FF1 NES No Text 4:12:19
This is a challenge run where I beat the game without any on screen text. I had to do all menuing and everything based on memory. If I try this again I'll have to remove the curser and windows...we'll see if that ever happens.

มุมมอง 1.6K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is where I beat FF1 NES using only damage that comes from the Nun-Chuck weapon type...this is a long video and I had to cut out some of the exp grind...thanks to TH-cam only allowing 12 hour long videos.
FF1 NES Harm and Hammer 5:49:54

Why would anyone want to do this? Black mage is the weakest character?
Not going to lie. This was the hardest thing to watch. I only finished it because i wasn't going to leave one video unwatched. Lol. It triggered me not knowing where gear, items, and statuses were at. Probably won't watch another one unless you figure out how to run a non modded version in tandem. Lol. Great job though!
@@andrewstone8657 look at the other comments on this video, I even go over that.
@shanezell I'm not complaining. I'm really not. It just showed me how much I rely on visuals in ff1. I really am impressed by your skill set. Especially in ff1.
@@andrewstone8657 I think a lot of us do in most games. If I ever do this kind of run again I'll have to play two games at once...one with and one without visuals.
This was really cool. When the title just said "no text" I thought it doesn't sound interesting or that challenging. Luckly I watch every one of shane's videos. This wasnt just no text. It was no text AND no icons. Normally I just watch these videos to fall asleep to, but this one was one to watch while awake. I think "semi-blind" for the title could get more viewers. If you do decide to do this run again and make even more things invisible though, I would caution you not to remove things needed to keep it fun to watch. Not sure what that might be, but i cringed at the idea of there not being a cursor. But I will watch either way, keep it up!
When I did this on Twitch I called it a Semi-Blind" run and every other person was like this isn't a blind run you're watching the screen and blah blah...So I figured no text was just safer to not confuse anyone. If I do the run again I plan to try and play 2 games at once where on one screen you guys get to see the game with normal gameplay and a smaller screen for you guys would be my screen with almost nothing on it. The problem is getting the NPC RNG to line up right on both games...until I can figure out how to do that I will not try the challenge again.
if only the crown was like the one in Vampire Survivors and gave you an experience boost lol
0:41 Mission failed. That building says "INN" j/k, this was a badass run! I've thought about trying to play a Japanese copy of FFIV. I've finished that game dozens of times. I could probably recite the storyline, but spells and weapons/items would be a pain...
@@Typical.Anomaly just being able to see text and gold prices and what you have equipped, if you have something equipped helps lol. I can't read Japanese but playing the JP version is so much easier compared to having no text at all.
@@shanezell _That_ would be too frustrating for me lol
Top comment
i agree
This is incredible. I've been playing this game again, and I remember most things from memory, but dang.
Was going to leave a message, but [Text Missing]
This was one of the more interesting challenges I think you've done. I really like the runs where you use the whole party (like the "as intended" run) rather than power leveling up a few toons to carry the team. But I guess that's necessary in a speedrun format.
Great game! I would like to see more. So how about you attempt to clear it using only a theif/ninja and one wm/ww?
He’s done solo runs. They are all on the channel. Solo thief was the longest, I think. 20 hours or so.
I swear, you're a masochist; the shit you put yourself through in this game. :P On the other hand, as someone that has played this game for.... 32 years.... I might be able to handle the no text challenge. haha
Memory check goes crazy, I was waiting for u to accidentally sell sun sword or buy SABR or something but you handled somehow
I did make a mistake early on, I bought a hand axe instead of a short sword...but I hardly buy weapons in that shop anymore. It was minor and didn't really hurt me.
I got a job and I should typically be there when you're streaming. I'll catch you when I can.
If I had a nickel for every time he explained that “intelligence stat isn’t a bug”… 😂
People ask all of the time, like you can't fix what isn't broke my guys.
Hey! I make The Legend of Zelda (NES version 8-bit) ROM hacks and would love to see you try to tackle one. They are tricky and challenging. Definitely will make you think at times. I can E-mail you one if you would be up for the challenge. I changed shops, dungeon locations, dungeon items, dungeon maps, outside world map, secrets and more. I would enjoy watching you play a blind play through it
Flashing of the spells used to hurt my eyes good that there is less of that. BTW can you stop the fan when you record it makes a lot of distracting lights during the video.
I'm sorry that it is distracting for you but it is way too hot here in Texas for me to not have the fan on.
