      I did actually use a few of the stray items against the final boss, you can see some of it in the footage, but I didn't think it was worth mentioning. It was easier to farm 99 wind attacks than to get to the end of the final boss and have to run all the way back, you know?

    Safer Sephiroth's HP increases based on your actions against Jenova Synthesis and Bizarro Sephiroth. Each character at level 99 adds 30k HP and a handful of other stat upgrades to Safer, casting Knights of the Round on Jenova adds 80k HP, and killing Bizarro's head adds 100 HP each time up to a max of 24,900.

    Additional encounters still provide some gil as compensation, and some areas have different items, so it's not always about reducing the number of encounters to save on item usage.

      From my vague recollection, the only damage items you can't access without Steal and Morph are ones in areas you can't revisit. I'm fairly sure everything is either buyable, droppable, or battle arena-able.

    Great challenge video. I love the branching timelines of the different possibilities. Wicked. Suggestion: FFXII Items only. It’s a shit start, but if you get Diamond Armlet from the Trial mode, you can keep Knot of Rust in stock and farm for damaging items from enemies or the Bazaar. The big W is Balance motes and bubble belts, but there’s also Dark Matter for one shot kills or Scathe motes for super high area damage. Might be a shitty run, but could be wicked if you could find damage avenues early.

      After some research, the Diamond Armlet is actually a terrible idea for this run. It changes the items in chests, usually removing the super good items and leaving Gil and Knot of Rust. Not as good as most of the alternatives.

      And stat scaling on most damaging items. So it’s not just a math problem. You can actually have fun with this one. The grind might suck, but if you fine a good chest near a map transition, just running back and forth to stock up shouldn’t be too bad.

    Incidentally, I dont know what the cost would be, but you could press the alarm button in Junon (where the soldiers are practicing in the long hallway going down). It spawns very tough enemies but they drop lots of money, and items too I think. Not sure if that could help but... oh well, the more you know.

The HP Plus thing was more because it wasn't offensive in any way, a wholly defensive materia, but W-Item legitimately defaces bosses.

    When you get good at it it’s probably the best healing class, and can even get infinite elixir with enough experience, but srs it’s the longest skill to learn in the game. You can learn whole jobs in the time it takes to learn infinite Elixir.
