In this video I attempt to beat Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster with only using Onion Knight. This is ridiculous idea I had for a while, so I decided to actually do it. This is the first video I ever made doing something like this, so this is very scuff quality.

      "challenge runs" are what makes games to have longevity. Final Fantasy series are no strangers to "challenge" ad "self imposed" type runs, especially with FF3 and 5 which have job system as their core mechanic.

  • @Shorty_Lickens
    @Shorty_Lickens 5 місяців тому

    A few people have done min/max runs where they try to get 9999hp by keeping the monk job for much of the game, and they noticed you have to really plan carefully because of stats are gained at level up. So they maximize the job level first by defending and running a lot. When they hit Monk 99 they start leveling their characters. And yes all those people noticed the onion knight has garbage stats the whole game.

    10:50 final fantasy tactics is prone to that. I have a low level vid with cup of life and math skilled toad lol. But seriously general rules: no mana shield, auto potion (lifefont is good enough), teleport, arcane strength (buffs speechcraft that can reliably make minions join or bosses sleep/not have a turn, geomancy and iaido) holy, flare, tailwind speed abuse, orlandeau, blood sword equip swords ninja, graviga/invigoration (graviga 2 shots all bosses and invigoration life drains in 4 shots, and can be a war of attrition with defense boost). Some do single class but that's too much effort let alone chapter 1 is easy to cheese giving everyone black magic to own enemies with less speed to dodge and less hp so fire spam can be lethal. I'd also say to ban rend speed as the game is a joke if you dual wield or have some concentration brawler monk doing that (and ch 2 steel maxes bravery better than orator's praise for monk/reaction attacks).

    I haven't played this game in a long time and thought there was something about the onion knight. Came across this video in a search and now I'm reminded. There was a small miss on the opening statements. The first final fantasy had a job system. You chose your jobs and you were locked into those jobs the whole game. This was the first to allow you to change jobs during the game since ff2 didn't have a job system.

  • @roymerkel8008
    @roymerkel8008 9 місяців тому

    At Hein: yeah, besides their weak magic (even with items), the other big issue with the Monks is lousy magic defense. Prorings definately help, al-though the game only gives you 3 so you have to farm one from a Behamoth king, or do without. Good news is that if the enemy doesn't pick magic often you can pretty easily nuke anything (including the cloud of darkness) from Orbit with these guy's absurd attack stats (just make sure you leave them unarmed or else they do bad damage)

    • @roymerkel8008

    • @roymerkel8008
      @roymerkel8008 9 місяців тому

      At Hecatoncair: yeah, the baccus wine is a great strat (and one I forgot about during my PR onion run), during my playthrough on translated Nes I saved all of those for the end since they are un-buyable and rarely dropped (save for certain glitches.) Though PR greatly increases the drop rate so they'll definatley make the world of darkness and cloud of darkness much easier if you end up farming them.

  • @roymerkel8008
    @roymerkel8008 9 місяців тому

    At goldor in video. Didn't know he resisted magic, interesting. Also, in my analysis on the last video I made an error: white MAGES don't learn Holy/White, only White Wizzards and Sages. Good news is I forgot about Aeroaga, so maybe that'll fill in the gap (spell items probably will as well, but definately access to a few charges of Holy/White would have probably been real nice in the dark world -- we'll see when I get there). Also, good news for Goldor is that (at least in FFV), Staffs are considered the same kind of weapon as Axes so they go through physical defense (not that that is much of a consolation as they are REALLY weak)

    • @roymerkel8008
      @roymerkel8008 9 місяців тому

      Staffs as items are definately interesting, I didn't realize they cast spells in this version (probably because I played 3DS version which, like the NES version, didn't have staffs that cast spells) and I assumed it was true here too -- it's not, so good find. This might also help end game.

    • @roymerkel8008
      @roymerkel8008 9 місяців тому

      At end: good game! Looks like I was partially wrong about the Cloud of Darkness and Dark World as it looks like they weren't significantly harder, just slower with this party, so well played!

  • @roymerkel8008
    @roymerkel8008 9 місяців тому

    at start: I've done it on PR, so I know it's possible, I will say though, going into the video that I expect MASSIVE pain between Water crystal and onion equipment (I got through by farming magic casting items starting just after Kracken then REALLY needed them to get through Doga, Uni, and Eureka). But once you get Onion equipment you can pretty easily destroy the game. Let's see if you end up in your high 70s at the end, like I was, or if you come up with some novel ways to solve this problem.

    • @roymerkel8008
      @roymerkel8008 9 місяців тому

      And, yeah, you might need to change items at the Gnome cave if you don't get mallots before Anchient's villiage in PR (I don't recall if I had to or not, but once you have them Mallots can transform you small as well as make you big), as well as to get into underwater cave in Fire Cave section and the Tower of Owens (technically one of the monsters in tower of Owens is supposed to cast Toad sometimes, but I had NO luck getting him to do so, so I eventually bit the bullet and just changed jobs to cast Toad)

    • @roymerkel8008
      @roymerkel8008 9 місяців тому

      Actually your job stats do go up, one point every 10 levels -- but yeah, effectively they don't go up ☹ (until level 90, then your stats go crazy and you have the best stats of anyone -- though if you are playing right you should have onion equipment before then so it will be a mute point) EDIT: ok you mentioned it, I was just a little fast 🥶

    • @roymerkel8008
      @roymerkel8008 9 місяців тому

      at rat: yeah, I luckily avoided that issue (using my sell items too early) in my PR run because I'd ALREADY made that mistake on earlier attempts in 3DS version and when using an translated rom dump. I found you have to keep all your spell items as well as get at least one as a drop from either Djinn or the Griffon (I beleive the turtle also drops, but I've never tried)

    • @roymerkel8008
      @roymerkel8008 9 місяців тому

      just before attempt two against the rat: WELL PLAYED! I didn't think to farm from the sea monsters, so very well played. That means in exchange for some over grinding you could potentially stock pile a few for the Rat as well as other dungeons (I farmed spell items from the Griffon's outside Anchient's villiage since they seem to drop all the good ones at the highest rate I could find.)

    • @roymerkel8008
      @roymerkel8008 9 місяців тому

      at Dwarf villiage (I'll try to slow down on the comments, but it's hard since this was a very interesting run for me, and you've done a good job of boiling down the hours of pain in this run to a pretty good condenced form). Yeah, last weapon's the Onion Knights can equip (other then the King's sword and one of the knives in the same dungeon) is the Mithril swords until the onion Sword. For sheilds, the Ice Shields are their final ones until the Crystal Shields (which they CAN equip, luckily), greaves, helmets and armor are capped at Mithril until Crystal (luckily) and eventually Onion. So yeah, their equipment choices are pretty bad...