Damn you're good doing ice cave in less than 2 hours with no casualties
it is crazy how different the game would have been and honestly it would have been too easy IMO.
The game as intended was designed by the seat of their pants. And then it would have been the "Final Fantasy" instead of 30 games later. #Squaresoft But imagine being born in Iran to a wealthy Iranian family and you got to skip out on suffering/death in Iran during the revolution and instead you got a free pass to the United States to study computer science. But you're also somehow friends with Doug Carlston the owner of Broderbund(Don't start if you're not a child of the 80's/90's). But Doug Carlston also happens to know people at Square? And, the founder and president of Square at the time was also named Miyamoto. What are the odds of that? Along with Hironobu Sakaguchi being a fanboy of yours. #simulation #Nasir Anyway, you're not doing this run if Nasir didn't have to program this game on a cocaine binge in 3 weeks back in 1986. Which is great. You're a baller. And still shorter than your 4 Knight run.
Never tried the randomizer. I've been using 'ff1 restored'; seems legit.
Yay! The game played as intended!!
Equipment casting spells is the biggest unbalancing element in this game.

@@Keith-k3m I have never actually played the first 2 LoZ games before.
You were wise to drop out of wow after tbc. It was downhill after wotlk
I really like the idea of a “fewest menu openings” run, though I think the select menu should be allowed. But that’s just me.
I wanted to do this with a hyper focus on classes (fighter melee, bm nukes, wm heals, etc) but that seemed too boring. Was thinking I'd do reverse roles though - fighter only heals, bm only melee etc. Didn't really think about a team of reds with a focus on one thing though.😅
I plan on doing one with a blm as the tank, whm as the melee dps, fighter as the healer and a thief as the buffer.
@shanezell looking forward to it! I'm still struggling along with a 4 bm/bw melee damage only run. Took me way to long to get over the wizards/astos wall. Ordeal was easy as hell, but the ice cave was pretty annoying 😆
~2:02 -- "we can ignore his one point of damage!" -- NO! The run is ALREADY invalidated! You need to do it again! 😜(Just joking -- I don't think the one point of damage from Dan's fists of fury meant anything when you had harm doing like 30 points of damage)
I do so many different kinds of runs everyday, it is so easy to just go into autopilot mode. I just did another run today where I did something similar.
I had the idea to do something similar to this on my last run, but forgot that the Defense sword requires job advancement. I ended up with the Sun Sword and Light Axe on my two Fighters, with a Red Mage for buffing, and a White Mage for sustain. Now after watching a bit of this video I decided to start my own version of this run and sort of play along!
Can I be your video editor? free
@@fortrixw I'm currently not interested in having anyone work for me. Thanks for the offer and I'll keep it in mind, but at this time it's not something that I'm looking for.
@@shanezell a ok no prob :')
Why is the third spot safer than the fourth spot? I thought they both had a 1/8 chance of getting hit.
@@BeKindRewind77 on enemies that only have 1 swing and have normal crit ratio (a lot of them) they can only land a crit on slot 1 or 4. This makes slot 3 much safer imo.
Thanks. You mentioned somewhere in this video that 1st and 4th slots were most likely to get crit and I thought it was more of a “isn’t that just my luck” situation, not an actual mechanic. This makes sense now
@@BeKindRewind77 it's just on how limited the RNG is and how it can only be so random. If you get enemies with more swings or a higher crit rate they can crit other slots, but most enemies can't.
Sweet beard! When I get one, I will be be-beardo the Wizardo!
I haven't caught a stream for a while. Glad I saw this pop up on my feed.
Same, nice to see the man behind the voice
What a fitting ending, nice work!
"If he dies, he dies." - Ivan Drago
~3:53:00 -- I'm ALSO in the proud solo thief completion tier, and on PR no less. Issue is I had to grind all of vit, str, and agility every single level till i could beat chaos, at level cap (think it's 50 for PR), issue is I had to spam stats items to get the solo theif through. I'm assuming your NES run probably went better (probably attributable to your greater familiarity with challange runs, hopefully :) )
@@roymerkel8008 in PR it's way easier to solo the game as any class. Max level is 99 and you have items to raise stats and buffs that work. On NES it took me like 24 hours, I'm guessing on PR I could do that in like 8 hours or less.
