I do like carrying on after mandatory fails on these challenges, I think tbh they shouldnt count as a fail if theres literally no way around, getting to and taking down the boss should be the challenge
in all fairness if a character is not available for use in then it is fine, i would argue modding and hacking in character is much more of a cheat move
The red giant thing is fine, we know it works and can be done. Showing that it can be done yet again would just be time being wasted that could be spend on progress. I'll let it slight.
When I saw the challenge I thought it'd be 'Using Selphie for every fight where it's normally possible to use Selphie' so I definitely wouldn't consider the two where you couldn't hack her in as a fail, hacking her in to the other fights was just above and beyond what I expected to begin with.
I fully approve of your Red Giant choice, you get the necessary tools and save 3 hours is perfect, anyone who wants proof can go see the Magic only run where you did it first and the Summon only run where you proved it's effectiveness.
Free pass for red giant is defo fair game. The question in the video is "is it possible...". Regardless of whether you do it or not, it's still possible. 😊
For me, the Red Giant is fine, as long as you've shown that you can do it, I wouldn't expect a video to waste someone's time doing long ass boring methods just to prove a point. It's like an FFV single job challenge series I'm watching. Guy beat Omniscient with reflect rings on the first vid, said it took a stupidly long time, and basically just lit the asshole on fire as a black mage in all of the other videos. I can live with this.
Appreciate you asking for a like in the middle and not at the start. You're right - if we're still watching at that point then we're obviously into it, so the least we can do is give you a like, so done.
I wasn't expecting this one to be beatable so good job. You could have kept yourself blinded and silenced for more consistently decent limits and to access slots at higher health. If you aren't auto attacking or using magic/draw/gf anyway then they're effectively permanent mini-aura spells.
You don't need to mod Selphie in at disc 2 Balamb at all. You have the option to add her the moment you pass by the guard at the front. You're just prevented from putting her in the party before that point so you won't try and access Trabia too early - if you haven't done Balamb, she won't show up to climb over the wall, and if she's not in your party, there's no narrative dissonance. It's a nice touch that they give you a half-decent excuse not to sequence break it.
Slots come in tables. So you can learn the spell sequences and recognize pretty quickly if the current table has The End and drop and re-roll the limit break to get a different table. Tables you can get depends on the crisis level, at low one there's no The End available at all, I believe. That works not just for The End, slots can be controlled to a decent degree.
I'll tell ya what primal, i am 100% of the mind that any early game grind such as maxing cards, just have a file saved with all of every card man. You don't need to spend hours and hours doing something that we all already know you've done before. Save some sanity my man. Same with hot and cold. Just have something like a million points saved on a file. No need to spend a hundred hours doing something you've already done that is purely a grind.
I finally got to watch the full video after pulling the Praetorium in my mentor roulette :D the Drain on Ultimecia didn't heal you because in this game, Drain counts as a status effect that you can resist or be immune to, and Ultimecia (as well as many other bosses) is immune to it.
I actually did somewhat of a similar run where I tried to basically solo with selphie and basically either rapture or the end every fight. Stopped at disk 3 cause real life reasons, but I remember it wasnt too bad given that you don't need to grind random encounters in ff8.
I dunno... I feeling called out just a little bit. I think you may have misspoke and meant to say praise Moop. I'll let it slide this time, have fun with that challenge.
Having you in the background while playing my own game and all of a sudden I hear blue waffle ... I need to join your streams sometime ... always good to watch you videos
I really think if you know for a FACT that a method works, skip it if takes forever. The fun part is you working out how to get around a problem, not just waiting for RNG.
I looked through a few comments first, but didn’t see mention of this: It is not a bug getting a limit break to show up when not in yellow health. It’s just a much smaller chance of actually getting a limit break. This even works at full HP. If I had to guess they couldn’t fully disable limit breaks when not in yellow HP or if they did disable limits then Aura might not work. I have not actually looked at the game’s code so take my guess with a grain of salt.
was coming to say this too. ive had limit show at full hp with all characters and no aura. threat level is a funky thing where youre never quite sure whats good until low hp and dead party members
It's probably the same as Card and Devour success chance. Success rate = ((maxhp-current HP)/max HP)*100 I've never specifically seen it show up at 100% without aura, but i am not sure.
