Let's have an understanding........... I will work on speaking more clearly from now own and I may have to get a new Mic. I know that it's hard to understand me sometimes, but the only times people post comments about the way I talk are in my POPULAR videos. You can hate on the video and dislike it all you want, I don't give a fuck. However,I will not tolerate people insulting me on my talking. I don't mind advice or a little contructive critizism, but posting insulting comments is something I'm not going to put up with. And I DEFINITY will not tolerate racial comments. Yes, I'm black...and if you have a problem with my skin color, you need to unsubscribe to me right now. Saying things like " Black people can't talk" only proves your stupidity and ignorance.
I agree with you! also, darkkefka, i've been watching you for a long time now, only i subscribed recently, and really, once u get used to the way you talk, understanding you isn't hard at all! also, i admire the fact that you almost always respond to comments even with as many subscribers u have! :D good luck on future videos! ^^
Darkkefka Sweet! :D good luck with whatever, i support ur vids :) also, nice to see someone else who gives the modern games just as big of a chance as the older ones :3
Personally ive never had any trouble understanding you at all my friend :-) Been watching you for a while and really enjoy your videos man! Dont let some fucking little keyboard warriors get to you bud.... Keep up the good work Darkkefka!
Triple Triad in FF8 is very important if you want to absolutely max out your stats quickly. You can exchange your gilgamesh card for 10 hero's (I think that's what it is). and if you do the one side quest before disc 4 you can have your cards regenerate on the Ragnorok. You sell your hero's for a ton of gil and you buy things like permanent status upgrades which are expensive... but through the card game you can max very quickly. Once you play it enough you kinda like it :P
Agree with the FF12, out of all the games, that one took the most dedication and I am still missing a Pirate Den statue. The general game play of that game is great. There is just so much to do. The fact I was determined to get the Tournesol as early in the game as possible, Feywood [snake eyes] , was a great alternative to grinding. It was a mission to me, so less pointless.
I agree that Blitzball is actually kind of fun when you get the hang of it. Still unless you use the reset to tune the rewards you have to play way to much of it is the problem.
According to the numbers you provided, if you have individual drop rate for each monster, it's ~ 0.078% chance of getting the Pink Tail from each one. That's crazy.
+Givsaro so it has a 5% drop rate and from that a 1/64 rate that the item is the pink tail. So 100/5=20 (this is the number of fights you have to fight to reach a calculated 100% possibility that you get an item) 20*64= 1280 1280/5 (apparently there are always 5 enemys) so the drop rate for the pink tail at each fight is 1/256. Which is at last a drop rate of 0.39%. Your rate is also correct, i just include the five monster possibility ( 0,39% / 5= 0,078% per monster)
Christian Giuliano Apparently this is the drop rate for rare items, not only in Final Fantasy i don´t know if you know the Breath of Fire series (it is similar to Final Fantasy and i have the third game) and the drop rate for the best sword in my game? 1/256 (here it is even worse, the enemy is rare you have to steal something from him otherwise he flees and it is hard to beat - harder then the Final boss). If you google the drop rate there are even more examples in games.
Also, in retrospect (after having watched the video, regarding No.5): The excalibur 1 (from what I remember) is the one that is obtainable by killing the Lich within 12h of game time (includes cutscenes which could be skipped by opening your ps1 and closing it, it's a viable exploit as it's hard to do it even using this glitch...) and the excalibur 2 is obtained using the chocobo to dig in one of the cracks (similar to the Dragon's hair, or the Ultima weapon etc.). Correct me if I didn't remember it properly, it's been years since I've played FFIX.
MetalAbyssmodeo Excalibur II is in the diamond-shaped room. There's a hidden chest prompt at pillar at right side of the screen. When you're trying to read it, it will shows a message that came from Enkidu to Gilgamesh. After that, you'll get the Excalibur II.
Loved the video but woulda liked to see some items from FFXI on this list. FFXI was the online MMO and some items were a super rare drop from monsters that would only pop up every 24-48-72 hours...PS I liked your voice thought you were funny
I'm starting to think that you can profile what kind of gamer someone is by asking which celestial weapon was harder for them to get. Mine was Kimahri's Spirit Lance.
hey man just subbed love your ff top 10's keep up the great work man and I started watching your videos yesterday and I understand you perfectly so ignore the haters and keep doing great vids
I've had a lot of luck playing triple triad in every play thru. There are ways to manipulate the rules that can be taken advantage of with lots of saves and soft resets.
With the exception of Lunar Gate, you can effectively manipulate the rules of any region through patience and game resets. The Queen of Card quest line, while admittedly annoying, should not be #3.
The Pink Tail is epically hard to get on the original US version of FF4, and is probably the toughest item to get in all consol games period. This only applies to the US version because the idiot designers took out quite a few items, namely the Alarm item, that makes getting this much easier (64 times easier to be exact!). Let's say you really want that Pink Tail. Well you gotta fight those Pink Puffs, and they aren't exactly the most common enemy in the game. The encounter system in FF4 is set up so that each area has 8 encounter slots, each slot containing a different battle (the same monster group can fill multiple slots though). Slots 1-7 have the same probability of occuring on a given encounter (~1/9), but that 8th slot has only a 1/64 chance. And guess which slot those Pink Puffs are in... So without an alarm, you are already looking at a 1/64 chance. But the fun is actually just getting started. Now let's say you grind until you finally get one of these battles- usually about once every 20 minutes or so. First of all, some good news. There will always be 5 Puffs, so you get 5 shots at the Pink Tail. Now for the bad news: the odds are really low. Let's look at why. First, for each monster that is defeated there is a 1/5 chance the monster will trigger a drop. But not all drops are equal, and this is important. There are actually 4 tiers of drops (common, uncommon, rare, and very rare) for every enemy, and each tier has its own item assigned to it (or it can be empty). The final very rare tier has only a 1/64 chance of occuring. This means that for every Pink Puff you kill you only have a 1/1280 chance of getting the Pink Tail, or 1/256 battles. So let's do the final math shall we? (1/64) X (1/256) = 16,384 battles!!!! Good luck.
Also, just to put this into time perspective, even if you managed to average 3 Pink Puff battles an hour it would take you 85 hours just to get 1 Pink Tail on average. More than likely, it will take closer to 120 hours.
With Final Fantasy 12 you need too make a list of all the loot you need for those rare Items so you don't sell them before hand If you do that It will save you 100 hours of game play
at the start of the ozma fight, you mentioned there were 2 bosses that break the general rule where even with the strongest eq's and at the highest level, you still might not win
Chac from FFX-2 I believe he said. Even with catnip + trigger happy, she's unbelievably cheap, she's even harder in the HD version now because they nerfed catnip -_-
SilentRain988 ohhh i see... well it's been around 4 years or so since i've played X-2, but as far as i know, i grinded quite a bit and managed to beat the whole game, including side bosses without catnip
In FF4 on the DS, it took me 83 Red Dragons to get a single Red Tail. I was so fucking excited when I got the Onion Sword and started doing 16-18K damage
to be honest I think Excalibur 2 should be a bit higher, I mean you have to rush through the game at near break-neck speed missing out on a lot of other items and weapons as well as experience to get to the near end only to get a weapon that while effective does not make up for the stuff you lost or missed out on trying to get it
Yeah.... No. Pink Tail is by far the one deserving of the top spot. Depending on your skill in RPG's and understanding the RPG in question will make it easier to beat it in under 12 hours. That one is dependent on skill and understanding the game. Pink Tail is strictly based on luck, and given the fact that you have a 1 in 1280 chance to get it... Yeah, no matter how much skill you have in the game, you can't change those odds. Excalibur II is skill based, with some luck throw in for the steal, but the Pink Tail is pure luck.
Tao To me, it’s like Sonic Riders. There are some dumb things in the system, and it takes a long time to get used to it. But once you get used to it, it’s overall pretty much fun. If people don’t like these games, I don’t blame theme.
+TyTimeIsAwesome Blitzball in FFX was probably my favorite minigame ever in the FF franchise. I honestly think I spent more time playing Blitzball than the story. FFX-2 watered it down so much though. FFX2 Blitzball was boring and monotonous.
***** I skipped hours of sleep (I went from 8 PM to 4 AM) trying to get that piece of shit...and the moment I got it I just said, "not going to even try Lulu's". Nirvana and Caladbolg were all I needed to beat Jecht. >_>
After multiple playthroughs i have trouble just getting to 50 strikes in a row i don't even wanna think about doing 200. The way to get the Venus Sigil has to be one of the most stupid things they have ever done in any Final Fantasy game, seriously EVER, whoever came up with this idea should be fired. Tournesol and Knights of the Round for example might take you forever but at least one mistake won't undo all the work you have done to get it.
