Beating FF3's "unwinnable" Bahamut battle is worse than pointless. It actually PUNISHES you, as he won't show up in his lair later on. That means you can't get his summon spell for free, and you have to make it to the hidden magic shop in Eureka to buy it there.

When I played the PC version of FFVIII, my disc 1 was scratched and would always freeze up during the cutscene where Quistis guns down the X-ATM092. So I dedicated myself to beating it, by playing a lot of triple triad in the early game to junction Tornado (from Abyss worm cards) to Squall's Strength and Thundaga (from Blitz cards) to elemental attack. This allowed Squall to deal thousands of damage with each hit and quickly deplete the boss's HP multiple times in one fight. It was only later that I found out I could have also avoided the Quistis cutscene by hiding in cafe, but at least I had an overpowered Squall for the rest of the disk!

Slight offtopic, but when I was a kid my older brother and I rented the PSX version of FF VIII and this exact problem happened at the start of disc 2, when the prison started to rise. There was no way to skip that cutscene that we knew of... We had to wait until we could buy an original copy.

@@ppmguire It's way faster and more efficient to just Refine cards, drawing spells from enemies it's more of a clutch than the main method, FF VIII would probably have a better reputation if they pushed the Refine system more than the Draw on field. As the OP said, you could just refine abyss and junction that to ATK to break the game, and you can do that before Ifrit in a number of ways, it takes slight less than an hour to unlock everything necessary.

Unless you really want to grind like hell for the item drips or use the tonberry money trick, so you can get max stats, it's best to wait until getting all the ___ lvl up options before grinding up so your stats actually level up near the same as them and actually be at their level

Baaj temple ffx, the Zartinan caverns ffxii, the crashed sub ffvii. It could be a fun list. FFXII has a bit of a weird one in the fact that a lot of the locations you got to has optional returns or are prompted by the hunt system but FFX could fill up a list on its own probably with the two we mentioned, Reminum temple, temple of the lost faith, the cactura village and probably more I can't recall at this time.

I like places that expand the story/world building and also give a nice benefit for the player. FF 1-6 either don't remember or haven't played. FF7 would probably be Wutai, I have to imagine. Important to the world-building and gives a character, but you might never even enter it if you aren't exploring iirc. As far as I remember, while you're told Wutai exists and maybe its general area, you'd have to find it and nothing tells you to go there? FF8 I honestly don't remember the game enough for this. FF9 - Confession... I've never gotten past disc 1... FFX I'd actually do the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth. You have to stumble upon it, and it's really cool in a bunch of ways. The crusader training ground just outside it, which is fun world building. The story for Lulu. The story for the Fayth. Yojimbo and having to hire him. Etc. As far as I can remember, nothing in the game ever directs you down there. Second to that, I would do Remiem Temple. But the story around Belgamine isn't as compelling as the one for Lulu. And the Magus sisters are cool, but Yojimbo is awesome (and can one-shot some of the hardest bosses in the game). Also, if the theme is exploration, you do get told that Remiem temple is nearby iirc, where the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth is pure exploration. FF11 - Actually most of the game would qualify for this, since it wasn't a directive game. MOST things were found through player exploration and experimentation, including unlocks for all of the jobs. Plus the prime summon enemies, I think? Etc. FF12 has a bunch of optional areas. So maybe the Necrohol of Nabudis. Very nice world building in that, and in the original it was where the Zodiac Spear was, and it's where an Esper is. But I think hunts will send you there, so depends on our classification on what directs players. FF13 has two optional areas you'd find from exploration, though you'd be led there by hunts. So same general issue as before. FF14 - nothing I can think of that really qualifies outside of just being fun world-building environments. I can't think of anything I'd really qualify, especially since quests get put on the minimap. But maybe Eureka would sorta qualify though, since you have to learn by doing/exploring in Eureka if you don't use a guide. You'd be directed to go to Eureka Anemos though. But without a guide you'd have to discover by trial/error/exploration what you need to progress further. But you are told that there's future stuff/goals, so I dunno that I'd really include this. FF15 - 95% of the game is optional, including most of the tombs, so IDK what to do with that. FF16 - I'm only 85% through it, so I dunno what comes later, but nothing really comes to mind. I enjoy exploring the maps for some world building and such, but I don't think I've really found anything "secret" that I wasn't sent to by a hunt. Or, maybe another way to put it, I've found some hidden gems that I ASSUME will be locations for future hunts because there's nothing to do there. There's a mansion in the woods near the prison fort place, for instance.

