...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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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)
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!
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!
You missed a trick not naming your protagonist Jecht. Everyone else defends while Jecht deals with everything? Sounds about right. Jecht always hated watching others play.
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
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.
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.
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 😁
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.
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.
me reacting to the title while you start describing the extra conditions like: "yeah, the early game will be slow but once you can open up the sphere grid to get magic and other abilities it should be fairly easy to... oh. Oh no."
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.
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 ❤🎉
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!
I actually recently considered trying a Yuna solo run. The rules I would have used are No blitzball, can only use grand summon to summon against bosses, expert sphere grid, and a lightly self enforced no excessive grinding rule.
I did some casual play few years ago. Grind the game a bit and got a bit drained and come up with a cheesy idea after I got yojimbo for yuna. The rest of the game become her solo run simply because of yojimbo skill: zanmato. There was some breakdown I found over the internet how much gil needed to almost guarantee zanmato. On top of that, in PC remastered version, there's a built in cheats to add gil. Adding those 2 together, I simply just beat the boss with my in game wallet. Just reset the battle if I don't get Zanmato for each boss fight for guaranteed kill. No need to farm too much sphere for late game boss fight.
As someone who did this challenge about a yea ago, I will say "yes" before watching the video. Also, I don't want to watch chocobo butts anymore, it took me 144 tries...
The laughing scene is infamous, with people saying it's terrible voice acting and cringe.I'm glad you pointed out that it's actually the opposite. Also that scene in Japanese is a lot more abrasive.
That was my favorite part of ffx. I remember seeing a whole bunch of challenges like, beat the game with only yuna ( one with summons and one with no summons and I think there was one with Only summons but maybe not) I wish I could remember all of the challenges but they were pretty fun. I never did any of them. I spent a lot of time polaying the game...like a lot. and then I found out what 'reformatting your memory card' did and I didnt play it for like 10 years after. *still haven't beaten the game because of that.
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.
Also, with the confrontation with Yunalesca, i always viewed the glitching effect when everyone speaks their peace, which is basically them breaking away from the programming of Yevons' beliefs, thus the glitch
Lol After all these years of playing this game, I never knew that last Limit Break of Braska‘s Final Aeon! X-D I never allow him to use that move, I always save Tidus‘ „Talk“ ability for that phase of the battle, so I never actually saw him use that! Funny how you can always learn something new about games like this, even when you feel like you‘ve seen it all!
*I always thought of his name as "Tide-us", you know, like a tide 🌊 because of all of his early involvement with being around water up until you finally get away from the early islands (Baaj, Besaid, & Kilika) and away from the water (the water that's around Dream Zanarkand, the Al Bhed ship, the water you have to go through as Tidus and Rikku scope out the underwater airship, the ship that Yuna and the companions rode twice, and Luca port) by starting the Mi'ihen Highroad. Heck, even Tidus is gifted Chappu's "water sword" from Wakka which is called The Brotherhood*
Well - Yes - But no! Tida (Tidus's Okinawan name) ACTUALLY means "Sun" and he is the counter part to Yuuna (name means "Sea Hibiscus" which is seen on her traditional dressing - Representative of the "Moon"). This is why he uses the Sun Crest and Sigil in game for his Celestial Weapon! Its also reflected in his yellow hair and clothing! She also uses the Moon Crest and Sigil for her Celestial Weapon. If you look at the Chinese promotional images - Tidus and Yuna are shown as "Yin" and "Yang" made by Tetsuya Nomura. Yin is the female and negative aspects which are taken from the Moon - While Yang is the male and positive aspects taken from the sun. Chappu's sword actually has nothing to do with Tidus at all - And is represtitive of Wakka - Which is Ainu for "Water". All FFX character names are Okinawan or Ainu (spoken on Hokkaido) that have a meaning! But it IS said "Tide-Us". The reason "Tee-dus" took off is actually a funny story! The person hired to do the English narration for the game's promotions in Japan said it in a trailer - And it stuck. This was covered by James Arnold Taylor (the American voice actor who did Tidus's voice in English) - Confirming its SUPPOSE to be "Tide-Us" - But that he personally likes "Tee-dus" himself.
This is the first video of your channel I have watched. I was so thrown off by seeing Rupaul season 5 whilst describing the terrors of spira 😂 Love this channel already!
@tantacles in ffX-2-2, 10 years down the future, shinra opens Spira's Drag Race to the public. In a gagworthy episode of the bevelle season, Rikku Coffee pulls up with a fast fashion dressphere from Yevon&M, a popular store in bevelle. In utter gag, michelle painesage remarks at the dress, yelling "I DONT WANT TO SEE NO YEVON ON MY RUNWAY".
There is an interesting challenge I would like to see in final fantasy 9 that is even more brutal than the solo challenge! That is called the "Teamwork" challenge which means this: in alphabetical order of the heroes you can perform ONE move per enemy attack. Disable autobattle and the other heroes can't perform any actions until its their turn in alphabetical order AND the enemy has a turn. That means you guessed it! Your most powerful main character is going LAST, all the time!