Shadowpatrick_1007 Dude, listen to me. There is a spot on the map, where you can PROC the lightning strike simply by stepping on a single spot. It's INCREDIBLY easy, takes only about 15 minutes, and you might have sore fingers after. But what I'm trying to tell you is, if you try to tackle this challenge simply by running around and waiting for lightning to strike at random: then YES. I agree with you. That would be retarded, and literally, physically, almost impossible. But if you look up the video that shows you how to do it the RIGHT way, it's not even hard. Basically, there's a pillar next to a crater. You simply have to run back and fourth from the pillar to the crater. The moment you touch the crater, you will see the flash and lightning will strike. Doing it this way means you will know the EXACT moment lightning will strike, and you can do it in a way that makes it so that the lightning strikes like every 3 seconds. At that point, it just comes down to focus & mental timing, and it's really not as hard as you're making it out to be. You can even pause when you get to 100 strikes, give your fingers a rest, and then continue. I agree that it's a menial task & annoying, but not impossible or that difficult by any means.
RyannBaws I know i'v heard about that but only years later when i started to watch Darkkefkas Top 10s. What i was doing in the past was standing in once place waiting for the next strike, which yeah that didn't work out very well. Even still this "Minigame" or whatever you wanna call it is still really stupid. Oh well i don't use Lulu much anyways late game so it's not that big of a deal if i don't get it.
“Here’s the top 2 items...to get these you will have to have no life outside of video games” Me - Watches video during COVID quarantine...”sounds right up my alley”
Excalibur 2 is even harder to get in international versions because the frames run at 50hz instead of 60, but the timer still runs the same. Basically the game runs about 15% slower, so you need to get to the end of the game in 10 hours instead of 12.
Islander Nimrook, Jumal and Durren (missable) are all great goalies. Wedge is damn good early on and Ropp is the ultamite defender. Brother is super fast, is very easy to get TONS of exp points and Tidus has the Jecht Shot. Early BlitzBall game… You can get good and you can do this.
Finally! Someone who appreciates FF12 as much as I do...and as much as it SHOULD be appreciated! I loved that game. Yes, I didn't care for Vaan, but it wasn't all about him!
+Dresdenstl It's annoying, but it was easy for me...put on my head phones, listened to some calm music, and before I knew it I had dodged 200 some bolts.
Dresdenstl The place I choose was on the north part of the map right after you leave the resting area. Turn right where there is a split going south. After you dodge the first bolt, the second one delays...then after that its quick. then delays..then quick, and repeats so on. Once you get the pattern down its quite easy.
These people that have said that they got the *Pink Tail* after a few tries... Guys, the drop rate is in percentage. It means that if you got it after a few fight with the Flan Princess, you're lucky, and that's it. I'm assuming you also got the patience to have 99+ Siren (and I'm talking about stealing 1 item from 1 enemy). If you didn't get the *Pink Tail* and used all of your Siren, then you have to go back to Lunar Dungeon and get another 99 Siren. Unless you've done it before, you don't know how tedious it is (you can buy them in the DS version, making it somewhat easier, and not to mention that Treasure Hunter doubles the chance of item drop). Please don't make it as if the *Pink Tail* is easy to get, because it is not, and I have a legit proof.
I agree 110 percent. Been playing this off and on since this came out on SNES and I've never got one.. Got so tedious and bad, me and my buddy thought we were getting trolled by the old timey hotline number you had to call back then to get support lol
As someone who played FF4 not long ago, I 100% concur that it's completely luck-based. If you got it after a few tries, you have A+ tier luck, no questions asked.
The excal 2 should be higher. There were so many strats back in the day that involved like popping open the ps1 to skip cutscenes to save time for it. I used to play this game a bunch but never once managed to snag this fucking sword. as for FF12... the rare monster and item system was supposed to simulate a offline MMO feel, bad drop rates and all.
Doing that chocobo minigame for the Sun Sigil is probably the closest thing to impossible in the Final Fantasy series. I beat it in a relatively short amount of time, but it's completely dumb luck. You could spend days trying to do it without ever getting close. I hated blitzball too but when I started playing to get Wakka's stuff, I found out how incredibly easy it is. Just recruit the right players and you'll barely be playing. I would score goals in the first few seconds with Jecht Shot or anything else, and just do that trick where you hide behind the goalie and wait it out. Playing 30 games of blitzball is incredibly tedious, but that's all it is. It's just boring, and incredibly easy.
Wolftöne Studios That's the thing. It's absolute luck. You may think you're better than everyone right now, but it could have easily taken you 21 hours. A huge number of people try for days and just give up, and some do it on their third try
And I also just have to say, Blitz Ball is the best minigame/side quest EVER made, not just in Final Fantasy but RPGs in general.. Blitzball always deserved its on spin off game, it would of been perfect for the PSP back in the day!
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Paladin Shield from FFVI. In order to acquire this item you have to: - Recruit Locke by completing the Phoenix Cave in the WoR. This is one of the most difficult and time-consuming dungeons in the entire game. - Use Locke to find the Cursed Shield in Narshe. - The Cursed Shield gives stat penalties; -7 to Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Magic and no boosts to Defense, Evasion, Magic Defense, and Magic Evasion. It inflicts Doom, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, and Sap on the wearer. It also makes the user weak to Fire, Ice, Lightning, Poison, Earth, and Water. Only after winning 256 battles with this item can you get the Paladin Shield. There are ways you can make it easier but it is still extremely time consuming to win those battles. Let's not forget that even if you equip a Ribbon on the wearer, they STILL have doom at the start of the fight, for 256 battles. Have fun with that.
I do believe on my first playthrough, I played Blitzball more than the actual game.....I don't know anyone who hated it just because of a first impression. I have no idea why the 'Master' materia from FFVII wasn't on this list. All materia mastered and taken to the huge materia which must have been saved (you actually need to save a certain one to get a certain materia also) did I mention a lot are actually completely missable also? Seriously, try it.
Huhbuhduh It's funny how I've thought of a useful function for said items. The Master Materias are incredible against Emerald Weapon, instead of being wiped out in one hit by Aire Tam Storm, you can survive it with more spells than you would have.
It's fun, but when u have to play it repeatedly over a hundred times without any competition, it gets really boring and mind numbing. I only managed to get the sun sigil cause i was grinding blitzball on my flight.
final fantasy X lightning bolt trick: dodge 1 bolt then go save, then dodge another and save. if u get hit simply restart. the save game saves the number of bolts u dodged
theres one problem with this, if you were to open the menu at any time it resets, so you would have to make sure to never open the menu while doing it i am unaware if the save thing is true or not but ill use it in my next playthrough
You talk very fast, it makes it harder to understood you, slow down a bit. First of all, thanks for including Crisis Core, it's easily the most beautiful PSP game I've ever seen. Secondly, I'm not sure I understand what makes the item you mentioned from it hard to get? You have to use a specific move on a specific monster, right? And of course, you have to rely on luck to get that move, right? Doesn't seem nearly as difficult as some low drop rate items I've chased in the past, whether in FF games or any others. Thirdly, I think you contradicted yourself a bit. You mentioned that the Onion Sword was harder to get than the Adamant Armor, then you put an item necessary to get the Adamant Armor as number one. It would seem to mean that the Adamant Armor is therefore the hardest item to get.
I have only one comment to make on this subject ANY MMORPG I never played them for one simple fact, they wanted you to pay a monthly bill to play them. I say FUCK THAT YOU GREEDY FUCKS, first of all just to be able to play you have to pay a monthly bill to start with, your internet provider, and its not cheap, then they want you to pay MORE $ to get FFIX, then they want you to pay EVEN MORE $ PER MONTH!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK! I said FUCK OFF and never bothered with all MMORPG's
How many other "bosses" in final fantasy history though can you just "walk away" go eat some dinner, take a shower, come back and his health is not full...Just making a point he is a hard son of a bitch, and takes like 9-10 hours but it just makes it a little easier that you can walk away, go save, come back and his health is still not full.
Yiazmat WILL start recovering his health if you stay away long enough. I've left him with 13m hp left and went to run a few other side quests out of sheer monotony--by that point it was lather-rinse-repeat in the fight--and when I came back after a couple of hours, he was back up to 37m hp. =P
LampaLTDstudios Omega Mk XII, from FF12, is harder than Penance. At least Penance's normal, everyday physical attack doesn't have a 50% instant-KO. =P And Omega Mk XII can't be Blinded either.
No mentions of Final Fantasy XI and it's impossible drops? Like the Blue Mage Testimonial, which is only 2% off of only two mobs in two different areas?
Dude, your videos are interesting but you spend WAAAAY to much time in them saying absolutely NOTHING.... And a lot of the time you never even explain what it is you are suppose to be talking about, like a swear for the Crisis Core item you never even said what it was, what it did, or anything about anything. Im pretty sure all I seen was just Zack and heard some random word then it was on to the next thing! You know you should at least say the name of the item, say what the item is and what it does and then explain how to obtain the item! I was lost for almost the entire video ( at least the half of it that I did watch, I had to stop at about 14.20 because you take waaay to long with your pauses. Like you will just completely quit talking and it makes this video feel like it drags on, 24 minutes for a top 10 video that doesn't even present you with that much knowledge about the items that are included is entirely to long bro) But hey your videos are interesting, and you are going in the right direction of where they need to go, just try to stay on topic a little better and if you are going to keep pausing and not saying anything then cut it from the video so it doesn't last 24 minutes!
***** It won't work, the timer will change color and it won't work (I've tried). Although I heard a rumor that if you wait for 99:99:59 200 times (not sure about the number) it will work.
