We Tried To Speedrun Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories!

[@genesisyugioh9405]

6:00 fun fact, each creature has 2 different attack animations depending on their Guardian Star.

[@TheTeddyGuy28]

That's actually ridiculous lol.

[@ExceedSC2]

"Mars is optimal here, because sometimes Rex plays cards in Jupiter" what a game lol

[@Arki_Green]

Farfa trying to go back in time to when BA is good but instead goes back to 1999

[@Questioningbasics]

Eh, good enough

[@hattori6665]

I actually finished this game when I was a kid and my whole strategy was basically just summon Twin-Headed Dragon and buff it up with equip spells

[@oProfetaAMD]

You were actually playing the meta all along

[@VictorRA2010]

I remember doing the same but I've never finished the game because I kept getting raigeki'd after making my big boy

[@MrCegeb]

Yes, but that alone doesn't enough. You'll need insane luck too. 1. You must open the combo pieces (A thunder and a dragon, with 1600 atk at least either) 2. You must also open the equipment 3. Pray Seto and last bosses do not summon Ultimate Dragon first turn.

[@buisnessgoose7136]

​@MrCegeb if that doesn't work then go and grind for mbd and equips that work on it.

[@raidchaser443]

How to SILENCE "final 6":S/A tec Kaiba(crush card,acid trap hole,widespread ruin),Pegasus(megamorph,bright castle),fake trap to TRICK monsters into staying in atk mode,(MBD bulid)spellbinding circle(Simon Muran) & Shadi(Rakgeki,dark hole). That's AFTER getting S/A pow on LOW meadow mage for MBD,Skull Knight(ANTI Blue Eyes),Gaia & Dark Magician. Free duel Villagers for thunders,dragons & some zombies(dragon zombie needs ONE thunder),Rex for crawling dragon #2(needs 1 thunder),Bakura for defense cards to stall for fusing,low mountain mage & Atenza for birds(monstrous bird,wing eagle,crow goblin,blue wing crown that need 1 pyro for Crimson Sunbird) for EARLY/mage battles.

[@sooooooooDark]

the sound design of this game is 10/10 its so mysterious ominous and spooky...idk as a child (in the pre-internet era) it kinda hit hard...literally felt u potentially gonna lose ur soul or something when losing xD

[@VixYW]

So true. And the battle animation made it look like some brutal gladiator fight, I could almost see the suffering of the defeated monster.

[@lozangekitten-gamer7626]

The soundtrack not only slaps, but is, most importantly, perfect for each and every single moment of the game. All of Seto's theme, the Kaiba pre-duel and duel in the "tournament finals", Both of Heishin's theme (duel, and non-duel), heck even the basic story duel VS anyone from the optional beginning of the game hit just the right buttons. However, my favorite music piece of all has to be the Free duel music, it's, imo, the one that is a "didn't need to slap this much, yet fiery piano" meme worthy level

[@TrevorAllenMD]

How long does the subathon have to go to get the Duelist of the Roses add on 👀

[@Kaimax61]

jeez have mercy on farfa... Forbidden memories is already hard enough.... Duelist of the Roses is blasphemy level gameplay nowadays XD

[@BLonsdale912]

I played this game for countless hours growing up. I had to use a notebook to write down all the different fusions that I found to work. I don't think I realized at the time how bad this game actually was 😆

[@AzzyReal]

Playing Forbidden Memories is a core memory, and is 100% the reason I've been playing Thundra since 2019 lol

[@VixYW]

It's not bad, it's just unfair AF. I would love to see a modern take on it, but it's never gonna happen.

[@-.M.A.D.-]

Dude, how to forget the million ways to make Twin Headed Thunder Dragon, Ushi Oni, Mystical Sand, the 5 card combo for Meteor Black Dragon, Flame Cerberus . Getting to the end of the game and the AI casualy droping 3.5k, 3.75k and 4.5k like nobodies business. Even played the moded FM II which is harder but also exchanges a ton of cards with actual useful ones and it's so funny at times.

[@kyleneeley1]

And by bad surely you mean innovative and fun

[@markwalker2627]

This game bad?? You having a laugh😂

[@zhaoyun255]

Twin headed Thunder Dragon is the friend we made all along.

[@r3zaful]

The game is much more easier if you have meteor black dragon

[@zhaoyun255]

@@r3zaful The problem is the RNG....Especially the highest you got was 0.1% against Mountain Mage with either S or A POW Rank. You are not gonna get that shit anytime soon with your normal playthrough and even grinding for it was such a CHORE!!!

[@r3zaful]

​@@zhaoyun255i have been playing too much gacha and 1% drop rate is generous, also you don't have to hard drop it, you can still use meteor dragon and black dragon to fuse it.

