Seymour Flux is one of the hardest bosses in the game. Dying repeatedly (and having to watch that damned cutscene, over and over and over...) is a rite of passage for any new FFX player. You did great!
Auto Sort your inventory!! You can thank me afterwards. Soo much nostalgia watching Seymour wreck you, must have killed me 5 times the very first time I played. Next episode is going to be fun!
So, the statue of Yuna with 'big horn on head' I think is a nod to the classic design for the summoner job in various Final Fantasy games. They often have some kind of headpiece with a horn (seen in Final Fantasy XIV recently but also IX and many older and off-main series entries). I thought that was a very sweet little 'easter egg'
Never forget the power of hastega and slow. They last the entire fight if not dispelled. Getting more turns in and enemy getting less is really strong. Not to mention shell and protect :)
Hastega is usually the best vs bosses because they're often immune to Slow or delay attack. And if the boss has to waste a turn just to cast dispel, that's a positive too. Sadly when she does cast hastega, she then immediately switches characters. 😂
I love how every single time Kasta says she's going to do a move like scan for example, she goes into every single command menu, skill, special, item etc before finally going to white magic for scan. Every time.😂
It's a bit funny yeah. To be fair I don't like how the game did skill vs special. They're all abilities so it's confusing sometimes understanding why something is special or a skill. Plus Scan being white magic just sounds weird. It could be an ability too, especially because it sounds and looks like machina that Chadley would use lol.
@@vulcanh254 Actually all of skills are just standard attack with added effect like applying status or being performed more quickly. Special abilities are far more diverse and usually don't do any direct damage. Agree with you about Scan though
It's not just scan, she's a hardcore bumbler. Just kind of bumbles around on every single turn. Like the characters that have "Extract [Ability, etc]" and no other skills, she constantly pops into those menus.
@@armorvil The problem is she keeps taking long breaks after each batch and forgets. For example, she learned back in Bevelle that save spheres heal aeons, but in this video, she's asking again how to heal them.
It was last video that she FINALLY for the first time went into the ability menu and saw, on screen, how "cure" magics weren't grayed out like everything else. But it did not register in her brain.
Kasta: *casts Protect* Seymour: *dispels Protect* Also Seymour: *wrecks everyone except Wakka, because he still had Protect on.* Kasta: “Protect is a lie.”
I mean let's be honest, she's the most clueless person I've ever seen in battle. Me and my friends were better at this game when we were 10 years old. Her brain is just like, not wired for this. At all. However she's great at connecting with the characters and story emotionally, and that's what I love to see.
Kimahri's character has some great subtle story telling. Being the runt of the Ronso, he has to leave Mt. Gagazet to learn his own way of growing "strong". Ex: Lancet(learning techniques from fiends all around Spira) as well as being the one character that is encouraged to go his own way on the sphere grid(non-expert sphere grid). Unlike Biran and Yenke he doesn't inherently possess the physical prowess that all other Ronso do, therefore leaving the nest so to speak, to realize his own unique potential before returning home to prove himself worthy.
The other Ronso can use lancet too. Lulu (I think) explains copying of techniques as a Ronso ability. The two you fight use techniques that are learnable from fiends against Kinmahri except that don’t need overdrive to do so. This game is a bit unique compared to most of the FFs I have played in that a lot of the in game character development is subtle and character backstory reveals add the most depth. When they were children Kimahri being small had a complex and was constantly mouthing off and challenging the biggest kid to a fight. He was beaten over and over again but would never admit to having lost any of the battles. Honor is very important to Ronso. Biran, also being a kid eventually got so angry with this insult he broke Kimahri’s horn. Kimarhi goes off into the world in shame, grows stronger and wiser to the point the person always mouthing off is Biran whenever they meet. Biran hasn’t managed to move on from the past (and also probably guilt he had for the horn breaking). In my internet he is constantly goading Kimahri to get a rise out of him and justify the horn breaking by proving Kimahri hasn’t changed. Though it could also be to get Kimahri to fight again and finally prove himself or that he actually ended up missing Kimahri and their fights after Kimahri left the village. Kimahri beats Biran and quietly at that. He shows he has changed. So Biran does what Kimahri was supposed to do back when he was a child which is to honor and respect the strength of the victor. He also apologizes for the horn breaking showing either growth or a Ronso belief that isn’t a punishment that should be given to children.