Sadly, it's impossible to do the Catnip & Gunner spam in the International/HD version of X-2. That's because SE nerfed Catnip so that it also puts your character in Berserk and Slow status, effectively destroying the combo. So if you're playing those particular versions, you're basically screwed cuz no more Catnip combo.
The most frustrating item to get in my opinion (though I'll settle for a tie with #1) is the Onion Knight Equipment in the NES version of Final Fantasy III. With a 4/256 (1/64) chance to just ENCOUNTER one of the color dragons (Green, Red, Yellow) on specific floors in the Crystal/Sylx Tower (dungeon before the last) and is said/rumored that they drop one of the pieces if killed in a special way (good luck determining what that is) and even then, there it is an extremely rare chance. Considering that you need 4 pieces of Onion Equipment to make it useful on one of your four characters... I tried for hours and only got 1 Onion Helmet before I gave up. Darkkefka
I find even the Ruby and Emerald weapons from FFVII harder than Ozma ._. which I always beat somewhat easily even when I was twelve. There's FFT storyline fights harder than that thing.
i hear ya buddy.. and i made the mistake of finishing the cieth stone missions so all the adamantortoise and half the adamantoise were replaced by long gui and shoulong gui got in the way of killig some remaining adamantoise. i cant kill long gui so i was fucked for ages
that is true. but a point to be made is a good source of income is platinum ingots which were a.. 5% drop on adamantoise i believe. and other than that i'm not sure of an effective money grovel in XIII. cept maybe incentive chips... i liked that part. good exp. and great money for only half way through the plot
This actually pissed me off. I was really interested in the topic but half the time all I heard was jibberish, What the fuck Mike Tyson? It was kind of funny though..
fanatykgier Yeah, its her overdrives that really make her worth using. Even before grinding, she's a must-have for boss fights if you haven't grinded enough for them.
"Ozma is the hardest of the FF bosses" LOL No, he isn't. Oh, and pro-tip: You don't have to chase the Queen of Cards to get them. Just wait until disc 4, go to where the Pod crashed in Esthar and play with her. She'll automatically have all the cards you've missed. PRESTO!
I beat Ozma on the first try. It was a surprise battle that I didn't see coming.. I struggled for 30 minutes but I got him :P I also found the card queen at the crash pod too...
but, there is a problem, when you get to disc 4, you're unable to come back to the any of the villages of the game because they said to be "absorbed by the time" and the only way to get cards, was playing duels with the students that are hosted in the ragnarok
RosieSquall Although that is true, you can also get every single card by playing the left Diamond twin, who is for all intents and purposes a far easier opponent -- if only because she doesn't blatantly cheat in terms of what rules she uses.
Ash Metcalf Well, it doesn’t really count because you can get the same flute later in the game and it’s way easier. Getting it early is hard af, but getting it period isn’t hard at all.
my main profile on FFX before my PS2 was stolen and memory card lost had over 4,800 hours on ONE save, dedicated to Blitzball. nearly ever player in Blitzball (only a couple didn't get to it) was lvl 99 on that save and had learned every move they could. Blitzball is love, Blitzball is life.
Just stopped the video, like an angry nerd to point this out, I fucking love Blitzball! For me the "hardest" is the Mars sigil (I think is the mars) having to dodge 200 thunderbolts is tedious and you can fuck up things rally easily.
I actually got the Tournesol when I first played this game when I was 15 lol. I spent insane amount of time reading guides on forums. I loved those days when I had all the time in the world to spend on video game. Nowadays I can barely finish games nevermind completing them.
I enjoy blitzball.. and the first game i tend to always win against the luca goers.. I just got the HD remaster and its pretty awesome :).. Just sucks the trophies you need the venus sigil and i hate that shit The triple triad you can manipulate the rules easily, but rather frustrating The pink tail i tried to get for 5 hours and said fuck that shit lmao
Daniel Spivey the odds are stacked againest you statistically there just a better team. and you cant set jecht shot in the first half. ...and you only have 3 mins in the second half before hes replaced by wakka.
I personally think Excalibur 2 from FF IX is probably the hardest, I mean, you have to get to the final dungeon in 12 hours (Especially when you consider that the average playthrough, even ignoring the side-quests, is about 60+ hours)... That's ridiculously fucking hard. And you may say "It's not useful!" but I counter by saying "It's the weapon with the highest base attack in Final Fantasy as a series." Seriously, It's one of the only weapons that exceeds the base attack of 100
At the cost of gimping the rest of your party due to having to skip everything else :s Despite it having the highest attack you can pretty much cap out steiner's damage with spamming shock anyway.
To make things worse, when I did it as a kid I was running the PAL version of the game. Due to the frame rate you lose about 2 hours while trying to get the Excalibur II. It took me hours a day, for almost my entire Christmas holidays to actually hit my time benchmarks so I could get to Hades in time because using PAL you almost need perfect encounter luck. In the end I threw Excalibur II at Necron out of spite. It is possible, on the NTSC version to actually get 100% of items in FFIX though, I'm going to be working on routing for a 100% speedrun and doing exactly that soon ^_^
actually average play through (not counting first time play throughs) is gonna be anywhere from 16-24 hours, and that's if you're ignoring sidequests. you don't need to level so much in FF9 so there's no point in wasting time on grinding. but a lot of time is spent finding missables and gearing up. so the excalibur 2 can be a bit hard for those who like to gear up their squad,
I won on auto... Tidus using Jecht Shot, game ends in over time. Wakka's Venom Shot hit the goalkeeper and poisons him, I use it again and... he doesn't move? Yay for a free goal XD
Martin Tsai Why should he be just like all the others? If you don't find other UA-camrs that swearing this much, that's great for you? Just go on and watch at other UA-camrs. We humans are not all the same, and that is great.
Martin Tsai I don't get why you are complaining about his swearing. Go watch PewDiePie, and see how much he swears. After watching one of his videoes, you will be apologizing to Darkkefka in no time, because you can't even compare Darkkefka to PewDiePie, because PewDiePie swears way more. Besides, we all swear sometimes.
I finally managed to make two Tournesols early in the Game ( Pre- Nidorana Lighthouse)...it took me ages to say the least but Thank goodness there is a bug that allows you to create new rare items just by using 1 unity instead of the standard number. Can't say If it works in Zodiac Age too tho!
I suppose I'm extremely, extremely lucky. I've recently replayed FF4 on the PSP and decided to go for the Pink tail for the first time in my life. It took me three battles...
I love Triple Triad. And honestly as long as you have the "Open" rule (which you can manipulate to get Queen has the rule), the game become very manageable. I'd say the hardest card game for me was against Ellone for Laguna's card. That was one hell of a game as I wasn't prepared that Lunar uses it a mix of all regions rules. Other than that, the V2 suit from Max Angelus 0 from XV also has an insane drop rate, especially him being a super boss, you actually have to make effort (wait for his arm to open to vulnerability etc) to kill him, which is annoying as hell. As a matter of fact, I've never got the goddamn suit after 30 kills.
I say Excalibur II should be no.1, the FF wiki actually says that outside the Japanese version it is impossible to get, as in the Japanese version you could skip cutscenes, which like most Final Fantasy games takes up a ridiculous amount of time
I tend to always get The End Garment Grid. It's actually quite worth building up the Oversouls for the Via Infinito bosses because they're actually easier to defeat Oversouled anyways. Well, maybe not the first guy, but he's also the easiest of the Via Infinito bosses anyways. The Black Elemental only ever uses spells. However, as fast as he is, enemies always enter Oversoul status before delivering their attacks. So just spam Darkness on him, and he'll die. Concherer will pretty much die to Cat-Nipped Gunner even while Oversouled, while its attacks are far less lethal. And Chac? Shockingly enough, gets debuffed pretty badly while Oversouled. Other than her broken AF Stony Glare attack, she will never use her strongest area-based attack and will instead use Break Remedy, which does far less damage by comparison. The only tough exception might be Paragon oversouled, and even then, one or two rounds of Cat-Nipped Gunner, and perhaps a little bit of luck, and you are done. In fact, a lot of boss monsters are surprisingly easier Oversouled. Jumbo Cactuar will literally case Hastega and then do nothing the rest of the battle.
Never really concentrated on the girls in Blitzball. Roop is a OP defender and Wedge can shoot between drops of water in the arena to score. And yes, I'm one of those whom have not gotten a pink tail since starting in '93 lol
Guaranteed FFX12 had the largest collection of ridiculously hard items to get . And even if they weren't "hard", they took an ungodly amount of time to commit to get them. Some of them were solely based on luck. I was so busy with side quests with this game I became totally uninterested in the main story. Only time I would progress with the story would be to access another area with more side quests lol.
Looking at your ozma fight, you probably didnt found all the friendly creatures. Ozma will not absorb darkness attack and can be damaged with Attack if you did complete this minigame, which may significantly make this battle easier. But yeah, if Ozma chooses to Curse + Meteor, you're pretty much fucked no matter what
I just got the remake of ff10 on steam, and after three hours of painful chocobo temple running I finally got all five chests... then decided "fuck it, it's 3 am i might as well go for sun sigil" first time in 20+ playthroughs I one shot the race with a perfect 0.0 . All i could do was laugh in disbelief. Also great videos
I didn't mind blitzball, it played the hell out of it my first few play throughs. I grabbed Biggs and Wedge in Lucca, and one of the goalies from Guadosalam and it was dominating from there. Triple Triad wasn't that hard either, but maybe because I loved to play it soooo much.
