...I SAW THIS COMMENT BEFORE I FINISHED THE VIDEO, AND I THOUGHT HE WAS MISSING BLITZBALLS ON PURPOSE BECAUSE IT'S TIDUS ONLY, AND YUNA IS THROWING THE BALL XD
The fact that YUNALESCA somehow wasnt a roadblock, just goes to show how nuts some challenge runs can be. Also great call grabbing the Sun Crest after beating her since if I remember right, returning for it later means having to deal with Dark Bahamut and well, that wont have gone down too well 🙃
As long as he was playing the remastered or international versions. Which I'd 100% guess he was and not the American PS2 version lol (dark aeons aren't in the original US version for whatever reason).
yunalesca is only a roadblock if you are new at rpgs lol she's easy af like imma be honest she does 0 damage it's a stat check kill her before megadeath kills you
I think using Rikku's customization would have been fine. Yeah, she's doing the work, but with that logic then you shouldn't use shops either since they are getting their inventory.
@@SteelManJ or rikku :P (if you have higher relation with rikku she throws the ball instead. can happen with lulu i think but i could be wrong on that one)
@@clubpenguin12109everyone in the party can toss the ball to help and in my mind you should try to get Wakka cause it makes the most sense as he is the only one other then Tidus who plays blitzball and its cool to think he's tossing his own ball at you to use as a weapon for an attack.
Never thought about the plot of this story being a convoluted trolley dilemma, i appreciated your pov on the plot even if that wasnt the main premise of the video. Great work on this one overall!
FFX is one of my top 5 games ever! I also love 7, mostly for the nostalgia, also 8 to a lesser extent, but X had the best gameplay and story IMO. Yuna's sending at Kilika and her kiss with Tidus in the forest are my two favourite and most emotional scenes in the franchise. Edit: my eldest daughter's name is Yuna Margaret Meadows.
@@orion7675 I never got into 9. Think it was the character models I wasn't sold on. It still totally deserves to be as praised as it is, but it's not for me.
I don't know if you know this but with the Sin Scales battle at the beginning of the game, you can farm them infinitely to get a head start on Tidus's grid. He should be able to get TWO overdrive modes from that battle alone. Also when you're on the boat with the larger Sin Fin, you can farm THOSE scales for even more AP. I did both of these farms for around 12 hours each and I was able to get my characters' main grid area maxed out pretty quickly.
Actually, there are 4 Overdrive modes you can get for Tidus in the very beginning area of the game, including Loner, which was mentioned in this video, there’s also Slayer, Warrior, and Ally, as slayer requires Tidus to kill a certain number of enemies (of which there’s an infinite amount) warrior requires doing a certain total number of damage (again can be infinite here) and ally just requires Tidus to have a certain number of turns (again, infinite)
As a person who did a Tidus only run once, I DID use customization and... it went from a challenge run to a casual stroll for the most part. Granted it wasn't very hard for me in the first place anyways because I also didn't restrict Tidus on the sphere grid so man had free reign to be anything I needed him to be... so I should probably do a run with these restrictions at some point for a little masochism in my life.
There's so much the game doesn't tell you. Cheer doesn't literally raise the party's strength and defense, how it actually works is more complicated than that.
God damn it THANK YOU! So many people just blatantly miss the point of the laugh scene and just think it's bad voice acting. No, it's exactly what it is: silly play between the two leading to them actually laughing at themselves for their childish ridiculousness. I'm always amazed at how people just don't see things below skin-deep.
i saw the title of the vid and gave an enthusiastic "YES!" because i've done a similar run before with only using multiple party members seriously in gagazet onwards..... and then i heard the rule where you could only use his intended sphere grid path and gave an "oooohhhhh nooooo"
I remember getting Slayer Overdrive mode with Tee-dus and overkilling Sin scales for a couple of hours during that Sin fin's fight. I got Blitz Ace and most of skills as I grinded some Ability Spheres from Piranha during Sunken ship part. That part where Seymour helps you didn't look as impressive as the first time, since Lu, and I think Yunie, already knew how to Thundaga, Firaga, Blizzaga and Waterga those Sin spawns. I remember grinding there for a while as well, overkilling its arms over and over. Youth and free time used to accompany me back then. Anyways, nice video!
I would say using the weapon customization is fine since it's something open to the entire party. Awesome playthrough and some creative ways to deal with enemies. Good stuff as always
This is a lot of fun. A fun run through of my favorite game. Also the fact you killed yu yevon someone obsessed with the cycle of life and death and starting this whole mess with phoenix downs was stupid comical to me
This actually looks like a massive ball ache of a challenge. I've done Breath of Fire 3 solo runs, but with the amount of cutscenes in this you've seen on repeat: I'd say this is more tedious and stressful. Well done for sticking at it and getting a cool video about it!
Duuuuuuuuuude. Thanks! I hope you come back when you’re ready. I know you’ll absolutely kill it. And if you ever want to do some sort of collaboration on my channel, hit me up on discord. I have a million and a half ideas.
Okay so I've binged watched your FF vids and maaaan you made me want to play these games again. About a year or so ago I've started a "poison only" run in FFX but never finished it, same with the "Chicago Run" in FF12 where every single character is a Machinist. I'm super glad I've found your channel, its been quite a long time since I've ran into somebody who's content is this consistently amazing. Keep it up!
I have attempted this before but with less restriction like i can have tidus access to the entire sphere grid + be able to use rikku customize and called it Tidus Grand Adventure. Amazing vid btw.
I actually love your commentary on the laughing scene. Yuna's character was really well written - and that's despite the fact that I typicall don't like the "I'm simply a good person" trope very much.
For whom it may concern: You can grind out Tidus a bit more in the intro tutorial, after you get overdrive mode loner, you get slayer. Then b4 you get on the boat leaving Besaid, you grind until you get cheer & haste. Then at the fight versus Sin's Fin, you can grind the enemies until Tidus gets Blitz Ace overdrive.
This is my first video of yours, so thank you to the recommendations. This was an awesome video, loved it, thank you very much. I enjoyed you adding little bits of the story throughout the video, wasn’t expecting that.
Really enjoyed the challenge, and i greatly enjoyed the bits and pieces of lore in between. That was a bit unexpected, but neat I don't enjoy people suffering in challlenge runs, but rather them being victorious on the end - so when some challenges really make players miserable I tend to dislike those Nice video, going to check out more if there are any :)
I think I have about 5 more for you. Hit the playlist. 😉😉 But also, thank you for the compliment. I work really hard on these, so I appreciate when people tell me what makes these challenges seem fun! Helps me with the upcoming videos!
Hi @Tantacles here is a comment for the algorithm. I love your challenge videos and your ferocious sassiness so I hope your channel continues to grow ❤🎉
Awesome shout-out to RPG! I found his content a while back, and it's quite entertaining. Loving your content too! Anyways, gonna continue watching the video now.
Omg I can’t believe you shouted out #RPGChallengeRuns ! So happy, love that guy! Also amazing run! I think I would’ve allowed customisation… Tidus would be instructing it, and without steal, your options would be limited anyway due to lack of materials. I don’t see any harm in it 😁

