@@Primalliquid92 i always though that stealing in this game was really hard when compared to something like ff5 or ff9 because in those games you could get the thief gloves early on wich made steanling much easier while in this game i have to wait till remiem temple so i cam get the items to customize master thief even then stealing doesn't get easier it just guarantees the item you steal is the rare one

[@Primalliquid92]

rare steals are actually 1/4 chance so its by far the best rates of any FF game, what makes it annoying is the chance to steal gets lowered DRAMATICLY for every successful steal, so after a handful of steals you pretty much have to get a new fight to continue stealing.

[@zander2758]

Final Fantasy X was the first Final Fantasy I ever played. When I was a kid I was super impatient and skipped through the tutorial as quickly as I could, and I missed that the sphere grid even existed. Flash forward to me having somehow powered through everything in the game up to the first fight on the airship where I'm having significant issues killing the boss. I asked a friend at school for advice. He asked me where everyone was on the sphere grid thinking maybe I missed some abilities or stat upgrades that I should have gotten. I will never forget the look on his face when I responded "Sphere grid? What's that?"

[@typical_snowflake]

[@astruh9788]

I DID THE SAME THINGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! I have no idea how i did it either lol. I guess because the bosses are kinda pushovers until then. My dad let me use the game every other week or so and when hed come back and see that i was farther he would tell my mom that he was impressed. Then he gave me a save with all items and 100% lol. It was so funny you did that too. Same battle i had issues with.

[@KnownAsKenji]

I had a girlfriend who played through 1/3 of Super Mario World without knowing Mario could run, part of why she was stuck in Vanilla cave.

Same with flying which she just said 'nope' to after I showed her. Some people do legit miss that though.

My current playthrough is 200 hours in. I’m in the calm lands still grinding. Not a single blitz ball game (except those 2 in Luca) but I have all fiends from the calm lands. Cavern of the stolen fayth and Mt Gagazet for the monster arena. Only just managed to beat the second fiend that the monster arena produces. In 200 hours of playing. I’ve only hit game over 4 times. And 2 of them were the monster arena. 2 were being stupid and running the wrong way and hitting Dark Yojimba. My last playthrough (my only time completing the game) I think I played for about 130.

[@Primalliquid92]

agreed compeltely here, i love it when you can play in pretty much anyway and with enough knowledge and paitence still complete the game. Something later FFs are seriously lacking.

[@SesrohOn]

Yunalesca was the hardest for me. I remember coming back to this game about 15 years later and remembering this moment. I spent days leveling, getting the best stone proof/confuse proof/sleep proof armor & weapons, having everyone (and aeons) on overdrive, literally writing down a game plan for the different stages...and still getting my ass handed to me on a silver platter.

[@adamgray1753]

Yep, sesroH oN! Been there, done that too. Yunalesca's fight made me dread FFX so much for so long until I learned to just accept the Zombie Status for at least one character just before she does her Insta-Death spell on your party. Those who are Zombies are spared. This was my only saving grace and still is to this very day!

[@SesrohOn]

So here's something worth knowing about the Calm Lands: Once you unlock Chocobos you can do the race at Remiem Temple, winning once gets you the Cloudy Mirror however doing the race again opening 3 Chests and touching no poles will give you 30x Wings To Discovery. Meaning with Rikku's Overdrive can give you a minimum 15 uses of Trio Of 9999 meaning Fire Gems will do multiple hits at the damage cap. Al Bhed Potions will heal 9999HP as well.

This was a dang impressive video. Thank you for investing so much time into making this. Even bigger props for not getting bored and giving up halfway through bc that's usually how my attempts at these go.

[@BAIGAMING]

FFX was so popular for so long partly because FF12 was the first FF game that took "a while" to come out, so in the early 2000's you had people with a lot of time, who did so many crazy challenges with the craziest abbreviations, just check GameFAQs, but a lot of them were done before posting videos online was viable and before technology was better. I really enjoy watching challenge runs because I remember it as something you could never do in the old days, I could only hear stories from people's posts back then. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!