[@zhaoyun255]

@@r3zaful The worst part was that getting Meteor Dragon in first place was even MORE difficulty than getting Meteor Black Dragon itself. 0.98% from Meadow Mage while you got better chance with Meteor Black Dragon 0.1% chance.

[@cdub4626]

I loved this game when it came out. Game never really made sense and as a 6 year old I never really figured out exactly how to play, but I muscled my way all the way through the elemental temple part but I couldn't get past that lol.

[@hurrdurrmurrgurr]

I could never get past the final gauntlet. The MBD strat falls apart when Kaiba drops BEUD turn one.

[@findout-YGO]

@@hurrdurrmurrgurr nowadays the real strat is having monsters with the Mercury star sign and equiping them enough cards to reach at least 4100 atk so they can overcome BEUD's Sun star... skull knight for example won me the whole thing on my second playthrough, then later I got zoa and basically 3 MBD, 3 Skull Knght and 3 Zoa all equipped with enough cards will beat BEUD more consistently than relying on twin headed

[@longdutchprod]

This is the type of Yu-Gi-Oh that Rarran can understand

[@Zamorok]

This games rules were how me and my brother used to play the real life card game 😂

[@r3zaful]

It's a modified version of koushiki rule in the early yugioh with the play only 1 card every turn and no tributes.

[@619Slipk]

4:18 - Great voice acting right there

[@MonosEx]

I feel you weren't ever supposed to finish this game since it always crashes during the end credits

[@ryanwilson9563]

OMG the nostalgia! This was my favourite game on the PS1 as a kid!

[@marcosdheleno]

this, chrono cross and digimon world 1 were the reasons i got a psx back in the day, and even more than 20 years later, i still belive that was one of my best purchases...

[@digitaladventurer2142]

It can be done as their are ways to manipulate the drops but RNG still does play a big factor since you need to draw specific cards. Luckily they've introduced mods that increase the number of cards you get for winning so it's much faster, and say what you will this game is very addicting. Over 20 years later I still like to play this to kill time or just when I'm board. Scoring those MBD's or BEWD always feels good

[@danielwynn9736]

Summons thunder dragon. Video ends. That's forbidden memories for ya

[@triple_gem_shining]

Ive emulated this many times since. But I remember having the original MULTI CD GAME CASE that it took to run the whole game on PS1. And of course, the og grey, CD flip slot 😅

[@LezzaD]

Forbidden memories was one disc.

[@TyroHyuga]

@@LezzaD Yes, but it came in a multidisk case for no real reason. I thought it was for the 3 tcg cards included with the game... except there were no cards

[@raizen4597]

Did you know you can ritual summon blue-eyes ultimate dragon 😂

[@anthonym840]

Just alittle tidbit of info. The planet selection thing does matter. If u choose a planet that is beaten by another planet it will typically gain more attack during the damage step. Not a real rule on yugioh. But it was a cool little side thing to add to the game.

[@Flutterdark_]

is there a part 2 for this where farfa does the 2nd half of the game?

[@harlamguy]

The speedrunning community for Forbidden Memories is absolutely WILD. One of my favorites.

[@danieldardemann8379]

That was a cursed gemstone. But I loved it even played it in my childhood but I don't recall if we ever finished the game

[@miguelmata6883]

The only way this game was bearable was with multiple memory cards, 2 were nice to start with but the real magic came after getting a 3rd and grinding for a bit of starchips :)

[@lozangekitten-gamer7626]

This game had very good ideas, but most of the potentially obtainable cards (including Gate Guardian/BEUD) were locked behind the PocketStation AND behind japanese saves as well... unless you put a cheating device to unlock ALL cards

[@ezekialjackson2011]

Man, i loved this game as a kid. This and Duelist of the Roses.

[@bakasakau5022]

did you know, in the battle animation every monster card is "Ritual" summoned

[@RenzGames]

Everyone talking about Meteor B. Dragon but the real MVP was Skull Knight with Mercury and HELLA equip spells to beat over Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon 😂

Fuck yea, next up is duelest of the roses !!

[@shadowbandit147]

Now do Capsule Monster Colosseum for an even weirder way to play yugioh

[@Rowano3]

My lord, I thought Reshef of Destruction was bad, but then this...

[@stripedmilo]

I've watched hours of this game played on streams and never knew there were monster animation cutscenes. Everyone always skips them or turns them off

[@VforVictory00]

That battle animation reminds me of Digimon Digital Card Battle on PS1

[@gododoof]

Awesome game.

[@FuMiO02110]

I like both games but no way, Digimon does it way better (maybe because they try to make the monster "realistic" in Yu-Gi-Oh)