About that without the GOD mode PS4 cheat on limit breaks tend to be usable on the chosen party member at FULL HP if EVERYONE ELSE is dead that's why you don't NEED the GOD mode cheat to Solo Seifer Limit break enemies to death BEFORE Selphie first joins the party IF you keep Squall and Zell dead.
Yes WiTH the GOD mode cheat on while you'll NEVER die unless you take a 9999 hit OR a DEATH spell connects I NEVER had The End show up even once with the God mode cheat on Rinoa's limits are the same with God mode on Rinoa will NEVER trigger Invincible moon as a limit break IF you ever learn it. But then again I almost NEVER had her trigger Wishing Star under God mode turn on either BUT Wishing Star kind of unlocks at the same time you can Angel Wing Limit Meteor spells.
Blue waffle. Still can't believe you remember that. I was the one who did the donation on your ff8 randomize challenge for the naming rights if that GF.
Not a bug to get limits at full health when you have dead party members. I believe your crisis level goes up when ANYONE is dead or afflicted with statuses even if you have full health, all be it a low chance, spamming triangle will inevitably get you a limit.
I wouldn't worry about the forced non-Selphie boss fights tbh; most challenge runs or solo character speedrun tables just have the rule that if the character isn't available then the rules don't apply until your character is available again - it's nice to see you able to mod Selphie into the Irfrit fight etc. but I wouldn't worry too much. Tbh if it was my challenge run, I'd have allowed Aura and other party members to attack themselves to raise the threat level!
Same here. I'm midway through Disc 2. Thank God I got the version on Steam with 3x Speed, good lord does it like taking time to introduce enemies for every random encounter.
Doing this in the modern era instead of on original hardware where you could open the disc drive and pause the enemy whilst you spammed for The End.... Ultimecia met that cheese more than once. (Literally. You had to hit it with her four times because it just advances her dialogue).
Good luck beating Final Fantasy 8 with only Blue Magic. Most of Quistis' Blue Magic that does damage hits like a wet noodle on bosses compared to the other character's Limit Breaks. At least card mod will let you get Blue Magic without needing to fight too much.
But at least Degenerator works on ALL BUT 6 enemies non bossses but the ONLY Lethal NON boss immune to it are Tonberries Gnats Lefty Righty and Visages also immune are way too easy to kill.
@@veghesther3204 I thought about bringing up Degenerator but he's going to avoid killing random encounters entirely to keep boss levels and stats low as possible. And when he does do random encounters he's likely going to be using card mod to avoid EXP and use card mod to morph cards.
Well a LLG is impossible Siren STILL needs to be at lv 100 in order to learn Shock Wave Pulsar and on a SOLO Quisitis run I'd likely have HER at lv 100 BEFORE Siren does that's really her ONLY limit for boss fights that isn't crap.
What if he modded to get her nova spell or whatever with max magic? I bet that run would be really easy in that case that's one of the only moves that breaks the 9999 limit
Oh about the teachers. There was a discussion at work like 1½ ago where they talked about "teachers you had a crush on" and everyone was sharing then they turned to me as I was all quiet and all I told them was "Imagine someone from the stone age"
Halfway through the video, amazing work as always mate! One question, I know you can't spawn Selphie into the Edea Disc 1 fight but isn't it true you can get all characters KO'd in that battle and the game continues? I'd say that doesn't count as a fail if so!
Maybe I misunderstood the bit in the beginning about using the Encounter None ability to skip Laguna's dream sequence. I'd swear I've had that equipped before and still got a dream sequence.
Nice to see you not wasting time killing every other character in battle. It just makes things harder by wasting time and meat shields without really adding anything to me.
Shout to NGPlus and there LB only FF8 challenge for this and credit to whoever they sourced but at 10:25 The End appearing depends on what table you land on when using Slots (which moves to the next table whenever it becomes her turn and ofc you can use Slots) I believe it only appears on a total of 4 tables out of a total possible 32 or 64 and those The End tables are only accessible at certain levels.
@@Primalliquid92 great work btw enojy it reall much , no but a no junctioning run , basically he breaks down how selphies limit works for the last bosses other wise it would be nearly impossible.
I consider the fights where you're modding in characters to be more of a bonus anyways. So if the mods don't work, I don't think that's a challenge fail.
I was stunned to hear that after 100's of hours playing ff8 you didn't know limits can appear without critical hp, how had that never happened you before now 😂
Because arranging to have status afflictions is more effort than just dropping to 0 HP and getting revived. Most people exploiting limits are either using low HP or casting aura, because they're just more convenient. Seeing limits on white HP is just mega rare if you're playing optimally.
