Can You Beat Final Fantasy 9 WITHOUT ANY HEALING

[@tantacles]

I support your wish to buy a boat as long as I'm allowed to come aboard because the best kind of boat is somebody else's boat.

[@sirloinestakegames7866]

What if the boat is a one man raft?

[@atraxian5881]

We are all in the same boat and luckily it's not ours.

New ff9 video from any content creator, I'm watching. Ty for making new videos of my favorite final fantasy

[@Primalliquid92]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@yeighseph1976]

I wonder if that excuse will hold up in court: "Yes your honor, I know it looks bad, but she asked for it"

[@Primalliquid92]

thats a very real way of looking at it lol

[@bcb559]

Yo, good job, primal. This was one hell of a run. I never knew kuja's dmg was based off party lvl. I love watching these. I always learn something new about these great games.

[@Primalliquid92]

flare star is yea, each of kuja's forms has a different version of it aswell, same with ozma having a 3rd unique version

[@PBurn88]

1:16:47 The Accuracy+ passive completely removes the hit-chance calculation and guarantees every attack lands, so once you have that, for only 2 magic stones you never need to worry about missing again, even with Darkness. Bright Eyes becomes a waste of stones at that point.

[@Primalliquid92]

sadly just didnt have the stones for it

[@Despicablehobbit]

Ironically, you can't get encounters in the world map with the "Mist Continent" text on screen, so the run to ice cavern is the one bit you don't need to stutter step on 😅

[@metalgremlin0]

Loved the video. I enjoy those long formats. Your commentaries feels less rushed.

[@remzzo]

You have really deserved a comment and a like for being absolutely batshit insane (in the best way possible). The torture you endure for us is unreal

[@staposian]

Glad you did this, I thought about trying to do 9 damageless and just seemed like a logistical nightmare so happy that the spirit is alive with this run!

[@Primalliquid92]

yea i thought about damageless at first but realised it would take so much grinding early on that we'd basicly be 99 before the end of disc 1 and still fail because of beatrix

[@staposian]

@@Primalliquid92 Yeah honestly I was struggling to figure out black waltz 1 without an excessive amount of grinding. Would Beatrix be possible with a powered up frog drop or am I getting that wrong?

[@DamonCarter-i5p]

@@staposian I always thought her attack was an unavoidable damage kind of thing.

[@staposian]

@@DamonCarter-i5p You're absolutely right. I was thinking you could get around this by already being at 1hp going into the fight, but that would require taking damage somewhere else so wouldn't work. Brain fart by me

[@PiePie453]

You do good work man, I wish the world recognized these things more.

[@DrDirtyNoGood]

Hell yeah Primal!!! Putting another one in the books! That was wild!

[@RasenganNaruto1234]

Man you put so much effort in these so thank you for doing so. Keeps me entertained for quite some day. But I'm 100% sure these things aren't my cup of tea. I already struggle simply finishing games, because I get easily distracted by other games from my pile of shame 🤣

[@XionSteel]

I do love the steal mechanic in ff9, it's just so rewarding compared to other games that really only give you junk items. All in all its just a slight bump increase for a weapon or armor that you can buy in the immediate area after the next but it's a nice way to get a power boost to make the next boss fight easy.

[@Billie839]

I love your videos all of them are a good watch when going to sleep and just vegging out!!

[@NGLoki1223]

Early boost! Love your videos dude, been watching for a while and this is the earliest I've ever been

[@Primalliquid92]

thanks buddy appreciate it!

[@flareinc7413]

Such an epic run!! You are legendary!

[@charlesmaillho367]

Can you do a challenge run featuring dragon quest 8? I don't know if it's even possible but I would definitely enjoy that just as much as I enjoyed this! It took me three separate days but I did watch the entire video! Loved it Primal!

[@stephendavey9924]

Your commitment is remarkable. Props my dude x

[@TheOneTwoThree]

Love the Challenge videos sir!

[@rachelllancaster9716]

Your videos always impress!

[@ToniBingi]

There's a little trick you can do with the frogs - if you always leave 3 frogs, the chances of them all being the same gender are very low. This way you don't have to waste time checking the gender of every frog.

[@ekroizm]

Why would you check the gender? You can clearly see the gender by the stripe. Female frogs have a black stripe running the length of their bodies, which males lack. Females also have red feet while males have yellow.

[@RubbleRamp]

The commentary was perfect. Love the game and the channel.

[@SaveriaLP]

Great Video and congratz For other challenge ideas maybe Dragon Quest VIII or XI without healing. A Persona game without healing or something with FF12 The zodiac age

[@daben7145]

love FF9 content

[@Primalliquid92]

enjoy

Shoutout for the long vid, helped me stay awake while I was on 24 hour duty 🙌.

[@damte131]

geez i love this game and grind the helll out of it but you are the true god here respect

[@yunafinder4824]

Every time I see FF9 in english I'm happy that Garnets name after the Ice cavern is different in german. There she is called Lili instead of Dagger which is a way better name imo

[@CloudMaci]

Never expected Necron to be the seemingly easier part 😮 When I saw the remaining video time at Kuja, I expected the run to end. Greatly done, though, Primal!

[@joshuabryant8207]

The rng gods felt bad for you. They thought you might be a new player because you weren't healing. So they gave you all the good steals.

[@Primalliquid92]

oh i wish, would make stealing from hilgigas so much easier lol

[@Pbeastcollins693]

The green snake is so easy. You can make it so he never attacks. Blizzara with Vivi, Zidane steals, Garnet attacks. In that order. Boss will coil, and by the time he uncoils your ATB will be full. Repeat. 0 damage.

[@sam8789]

Epic vid as always my brother!

