[@aschfonfabreplays]

PLEASE DO MORE OF THIS!

[@markdiaz512]

Next challenge: can you beat Hey You Pikachu as a silent protagonist?

[@zdelrod829]

I'd love to see ChatGPT try to beat Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. That or try to beat the nightmare that is Final Fantasy XII.

[@Dr_Donald_Duck]

Love this format. Please do more. 2000 prompts isn't that bad for a game like this tbh.

[@NetBattler]

Next challenge is ask the AI to beat Megaman battle network 1 😂

[@TheMoogleKing93]

I love how it navigates the more complicated parts of the game better than the simpler parts, presumably because more has been written about how to explicitly navigate the complex sections of the game than the simple ones!

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Yes that was definitely interesting! Well spotted.

[@andrescorzo8812]

Lol, chatGPT named Ifrit the same that I did in my first run when I was 10 hahaha.

[@seankkg]

Try using cardinal directions when establishing a room for the AI. "There's an exit in the northwest and southeast. Which should I use?" Treat it like an old text-based exploration game, where you're the game and the AI is the player.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Good idea! I suppose it depends how much you want to "help" the chatbot.

[@alloounou6900]

ChatGPT going to catch these hands for appearing on a video before your viewers.

[@TheMoogleKing93]

AI is even replacing KZbinrs now damn

[@RPGchallengeruns]

I like to think of it as a sub-contractor. 🤣

[@McLovin20004]

I was very Worried also for the Yunalesca fight, but Yeah see it yourself 😂 it went really good.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

I think we got super lucky in that fight. It could've gone MUCH worse! 😅

[@McLovin20004]

@@RPGchallengeruns Yeah but you dealt MASSIVE DAMAGE, so no Problem 😂

[@vampocalpyse]

I'm actually really impressed that Chat GPT translated Holy Sh*t were being attacked by sin

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Haha me too! Is the translation actually correct though? I don't think I even checked. 😂

[@Zenriesz]

@@RPGchallengeruns Not even close, the closest it got is the word "drec" which means "this" so it almost got it, it just swapped the T and S, and the rest of it is gibberish. I'm kinda dissapointed too since al bhed isn't that complicated, considering its just vowels shuffled with vowels and consonants shuffled with consonants, I.e. D = T, R = H, E = I, C = S for example.

[@aschfonfabreplays]

Kenshin is most likely a reference to an anime named Rouroni Kenshin, which has a samurai protagonist of the same name

[@EldenRingBuildsArchive]

Close, Rurouni means wandering ronin (samurai without a lord) and kenshin means heart of the blade, as in, someone unparalleled in the art of zanjutsu/swordsmanship, which technically, Yojimbo is with zanmato.

[@MugenYomi]

​@@EldenRingBuildsArchiveConsidering the chat bot's preferences so far, it seems more likely to be a reference to the anime character, otherwise it would likely be Blade, Katana, or something similar

[@Dr_Donald_Duck]

He should've asked ChatGPT why it chose those names :)

[@chrisdixon7377]

Ruroni kenshin is being remade and it's 🔥 on crunchy roll

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Thanks, I haven't watched that anime yet so it didn't spring to mind.

[@cassandrine]

Take a drink every time Chat GPT apologizes

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Steady on now! 🤣

[@billwumsen4108]

lets get hammerd together xD@@RPGchallengeruns @cassandrine

[@ericolivencia]

That's how you play BLIZTEDball!!

[@MooglePower]

LOL, translating "Yevon drec uvvecdan fyedehc dra Sin" comes up with "Yevon this offister waitins the Sin." Seems like ChatGPT needs to brush up on its Al Bhed, haha.

[@yullu65]

This was a really fun idea! The laughing scene killed me 😂 It's nice to see that ChatGBT at least is better at the game than my 7-year old self that didn't know English. Greetings from Sweden!

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Thanks for the kind words, and congrats on learning a second language - that's really impressive!!

[@TaurusX4]

You should definitely let ChatGPT guide you through other games. It was very interesting seeing the AI come up with different and (although not always) precise strategies :)

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Sure! I'm hopeful that it'll be able to beat anything turn-based. 🤞

[@deathstinger13]

if no one's informed you, the reason why Khimari had such an easy fight against the two ronso at Mt.Gagazet is because that fight is specifically scaled to Khimari's current level/stats. Probably to prevent players not using Khimari regularly from having to go grind for hours, possibly backtracking quite a bit or burning through a lot of items to keep Khimari alive at the end of the fight

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Thank you, that's really interesting! Very clever for the devs to do that.