@@LC-sc3en Yes! You're right about Lancet, my mind completely glossed over that, thanks! I was just looking at the Ronso page on the Final Fantasy Wiki and the themes on power seems to hold up as well as traveling Spira to learn their own path.. *Spoilers for FFX-2* Heres an excerpt from the wiki page.. "Confused and angry, Garik demands that Kimahri tell the Ronso the path the tribe should take, but Kimahri has no answer and Garik rejects him as their leader. Through the example of young Ronso Lian and Ayde (who had traveled Spira in a vain attempt to fix Kimahri's broken horn), Kimahri sees that the Ronso have to travel and experience Spira to discover their path. After proving to Garik violence is not always the answer, the Ronso elder decides it is for each individual Ronso to decide their path to ensure the tribe's future." On a side note, alot of people compare Kimahri to a Blue Mage which is true, but dont see alot of people make the connection to Dragoons from past entries in the series due to Lancet and the Jump Ability. Thanks for the correction! 👍
Seymor's dispel was washing off your protects (it removes your buffs), so protect was actually working (I think it cuts his damage by half, since Protect is for physical damage and Shell for magic). But he will keep on removing it with dispel Furthermore, you took less damage from his cross slash after because you raised your defenses with "cheer", since this skill deals physical damage.
1 - If you use L2 and R2 you can skip pages rather than scrolling tediously through a large inventory and you can sort your equipment from the items menu. 2 - Rikku's Mix can be used to combine 2 different ingredients rather than using the same 1 twice. Be adventurous with your combo's. 3 - Outside of battles you can use Cura/Curaga on your team from the abilities menu. Just a couple of things to help See you at the next tip.
to be fair how do you want any newcomer to guess Rikku's combinations lol? You need to check the list in your web browser or in some kind of guide. I'm of the belief it should have been in-game.
@armorvil To the point of the OP, the "mix" tutorial has the player mix two of the same item. I like the experimental aspect of the overdrive, but the explanation needs a bit more detail.
@@armorvil Just experiment and have fun. Once you have created a combination it's in the overdrive menu, so try and remember your favourite ones or jot it down for ease of access in battle I guess!
@cirederfsamot2730 honestly our girl is gonna have to get good to beat the unofficial final boss. She probably will grind to beef everyone else up but you can't be underleveled heading into the final fight they have constant heals.
@@The810kidIf you’re talking about the final monster creation then I don’t know if we’ll get that far. I imagine she’ll do a bunch of side quests but probably not completing the monster arena or the other major boss post game. The amount of grinding required to 100% the game is insane unless you learn about the Don Tonberry trick or something similar.
Your journey will be much more difficult. When you get your guide, i highly recommend reading up on status ailments. Understanding them will be critical.
There is also an entry about them in the help menu and she did see it on the terminal in Besaid, but I seem to recall she dismissed it as unnecessary. Status effects do work similarly between FF game, but the rare ones can be hard for new players.
Right even with banish if she uses their overdrive while there are a few turns before the special she could rez Yuna or swap her out to keep her alive and summon again. That is how I did it. I avoided bio not because I didn’t know it was possible but because I had played a few other FF game where it was rather weak. In this game it is broken and I kick my child self for never noticing that. 😂
I died a ton on Seymour Flux. I even went back for power leveling. You figured out a strategy that worked, and you had fun. I think that's what many of us do on our first playthrough. Cheers on beating one of the toughest Final Fantasy bosses!
