Why punish yourself even further?! I've never done any challenge runs myself, but I always love the ideas. I'm currently playing through all six pixel remaster games and I'm on FF5 PR right now.

A few people have done min/max runs where they try to get 9999hp by keeping the monk job for much of the game, and they noticed you have to really plan carefully because of stats are gained at level up. So they maximize the job level first by defending and running a lot. When they hit Monk 99 they start leveling their characters. And yes all those people noticed the onion knight has garbage stats the whole game.

Men, you are just a self harm master, but I love your challenges

I always thought it was kinda disappointing that cloud of darkness was just like a numbers game, no strategy just brute force out damaging and outhealing

Before watching: YES. But it sucks before it git gud.

Vefore watching it all, can a monk get past garuda? Yep. No.

I thought the base Job was called freelancer

Any fan of _Final Fantasy III_ earns a sub from me.

Aaa this guy.... he even like heavy onion on his pizza!!😊🍕👏🏼🎶👏🏼

10:50 final fantasy tactics is prone to that. I have a low level vid with cup of life and math skilled toad lol. But seriously general rules: no mana shield, auto potion (lifefont is good enough), teleport, arcane strength (buffs speechcraft that can reliably make minions join or bosses sleep/not have a turn, geomancy and iaido) holy, flare, tailwind speed abuse, orlandeau, blood sword equip swords ninja, graviga/invigoration (graviga 2 shots all bosses and invigoration life drains in 4 shots, and can be a war of attrition with defense boost). Some do single class but that's too much effort let alone chapter 1 is easy to cheese giving everyone black magic to own enemies with less speed to dodge and less hp so fire spam can be lethal. I'd also say to ban rend speed as the game is a joke if you dual wield or have some concentration brawler monk doing that (and ch 2 steel maxes bravery better than orator's praise for monk/reaction attacks).

Beautiful run lol And let’s be real: Aerith is a red mage. She has a peculiar style, uses black and white magic at equal proficiencies, and has a red color scheme.

I think you should be allowed to change to the advanced version of the class in these runs so you can use advanced spells and weapons. Shaman, Magus, Black Belt, Knight, Etc.

I haven't played this game in a long time and thought there was something about the onion knight. Came across this video in a search and now I'm reminded. There was a small miss on the opening statements. The first final fantasy had a job system. You chose your jobs and you were locked into those jobs the whole game. This was the first to allow you to change jobs during the game since ff2 didn't have a job system.

I can honestly say ive never used onion knight, it comes so late in the game.

I like Final Fantasy V because it took the job system and made it much more customizable and interactive. Not just switching jobs, but combining them.

Got to be a special kind of hell for the final boss, just being continually ground down as the enemy heals up after every attack and realizing "Damn, I have NOTHING I can throw at these people" after a few minutes. But still having to keep fighting because they can't retreat.

Would love to see some challanges on the 3D Version since it's harder :)

Wait there's no detective guy?

my fave final fantasy is 5 its just very replayable and deep in its mechanics n shit. final fantasy 4 is a close second that game is so cozy for me

At Hein: yeah, besides their weak magic (even with items), the other big issue with the Monks is lousy magic defense. Prorings definately help, al-though the game only gives you 3 so you have to farm one from a Behamoth king, or do without. Good news is that if the enemy doesn't pick magic often you can pretty easily nuke anything (including the cloud of darkness) from Orbit with these guy's absurd attack stats (just make sure you leave them unarmed or else they do bad damage)

At goldor in video. Didn't know he resisted magic, interesting. Also, in my analysis on the last video I made an error: white MAGES don't learn Holy/White, only White Wizzards and Sages. Good news is I forgot about Aeroaga, so maybe that'll fill in the gap (spell items probably will as well, but definately access to a few charges of Holy/White would have probably been real nice in the dark world -- we'll see when I get there). Also, good news for Goldor is that (at least in FFV), Staffs are considered the same kind of weapon as Axes so they go through physical defense (not that that is much of a consolation as they are REALLY weak)

at start: I've done it on PR, so I know it's possible, I will say though, going into the video that I expect MASSIVE pain between Water crystal and onion equipment (I got through by farming magic casting items starting just after Kracken then REALLY needed them to get through Doga, Uni, and Eureka). But once you get Onion equipment you can pretty easily destroy the game. Let's see if you end up in your high 70s at the end, like I was, or if you come up with some novel ways to solve this problem.

Favorite is FF1, but mainly because it is the only one I've played. I didn't finish though. Got stuck at some graveyard where the ghosts kept paralyzing me and it was the version where you have to go back to town to replenish mp iirc.

Video was honestly great and comprehensive. You did me a solid because I'm never going to go through the agony that is this run.

25:57 My favourite is FF8 : )

I feel like your voice kind of rambled/trailed off at times, so using a script (or sticking closer to one, if you were already using one) would probably help, since it just sounded like you were bored for most of the video. I do appreciate the spirit of the run, though. I've always had a soft spot for FF3, despite how janky it is.

What a legend, man; steel resolution 😂 - nice ending. My FF list is: ff6,ff3,ff7 and ff15 for my favorites (:

i usually watch youtube or maybe something like british baking show while grinding

my favorite final fantasy games are 6, 7 and 9(only played ff1-10 and didnt care for 8 or 10 much)

great video, ur voice is really relaxing

This is a pretty solid video, especially for the first one you're editing. You deserve to be proud of it.

I recently tried this on the pixal remaster and uhhhh i quickly gave up on it lol. Im patient, but apparently not enough to do Onion knight only.

My fave is FF6, it's my fave cause for me it had the best most moving story. My fave character is Celes from FF6. And I am enjoying your play of this i also liked ff3

3:20 "we come face to face with Muhammad" 😂

FF3 is my favorite one so far but the fights that require a certain job really weigh down the game and the job system overall

that was a fun watch! thanks for making this video -- it's a ton of work to put a good production together.

9, best character development. (other than amarant) there is no character in the main roster i dislike

You did a good job with the video ty for posting it

ff14 monk job for your names, I love the monk rotation is so engaging

I thought the onion knight was the best class in the game post 90 but i could be thinking of another final fantasy

Nice! I heard the Onion Knight gets powerful in later levels but I had no idea they got that strong.

nice video but my dude add a background music plz hahah otherwise it sounds very weird

Ff3 is my 3rd favorite ff game. :)

I was at 9:31 before I realized the names are types of onions. >_<

Good editing
