Pyromancies Only: Dark Souls 1-3: Summary
Max is rare drop in nabudis from those flying shaits that is most likely where you got it. All you need is to grind for long enough and you would have whole set. There is metric ton of gear availible across nabudis, honestly if you just drop there right before tomb of raithwall and get everything from there and shaft from barheim you can coast the entire story without ever stopping ...... Granted you can do the same by using trial mode or picking up that invisible bow but honestly I find invisible weapons to cheesy for my taste and trial mode makes the game to easy so I prefer not to touch those. ( I am not saying you should not, I just prefer not to do that!)
I was in high school when this came out. I feel old now. Haha.
The only challenge type run any of my friends have done is one did a shields only run. He used no actual weapons. It was kinda cool and his damage was surprisingly high
Big sword and big shield were definitely a neat way to experience the game. I am mostly a magic player and it was a lot of fun to watch how you solved the different problems in these playthroughs
Magic and fast weapons are normally more my speed. But there is something very satisfying about big bonks.
I'm a heavy DS3 Player.... It's miserable. The game is just not made for it.
Good to know. Not super surprising with how much faster 3's combat is compared to 1 and 2, but glad I didn't have to play 3 in heavy load. lol.
is there a video with all 4 scholars ?
No magic in final fantasy or whips only in ds
A whip only DS run would be entertaining to watch
What souls challenge should I do next?
I love this game so much, but it is the worst looking FF game of all. I really wish they would've stuck with the original plan to use the Chrono Trigger graphic style for the main levels and do polygons for the battle scenes. *sigh* at least it's been remade and looks stunning. Great video!
Yeah, I see it is a necessary step on the way to the much better work they'd do in later games. But just looking on it's own it's pretty rough.
I appreciate the "gotta go fast" but if you got Mog, you'd get the gold hairpin, moogle charm, and Umaro. Moogle charm up the Cult of Kefka tower to get the gem box.
Have you tried an itemless monk challenge?
I have not. But it's definitely on the list to give it a try. Monk has such a diverse moveset in this game.

My memories of FF12 were odd. I played through it and.. it seems that toward the end, I just maxed out the license grid and everyone could equip the same things and there seemed to be little uniqueness to any character. I kinda got bored of it and that's not a good thing when you're almost at the end of the game, to not be excited about your characters. I also hated trying to find the gambits that would be the most useful and tracking down an online guide in 2003 was annoying, at least to me and I didn't really want to get the secret items. Can't explain it. I don't hate the game, I just thought it was boring by the end. I wasn't excited for the power level of the characters.
Yeah, while the original's license grid has it's defenders, it did ultimately result in characters being very similar because it was very easy to max out everyone by endgame. I much prefer the Job boards introduced in the international version (used as the base for the zodiac age remaster). And yes. I like the gambit system, but it definitely needs another user interface pass because actually setting up gambits is very annoying.
@@Xephrost_Gaming What really did it most for me was that i wanted to track down some rare things and so I was in some optional end dungeons and the power creep was very high. Single mobs were always nearly wiping my party.. and while sometimes hilarity ensued, it wasn't enough to keep me. Yes I had the original release version.
Red mage only... I've never tried this. But I recall a legend of a solo RM who killed even warmech.
32:09 "More accurate" confidently says as he shows the attack missing a single target three times in a row
My favorite bit is to undermine something I say by showing footage that makes it suspect.
Chocobos have a lot of survivability in general and Choco Meteor is actually very good So usually chocobos are some of the best thing you can use And bombs If you want a quick self destruction tactic with a lot of deaths
1-1 > 4-1 pick up crescent falchion. Gg 90% of enemies.
So, given the issues you've been having with the PR, what version of ff3 would you recommend? I have played the DS version but I want the least unfun experience to actually beat it
Is it posabull to to beat the game with the assassin dager ? The ko dager. U can get in the mine wen savine penalo ?
I don't know playing challenges on FFT Vanilla is fun and all, but once you play something like FFT 1.3, you don't go back to Vanilla anymore, since it is legit hard.
Backlog buster just completed a white mage solo run in his 22 job challenge run for ff5. I learned a lot from watching him play, including a tedious and long but feasible way to beat byblos.
Great work Xephrost_Gaming, awesome explanation of ideas and splendid conclusion of each tier listing. Which game did you enjoyed the most playing ? I think you did not mentioned that, and if you did, I missed it XD. I am glad I joined your channel, you have great content !!
I think FF12 was the most fun to do. 5 was pretty close because magic is very strong in that game, but I always am a big fan of most of 12's systems.
@@Xephrost_Gaming I have to play FFXII now , it looked pretty cool
Big sword for the win!
Big sword.
It's criminal that you don't have a bigger following. I found your channel a few weeks ago and I've binged most of your videos. Your style of humor has made me ugly laugh quite a few times. Keep up the awesome content!
That 3:17 jump/mid air damage XD pretty nice trick. Yeap, these games will be difficult, I used to play Castlevania II Simon's Quest and i could not pass through certain area because I was a child and did not had the problem solving ability for a more complex game XD then I saw my older brother passing that area (i will not spoil it, so I am not mentioning which area) and my mind just exploded !!! I was like, is that how you do it FOR REEEEAALL!!!?? But I had a lot of fun, to be honest, from the older Castlevanias I enjoy Simon's Quest the most because is not a linear game, you have to explore and get items, it was a Pre-Metroidvania game :) Great video, a lot of pain and suffering in it due the dragon heads, the small jumping dudes and the falling.
