Hey primal, i had a little crazy thought. How a bout a 1 Gf=1 character Run. Like, u can just use 1 GF on 1 active member the whole game along. I thought, there are 16 GFs, how to divine them in 4 quarters with 4 chooseable GF for 1 person. You can only junction one, when u fill up the quarter. So 3 of ur GF quarters are in use. Could be a funny Run. How do you think? Maybe someone add some ideas into...

"Eden is one of only 3 things in the game that can break the damage cap." This is not correct. There are 5: 1) Eden GF Summon 2) Shockwave Pulsar Blue Magic 3) Level 100 Cactuar GF Summon 4) Kamikaze Ability 5) Chocobocle Chocobo World Ability I don't blame anyone for forgetting/not knowing about #5, but there's really no excuse for whatever the 4th one that was ignored was, especially if you are going to make definitive declarations of fact like "only X many things in the entire game that can do Y."

This may be something for a futures Challenge, Beating FF12 Zodiac ags with only 1 character used, (you can use any character you want upon unlocking all, tho I guess the most interesting to use for this would be Fran since she has the lowest overall stats)(You can also spice this up yourself if it may be to easy, anyways would love to see a ff12 challenge run :) ) Or if true madness is due, FF12 Zodiac age all characters 9999HP and 999MP upon lvl99 (which is a HEAVY grind due to how lvl up HP+MP stat gain is handled).

FF8 will always have a special place in my heart. My 13 year old me first played it in 2013, probably took like a week to complete, which to this day I still have no idea how I did it despite not knowing a single word of English back then. The only "walkthrough" I had at the time was from reading notebook pages that my overly enthusiastic close friend wrote down detailing where to go, what to farm, boss move set ... etc in a very comical way. I'll never forget how my younger me totally had a crush on Rinoa when I first saw her at the dance scene with Squall, how I summoned Shiva more than any other GFs because of how sexy she is, or the "emptiness" I felt as the credit draws when realizing that the journey has come to an end. Seeing you playing one of my favorite games always brings me joy and I hope you will continue to revisit ff8 from time to time.

To sum up if it's possible.... I'm pretty sure most of us did it this way if you were a kid when the game came out. Personally I remember telling my dad my GF's were all close to level 100 and I was only level 20. He was pretty confused and this was of course the time before low level play was the way to go, but ya kid me definitely set up a great endgame that was so simple because Summons gave you at least 2 hp bars and did massive damage... they are pure win 🏆

@Primalliquid92 8 ай бұрын

level 100 summons and party members at level 20 is impossible because they still require normal EXP like the characters do

@Primalliquid92 woah awesome to hear from you 😅 I may be off on the levels but I remember training on the beach running quetzalcoatl as the only thing killing and then fighting the Trex with Shiva before ever going to Dollet and since the Xp boost on kills only went to the GF (and as a kid letting the other party member die to save time on button masshing) But your right I could totally be off. Was pretty sure maxing out a GF was about 50,000 XP and the Player was around 100,000 XP so only using GFs to get the final hit (with the Xp boost for last hit) and letting the other party member die I feel like the numbers might not have been too far off 😅 Honor to hear from you though, you've helped me complete so many games and try out my favorites in brand new ways 🙏 thank you so much

@marginalhero4783 Жыл бұрын

This is pretty much how I played through the game the first time when it came out. I didn't understand the system at the time and found GF were the only thing that did decent damage. I wasn't as strict as this but for the most part it was a GF only run due to my ignorance at the time. The hardest fight was when Rinoa was stuck in Adel. I almost rage quit the game as a kid. This run here was much smoother than my first frustrating play of the game. I still play this regular every few years or so, because it's a lot of fun. Frustrating plot holes aside, it doesn't ruin the game.

My first ever playthrough of FF8 I relied heavily on summons. They were the biggest, easiest way to do damage in most cases. And this was on release so no guides, no Eden nothing. I didn't have end game weapons. Really didn't understand the game well. But I got to Ultimecia and could not beat her no matter what I did. I ended up scrapping that whole save and started the game over and built my characters to never need to summon a GF again because of that last boss fight. Walked in with Aura and everyone's best weapons and limit breaks and just ended her. It was rather cathartic.

Very surprised you didn't use the No-J strategy for unlocking the first ability in Ultimecia's castle - a low level Tri-Point has extremely low max HP, low enough that a high level Gilgamesh Excalibur can almost kill it in 1 hit. You have considerably better survivability options than a No-J game does, so even if you need Gilgamesh to attack 10 times it would still be super fast and easy. This would've been way easier than Return Damaging Red Giant for hours.
