Achieving Everything in Final Fantasy 1 is Insanity

Final Fantasy 1 might be only 144 Kilobytes in size, but achieving everything in the game is an amazingly hard task. Beyond beating the game, or completing the bestiary and every side quest, what nonsense ways can we expand the time to complete Final Fantasy to insane levels? There's a lot you can do to expand this game to sizes that rival Final Fantasy 14, just almost assuredly 100% less fun.
Thanks for watching! This was a fun video to produce, as I love the Final Fantasy series and really enjoy talking about all kinds of crazy challenges within these games. If you enjoyed, I have many more plans for stuff like this, so please Like, Share, Comment and Subscribe!

What about stepping on every tile of the game with every character at every level? how could a game be complete without that ?

[@Templarfreak]

50 levels. 6 classes. how many tiles even are there? that's going to be 50!^6^...however much that is lol.

[@ebrahimnaeem757]

@@Templarfreak 15,625,000,000... is however much that is

[@Templarfreak]

@@ebrahimnaeem757 50 _factorial_ to the power of 6. but actually, i dont remember why i thought that was the correct math, though. it may be, but i dont remember my reasoning for why 50!^6. but just to put that into perspective, that is: 7.9149693025518871556863281273387e+386. which is basically all those numbers before the *e,* to the power of 10 followed by another 386 zeroes, lol. EDIT: still not sure why i had a factorial, but the max level in the OG NES FF1 is 50 and there are 6 classes.

[@coprographia]

I was going to be like, “For shame, what if Ulillillia is watching this and takes it as a challenge?” But honestly, if he was ever going to spend 5,000+ hours exploring every last infinitesimal crack of Final Fantasy 1, I expect he already finished years ago.

[@cristobalpreller2808]

Based ulillillia, hope he's doin alright

I never played the game. I come to the channel for the reviews and the salt. You have a knack for keeping folks entertained with the cadence of your content. It is fast paced and witty. The well timed memes that pop up help sell moments. Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much! I'm glad that I could entertain you regardless of playing FF1. That being said, I recommend FF1, it's a good game lol

I love your sense of humor so im going to be watching pretty much anything you put out but i also really like this series concept. Taking it farther than anybody possibly would amuses me.

Another great video down. Please keep up the great work. Love all of the witty sarcasm and rhyming.

[@msarilyn7677]

Holy spell at level 8 was called something different, but it is the only damage spell can kill Chaos easily and damage non undead.

[@hoodedman6579]

It's called FADE and it will deal 80-320 damage, but usually in the 80-160 range for Chaos. It's probably not better than just attacking and hoping for crits while using the same spell slots to full heal over and over instead.

[@Kevbo2040]

"Garland will knock you down many times" Haaaah. Nice. I get it. 😏

[@stevescriver2443]

Solid content. Enjoy the visuals and music choices, and the games. If I weren't so lazy I feel like this is similar to what I'd make. I digress, I will just vicariously live through your content

YYYEEESSSS ANOTHER SEER VIDEO! Love your content

[@JDPower-ej3rx]

Never stop Seer you've got something special happening here

[@goober112]

Good to see content other than D2. I hope you continue this series!

[@DungeonsAndDerps]

Hey Seer, I subscribed during the peak of Diablo 2 Resurrected Hype, and I just wanted to say it's good to see you branch out into other topics / games as well, despite your D2R content being the most popular at the time of writing this. I subbed because you're a funny dude and your content cheers me up, not just because of D2R. KZbin Channels starting to really take off unfortunately often makes creators feel obliged to stick to the content that helped them break through, only for them to turn into a one-trick pony and get burned out within less than a year or two. I'm glad that this channel seems to be taking a different route. Keep up the good work, greetings from Germany

[@jameshill2450]

Bestiary. Best-E-Airy. Not beast-diary.

[@Xaitni92]

You make more videos than i change socks... Keep it up man!

[@kloroform1681]

From D2 to Final Fantasy...a man after my own heart. You got me with the, "So, it's quite doable, honestly," at the end. Haha Quality content, as usual! This makes me think tho...what's next? XD

[@cristhianmlr]

Press enter, not space.

[@Bollibompa]

Awesome video! Keep it up my dear boi

[@dontfrythis2458]

What about the rat tail quest from bahamut? You need to also finish the game with every advanced class as well

[@lemonke8132]

Ehh... i kinda felt the argument devolved when we started discussing beating the game once per permutation of character slots. If we’re going to degenerate ourselves to that level, then you can argue any game takes an infinite amount of time to 100%. I think it would make more sense if 100% was defined by actually completing novel activities in the game, instead trivial nonsense like “beat the game on warrior warrior rogue rogue and then rogue rogue warrior warrior” cuz after several runs with similar compositions, they’re all gonna feel the same. U feel me?

[@seer6251]

I do feel you! Even when making this I had my doubts. But I feel like the fun is going as nuts as possible, and making things stretch as far as they'll allow, but the 'whammy' factor in this video wasn't too impressive. It's just amazingly tedious lol. I feel like I could've improved it, but I'm still happy with the end product, and I'll just have to try and keep refining how I do this series of videos.

[@EzekielGoldbergII]

I only subscribed for D2 content but really liking your other stuff too.

