In the beginning you mentioned not having issues with villager 3 however you should be aware that he can summon black skull dragon as well as twin headed thunder dragon.
25:26 - Fun fact. As a kid, one of my first duels with Ishizu she dropped a B.Skull Dragon on me and I damn near shit myself. I was like "How do I possibly defeat her?!" And then she just didn't play it again for many duels.
First time Seto played blue eyes ultimate dragon (I was 6 when I got this game) I quit the game because I was certain there was no way I could win. Wish I kept the game...
There is NO WAY the odds are that low. I've been trying to farm her for a while, and she throws down a Black Skull Dragon turn 1 what feels like 30% of the time.
There is something very nice about beating these games with limited mechanics, by limiting your options even further, like beating Pokémon Red/Blue with just one Pokémon. This one being as hard as it is, makes for a even nicer experience, great job

Heres a few useful tip for any of your future runs You might notice when the AI puts something in the backrow, they will only sometimes grey it out If the AI ever grays it out, its a spell card. If they leave it active and dont do that, its a trap card. Combo this with knowledge of what traps the opponent actually plays, you can deduce what theyve got, so you can slam a weak monster into a widespread ruin. Another useful AI trick is that the ai will *never* use raigeki if they have no monsters. And finally to explain why the AI will attack into your stronger monsters: if the difference between your monsters' og attack and your opponents attack would be enough to kill you, they will attack it and do not take any stat boosts into account.
I was going to actually say this! Another useful tip, is that the final six or any STRONG opponent, would either: Raigeky, S. Circle, Crush Card you etc, if you have a strong monster and don't attack and destroy their mosnters, like at 58:37 you didn't attack Seto because you were scared of the greyed out set card, and he could've Raigekid you (it was actually weird he didn't, you got very lucky in the final six run)
another useful, but not entirely consistent trick is of you put a monster in face down attack position your opponents sometimes just refuse to attack. Even if they have something like gate guardian on the field. No clue why they do this and like I said not always going to work, but if you find yourself about to lose and no cards that can save you it can sometimes buy you a turn or two
@@chaossnowkitsune6377 cause they can't see your cards.. But there are opponents I think from heishin 2 forward that can see your face down cards, so that wouldn't work against them. The last trick I remember is against seto 3rd if you play a monster in face down attack position as your opener it makes it likely he won't play BEUD
Really? Huh.. I didn't know that. My main source for any tricks I know of in this game come from my own experience of playing it. I never really bothered looking up guides for it as by the time I had access to the internet I had already played this game for hundreds of hours and knew from trial and error enough of the game to get by. Granted I only beat the game once because I got lucky with a Meteor Black Dragon drop as well as multiple red eyes and meteor dragons to fuse more.
"Our next duel is against Bleep. We can't say Bleep's name because we'll get our video banned from UA-cam." Also Jon_Oh During Yami Bakura: "We'll be going up against Pegasus and then Isis."
I get why but Isis is her name. Context is not something UA-cam considers. Isis is probably better well known for the Egyptian goddess anyways. Imagine making a video about her and have UA-cam scold you for saying a name of a terrorist group when you were talking about the goddess? People should be allowed to talk about them anyways
I could watch these all day. I almost wish I would've found your channel a year from now so I could binge watch a ton of these. As is I'll just rewatch them. Your delivery, sense of humor, knowledge of the game and Yu-Gi-Oh trivia is awesome. I played the TCG a lot back in the day and your videos are some pretty dope nostalgia.
This is insanely nostalgic but also a brand new experience of a beloved game - I literally NEVER used dinosaurs whenever I played through Forbidden Memories. Great work mate.
Megazowler,Sword arm of Dragon,Brachio raidus and MEGAMORPH(3 of those,3 bright 🏰 & 3 invigoration). Raigeki,Widespread Ruin x3,Acid Trap Hole x3,Wasteland for field bonus,SHOULD get W's on BOTH Heishin,all 3 Seto,Sebek,Neku,Labyrinth mage,ALL low & High mages,Dark Nite & Nitemare(BEUD & Gate Guardian in hand at START of his opening turn...be careful...). Can't SPEEDRUN this and get PEFRECT hands EVERY opening turn WITHOUT cheating...not with THIS cast of characters...