[@travman314]

Nice job! I've done a No Sphere Grid, Rikku Only, No Overdrives challenge up until Jecht so feel I can offer some criticism or advice for those who want to try this out. Though I allowed Attack (or more importantly, Evade & Counter), an overwhelming amount of my damage was done through Items. Steal, Use, and Customization are incredibly broken in this game, which is why Rikku can beat the game by herself without ever touching the SG. With that said, I feel you over-grinded in the beginning (minus getting Steal/Use). Since you didn't limit yourself to escaping battles, you really only need grenades and tier 1 elemental items until Mushroom Rock/Djose when you can reliably steal better items (silence/smoke/petrify grenades). None of the stealing in Besaid/Kilika is necessary. 99 rare steal poison fangs, smoke bombs, dragon scales, sleeping powders, AND petrify grenades that early is overkill and a waste of 24+ hours. You can get most of those items later on before they're absolutely needed for some battles. You'd probably only need about 20 poison fangs at most to get through Seymour 1 & 2 and Evrae, which are the only fights they're really necessary in other NSG challenges. Even then, allowing the SG allows for beefier characters so you COULD just spam tier 2 elemental (3 if you have some gems), smoke bombs, and sleeping/dream powders on them then heal the damage. You didn't ban Defend, so the first 3 Seymour fights only need 1 poison fang and it's gg. In fact, anything not immune to poison dies in 1 easily obtained item post-Calm Lands. Status items inflict the status 100% (more accurately, 255%) of the time unless the target is immune. That's why smoke/petrify/silence grenades and sleeping/dream powders are soooo good. You also can kill Yu Yevon by only Defending until he gets below the amount needed from 1 supreme/shining gem. He only Curagas if you target him and Gravija does damage to himself as well. You'll never die since it's an HP% reducing attack. Or you could've used a Candle of Life and let Doom kill him in 3 turns. I feel you over-emphasize the importance of Auto Protect/Shell armor. Since most bosses don't dispel you, throwing a light/lunar curtain by itself is much less time consuming. SOS Haste is really all you need for random battles which you can drop hunt or customize with 20 chocobo feathers. Ideally, you'd want different armors for different fights. Confuseward armor is easily customizable and guarantees confusion from Yunalesca for example. If you really wanna grind for end-game armor, you could buy the 4 empty slot armors from Watz and put auto protect/shell/haste on them with something else, but that's pretty silly imo since the SG is allowed and you get Defense and HP.

[@Matthew_Klepadlo]

travman314 Is there any easy way you can take out the boss fight against Rikku in the Moonflow for an NGS playthrough…? Just Tidus and Wakka against 4000 hp is a lot…

[@siekensou77]

if you want to kill cactuars, i think poison fangs prior to thunder plains is necessary. poison fangs give you overkill for cactuars instantly thus giving you a big boost

[@siekensou77]

i like using tetra eater armor for general heal. you can use attack items to heal or let enemies heal you. and especially seymour.. he will hit you then heal you. how nice of him

Morality: keeps your head clear, keeps you from self-destruction via overindulgence, and keeps you principled and grounded(mentally immovable). It's extremely useful even outside of the: "imaginary sky daddy". Sin is fun, but it's also the number 1 killer. Basically, morality and principles keep your lizard brain from devouring itself, and help you: understand, work with, and gain trust from, other people. It's a useful tool for self maintenance that makes us have to use less willpower resisting shit that'll kill us in the end.

