[@DarkFrozenDepths]

I know I'd need a therapist if I tried this challenge cause of all the RNG

[@craigsands2567]

You'd still get better RNG than me

[@markli6763]

I actually did somewhat of a similar run where I tried to basically solo with selphie and basically either rapture or the end every fight. Stopped at disk 3 cause real life reasons, but I remember it wasnt too bad given that you don't need to grind random encounters in ff8.

[@meandurphy9366]

I was stunned to hear that after 100's of hours playing ff8 you didn't know limits can appear without critical hp, how had that never happened you before now 😂

[@reloadpsi]

Because arranging to have status afflictions is more effort than just dropping to 0 HP and getting revived. Most people exploiting limits are either using low HP or casting aura, because they're just more convenient. Seeing limits on white HP is just mega rare if you're playing optimally.

[@dvg_sebezara]

I do like carrying on after mandatory fails on these challenges, I think tbh they shouldnt count as a fail if theres literally no way around, getting to and taking down the boss should be the challenge

[@bankenichi]

The new red giant method seems perfectly legit to me, no need to go through the motions.

[@Primalliquid92]

so glad somebody agrees lol

[@CanyonEcco]

first of 20 comments about skipping the zell card

[@reloadpsi]

To be fair it isn't useful in this run.

[@frogboy2002]

I looked through a few comments first, but didn’t see mention of this: It is not a bug getting a limit break to show up when not in yellow health. It’s just a much smaller chance of actually getting a limit break. This even works at full HP. If I had to guess they couldn’t fully disable limit breaks when not in yellow HP or if they did disable limits then Aura might not work. I have not actually looked at the game’s code so take my guess with a grain of salt.

[@pulsefel9210]

was coming to say this too. ive had limit show at full hp with all characters and no aura. threat level is a funky thing where youre never quite sure whats good until low hp and dead party members

[@moopert86]

It's probably the same as Card and Devour success chance. Success rate = ((maxhp-current HP)/max HP)*100 I've never specifically seen it show up at 100% without aura, but i am not sure.

[@scecile7623]

I wasn't expecting this one to be beatable so good job. You could have kept yourself blinded and silenced for more consistently decent limits and to access slots at higher health. If you aren't auto attacking or using magic/draw/gf anyway then they're effectively permanent mini-aura spells.

[@JuliaSin]

Primal?!?! 8 trauma again? This games hurt you so much already. Are you alright❤❤❤❤?

[@Primalliquid92]

no :(

[@JuliaSin]

@@Primalliquid92 im gonna have to buy a other flans hoody to help make ya feel better. Hopefully pay day allows it. Youre a champ for doing this to yourself primal. You need a break.

[@johnnybeard]

Halfway through the video, amazing work as always mate! One question, I know you can't spawn Selphie into the Edea Disc 1 fight but isn't it true you can get all characters KO'd in that battle and the game continues? I'd say that doesn't count as a fail if so!

[@zhaoyun255]

Actually, this is the EASIEST challenge if you play on the PSX hardware. You see, Selphie got ONE NASTY trick on this hardware....OPEN THE DISC TRAY DURING HER LIMIT BREAK AND ROLL THE SLOT. After you are done with your choice of spell, close the disc tray. Enemies WILL NOT ATTACK YOU WHEN THE DISC TRAY IS OPEN!!!!

[@Primalliquid92]

yes, but im not on ps1 hardware lol

[@zhaoyun255]

@@Primalliquid92 Yeah, I know. Just a fun little fact. Even for the PS2, I did the trick with Tales of the Abyss to get Vorpal Sword Early. LOL

[@djmike679]

You could do the same with a regen effect in ff7 fun fact

[@Sweetwaterdream]

Wouldnt be much fun to do this trick as you'd just get The End every time...

[@Oddlot0930]

As long as you prove that you can grind something, you should be able to take a few shortcuts in spirit of us getting more challenges

[@ff10fire666]

I think with how much RNG hates Primal, he shouldn't go anywhere near a casino. I thought my luck in jrpgs was bad.

[@nightmare-cp8th]

YEAH FF8

[@crystalhero]

Yay more primal suffering 🥳🥳. LUL

[@Twilights_Bard]

For me, the Red Giant is fine, as long as you've shown that you can do it, I wouldn't expect a video to waste someone's time doing long ass boring methods just to prove a point. It's like an FFV single job challenge series I'm watching. Guy beat Omniscient with reflect rings on the first vid, said it took a stupidly long time, and basically just lit the asshole on fire as a black mage in all of the other videos. I can live with this.

[@TrueGawa]

The red giant thing is fine, we know it works and can be done. Showing that it can be done yet again would just be time being wasted that could be spend on progress. I'll let it slight.

[@RoboSparkle]

I wouldn't worry about the forced non-Selphie boss fights tbh; most challenge runs or solo character speedrun tables just have the rule that if the character isn't available then the rules don't apply until your character is available again - it's nice to see you able to mod Selphie into the Irfrit fight etc. but I wouldn't worry too much. Tbh if it was my challenge run, I'd have allowed Aura and other party members to attack themselves to raise the threat level!

[@MGPW]

I'm glad you continued through and ignored the mandatory fights where "you can't do it, but it's not because the fight is too hard, it's because the game refuses to include it as an option". I mean, if you stopped there, we wouldn't have had that CBT joke right after! Meanwhile, governments could use this game as an example of the dangers of gambling addiction.

[@vargknight]

So, like many of your challenges, this is just dumb, because if you have to use a mod to do anything then no you can't complete the game that way by very definition of having to use a mod.

[@neroalvarez3718]

This challenge run is just pure rng depression juice.

[@Primalliquid92]

Correct

[@moopert86]

Nice to see you not wasting time killing every other character in battle. It just makes things harder by wasting time and meat shields without really adding anything to me.