Ahh the good old Tournesol blade. This took me about 15hrs+ to get all the materials for it and DAMN, what a BITCH it was to get them!! I harvested those damn dragons for almost 5 hours alone in the Great Crystal just to get those fucking Moon Rings, never again!! This doesn't count as an actual item, but have you ever seen the Level.99 Chocobo in the Ozmone Plains DK?? Apparently there is only a 1 in 200+ chance you'll actually get to see one, and I have never seen one -_-
Appreciate your vids but next time please mention you are excluding final fantasy MMORPG's. Because 11 will definitely take a couple of your top 10 spots.. Some people might know the good old days in 11, camping certain monsters that spawn once a day in a 2-3 hour pop window, competing against 5 other linkshells / 40-50 competitors trying to claim the bastards. Then having a 3 to 5% droprate. I know for one I obtained things like defending ring and ridill after camping bosses for 1.5 years straight, at mornings, evenings, or even midnights considering the spawn window is not fixed, it changes depending on the time of death of previous day. And then there are the relic/mythic weapons also... Mention you excluded mmo's such as 11 and 14 next time pls!
Second that, Relic weapons at release and for ~7 years hence would take a dedicated individual 1~2 years to obtain (excluding RMT use). Mythic weapons at release were relatively easy to get due to a glitch, though that didn't last for long. Once the glitch was removed it became near impossible to get even with years of dedicated farming because none would sell the materials, or do the events to get certain necessary quests done. Today it takes a minimum of 6 months to get a mythic from start to finish unless you get a Rank 1 prize at the Mog Bonanza 0.1% which only happens when SE feels like hosting one. Relic weapons can now be done in a month if you work at it 18 hours a day.
Yeah Excalibur2 I know you said you only played it once hence why it wasn't higher but that sword man, You have to reach the final dungeon (Memoria) and Beat Lich in a room called Gate to Space and then search the pillar on the right (but you basically have to a run a Perfect game across all three discs and ensure that the correct characters get the right amount of Exp to achieve perfect stats meaning you must remain at essentially level one until the end of the game, plus FMV take out of that time as well and the only other way to get it is to trick the game by Overclocking it and running it for 2 years straight and the internal game clock will reset essentially giving you an extra twelve hours at the cost of two years (easily the hardest challenge in FF). I did the proper way and bearing in mind you will basically get wrecked through every fight because you are such low levels it makes the game stupidly hard, there is a reason very few people do it, It took me a while to get and my time came in at like 11h and 52m overall, I still have my Playstation / PS2 with all my original Saves and games for every FF on them (yeah I am a little bit obsessed with them) so it should be Tier 0 man completely unfair challenge in FF9 and Final Fantasy as a whole
The thing about ozma is that you wont be using the best equipment. I don't get why people have so much trouble. I beat him on my second try back when this game came out. Just go through and put on equips and abilities. I was able to absorb his doomsday.
+ADuB GAMING The reason why people have problems with Ozma is because of his Meteor spell that, if you're unlucky, wipes out the whole party dealing over 9000 damage (no pun intended here). And Curse can be nasty too.
My Blitzball strategy is to have Brother as the midfielder, due to his high speed, passing, shooting, and amazing abilities. Tidus and Wakka just for them being cheap and efficient offence and that one guy from Luca's square as the goalie. That's it. That alone is enough for me to get every item in Blitzball.
Cool video, I just want to point out though with Ozma, if you use Quina and Magical Mallet all his MP out, it cuts out any luck and you win 100% for sure. I'd say Zodiark is harder, since there's no way that I know of to cut out the instant death luck.
Let's have an understanding...........
I will work on speaking more clearly from now own and I may have to get a new Mic.
I know that it's hard to understand me sometimes, but the only times people post comments about the way I talk are in my POPULAR videos. You can hate on the video and dislike it all you want, I don't give a fuck. However,I will not tolerate people insulting me on my talking. I don't mind advice or a little contructive critizism, but posting insulting comments is something I'm not going to put up with.
And I DEFINITY will not tolerate racial comments. Yes, I'm black...and if you have a problem with my skin color, you need to unsubscribe to me right now. Saying things like " Black people can't talk" only proves your stupidity and ignorance.
I agree with you! also, darkkefka, i've been watching you for a long time now, only i subscribed recently, and really, once u get used to the way you talk, understanding you isn't hard at all! also, i admire the fact that you almost always respond to comments even with as many subscribers u have! :D good luck on future videos! ^^
Da Snyggin yeah, I'm working on interacting with all of my subs. but I have a lot of catching up to do.
Darkkefka Sweet! :D good luck with whatever, i support ur vids :) also, nice to see someone else who gives the modern games just as big of a chance as the older ones :3
They can understand you; they just being R-word
Personally ive never had any trouble understanding you at all my friend :-)
Been watching you for a while and really enjoy your videos man! Dont let some fucking little keyboard warriors get to you bud....
Keep up the good work Darkkefka!
Triple Triad in FF8 is very important if you want to absolutely max out your stats quickly. You can exchange your gilgamesh card for 10 hero's (I think that's what it is). and if you do the one side quest before disc 4 you can have your cards regenerate on the Ragnorok. You sell your hero's for a ton of gil and you buy things like permanent status upgrades which are expensive... but through the card game you can max very quickly.
Once you play it enough you kinda like it :P
Agree with the FF12, out of all the games, that one took the most dedication and I am still missing a Pirate Den statue. The general game play of that game is great. There is just so much to do. The fact I was determined to get the Tournesol as early in the game as possible, Feywood [snake eyes] , was a great alternative to grinding. It was a mission to me, so less pointless.
I love these videos... it's the moments when he freaks out that make them hilarious. I've watched like 6 in a row now. Keep 'em coming bro.
I agree that Blitzball is actually kind of fun when you get the hang of it. Still unless you use the reset to tune the rewards you have to play way to much of it is the problem.
According to the numbers you provided, if you have individual drop rate for each monster, it's ~ 0.078% chance of getting the Pink Tail from each one. That's crazy.
+Givsaro so it has a 5% drop rate and from that a 1/64 rate that the item is the pink tail. So 100/5=20 (this is the number of fights you have to fight to reach a calculated 100% possibility that you get an item) 20*64= 1280 1280/5 (apparently there are always 5 enemys) so the drop rate for the pink tail at each fight is 1/256. Which is at last a drop rate of 0.39%. Your rate is also correct, i just include the five monster possibility ( 0,39% / 5= 0,078% per monster)
+Ellione Valentine is the same to steal the Fairy Flaute in Final Fantasy 9
Christian Giuliano
Apparently this is the drop rate for rare items, not only in Final Fantasy i don´t know if you know the Breath of Fire series (it is similar to Final Fantasy and i have the third game) and the drop rate for the best sword in my game? 1/256 (here it is even worse, the enemy is rare you have to steal something from him otherwise he flees and it is hard to beat - harder then the Final boss). If you google the drop rate there are even more examples in games.
+Ellione Valentine incredible...
Also, in retrospect (after having watched the video, regarding No.5): The excalibur 1 (from what I remember) is the one that is obtainable by killing the Lich within 12h of game time (includes cutscenes which could be skipped by opening your ps1 and closing it, it's a viable exploit as it's hard to do it even using this glitch...) and the excalibur 2 is obtained using the chocobo to dig in one of the cracks (similar to the Dragon's hair, or the Ultima weapon etc.). Correct me if I didn't remember it properly, it's been years since I've played FFIX.
MetalAbyssmodeo Excalibur II is in the diamond-shaped room. There's a hidden chest prompt at pillar at right side of the screen. When you're trying to read it, it will shows a message that came from Enkidu to Gilgamesh. After that, you'll get the Excalibur II.
Loved the video but woulda liked to see some items from FFXI on this list. FFXI was the online MMO and some items were a super rare drop from monsters that would only pop up every 24-48-72 hours...PS I liked your voice thought you were funny
I'm starting to think that you can profile what kind of gamer someone is by asking which celestial weapon was harder for them to get. Mine was Kimahri's Spirit Lance.
hey man just subbed love your ff top 10's keep up the great work man and I started watching your videos yesterday and I understand you perfectly so ignore the haters and keep doing great vids
I've had a lot of luck playing triple triad in every play thru. There are ways to manipulate the rules that can be taken advantage of with lots of saves and soft resets.
With the exception of Lunar Gate, you can effectively manipulate the rules of any region through patience and game resets. The Queen of Card quest line, while admittedly annoying, should not be #3.
For the ffx part, Brother is a really good player to recruit for blitzball
Danjuro for me i gave up trying to find that thing that damn rare monster would never drop it.
The Pink Tail is epically hard to get on the original US version of FF4, and is probably the toughest item to get in all consol games period. This only applies to the US version because the idiot designers took out quite a few items, namely the Alarm item, that makes getting this much easier (64 times easier to be exact!).