A great example of this is in ChronoTrigger where you can beat Lavos at times and places where you normally aren't supposed to, with special endings to go with each. You can, for example, use the gate in the bucket to defeat Lavos as soon as you get to the end of time, without ever dealing with Magus, meeting Ayla, or assembling the masamune for Frog. New Game+ makes this one trivially easy. Less well known is that you can defeat Lavos during the Ocean Palace disaster. It's probably the toughest time to fight Lavos, but there's a cool ending if you do it.

In FFIX its possible to farm grand dragons at the exit of Gizamaluke's Grotto just after obtaining Quina, and level well beyond the usual for disc1. I remember getting to around level 65 before I had to stop due to running out of phoenix downs/tents. The trick is to let Freya win the Festival of the Hunt to get a coral ring, which gives one of your party members immunity to thundaga (which would otherwise wipe your entire party). Grand Dragon's other attacks are completely manageable, and it's possible to deal massive damage to it too.

Based on difficulty I'd say the first Demon Wall in FFXII is much harder than Ba'gamnan's crew, given the very short time limit, Telega removing one party member from the fight, and it silencing/sleeping/blinding the party constantly, so you kinda have to be "overpowered" to punch through all that fast enough. Ba'gamnan's crew are pretty straightforward to fight, and can be silenced to prevent many of their abilities.

An honorable mention should be the shell part of the Whelk/Ymir 1st boss in Final Fantasy 6. You're only supposed to attack the head to defeat it, and if you attack the shell, it deals a nasty electrical counterattack. However, after a while it runs out of MP to cast it, and with unlimited healing from your Magitek Armor, you can use TekMissile with Terra and the different beams with Biggs/Wedge. You only get a pitiful tincture/ether for your efforts, but it's technically possible.

Its such a totally different style of game when it comes to "how to get strong". I feel like it overcomplicated things which introduced all these ways to break it. But boy was I salty as a long time ff gamer to learn that grinding to 100 is NOT, in fact, the best way to get uber powerful. Every one of these games back then was built with areas you could go to quickly farm a huge level boost or max them out. The dino head shaped forest in 6, that plain above the grotto in 9, there were tons of them, some more secret than others. 8 had iirc, the island closest to heaven/hell with one being high exp the other being high ap. Its been so long since I played I may be wrong.

​@@chrishubbard64You are correct. I think that FF8 intentionally focused on GFs and magic to distribute the party "levelling" so that the game was paced differently and that it mitigated power levelling. This was done at the risk of obfuscating the process of strengthening your characters though, I guess. Also FF8 has vysage farming just outside of Timber in Lallapalooza Canyon, in a corner of the valley in the mountain range, that comes up much earlier in the game so it's more like FF9's plateau at the top of Gizamaluke's Grotto where you can farm grand dragons and garudas, although vysage farming for levelling isn't as popular or as well known.

You need to incap him, then remove his hp while downed so he instant repairs without a timer, then incap him once more and run away. That rewards you with 50 AP and you can fight him again. If you kill him, it gives you one of 4 random items, from which only 1 is really useful as i believe it's the only way to get Rinoa's ultimate weapon in disc 1.

Unwinnable fights suck, but it is cool if the dev throws in a lil bonus if you happen to beat insurmountable odds. So there's this Playstation 1 game called Breath of Fire 3, fantastic jrpg by Capcom. At the end of the first Act there is an unwinnable boss battle against two recurring enemies called Bailo & Sunder. It is literally coded into the game that they have unlimited health, people have tried hex editors like Gameshark and whatever else to no avail. I remember one dude left his console on for like 2-3 weeks on auto battle (with GS cheats on his team), now that's some commitment. The problem is that the official guidebook states you can beat this boss, which then spawned this forum movement trying to get to the bottom of it. There was an extensive deep dive into the game mechanics all the way back in the early 00s. Today that translates into people making difficulty patches and edits and whatever else for it.

