Romancing Saga 3 (SNES)

2013-07-30 07:38:04 pm

Was really inspired by watching SGDQ and I wanted to run my favorite RPG... but I don't think anyone runs it at all. Does anyone know where I could get more information on any routes or just stuff in general about the game in general? Google and searching on the forums here only show a Japanese time, and apparently a Sara run that was withdrawn. Am I shooting too high?

It has a pretty big community over in moonland, RTAs and TASes both, with/without memory corruption, etc. I couldn't tell you what the specific records and holders are, but it involves some pretty goddamn fancy stuff involving the combination of save anywhere and rng resetting on power-on for perfect luck manipulation even in an RTA setting. Suffice to say it's been analyzed really, really thoroughly. You'll probably find plenty of stuff if you search on nico, but oyatsu might be a good place to start (http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/3220744).

Thanks for this... I wish I could read Japanese though...

You're pretty much screwed if you can't read japanese, as there is simply a vast amount of information in exhaustive detail out there about these games in moonspeak.

I would actually be curious to see a no reset run, since japanese runs are RTA by default and much of the real game-breaking involves resetting (not that there aren't regular glitches also), but just the thought of routing it etc is too intimidating for me personally.

I'm trying to watch and understand what's going on, but not looking good. It's my favorite RPG too :<

Obviously it's no substitute for a human translation, but have you tried google Chrome's translate page to english? (Note that if you are logged in and using the nicovideo japanese interface, you can swap to japanese language comments, use google chrome's page translate to translate them even though they're in the player, and any comment on the video that you want the translation for you can right click, select copy from the dropdown menu and head to translate.google.com . Of course anything baked into the video or any speech you are a bit screwed on)

Probably not that helpful, but here are some faster rtas. The fastest time from an easily accessible video, 1:53:48, is not the fastest time on the rta wiki. Timing is typical power-on to "The End."

retroceder jamais!!

let´s revive this thread, is really possible make a run of this game? i try this days make some katrina routes no doubt, grind for some time is necessary for battle against the devil lords and the last boss too or i lost something? for a long time a research on web material about monster, waza and magic i found nothing very really usable.
Someone is working on this?
Romancing Saga is a wonderful game but is very "luckhardcore" game.