@@redeyeskuriboh2839 "At a decent rate" isn't true at all. Did you play this game back in the day? I farmed Meadow Mage for hours upon hours, for the longest time, to the point where I could consistently S and A rank him, and only had ever gotten 1. I straight up cheated, by creating new games on a separate memory card, and transferring over the good cards like Raigeki, Dark Hole, and equips, and I still never beat the game.
@@redeyeskuriboh2839That is kind of like saying most RPG games are easy. As long as you are willing to grind. It is easier now that strategies, drop rates and fusion tables exist but you won't beat this game without considerable knowledge and time investment. I think when a game is this luck based as well. I think calling it difficult is a fair comment. It is like an RPG where every battle is a loot drop where 99% of the time you get nothinf
Well that’s exactly why it’s hard. Your entire point is is that the game is easy so long as you get far enough in to unlock Meadow Mage and get Meteor B Dragon and Megamorph. Understanding how the fusion mechanic works, power creep and knowing who drops what and needing to farm a lot makes the game very difficult. Just because you read how to do everything doesn’t make it easy
I firmly believe that the luck shown in the final 6 is beyond stellar. Speedrunner would kill for these "easy modes" you got there. Nightmare starting out at 3k, barely anyone throwing their ace monster at the field, it's been pretty insane overall.
Agreed, since there are multiple resets and me often reloading save states to save myself time restarting the game the RNG isn't consistent with a normal run. This would be near impossible as a speedrun
Wow, the algorithm believes in the heart of the cards! I love challenge runs, started watching Pikasprey and Mah-Dry-Bread doing Pokémon runs, and stumbled here outta nowhere. Came for the premise, definitely stayed after "Teana is from Egypt, and Egypt is a myth". Subbed!
NO WAY DID YOU DROP A "THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU" QUOTE AT THE END! :D Great video! I loved that game as a kid even tho I sucked really hard at it. We started noting down fusions on paper and had dozens of pages lying around xD
This game is unironically one of my favorites of all time. Great Video, Great Video / series idea. I mean it when I say if you have this series for every archetype I will watch and rewatch and like and subscribe every single video dude. I’ve been starving for FM content and FM content like this
Very well done! My only real complaints are the audio issues, which I know you've addressed already so no worries there, and you mentioning that you're "rambling" multiple times. If anything, a lot of those rambles taught me something new about the game and I enjoyed them, so please don't worry about that so much. You earned a sub from me and I hope to see more of these in the near future.
Excellent and unique series. So glad I found this. Of all the forbidden memories content I have seen I haven’t sent anyone do a single type only! You truly enjoy rng pain! Subbed and looking forward to another video in the series.
@@Jon_Oh from what Ive read, opponents are balanced to only have access to 3 copies of a card and that Pegasus having 4 Raigekis is the only time the 3 copies rules is broken in this game.
Deck full of roided up dinos. I love it. Wish I could see the look on Heishin’s face when the main character plays a friggin lizard, pumps him up with five attachment magic cards, and rolls over his Gate Guardian.
I really wasnt expecting a Darren and Damo reference, as a fellow aussie i salute you o7. Besides from that, overall, the video is paced very well and you seem to have potential to make it as an up and coming youtuber. Good job and keep it up
Glad to see someone make a video like this, always felt like "Forbidden Memories, but only with [insert card limitation here]" is a video category with a lot of potential, and one I've only seen GFC (a speedrunner for this game) has ever really tried to dip his toes into before. Looking forward to seeing more! In particular, I'm curious to see how Fairy-only, Reptile-only, and Plant-only go for you, since those were the types I always remembered as being the crappy/useless ones- outside of how they sometimes fuse with other types, at least.
I am so happy I found this, a challenge run of a yu-gi-oh game. This is also probably the ONLY game I didn't play, actually, so this run actually convinced me to play this retro, what I hope is gem.