Let's say you really want that Pink Tail. Well you gotta fight those Pink Puffs, and they aren't exactly the most common enemy in the game. The encounter system in FF4 is set up so that each area has 8 encounter slots, each slot containing a different battle (the same monster group can fill multiple slots though). Slots 1-7 have the same probability of occuring on a given encounter (~1/9), but that 8th slot has only a 1/64 chance. And guess which slot those Pink Puffs are in...
So without an alarm, you are already looking at a 1/64 chance. But the fun is actually just getting started.
Now let's say you grind until you finally get one of these battles- usually about once every 20 minutes or so. First of all, some good news. There will always be 5 Puffs, so you get 5 shots at the Pink Tail. Now for the bad news: the odds are really low. Let's look at why.
First, for each monster that is defeated there is a 1/5 chance the monster will trigger a drop. But not all drops are equal, and this is important. There are actually 4 tiers of drops (common, uncommon, rare, and very rare) for every enemy, and each tier has its own item assigned to it (or it can be empty). The final very rare tier has only a 1/64 chance of occuring. This means that for every Pink Puff you kill you only have a 1/1280 chance of getting the Pink Tail, or 1/256 battles.
So let's do the final math shall we?
(1/64) X (1/256) = 16,384 battles!!!!
Good luck.
Also, just to put this into time perspective, even if you managed to average 3 Pink Puff battles an hour it would take you 85 hours just to get 1 Pink Tail on average. More than likely, it will take closer to 120 hours.
With Final Fantasy 12 you need too make a list of all the loot you need for those rare Items so you don't sell them before hand If you do that It will save you 100 hours of game play
sorry, who was the boss that you said broke the general rule along with ozma? i couldn't quite catch what you said
oleholeholeh when did I say that?
at the start of the ozma fight, you mentioned there were 2 bosses that break the general rule where even with the strongest eq's and at the highest level, you still might not win
Chac from FFX-2 I believe he said. Even with catnip + trigger happy, she's unbelievably cheap, she's even harder in the HD version now because they nerfed catnip -_-
SilentRain988 ohhh i see... well it's been around 4 years or so since i've played X-2, but as far as i know, i grinded quite a bit and managed to beat the whole game, including side bosses without catnip
final fantasy is one of those games where you have to find some good loot. Kinda like destiny.
In FF4 on the DS, it took me 83 Red Dragons to get a single Red Tail.
I was so fucking excited when I got the Onion Sword and started doing 16-18K damage
to be honest I think Excalibur 2 should be a bit higher, I mean you have to rush through the game at near break-neck speed missing out on a lot of other items and weapons as well as experience to get to the near end only to get a weapon that while effective does not make up for the stuff you lost or missed out on trying to get it
Secret to blitz ball ? level up Datto till he can run (swim) circles around every one
*On #8 I dodge the lightning bolts 1K times. just to see if I can do it, plus I had spare time.*
for ffiv ds, I just used an action replay, because i literally never saw a pink tail otherwise
It took me 40 minutes of frustration to get the Venus Sigil.
Mage masher is easy to steal in that very 1st fight.
But yeah I've never got Excalibur II
Yeah.... No. Pink Tail is by far the one deserving of the top spot. Depending on your skill in RPG's and understanding the RPG in question will make it easier to beat it in under 12 hours. That one is dependent on skill and understanding the game. Pink Tail is strictly based on luck, and given the fact that you have a 1 in 1280 chance to get it... Yeah, no matter how much skill you have in the game, you can't change those odds. Excalibur II is skill based, with some luck throw in for the steal, but the Pink Tail is pure luck.
Played FF4 since 1992 and the glass helm was the hardest for me to get. 23 years and I got it once.
I've never had a hard time understanding you.
newposter30 same here. Love DK!
Whoa whoa whoa!
Nobody likes Blitzball? I spent stupid amounts of time playing it!
Right! Wakka's was the first weapon I got for FFX.
cause that is what you need to follow to say it no sphere grid anyone can pump aeons to max an say no sphere grid but have max aeon stats
I never knew If i had to restart the points to get a good chance at the Jupiter sigil. I wish I was told before my team rank was 19
Bltzball was my favorite part of FF10. I built up some bad ass teams in my many playthroughs. Wedge was always a ringer.
Tao
To me, it’s like Sonic Riders.
There are some dumb things in the system, and it takes a long time to get used to it.
But once you get used to it, it’s overall pretty much fun.
If people don’t like these games, I don’t blame theme.
Blitz Ball is the best mini game ever. I'm not even sure why fans hate it or think it's difficult.
+TyTimeIsAwesome Blitzball in FFX was probably my favorite minigame ever in the FF franchise. I honestly think I spent more time playing Blitzball than the story. FFX-2 watered it down so much though. FFX2 Blitzball was boring and monotonous.
+TyTimeIsAwesome I hate it its super boring its easy but it takes way to long -.-
+TyTimeIsAwesome Same, my brother nolifed it more than he actually played other games, lol
Tidus's Chocobo racing, anyone? For his ultimate?
***** I skipped hours of sleep (I went from 8 PM to 4 AM) trying to get that piece of shit...and the moment I got it I just said, "not going to even try Lulu's". Nirvana and Caladbolg were all I needed to beat Jecht. >_>
*****
Godhand is unless you know how to get it. It's one of those secret password things in the Airship.
*****
Oh yeah...
*mind is blank*
I did beat it. It was just so fricken annoying lol.
I tries ir Sotheby's one try and gotten the Sun crest and calbaglod
As someone who got everyone's ultimate weapons and sigils in FFX I can honestly say fuck the Chocobo mini-game!
Thumbs up this comment if you dodged over 180 lightning strikes, only to get struck because you fucked up slightly.
After multiple playthroughs i have trouble just getting to 50 strikes in a row i don't even wanna think about doing 200.
The way to get the Venus Sigil has to be one of the most stupid things they have ever done in any Final Fantasy game, seriously EVER, whoever came up with this idea should be fired.
Tournesol and Knights of the Round for example might take you forever but at least one mistake won't undo all the work you have done to get it.
Shadowpatrick_1007 Dude, listen to me. There is a spot on the map, where you can PROC the lightning strike simply by stepping on a single spot. It's INCREDIBLY easy, takes only about 15 minutes, and you might have sore fingers after.
But what I'm trying to tell you is, if you try to tackle this challenge simply by running around and waiting for lightning to strike at random: then YES. I agree with you. That would be retarded, and literally, physically, almost impossible. But if you look up the video that shows you how to do it the RIGHT way, it's not even hard.
Basically, there's a pillar next to a crater. You simply have to run back and fourth from the pillar to the crater. The moment you touch the crater, you will see the flash and lightning will strike. Doing it this way means you will know the EXACT moment lightning will strike, and you can do it in a way that makes it so that the lightning strikes like every 3 seconds.
At that point, it just comes down to focus & mental timing, and it's really not as hard as you're making it out to be. You can even pause when you get to 100 strikes, give your fingers a rest, and then continue. I agree that it's a menial task & annoying, but not impossible or that difficult by any means.
RyannBaws
I know i'v heard about that but only years later when i started to watch Darkkefkas Top 10s.
What i was doing in the past was standing in once place waiting for the next strike, which yeah that didn't work out very well.
Even still this "Minigame" or whatever you wanna call it is still really stupid.
Oh well i don't use Lulu much anyways late game so it's not that big of a deal if i don't get it.
I have gotten all 200 once but i remember getting to 199 and I cant remember what happened but I looked away for about 1 second and got hit.
+Ross Ladlee I would kill my self at that point. How do you have the courage to live on, I must know!
“Here’s the top 2 items...to get these you will have to have no life outside of video games”
Me - Watches video during COVID quarantine...”sounds right up my alley”
ikr
Excalibur 2 is even harder to get in international versions because the frames run at 50hz instead of 60, but the timer still runs the same. Basically the game runs about 15% slower, so you need to get to the end of the game in 10 hours instead of 12.
Brother is the fastest blitzball player... you can win easily with him in the team
Islander
Nimrook, Jumal and Durren (missable) are all great goalies.
Wedge is damn good early on and Ropp is the ultamite defender.
Brother is super fast, is very easy to get TONS of exp points and Tidus has the Jecht Shot.
Early BlitzBall game…
You can get good and you can do this.
You can win easily with the vanilla Aurochs too. Tidus, Wakka and Datto are always the lead goal scorers in all my playthroughs!
@@TheShytallica also Keppa Has 99 shoot when he levels up to level 99
Take a shot every time Darkkefka says "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING..."
Funeral in seconds
The clip from FF IV somehow amused me, how the hell do the characters manage to get caught by surprise when they are the ones calling the enemy?
Finally! Someone who appreciates FF12 as much as I do...and as much as it SHOULD be appreciated! I loved that game. Yes, I didn't care for Vaan, but it wasn't all about him!
As soon as I can, Vaan is out of my party!
Lorree same!!!
Second favorite one behind Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced!
Vaan, Ashe, Fran ;-; that was my team B)
Fuck that lightning dodge minigame in FFX.