[@deathstinger13]

definitely. Especially since it's one of the few places with such heavy restrictions on who you can use, and iirc, the only one without a convenient grind spot. Plus since Yuna's forced into the party during a few major boss fights, she'd probably have at last a few levels, plus her summons to fall back on if you needed to grind. @@RPGchallengeruns

[@alexvanzyl_official]

When I first played FFX a few years ago I didn't use Kimahri at all. Biran and Yenke absolutely floored Kimahri. So I had to go back to the Calm Lands and grind for hours lmao

[@deathstinger13]

@@alexvanzyl_official Biran and Yenke are actually scaled to Kimahri, so technically grinding wasn't required. But this on can imagine it helped, even just giving you new skills to work with

[@alexvanzyl_official]

@@deathstinger13 I wish I discovered this when I played it the first time haha. It feels so good to beat them every time...

[@godsplayingfield]

something i learned this vid: you can use Aeons against Yunalesca. i was CERTAIN she would banish them like Seymour3 does. or atleast do so on her transision into her third phase so megadeath would always hit. the fact it doesnt means i have been making this fight A TONNE harder since the games initial release. god damn.

[@adognamedsally]

I think it would be interesting to try this again, but with a game that you've never played.

[@jaebrowne6780]

We won’t see the video til 2026

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Challenge accepted! 😉

[@Bozebo]

A difficult action game, like Ninja Gaiden xD

[@Konic_and_Snuckles]

12:35 - What ChatGPT actually said in Al Bhed was "Yevon this offister waitins the Sin"

[@twilightverdict]

This is why AI will wipe us out, when you torment it like that XD

[@RPGchallengeruns]

I've certainly moved up a few positions higher on its priority target list!

[@joegardner851]

I know, AI is telling us they can’t tell us what to do. This is what going to get them to takeover because we told them too 😂

[@prim1160]

I'm literally astonished by how high-quality these videos are, especially coming from such a small channel, though the word has quite lost its meaning nowadays, your channel truly is underrated. And btw, would you consider running a bravely game? Something like a no equipment run, an only freelancer one, etc, I think it'd be pretty interesting

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Thanks for the kind words! Yes that's definitely on the "to do" list! 😀

[@katieheys3007]

14:26 lol took me four times to pause it in time you sod :D

[@RPGchallengeruns]

I live to please! 🤣

[@bowzofoshu6695]

Kenshin is a reference to an anime called rurouni kenshin or samurai X in the west. It's a significantly more apt name for Yojimbo than you could imagine lol. 10 out of 10, definitely recommend watching that anime though.

[@BigPuffDaddy]

Kenshin could be in reference to the titular character “Kenshin Himura”, from manga Rurouni Kenshin. It could also just be because “Kenshi” is the word for swordsman in Japanese, and adding the “n” namifies it a little. Either way, neat reference!

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Good to know. Thank you!

[@maddyn.5877]

You just forced ChatGPT to kind of play D&D with you being the game Master. I think this comparison is kind of funny

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Haha yeah that's a really good comparison!

[@kylecrombie5201]

You make incredible videos as always you deserve so much more subscribers for the amount of work you put into these. I enjoy each and every single one keep it up bro.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Thanks for the support! I appreciate you coming along for the ride! 😀

[@liamjordan3068]

Hmmm blitz ball will be fun

[@StevePlayingStuff]

Kenshin must be a reference to the manga Rurouni Kenshin!

Great to know, thanks!

I loved pausing for your pointless tiny text 😂

Damn dude I just saw your sub count. I think you had like 1 or 2k subs when I first saw one of your videos. Love this channel and I'm happy it's growing.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Thanks! Yeah I'm really surprised considering I only upload once a month as a hobby.

[@Sharticus94]

[@zeomatrix3]

During the calm land phase where you mentioned not using outside knowledge for obtaining the extra aeons that a player wouldn't know about, the previous chatGPT screen displayed the names of these aeons, so technically it told you about them, you could have asked it about them using that information. However, unless you had been told about the chests in the temples, you would more than likely have needed to beat some dark aeons, so it's understandable you would want to just overlook that :P

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Yes, in hindsight I probably should have asked it who Anima and The Magus Sisters were & how to get them. Trying to fight the dark aeons would've been good fun!

[@futotesan]

@@RPGchallengeruns Sequel/challenge run incoming?

[@coderwilson]

It took you 100 hours to make a challenge run using AI? hmmm... it took me four years. Maybe I should have just used ChatGPT instead. :P (For context, I wrote the TAS for this game) In all seriousness, always love seeing new ways to play/beat this childhood favorite.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Probably more than 100 hours in total (easy to lose track of time, especially when editing!) but yeah it was great fun! Thank you!

[@LillaMig]

14:25 was i the only one who saw it?