[@orangetuxedoman]

I fully approve of your Red Giant choice, you get the necessary tools and save 3 hours is perfect, anyone who wants proof can go see the Magic only run where you did it first and the Summon only run where you proved it's effectiveness.

[@X-atm092]

Hello, next month's sleeping video. Primal's super smooth voice is always welcome in my dreams ; p

[@AshenVictor]

Doing this in the modern era instead of on original hardware where you could open the disc drive and pause the enemy whilst you spammed for The End.... Ultimecia met that cheese more than once. (Literally. You had to hit it with her four times because it just advances her dialogue).

[@queenofdaggerstarot3060]

YESSSSS A NEW FFVIII VIDEO! Truly a king putting yourself through this for us.

[@Anime-Doom]

I get where you're coming from with the teacher fantasy, none of my teachers were even remotely attractive either. If I'd had a teach like Quistis though then maybe I wouldn't have had one of the worst attendance rates on record... That's a lie, I still would skived off more often than not as all of my teachers actively hated me, for reasons beyond my control.

[@Lordswordfish]

New FF8 run, woo hoo!

[@havocdeathgaming2706]

Having you in the background while playing my own game and all of a sudden I hear blue waffle ... I need to join your streams sometime ... always good to watch you videos

[@Neverfate]

Yet another crazy challenge. I swear FF8 is one of my fave games ever and no way I could submit myself to this RNG fest

[@sinjull2256]

Oh about the teachers. There was a discussion at work like 1½ ago where they talked about "teachers you had a crush on" and everyone was sharing then they turned to me as I was all quiet and all I told them was "Imagine someone from the stone age"

[@Strife0471]

Dude. I love your videos ha, the depth of explanation and understanding of all the ins and outs of final fantasy is impressive 👏

[@jblazer9804]

Plenty of hot teachers here in US when I was a kid. And quite a few of my kid's teachers have been hot over years! Hahaha

[@TheParasitick1]

Yeah, i would have been pissed if you stopped the run just because the game had a mandatory event...

[@NightVisionPhantom]

Maybe I misunderstood the bit in the beginning about using the Encounter None ability to skip Laguna's dream sequence. I'd swear I've had that equipped before and still got a dream sequence.

[@Primalliquid92]

you get the dream sequence but get to skip the random encounters

[@dadstruck4293]

I just beat Ultemecia with 4 "The Ends" last weekend. I can't imagine beating the whole game line this.

[@vsolyomi]

Two dead allies affect the crisis level so you get limit chance at higher hp. Aura kinda does the same thing

[@icpooch7959]

It's okay buddy I not able to ever us my gf either since her boyfriend says it breaks the rules of the challenge 😊

[@reloadpsi]

Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes, but please don't try this at home.

[@jogosnoamanhecer]

"Galbadia? Let's give them some freedom!"

[@mT4945]

What is your thoughts about Rinoa = Ultemecia?

[@SpeedMort]

I gotta respect the patience your runs require and your community must continue to pray to rnjesus for your sanity.

[@SilverFang741]

I cannot express how hard I laughed when you pointed out return damage again XD

[@mT4945]

You are suffering for us. Thank you! You deserve likes and a sub!!

[@Dom36prza]

Great game and great content. Any ff randomizers primal/Sam?!

[@roymerkel8008]

at start: but by the fact I've not seen the "Final Fantasy 10 NSGNSNCNONENNENBB" series in a while, it was either not favorably received enough to finish, or it was so dire you were forced to abandon it. Right now I'm guessing the second since all the videos I've seen about it are about how dire it is... If however you are stil going, I'll say one thing: "good luck, and here's to the best! And may Jecht not troll you into oblivion!" Also, I'm going to guess you can do this, but I am not sure what it will take. I'm going to guess levels wont' help much due to the way FFVII works, so I'm guess you'll need to abuse the bleep out of stat junctioning. Either way, we'll see, and I'll reply back to this thread as I go along with my thoughts.

[@Primalliquid92]

will still be going on, i just havnt had the time to record the next part of it with trying to finish off my other in progress works

[@caulbearer_1051]

I would Love to see that final fight in it's entirety 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 Please upload it🙏🏾

[@soli6026]

Shout to NGPlus and there LB only FF8 challenge for this and credit to whoever they sourced but at 10:25 The End appearing depends on what table you land on when using Slots (which moves to the next table whenever it becomes her turn and ofc you can use Slots) I believe it only appears on a total of 4 tables out of a total possible 32 or 64 and those The End tables are only accessible at certain levels.

[@Primalliquid92]

but they havnt done a LB only run for 8?

[@rustedsword3104]

im pretty sure i would go through my entire budget just for smashed controllers

[@nagoyakuroi6353]

Casual 70h to start and play T.T. reminds me of the good old time...

[@xerxiesdaoc]

I love how Primal thinks he still has any sanity remaining by the 4th disk when im pretty sure he lost any sanity he had with his first ever FF how overpowered you can get video. which ironically enough was also an ff8 video

[@Primalliquid92]

Yea we're onto some tough ones which take a little longer

[@pulsefel9210]

its funny seeing aura show up in the slots since you could use that followed by a full cure to have a lot more hp room to continue rolling.

[@Primalliquid92]

the problem with auro especially on the PC version of the game is that it runs out so damn fast

id be tempted to say impossible with no card abuse

[@rpproductions6241]

@Primalliquid92 I'm thinking that may be the case, but maybe not.I suppose it would largely be RNG based and also finding the sweet spot of a level range for Selphie since her slots change according to her level. I might give it a try. But this was a fun and entertaining video regardless!! I don't feel there's enough FF8 challenges. Just wish more didnt rely on card abuse.
