One Hundred Reasons to Not Speedrun Dragon Warrior IV
Originally recorded 02/29/06 at / thecowness
A few days ago I raced Everhate and Highspirits in Dragon Warrior IV, as the final game in Highspirits' attempt to beat all of DQ1-9 in one week. They both beat me by about two hours. Other than cynical humor, the purpose of this video is to show how badly this speedrun can go, even if you do pretty much everything right.
This video probably could've been cut better, but this was my first attempt at editing a video so whatever. The YouTube video editor offset my selection for the first two clips I used by about five seconds for some reason, but I'm done messing with it.
For reference, the 7:06 time I'm comparing against is a really good RTA time, and not a realistic no-reset time.
Also, shoutouts to background-HighSpirits.
