Can You Beat Final Fantasy 8 ONLY USING Edea - Challenge Run

[@Primalliquid92]

Friendly reminder to everybody! all lets plays and long form walkthrough videos will now be posted on this youtube channel kzbin.info/door/HJkFVit-F3oXneYyPrQUfw Guides and challenges will remain here on the main channel. also, dont forget to come join our awesome little community on discord! discord.com/invite/c4FZEgv

I appreciate that regular posting helps with the algorithm - but this is a great move. I've found myself having to unsubscribe in the past just because there was a lets play/walkthrough series that I wasn't interested in that spammed my sub feed.

“Here to see Edea” while showing a picture of Quistis. This guy knows what I’m really here for.

[@AndyHoward]

Yeah I'm more of a Quistis kind of guy.

My biggest disappointment playing FF8 back in the day was realizing in disc 3 that Edea wasn't going to be a permanent party member. I wanted to keep her around so bad!

[@airnoiphongsavath3340]

Yes!!

[@SeventhheavenDK]

Same here

[@opo3628]

Me, too. Doing my first playthrough, which was done completely blind and unspoiled, it totally blew my mind when Edea herself joined my party and I was so excited to see what she could do -- and then my disappointment was immeasurable when she left like 10 minutes later. 😑

[@overseerpjoe9477]

Squall to Past Edea: So I'm gonna grow up to kill a Sorcereress from the future to save the world. Past Edea: Nah, I'll just do it myself.

[@williambrown5934]

Yeah… One of the strangest ending in a game.. One of them.. If only Squall could have thought of a way to stop/ break the chain 😅 But then… 🫣 Yeah… Weird ending… Wonder if it can take the cake- for strangest ending among the final fantasy franchise, as I have only played a few (all of them BEFORE FFX).

[@Tephlosion]

It’s crazy how much her final form looks like anima from ffx

[@jonbrown8698]

I’ve played and beat this game so many times over the years and never once played Chocobo World. I hope they eventually do a remastered version like they did with 7

[@jeremyhall2727]

Oh me too

[@tantacles]

Dude, this video is super fun. FF8 love is always appreciated.

[@harrygainer]

Don’t have anything to say. Just want to comment to help the algorithm cos this amount of effort deserves more likes and visibility.

[@kwpineda5663]

FF8!? I nearly broke my thumb I clicked so fast 😂

[@MatthewG1247]

Nice to see Edea slapping everyone.

[@williambrown5934]

Ah, but it needed something… @Primalliquid with every Basic attack, *needed to say* “Who’s your daddy?!” You can’t go around slapping without those *magical* words, yo!

[@ritachikorita6916]

Tip for Ultimicia’s final form, her first four moves are scripted from my experience. Her first two turns are both spent using Hell’s Judgement, the third drawing Apocalypse, and then the fourth casting it. No idea what she does after that, seeing as I always just hit her with limit breaks until she dies. A bit of a shame considering how good “The Extreme” is.

[@Lyaela]

Nice to see this challenge popping up after we talked about it, was fun to watch. I feel tho the one I had in mind is even harder if you limit her to only to use the spells she has as a boss fight for example.

[@vsolyomi]

Love it how you have to forbid half of the game mechanics for a challenge run to have any challenge!

[@Alex-jd2yx]

They could've given us a few more specials for Edea, she even now is such a cool character, great design

[@jeremyhall2727]

Ikr, I remembered when she joined the party the first time I played FF8. I was so happy.. 😭 but then she left

[@SKDraco]

I always wished when you used Draw, you would get 15-20 casts instead of just 1-3.

[@twilliamspro]

Love the idea of Edea being pissed this person is Pretending to be her so goes to galbadia to beat her ass then goes after ultimecia for daring to pretend to be her.

[@second_second_]

That's such a nice, funny, and interesting story for a girl boss

[@Matty_Ice87]

I love your videos bro! Keep FF8 alive!❤

[@DreamyDawnMusic]

Love that PrimalLiquid Spere Grid thing :D Nice videos as always man!

[@johnnybeard]

Amazing video as always bud! Strange glitch at the end of Disc 1... did you consider trying the "Game Over" method? Apparently if the party KOs in the Edea fight the game continues anyway

[@jujijuman]

never seen ff8 but now i see where the inspiration for anima came from

[@thattruegamernerd]

True I am just here to stare at Edea but y’know this commentary does add to it immensely frfr

[@craigsands2567]

​@@Primalliquid92I've never played FF8...it's actually the only mainline game I need to play outside of 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16. I played 1-7 than skipped to 10 and 15.

