Safer Sephiroth's HP increases based on your actions against Jenova Synthesis and Bizarro Sephiroth. Each character at level 99 adds 30k HP and a handful of other stat upgrades to Safer, casting Knights of the Round on Jenova adds 80k HP, and killing Bizarro's head adds 100 HP each time up to a max of 24,900. You should've only had the base of 80k plus however many times you killed Bizarro's head.

So no vendors, no buying items (or buying materia, self-found materia only), no changing gear or weapons (init equip only), no using items (W-item is the only banned materia), no Attack command, no limit breaks etc. I only just got out of midgar but damn, doing runs like these are fun. You have to change your entire outlook on the game. Elemental materia is useful. You realise "oh.. this means barret, tifa, and aerith only have ONE materia they can equip... bugger...". Honestly, having a blast with it so far. So, thanks for being a large/partial inspiration for this :) !

Damn, that sounds like a sick run. I got that Final Fantasy VII itch myself, kinda wanting a replay, maybe I'll have to lift your challenge idea for a fun casual replay!

It genuinely does change how you think about games, and things you'd previously ignore as they were sub-optimal are now the only reason you're making progress. Takes me back to all the times I said something about sub-optimal progression methods in games being unnecessary or bloat that nobody would use. What a fool I was.
@michelvanderlinden83633 ай бұрын
@@Caspicum Currently, the game is kind of on easy mode still. Midgar (Air Buster boss) was a bit of a challenge due to his damage output and your party's lack of MP, so the answer there was grinding in the train station (because there's a resting place in the slums). After that the main issue is having 3 party members with only 1 materia slot (aerith, tifa, barret), which limits everything. But, it's still doable. When Red joins, it's a free for all. Currently I just finished Corel Prison, with Dyne there posing as a minor challenge. I say minor because Enemy Skill materia exists and Beta is actually doable to get at level 17-19 for Red. So thats out of the way. Slowly but surely, Im starting to see difficulty rising a little bit though. Cloud is now a liability (worst armor and only 2 materia slots), and status effects are hitting more and more often. So Im curious how this will be going :D
@michelvanderlinden83633 ай бұрын
@@Caspicum Well, I just finished the game with the following rules: - no "attack" command (2x cut isnt allowed, attack-All is allowed with the Mega-All) - no items allowed (not outside of battle either) -Throw materia IS allowed - no limit breaks - any action as a result of materia is allowed (added cut, Deathblow, counterattack etc) - No vendors allowed - self found materia only (no store bought materia) -Initial equip only, weapon and armor -no accessories -Resting at inns or healing areas is allowed. With only a few hiccups the game was surprisingly easy. Enemy Skill materia is absolutely a must though. Eventually enemies gain so much HP/Magic Res that you need to use Magic Hammer frequently. I only had 3 wipes I think, 1 to Marlboro, 1 to Carry armor (almost instant party wipe on his opening round), and I forgot the last one. You do need to plan ahead on a lot of enemies though. Elemental and Added Effect really become invaluable right away. The game does become progressively easier when you leave Midgar though. And Cid is the absolute MVP.

Wow I cant believe you slogged through that. Kudos. Safer sephiroth I think must be a translatory mistake. The kabbalah stuff details Seifer sephiroth (like the guy from 8) and in japanese the sound over the phone for a localisation guy would most likely be safer. Poor guys, pre google! Genuinely impressed with your determination and fortitude. Even taking on the limey! Can't believe I got sucked into this and just had to watch til the end, screw sleeping. Cheers for making

Legit, I saw this comment and was like "Who is sticking around to the end of this garbage?" but I loaded the video and watched the whole thing myself. Feels like I hit a very specific forward motion where the video keeps going. I gotta remember that for future videos!!! Also the Seifer Sephiroth thing makes sense to me, that guy's anything but safe.

As far as I am concerned tutorials do NOT count since most of them cannot ever be skipped nor allow item based combat. So if it's forced I would just omit it unless it's possible to skip it, which is not common at the start of a game later on it's hit and miss. But anyways as far as challenge runs go if it's not skippable and forced just ignore that when you're trying to do a challenge that's pretty standard thing to do.

I think the only place you can get bombs is at Seaside Town before you defeat Yaridovich and by trading items in Moleville. Rock Candies are pretty rare and the Star Egg is piddly damage really late in the game. Plus your inventory only has like 20 slots. I doubt it's doable.

Challange Idea: Counter Challange. Rules. 0. May use Postscriptthree's Tweaks mod for Multi-Slots. or not for More of a Challange... 1.Using only Counter, Counter Attack and Magic Counter Paired with Materia of choice (Start with 1 of each Counter Materia-Counter Attack-Magic Counter + 1 Sneak Attack All Max AP ) No other starting Materia Except for what the game gives you at the start. 2. No Items In/Out of Battle.. Tents can be used at Save Points 3. No Shops 4. No W-Materia 5. No selecting From Commands During Battle. 6. No Summons (Phoenix Summon is the 1 exception) I came up with this idea myself and have been enjoying it quite a bit

You can use Dazers on Ruby Weapon to inflict stop on him, as he has no resistance to Stop for some reason although you'd run out long before you would ever inflict enough damage. However if you aren't above W-Item Cheating like you said, you could probably win after days worth of an attempt. Also Hero Drinks boost your stats in battle, and will stack, so W-Item Glitched Hero Drinks may help with survivability, although I don't know if they boost Magic Item Damage at all. (Sidenote the Sadness Effect on top of lowering Limit Break accumulation, actually increases your defense as well by 25%, so Tranquilizers are great for that) However, if you were able to beat Ruby Weapon without W-Item, you can trade in the Desert Rose he drops to a guy in Kalm for a Gold Chocobo, which means you could get a Chocobo without even equipping the Chocobo Lure and can Chocobo Race for Hero Drinks if you really hate yourself. (Although Chocobo Lure was already used earlier so moot point I suppose?) Really enjoy seeing these item only runs, the tenacity is remarkable
@Caspicum Жыл бұрын
I'm lucky that I never needed the Hero Drinks, but I feel like I was so close to beating Emerald, and those hero drinks would've carried me through. I was also level 60 or something, so there was a good 40 levels of stats left over were I insane enough to tackle Ruby with W-item glitching. In my vanilla Ruby attempt, I did legitimately farm about 13 Dazers, before I found out that I can do, at most, 189 (i think) damage, and that kinda put the idea from my mind. With W-item, i think they're probably both doable, but I lack that knowledge.
@veghesther3204 Жыл бұрын
That doesn't help even with 4 hero's used on a lv 65 Cloud to have all 13 Knights do 9999 damage I still barely had Omnislash top even 2000 per hit to ruby weapon but ALL attack items are kind of useless against BOTH weapon bosses even with the PS4 remasters Infinite HP cheat used against BOTH of them.

At 9:00 the way to beat the mini game is to do the opposite of what you’re told and run straight down in front of the soldiers until you’re in position. Don’t worry about going around behind. Then just repeatedly tap to shoulder your rifle. The next mini game, the HP Plus for second (

Also, at 27:45, the Fort Condor mini game can be won quickly and cheaply by placing a single attacker as far down as possible and immediately marching it all the way down. Then place units that are strong against enemy units and destroy them before more spawn and you win.

I feel like these challange runs should still count even if you have to fight in the tutorial cause you are forced to, a lot of these kinds of challange runs are like "no you can't beat a game in this way cause you have to do this thing that is mandatory" and to me the mandatory thing doesn't count