Synopsis of Tantacles solo challenges: He makes a new friend -> he is cheesed to meet them -> the authorities can't get enough evidence to make charges stick -> the case goes cold -> repeat from start until game is finished
Personally, I'd allow customization, but that's mostly because I love customizing in this game. Edit: Well, that and it's so much easier than trying to get the required armor for various parts.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Your right, it is supposed to be cringe. You proved it twice with this post 😂

Stop 😭😭😭
I love those two game 😫
@tantacles Next you should play Lightning Returns without unaliving yourself 😂
Play Lightning Returns without Lightning.
Dude that's actually impossible, like seriously that's the impossible challenge
Really enjoyed this run! Please do more on final fantasy X or FFIX
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.
That feed me Seymour comment made me instantly subscribe 😂
Also, with the confrontation with Yunalesca, i always viewed the glitching effect when everyone speaks their peace, which is basically them breaking away from the programming of Yevons' beliefs, thus the glitch
Seymore got nothin on Kuja from 9 keep ur villain daddy I got mine
Lol
After all these years of playing this game, I never knew that last Limit Break of Braska‘s Final Aeon!
X-D
I never allow him to use that move, I always save Tidus‘ „Talk“ ability for that phase of the battle, so I never actually saw him use that!
Funny how you can always learn something new about games like this, even when you feel like you‘ve seen it all!
*I always thought of his name as "Tide-us", you know, like a tide 🌊 because of all of his early involvement with being around water up until you finally get away from the early islands (Baaj, Besaid, & Kilika) and away from the water (the water that's around Dream Zanarkand, the Al Bhed ship, the water you have to go through as Tidus and Rikku scope out the underwater airship, the ship that Yuna and the companions rode twice, and Luca port) by starting the Mi'ihen Highroad. Heck, even Tidus is gifted Chappu's "water sword" from Wakka which is called The Brotherhood*
You’re right, but ffx rabid stans are like oprah and will kill me if I rebel publically
Me too. cloud, squall, tidus.
Well - Yes - But no!
Tida (Tidus's Okinawan name) ACTUALLY means "Sun" and he is the counter part to Yuuna (name means "Sea Hibiscus" which is seen on her traditional dressing - Representative of the "Moon"). This is why he uses the Sun Crest and Sigil in game for his Celestial Weapon! Its also reflected in his yellow hair and clothing! She also uses the Moon Crest and Sigil for her Celestial Weapon.
If you look at the Chinese promotional images - Tidus and Yuna are shown as "Yin" and "Yang" made by Tetsuya Nomura. Yin is the female and negative aspects which are taken from the Moon - While Yang is the male and positive aspects taken from the sun.
Chappu's sword actually has nothing to do with Tidus at all - And is represtitive of Wakka - Which is Ainu for "Water".
All FFX character names are Okinawan or Ainu (spoken on Hokkaido) that have a meaning!
But it IS said "Tide-Us". The reason "Tee-dus" took off is actually a funny story! The person hired to do the English narration for the game's promotions in Japan said it in a trailer - And it stuck. This was covered by James Arnold Taylor (the American voice actor who did Tidus's voice in English) - Confirming its SUPPOSE to be "Tide-Us" - But that he personally likes "Tee-dus" himself.
21:08 That Secret of Mana song made me sad and happy.
This is the first video of your channel I have watched. I was so thrown off by seeing Rupaul season 5 whilst describing the terrors of spira 😂
Love this channel already!
Thank you!
YU BETTA WORK
@tantacles in ffX-2-2, 10 years down the future, shinra opens Spira's Drag Race to the public.
In a gagworthy episode of the bevelle season, Rikku Coffee pulls up with a fast fashion dressphere from Yevon&M, a popular store in bevelle.
In utter gag, michelle painesage remarks at the dress, yelling "I DONT WANT TO SEE NO YEVON ON MY RUNWAY".
Um. I want spira’s drag race SO BADLY
@tantacles you absolutely should play ff10-2 if you havent already. Nonstop slay from the trio of yuna, rikku, and paine
I love X-2. Dressspheres are underrated
There is an interesting challenge I would like to see in final fantasy 9 that is even more brutal than the solo challenge! That is called the "Teamwork" challenge which means this: in alphabetical order of the heroes you can perform ONE move per enemy attack. Disable autobattle and the other heroes can't perform any actions until its their turn in alphabetical order AND the enemy has a turn. That means you guessed it! Your most powerful main character is going LAST, all the time!
I love how you refer to sacred Mt gagzet as "the hill" XD
Synopsis of Tantacles solo challenges: He makes a new friend -> he is cheesed to meet them -> the authorities can't get enough evidence to make charges stick -> the case goes cold -> repeat from start until game is finished
1:13 i believe it’s 1/4 CURRENT hp. if it was max hp , you would end up dying lol
Personally, I'd allow customization, but that's mostly because I love customizing in this game.
Edit: Well, that and it's so much easier than trying to get the required armor for various parts.
