You don't use synergy attacks because sometimes they miss!? O...kay but pretty sure that's true of every attack in the game.

Love FFV challenge runs. Hope you do more

I would like to add that bacchus can't learn the critical hit battle skill. You can give his weapon "increased critical hit chance" with synthesis. The only characters that can learn critical hit are edge, reimi, meracle, and arumat. This does seem like an interesting idea for a challenge run and I might try it myself one of these days.

1. great vid, as a avid 12 lover i feel u represented every aspect of the game great 2. there are enouth restrictions to make the run challenging and a lot of em can be very engaging and fun to do even multiple times while trying different approaches 3. if the vanilla game is not challenging enouth, we have 2 amazing randomizers for the game that can be found on nexus mods, that can change the view of certain things or even modefy stats etc in a way that the game becomes absolutely unfair and low key unbeatable (example, boss that got boosted to 500k HP starting to throw balance motes after reaching Crit HP, whos damage cant be lowered or negated for 300k+ dmg AoE, that could still be defeated by abusing ranged weapons in order to position the party in a way that never more then 1 person is hit by it at a time)

8:20 But which combinaison of job make us learn the most things ?

i want more game with the gambit system (bonus if it's in 3 D world)

i love the concept !

Wait - are any of the caves linear? ;) Great video, I just finished Ff1 for the first time ever (have no clue about story or gameplay so very exciting) and was instantly curious for single class playthroughs and monk was the one I was most keen. Moving onto ff2 now. Once again great video!

Congrats bro! I’m so glad they added a manual option for this

Great video, good quality on all fronts! The reason I found your run was because I was nerd raging on the combat system myself, being annoyed with the same things you were along with a general discontent with how materia was implemented compared to in remake. No matter what setup of materia I had, it always felt as if I was missing something that would allow me to properly engage with the mechanics of the bosses. Whenever I was unable to utilize the right magic to pressure a boss or stun them or w/e, my fights resembled yours in a lot of ways (albeit more sustainable healing and higher damage/defense). Two points I haven't seen mentioned: 1: I wondered if it was a viable option to use accessories to get access to certain magic spells or if this was against the spirit of the challenge. 2: In the fight with Sephiroth, I always took out the wing using magic as it seemed immune to physical damage. Anyways! Liked & subscribed, I look forward to seeing more interesting content from you! P.S.: For what it's worth, I find you have a pleasurable voice to listen too. <3 Have a nice day.

I’ve finished the video! I liked the combat of this game. I know when I started the game I preferred the remakes but it was just little things that were different I thought. But then again this is all I’ve been playing for the past month so idk. I kinda forgot what it was that I liked more/ found different about the combat lol

Congrats!

I've beaten ff1 NES with this party many times. Looks like they made it tougher in this version. GG!

You say you spend “a lot of time leveling” before Chaos and then you enter the battle at the same levels you were for Tiamat Something fishy

I really feel like the pixel remaster changed just enough small things to make it a game that new players can honestly enjoy. Being able to buy Ethers so cheaply makes literally any party viable, which is rad

You should try and 100% Final Fantasy 1 Dawn of Souls with 1 Red Wizard, that way you can get Exit and get the Masamune and Exit out, then you can get the Ultima Weapon after breathing Death gaze (or whatever its name is on floor 40 of the final optional dungeon), then Haste and Temper up and crush Chaos! You don't have Curaja even as a Red Wizard, but Curaga and some grinding on the Dragon Zombies in the Castle of Ordeals for Megalixirs will help out tremendously for Chaos, not really the boss in floor 40 of the final optional dungeon since once you Blink up 2 times, you can heal up and cast either Protect or Protera a bunch, and then he goes from dealing 700+ damage, to like less than 50 damage, and you have such good magic defense, that it won't really land Dispel and instant death magic on you to one shot you, especially when you're at lv99.

ff12 hard mode is unlocked by beating the trial, you start lvl1 and stay lvl1 and it's quite difficult

Great video! It’s been hard to find challenge runs for this, the rebirth. Anytime you search ff7 it’s all OG. Thanks!

I bought this a while ago, but haven't gotten to it yet. Hoping it'll go out of early access while I'm busy with other games in the backlog. Looks really cool though!

You wouldn't be able to use Meteor anyway, it's a world 3 spell.

