I agree, the run is invalid because you couldn't supplex the train! IT IS TRADITION!!

[@technothehedgehog203]

43:36 the reason why Celes wasn't grabbed by the tentacles was that the tentacles need to first put SLOW on the party member before they can wrap them since she had auto haste she couldn't be slowed so she couldn't be grabbed (this is what I learned when watching a let's play on SGB)

[@xS3T0x]

That's dope.

[@Zorothegallade-rpg]

"Japanese eroge writers hate this one simple trick!"

[@veghesther3204]

Also ​ the grab attack is physical so even without Auto Haste if you use Vanish to avoid being grabbed then you can't be grabbed at all even though SLOW/Bio magic will remove the status.

[@rpproductions6241]

Another fantastic challenge! I always love seeing how you tackle weird roadblocks. The tentacles never take Celes cause she can't be slowed. The tentacles' weird gimmick is to cast slow, then grab party members.

[@ArcadiaVyse]

Haven't seen it mentioned here - if so and I missed it then apologies - but for future note, to get the Genji Glove you don't have to refuse three times, you can refuse once then talk to one of the returners in the hideout and they'll give you the glove straight up - you can then accept and get that version of the scene - though you won't get the Gauntlet still. Learned that from watching speedruns of the game.

[@joeb5958]

1:10:00 isn’t the second phase supposed to represent purgatory. So maybe that wasn’t a soft lock but you truly wound up locked in purgatory forever!

[@SailorMusicCat]

I would be ded from the stress but that's part of what makes it amazing to watch! Congrats on the challenge completion and can't wait to see what you have in store for us in the upcomkng New Year! Happy Holidays!

[@SuperSebastienC]

@RagnarAlvarrGaming 43:32 Celes having Hermes sandals(auto-haste) is the reason the tentacle "can't seem to grab her" since the tentacles NEED to inflict slow first before seizing a character.

[@Darkeyedmiitopian]

Not being able to suplex the train feels wrong. It’s not the same.

[@veghesther3204]

On a LLG it won't 1 shot the train boss I needed Sabin at lvs over 30 to do that.

[@kyieneedssleeep]

Really glad to see a challenge on one of my favorite games idk if this is true but my father said that starting from ff6, the game is more focused on the story which means that the characters require less experience for the fights

[@eduardobarros3986]

You don't have to grind 6 levels with early goblins and wolves just to tackle the first dungeon anymore, but there's still a whole lot of battling to be had.

[@katieheys3007]

Been excited for this since the community post! Definite Christmas present, thank you! :)

[@JP54704]

Fun fact: In Final Fantasy 6, most bosses don't give any Exp at all to begin with, and since they make for most of the mandatory battles, there's very little Exp that is forced to be ontained. This means that even on the SNES version, with some careful planning, a Mininal Level Run is possible, and has been done multiple times in the past. Most of the cast is Level 6 by the end of the game, and even outliers like Gau and Mog, are at mjost at Level 13, that's how low it gets. Not only that, but poeple has also mixed this challenge with a Natural Magic Only ruleset (No Espers, and no equips that teaches magic are allowed). So yeah, even before watching this video, I already know that the challenge is more than possible.

[@TM-xc4yn]

Do you think that (with a mod to reduce levels and exp) a Level 1 challenge would be possible? The first Ultros fight would be a nightmare, but could it be done?

[@RadishDoctor]

@@TM-xc4yn At level 1 no way. There's no gear or setups early that would prevent total party wipe to something like Ultros hit-all physical. Banon barely lives it while defending at level 2

[@Hyreia]

True Knight on Edgar, you get it from The Returner's Hideout. Put Banon into low HP before the Ultros fight. He'll tank the hit for Banon. Now let's see how you solve this. Edit: Gooood.

[@henrique-hn4ic]

Really love your challenge runs, even in this case when i havent seen anything about the game. Would be great if you could make one about library of ruina, but its just a personal request

[@RainySoulOT]

Omg ive been lookibng for challange vids like these W

[@Megidolaon999]

The opening of this game is unforgettable. My 2nd favourite SNES game!

[@xxomega702buzzalini8]

I am used to doing this on the snes, I was not aware the pixel remaster had a feature to lockout exp gains. In wol the only exp you were able to get was Opera House rats (you can avoid them all with many resets) and the Mag rollers in Magiteck Research. It also Limited the AP you gain cause you can only learn on the Velt and Intangars on Triangle isle. The boss at the end of the cart that Cid puts you on you had the right idea with vanish and party of Edgar,Gau,Lock, I use Kirin than Phantom vanish Gau Marshal Edgar drill and Lock was there to support with Items and steal tempest.

[@Mothuzad]

The encounters before Ultros 1 with Banon are far easier to survive if Edgar spams Noiseblaster. Many non-boss encounters are easier this way.

[@veghesther3204]

BUT without gaining levels a SINGLE tentacle attack still hits HIM in the back row for like 250 damage ON the SNES/PS1 version and at lv 10 he has LESS HP Then that and still won't survive that attack at lv 10 in the Pixel Remaster in the back row either.