So the reason why Dispel didn't work on Biran is because Dispel works against buffs, and Berserk is considered a debuff since even though it raises attack by 50%, it also makes it so a character only uses physical attacks and you cannot control them anymore. So instead, you could've used either Esuna or a Remedy to cure Biran. The armor with Berserk Ward protects your characters against getting inflicted with the Berserk debuff.
the debuff=esuna vs buffs=dispel distinction isn't entirely correct as Dispel is what works to fix Slow (and Stop in other FFs), and things like Armor Break. This is one of those confusing things for anyone who didn't play older FFs to learn the mechanics progressively, from game to game. Maybe a better way to see this is that Dispel is for mental things while Esuna is for physical ailments? It's hard not to see Slow as some physical impairment though (I prefer to fix Slow with Haste anyway).
I've loved watching you play through this game. All the old Final Fantasy's are my favourites, and I love watching people experience them, and enjoying the magical stories that they are. So I mean this with nothing but love and respect, watching that fight was so painful. Congratulations on getting through it, and congrats to all of us watching for also getting through watching it.
Hey Kasta, I know you're ahead of us so this may not be useful to you... If you stick the Farplane Winds on a capture weapon to give it Deathstrike, the whole Monster Arena becomes waaaaaaay easier. LOVING the playthrough - you're a joy to watch!
I like to attach Deathstrike to Lulus weapons like a Cait Sith - watching the doll take out a big enemy like an Ochu in one hit is hilarious lol@SuperTrailerz
I have platinum this game about4 times in my life, and I still come back every few years or so and play through the story and beat the game normally! It is my favorite game of all time and literally changed my life. This is the first Final Fantasy I ever played. I only played sports games and racing games and stuff like that. This game open my eyes to a whole New World. When it comes to video games and just the way I look at the world around me.
This makes me feel old. I played this game when it came out. When this game came out, there was no such thing at "platinum"ing a game. You just played it.
@@jada90lol well yah, this game came out almost a decade before PlayStation even implemented trophys. When you and i played it, platinum trophies werent even an idea yet lol
I have a memory card for a PS2 somewere with a ffx save file, with over 600 hours on it. And i think i have completed the game at least 30 times over the past 20 years
@ I used to have a PS2 memory card that had my save from the first time I ever 100% completed everything, But I’ll let my friend borrow my PS2 and his girlfriend got mad at him and sold my memory card… I cried lol
Ah, the son of Jecht! Rikku run ahead and tell Auron! You are not fighting him alone! Now is your time to ... Prepare yourself, son of Jecht. I literally have this cutscene memorized for the amount of times I had to refight him as a kid 😅
Fun fact about the Yuna statue with a horn on her head: that's actually a reference to the summoner job when it first appeared in Final fantasy 3 and other titles that used summoner as a job/class (like 5 and tactics) where they would wear a headgear that had a big horn centered on their head
That's a good point. I can't believe I didn't put that together. Yeah, its been the default for several of the FF games including FF Tactics. I always interpreted that part in the game, as a respect thing from a Ronso to Yuna.
Not even five minutes into the video and the waterworks are already going. God, Final Fantasy X is SUCH a special game. Edit: And almost ending on tears after defeating that boss-though I'd kind of loved to have seen your expression when you learned you CAN poison Seymour Flux but you cast it on the Mortiorchis instead of Seymour and that's why it didn't poison him. 😂
The boss that stops the summons, it comes out of no where and it always a big learning curve for people on their first play through. really good job learning, you smoked him that last time!
Hey kasta, im not sure if anyone has given this tip but cheer stacks up to 5 times, its really useful to apply at the start with tidus plus haste to get it off more often
she has also given herself cheer 5x with Hyper Null All by mixing two musks, with all the elements nulled. The game doesn't explain it also gives you 5x cheer in one move.
The writing in this game is what makes it top for me. The whole Mt Gagazet section just shows off its strength. Seymour is really tough if you don't know he's coming, by the time I got to him I had finished monster capturing in the Calm Lands and a majority of Mt Gagazet which gave me a bit of a jump in leveling up.