So in order to a 3rd PARTY member to NEVER fail to Draw Flare/Holy off of it you actually HAD to use the Force Armlet IT may drop since the 40% Magic effect WOULD be required to have all 3 party members drain Flare/Holy off of it while NOT having the Draw command FAIL to work against it.

Midgar Zolom in FF7 is very satisfying to beat if you can level the materia enough to protect you from Beta. Elemental materia paired with Fire gives decent protection if HP is high enough and there is a way to predict when Beta is coming. If you can survive the fight and get Beta as an enemy skill, the entire rest of Disc 1 becomes a cake walk, since Beta is such a powerful magic attack.

FF12 had a giant t-rex that would randomly spawn DEEP in the dalmascan sands for the early game (can't remember if it was east or westersea). If you traded for max hi-potions (i think they were a rank2... thieves or mercenaries guild unlock), and grinded enough to max out your Stat license board (the one with the extra gambit slot unlocks) for your party... you could tank enough damage to hi-potion spam heal your party until you defeat the (Tyrant... Tyrannosaurus???) Big Fella. You were supposed to get a trophy for defeating it, but I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to beat it when the game has just technically opened up that area to you, because the game SAID that I received its trophy... but it never showed up in my room. I was a little bit devastated. My only consolation was the fact that everybody I could party with was a stone cold UNIT for the rest of the game (until my PS2s optical drive gave out😂).

Bravely Default 2 spoilers: My favorite "you're supposed to lose"-bossfight is at the beginning of Bravely Default 2. Because that fight is only winnable (to my knowledge), if you grind for quite a long time, take down some optional side bosses for their equipment that are also normally way too strong if you encounter them at this point, and then figure out on how to take down the boss there Spoilers for what happens when you defeat him: Not a whole lot happens - but the game acknowledges your victory and tells you "The story can not continue with this outcome". It just strikes me as a surprisingly elegant way of acknowledging the players victory, while not investing too much development/story shenanigans to make the story continue anyways

For some reason, I have a soft spot for the Midgard Zolom from Final Fantasy VII. I was in Uni when a friend of mine showed me how he had done it the very first time he had come across the formidable snake, not having realised that he was meant to avoid this battle: first, he managed to poison the Zolom, which is hardly a feat unto itself, but made less useful in the face of the spell Beta, which the Zolom is wont to use when its HP drops below a certain percent, and the Zolom's ability to eject party members from the battle. Granted, it took a bit of luck, but he managed to keep Aerith in the battle, and her max HP was just so that he could reliably depend on Healing Wind to keep his party alive in between Beta strikes, while poison ate away at the Zolom's HP until it was dead. Nevertheless, once the party reaches the Mythril Mines, irrespective of whether or not they killed the Zolom, they're treated to the grizzly spectacle of the Zolom impaled on a tree, and comment on how powerful Sephiroth must be to have killed it.

In FFVIII, you can actually exploit a bug with X-ATM092 to get 60AP every fight. Go into the Dollet mission with 100 Tornadoes junctioned to squall's strength (from card-modding Lv.3 Abyss Worm cards into Windmills, and then using T-Mag Ref on them), and also learn and equip Ifrit's Str+10% and Str+20% to Squall as well. You can then use Renzokuken to deplete X-ATM092's HP entirely in one move, which the game reads as "killing" it (although it actually survives). You'll know it's worked if X-ATM instantly switches to its collapse animation, and then immediately gets back up. Then, do enough damage to it to make it collapse down normally (with regular attacks or magic), and then run away like you normally would. You'll get 60AP every time you do this. Sadly, you don't get the awesome +40% items every time, though. You can't do this completely unlimitedly because of the timer, and because every time you defeat it and run away, it moves along the map a little. However, you can do it enough times to virtually fill out the abilities list of all GFs between Quezacotl and Siren.

Here’s one from a non-FF game (but still a Square property): the Alpha Weltall fight in Xenogears. The fight is a plot-driven “supposed to lose” fight where the boss does damage cap with every attack. And he has the most HP of any enemy in the game at a point before you have access to the endgame equipment. However, it is possible to beat him if you use a specific strategy. Bring Bart to the fight and equip him with the ether-sealing whip that disables enemy ether engines. Use Wild Smile to reduce Alpha Weltall’s accuracy to almost zero, inflict the ether seal status, and pray that your luck holds out until he goes down. Your reward? The second-best armor for pure defense in the game… at a point where there’s only one more (optional) on foot dungeon where you would use it.