How about a chalinge where you don't plug twitter every 5 mins lol I counted in the first 30mins you plugged it 6 times making 1 every 5 mins but I was shocked when you did not for the last 7 mins of the video

I usually hate when someone does that, but in this case he has the right, those are alot of hours

[@theobsessednered]

I don't hate that he did it and wether it was alot of hours or just 10 seconds of game play they the has the right to plug there twitter as much as they want I still liked and enjoyed the video comments help the KZbinrs so I thort I would make a joke a factually corect and funny (to me and that's all that matters) joke

[@Chibi-Luka]

I genuinely enjoyed this vid. It was really interesting to see this condensed version of a really unique run. I really enjoyed the commentary, and how you kept tabs on how long grinding items took. Which gave me an idea of the hard work put in, while not having to sit through it myself. Over all I'm happy I stuck through to the end. That said, I lost track of how many times you asked for comments, subs, follows, and every other plug in. It was really forced and it really pulled away from the playthrough. I found myself wanting to click away multiple times and if it weren't for the fact that the run challenge was so interesting, I would have. I sub if the content is good, and yours was really interesting. But I can't bring myself to listen to that every vid.

[@joshkary5040]

First off, let me start by saying: amazing video. Absolutely insane the amount of passion that went into this, and I love that! B U T The constant asking for likes and follows and subscriptions can get very tedious, very quickly. I loved the run and the concept, but plugging slightly less would definitely go a long way in my eyes!

[@Flawlessvictoryshow]

Agreed. I couldn't even finish the video because the constant plugs were just getting on my nerves. Funny enough had he only asked once I'd have done it. I ended up disliking due to how annoying the video got.

[@joshkary5040]

@@eileeng9317 Let me start with a few things that you mentioned that are just factually, incorrect. "No more than 30 seconds in total out of an entire 37 minute video" is BLATANTLY false. He spends the literal last minute plugging, which is fine as expected in a video like this, as well as the first few minutes tossing it in very frequently, sometimes at the expense of the commentary. He also inter-splices it very frequently, disrupting the flow of the first half of the video OFTEN, often enough that it's noticeable by more than just myself if the likes on my comment are indicative of anything. Secondly, yes, "plugging his twitter a few times" actually does cause for some people to be dissuaded from watching the _37 minute long video._ The first half as I mentioned is littered with plugs that interrupt the flow in ways that make the view experience worse, and sometimes choke the video to a grinding halt. If that half was indicating anything about the video, it would be that the whole thing will continue that way to the point that it's difficult to care. The video is already long, so even if you _didn't_ think that the video was going to be that the whole way through, it might be enough to make it not worth your time. *It's honest criticism.* Also, as a final point, the amount of time HE put in does not mean we owe him likes or anything of the sort. I even complimented him, and left a like, but that does not detract from my statement. Why would you watch something that is semi-repetitive in how he achieves the goal (as in, self proclaimed overgrinding nearly half of your estimation of his play time) if the video is constantly pausing itself? Flow is an incredibly important part of any video, and claiming that the flow wasn't broken, and even insulting others in protest to it, is downright fucked. P.S. If you're going to call someone a petty cunt, maybe consider it from a different viewpoint beforehand. There's no entitlement here, it was genuinely positive feedback with constructive criticism that was left after liking the video, you _petty cunt._

[@eileeng9317]

