Greatness achieved!~

Funny enough, the toughest boss for me, from what I can recall, was actually one from the Dawn of Souls expansion to FF2 (which is only in the GBA and PSP versions). It was Ultima Weapon. Unless you took a TON of time to grind, getting this guy down was tough for me. Took me a good few days to finally grind enough to get him down and proceed.

For Christmas one year my dad bought me a PS2. He asked the worker at Walmart what game he should get me and the man asked what sort of kid I was. My dad said I was "inquisitive". For some reason that one word made Mr. Walmart recommended that my dad buy me Final Fantasy X. Young me was absolutely mind fucked by FFX and to this day, literal decades later, the game still occupies a significant place in my heart and mind. Thank you dad and thank you Mr. Walmart. Great video.

Talking about spheres what I found impressive was Lulu.

I’d love to see the reaction of the first runner to risk attacking the final Seymour with Tidus and missing only to result in a wipe

I’ve been leveling up my sphere grids for the past 40 hours of playtime. So damn annoying. Sometimes my OCD completionist habits turn against me.

Yu Yevon, a fucking tick, vulnerable to Zombie status, dies to Phoenix Down, great writing. Hopefully X-2 will be better... nevermind...

Happy to see syoGun (or what ever it was) is still putting in work lmao

Holy shit not the man i expected to see in my recommended feed. Hope you're doing well man

Is this possibly the quietest video in TH-cam's history?

Hehe Teedus

I'm just happy you say Tidus correctly 😂 my son is named Tidus, and everyone calls him Titus.

AMBUSHED by MALBORO in the calm lands Runner: 😩🥲☠️

One pet peeve at the very beginning, how can you list several types of challenge runs and *not* mention the actual most popular challenge run out there, the Pokémon Nuzlocke?

What a under appreciated channel

Incredible!!!

Quick question, in FFX-2 it turned out that the Catnip doesn’t auto-deal 9999 it just registers damage you would’ve inflicted regularly and then godmods into 9999 instead of the actual damage value. So in the event a character is so weak that they’d do 0 or game treats the attack as a whiff, there’s no damage TO convert into 9999. So my question is whether Trio of 9999 works on the same principle as the Catnip or if simply landing a hit will suffice with no regard to damage values beforehand. Seems worth asking since not leveling the Sphere Grid seems like the kind of environment where this would get tested.

No sir its not tee-dus its tidus like tide-us

The main difference between speedruns and low level runs is that speedruns are about speed and skill but low level runs are not, they are not meant to be practiced literally thousands of times but at best a couple of times so instead of mad skills and hard to trigger glitches that require weeks or months of practice people just grind endless hours in a way that leaves their level low. Especially in FFX this means using Rikku to steal obscene amounts of items since their effects are static and unaffected by her stats but in order to survive against bosses that get 5 actions for every action your party gets and can wipe your party with a single attack you need a.lot of items to mix and spam and upgrade your gear and you have to even grind Rikku's overdrive so she can use it to make items create much stronger effects than normal. Sure, there is strategy involve but far more than anything else It's a mind numbingly boring grindfest for 90% of the time.

Your channel is highly slept on great work !

Why do piranhas drop grenades???

"Flee is allowed because it has no benefit on the fights themselves" 5 minutes later: "if Tidus is attacked and dies, it makes our likelyhood of escaping pretty dire" Why do speedrunners always add these stupid exceptions just to make the challenge easier... no sphere grid means NO SPHERE GRID

what's that place on 31:10? you said omega ruins in the previous sentence but the background looks nothing like it

Amazing video but you didnt show sanctuary keeper before zanarkand

Teedus 😂

Great video mate. I was watching on my phone and didn't have any issues with the volume being too quiet, so idk about these other commenters. Something something modern technology bad

Who is teedus?

You know, I'm impressed both with the recap of the run itself and the recap of the story you give during the run. Genuinely a really great quality video.

Absolutely in love with these videos. Keep it up please😊

really... TEEDUS? dude he says it in the game. it's voiced. have you even played this fucking game?

I remember the NSG runs of FFX back in the day, but in truth I never really saw a speed run of one of them. FFX gives the players so many options that the general concensus was that NSG wasn't really hard because of how OP Rikku is in this game, you just had to knew how to play the game, so what people did was add as many restrictions as possible to the NSG run in order to ensure they actually get challenged, still none of that was in a speed run context.

Great video!!

great game. love the strategy in this run.

Personal opinion; but i think that if a runner can have flee for QoL then using it to attack and flee from ochu is pretty cheesy. Furtheermore the whole essence of NSG runs is that you're playing with your team without making it stronger. So actively making the Aeons stronger kind of goes against this imo. to be clear i have great respect for the runners, theyre still more skilled and know the game infinitely better than i do, just a couple of things im not a fan of in the NSG run :) Edit: meant to say this video is high quality! thanks :)

I remember being a kid and not understanding the Sphere grid at all so I never used it thinking I'd get stronger lvling up after battles. Not realizing those weren't levels. I remember getting to Sinspawn Gui and being there for literal months trying to figure out how to beat him and cheering. Evrae was my next big road block and it took luck with the missiles fired to defeat him. I got all the way to Seymour on Mt Gaga until I realized the Sphere Grid was how I got new abilities. The Joys of being 10 and not understanding JRPGs lol. Still super proud of it to this day and how I got into No Sphere Grid runs now.

Amazing video. Thank you.

Nice to see this got its own category. One of the first challenges created. This game lent itself to so many self imposed limitation challenges that kept it fresh for a long time. NSG is only the beginning - some of them got truly extreme.

Interesting! Basically, this is a glass cannon run, but you must load the cannon at the beginning of each fight. Rikku is the best! 😁

I did a run of the game with the Sin Unleashed mod (+60% mob stats), and a custom grid I created. Tons of fun! We have some modders working on different things for fun playthroughs as well, like custom enemy AI and other modded mechanics ^^

This was incredible. I only have the final confrontation with Seymour, the final Eon's fight and Yevon's final fight of the game left to do but when I compare the amount of griding I put into the game to what those guys do... Some people transform crazy into genius.

2:14 damn lol and then (border) wall 😂 to reduce resistance. Wish the ancient (curse) and sleep swords showed effects on enemies. Ultima weapon was very tough in mobile/psp versions, though gba spil of rebirth I think may be easier. Definitely give ricard a blood sword and ancient for that (though scott does have an ancient sword I got lucky with). Pixel remaster lacks this extra but poison axe does good damage, which 4 vs ultima weapon's 25k hp was a joke.

FFX is turn based so the only thing really impressive is the amount of time wasted figuring out the right selections.

Very impressive. But I do have one question is the Sanctuary Keeper not included for a reason or is he not worth mentioning? Because I have struggled against him in the past... Thank you for this video.

bro the fuck ur mic is so quiet i cant hear shit

Ff8 monsters are based on the lvl of Squall... Not an average of everybody.... That's why people will leave Squall at lvl 1 and the rest at lvl 100

My only complaint for this video is that your voice is super low and that i had to up the volume to around 300% to hear you clearly

31:11 what area is this this looks totally unfamiliar to me

7:30 ochu (オチュー) uses a soft ch sound, the same as the last syllable in pikachu. it comes from a D&D monster called an otyugh, which is approximated with the ch sound in japanese, but in no way is connected to any hard K sound

16:12 they actually never realize theyre on sins back... But cool easter egg to point out that a lot of people didn't know.
