    The thing I love about Vaan over all the FF MCs is literally how painfully stupidly normal he is. He accidentally fell into a plot to take down an evil empire. He was just living his life. It’s such compelling writing from my viewpoint. I get that he seems like such a tagalong, but he’s probably the most genuine character they’ve ever had.

    • @RPGchallengeruns
      @RPGchallengeruns  Год назад +36

      100% YES!! That's what makes Vaan so relatable - none of this "the chosen one" cliché.

    • @Evnyofdeath
      @Evnyofdeath Год назад +13

      Vaan's weird position in 12's plot is because he was only created because of Corporate interference. They originally wanted Basch to be the MC but Square's higher ups were afraid that teens wouldn't be able to relate to him so they shifted the PoV to Balthier but were again told he was too old. So they created Vaan as a kid who gets swept up into the conflict.

    A challenge run of an RPG always feels like a whole new level of challenge. I mean the patience you have to have to complete something like this that probably takes _insane_ preparations and patience to get through.

    They did buff Wither and Addle, though, since they can now affect any enemy in the game. Wither in particular turns Yiazmat and Omega into jokes.

    I started watching this channel through your Persona challenge runs and when I went to look at the other videos on your channel, I saw Vann and got a little excited. This is because my first Final Fantasy game was 12. However, when I started watching the video, I realized it wasn't the same as how I remembered it. Turns out, I played its sequel: Revenant Wings. Needless to say, I was a tiny bit disappointed, but I was interested to learn about the prequel to the game I played.
    Overall, this was a great video, and it would be nice if you could do some kind of challenge run with Revenant Wings.

    Was just scrolling the comments after watching this and just noticed you're a smaller channel. I thought for sure with how professional this video was you'd have at the minimum 100k. Great stuff man, keep it up.

    I'm not trying to discredit anything because this is an insane challenge on its own but 9:25 in Dustia farming you do abuse the Zone Out Glitch to farm him, the actual way would've been to zone out 2 areas to make him respawn properly although the time spent farming him would've skyrocketed LOL

    18:35 SO true! I had always played tank or healer in other MMO's, so in FF14, I wanted to be a DPS, so I went DRG. Back in 2.x, DRG combos required the positional to even advance to the next step, and tanks loved spinning stuff because "then they'll hit me less". Yelled at many-a tank.

    Yeah, the transaction with Jules to get into the city I would say is not a violation of the rules, since 1) It's a mandatory transaction and unskippable, and 2) It's not a shop transaction, nor are you purchasing anything that will make the game easier for you to complete. It's entirely to progress the gameplay.

  • @sonnitude

    Love your challenges, hope to see more from you! If you are already doing final fantasy games, I would love to see a run of final fantasy 7 using only the materia that lets you learn and use enemy skills. The only issue is you don’t get it until a bit into the story, and also can’t really learn anything until you leave the first major city for the first time, so I’m not sure if it would even be feasible as a challenge run.

    • @RPGchallengeruns
      @RPGchallengeruns  Год назад +3

      That's actually a really interesting suggestion! FF7 is definitely on the "to-do" list!

    • @GiantButterKnife
      @GiantButterKnife Год назад

      I actually did that run years ago. The general consensus is that it’s a “no materia” run until you have access to the first enemy skill, then it’s all about managing MP

    Fun challenge. This is one of my fav games and quite underappreciated in RUclips content....
    It's been so long since I've just played thru the normal game vs power leveling or using skips, it was fun to just see you play thru with this quest!

    • @RPGchallengeruns

    Done alot of challenge runs myself of this game. Glad to see you just didnt get the dev debug weapons like the Seitengrat and breeze through it. have done my own solo run and its interesting to see how other people do some of the bosses. The mimic queen really is a pain! my strategy was to grind holy motes for 3 hours before going in T_T

    Nice video mate, really like RPG challenge runs so I'll be glad to follow your channel. This one was very entertaining! I'm a sucker for brits suffering, talking about twats and TV loicenses so what more can I ask?
    I thought the music was a bit too loud but it's only in a couple clips.

    I wanted to join the discord but the links in both the channel about section and the description seem to be expired, you should update them to be infinite links!
    But anyways good job on the channel so far, I love the way you talk in the vids

  • @CrankYxMankeY
    @CrankYxMankeY Год назад +5

    Youve inspired me to do a run doing the opposite. No spending money and solo still, but only magic and techniks, no attacks OR items! Going to see if it's possible. So far I know that you have to play through the rogue tomato and initial rat fight with Vaan in order to start using magic, as he needs 15 LP to unlock fire. From there, no attacks. Playing now, about to fight the flans :) awesome video, I hope you make plenty of FF challenge videos, it seems as though they're pretty popular vonpared to the Persona stuff. Good stuff, mate

    • @CrankYxMankeY

    Love this game, i used to set myself self imposed challenges (inspired by RUclipsrs like Ashe10 and DarkKefka) on the Ps2 version back in the day:
    solo only runs, no levelling up (horrendously challenging/easy to fuck up until you gain access to the Firefly accessory), limiting each party member to a specific class/style ect. I was so happy when the Zodiac Age came along and made some of those playstyles a part of the game. I ended up getting the platinum trophy and finishing a 'weak mode' (no EXP) run on there for old time's sake. :)

    Funny you mentioned "Lead Balloon" cause there's a game series called "bloons tower defense" where you use monkey based towers (and some that aren't) to pop bloons (their version of balloons and blimps).
    A lead "bloon" actually exists there. Also a few blimp based ones that have lead property.
