Freya is in my opinion; The best girl of FF9! Her love story with Fratley was more moving than even what I saw Garnet and Zidane go through.

[@danielramsey6141]

Now if only We had More of THAT!!

[@apollolux]

I've played FF9 once, maybe twice, through completely when I was younger and even used the official BradyGames strategy guide to get the Excalibur 2 back then and this video is the first time I have ever seen official art that shows Freya's eyes.

[@TacostandDj]

Freya's legs go all the way up.

[@dr.ratmagius2733]

Angel earrings + Holy lance does some really crazy damage with regular attacks. But seeing Freya jump for joy was a nice treat!

I grew up with these games and your videos are always so cozy and comforting. Definitely my favorite thing to watch when I'm feeling down. Makes me want to replay all these games from my childhood.

Hey great job on this video! I haven’t really watched one of your videos in almost a year and the quality has definitely improved. Your editing, lighting, joke and even your over performing energy is a lot more confidant and authentic. Well done sir!

Thank you!

Another Tantacles banger. Great work as always man.

[@LunalovaniaGaming]

I LOVE that you took this challenge!! Im so excited to watch!! 😊 Love Freya. Some of her dragoon abilities are so OP, and Reis' Wind is SO SO great to have in Gizamalukes grotto, and in alexandria when you go there a second time. 💕🤝✨️

I'm honestly surprised there isn't more Dragon Crest in this playthrough.

[@capncrunch6209]

I misread Freya as Frieza and was very confused for second lol

[@alexandertaylor7316]

Speedrunners have a trick with Necron where they time Freya's jumps to skip neutron ring and grand cross.

[@TheyLoveThemLLC]

I said this on the Discord but it'll be funny here too: Missed opportunity for a House of Mouse joke at 13:05 ;)

[@erikofskullisland3987]

Freya such an amazing character. Her trance staying up in the air and throwing down spears always been incredible to me. Loved seeing that one solo Freya Ozma video, with what must've been 50 Spirit Trance Freya--I wonder if that technically counts as her multi-attack damage-cap breaking attack--though Vivi Dbl Blk and Eiko Dbl Wht and Dagger passive intermittent summons when tranced also can be argued to break damage cap... Always loved the Dragoons and the rat people culture of Burmecia and all the architecture and sculpture they got there and all, and the whole environment. Love Freya's costume (though red and having similar personality to Quistis, but loved Quistis). (I'm sorry, but when Zidane and Freya meet in the bar, did they imply that they--er?-spent the night?) 8:14 Flintstones sound effect got me. I love Freya Holy Lance and Holy atk boosting item (like mythril helm). But Kain's lance, gotta go with the ff4 reference! Necron, I love making him skip Grand Cross by jumping and he has no one to Blue Shockwave.

[@windsweptspy]

I've pretty much watched all of your challenge videos and I think they're great and each one only gets better. You are funny for sure, and I let everyone know that they shouldn't get a boat lol.

[@RoboSparkle]

Loved this video! However, am I crazy or is there not a (somewhat) simple manip you can do with Necron using Freya's Jump to avoid the Grand Cross turns, meaning you should only get Blue Shockwave, which can't kill you? Might have made that last fight a bit easier but seems like you got through easily enough without. Great stuff :)

[@Galaxyhoppah]

16:07 they hate you too

[@ogre589]

I'm just gonna take a guess and say you willingly chose not to use the very powerful dragon attack because it would trivialize the challenge...right?

[@davinclark9736]

I was super triggered by your pronunciation of 'Lich' but then I realized it was on purpose. 10/10.

[@mooredmon7898]

I was kind of expecting you to mention Freya's potentially strongest attack, Dragon's Crest. It gets stronger based on how many dragons you've killed in the playthrough, so I remember getting it to the point of always hitting the damage cap. I do understand your choice not to use it though, since it takes a while to farm dragons.

[@tantacles]

I try not to use the really overpowered stuff excessively because as you mentioned: 1. It takes a long time to farm and 2. It's a lot more interesting if they don't even need those overpowered abilities in the first place.

[@stevesamuals2651]

This series is going to be interesting once we get to quina. Solo blue mage runs are always fascinating to see

[@tantacles]

The run is done and the script written! Glad you’re on board for that run.

[@Crispy_Sprite1]

You look like Adam Sandler and Nicholas Cage had a very fierce lovechild

[@jhosioja]

Aww. I was hoping you'd do the speedrun strat on Necron. If you kill other party members, it goes into a loop of blue shockwaves and grand cross, but if you time the jump right, it skips grand cross, at least once. Speedrun the uses her and Steiner to finish it off so i don't know if you can skip it again

[@dayphaser]

I was gping to comment and blast you for saying stuff wrong and then I realized no one calls a pheonix pinion a phoenix pinuyay... So I realized u were doing it on purpose. And im not mad now. Good day and great video. Lol

[@kuponutter]

Yo, this was a sick run! Congrats! Just a heads up for Trance Kuja in future runs, Flare Star's damage is FIXED and ignores Magic Def, and is equal to the character's level x 35 (I think?) in Memoria, so getting more HP was definitely the right move there!
