First ever challenge video on the channel. If you enjoy this type of content please considering leaving a subscribe, leaving a thumbs up and leave a comment down below. I plan on doing way more of these together with my LP's in the future.
Everyone knows about Final Fantasy 10's battle system. Switch party members in and out depending on your circunstances making it one of the best and possibly more tactical of all Final Fantasy battle systems. So what if we said "nahhhh" and threw that out of the window?? Today we are going to find out if we can beat the whole game with 1 character, of course that character will have to be the main man Tidus.

I think Rikku-only would be far too easy unless you put yourself under an overdrive or customisation limit. Rikku is considered to be the most essential character on no-sphere grid runs she is that broken. Auron and Lulu are probably the hardest. I know some might say Kimarhi but his overdrives do open many options.

@LootGoblin20 6 ай бұрын

You say that but she can only attack with items. I will assume that it will be easier than tidus but much more grindy. Lulu will be by far the hardest with these rules, she is so slow and has no hp. Gotta try it out at some point

this reminds me of a challenge i saw on the ffx forums back in the day called smthn like "lulu day lulu time" where u use expert grid and put every single character on lulu's grid for the entire game. i never tried it but it always seemed fun, albeit definitely less hard than this run. all rikkus is super fun tho bc steal and use genuinely give you so many options it can be fun to just try to item mode your way thru the whole game. man i love this game sorry for rambling in your comment section

@thexenocide6013 6 ай бұрын

@@LootGoblin20 tbh items only is basically a nsgnano run but you have survival stats and more than one damage dealer, it's fun but can be a bit grindy getting shining gems for overdrive sin because you can't get 99 of everything useful via monster arena. so prolly only dedicate if you're willing to sit and steal from the omega ruins varunas for a while unless you make concessions to allow for bribe to be used. this is all based on my experience tho so i could be super unoptimal compared to you since you do nsg dark aeon stuff so you definitely know your stuff

Nice run. Kinda have to point this out because it's a kinda funny misunderstanding btw, at 29:50 you talk of using an SOS-NulTide armor to make Tidus hit himself out of Confusion safely with the Brotherhood, but this actually does not work, and the video itself shows that. An attack getting blocked by a Nul-spell is equivalent to it completely missing, it will not remove Confusion, Sleep, or inflict any statuses or anything. Fortunately for you, it does still block the damage, and Yunalesca's Hellbiter took care of the Confusion right after.