[@randalthor2859]

Cards dropped in battle only, no playing trip triad. He specified right away, c'mon lol

[@juliankanzuki2013]

"Hey guys, I gave away my sorceress powers at the end of disk 3, I'm totally not a sorceress anymore, honestly!" - says the woman who points at enemies and they die, fires ice through people, and her whole outfit is magical which she shows off in every fight intro. ...sure.. definitly not a sorcerress anymore.. we beleive you. Literally everything she does is magic.

[@SeventhheavenDK]

Actually, it was at the end of Disk 2. She passed her powers to Rinoa.

[@juliankanzuki2013]

@@SeventhheavenDK yeah same point, despite claiming to no longer be a sorceress, she continues to use magic in everything she does, her basic attack is magic, her outfit is magic, even her movments are magic. She's so blatantly still a sorceress and just lieing.

[@LOVEPHOENIXDANCER]

i still agree with dahp whens that ff10 bamahut only ? also there is ways to get quake and tornado magic as early as disk 1 without the cards. although quake is a pain to do so. and both you just need mug

[@TitaRussellTrails]

As for why king Tonberry died so fast that’s due to level scaling enemies. Many bosses have their level = your average level + or - 3. This means a boss like Elvaret can have 2700 HP or over 3500 hp. When you battle it during the SEED exam

[@Leonfei]

Raijin: I don't hit girls ya know Raijin: Proceeds to hit Edea Hmmm...

[@TheMoogleKing93]

Something to the effect of "Always level 100, no refine skills" would be an interesting challenge to torture you with

[@Primalliquid92]

would pretty much pan out like this one, simply run from all fights as bosses are level capped for the most part

[@Braver-Seven]

Love the videos! The background track from ff9 is getting pretty grating, it's a great song but please consider switching it up if possible 😊

[@Primalliquid92]

its pretty hard these days with all the fake copyright claims hitting creators currently

[@Braver-Seven]

​@@Primalliquid92 fair enough! Don't want to see that happen to your channel!!

[@DrStabkill]

I distinctly remember playing this as a kid and getting stuck on the missile base fight more than once and no matter how much I leveled up not being able to get past and having to start over. Now clearly at the time I didn’t know the monsters were leveling up with me and I made it near impossible but also I think I was using the junction very poorly. So maybe a summons ok but no junction magic+ max level run?

[@randalthor2859]

That's where a lot of people end their first run because they glossed over the (incredibly neccessary) tutorials. Self included 😂

[@laucian9181]

Hey Primal, did you know you can lose the Diablos fight? Now there is the normal way, he can gravity you and hit you physically. But, if you're dumb and decided to take him on at Lv 100, if memory serves(it has been many years) his special move will do 100% damage cause of how it works. That's what you get if on a play through that you just wanted to use a gameshark after many times playing through to spice things up. It just made the game harder in the end lol

[@Rith9789]

Are you going to do Beatrix only in FF9?

[@Tephlosion]

Seifer extra confused about why he is fighting the person he works for 😂

[@Llediarth]

If I remember right light pillar is physical so protect halves it? And, yes, defend is an option for the same reason. To be honest defend and counter are a pretty OP combo (plus cover if you are not doing a solo challenge)

[@Citizen_Nappa23]

You can beat FF8 with any character solo majority of a character strength is due to the junctioned GM and what abilities and paired magic that enhance your stats.

[@TRWM735]

The enthusiasm in this video is also awesome

[@ActionJacksonForever]

This is the first time I’ve ever heard someone pronounce Edea’s name. I’ve always called her E-Dee

[@SeventhheavenDK]

I was also curious about that.

[@jeremyhall2727]

Really.. i always said e-dan. Now I forgot how he said it 😂

[@Sephiroth08150]

"Can you beat Final Fantasy VIII with...?" Yes. That game is so permissive that you can do anything you want with it.

[@CiciColino]

That was basically his conclusion at the end. Junction makes it possible to solo this game with any of the cast and it's quite easy regardless of who you pick.

[@veghesther3204]

Normally HER and Seifer are IMPOSSIBLE since you can't keep BOTH.

[@Onitnelav77]

Love the videos bro. Thank you!!

[@randalthor2859]

5:50 The *one* spot in the game I *always* use an item. Got my first Game over against this dude. Accidentally used a potion on him instead of Squall (causing Squall to die) and did a double take at the damage dealt. Tossed one of my two Phoenix downs at Squall, and my *high potions* at the boss 😂 Didn't realize till my 3rd playthrough he goes down to Phoenix Down 😅

[@yandrep94]

Lol, could not have been more accurate. I am interested but i also needed a short video to have in the background😂

No mod bro. He hacked the game. He did it all on the fly 😮😒 I wish there was a mod. The only game play mods I found was to make the game harder. Well, there's (the name of the red space ship you get on disc 3) it adds new side quests & rebalance everything. Some new stuff is there. Google it the name of that ship for final fantasy 8 mods
