I am begging you: PLEASE use another song besides "You're Not Alone" from FF9. You've made me officially sick of hearing it.

[@anthonybrainwood8015]

It would be cool to see a Valefor only run but that would be near impossible to do.

[@powwowken2760]

Whenever I play FFX I always think to myself, "This time I'll use Khimari and get all his overdrives and he'll be awesome"... Then I inevitably remember how annoying getting all his overdrives can be so I tell myself I'll get them later, then I just... Don't... And he just kinda gets sat on the bench.

[@slowdown8at606]

You can get basically all of them except Nova in the fight with biran and yenke

[@vo1ce147]

So I'm not alone huh, same here it will be cool, until we realized it's just too much.

[@powwowken2760]

@@slowdown8at606 A totally fair and valid point... But that involves waiting for them use the move that you want to learn, which is pretty much the definition of annoying in my book.

[@Dwyer69]

Blue mages be convenient and fun to use would be a great challenge run for Square to try and undertake lol. What sucks the most is that like, blue mages are the coolest class in concept they just always feel awful to use compared to everyone else.

[@kenji4330]

I once got thundaga with him in macalania and was dealing 6k dmg a pop, he can be very op mid game

[@nakodares5982]

I knew Biran and Yenke wouldn’t be an issue because the whole point of them scaling to Kimahri means that their difficulty remains roughly the same no matter how strong your Kimhari is. There’s a guy on KZbin who does the fight with maxed out Kimahri and isn’t really any more difficult - if anything it’s easier.

[@Primalliquid92]

a completely maxed out khimari just makes the fight take ages because even with everything having capped stats they dont break the damage limit on anything, they just have insane hp bloat. it is entirely possible to over level khimari though and make the fight impossible, all depends on how you level your khimari

[@nakodares5982]

@@Primalliquid92 To be honest I haven't seen any instance of someone levelling their Kimahri in such a way the fight becomes impossible and I'm not even sure how that would be done. I know the fight becomes ridiculously long when they have such high hp but I'm not sure how they would out-heal your damage. Either way, with a strong Kimahri I actually thought it became an easier fight, not more difficult.

[@godsplayingfield]

@@nakodares5982 if you dont give him abilities then yeah the stats only leveling would make them impossible. but as long as you give Kimahri shell, protect and haste he cannot be defeated by those two.... could take for fcking ever though

[@shadowfate05]

@@godsplayingfield I feel like you'd have to actually try to make it impossible by skipping specific stat nodes too. Biran caps at 27 strength/11 magic and Yenke caps at 22 mag/13 strength (Happens after activating activating 2200 worth of HP nodes, so 11). I imagine you'd have to do something like hit exactly 2844 HP, max strength so you'd inflate their HP as high as you can after hitting the damage cap while leaving magic at base in order to minimize the HP lancet could absorb, and avoid any and all def/mdef nodes to take as much damage as possible. Even then, Biran gives you access to doom (20 count on both) so you avoid the whole damage sponge aspect by just focusing entirely on staying alive

[@BlitzballMania]

Yeah leveling Kimahri too much just makes Biran and Yenke have a ton of HP. If you have the patience you can get him break damage limit with dark matter but that's 600 blitzball matches.

[@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716]

Didn't kill penance with khimari only. Thus this challenge run fails

[@legeul]

I did this when i was a kid, basicaly i did Kimahri's grid then went into Yuna's grid to get the important spells, including Holy and then i went for Rikku's grid for mug and use. I also used combine a lot for zombie proof and other important effects. Having access to Holy really helps a lot.

[@thejohnkaufman]

I continue to love ths use of "You're Not Alone" in the background for your solo (and other) runs

[@lewis9s]

Ironic music choice

[@Phantosification]

I genuinely liked that song until he used it in every video he makes. It'd be one thing if he used several of the same songs in his videos, but no, it's just ALL "You're Not Alone". On a loop. Hours and hours of it because he's too lazy to just use a different song sometimes.

[@michaelcottrell3637]

As a kid I used to use the game shark saves included with the disk on games to see how it would break them. Kimahris fight with Biran and Yanke becomes impossible if you use the game shark (v1.3 iirc) save states to max everyone. Biran and Yankes hp overflows making their total hp will be higher than max hp. 😂 pretty much locks you there since they won't go down haha.