+Dresdenstl It's annoying, but it was easy for me...put on my head phones, listened to some calm music, and before I knew it I had dodged 200 some bolts.
I guess I'll have to try that if FFX HD comes to Steam (I don't have a PS3).
Dresdenstl
The place I choose was on the north part of the map right after you leave the resting area. Turn right where there is a split going south. After you dodge the first bolt, the second one delays...then after that its quick. then delays..then quick, and repeats so on. Once you get the pattern down its quite easy.
+Dresdenstl Its ennoying but i can do it i did the dodging lightning thing 200 times like 4 times i could do it 4 you xD
+Dresdenstl In all seriousness, Tidus and the chocobo lady was 100x more annoying than the lightning dodge, man.
I feel blitz ball was only hard until you went into manual play
These people that have said that they got the *Pink Tail* after a few tries...
Guys, the drop rate is in percentage. It means that if you got it after a few fight with the Flan Princess, you're lucky, and that's it. I'm assuming you also got the patience to have 99+ Siren (and I'm talking about stealing 1 item from 1 enemy). If you didn't get the *Pink Tail* and used all of your Siren, then you have to go back to Lunar Dungeon and get another 99 Siren. Unless you've done it before, you don't know how tedious it is (you can buy them in the DS version, making it somewhat easier, and not to mention that Treasure Hunter doubles the chance of item drop).
Please don't make it as if the *Pink Tail* is easy to get, because it is not, and I have a legit proof.
I agree 110 percent. Been playing this off and on since this came out on SNES and I've never got one.. Got so tedious and bad, me and my buddy thought we were getting trolled by the old timey hotline number you had to call back then to get support lol
No argument there, I love FF4 but goddamn that drop and steal ratio!
its very hard, I got all the rare summons, but I didnt get the pink tail yet
i agree the pink tail is hard as hell to get but i got stupidly good luck in my ff4 run on the ds and four in a row but then my luck went to shit
As someone who played FF4 not long ago, I 100% concur that it's completely luck-based. If you got it after a few tries, you have A+ tier luck, no questions asked.
The excal 2 should be higher. There were so many strats back in the day that involved like popping open the ps1 to skip cutscenes to save time for it. I used to play this game a bunch but never once managed to snag this fucking sword.
as for FF12... the rare monster and item system was supposed to simulate a offline MMO feel, bad drop rates and all.
Doing that chocobo minigame for the Sun Sigil is probably the closest thing to impossible in the Final Fantasy series. I beat it in a relatively short amount of time, but it's completely dumb luck. You could spend days trying to do it without ever getting close.
I hated blitzball too but when I started playing to get Wakka's stuff, I found out how incredibly easy it is. Just recruit the right players and you'll barely be playing. I would score goals in the first few seconds with Jecht Shot or anything else, and just do that trick where you hide behind the goalie and wait it out. Playing 30 games of blitzball is incredibly tedious, but that's all it is. It's just boring, and incredibly easy.
cJinL i just recruited wakka and it was already easy
+cJinL, the Sun Sigil was hard for you?
Wolftöne Studios i did quit 2 times because i tried for literally an hour but i finnaly did it
+Mono Cheto1, a whole hour? It took me seven minutes.
Wolftöne Studios That's the thing. It's absolute luck. You may think you're better than everyone right now, but it could have easily taken you 21 hours. A huge number of people try for days and just give up, and some do it on their third try
The Queen of Cards cards weren't that bad.
Later in the game, she's permanently at the rocket landing site.
And I also just have to say, Blitz Ball is the best minigame/side quest EVER made, not just in Final Fantasy but RPGs in general.. Blitzball always deserved its on spin off game, it would of been perfect for the PSP back in the day!
I consider you an authority on this game series. I understand you just fine and actually relate to how you feel on MOST of the games.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Paladin Shield from FFVI. In order to acquire this item you have to:
- Recruit Locke by completing the Phoenix Cave in the WoR. This is one of the most difficult and time-consuming dungeons in the entire game.
- Use Locke to find the Cursed Shield in Narshe.
- The Cursed Shield gives stat penalties; -7 to Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Magic and no boosts to Defense, Evasion, Magic Defense, and Magic Evasion. It inflicts Doom, Silence, Berserk, Confusion, and Sap on the wearer. It also makes the user weak to Fire, Ice, Lightning, Poison, Earth, and Water.
Only after winning 256 battles with this item can you get the Paladin Shield. There are ways you can make it easier but it is still extremely time consuming to win those battles. Let's not forget that even if you equip a Ribbon on the wearer, they STILL have doom at the start of the fight, for 256 battles. Have fun with that.
I do believe on my first playthrough, I played Blitzball more than the actual game.....I don't know anyone who hated it just because of a first impression. I have no idea why the 'Master' materia from FFVII wasn't on this list. All materia mastered and taken to the huge materia which must have been saved (you actually need to save a certain one to get a certain materia also) did I mention a lot are actually completely missable also? Seriously, try it.
It's not really useful though since I can set up all the Materia combinations I care about without it
Huhbuhduh
That's not the point.
TheDanzomanzo He stated in the video that he was going to include the useful items...
Huhbuhduh
It's funny how I've thought of a useful function for said items. The Master Materias are incredible against Emerald Weapon, instead of being wiped out in one hit by Aire Tam Storm, you can survive it with more spells than you would have.
It's fun, but when u have to play it repeatedly over a hundred times without any competition, it gets really boring and mind numbing. I only managed to get the sun sigil cause i was grinding blitzball on my flight.
final fantasy X lightning bolt trick: dodge 1 bolt then go save, then dodge another and save. if u get hit simply restart. the save game saves the number of bolts u dodged
no problem
ARE YOU SHITTING ME? YOU CAN SAVE YOUR LIGHTNING BOLTS?! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE, MATE?
if i knew this Dx luckily i have it but still UGH
theres one problem with this, if you were to open the menu at any time it resets, so you would have to make sure to never open the menu while doing it
i am unaware if the save thing is true or not but ill use it in my next playthrough
WTF!!!!!! I never knew that!!!!!! GEEZUS SLICED! Imma go try that!
You talk very fast, it makes it harder to understood you, slow down a bit. First of all, thanks for including Crisis Core, it's easily the most beautiful PSP game I've ever seen. Secondly, I'm not sure I understand what makes the item you mentioned from it hard to get? You have to use a specific move on a specific monster, right? And of course, you have to rely on luck to get that move, right? Doesn't seem nearly as difficult as some low drop rate items I've chased in the past, whether in FF games or any others. Thirdly, I think you contradicted yourself a bit. You mentioned that the Onion Sword was harder to get than the Adamant Armor, then you put an item necessary to get the Adamant Armor as number one. It would seem to mean that the Adamant Armor is therefore the hardest item to get.
I'm just happy that FFIX is starting to get its recognition as a great FF game. And IMO, the best one at that
uhhhh no
I have only one comment to make on this subject ANY MMORPG I never played them for one simple fact, they wanted you to pay a monthly bill to play them. I say FUCK THAT YOU GREEDY FUCKS, first of all just to be able to play you have to pay a monthly bill to start with, your internet provider, and its not cheap, then they want you to pay MORE $ to get FFIX, then they want you to pay EVEN MORE $ PER MONTH!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK! I said FUCK OFF and never bothered with all MMORPG's
Sakaguchi and Uematsu both consider FF9 to be their best work. I respect both of them highly, and I agree, 9 is amazing.
I'm sorry, but still think the hardest boss in FF history was Yaizmat. The sheer amount of time and effort needed to kill that thing is crazy.
jeff philly You can't actually do that all the time. If i'm not mistaken, that's a glitch. If you leave, it's health will recover.
***** that's if you leave the battle while Yiazmat has regen on
How many other "bosses" in final fantasy history though can you just "walk away" go eat some dinner, take a shower, come back and his health is not full...Just making a point he is a hard son of a bitch, and takes like 9-10 hours but it just makes it a little easier that you can walk away, go save, come back and his health is still not full.
Yiazmat WILL start recovering his health if you stay away long enough. I've left him with 13m hp left and went to run a few other side quests out of sheer monotony--by that point it was lather-rinse-repeat in the fight--and when I came back after a couple of hours, he was back up to 37m hp. =P
LampaLTDstudios Omega Mk XII, from FF12, is harder than Penance. At least Penance's normal, everyday physical attack doesn't have a 50% instant-KO. =P And Omega Mk XII can't be Blinded either.
I LOVE blitz ball! i had the ultimate team... i wish i still had my save file ._.
No mentions of Final Fantasy XI and it's impossible drops?
Like the Blue Mage Testimonial, which is only 2% off of only two mobs in two different areas?
Coramelimane I made it very clear that I never played XI.
Coramelimane FF11 would have it's own catagory since pretty much every rare item in that game beats out most ff's time wise to get.
Charles Maxwell Even common drops are rare drops in 11. Ha ha.
Coramelimane Honestly, FFXI shouldn't really be considered a part of the main series. It's not even the same genre.
How so? It's still a roleplaying game.