After watching it’s being triggered by hitting triangle as he takes the damage, it wasn’t that it pops up randomly. Well that’s how I understood it 🤔 Surely he knows about random limit appearance by know I hope 🤣
30:25 At low, but not yellow health, if your threat level is high enough you can still get limits. I think it works even near max health when both other party members are dead. Also this challenge is completely cheesable on old psx hardware: you open the cover and the game stops tge batyle, but alliws you to reroll your slots.
Just a thought I had, but waiting on Do Over sort of reminds me of my experience with Chrono Trigger, where with a certain level/setup it was less economical to do Triple Techs than it was just to do everyone's strongest single-target attacks. (This also left my healer available instead of tying up their action.) What I'm saying is maybe just doing chip damage is better sometimes than waiting for that super strong magic cast while the enemies are chipping away at *you* instead. Of course, this is just conjecture from what I'm watching in the video, and I know your lived experience playing it probably disproves that theory in at least a few battles, but I've always been a speed over strength type in games, and sometimes that cumulative damage is a lot more than going for the crazy attacks with a lot of build up.
Okay, okay, that's what I get for commenting before I'm finished watching. I see that you did certainly prioritize speed over strength in some fights. Also commenting again because I forgot to say that I'm praying to RNGesus for lots of turn skipping this time around.
The card rule degradation thing is misinformation, I've played triple triad just as much as you (bold claim, I know) and All always reverts to One. I don't know where the misinformation began at, but it's wrong.
it was a long believed myth. so much so that you seem to be the only one in the comments to point it out. many of the most well known ff8 players know of the myth and try to spread the truth. for anyone else wondering, this myth has been extensively tested out, and people have checked the game code, nothing like this exists. the rule will often change to another rule that has been used, that is part of what has caused a confirmation bias. i believed it as well for 15+ years
I started watching you because of the insane grinds for the “how powerful can we get before X” videos. That said, I’m glad you’re taking a shortcut now and then. The amount of time you’ve dedicated to the grind is insane. I’m more interested in the theory than hearing you agonize over 500 hours locked in a minigame. Not that that isn’t entertaining 😅
Actually, this is the EASIEST challenge if you play on the PSX hardware. You see, Selphie got ONE NASTY trick on this hardware....OPEN THE DISC TRAY DURING HER LIMIT BREAK AND ROLL THE SLOT. After you are done with your choice of spell, close the disc tray. Enemies WILL NOT ATTACK YOU WHEN THE DISC TRAY IS OPEN!!!!
The GOD mode cheat makes HER UNKILLABLE only 9999 moves/death magic IF it connects would kill her but even with that Cheat on I NEVER had The end trigger and she's still useless like against the Red Giant WITHOUT IT.
Nah mandatory "fails" shouldnt be a run ender. Amazing effort and dedication, props for all you do
I do like carrying on after mandatory fails on these challenges, I think tbh they shouldnt count as a fail if theres literally no way around, getting to and taking down the boss should be the challenge
in all fairness if a character is not available for use in then it is fine, i would argue modding and hacking in character is much more of a cheat move
Agreed, it’s just a matter of using “minimum” terminology rather than saying “only” as a descriptor.
Agreed, unless every other fight starts being impossible or something you should carry on.
The red giant thing is fine, we know it works and can be done. Showing that it can be done yet again would just be time being wasted that could be spend on progress. I'll let it slight.
The phrase "I've served my time" comes to mind.
"But I've never seen it done!" I mean this is true, but I can just go find the previous videos, lol.
The new red giant method seems perfectly legit to me, no need to go through the motions.
so glad somebody agrees lol
I have no problem with it here... No shortcuts on my run though.
We’ll just consider it a Spiffing Brit exploit :D
@@frogboy2002 Perfectly balanced indeed

Not opposed to the 2 bosses, and Red Giant bit. Thank you for doing this!
Free pass for red giant is defo fair game. The question in the video is "is it possible...". Regardless of whether you do it or not, it's still possible. 😊
YESSSSS A NEW FFVIII VIDEO!
Truly a king putting yourself through this for us.
Ooh free merch i am SO there! I love your content. Im still amazed at how good you are at those ffx mini games
I appreciate the sanity you spend completing (or trying to complete in some cases) these challenge runs for us! Keep up the great work!!