Can you 100% Final Fantasy 1 with 3 thiefs and a "TREASURE HUNTER" -Locke

The algorithm knows I like red mages. Here's a comment and like

Dude ur the best for putting out this video

Gotta respect Doomtrain dedication to hold the ground in any big figth

Without spoiling anything, there MAY be a game changing way to beat neo warden. There are stuffs involving quintar (I won't delve further than this) that can benefit this run. Either way, that was a good run you did there. There are definitely TOO few people covering this gem, it's damning.

The church priest is not a necromancer. He is reviving your fallen comrades, not making them undead.

Yep, i can confidently say that you are underleveld, my recomended level for this part is 37-40 but grinding that can take a while specially for level 38, 39 and 40 But overall, great video! I had the same idea but i dont think i can apply it better then you did XD Take my like and sub

blessed algorith randomly brought this video.

can you do some challenge on a Dragon quest Monster ?

at the end game, you could usse stuff that buff sagesse/intel for the hereo heal more ^^

you do the challenge more esealy than the previous gyu i watched do it.

Why T yler S mith but AM in the logo ?

after FF12 and DQ8, DQ11 is my 3rd prefered RPG ^^

I Thinking about playing with a team of 3 Mages. Red Mage White Mage Black Mage 2nd Black Mage due to low HP and Defense, gets k.oed on purpose by putting in on the top, If i remember right, 2 characters in the top, will be aimed at more, while, 3 slot gets targeted less , while 4 slot bottom gets targeted far less. Not sure if that's a thing in the Pixel ReMastered.

Another top tier indie game, lets go!

First Tiamat is weak to Scourge btw. Pixel Remaster might be different though.

Good review, love the game so far. Was already impressed with its exploration, then when I dropped into an area below the prison (which was *already* deep below the hub town) I really understood just how crazy it was. I have been trying multiple runs with different randomization options. They almost all provide fun combos, but the more random you make things the more other options may get worse. The starting of the game becomes a lot more swingy too, both in terms of challenge and fun. I could write a whole damn essay on the them, but instead I'll just say that many options need their own "Half" versions and extra subdivisions, and whatever makes changes to classes need to be able to take their stats into account. Because (at least on the Switch) its way too easy to get incoherent results. Which is a kind of Fun sure but I feel there is an unfilled gap between that and Default.

What kind of challenge run

It's "thieves", not "thiefs". Otherwise, great video 😊

*Slams head through wall.* DID SOMEONE SAY ZODIAC AGE? CAN I INTEREST YOU IN 800 HOURS OF EXPERIENCE? HAHAHAHAHAA I'VE BEATEN THIS GAME WITH EVERY CLASS, AND INBETWEEN I NEED THERAPY!

Ok so, this is the game I've played the most of even (across the three versions) so I know a little bit about it... First off, it's not entirely true that ALL content is the same across platforms for TZA -- specifically, the PS4 and PC version of "New Game+" differs from Switch and XBox in that the later makes you bring in all your stuff from the previous run like a 'proper' NG+ whereas the former you 'merely' start at level 90, making it more properly 'stong mode' (which is what it's called in Japanese, NG- is of course 'weak mode'). The other difference is that on PC only you can start NG+ and NG- from the beginning whenever you want -- other platforms you need to beat the game and trial mode respectively. PC also has boosters to get max Gil and max LP the others don't have. Also you got a point wrong -- you can't use four characters at once, outside of when a guest is with you. As for a solo challenge the large majority of the game when you consider side stuff is available for anyone solo so it's not a big deal to choose who you want there. I find it odd you find it not replayable from a challenge runner perspective given it looks like you used a mod which......not only is very strange as seemingly the first challenge run (which seems to be two characters attack only with you controlling the passive healer?) but that you use that as a basis for determining if it's replayable. I've done a myriad of challenge type runs for this game, just because one might be easier or harder doesn't diminish other types of runs.

I play a game for about a month and then shelve it the rest of the year so I actually have to relearn some mechanics. This is how I normally combat the, "Been there, done that" dilemma. Yeah, you get back into riding the bike quickly but you actually have to relearn or remember some things. That said, I "think" it's almost time for a ZA run but I have to recheck my save file to be sure. I don't like checking too often because it might cause me to want to play it sooner, taking away from the semi artificial freshness lol

great vid, thanks

Glad to see you covering Lost Sphear! One of three games from Tokyo RPG Factory, the other two being I am Setsuna and Oninaki. Definitely an underrated game, and an even underrated game developer.