Dude, your videos are interesting but you spend WAAAAY to much time in them saying absolutely NOTHING.... And a lot of the time you never even explain what it is you are suppose to be talking about, like a swear for the Crisis Core item you never even said what it was, what it did, or anything about anything. Im pretty sure all I seen was just Zack and heard some random word then it was on to the next thing! You know you should at least say the name of the item, say what the item is and what it does and then explain how to obtain the item! I was lost for almost the entire video ( at least the half of it that I did watch, I had to stop at about 14.20 because you take waaay to long with your pauses. Like you will just completely quit talking and it makes this video feel like it drags on, 24 minutes for a top 10 video that doesn't even present you with that much knowledge about the items that are included is entirely to long bro) But hey your videos are interesting, and you are going in the right direction of where they need to go, just try to stay on topic a little better and if you are going to keep pausing and not saying anything then cut it from the video so it doesn't last 24 minutes!
yeah, this was my second top 10, they got better after this one.
I subscribed to you because I do like the subjects you are bringing up!
***** lol xx haah nice
***** It won't work, the timer will change color and it won't work (I've tried). Although I heard a rumor that if you wait for 99:99:59 200 times (not sure about the number) it will work.
I LOVE BLITZBALL! Why you think everyone hates it is beyond me.
Because your game was somehow friendly OURS killed us every game almost impossible!!! I played 30 times and never came close to winning!
Sadly, it's impossible to do the Catnip & Gunner spam in the International/HD version of X-2. That's because SE nerfed Catnip so that it also puts your character in Berserk and Slow status, effectively destroying the combo. So if you're playing those particular versions, you're basically screwed cuz no more Catnip combo.
I was so disappointed when I found that out
I found blitz ball pretty fun actually
oh hell yeah son
Blitz was fun, but it was very easy... You only need one player, just get Brother when you first meet him and you are set:
I hate blitzball, it's so DAMN hard lol
Wait, you found it fun!? IMPOSSIBRU!
(Sorry, I just had to. :P)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeh
The most frustrating item to get in my opinion (though I'll settle for a tie with #1) is the Onion Knight Equipment in the NES version of Final Fantasy III. With a 4/256 (1/64) chance to just ENCOUNTER one of the color dragons (Green, Red, Yellow) on specific floors in the Crystal/Sylx Tower (dungeon before the last) and is said/rumored that they drop one of the pieces if killed in a special way (good luck determining what that is) and even then, there it is an extremely rare chance. Considering that you need 4 pieces of Onion Equipment to make it useful on one of your four characters... I tried for hours and only got 1 Onion Helmet before I gave up.
Darkkefka
agree....
I know right, sometimes NES games are just ridiculous.
I find even the Ruby and Emerald weapons from FFVII harder than Ozma ._. which I always beat somewhat easily even when I was twelve. There's FFT storyline fights harder than that thing.
we dont talk about velius
15 years later and i still have nightmares
DK, have u tried playing The Last Remnant? I think it's awesome, and I am a final fantasy fan
+bennyjacob999 i played it,i was good but a grindfest.
What about the FUCKING Trapezoedron???
i hear ya buddy.. and i made the mistake of finishing the cieth stone missions so all the adamantortoise and half the adamantoise were replaced by long gui and shoulong gui got in the way of killig some remaining adamantoise.
i cant kill long gui so i was fucked for ages
you can buy one if you have the money..
that is true. but a point to be made is a good source of income is platinum ingots which were a.. 5% drop on adamantoise i believe. and other than that i'm not sure of an effective money grovel in XIII. cept maybe incentive chips... i liked that part. good exp. and great money for only half way through the plot
This actually pissed me off. I was really interested in the topic but half the time all I heard was jibberish, What the fuck Mike Tyson? It was kind of funny though..
Sun fucking Sigil anyone?
Never have I wanted to cook a chocobo before until I tried for the Sun Sigil.
*****
Tidus, Wakka and Rikku were the only real useful ones post-game, with Yuna maybe being useful if you needed to summon an Aeon.
Stannis TheMannis My team for capturing is Auron, Wakka and Tidus. Rikku is really good, but she's too weak for me before I grind.
fanatykgier
Yeah, its her overdrives that really make her worth using. Even before grinding, she's a must-have for boss fights if you haven't grinded enough for them.
I'm with you, sun sigil takes it for me
"Ozma is the hardest of the FF bosses" LOL No, he isn't.
Oh, and pro-tip: You don't have to chase the Queen of Cards to get them. Just wait until disc 4, go to where the Pod crashed in Esthar and play with her. She'll automatically have all the cards you've missed. PRESTO!
I beat Ozma on the first try. It was a surprise battle that I didn't see coming.. I struggled for 30 minutes but I got him :P
I also found the card queen at the crash pod too...
but, there is a problem, when you get to disc 4, you're unable to come back to the any of the villages of the game because they said to be "absorbed by the time" and the only way to get cards, was playing duels with the students that are hosted in the ragnarok
sd You can get EVERY card in the game if you play with the Queen. Google her exact location and give it a try.
RosieSquall
Although that is true, you can also get every single card by playing the left Diamond twin, who is for all intents and purposes a far easier opponent -- if only because she doesn't blatantly cheat in terms of what rules she uses.
neobullseye1 Even the character and GF cards?
Now the real list:
#1 King of Jump rope (ff9)
#2 everything else
seriously, fuck that mini game, venus sigil ain't got shit on it
stealing the flute from hilgigars in ff9
Ash Metcalf Well, it doesn’t really count because you can get the same flute later in the game and it’s way easier.
Getting it early is hard af, but getting it period isn’t hard at all.
blitzball is love, blitzball is life~
my main profile on FFX before my PS2 was stolen and memory card lost had over 4,800 hours on ONE save, dedicated to Blitzball. nearly ever player in Blitzball (only a couple didn't get to it) was lvl 99 on that save and had learned every move they could. Blitzball is love, Blitzball is life.
+23Fists dedication at its finest
+Jarrod Gualdi HAHAHAHAHA, and now I can't even play the remake. Oh well, I guess later in life, maybe.
Just stopped the video, like an angry nerd to point this out, I fucking love Blitzball!
For me the "hardest" is the Mars sigil (I think is the mars) having to dodge 200 thunderbolts is tedious and you can fuck up things rally easily.
Ikr Blitzball and Triple Triad are AWESOME. They are one of the most popular mini games ever. That guy must be the only one to not like them.
I actually got the Tournesol when I first played this game when I was 15 lol. I spent insane amount of time reading guides on forums. I loved those days when I had all the time in the world to spend on video game. Nowadays I can barely finish games nevermind completing them.
I enjoy blitzball.. and the first game i tend to always win against the luca goers.. I just got the HD remaster and its pretty awesome :).. Just sucks the trophies you need the venus sigil and i hate that shit
The triple triad you can manipulate the rules easily, but rather frustrating
The pink tail i tried to get for 5 hours and said fuck that shit lmao
Yea I don't get that comment about the first game against the Goers being unfair either. I lost, yea, but that game is very winnable.
Daniel Spivey the odds are stacked againest you statistically there just a better team. and you cant set jecht shot in the first half. ...and you only have 3 mins in the second half before hes replaced by wakka.
I personally think Excalibur 2 from FF IX is probably the hardest, I mean, you have to get to the final dungeon in 12 hours (Especially when you consider that the average playthrough, even ignoring the side-quests, is about 60+ hours)... That's ridiculously fucking hard. And you may say "It's not useful!" but I counter by saying "It's the weapon with the highest base attack in Final Fantasy as a series." Seriously, It's one of the only weapons that exceeds the base attack of 100
I think he was making a point of listing useful items :s
Again, I go with "Highest base attack in the entire of Final Fantasy as a franchise." making it useful.
At the cost of gimping the rest of your party due to having to skip everything else :s
Despite it having the highest attack you can pretty much cap out steiner's damage with spamming shock anyway.
To make things worse, when I did it as a kid I was running the PAL version of the game. Due to the frame rate you lose about 2 hours while trying to get the Excalibur II. It took me hours a day, for almost my entire Christmas holidays to actually hit my time benchmarks so I could get to Hades in time because using PAL you almost need perfect encounter luck. In the end I threw Excalibur II at Necron out of spite.
It is possible, on the NTSC version to actually get 100% of items in FFIX though, I'm going to be working on routing for a 100% speedrun and doing exactly that soon ^_^
actually average play through (not counting first time play throughs) is gonna be anywhere from 16-24 hours, and that's if you're ignoring sidequests. you don't need to level so much in FF9 so there's no point in wasting time on grinding. but a lot of time is spent finding missables and gearing up. so the excalibur 2 can be a bit hard for those who like to gear up their squad,
u can win the very first blitzball match by taking it off auto and moving the guys yourself it takes a lil doing but it is possible
if i can do it anyone can
I won on auto... Tidus using Jecht Shot, game ends in over time. Wakka's Venom Shot hit the goalkeeper and poisons him, I use it again and... he doesn't move? Yay for a free goal XD
I loved blitzball :(
Blitzball, hard? haha dont make me laugh :D
It is pretty tedious for a lot of people.
You need to swear less dude...couldn't finish the video because it was kind of annoying listening to you.