I just beat Ultemecia with 4 "The Ends" last weekend. I can't imagine beating the whole game line this.

Selphie's slots were always my favorite limit break in FF8 ^_^
Agreed, mandatory conditions shouldn't count for the challange
I wasn't expecting this one to be beatable so good job. You could have kept yourself blinded and silenced for more consistently decent limits and to access slots at higher health. If you aren't auto attacking or using magic/draw/gf anyway then they're effectively permanent mini-aura spells.
About that in FF8 Silence IRC actually PREVENTS Limit use especially if a LIMIT ONLY uses SPELLS.
@@veghesther3204 Slots with Selfie definitely still works. I'm not sure about about how it affects Rinoa's magic Limit though as I never use her.
I Know things have been tough for you, so I'm really happy you got a sponsor!
You don't need to mod Selphie in at disc 2 Balamb at all. You have the option to add her the moment you pass by the guard at the front.

Thank you for suffering through another challenge run of my favorite Final Fantasy for our entertainment 😁
You could have used Counter on Squall to get past Disc 1 Seifer then taken the loss against Edea and continued. No rule breaks required.
Auto reflect for NORG?
You are suffering for us. Thank you!
You deserve likes and a sub!!
absolute madness this time! saved to watch for tomorrow when I got time ❤
I gotta respect the patience your runs require and your community must continue to pray to rnjesus for your sanity.

Yea we're onto some tough ones which take a little longer

Yet another crazy challenge. I swear FF8 is one of my fave games ever and no way I could submit myself to this RNG fest
Your videos are awesome! Great job!
its funny seeing aura show up in the slots since you could use that followed by a full cure to have a lot more hp room to continue rolling.
the problem with auro especially on the PC version of the game is that it runs out so damn fast
The end always feels good. I once defeated weapon with the end...
crisis level that has to do with hp doesn't actually require yellow hp
Maybe I misunderstood the bit in the beginning about using the Encounter None ability to skip Laguna's dream sequence. I'd swear I've had that equipped before and still got a dream sequence.
you get the dream sequence but get to skip the random encounters
Nice to see you not wasting time killing every other character in battle. It just makes things harder by wasting time and meat shields without really adding anything to me.

it was a long believed myth. so much so that you seem to be the only one in the comments to point it out. many of the most well known ff8 players know of the myth and try to spread the truth.
for anyone else wondering, this myth has been extensively tested out, and people have checked the game code, nothing like this exists.
the rule will often change to another rule that has been used, that is part of what has caused a confirmation bias. i believed it as well for 15+ years
I remember the first time I got the end… good times. RN, I’m playing through FF3 3D. I would much rather be playing 8.
Ofc you can do Ultimecia. No doubt in my mind.
Oh RNG goodness.
Gotta love Triple Triad
Casual 70h to start and play T.T. reminds me of the good old time...
"Galbadia? Let's give them some freedom!"
Your videos are my kind of ASMR 😂 Better than silly scratching sounds
🤗
When will you do another generation guide for records of agarest? I still need gen 4 and 5.
I started watching you because of the insane grinds for the “how powerful can we get before X” videos. That said, I’m glad you’re taking a shortcut now and then. The amount of time you’ve dedicated to the grind is insane. I’m more interested in the theory than hearing you agonize over 500 hours locked in a minigame. Not that that isn’t entertaining 😅
Angelo Only run seems to be the next gamble run
Actually, this is the EASIEST challenge if you play on the PSX hardware. You see, Selphie got ONE NASTY trick on this hardware....OPEN THE DISC TRAY DURING HER LIMIT BREAK AND ROLL THE SLOT. After you are done with your choice of spell, close the disc tray. Enemies WILL NOT ATTACK YOU WHEN THE DISC TRAY IS OPEN!!!!
yes, but im not on ps1 hardware lol
@@Primalliquid92 Yeah, I know. Just a fun little fact. Even for the PS2, I did the trick with Tales of the Abyss to get Vorpal Sword Early. LOL
You could do the same with a regen effect in ff7 fun fact
Wouldnt be much fun to do this trick as you'd just get The End every time...
The GOD mode cheat makes HER UNKILLABLE only 9999 moves/death magic IF it connects would kill her but even with that Cheat on I NEVER had The end trigger and she's still useless like against the Red Giant WITHOUT IT.