Your right, it is supposed to be cringe. You proved it twice with this post 😂
don't you dare dissin' my man Tedious! :O

Thank you!
10:51 Yuna's line "I want my journey to be full of laughter" is one of the best in the game.
I still love the complete 180 change in character Tidus has after learning the truth about the pilgrimage. Full Jecht mode.

It's kind of rude that the game doesn't tell you Cheer stacks 5 times.
Fr tho an ability like that I always assumed it only works once
damn i've always been using it 6 times, guess i learned too much from pokemon then!
There's so much the game doesn't tell you. Cheer doesn't literally raise the party's strength and defense, how it actually works is more complicated than that.
God damn it THANK YOU! So many people just blatantly miss the point of the laugh scene and just think it's bad voice acting. No, it's exactly what it is: silly play between the two leading to them actually laughing at themselves for their childish ridiculousness.

You are a joy to listen to - my favorite part was your Blitzball match and your knowledge about its rules. I never thought about any of that before
Thank you! It’s one of my favorite mini games.
I've beaten this game about 4 times since the ps2 days, and I never knew you could stack cheer.
i saw the title of the vid and gave an enthusiastic "YES!" because i've done a similar run before with only using multiple party members seriously in gagazet onwards..... and then i heard the rule where you could only use his intended sphere grid path and gave an "oooohhhhh nooooo"
Finally a challange where you dont need to wait 15+ minutes for your party members to die and not ruin your attempts
Woot!! I've been waiting for a new challenge video the last couple days! Great way to unwind after a long night bartending.
Salad bowl had me snorting out loud every single time. Great run and video!

Shouldn’t we start by not having fun with the first one oh wait that’s just the game
Stop 😭😭😭
I love those two game 😫

Play Lightning Returns without Lightning.
Dude that's actually impossible, like seriously that's the impossible challenge

Bloody good video mate! I can’t wait to watch more of your content
Thank you!
Thanks for the video Tantacles, hope life is treating you well dude.
Tidus should have a blitzball, especially because its the best weapon in the game. Patiently waiting for a mod to do that.
this was so ENTERTAINING to watch, you did it!!!!
Thank you!
I laughed way harder than i should have at the "mine" jokes.
Finding Nemo is a classic!
"This challenge destroyed me" It took me quite a lot of time to get the joke. 10/10

Bro these videos are sooooooooooooooo good. Thank you for the time you put into them.

The biggest take away I got from this with all the missed blitz ace overdrives is that it’s better to be smart than skilled 🤣 nice job on the run!
