    I like how the "You Are Not Alone" sequence is just this beautiful, moving payback from the party to Zidane for all the times he's been there for them, pulling him back in his darkest moment... and yet in all the challenge runs, it's specially designed to throw a wrench into whatever rules you're working with.

  • @NesuCross
    @NesuCross Місяць тому +2

    I remember I was 15 when I uploaded my Level 1 run. It was a big challenge, but I was glad to have achieved it. To take note for those who don't want to deal with the pain that Tantacles had to deal here we go:
    To make more easy to get Add Status or effects based in probability as well as filling up Trance bar, be sure to have a high level of Spirit, this makes easier to get Quina to petrify the mages and Vivi to Stop every single enemy. There are other options like Freya's Heavy Lance for the Red Dragon, but it's heavily dangerous due the damage inflicted.
    Cotton Robe Trick is useful if you made yourself with the 10.000 gil of the sword scene with Blank. Other ways to make more money are with Leather Plates or Desert Boots, but Cotton Robe is way more easier and more if you are in disc 3. Disc 4 is more complicated due you need to make two travels from Burmecia and Dali.
    On certain places like the route to Treno and in general if you want to avoid stubborn encounters, you can use Stutter Walk Trick by mashing the d-pad without holding it, this helps a lot.
    On normal scenarios, Thievery is a great move, but to achieve the neutral full damage is tedious at a ridiculous level as the full damage is reached after 870 successful steals, you can easily spend 30+ hours stealing with Bandit and Master Thief abilities activated to optimize the stealing rate.
    One of my common strategies was to mainly steal Serpion and kill as these are assured 100 successful steals and kills, at Dali I can find Pythons that has at least 4 items to steals and are always found in groups of 2 or 3, the usual is after disc 3 synth Sargatanas and use Soul Blade to petrify them and make the process way more easier.
    If you felt lost about the calculation, Thievery's fixed damage is based in (N°of steals) x (base speed/2), as Zidane's base speed, you have to divide the damage by 11.5 to get an estimated amount of steals.
    On other things, there are missable item steals, so be sure to take these.

    • @ashm4938
      @ashm4938 Місяць тому +1

      most enemies after Lindblum have 2-3 drops, I farm about 650 there (also gives a good opportunity to go to Qu's Marsh for frogs a few times too), as for the other 200 or so steals, I make those up as I play the game up until the point I get thievery, by then almost max damage

    When I played through FF9 I got caught up overleveling by grinding out all the equipment at every available location and then grinding out all the abilities rinse and repeat at evey new location and equipment. I got as far at the Red Hat Rat Tree before I got bored and played something else for a while. And I forgot all about FF9. And I forgot about FF9 for so long that I never picked it back up. I'm glad I could vicariously beat this game through you!

    Fun Fact: On the near end of disk 3, when you fight Kuja, do not, and I repeat, DO NOT use auto reflect on your team because Kuja will spam Flare Star on your team. I did this a long time ago thinking I can trick Kuja by using his magic spells since that's what he has that it will bounce back on him. But I was wrong. He was smart, knowing my trick, and punished my team by spamming Flare Star. So yeah... that got me off guard.

    -For Lani's Water spell I think you could have learn Reflect on Garnet, with a staff you can still to one of the 2 clown twins.
    -Similarly for Meltigemini you could have counter his Bio by setting Reflect on everyone with Carbuncle, the same goes for Necron's aga spells.

That's a cool strat, also the zombie thing yes very annoying but once you get it, for whatever reason you can heal the zombie character with a tent at a save point for 1/2 hp, so 2 tents you'll have full hp in zombie. This doesn't work in the overworld tho.