Gonna comment on this before I watch. I know very little about Forbidden Memories outside of how hard it wrecked me, but I'm so primed to see this video. Thanks in advance!
Honestly impressive you managed to beat the game with just Dinosaurs. If I had to do this run I would've limited myself to a field spell and the monsters associated with it but you went a step further and only used one type.
I really loved this video, I love Yu-Gi-Oh and have a certain level of appreciation for the older games that I was too young to appreciate myself. As much as I don't want to go back and replay these games with more archaic rulings, I find these challenge runs where it's obvious the "narrator" has a deep understanding of the mechanics very entertaining and educational to watch. I don't know if anyone else has said this and I want to make sure it's obviously just constructive criticism and not just being rude lol. The audio balancing is a little all over the place, sometimes you're louder than the game audio and sometimes you're quieter. I absolutely adored this introduction to your channel and that's the only thing I can notice that "Could use improvement." Absolutely keep up the great work and for 287 subs I am so happy the algorithm showed me this channel so I could be #288!
im so tilted ive never found this channel before this is the exactly the way i like playing the game is doing themed runs. thanks for showing up in my feed
"Like everyone else in our immediate family is ashamed of us and informs us we should be ashamed too, so we tun away." This was a brilliant line, I giggled and had to explain to my equally ashamed family what I was laughing at 🤣
I once tried a "pacific" run with Millenium shields, labyrinth walls, bunch of spells, equips and traps and the Exodia pieces (with a 722 card save file). I wanted to do a Rare hunter kinda run. I got to Nitemare once, but his traps and Feather dusters whooped my butt haha
It feels criminal u only have 1.64k subs. I'm very happy this video was suggested to me, I hope it hits the algorithm ... I know Forbidden Memories has it's fan base here, and looking at your other vids, you don't even only do forbidden memories vids like other ppl I watch who do it lol
37:10 it happens when the base stats (no modifier) of the monster you have summoned are lower than the monster he summoned (1500 vs 2500) and the opponent sees the kill: in this case with no modifiers, Seiyaryu would have killed Uraby and dealt 1000 direct damage to you, which would have been enough to beat you
I don't often leave comments because I usually just don't have the drive to, but from start to finish I absolutely adored watching a game I'm familiar with be played with a fresh coat of paint and your commentary makes it all the better. Hopefully with a like and a subscribe the UA-cam algorithm will continue to help you along the way, cheers!
My cousin and I were aware of the Twin Headed strat, but because of our obsession with testing fusions, we went with Summoned Skull (Time Wizard + Embryonic Beast) who can use an insane variety of equip cards. Megazowler though, what a freak. That thing looks like it can use nearly everything.
Loved this game as kid, never managed to beat the “knightmare” or whatever the last guy is called in the 4+ duel gauntlet part though. So glad to find people making content for this game, even if it is a little rough around the edges it has a special place in my heart.
Hey, great video. loads of nostalgia and I love the Aussie humour. This would be a great series, definitely worth pursuing. Since you seemed to be open to trying presentations and stuff I have some recommendations, all with love. First, these would be great as 30 min vids, it would take a lot more editing but you could cut out a lot of the inter battle stuff and the save bits. The right place between edit cut and game cut scene isnt esasy to find. To make this a proper series with all the decks available I dont think anyone would mind you having a full deck available to pick from, but you dont until its aorund then that you would. We all know the Yu Gi Oh grind Keep it up though, great vids! Gonna check out the yu gi oh lets play now.
This video popped up in my recommendations and let's say I'm huge fan of this game I wish there more videos like these in UA-cam This was very entertaining to watch, so much effort was put into it and details
Well, you just got yourself a new sub! This concept is really interesting to me and seeing you whoop a game that has whooped me since i was like, 4? is severely satisfying. Would be cool for a reptile run next :)
Not sure if I’ll continue to watch past the 3 minute mark but I have to say, the way you pronounce Uraby sounds so much cooler than I always assumed it was pronounced.
