From what I gather, 1.7 of the mod swapped the names and effects of the Chalice of the Moon and the Galactic Globe- so I'd assume if you wanted the chalice as seen here then what you ACTUALLY want is the globe in current. I am not certain.

I adore auto potion, it's maybe the funniest early game break for how simple it is.

I lucked out as a kid and didn't get stuck here, but oh buddy did he destroy my friend's saves x.x I wasn't safe, it got me on a later boss back then lmaoo

@@redphienix i think if you dont know.. This is the most harder boss...there is no in between...u get nuked..or you nuke him...only.

@@RetroGamesMas He just never really hit any of my runs like that, or really demanded I nuke him usually- but considering how easily he 'can' nuke, oh buddy I believe it. For me it was Cúchulainn all day though. Couldn't tell you why his status dooming was so hard on kid me but it was. (That's a lie, I know why, because I had no items to resist sleep and doom, was too underleveled/poorly-built to kill him fast, and it makes you save the game before that fight like many other doom-your-save points in FFT lol) Wiegraf? No prob. Roof assassins? No prob. For SOME reason kid me was FLOORED by doom spam from Cúchulainn (and also was momentarily walled by the gate pseudo 1v1 with gaff because I was like "WHAT, I'll have to 1v1 sometimes??" which I guess maybe prepped me for wiegraf as a kid? Unsure.) This fight is definitely up there for most people- and it's no wonder. He's well statted, has really strong abilities that you most likely aren't prepped against without precognition of what he does, and it's a TRUE 1v1 with no assistance until you finish round 1. It's rough as hell!

It's the PS1 version. To be EXTREMELY precise on which version, it's the PS1 version made available through the PS3 digital store- (since back in 2017 when I started this themed playthrough my PS1 disc failed to load so I spent money buying a game I already own like 3 versions of lol) which is indeed just the PS1 version with no changes- the dialogue is unchanged here. I'd wager the PSP has different dialogue but the same sentiment since 99% of the text works that way in that version.

lmao

He was a leftist before selling his soul to the devil. Then he didn't care or didn't really exist anymore. He says he doesn't give a damn about the cause, he just desire chaos.

Trying not to be that person but hey, my vid, I can't really agree and I love rambling nonsense about FFT. Luckily, it doesn't matter what I think vis-a-vis differing opinions but I don't agree that this or any encounter in FFT is a "Cheese or get screwed" situation. Buuuut you can! And that's part of the identity of FFT that I love :) I did what I did in this video not /because/ of the fight, but because I could and felt like it at the moment I decided to click record. Heck the entire recording isn't "about" Wiegraf, it's just background noise for a post I made on an entirely different site. I won't come to bat over whether this fight was /entirely/ fair since you're not given proper expectations before entering just like a handful of other fights in the game- and the fact FFT does that is exactly why so many people associate encounters like this or the roof assassins or specific lucavi as "Complete BS!!!!!" Definitely the game of all time for teaching people to save in multiple slots- whoever at square enix thought asking to save before LOCKING you into an encounter was a good idea is a jackass lol but I can easily disagree that it's designed so poorly as to need to be cheesed. You don't need 2 or 3 actions per his 1, you don't need to focus to 60 strength before starting the fight, you don't need x y or z, I just happened to be doing that when I recorded this. If kid me randomly rolling a monk through only had to give it a second try when I realized Ramza was going in solo, I can't rightly say it's cheese or get screwed. This and any of the "BS" encounters really are doable with just about any team makeup, it's just a matter of "Do you have a way of defeating them quickly or disabling their means of killing you before you can?" and there's plenty of ways to go about that before you start needing to cheese with some of the more ridiculous mechanics available. But yeah, 100% you can cheese him. FFT is awesome because it gives you so many ways to go about cheesing to begin with. Slap a chameleon robe on. Slap auto potion on (genuinely the easiest counter for any fight is hi->x-potion auto potion), spend a dumb amount of time grinding beforehand and stealing end game gear from level 99 encounters before doing this, go brawler ninja, world's your oyster when it comes to ways to cheese him- but it's not necessary. Have a way to heal and be a class that isn't so unarmored that you're one shot and it's all good.

For kid me it was the double whammy of the "1v1" gaff fight at the gate which I barely made it through, and then the dang Cúchulainn fight was a HARD WALL that forced kid me to restart lol I just know this one is considered one of those potential walls so my title reflected that despite not being the point. Glad I learned to save multiple times and that some games ask you to save in "trapped" encounters lol

@@redphienix Gaff was a hard one. It almost forced you to lose to learn how to adapt to it, and that's what I love about this game. It forces to you realize the potential of the player. Cuchlainn never really gave me any problems... I'm not posturing to be clear, but I do agree that his instant AoE debuffs can be crippling. Wiegraf... He's a different story. He comes out of nowhere, after a gauntlet without any saves in between. An unexpected 1v1 for newbies, and he has all the strength, health, and abilities to tear anyone unprepared apart. Wiegraf and Marquis Elmdor will always be burned in my memory as bloody hard encounters that poked at the players confidence.

That's a damn shame to hear :( As a huge fan of the game, I'd love to say I hope you try again or when another re-release occurs but I wouldn't go forcing that- instead I'll say /if/ you do, there are plenty of strategies to push you over that edge and I hope you find one :) And otherwise- I'm glad you had fun prior to hitting this fight. Have a good one 👍

Or just auto potion with an inventory of hi potions or higher- this was not intended as an easy solution- it's a gimmick run that was having a laugh.

Yeah i did that as well in my first run.

Eyy, same here on the fight. I kept getting wrecked but lucked out and beat Wiegraf. Afterward Velius & his demons just wrecked me again & again. After many, MANY attempts, I stumbled unto the yell cheese and breezed through both fight. I was lucky to have yell because my friends that played FFT did not and were forced to start the game over. Sucks about your extension chord, it's a good game.

it is wonderful tbh

An important & powerful lesson. Good times.

Not to brag, but I never softlocked myself in this fight

@@RippahRooJizah actually it is really nothing to brag - because the experience is one of a kind, and everyone who experienced it is somewhat lucky. we - the victims of it - got something to share some crazy moments with it.

@@ValAllenSamonte I mean, I am not saying he was easy, by the way, I remember having issues. And I was stuck on him for a bit. I just never 'softlocked' myself.

Facts dude me too lol😊

lol yup taught me the importance of multiple save files too

Preach it! I bought this when it first came out along w/ official strategy guide & I STILL had to restart my game! I didn’t have an extra save file either…lesson learned for sure!

Once I did, I easily kicked Wiegraf's ass with Monk/Squire alone twice. It felt so good.

Real shit

Yep. Cidolfas Orlandu aka Thundergod Cid aka the game's apology for riovannes castle.