Seymour Flux is arguably the most difficult fight in the game within the story. You had to learn/remember a lot on the fly, and did really well! You finding the Stamina Tablet was clutch! Also, you read the Scan correctly, and can definitely poison Seymour Flux, but you did it to the Mortiorchis instead, which is Immune. Protect (and Shell) gets dispelled, but it's good to see that Cheer does not!
2:42:39 YESSS. Was so relived when you finally figured it out loll 2:57:21 And she learns what dispel does! Woo! This boss battle really forces the player to learn lol
That battle with Seymour is one of the most difficult fights of the entire game due to how overpowered he is. It's sort of like a level check to bring your party up to speed for what's to come. Even now, after all these years and so many playthroughs, I still get one or two game-over screens at that point, so no shame for you taking your time to learn the fight and finding your own unique way to beat him! Great stuff!
So a note about the turn order- there are three things that determine turn order: the character or enemy’s speed stat, the “quickness” of their next action, and if the next action carries the “delay” status. Using an item or switching your weapons are quick actions and if it beats out the enemy’s speed you’ll get an extra turn. If you use a Delay Attack or Delay Buster that carries the Delay status which the enemy could be immune to. Valefore’s Sonic Wings is both a quick attack and carries the delay status, so sometimes it’ll show up as delaying the enemy’s turn in the turn order window, however if the enemy is immune to delay, you won’t always get that second turn and the enemy will go next.
Also, your Seymour fight wasn’t too bad. You should have been a bit more persistent on putting up Protect and trying to dispel his and his reflect. At the very least it makes him waste a turn. But at the end of the day, that Stamina Tablet came in clutch and was a really smart move.
Seymour Flux is a major difficulty spike in this game that often trips up many who play (and I'm sure has caused a fair number of rage quits). I'd personally place it as the second hardest storyline boss simply because of how much of a spike it really is. Great job getting through it on only 3 attempts, especially without using either of the two mega cheese strats.
@@youkai05 You can win 30 Wings to Discovery doing the Chocobo Race at Remiem Temple in the Calm Lands. Have Rikku Mix two of those together to get Trio of 9999. Then throw fire gems stolen from Fire Flans with Kimahri and Rikku to 9999 per hit, five hits per fire gem. Seymour goes down real fast this way.
I'm so happy for you watching you deal with Seymour. This is one of the most difficult fights in the base game even when you know what you're doing. If I remember correctly even the guidebook says it comes down to a bit of luck. It was so enthralling watching you evolve your tactics and understanding in real time. 10/10 peak final fantasy gaming. Watching you play through this has reignited such a fire in me again for this game. I've loved every moment of it and I can't wait to see all that's to come.
You can sort your weapons and armors! Go in the menu and items, then go back one step to swap between items/key items etc, and then you can choose sort!
58:05 Banishing Blade is an incredible move btw. They didn't detail what it does when you read it in the menu here, but there are certain enemies in the arena with really high defense that are immune to Armor Break. Banishing Blade is like a Full Break that doesn't care if they are immune to it. They still get the full break.
You should be proud, very solid strategy against Seymour by using your current knowledge to the best of your ability, and you learned a lot about the game battle mechanics fighting him.
Mt Gagazet doesn't just vanquish many a summoner on their pilgrimage, that Seymour boss has vanquished many a player. You did great, seriously give yourself a pat on the back for making it to Zanarkand.
I discovered you with your let's play on Life is strange, I'm French and I love your personality, you take time to explore and discover games, you really react, , and it helps me improve my English to listen to you ;) Thank you !
WOW this fight was absolutely difficult to beat, and I'm glad that you went through it without spamming Haste on everyone! You're definitely doing awesome! I'm so proud of you for defeating Seymour in one stream. You totally earned my respect.
