Fun fact! nobody has guessed the correct time i dropped and repicked up the challenge yet! will you get it right?

[@Tootbook]

All Iknow is Barret is named twitter and it made me think of black twitter and I started laughing

[@lycaneater]

You dropped at carry armor

[@___Zack___]

*at least. Not "atleast". But otherwise, sweet content

[@ExodusCore]

Of course you can. Thing is, I never use healing items in RPGs myself. Why use items that cost GP when you can simply use healing magic or a healing skill... That or simply heal at one of the free healing/save points. In games where there is free healing, why waste money on inns? Anyway, in FF7, always having played this way I didn't use materia because since I was lazy I found it to cumbersome to learn... and I didn't want to use items because their healing properties sucked and cost money. So instead I grinded in the game and used inns to heal myself. It was only when I was about to face off against the last Dungeons that became interested in the materia since it seemed interesting... but by then there was no point in learning how it worked since the game was almost over and I didn't need it in order to win. So it was only after I had beaten the game and I started playing it to find all hidden secrets I had missed that I started using materia.

[@ExodusCore]

It is sad how the remakes were so badly handled. Why do so many game developers think it is a good idea to remove and change so many things in classic games that people wanted remakes of? The people that wanted the remake did NOT want a new changed game! They just wanted the old game but with better graphics and maybe some extra new bonus dungeons that didn't affect the actual game story. Like Ruby Weapon but more hidden and 100x more difficult to beat. But instead they give us crap nobody asked for.

[@HiroHideki]

If you name Aerith GONNA DIE then when you meet Hojo in Costa Del Sol then when he forgets her name she'll yell "I'm GONNA DIE, the least you can do is remember my name." which I find to be hilarious personally. I originally did this on my second play through because I was bitter about it, then that made it amazing to me. XD

[@michaelhanson5773]

Man... How dare you spoil a game from decades ago a year ago... Geesh... Lol Also, if you even watch this video, primal even covers this part of the story so really there are no spoilers here. Not sure if some of these comments are a joke or not, but it is really hard to claim something from over 20 years ago as a spoiler at this point...

[@sefrinmaulana9155]

@@michaelhanson5773 believe me though. Even if the game is over 20 years old a spoiler is still spoiler. I just played it for the first time, and the spoilers made me feel nothing when she died. The spoiler ruined the game for me.

I love it how in the 3rd act you stopped calling your characters Subscribe, Twitter and Flatty, casually switching to their default names.

Did you know that there is a 2nd Ribbon you can get without Morph? One of the bright blue ice caves has a hidden path if you try walking downwards. Yes yes.

So this is essentially an attack only run without any buffing materia. Whew that's rough. Awesome run!

[@clerpington_the_fifth]

Pray for those lucky crits! lol (and without luck materia - but yes luck sources since they're out of battle items)

[@milktobo7418]

I like to play FF games as primarily attack only - but no buffs - ugh

[@Skyfighter64]

Biggest error I saw during the assault on Shinra arc, is that once you reach Wall Market, you can buy Hypers, allowing you to put I DIE D: in a fury status (usable out of battle and is persistent unless cured), which would have made the tower easier, because. Her limits would charge almost twice as fast.

[@nekogod]

When I did this I grinded out to level 30 odd on cloud and barret in the reactor as you get enough potions to heal them outside battle endlessly (you can get to lvl 99 if you're masochist enough) this set me up for the rest of the game

[@appledroplarry]

All you need is Tifa, curse ring, and powersoul weapon.

[@appledroplarry]

@Vegesther sure. Knights of the round takes a long time.

[@pantarhei8457]

@Vegesther Jesus you're like a broken record.

I can't think of a single encounter where Mindblow is useful

[@clerpington_the_fifth]

I think square was trying to be ironic with the naming of that limit (mindblowingly useless)

[@shnobby3547]

NGPlus just did a Limits Only run and he actually needed Mindblow to prevent Rapps from using Aero3. I was amazed, but it did in fact have a critical use.

Fun fact: You can make it across the swamp without doing the save and reload glitch. You just have to time it perfectly. The snake needs to start a rebound it the opposite direction of you. If done correctly you will make it across with .2 seconds to spare.

[@thelastfantasy]

I did this unknowingly the first time I played lol

[@AdventCloudStrife]

I’m confused. At the Specimen boss fight in Shinra, grinding should’ve been free; you can fight enemies on the model Midgar floor, and the gym floor should have a free inn unless I’m misremembering.

[@dregoth22]

It has a save point and free inn/rest area in the gym.

[@BBee13]

[@mysticfeal]

And people say modern Final Fantasy games are just "press square" and the older ones require strategy LOL

[@They_are_Arthur]

Final Fantasy VII is the only one that's this easy. VI and VIII undeniably require a bit more strategy and planning. And even then, this no materia no items run was a severe handicap that caused a lot of game overs that wouldn't happen if you use materia or items. VII suffers from being too easy at times but it's not completely mindless.

[@mikewehr7887]

I’m guessing yes because you can be in fury heal with yuffie use omnislash and anger max and high wind and equip things like sprint shoes those barriers and ribbons on top of being able to equip things like tifa with the power soul and the cursed ring on top of being able to grind sources to just dodge every attack with speed and luck ... now I wanna do this run myself lol

[@nmn5550]

My late dad, who played FF7 for many years on and off, like 20 yrs or something, would play no materia runs, or speedruns, to make the game more interesting. Sadly we don't have any recorded footage of it. No materia is possible, but requires lotsa EXP grinding and items farming - monsters at the Wutai continent drop a helluva lot X-Potion and Bolt Plumes and Fire Veils for instance. Plus, with no materia you can equip no slot weapons found at the Temple of Ancients, which are considerably strong. Try the no materia run for size! One thing to remember is to take Barret, Yuffie or Vincent, since they got long range weapons and some enemies, like Ultima Weapon, can only be damaged by such.

[@cedric7751]

There are a few weapons in the game that could have helped tremendously. Powersoul/master fist + cursed ring on Tifa is a low level/ speedrun stapple, with her lvl4 limit you one shot most bosses even at low level. And then you have the weapons where your attack is doubled or tripled when you have respectively 1 or 2 characters dead. The yoshiyuki for cloud and the princess guard for Aerith. Did you equip the missing score on Barret at the end? That the only explanation for the low damage since the missing score's attack power depend on the exp of the equipped materias. No materia on the weapon and armor = 1 atk. The damage formula uses the character level twice as a multiplier so going from lvl 70 to 90 increases the damage by 65% (actually more than that since strength also increases when you level up).

[@Primalliquid92]

i just didnt want to cheese with tifa so i didnt go for that route, as for missing score, yes i had it on and the reason for that is the damage calculation for AP is scuffed (or just flat out ignored) for limit breaks, and i had planned to rely on them for the damage so i decided to keep it on since the damage increase over his 2nd best was still pretty major when using limits

[@veghesther3204]

I didn't even after the Power Soul/Master fist + cursed ring with a LV 65 Tifa even do 3000 per hit while still having HER use Knights of the round for 5000 to 6000 x13 hits.