When you talk about how forest mage always seems to have forest for some reason, what's actually happening is that the left card in the AI's hand can become any card in their deck, so sometimes the AI will just cheat. Nothing scarier than final 6 just going straight for the far left turn 1
Actually, it's a bit more complex than that. The AI can have over 5 cards in hand, yes as strange as it sounds, the IA actually has over 5 cards, how many are pre-defined by the opponent you are facing, some has 7, other 6, etc. and NItemare has 15! However the game doesn't show a giant hand of cards because of the UI, instead it will replace the first card in the hand with the card the IA wants to play, so if Seto draws BEUD, and it is on slot 6 or over, it will replace whatever it is on the first position. Also, this was completely intentional by the developers and I don't think its IA 'cheating', This was a workaround to the limit of 3 cards deck to create some interesting challenges for players, FM is still mainly a single-player game and it was designed with some progressive difficult, so by increasing hand size, the latter bosses have more chances of pulling their boss monsters to create some challenge instead of the player almost always stomping them on their 2500- monsters that compound most of the decks due to the limited cards available. Still, this creates a cool dynamic that if you are lucky enough you can still have the chance opponent not pulling their aces and you have can win easier as happened to this run
@@essenturesas fascinating as that perspective on game design is, it just makes it seem like the Final 6 are doing some absolute bullshit at the player's expense. This is especially considering if you lose to any one of the final bosses, you have to start all over.
@@essenturesI mean, who thinks Seto summoning Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon turn 1 is a fair challenge for players, when all you really have are 2500 atk beat sticks? Even knowing there's a marginal chance you *can* win a duel a lot earlier and easier, all that does is make Forbidden Memories seem luck based than offer an exciting challenge with a single-player's difficulty curve. I like gambling too, but not when losses set me back an hour's worth of my time at bare minimum
@@essentures idk man this feels kinda like the AI cheating, even if it's programmed. The game delibetery doesn't show you the extra hand space so when the 1st card changes, it feels like total cheating. If the UI could communicate the extra hand cards for AI opponents then no one would complain.
the AI is still "cheating" as in, using stuff that the player is just incapable off in a game that is pretending to be a 1:1 mirror for booth partys @@essentures
Cool video! I look forward to seeing how the other types manage. Not sure if you know this but Pegasus can tell what any face down card you play is, so he can't be bluffed.
I absolutely love this premise, really looking forward to the next videos. One thing I would like to see if you could spend a little bit more time in all the monsters and equips cards that are featured in the type-deck throught out the campaing. I know it's kind of pointless since there's no effects and all equip cards are the same, but I find it appealing to give some attention to these cards now that they would get the spotlight they would regularly never get, even if it's just talking about the artwork or odd interactions. Cheers!
that run was super , great idea for a series and i wish i can see it unfold with every type there is . i think you should go for insect now that you finished with dinos .. you know rex and weevil are a duo not to be messed with .
What a treat of a video. Greatly done. Also quite enjoy your humor Left a sub and will safe watch your "let's play forbidden memories" series next. Looking forward to new videos
I loved this game growing up, I never collected the cards but I do play Yu-Gi-Oh and this was the way I played it for a LONG time until I got Eternal Duelist Soul.
I don't know who you are... I don't know why you're doing these crazy runs in a great, but extremely hard and unfair game... but I'll be here for it. Sub 400 right here!
this was a blast when i was a kid, (2006 or 7, so around the ages of 9 or 10) I never did a specific card challenge, nor understood much of the game, but somehow managed to always make it to the 4 Maze guardians, The one i always struggled with, wasn't the water, fire, or forest, but the last set of the 4, I honestly can't remember much about it, but still, I'd love to go back and play it again now, that I'm older and "Wiser" but i don't have my playstation or copy anymore, so it's definitely gonna take some research and trial and error on my end. This challenge seems very interesting regardless! (commenting at 15:00 )
I remember the last time I played through this, I got stomped by Kaiba in the tournament because his first three cards he played were ALL Blue Eyes White Dragons.