[@TardustheToasty]

Really good watch, thank you very much!

[@mehmetjj9163]

21:13 bro what?? Ragnar is from Germany 😮 hallo Bruder großer fan hier

[@NightVisionPhantom]

I want there to be a FF6 No Fight, No Magic, No Items run where you can only use Special Abilities. For Terra being only able to use Morph, you can circumvent this by equipping the Dragoon Boots for Jump. Celes is stuck with Runic. You'd be relying on healing skills like Chakra and White Wind. You'd also have to be running from most battles until you get Edgar using Tools.

[@Ottriman]

There's sections early in the game where you're forced to use characters with non-damage special abilities. Like Locke and Celes vs Tunnel Armor, with only steal and runic you could not do any damage.

[@NightVisionPhantom]

​@@OttrimanYou would have to get the Black Belt from Sabin's scenario and use just counterattacks only (you're not using the Fight command). Tunnel Armor has a 33% chance to physically attack so Celes keeps using Runic while Locke stands there with a thumb up his butt waiting to get hit and counterattack.

[@veghesther3204]

Or Open the FREE Bolt rod chest then and break it for Bolt 2 killing Tunnel armor instantly with it BUT EVEN AT LV 99 I never had Traveler do 9999 damage I barely had it do even 2000 to 2500 PER USE with 14x lv 99 party membrs and it costs too much MP for it to do 9999 damage your better off on a LLG using the rages for it instead.

[@NightVisionPhantom]

@@veghesther3204 Well in the challenge I'm proposing, the Item command can't be used.

[@mindlessmeat4055]

This is by far my favorite game. Not my favorite final fantasy battle system though. I just replayed this less than a year ago...and now i want to replay again.

[@chummertb]

Very fun video!

[@MoonlapseOpethian]

Try this with the Brave New World mod next

[@nimbus3218]

The changes in attack/esper names from the original is messing with my head.

[@mindlessmeat4055]

The dragon in the opera house is easily defeated by equipping gaia gear on everyone.

[@veghesther3204]

Though Edgar/Cyan can't equip it BUT it does have 1 physical hit single target move that on a LLG kills you instantly since you can't use Vanish Quake will remove Vanish even if you absorb it.

[@TheMoogleKing93]

Love some classic FF representation! SNES FF best FF.

[@craigsands2567]

I mean you ain't wrong, but I think the GBA versions of the games can be slightly better by adding new content and increasing the difficulty of the game which forces even more strategic planning then the original SNES version

[@TheBlackSeraph]

The Pixel Remaster versions are prone to ATB softlocking in very weird and peculiar ways. Casting confuse on the toads in Istory Falls in FF5 will have the same effect when they get transformed into red dragons.

[@RadishDoctor]

When in doubt, just farm the veldt until you're rich

[@familhagaudir8561]

Have you heard about our Lords and Saviors, Blonde Terra Glitch Clones? ( Speedrun absurdly breaking the game, no fighting so no xp.

[@WhiteWingedNightmare]

This was dope.

[@nimbus3218]

Why didn’t you use the moogle charm to avoid all random battles after getting Mog back in the world of ruin?

[@sweetjohnny8211]

He's playing the Pixel Remaster, which allows you to turn random encounters on and off, essentially making the Moogle charm obsolete.

[@veghesther3204]

Correct same with FF8's PS4 remaster it has a NO encounters cheat which makes Enc None from the Diablos Esper worthless reason being while FF8 on disc 2 DOES have Multi Party dungeons the no encounters cheat applies to BOTH party the Enc non effect of FF8 works like the Moogle charm so it only works on the party that is using Enc Non and not both parties via the DISC 2 Prison area.

[@nimbus3218]

But he specifically mentioned running from random encounters which is why I asked.

[@sweetjohnny8211]

@nimbus3218 I realized that after I commented random encounters were turned on. Especially after he said he turned GP and AP collection rate up.

[@yes.ma_am]

Oh my, was this a different run?

[@LloydBannings75]

I will never understand whats fun about doing things like this

[@B0redom13]

Ff6 is a masterpiece.

[@veghesther3204]

Intangirs on a NO lv up game 1 shot the party I couldn't even KILL them AT LV 50 either.

[@veghesther3204]

Yes you can will I attempt it even in the Pixel remaster under 0 exp HELL NO.

[@Mihomiti]

Gogo>Rage>Traveler?

[@charmanderfan1]

I'm gonna call it here before I actually watch the video, Setzer is going to wipe the floor with the game

[@theinsanegamer1024]

Already tried this in the pixel remaster. Reset like, 8 times, and can definitively say the answer is: Not really. The general dude, forgot his name (Bannon, just saw), dies in the Ultros fight, and you lack the power to beat him before Ultros attacks him with Tentacle. I tried at least 8 times and the absolute minimum I saw him do was *exactly* his max health, in the back row, While defending. Legit was *exactly* his max HP. If he had even 1 more HP it would be theoretically doable, but nope, literally exactly minimum damage. I just opted to level him once since he isn't a permanent party member, and the exp needed for him to level is less than the EXP needed for the others to level, so it wasn't any issue.