[@Pezmage1]

I approve of your red mage power level.

[@wcjerky]

While the game itself can be cryptic about where to go, the original cartridge came with a manual with a map of the world with points of interest labelled. It also had a bestiary. I am old, yes.

[@BalancedSpirit79]

"The Thief is dogshit" That got me good. So true. XD

[@teedeepk]

My subscription to Nintendo Power sent me a full, magazine size walkthrough of FF1! Local rental place had it, so I did the 5 movies/games for 5 days for $5. AND IT WAS AWESOME ..I remember there was some hype about a rare enemy. They wanted us to mail in a photo of Warmech.

[@vincienco]

My guy spoiling us with the quality 👌

[@musicgardener2142]

You know that getting class upgrades at Bahamut is an option... which in itself doubles the hours of finishing the game with every class combination (with and without promotion / class change).

[@mattwelch2470]

Amazing to see you toss love on ff1. I love the pixel remaster almost as much as I loved playing on the clunky NES as a young sprat. Bravo sir!

[@callingoutthetruth2171]

If you like adding in party combinations you should review Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar for the NES. Its a great game and lots of stuff, especially with the virtue system.

[@seer6251]

Oh yeah, great game. I played that recently, and it probably would make for an extremely tedious 'achieving everything' if I wanted to lol.

[@williamalongi5097]

"First of all, foul language never got anyone anywhere >:/" I'm fucking dead lmao

[@yevaud6]

There's one more thing you missed, and to include it I would not do the last step to add time that you suggested...but you could. Complete the game in every way you mentioned, without getting the job upgrade. I'd say double the final time you mentioned, but it might be somewhere closer to triple, but not quite.

[@ramycardo]

You should do pokemon red and blue next

[@nightowl8363]

I watch your D2 stuff, didnt know you played FF too , cool man👍👍. My favorite version is FF1 Origins on PS1. Knight,Knight, Red Wizard, White Wizard.

The thief may suck, however the Ninja is awesome and can equip most everything along with learning black magic including fast.

[@KornSaw]

Here is some feedback, great video I’m hooked!

[@geoDB.]

There are still people coping about how good artifact is, by the way in DMR

[@velvetbutterfly]

I'm surprised you didn't mention stuff like the Penninsula of Power. Or defeating Chaos with Fear

[@hoodedman6579]

Fun fact, even resisted spells in FF1 have a 3/255 chance (which is supposed to be 1/201 but isn't because of RNG weirdness) of working no matter what. This lets you use the Bane sword on anything to potentially instant kill it, which is actually very important for the White Mage and Thief against Chaos because he's nearly impossible to kill with physical attacks if he sticks Slow on you (with is about a 75% chance, as SLO2 is a non-elemental spell and player characters have crappy magic defense). You might honestly be more likely to win if you just use the Bane sword over and over instead of even bothering to try and hit him normally, it's kind of hard to tell. I'm so glad the Black Mage gets FAST so he doesn't have to worry about it at all; he's much worse in many other parts of the game but the final dungeon is an absolute cake-walk compared to the other two difficult classes. Note that this is assuming that you don't promote, a promoted Thief could probably just kill him normally without too much trouble. I did solo unpromoted classes though for some reason.

[@josephmay852]

Oh good, I got here with a year to spare

[@TheGreatGario]

you forgot playing through each party composition without the class level up, since that changes how the game is played (kind of a challenge mode, if you will) so double the time it'd take and you'll be good to go *thumbs up*

[@fartpunch3937]

Ahem. Sir, you forgot the 15 tile minigame.

[@seer6251]

This is actually so sad for me LOL. The game is such a cool little thing, and I completely forgot it. On the positive side, it adds like 5 minutes to the game, but that's still a big forget.

[@IYPITWL]

Good luck finding the iron giant naturally :) I grinded that dang bridge for hours and he never showed.

[@MisterMoray]

Since you've started at the first, if you make a video for each Final Fantasy game and then compile them into one video, you could define infinity.

[@thesemipro822]

You should do this for Dark Cloud. Given you're using Dark Cloud music in these videos... and its just an amazing game.

[@alexblades5218]

Opaque NES rpg games...... so Ultima 3 for a future video? 10+ classes weird mix of 2d and ancient 3d, 2 overland worlds, and generally all round merciless game that was sold to little kids. Wizardry 1 on NES could be in there for hard NES rpg games well, but it had a sneaky quick levelling trick, and run from combat exploit- ultimately you could serial beat it in an afternoon.

[@seer6251]

Damnnn Ultima 3 and Wizardry 1 could potentially be murder if I try to make them take as long as possible. So many little things that would be absolutely tedious lol. I love old school though, so maybe I play around with those ideas.

Things that are considered Reasonable for Final Fantasy 1, Beating the fucking game you've owned for 7 years. Me: I'ma pretend I didn't hear that one. Oh so it's doable in that many years I wonder if I'll have beaten FF1 by then (Probably not) I really have to go beat this damn thing don't I? Thinking about one of these in a modern shin megami tensei game sounds awful, get every demons stats to 99 in the compendium (May not be that bad in nocturne because mitama), get all of your stats to 99, then do it again in EVERY POSSIBLE allignment choice.