I love this idea! Showing the game can be beaten with "cool" decks instead of good-stuff only. Would love to see you do this with Zombies or Insects (Machines maybe?)
Love your style and personality. Subbed, and looking forward to seeing more. You should turn the music down a bit, it was a little tough to hear some of your witty remarks =]
I love this video this game is so much fun and I think your information is so clear compared to a lot of conflicting information about confirmed drops in this game. I’d love to see you do insect next I want to know what insect cards you can actually really get and what you would have to use to win the game (I’m guessing jirai gumo is the best you’ll get)
Apologies for the Audio Fluctuations in this video. PC was having issues switch between webcam mic vs PC mic. Will have it fixed for the next run
In the beginning you mentioned not having issues with villager 3 however you should be aware that he can summon black skull dragon as well as twin headed thunder dragon.
Try a exodia deck only
I love how he said "its raigeki time" and started to raigeki all over the place for the win
For the win because of your phrase, beating this game with only dinos is a proof of your skill
It is sooooo satisfying to do that! 🤣🤣
AMBATA-raigeki
Just like in real life back in the day 😂😂
@@LordRazzia sometimes even now.
If you aren't playing against some meta bs.
25:26 - Fun fact. As a kid, one of my first duels with Ishizu she dropped a B.Skull Dragon on me and I damn near shit myself. I was like "How do I possibly defeat her?!" And then she just didn't play it again for many duels.
Right?? The chance is so slim but you basically get so defeated mentally when you see it

That or Pyro. No field bonuses. Weak to Umi field. A whopping 9 different Pyro cards
i was the dumb a** as a kid trying to win with a fairy deck, this makes more sense why I always failed against the high priests.

"Several Raigekis" fun fact, Pegasus actually has 4 Raigekis for some reason.
I would not be surprised if he had more since the card slots are completely randomized. Balance at its finest 👌
@@Jon_Oh from what Ive read, opponents are balanced to only have access to 3 copies of a card and that Pegasus having 4 Raigekis is the only time the 3 copies rules is broken in this game.
this is actually a commonly thrown out misconception about this game. pegasus does not have 4 raigekis
I S Tec-ed Pegasus dozens of times. He doesn't have 4 Raigekis
Like how Brock in Pokemon Red has TEN FULL RESTORES he uses solely in case you are inflicting status moves, trade anti cheese

I am so happy I found this, a challenge run of a yu-gi-oh game. This is also probably the ONLY game I didn't play, actually, so this run actually convinced me to play this retro, what I hope is gem.
Gonna comment on this before I watch. I know very little about Forbidden Memories outside of how hard it wrecked me, but I'm so primed to see this video. Thanks in advance!
It wrecked us all 🤣 i don't think anybody beat this game without a guide
I love how he refused to say Isis in the finals, but then made the cheeky joke about Dark Prisoner
Paranoia of youtube scanning videos for stuff like that lol
"Can you beat Yugioh forbidden memories, with only raigeki spam and some random monsters?" Yes, yes you can
"Random BS Go!" Is a valid strategy 😅
how do you think kids played this lol
You feed the dinosaurs greatly with the monsters of enemies. Great job.
This game is so nostalgic for us and you are being such a pro.
"Onto our favorite person. A pimp named Jafar"
I think I am looking forward to this series more than anything else on UA-cam currently. Thanks for the content!
Blue popo, a pimp named Jafaar, DARK PRISONER! Dude your jokes and references are insane. Hilarious stuff. Nice vid.
2 mins in and you have a new subscriber. I can feel the care you put into this.
I would watch all of these in a series of different types to beat the games, similar to the Pokémon solo runs. Keep making them! I subbed!
Honestly impressive you managed to beat the game with just Dinosaurs. If I had to do this run I would've limited myself to a field spell and the monsters associated with it but you went a step further and only used one type.
I really loved this video, I love Yu-Gi-Oh and have a certain level of appreciation for the older games that I was too young to appreciate myself. As much as I don't want to go back and replay these games with more archaic rulings, I find these challenge runs where it's obvious the "narrator" has a deep understanding of the mechanics very entertaining and educational to watch.