[@billwumsen4108]

wow that felt amazingly wholesome and i cant really describe why, but it was so much fun and i feel like ChatGPT had fun too, but is not allowed to really express that! xD Please do that again with another game sometime. oc ffx-2 would be the closest but i would not mind any other. I've subbed now and you really triggerd my curiosity. much love from germany!

[@TheAlphadog666]

Great run! Such a fantastic final fantasy. I loved this one as a kid. The graphics for a PS2 game are insane. You should put your challenges at the start of a long video. Didn’t even know I was meant to be looking for them. And not going back to watch it again now.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Thanks! Totally agree the game was awesome, especially for PS2. Yeah the Sephiroth challenge probably should've been mentioned at the start, but you know what KZbin is like, you have to hook people in at full speed right from the start.

Just started watching and every time you bring the chat transcripts up on the screen causes me pain because I can imagine how much effort it must take. I feel kind of sorry for you but I mostly can just imagine the effort it would take for me to do this and that's not something that I want to do and now I am sad.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Thanks, I appreciate the recognition! :) It was difficult to know exactly where to put the chat prompts in the video, and how big to make them, without ruining the viewing experience. In the end I just shoved most of them in the top-right corner. 😆

[@varyosc]

Didn't need chat to remember to like the video

[@RPGchallengeruns]

And here's a Like for your comment in exchange! Thanks. 😅

[@blakejordan3978]

I tried to do this with another game and I wanted to die.

God bless the KZbin algorithm for recommending this video to me, this is a brilliant idea and the way you've presented it to us is amazing! Looking forward to seeing if you do more of these in the future! ^.^

[@KimParkkinen]

Having ChatGPT play a Shin Megami Tensei -game (of which the Persona series is probably the most well known, but my vote is on either Digital Devil Saga or Nocturne) known for their difficulty would be a treat for sure!

[@clairexx4611]

This was a really cool challenge! Thanks so much for the time and effort you put in your videos. :) Sadly I only saw four of the Sephiroth references, and two of them were pretty well hidden! Please tell us in the next video where they were, I'd love to know what I'm missing. But I also found a pretty obvious Panic at the disco reference, which was very cool. Thanks a lot, I'm looking forward to the next challenge.

[@warpseer]

[@JackPierce-g1r]

Love the ‘Mmmmmmmmmmasivve damage’. Every time I hear massive damage in any of your videos I just smile. I’m playing FF12 again and can’t help but say it to myself now.

[@AmeenTopa]

Nice run, but I have bad news for you. For the second half of the video (for example at @34:08), you are referring to BlitzMst as Tidus when asking for instructions from ChatGPT. Thus, the run does not count. technically. Just joking mate, great efforts! I've enjoyed the video.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Hahaha you got me there! 🤣 Cheers!

[@mr.e2643]

Heh you found the "chatgpt can't do letter limits" bug too. You'd think "AI" could do "for string X character limit" but they censored it so much it became 50 IQ

[@Bozebo]

Really need a machine learning model given somehow normalised inputs from the game world (combat data, field scenes, and knowing if there's a cutscene to wait through etc.) in realtime and which outputs controller/kbd/binding inputs, then have it train on the game itself thousands of times in the background and mess with back propagation choices, or something like that?

[@paladincress]

Can ChatGPT beat Legend of Dragoon?!

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Yes! ... probably. :)

Kenshin refers to the anime/manga Rurouni Kenshin or American known samurai X where the main character’s name was Kenshin Himura. Flipping Chat GPT is great 😂

[@roperaustraman4445]

I don’t understand why you said you would try to avoid spoilers but called Braska’s Final Aeon Jecht 50 times when it was never shown on screen. That is kinda a huge spoiler.

[@livingtoaster1358]

Fortunately I understand the reference, Kenshin is the main character of a manga/anime called Rurouni Kenshin, and the he's a rurouni or a wandering swordsman, often with the personality "wanderer", similarly Yojimbo is a wandering swordsman and they both wear red clothing.

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Thank you!

I liked the Sephiroth reference

[@RPGchallengeruns]

But did you find all 5 hidden in the video?

Oh, I got one: Can you beat Dragon Age: Inquisition, using only a Bow?

[@nevenegra8814]

also kenshin, i probably himura kenshin from "rurouni kenshin" (samurai x in brazil) it's a old manga/anime about a guy who was a ruthless killer during the war times but that after peace was restored to japan renounced the life of killing, he fights with a katan with a inverted blade so he won't kill anyone and a lot of people recognize him because of his "x" shaped scar which attracts a bunch of baddies trying to kill him to gain recognition of killing a legend

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Interesting, thanks for sharing!