Would love for someone to make a game designed around this. Monster capture plus FFT style combat
Yeah, that would be amazing. I would absolutely play a game like that.
I love your videos, not for the games or the challenges (despite them being fun), but your voice and speech pattern are just phenomenal, don't know why but my neurospicy brain is in love with your voice. I've been using your videos to soothe me when work gets to be a bit overwhelming so, thank you for being you I guess :D
Why the F did i not once think of using a black chocobo to get over that wall??
I hadn't thought of it until this playthrough and it was very funny to troll him like that.
Phenomenal run, thanks for sharing. Low faith hack for monsters is genius, and I've never seen anyone fly away from Gafgarion in that battle which was absolutely hilarious.
It's really funny because he just runs into the back corner of the map and waits.
WotL has A LOT of extra battles than the PS1 version, didn't know that
Imagine being a console scrub lmao
Spoken like a twelve year old in 2013.
YAY more beeg sword go bonk!
Big sword isn't always the best option. But it is always my favorite option.
Super excited for Nightreign!!!!
3 player Elden Ring roguelike was not on my bingo card, but that just means the bingo card was wrong. I'm very excited.
@@Xephrost_Gaming Will you do video about it? If yes, who will be the other 2 players? Is it collab time?
Is the Fear strat on Chaos still viable? In FF1 there was a TAS that did solo WM run and it used Fear multiple times on Chaos and got him to run
That's incredible. I did not know that was a strategy. From looking on the wiki, it looks like this no longer works in the pixel remaster version.
@@Xephrost_Gaming sadness. I would've liked to pull that trick on Chaos in a WM run. I just finished an all BM run on XBOX, and trophy farmed (Warmech was a pain to get to spawn)
Talking to monster in order to recruit them ? Ain't that a Shin Megami Tensei thing ?
you should call this video Final Fantasy Tactics but it's Pokemon so more people watch it. (not meaning to backseat ;) ) you deserve more viewers! love your content
12:52 *satisfying*
Great video!! Also, great grinding from lvl 30 to 60, that last boss looked pretty difficult. I will subscribe to your channel :) As I mentioned on my last comment (FFT pokemon video), I really like the way you describe all the events, the story, the strategy that succeeded (the ones that failed) and many comic comments. Keep doing the good work you are doing, keep that essence that you have in your videos. Do you accept challenges from the comments ? just to know because we can give our opinion in which games we would like to see in the future for your challenges.
I'm always open to suggestions on what challenges to do next.
@@Xephrost_Gaming finishing Final Fantasy Tactics with only secret characters could be a challenge ? I really do not remember how far in the game you can get them but maybe is not even worth it, let me keep thinking on a good challenge :)
Congratulations on one contiguous year of weekly updates! That’s a lot of work.
Final Fantasy Tactics is definitely one of my favorite Final Fantasy games of all time and I love the all monster run.
Agree. FFT is great. And the all monster run was really fun to do.
This is a play through I’ve always wanted to try; I did a similar run where I selected specific monsters to fight alongside a human unit. By the way, your dismissal of Agrias and Rapha hurt my soul a little😢
It's pretty fun to play the game using monsters. And yeah, I don't normally release special characters, but figured I'd make a bit out of it since I needed the character space for monster eggs.
Was there any other Monsters that you liked but maybe were not that strong or were more difficult to obtain? Great video for real!! I love FFT and you make it even better in your videos!!
I considered Treants, but their support abilities aren't actually useful enough to justify a slot (and they are fairly rare to encounter). Skeletons have ranged attacks that I thought would be useful, but they ended up being to slow and too weak. And then I thought about ghosts (and actually recruited one at one point). But while teleport is great for movement, they are too weak and too frail to be useful.
@@Xephrost_Gaming thanks for the information, i will keep watching your other videos, I really enjoy the narrative and the content of them.
This looks like a lot of fun. My first playthrough I definitely had red chocobos carry me to victory✌️
Yeah, I would say red chocobos and Tiamats are good additions to any party. The other monsters less so, since a human unit is probably better. But Choco Meteor is such a good attack. And Hydras are busted.
It's a shame that Square Enix won't punch Pokemon and Shin Megami Tensei in the mouth. So many amazing monsters and lore in Final Fantasy. Yeah we got World of FF but dang was that annoying to play and had a horrendous visual style. Take this game's ideas and build on the "Beast Master" ideas and it would print money.
Agreed. Smash together the monster collecting of World and the combat of FFT and that is a day 1 purchase for me. Though to be fair, literally any new FFT-esque content from Squenix is a day 1 purchase.
@Xephrost_Gaming As long as the game took enemies from the entire series (Tactics, Mainline, Crystal Chronicles, etc) and was that classic "yeah this is serious but we're gonna be silly about it" vibe then it would be day one for me. There's so much FF could do with a monster catching series and it's kinda funny they did it a few times (Tactics, X-2, XIII-2, WoFF).
@@Xephrost_Gaming Side note, if you ever made a video detailing how you would want a "FF Tactics + Monster Hunter" game to work I'd totally watch it! I do a bunch of TTRPG homebrew so I'm always interested in people's thoughts on how they would want games to be.
Thank you for the video.
What a cool challenge! Was fun to see ya race through and obliterate with those monsters, especially when they don’t seem all that threatening normally. Alas now I desperately crave an FFT remake again 😭
Every day I yearn for a FFT remake. Maybe someday.
I'm surprised you didn't just recruit Gafgarion in the separated fight.
10:30 Running around to hatch eggs hoping for a specific result ; this is really a pokemon run.
I got huge 6IV Ditto vibes from that run lmao