I don't know if anyone else has said this and I want to make sure it's obviously just constructive criticism and not just being rude lol. The audio balancing is a little all over the place, sometimes you're louder than the game audio and sometimes you're quieter. I absolutely adored this introduction to your channel and that's the only thing I can notice that "Could use improvement." Absolutely keep up the great work and for 287 subs I am so happy the algorithm showed me this channel so I could be #288!
Thank you ❤️ i appreciate all feedback and the audio one was definitely a concern while uploading. Will hopefully have it fixed for next run
im so tilted ive never found this channel before this is the exactly the way i like playing the game is doing themed runs. thanks for showing up in my feed
"Like everyone else in our immediate family is ashamed of us and informs us we should be ashamed too, so we tun away." This was a brilliant line, I giggled and had to explain to my equally ashamed family what I was laughing at 🤣
I once tried a "pacific" run with Millenium shields, labyrinth walls, bunch of spells, equips and traps and the Exodia pieces (with a 722 card save file).
I wanted to do a Rare hunter kinda run. I got to Nitemare once, but his traps and Feather dusters whooped my butt haha
Don't you mean DarkNite? Nitemare only has monsters in his deck.
You're getting to the point where people can binge and watch your content in loops. Good shit bro.
Thank you my dude! Im just blown away that ive made it this far
Def a fan of this type of gameplay. So glad to have stumbled upon this video. Great work!
It feels criminal u only have 1.64k subs. I'm very happy this video was suggested to me, I hope it hits the algorithm ... I know Forbidden Memories has it's fan base here, and looking at your other vids, you don't even only do forbidden memories vids like other ppl I watch who do it lol
Love this video!1 Never knew there was a predecessor to duelists of the roses- really brings me back! thanks for the hard work!
I'm looking forward to seeing how you manage this challenge with reptiles and pyro types
37:10 it happens when the base stats (no modifier) of the monster you have summoned are lower than the monster he summoned (1500 vs 2500) and the opponent sees the kill: in this case with no modifiers, Seiyaryu would have killed Uraby and dealt 1000 direct damage to you, which would have been enough to beat you
I don't often leave comments because I usually just don't have the drive to, but from start to finish I absolutely adored watching a game I'm familiar with be played with a fresh coat of paint and your commentary makes it all the better. Hopefully with a like and a subscribe the UA-cam algorithm will continue to help you along the way, cheers!
This my friend has earned a subscription. I'd love to see more of these type of challenges.
I will enjoy watching this video! Been waiting for a challenge video on Forbidden Memories
I’ve played this game for literally years.
This is insanely impressive, Instant Sub.
Fastest subscription I think I have ever done. I can't wait to see what other deck you make if you keep going!
My cousin and I were aware of the Twin Headed strat, but because of our obsession with testing fusions, we went with Summoned Skull (Time Wizard + Embryonic Beast) who can use an insane variety of equip cards.
Megazowler though, what a freak. That thing looks like it can use nearly everything.
You can also make Summoned Skull with Job-Change Mirror and any Fiend monster
Never seen a playthrough of this game before; what a charming PS1 era game. Looking forward to the fairy playthrough.
Loved this game as kid, never managed to beat the “knightmare” or whatever the last guy is called in the 4+ duel gauntlet part though.
So glad to find people making content for this game, even if it is a little rough around the edges it has a special place in my heart.
Hey, great video. loads of nostalgia and I love the Aussie humour. This would be a great series, definitely worth pursuing.
Since you seemed to be open to trying presentations and stuff I have some recommendations, all with love.
First, these would be great as 30 min vids, it would take a lot more editing but you could cut out a lot of the inter battle stuff and the save bits. The right place between edit cut and game cut scene isnt esasy to find.
To make this a proper series with all the decks available I dont think anyone would mind you having a full deck available to pick from, but you dont until its aorund then that you would. We all know the Yu Gi Oh grind
Keep it up though, great vids! Gonna check out the yu gi oh lets play now.