@@joshkary5040 You know what? You're right. Partially, at least. Your reasoning here at least makes more sense than the vague statements you gave in your original comment. The grand total of him plugging his Twitter/Twitch/Patreon totals to 52 seconds out of the full 37 mins, so good on you for being right on that, but you're also factually incorrect by stating the last minute of his video is purely full of plugs. Most of that last minute is spent talking about his experience with the challenge and encouraging his community engagement on the video, as well as asking what his viewers would like to see in the future. Out of that last minute, only about 12 seconds are used to plug his Patreon - the only other sm plug. You could be stingy and say that he asks people to subscribe etc as well, but those are things that literally every single youtuber does to encourage engagement from the fans, and if they get a pass I don't see why it should be a problem for him to do so. 02:03 - 02:11 - 9 sec 04:27 - 04:34 - 7 sec 08:39 - 08:49 - 10 sec 12:56 - 12:59 - 3 sec 22:00 - 22:07 - 7 sec 31:45 - 31:50 - 5 sec 36:30 - 36:41 - 11 sec Total - 52 seconds of actively plugging social media. You are correct - he does plug more frequently in the beginning. Doesn't change the fact that people are shitting themselves over 7 plugs, 3 of which were so quick and so integrated with his line of talking that I initially missed them and had to go back to check again, and one of which is at the very end of his video, interspersed between channel engagement, which most people seem to skip or ignore anyway. Also, that second point is extremely hinged on personal opinion. You might have found them to interrupt the flow and bring the vid to a halt, but I and plenty of other people, did not. I suppose I can see why it, along with the length, might dissuade *new* viewers from watching, so I understand that point of yours, but whether they do or don't like/notice it will still come down to each individual viewers personal preferences. Either way, I concede on this one that I can understand where you're coming from, but I'd argue that rather than not plugging he smight be able to integrate his plugs a bit more. Like I said previously, some of those plugs went by so quickly and seamlessly that I didn't even notice them at first and had to go back to find them. Maybe doing a few more like these would be a good idea. The point I was making was that if he spends 100+ hours making a video that will likely be demonized/screwed over by the algorithm/etc and he wants to plug his other social media, he should be allowed some self-indulgence. I certainly don't think it warrants a dislike(and no, this isn't talking about you, this is talking about the person that replied to you) at the very least, especially considering the amount of effort he put in vs less than a minute of interspersed plugs. That said, while I still don't agree with you, I at least understand where you're coming from with this to an extent. Ps: you do realize that you aren't the person I was talking to in that edit...right? The person that replied to you is the one that edit was directed at (I even typed his name - not including the numbers but still) and his comment isn't "genuinely positive feedback" as yours apparently is.

[@Flawlessvictoryshow]

@@eileeng9317 I can totally respect the amount of effort and time he put into this, which is why when I first started watching the video I planned to like it. However I am a person who doesn't like plugs or begging in videos. If its done once I can understand that, but the amount seen in the first 8 minutes alone just made the video unwatchable to me. I clicked this video to watch him try to complete the challenge. Instead I got a video of someone begging for likes and twitter follows. It at least feels that way. You say its only 52 seconds, which in the grand scheme of things isn't too long. Yet when I watched the video it felt like it was being thrown in my face constantly. The number one thing I care about is content. I wanted to see this guy complete the challenge, to laugh along with him or be wowed by the time and effort he went through. Not to be told to follow his Twitter every few minutes. Imagine watching a movie and every couple of minutes the characters stop what they are doing to joke about buying the movies merch, or telling you to follow the directors Twitter. It totally ruins the flow. The reason for the Dislike is because I hate content made with the purpose of plugging someones other social medias, or begging for likes over actual content. Instead of putting all your effort or time into making a high quality video its filled with branding or begging. I just don't like watching stuff like that. I respect content creators who actually don't ask for that stuff and care about making quality content. Especially if they love what they do. I'm not saying you can't ask, I'm just saying the amount in this video was excessive. Considering this wasn't the original creators intention, at least based on what I've read, ill remove the dislike. But the video is still unwatchable to me. In truth I really liked the video when he wasn't plugging his stuff. It was really interesting and the creator has some charisma. I was even considering subscribing and checking out his other content before the constant plugging started. Maybe his other videos aren't this bad? I don't know, but this one kind of soured the experience for me.

[@Primalliquid92]

@@Flawlessvictoryshow All my other videos have 1 plug at the very start and 1 at the very end. I had tried to work them in so that they wouldnt take away from the experience. (think more subliminal) they were to heavy at the start though and i apolagise for that. Let me explain why its done though and in such a rushed mannor by not only me but alot of creators lately. It stems from the recent COPPA changes, KZbin going full Anti-creator and the possibility alot of us are just going to have our channels straight up shut down come Janurary 1st. this means we may have VERY little time to get our audiences over to other platforms so we can continue to make a living. Large creators who get 10s of millions of views a month dont need to worry so much about this, the smaller channels however do. Imagine working a normal job only to be told "you might lose your job with no warning randomly come next month" You're going to do everything possible to try and atleast maintain some income arnt you? Hope this explains everything for you.