[@Primalliquid92]

Legend!

[@way000]

The best ff content around

[@SomeOne-vh1rm]

Something suspicious about all these good steals first go lol :D, I have had that good RNG before as well. Demon mail first go that's like a 0.8% chance :O

[@tylerwilkinson804]

Great vid as always man. Quick Question - i've. been following all of you pixel remaster guides and because of you i've 100 percented. 1-4! Will you be returning to finish 5 and 6?

very very slowly yes, part 1 for 5 is out i just havnt been able to sit down and do more yet

It's cool to see two of my fav content creators be good friends as well. Don't buy the boat!

[@curtisjones9372]

Knew after 10 you were going to try it again with another ff but I am so thrilled you picked 9

[@Primalliquid92]

heck yea! ill try to do them all

[@1ove1ess]

Insane, great job!

[@ToniBingi]

26:50 Somebody go their prizes mixed up. The coral ring is what you get if Zidane is KO'd in the first battle. If Zidane wins (relatively easy as long as you plan your route ahead of time and defeat Zaghnol with Zidane still alive), you get a bunch of money, which is the only reward you can make use of in this run. So you should have had Zidane win.

[@Primalliquid92]

not true, you can get the corel ring with zidane still alive, and 5k gil really isnt important at all, i can (and did) make use of the corel ring for abilities, the only thing i couldnt do in this run was use it agaisnt mobs that can attack with thunder element

[@GaBoGaP]

Great video! Hard to believe you're not using an autosteal mod though

[@Primalliquid92]

how so? you can see plenty of failed steals in the video lol

I really like what you are doing. Keep it up. Have a wonderul day!

[@dreamoftheendless1603]

Love your videos!!

[@ambersears4347]

I would love to see a ff9 no gill challenge. It would have no chocobo hot and cold, no synthesis, no inns, no buying items. Which would really cut down what abilities are available

[@vidyastuff3509]

Buying a boat doesn't punish Tantacles, it punishes you.

[@greatrieck]

Here would be a fun idea: FF2 no healing. Just having HP in the red all game and seeing how fast your HP and defense grow. Also far as I remember no forced healing checkpoints.

[@Onitnelav77]

1:11:38 crazy this happened! I wanna know if you tried that again what would happen. Seems crazy that you survived!

[@holydezmondgamez1728]

I'm not sure what ff games would be good for a no healing run, the newer ones from 12 onwards manually heal you whenever you touch a save or from 13 just beating a battle. Some part of me wants to know if beating ff9 or another with starting/weakest equipment is possible but 9, I think, would be interesting as that influences the stats when you level up and i wonder if even max pevel characters would struggle throughout the game with starting equipment

[@tcrobot]

Good luck That battle animation is so smooth.

[@Primalliquid92]

yea moguri did great witht he last update

[@jpoo4572]

I would argue, within the specified rules, that equipping armor or accessories that absorb magic spells isnt really healing since its a passive buff not an active heal. Felt like that wouldve given more dynamic to the run.

[@XyNoST]

Nice run man ! Have you ever tried to do FF6 No Magicite ? (no magic learning, attack, character skills and items only)

[@letto18]

I know it's sort of possible in FF7, The Necrosis mod is a version of the game where every character starts out with 9999hp and 999mp and can never heal hp or mp (not even story heals/inns). Death is permanent and if Cloud dies the game is over since the final fight with Sephiroth is impossible. The mod also removes Shield materia, hp and mp absorb materia, and all sources.

[@HorusDeathtouch]

The fact you said "who replaces Twitter" in the script, but then didn't name Eiko "X" was a missed opportuniry

[@Primalliquid92]

oh damn i cant believe i didnt think of that

[@Noct_Snow]

I don’t blame you for not trying to steal the flute, it takes an hour on a normal playthrough lol.

[@hizzousekakashi8836]

Fun story about why I never beat it till years after initial play through, I misread the text in the game and when I entered the portal towards the final boss I took "we can't turn back now" literally and did not know you could turn back and leave the portal to go buy and heal up, so I got to the final boss with no healing items, no magic tags and all my characters were out of mana, you can survive MOST of it with just autoregen but the final boss will cast necrosis that will 100% zombie your team and then that will kill your team instead if you don't have any tags to remove it(and didn't 100% all abilities on characters)

[@sleekeith2444]

Great job!

[@danielfarnell2665]

I am always wondering one thing: Is there a reason why you never seem to imply speed run strats except like healing undead enemies to death? I specifically remember that there was something neat for the final boss in FFIX

there isnt really anything unique to necron to my knowledge but typically, common known things i dont elebarate on

[@Moffattt]

you ever though of doing a challenge on ff9 alternate fantasy mod? saw you had a playthrough of it. i for one think its an upgrade to ff9 so would be cool to see some challenge runs on that

Lucky seven can be only used if your HP ends in a 7 then it deals either 7, 77, 777 or 7777 dmg if zidane hp isnt ending in 7 lucky seven will do only 1 dmg. Dunno where you got that info from.

[@Vyrsahus]

Lucky Seven can deal 7, 77, 777, or 7777 damage but only if the last digit of Zidane HP is 7. Thats why it only did 1 damage on Earth Guardian :)

@@curtisjones9372which is a shame but I get it. FF12 is a really great game imo. Especially the international

It's Tantarian, RNG hates you. Also, yes you've got fira but had you dealt with hot and cold, you could have bio instead, weakness and stronger in general, getting more damage in, in case it's not enough before it closes again, making you find it again, risking more damage.

[@rem399]

Haven't made it past the intro so I don't know if you do this or not, but the idea of not being able to reload until a full party wipe would be so evil. I mean reloading a past save means healing XD