He scales to your level so grinding doesn't really 'work' though you will probably still want to do some of that. The best method is to activate Talents on Claude for hundreds of free Skill points, then you can unlock certain Battle Skills (I forget which) to help give you a tiny chance of actually hitting him, then spam Head Splitter during the battle and hope to get a hit in to defeat him. His actual HP is low, he just blocks basically everything. It is awesome that you can do it, but the 'reward' is a short cutscene where the two talk a little smack and the battle restarts. I do wish there ended up being some way to 'beat' him, I know it's lore-accurate that Dias is the superior swordsman but the actual tournament win is basically never mentioned after that event, especially when (spoilers removed) starts going down. They could've just given it to ya.

At lv 100 I still had Head Splitter do 0 damage on earth mode While Dias can still hit HIM for like 3000+ damage PER hiit and still kill Claude in only 3 hits the R version has a NG+ mode too bad even AT lv 255 Claude will still likely hit Dias for no damage MOST of the time. In 2nd Story R/2nd Evolution version theirs a Claude VS Dias PA in Fun City Rena game only that's basically a WINNABLE rematch of the arena battle Dias for that PA end game you can Bloody armor Claude so that he will never die but like the must LOSE Dias battle you can't actually control Claude for the Fun City Rena game PA its a AI only fight one where at lv 255 on Earth mode Dias can still HIT him for 9999 damage WITHOUT a bloody armor/helm to make the damage be zero.

I always knew the FF6 glitch as the Vanish/X-Zone. Didn't know _all_ instant-loss spells worked. Also, the way you pronounce Behemoth makes me want to Van-Ban my brain

As a classic gamer I thought all these bosses were just supposed to be beat so I dealt with them. Had a lot of deaths but still less deaths than on a pvp game like Tarkov or a pve game like Elden Ring. They make games too easy anymore. Especially MMOs. Thankfully there's still some games that put my gamer ego in it's place. One boss that's a non FF boss that was my favorite 'you weren't supposed to kill' and I didn't know... I reloaded my save like 70 times, and yeah I DID get the sense I probably was supposed to run from Nemesis on first encounter on fresh Resident Evil 3 save. I had a knife and I just got good at dodging and I knifed that fucker down and it gave me some rare gun part. Later on after I had beat the game I looked up a guide for my second playthrough and it suggested just running from it lol. Yeah I don't run. That's not in my vocabulary. That's why 'Outlast' isn't a game, it's a wuss simulator in how you can be worthless and hide and never confront your problems.

In my encounter with Bagaman I got the gold armor drop from a rare monster in the mine and way late into the encounter realized that they were doing 0 damage to Vaan. 😆

I clicked on this expecting the Guardian boss from 6, the one you're supposed to run away from, until near the end of the game when it does become beatable. But I guess those earlier encounters truly are unwinnable. "Won't let you pass!!"

I leave the Black Widow alive, I hate missing out on Quistis on the gun.

Theres also Ushumgal Subjugator an "unwinnable" Chapter 7 boss from FFXIII. It's expected for Hope to lose the stand-off until Fang and Lightning come to the rescue. But with the right equipment, and proper shifting Hope can actually solo the boss, and Fang will come in and praise you. Regardless, the game forces the fight into phase 2 when they show up.

Beating the Robospider with Quetzacotl is relatively trivial, and can be done with minimal planning.

Not me obtaining 3 Seitengrats (Once you manage to get the first one via RNG manipulation you learn it is fairly easy, just takes some time) and farming Dustia for the sole mission of Wiping the Floor with the Bangaa Squad. Always hated those guys. I adore Migelo tho, he is a good Bangaa.

I didn’t know about Black Widow until a few years ago. I actually managed to beat it fairly easily (because it’s FF8) and it felt beyond weird to not only miss out on the cool FMV, but to take down an enemy I went my entire life assuming was unbeatable. I definitely wish more games did this and had actual rewards for doing so. Closest I can think of is being able to fight Lavos at any time in the game Chrono Trigger, which did offer multiple endings based on when you defeated it.
