[TAS] Genesis Shining Force II by Degreezy in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2023-12-14
Shining Force II is a tactical role-playing game that's not a direct sequel to the first title. You follow the story of Bowie, a squire who is set out on a journey to fight against the invading armies of a resurrected Zeon, and to recover the Holy Sword and the stolen jewels to reseal the Devil King.
Watch as Degreezy ( tasvideos.org/... ) completes this journey and deals with new exploits to improve on the previous movie by just over an hour.

Never seen a TAS on SF2 like this before ! Good TAS ! Cheers to DarkKobold for always holding this game down over the years !

Bowie saying Astral's lines ("I've never experienced anything like this in my 70 years of life!") later in the run is such a joy

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

Motoaki Takenouchi masterpiece music still gives me chills

[@YawleyG]

Bowie has a lot to say now. I'm surprised the game doesn't have a bigger issue with Astral being absent.
Also, shoutouts to Odd Eye remembering his travels with the Force when that didn't even happen.

It's interesting to see just how much of this is essentially proto-Golden Sun looking back on it

[@MythicMagus]

it always amuses me greatly when the walls end up being suggestions.

Damn, 13 years to shave off an hour. Nice job!

Wow! If there was one ability I wish I could take from this TAS into a real playthru it's that ability to guarentee double attacks every time. That would be so utterly beyond handy it alone would cut a run's time in half. Fascinating to see just what kind of code manips can be done in this game, attack nearly anywhere, attack at angles, swap stats around, bridge areas you should not be able to get into (and get Higgins early enough that he's useful!) just damn impressive to watch. Thanks for this!

We used to skip school just to get through first island
It took a long time without opponent control.

[@TheUltimateRare]

i feel like the art drawings a bit better in the second game. i'm use to the first game i think it was. I had it on PC in a mega sega pack or whatever, with a lot of other wacky games.

There's ads on this channel now? It makes it impossible to skip through parts of the video

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

the Granseal v Galam war is just like the war we have today
you cannot really explain it but as some evil possession

[@exidy-yt]

My favourite moment has to be Lemon Reaper-ing the Reaper. ;-)

[@Groxley]

Trying to imagine what it must be like watching a kid walk through a wall on the other side of the room only for him to appear behind you and stab you through rhe shoulder

[@orlof507]

This run looks more like fire emblem with all those double attacks

[@feliciavale4279]

what the heck is going on

[@ollaitsrealgood]

... Wow...

[@phantomdragonv2x]

No caravan, no leviathan, no taurus... What?!

[@damin9913]