I thoroughly enjoyed your Jono impression, truly top notch.
This video popped up in my recommendations and let's say I'm huge fan of this game
I wish there more videos like these in UA-cam
This was very entertaining to watch, so much effort was put into it and details
Really enjoyed the video brings a lot of good memories, pls make a series with similar challenges
Glad to see this video doing so well, im looking forward to the other monster types 🎉
Well, you just got yourself a new sub! This concept is really interesting to me and seeing you whoop a game that has whooped me since i was like, 4? is severely satisfying. Would be cool for a reptile run next :)
This was awesome to watch! I can’t wait to see the later entries with the other card types!
Not sure if I’ll continue to watch past the 3 minute mark but I have to say, the way you pronounce Uraby sounds so much cooler than I always assumed it was pronounced.
When you talk about how forest mage always seems to have forest for some reason, what's actually happening is that the left card in the AI's hand can become any card in their deck, so sometimes the AI will just cheat. Nothing scarier than final 6 just going straight for the far left turn 1
Actually, it's a bit more complex than that. The AI can have over 5 cards in hand, yes as strange as it sounds, the IA actually has over 5 cards, how many are pre-defined by the opponent you are facing, some has 7, other 6, etc. and NItemare has 15! However the game doesn't show a giant hand of cards because of the UI, instead it will replace the first card in the hand with the card the IA wants to play, so if Seto draws BEUD, and it is on slot 6 or over, it will replace whatever it is on the first position.
Also, this was completely intentional by the developers and I don't think its IA 'cheating', This was a workaround to the limit of 3 cards deck to create some interesting challenges for players, FM is still mainly a single-player game and it was designed with some progressive difficult, so by increasing hand size, the latter bosses have more chances of pulling their boss monsters to create some challenge instead of the player almost always stomping them on their 2500- monsters that compound most of the decks due to the limited cards available. Still, this creates a cool dynamic that if you are lucky enough you can still have the chance opponent not pulling their aces and you have can win easier as happened to this run
@@essenturesas fascinating as that perspective on game design is, it just makes it seem like the Final 6 are doing some absolute bullshit at the player's expense. This is especially considering if you lose to any one of the final bosses, you have to start all over.
@@essenturesI mean, who thinks Seto summoning Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon turn 1 is a fair challenge for players, when all you really have are 2500 atk beat sticks?
Even knowing there's a marginal chance you *can* win a duel a lot earlier and easier, all that does is make Forbidden Memories seem luck based than offer an exciting challenge with a single-player's difficulty curve.
I like gambling too, but not when losses set me back an hour's worth of my time at bare minimum
@@essentures idk man this feels kinda like the AI cheating, even if it's programmed. The game delibetery doesn't show you the extra hand space so when the 1st card changes, it feels like total cheating. If the UI could communicate the extra hand cards for AI opponents then no one would complain.
the AI is still "cheating" as in, using stuff that the player is just incapable off in a game that is pretending to be a 1:1 mirror for booth partys
@@essentures
Cool video! I look forward to seeing how the other types manage.
Not sure if you know this but Pegasus can tell what any face down card you play is, so he can't be bluffed.
Love the concept of this vid, got my sub
I absolutely love this premise, really looking forward to the next videos. One thing I would like to see if you could spend a little bit more time in all the monsters and equips cards that are featured in the type-deck throught out the campaing. I know it's kind of pointless since there's no effects and all equip cards are the same, but I find it appealing to give some attention to these cards now that they would get the spotlight they would regularly never get, even if it's just talking about the artwork or odd interactions. Cheers!
Love the idea, i like to give fun facts and that's a super way to do it!
that run was super , great idea for a series and i wish i can see it unfold with every type there is .
i think you should go for insect now that you finished with dinos ..
you know rex and weevil are a duo not to be messed with .
