FF6 Tenkarider's contest (accessible even to casuals)

UPDATE:
If you're going to decide to keep playing the other tasks, according to your feedback on Task#1, then ignore the first task and try the others, before. That because the first task has a too much difficult logic to understand and the first impression will be awful for most of the attempters...
Task #1: (logic difficulty: 9.5/10 MOON LOGIC)

Check below for knowing more about tasks and the contest.

Here's my first project:

Not too much complex, basically a contest similar to the one of Lockirby2, if you don't know what i'm talking about(quite improbable... it's Lockirby2 ), then i'll simply copy-paste the features and rules below:

Features:

- You'll start from a save that i'll provide you with a link;
- Starting from there, you'll have to complete a task that i'll write under the link;
- You'll have to create a video that shows you complete the task;
- One task each month, so... the contest lasts about 30 days starting from when i post the related task;
- Everybody submits a YouTube video, which is unlisted until the contest period ends, just send me the link to the video...

Rules:

-The time starts at the moment when you load the save.
-The time ends when you finish the task;
-The goal is not to upload your video on an earlier date than everybody else.
-A video uploaded today with a time of 50 minutes (as timed above) will lose to a video uploaded tomorrow with a time of 30 minutes.
-Therefore, the entire period from save load to task complete must be recorded for timing, and it's all important.
-However, this means that there is no pressure to get this done today.
-You have a full month, so you can fit this in where it can be in your schedule.
-Or you can use that time to optimize your route if you have plenty of time.
-I will be hopefully upload a video showing the top four contenders on the same screen, to compare the routes and have a fun results video.
PS. I dunno if i'm able to show'em in the same screen, but i'll try to do something

Differences:

- Any task's save will be hacked, so... even veterans will always see something new;
- That means you'll download a patch for the basic rom, plus the save;
- I may decide to put the task in a specific place of the story, it may result handy providing you a savestate too... if there's an event or something. Otherwise you'll simply load my save and the timer will actually start in the specific moment in which you'll be able to begin the task;
- My tasks may result a bit harder, or tricky... but still accessible to everyone.
- I dunno what's planning Lockirby2 for his contest, anyway my tasks may be focused on goals like: Solve a sort of puzzle, invented by me; Escaping from a place; Surviving from something, etc;


I don't want just to imitate Lockirby2, i want show you something fun to play or watch, i'm also curious to know your skill at gaming, since i'm new
I really suggest this and Lockirby2's contest to casual players: you may learn some interesting tricks and strategies from veterans videos, or simply discover them from yourself, and eventually become more skilled in general


Are you interested? lemme know if you wanna try this contest too

Hmmm... seems really Interesting. I'll take a go at it.

Perfect
Since i hate to wait the normal flow of the events... after voting the MML contest, i'll probably start to hack, and probably finish it within the next 5 hours

I can anticipate the title of the first task...

Task #1: RESCUE TERRA!!!

Sorry for the delay... but it came out to be quite tricky the task #1
Anyway here's the task:

Task #1 : RESCUE TERRA!!!

Place: Narshe caves labyrinth, before moogle's den;

Enemies: guards of Narshe and their leader;

Task goal: beat the leader.

Ok, it doesn't seem so much original... basically is the same of the story... not exactly.
Everything is hacked: you, the enemies and other stuff.
In order to win you'll have to figure out where's the stuff and how to use it properly.
The possible combinations are a lot, actually i'm not even able to say which is the best way to speed run, choose the one you wish

Time start: beginning of June 22

Time end: the end of July 21


When you record the task, the actual starting of the task's timer is when the moogles stop their explanation and you can move Locke.

PS. you must record since the save load, anyway you can skip the story event using a savestate, in order to save time, but you must show me clearly the path before and after the load of the savestate.

Take it easy and have fun!!!

Since in previous days i heard about people that couldn't patch/make compatible srm saves and stuff...

If you have any problem with my files, feel free to ask me anything on how to make them work, or even if you have doubts about the task

I'll try it, considering that I can hardly try my own.

Actually you could try your task too, without partecipate to the contest... That's kinda like what i'll do with my task

To balance the hack, cutting time that would have been considered boring, instead of an endurance trial, and other stuff, i spent lots of hours...

I tested everything, but not the possible best route... there are so many possible combinations to try!!

At the end of task #1 time, when it won't be anymore possible to pass me other videos, then i'll post my personal route video, other than the top 4 (i'll try to not being influenced by other videos )

Oh Man, Tenkarider. This is very Dickish, But Creative. Well done Man.

Kinda like it's Tenkarider's style

How would you judge it, in terms of difficulty?

PS. Did you manage to accomplish the task? i'm talking about bad results too, like more than 40 minutes for finish the task.


At the end of the time i'll write all the features of my hack, i'm curious about knowing how much features you'll had figure out, until the end

Well I only took one Shot at it so far and died on the first Battle.