[@newironside]

Are they immune to Doom? It's been years but I swear I killed them like that one time

[@terrinater]

I was a kid when i first played this and believed Khimari was the strongest character in the game based off of physical appearance alone. I ended up forcing Tidus off of his path and onto Khimari's... I couldnt make it past Evrae. Kinda funny seeing challenges with him

[@patrickaull]

Khimari was my favorite as a kid, he looked so cool! Was a shame he ended up so weak with his path. The expert sphere grid greatly improved him, considering he can go down any characters path!

[@RobertTLongway]

Would be absolutely overjoyed to see Monster Arena/Dark Aeon fights with Big K, so many challenge runs just end at BFA (for obvious reasons of course but it leaves me yearning for more)

[@ericl9130]

It always felt very unfortunate to me how Kimahri works in this game. The entire party is together for so much of it that he really doesn’t have a role that isn’t filled better by someone else readily available

[@patrickaull]

I like the cheese of not using items, but having access of 'Use'. It isnt using items with the item command, but personally I would still consider that using items lol! Either way, awesome video and kudos for the time and effort put into this! Among all the other crazy videos you make! Keep it up!

[@teemupennanen8359]

Man I remember being terrified as a kid when I realized that I'd have to fight Biran and what's his name in Mt. Gagazet. I never liked Khimari, and therefore I hadn't paid any attention to him during my playthrough. To my surprise, I wasn't demolished by the two ronsos, and the fight was actually very enjoyable. Many years later I found out that their stats scale with Khimari.

[@RogueBanana-v4x]

the amount of grinding and challenge you do in this game alone is crazy. just the thought of unable to skip screen keeps me away for a good period of time before i touch it again.

[@xerxiesdaoc]

as we get started im going to predict that its possible but some sections are going to be very interesting. especially everat on the airship

[@JamSac]

Awesome idea! Love the video man 😊

[@grebovich7142]

[@lukespivey3550]

Khimari, my beloved! I'm excited to see you demonstrate why the Fiend's way of fighting is #1!

[@Primalliquid92]

it has some interesting moments thats for sure lol

[@Blackbird1928]

I complete khimari’s grid then pop him onto tidus’ grid as I drop the +4 node for strength from blitzball and by the time I get to “home” at the al bed section he hits for 3k with piercing. Massively underrated (so long as you’re willing to grab one teleport sphere from blitzball, though to be fair if you put Yuna on Auron’s grid Bahamut can solo the game as soon as you get him)

[@fenrirlives2226]

I'm glad that this is the first thing that shows up when I searched for a FFX challenge run! Exactly what I was looking for!

[@joaocarlossotoriva4684]

Oh man I've been waiting for a Khimari only run for such a long time. Great work!

[@Primalliquid92]

Enjoy!

[@Br0oham]

This was, at one point, considered one of the hardest challenges for FFX, as he was one of the few characters whose Standard Sphere Grid wasn't quite enough to beat Overdrive Sin. But one person (I don't remember who) managed to beat it

[@alpakafantasy5134]

Thanks man, Kimahri's time to shine... Finally. So much effort❤🎉. As much I love Kimahri as a character I could never do this but I an happy I was able to enjoy it. Woud it be very much easier if the other characters like Yuna would be allowed to defend all time since the enemies kill them? Would have suited Kimahri's role as a guardian more but it also can't be too easy lol. Have a great day 🎄🤗

[@Primalliquid92]

hey! thanks so much for the super! and yea i just chose to kill the characters off so that enemy attacks would all land on khimari during the fight to add that little bit more of a challenge

[@starryskies9655]

I’ve unironically been using Kimhari because I like him, so this premise interests me greatly

[@dorkiesanman]

Love the ffx challenge videos. Honestly makes me want to start running these myself

[@Primalliquid92]

Go for it!

[@LordYharim]

If i had to guess the run enders, it would be Evrae Altana, since you can't use khimari and items. But if you can't even reach there, i was also thinking about the robot that traps Yuna underwater!

[@conorquinn190]

I would assume the sections where you don't have Kimarhi in your party don't count. There's also the fight against the big bird when you drop into Bikanel Island and you only have Tidus, Auron and Lulu. Theres the underwater sections in Gagazet too.