Insect is definitely on the list. I need to set up a handicap for it for the shenanigans i'm able to pull
Well done! Very proud of you! Would like to see sea serpents next! Love Mum ❤
OMG 🤣🤣 hi mum! Never knew you had youtube
Lol, so wholesome.
Loved this video. Can’t wait for more!
Decided to pay a visit to the first video of the series, let the journey begin!
I apologise for the audio!
@@Jon_Oh 0 - it was surreal hearing this from the start but was a blast
What a treat of a video. Greatly done.
Also quite enjoy your humor
Left a sub and will safe watch your "let's play forbidden memories" series next.
Looking forward to new videos
Really well put together video! Would love to see more like it in the future
This was so entertaining!! Love this challenges! I would love to see more videos like this with a different type!
Alright, color me impressed. Can't wait to see the Insect-only run.
22:00 "As with everything else, his level cap is around 2000"
The Calculator would like to know your location
I’m surprisingly enjoying this content. I would love to see more, doing other archetypes. Hope to see others.
Please do more, I would like to see Zombie and Insects! Good work and good luck on your next run, Im really looking forward for it!
I loved this game growing up, I never collected the cards but I do play Yu-Gi-Oh and this was the way I played it for a LONG time until I got Eternal Duelist Soul.
This was a great video! Glad its blowing up for ya! Well deserved, cheers 👌
I don't know who you are... I don't know why you're doing these crazy runs in a great, but extremely hard and unfair game... but I'll be here for it. Sub 400 right here!
Severely underrated. thanks for the trip down memory lane. ;)
this was a blast when i was a kid, (2006 or 7, so around the ages of 9 or 10) I never did a specific card challenge, nor understood much of the game, but somehow managed to always make it to the 4 Maze guardians, The one i always struggled with, wasn't the water, fire, or forest, but the last set of the 4, I honestly can't remember much about it, but still, I'd love to go back and play it again now, that I'm older and "Wiser" but i don't have my playstation or copy anymore, so it's definitely gonna take some research and trial and error on my end. This challenge seems very interesting regardless! (commenting at 15:00 )
I've been yearning for this content for years. Thanks so much!
Such a cool idea! Would love to see this challenge with other deck types!
love the unexplained horns, axes, treasures, and body heat. ofc its possible with enough re-ing in that case
4:38 "We start things off hard and strong"
*picks Little D*
Ooooo maybe the Mako Tsunami deck/the fish deck now if that's possible. Wonder how you'd do this sort of video but with fishies, fantastic video!!
1:00:03 Words cannot express how much this reference is appreciated
Just a heads up man it doesnt seem like pointless rambling and time filling. Its just information and i liked it.
I remember the last time I played through this, I got stomped by Kaiba in the tournament because his first three cards he played were ALL Blue Eyes White Dragons.
Gotta say, same thing happened to me. This was before i knew how equips worked 😅
I love this idea! Showing the game can be beaten with "cool" decks instead of good-stuff only.
Would love to see you do this with Zombies or Insects (Machines maybe?)
'I will play a dinosaur limitation'
Okay
'My wincon is Raigeki'
Ah, I see this is not a challenge run, but a Forbidden Memories power run
I played this game for hours as a kid still love it because sometimes its straight ruthless
Love your style and personality. Subbed, and looking forward to seeing more. You should turn the music down a bit, it was a little tough to hear some of your witty remarks =]
"Exodia, Simon's win condition." EXCUSE ME, WHAT
I love this video this game is so much fun and I think your information is so clear compared to a lot of conflicting information about confirmed drops in this game. I’d love to see you do insect next I want to know what insect cards you can actually really get and what you would have to use to win the game (I’m guessing jirai gumo is the best you’ll get)
Loved the video!
For the next ones could you look into audio balancing? At times I had to almost max my volume to hear you.
Love FM runs there are no other games like it. Can't wait for more so I can say I was an OG sub!
Happy to support a fellow Aussie, especially making the references and jokes you did! Super keen to see more of this series. Subbed!
Man I watched the whole series. keep it up
Hey dude excellent video. I really wish they would make it updated version of this game. I always loved the presentation and its really charming.