Martin Tsai if you're bother by swearing, then maybe you shouldn't watch any videos...
tell me one popular youtuber or streamer who swears as much as you do. if you cant find any then take it as an advice.
Martin Tsai Why should he be just like all the others? If you don't find other UA-camrs that swearing this much, that's great for you? Just go on and watch at other UA-camrs. We humans are not all the same, and that is great.
Martin Tsai I don't get why you are complaining about his swearing. Go watch PewDiePie, and see how much he swears. After watching one of his videoes, you will be apologizing to Darkkefka in no time, because you can't even compare Darkkefka to PewDiePie, because PewDiePie swears way more. Besides, we all swear sometimes.
Martin Tsai You need to quit being a bitch.
I finally managed to make two Tournesols early in the Game ( Pre- Nidorana Lighthouse)...it took me ages to say the least but Thank goodness there is a bug that allows you to create new rare items just by using 1 unity instead of the standard number. Can't say If it works in Zodiac Age too tho!
when are you coming back with your final fantasy vids😕?????
I suppose I'm extremely, extremely lucky. I've recently replayed FF4 on the PSP and decided to go for the Pink tail for the first time in my life. It took me three battles...
Lol love the commentary lol
I love Triple Triad. And honestly as long as you have the "Open" rule (which you can manipulate to get Queen has the rule), the game become very manageable.
I'd say the hardest card game for me was against Ellone for Laguna's card. That was one hell of a game as I wasn't prepared that Lunar uses it a mix of all regions rules.
Other than that, the V2 suit from Max Angelus 0 from XV also has an insane drop rate, especially him being a super boss, you actually have to make effort (wait for his arm to open to vulnerability etc) to kill him, which is annoying as hell. As a matter of fact, I've never got the goddamn suit after 30 kills.

I say Excalibur II should be no.1, the FF wiki actually says that outside the Japanese version it is impossible to get, as in the Japanese version you could skip cutscenes, which like most Final Fantasy games takes up a ridiculous amount of time
I tend to always get The End Garment Grid. It's actually quite worth building up the Oversouls for the Via Infinito bosses because they're actually easier to defeat Oversouled anyways. Well, maybe not the first guy, but he's also the easiest of the Via Infinito bosses anyways.
The Black Elemental only ever uses spells. However, as fast as he is, enemies always enter Oversoul status before delivering their attacks. So just spam Darkness on him, and he'll die. Concherer will pretty much die to Cat-Nipped Gunner even while Oversouled, while its attacks are far less lethal. And Chac? Shockingly enough, gets debuffed pretty badly while Oversouled. Other than her broken AF Stony Glare attack, she will never use her strongest area-based attack and will instead use Break Remedy, which does far less damage by comparison.
The only tough exception might be Paragon oversouled, and even then, one or two rounds of Cat-Nipped Gunner, and perhaps a little bit of luck, and you are done.
In fact, a lot of boss monsters are surprisingly easier Oversouled. Jumbo Cactuar will literally case Hastega and then do nothing the rest of the battle.
Never really concentrated on the girls in Blitzball. Roop is a OP defender and Wedge can shoot between drops of water in the arena to score.
And yes, I'm one of those whom have not gotten a pink tail since starting in '93 lol
Guaranteed FFX12 had the largest collection of ridiculously hard items to get . And even if they weren't "hard", they took an ungodly amount of time to commit to get them. Some of them were solely based on luck. I was so busy with side quests with this game I became totally uninterested in the main story. Only time I would progress with the story would be to access another area with more side quests lol.
What?! Half players hate Blitzball?! ARE YOU ALL SERIOUS?! It's one of the most entertaining thing in FFX!
+MATTIAmmazzo Nah, I've heard it too. Personally I didn't care for it at all.
Blitzball is certified trash. I'd rather watch my dog chase it's tail around for 10 hours straight than get the Sigil
+MATTIAmmazzo don't worry... i love blitzball too (and brother as a midfielder as well xD)
Yay for being right on Pink Tail as #1. The only Console based RPG I know of that's worse is Breath of Fire 3 Goo King Sword for drop rate.
Blitzball and Triple Triad are awesome. You must be the only one to not like them. Also, the Card Queen Quest is easy.
Looking at your ozma fight, you probably didnt found all the friendly creatures. Ozma will not absorb darkness attack and can be damaged with Attack if you did complete this minigame, which may significantly make this battle easier. But yeah, if Ozma chooses to Curse + Meteor, you're pretty much fucked no matter what
Nice video, Any chance you could create subtitles for it? I find it hard to understand quite a bit of what you are saying.
I just got the remake of ff10 on steam, and after three hours of painful chocobo temple running I finally got all five chests... then decided "fuck it, it's 3 am i might as well go for sun sigil" first time in 20+ playthroughs I one shot the race with a perfect 0.0 . All i could do was laugh in disbelief. Also great videos
I didn't mind blitzball, it played the hell out of it my first few play throughs. I grabbed Biggs and Wedge in Lucca, and one of the goalies from Guadosalam and it was dominating from there. Triple Triad wasn't that hard either, but maybe because I loved to play it soooo much.
Ahh the good old Tournesol blade. This took me about 15hrs+ to get all the materials for it and DAMN, what a BITCH it was to get them!! I harvested those damn dragons for almost 5 hours alone in the Great Crystal just to get those fucking Moon Rings, never again!! This doesn't count as an actual item, but have you ever seen the Level.99 Chocobo in the Ozmone Plains DK?? Apparently there is only a 1 in 200+ chance you'll actually get to see one, and I have never seen one -_-
Run between those 2 spots where chocs spawn BUT DO NOT kill any of them. Some point you see your 99 choco:)
A ribbon in Final Fantasy 12!!!!!!!!!!!😡😠😡😠😡😠😡😠
Appreciate your vids but next time please mention you are excluding final fantasy MMORPG's. Because 11 will definitely take a couple of your top 10 spots.. Some people might know the good old days in 11, camping certain monsters that spawn once a day in a 2-3 hour pop window, competing against 5 other linkshells / 40-50 competitors trying to claim the bastards. Then having a 3 to 5% droprate. I know for one I obtained things like defending ring and ridill after camping bosses for 1.5 years straight, at mornings, evenings, or even midnights considering the spawn window is not fixed, it changes depending on the time of death of previous day. And then there are the relic/mythic weapons also... Mention you excluded mmo's such as 11 and 14 next time pls!
Second that, Relic weapons at release and for ~7 years hence would take a dedicated individual 1~2 years to obtain (excluding RMT use).
Mythic weapons at release were relatively easy to get due to a glitch, though that didn't last for long. Once the glitch was removed it became near impossible to get even with years of dedicated farming because none would sell the materials, or do the events to get certain necessary quests done.
Today it takes a minimum of 6 months to get a mythic from start to finish unless you get a Rank 1 prize at the Mog Bonanza 0.1% which only happens when SE feels like hosting one. Relic weapons can now be done in a month if you work at it 18 hours a day.
Yeah Excalibur2 I know you said you only played it once hence why it wasn't higher but that sword man, You have to reach the final dungeon (Memoria) and Beat Lich in a room called Gate to Space and then search the pillar on the right (but you basically have to a run a Perfect game across all three discs and ensure that the correct characters get the right amount of Exp to achieve perfect stats meaning you must remain at essentially level one until the end of the game, plus FMV take out of that time as well and the only other way to get it is to trick the game by Overclocking it and running it for 2 years straight and the internal game clock will reset essentially giving you an extra twelve hours at the cost of two years (easily the hardest challenge in FF). I did the proper way and bearing in mind you will basically get wrecked through every fight because you are such low levels it makes the game stupidly hard, there is a reason very few people do it, It took me a while to get and my time came in at like 11h and 52m overall, I still have my Playstation / PS2 with all my original Saves and games for every FF on them (yeah I am a little bit obsessed with them) so it should be Tier 0 man completely unfair challenge in FF9 and Final Fantasy as a whole
+Connor Calder Ragnarok is the best sword, that excal2 is not worth the effort. Steiner is already OP with Ragnarok
The thing about ozma is that you wont be using the best equipment. I don't get why people have so much trouble. I beat him on my second try back when this game came out. Just go through and put on equips and abilities. I was able to absorb his doomsday.
+ADuB GAMING The reason why people have problems with Ozma is because of his Meteor spell that, if you're unlucky, wipes out the whole party dealing over 9000 damage (no pun intended here). And Curse can be nasty too.
My Blitzball strategy is to have Brother as the midfielder, due to his high speed, passing, shooting, and amazing abilities. Tidus and Wakka just for them being cheap and efficient offence and that one guy from Luca's square as the goalie. That's it. That alone is enough for me to get every item in Blitzball.
+Jordan Haugen yeah or just try to get as much al bhed psyches as u can... their goalie is the best in the whole game
Cool video, I just want to point out though with Ozma, if you use Quina and Magical Mallet all his MP out, it cuts out any luck and you win 100% for sure. I'd say Zodiark is harder, since there's no way that I know of to cut out the instant death luck.
I thought Shell reduces the chance of death from Darkja?
12:20-12:27 Fuck that shit, FUCK THAT
Made me ROFL