[@ArealDesEffekts]

thumbs up, because you talk about how unfortunately it is that kimahri isnt available on the bridge which is easy the best leveling spot in the story 🤯 (before monsterfarm and triple-ap-stuff etc.)

[@Primalliquid92]

yea the bridge is so broken for leveling, nothing beats it until after you get the airship

[@finnmccoolio9500]

macalania temple must be impossible without crazy over leveling. Excited to see

[@BRHency]

I did a solo Kimari run several years back and didn't have the restrictions you have. I remember that first Sinspawn fight on the boat seeming near impossible and the only way I got through it was instead of the other characters killing themselves, I had them defend. Still took a few tries so kudos there. It was on PS2 version so I think I opted for speed and healing so went Tidus and Yuna grids early on. Either way, too many close calls or outright grinding forever after a fight because of inability to win. I also did a solo Valefor run (you can only use Valefor when possible; leveled Yuna) and that was pretty rough as well. It was pretty fun and I got almost hard-stuck at the non-Valefor areas and had to abuse Mix/Use because there simply wasn't a way around it. And I recall Seymour being a pain and I think I was forced to find ways to one-shot him before he one-shot Valefor. I think I allowed myself to rotate aeons in those instances, because I seem to remember him just 1-shotting my entire roster of aeons. Fun times and was amusing at the end of the game when Yuna had to carry everyone.

[@shadedergu9921]

It will be a slog But my first time running the Monster Arena was pretty close to solo'ed by Kimahri with Holy. I forget how far I got before I started training everyone else though, just that the original grind to cap magic in a Holy Battle against the Flan took eons (I believe he was the one that dropped magic). But that was because I did early Holy on him and had Kimahri just Holy spam the game to carry me through it lul.

[@battdriver7553]

How about some love for Daph with a "How fast can Bahamut kill a boss" challenge across the mainline games?

[@Primalliquid92]

sounds kinda boring if im honest, maybe instead we do a how many times can we kill bahamut?

[@battdriver7553]

@@Primalliquid92 knowing your level of patience I believe the number approaches infinity...maybe add a caveat where you have to end with a specific amount of health (less than 100, 1000, whatever- depends on the game) it would be a test of precision

I've got an idea for a challenge run. Would it be possible to beat FFX while only being allowed to unlock Evasion, Agility, Accuracy and Ability nodes on the Sphere Grid? Good luck w/ the sole Kimahri post-game!

[@Eternalwarpuppy]

There are people who have completed FFX without using the sphere grid at all.

Video request: Beat each Dark Aeon using ONLY the matching Aeon. i.e. beat Dark Valefor using only Valefor, beat Dark Ifrit using only Ifrit... and so on.

[@themiasmastream]

I genuinely would be curious what possible build you could do that would make the Ronso fight impossible. Its always had the same relative difficulty regardless of how I build him, including a run where he was maxed at that point with item cheats. Really doesn't seem possible unless you intentionally only chose to activate like speed nodes but never defensive or offensive nodes.

[@Primalliquid92]

also comes down to abilities, for example if you have no way to heal and no shell/protect its quite easy for them to kill you before you can kill them

[@jtierney89]

A year back I actually did a full play through on my twitch with "Solo Khimari" but I did add in deathless, needless to say, certain spots needed rng, but other then that, two weeks and mission accomplished.

My Guess for run blockers: Technical Issues, and you being a giant lemon.

[@Eternalwarpuppy]

Haven't watched yet, I am going to guess that the 2 run enders are... 1 Anima -During the fight with Seymour after you get Shiva because this is a fight where you are semi scripted to summon Shiva and Anima will cast Pain and 1 shot party members if you don't. I'm not sure if null death will protect you from this or if you can even get it at this stage of the game. 2- I don't know what it is called but the thing that counters all of your melee attacks and summons a disruptor probe that prevents spellcasting. Since the probes are out of Kimari's reach and nullify spells, the only way Kimari can destroy them is with Lancet.

[@Eternalwarpuppy]

Seems like you made this challenge harder on yourself than I had realized. I thought no using other characters only meant in battle, but you restricted customize as well. Somehow I didn't consider the possibility of grenades to kill the disruptor so I definitely missed the mark on that one, but at least I was right about Anima.