@@shanezell for me it took a fair bit longer beause I got comically bad luck on the stat rerolls (though some 3 stat rerolls are 1/256 to pull, so maybe about average), also i rerolled all 99 levels to get 3 stats, which was probably not the right choice. Looking at this video, looks like rerolls were only neccessary through Lich, then any roll was good. I think you are right about 8 hours if I stat rerolled only for Lich as you did. For the NES, my run got as far as Kraken, then I managed to lose my own save (HD failure and the save wasn't properly backed up), but think your estimate is about right assuming average - good luck on rerolls.
Have you discord? pls I want to tell you
@@fortrixw I do have a discord yes, but it's not something I want to post here.
So max out blackbelt then job change?
Maxing out the levels you want on the black belt before class changing is the best bet yes, but you can always class change early...it just hurts your magic defense.
my sister husbend is still in the army he was in germany for 5 years theve been back now i think for 2 years name was tyler
I love you vidéos. What is you nationality?
Just a boring old American.
One fighter, two thieves which become blackbelts---and the white mage
Thieves become ninjas.
~21:00 -- I was going to recommend the peninsula grind then remembered that you are stuck with 'chucks until the end of the game so I quietly Homer Simpson Gif-ed instead of posting that recommendation (luckily as that would have looked dumb on my end ;-p )
~33:00 -- "there's NEVER going to be an unarmed White Mage Challange" -- I think Sullah BARELY did it on the NES with 2 warriors, a red mage, and a white mage, I think 4 white mages would either never kill Chaos unarmed, or would take LITERAL hours.
I found your channel and have been just binging watching all the FF1. Its one of my favorite games and I love seeing the original played.
@@AspenArrow I'm glad that you enjoy it. I still have more random videos to add overtime, I just have to get around to doing more challenges.
Proof that you don't need to grind
~16:02 -- "maybe I should fight sharks instead?" Not sure if your level 2-3 bare handed fighters could have pulled it, but you might have been able to manipulate fights with kyozu (buccanners in Pixel Ramstered), those would give a LOT of money early on (almost as much as the Ogres). Issue is that they are tough initially -- probably less tough then a shark, but still maybe too much for the party.
@@roymerkel8008 Kyzoku are terrible exp, good for gold sure... But when you don't need that money they are pretty useless. Sharks have zero defense so hitting them barehanded even the red mages can do damage.
@@shanezell yeah, I remembered the Sharks being more dangerous then they were. Also, ~1:42:00 (RE: as per bare hands vs chaos), I think Sullah did it with 2 fighters, a red mage, and a white mage beating Chaos all bare handed, but I don't recall how he did it (I want to say he manipulated game mechanics or mild glitches, but it's been too long and I don't remember.) But all of that is not applicable to this particular challange as this is the Vorpal Blade challange not the Iron Fists 2 -- the sequal ;)
Can this "credits warp" trick be done on the U.S. version of the game? And if so, how?
It can't be done no. The NA version doesn't have the Japanese characters necessary to make this work.
@@shanezell, that's unfortunate, but understandable. What about the Final Boss Warp to Chaos, using the stairway trick? Does that fall under the same purview as this credits warp trick? I presume so, since it seems that the only difference between the two are the naming conventions involved...?
@@simondiamond9628 You can't do anything other than crash the game with the stairs on the NA version as far as anyone currently knows.
Oh hey! I finally get to see your face! You... don't look anything like how I imagined.
I thought the same :) He looks good though!
I love your any% run stats on the right. The implication that you walking back and forth on the stairs suddenly causes Ogres to appear and murder you got a chuckle out of me.
@@charlettmoon2693 I was doing NA runs before this and just kinda left them up. One day I'll get a new WR.
Nice to finally see your face. = ]
And now we begin yet another playthrough of the quintessential JRPG on the NES, this time in Japanese, featuring the adventures of Aaaa, Yorueki, Aaaa and Chigoayu! 😅
How does this glitch work?
Look up ff1 stairs glitch. Kinda underwhelming. Basically just a memory overflow related to some of the staircases in the game
It is pretty much a stack that keeps adding up and never remove anything from the stack. After hitting the top we use the names of our guys to skip to the credits.
Would you make a video or even play a mod of FF1 with additional/pallet swapped weapons that have the same stats as other weapons, or are about the same? More daggers, axes, hammers, staves that follow progression like the swords of the game etc?
@@Zanketsune I mean I could play modded versions of the game, but that's not something that I plan to focus on.
