Can confirm, I cheated for the stats. The description of the video says cheats were used, but I figured I could give a bit more context here: I spent maybe 30 minutes going through boards because I was bored, then I got bored of that, so you can see Wakka's stats aren't maxed out. When I discovered what happens if you kill the flan, I laughed so hard at it, and I just had to share. 😆 What a crazy, in-depth video! Loved it! 100% subbing 😇

Patience is not necessarily required if you decide to use save wizard for the PS4 version on the other hand if you’re using PS2 then you could use code breaker to actually do for yourself the choice is yours to make however for me I chose because I’ve already beaten this game to use save wizard to edit my safe file so that I could go through the game and enjoy the story as opposed to spending time grinding and I would recommend that you choose very carefully if you decide to use that particular computer program to edit your save I have discovered that in some of the Final Fantasy games if you are looking to max out your levels there is a way to do that very early in the game and Final Fantasy 12 is a perfect example either the remaster or the basic version all you have to do is go to a certain area and if you are in critical condition at the time and you put the game on slow and wait that every time you press the X button it’ll pause your gameplay and you can feed this particular enemy a phoenix down and you will be jumping up levels at supersonic speed however you can’t do that with Final Fantasy X but this is just one of the things you can do with Final Fantasy 12 Again the choice of how you plays up to you and what you decide to do with your saves is also up to you have fun

I believe these may be the first documented Water Flan kills, but way back in the day (probably years before the GameFAQs thread you mentioned), there was also someone who I remember claimed to have done both this fight and the Mi'ihen Raldo tutorial -- a player by the username of KADFC, pretty prominent in the challenge scene and known as a heavy grinder. The question would then be: did he do the leveling manually or with some cheating device? I don't know the answer to that, but if anyone was going to spend dozens of hours farming Piranhas, it would be him. Of course, those threads have probably long disappeared from the GFAQs message boards. And to begin with, I'm not sure if those posts were on threads specifically pertaining to the Water Flan/Raldo tutorials or if they were discussed on one of the dozens of challenge threads (which was where KADFC was more active). In any case, it's nice to see video of it for the first time, I had never actually seen it :) Good stuff compiling all the info and putting it together so well, was an interesting watch for sure!

To actually hit it with an overkill you would need to grind 99 sphere levels and my friend did it but the problem is that it took him 250 hours to grind those levels which basically means that he used to control with auto fire on PS2 which you cannot do on the PS4 so you have three choices one you can sit there and physically work for 250 hours to do the PS4 version or you can see if you can get a modified control for PS4 and remap the button so you can auto fire the battles and then you let it sit for a couple of days while the system actually works it out for you because you’re basically swimming in circles for that many hours and if you have a control that has auto fire on it on the PS4 then you could probably do that. Remember though that if you actually do something like this and you don’t wish to modify your save then the only way to do it is by grinding 99 sphere levels which means your system is gonna be on for days and you can always do that on the PS 52 which means that your system would be on for multiple days on the same game so you better have two systems if you plan on playing something else The other way to handle the situation is to modify your save and you can do that with the PS4 version of this game and save wizard in the end the choice is yours on how to do this but it is possible to do it the only thing I would recommend is that if you do that you’re gonna have a lot of empty spheres and saw my recommendation would be that as soon as you get a teleport sphere for Titus you take him back to the beginning and run through it again but that means that you’re gonna have to get all the way to the com lands and then teleport yourself back to the beginning of the sphere grade and go through it again which means you’re gonna have to grind which means you’re gonna need triple overdrive and AAA P which means you’re gonna have to go through a lot of hell but if you have the patience and you feel like you want to grind and then you could do that the choice is yours to make However it is possible to do it both ways and I’ve done it both ways and so is my friend however I don’t upload videos to KZfaq or anywhere else to prove that I did it so you only have my word as proof

I kinda wished I knew about this “challenge”, I noticed Valefor did more damage in my second play through and the only thing I did different was grind some fish at the start. So I made a new save after beating the game a second time and that save I would kill fish for like 10-30 minutes at a time for a year and had like 10,000 gil and decide to move with about 50 hours played. I verified my theory because Valefor was hitting for 9,999 with basic attack. Just had to protect Tidus from Tonberry’s karma attack.

I’ve been watching this video and the person or the moderator who moderated this video basically said some thing that caught my attention. Essentially you have two ways to play this game and one way is to grind out the hundred hours or so so that you can get yourself to a level high enough that you could knock the flying out quickly in one hit Kels the only issue I would have with it is that you’re gonna have to teleport yourself back to the beginning of the levels and you’re gonna need AAA P weapon to get yourself 99 levels before you leave the calm lands. The reason I say that is because you need to fill up every sphere on your sphere grid with different spheres for his points strength and all the other stats that go on there and that way you can have maximum stats when you get to the last city on this game that way when you fight your final battle you’re not a weakling. The second way to play this game is to use a save editor program to either give yourself all items and all key items or maximum stats for all your players or the characters that you have control of and for some people that’s gonna be the way they want to play and for other people they are very happy grinding For me I’m over 40 years old and I am at a point where I do not like to grind my way to victory unless I can do it on my terms and so I have set up multiple saves with multiple ways to play and I decided that it was imperative and important to do things a certain way so I decided that it was reasonable for me to utilize other means to get myself to certain levels. Not every game is like Final Fantasy X or any of the other Final Fantasy games that are off-line only play and so I find this one to be a very interesting game and it’s storyline to be very interesting but as far as grinding goes I’m over 40 and I don’t have time to sit there for hours and grind so I’m at that point. How are you choose to play is entirely up to you and I admire those people who feel like they have the time to sit around for 100 hours and grind games like this to a level where you can one shot kill everything unfortunately it takes hours to do in most cases and that’s if you’re honest about it

I'm pretty sure a 1 hit KO challenge is impossible as some enemies like Zu can withstand a 99999 damage attack, only to fall to the ground & require another hit. I'm not even sure a multi-hitting overdrive like Blitz Ace or Attack Reels gets around that.

It's not possible anyway because even a max damage attack reel can only do 1,199,988 damage and there are quite a number of enemies with more than 1,200,000 hp

That's good and all only Yuna can't be used against Shinryu and I'm sure IT has more then 1.2 million HP.

If the one person truly is trying to take out every enemy in a single attack, then it'd be impossible to beat any enemy in 1 attack (that isn't Zanmato obviously) with more than 1,599,984 HP. The attack with the most hits is Anima's Oblivion and assuming every hit deals 99,999 damage, that's the best you get. That means that anything with 1,599,985 HP or more needs at least 2 damage-dealing attacks to take down.

wonder if the 1-hit revolves around beelining to yojimbo asap and in the interim figuring out how to get yuna summon's overdrives to oneshot everything when possible.

Just a minor nitpick when you go through formula and end up with a range, it can be very confusing if you're just using a hyphen as it looks like a minus; maybe just write 'to' instead, or have two calculations for the upper and lower limits?

this reminds me of a very old video from World of Warcraft: the early version of the Paladin's "vengeance" skill had NO limit on how much energy it could hold, and it built up energy when he took damage. so a clever player spent hours fighting small enemies, using daggers, and then: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l75ifah8u9SRhWg.html

Why did they create such a convoluted formula, I have to wonder? If I recall correctly, earlier FFs, including FF9, used much simpler damage formulas.

Neat story, and I look forward to checking out other videos on your channel! By the way, the ph in "sphere" is pronounced as an f. You're saying "spear", when the word is pronounced like "fear" with an s at the beginning.