In case no one explained it, the great thing about Auron's Banishing Blade is the status ailments it causes. Normally, his Power/Armor/Magic/Mental Break skills have a probability of not working on enemies who are not immune to them, but Banishing Blade applies all 4 simultaneously with 100% chance of success, provided the enemy is susceptible to those ailments. It's a great ability to open a fight with a powerful enemy.
Use Hastegs and the breaks. Also build up all your aeons so that when you get into battle you can immediately hammer the boss with aeon overdrives or have them take a big hit for you. Also you can heal prior to going into battle. Also, some of those special items can be built onto weapons when you customize one.
Congrats on beating Seymour! A few optimizations you could’ve done: he always uses dispel in a certain order, you can Hastega right after for lots of extra turns before the next dispel, and he doesn’t dispel during the annihilating section. Switch anyone with Slayer overdrive to Warrior if you want to charge during boss fights. You probably had enough turns Kimahri could’ve kept Wakka up with Curaga instead of X-potions. But overall pretty solid approach!
I was stuck on this boss for MONTH when i was 7/8 years old playing this game in 2003/2004 omg XD bring back nightmare memories of my favorite game of all time ! Remember doing like 4 try everyday since i was able to play one hour max per day, when i killed him i was SO HAPPY
The 3rd Seymour fight is a real filter for people that abused the passive ability to avoid random encounters because you will be completely screwed. I fell for that on my first playthrough
Many many moons ago I learned the trick to getting through JRPGs faster is to grind, sounds like it should make you take longer, but just spending even 10-15 mins extra in each zone, makes the combats in all subsequent zones take less time, reduces the amount of times you die, gives you money to buy everything in one stop, and drastically cuts down on boss fight times. When I first started watching people playthrough games on youtube/twitch I was shocked that almost everyone just runs through each zone asap, a lot of people even just flee from most fights, then spend hours and hours on boss fights that took me 3 minutes my first time. My first play of this game hit credits around 30 hours and I've seen many streamer push up near the 100 hour territory.
@@Branderbieto be honest I do this because I find it more exciting playing that way. The way I see it is that grinding isn’t particularly fun since you’re fighting enemies you can easily beat, and by doing so it then makes subsequent fights easier and less strategic because you’re more powerful. I don’t necessarily miss every encounter, but I never grind or over-level as I find it more fun when the fights are more difficult and you need to come up with good tactics to win.
@@RAGEAlanBun that’s fair there is no wrong way to play so long as you are having fun. That is how I like to do it in several games as well. In games where enemies and players have levels I dislike being more than a single level above the enemies in the furthest area. The challenge is fun. However, I am also a hoarder so FF8 while satisfying that urge was impossible for me to play because having all zone monsters level up with you gave them new spells for me to stock and I got stuck in the first zone 😅
Final Fantasy X being your first classic turn based JRPG is probably gonna make you have an easier time with other games in the series. It broke you in to become familar with reoccuring status effects, spells, abilites, and just the flow of combat.
The best FFX playthrough I've ever watched, you're very detailed and pay attention to the whole story which for me is the best of all the games I've ever played. Continue, please
Nice one! With all the odds stacked against you.. some of which you stacked yourself^^.. you managed to find a tactic that worked to defeat Seymour Flux. The stamina tablet was a good call, so were the cheers and you learned a lot about the mechanics in the fight, that you wouldn't have learned if you just breezed through without struggling.
Seymour Flux is in the top 10 of hardest bosses in FFX. What makes it hard is the introduction of anti-healing tactics with zombie without warning. Holy water had just been sold in the Calm Lands, but you have no natural spawning enemies to test the mechanics of zombie. So, Seymour coming in with Full-Life is understandable for casual players to freak out and panic because they have to learn by trial-and-error how zombie status works, and you're double fucked if you didn't buy 20+ holy waters.
Seymour flux is def one of the hardest fights you did good! I usually cheesed it by loading up all aeon overdrives before the fight. Couple more tough ones ahead enjoy !
God this fight was so difficult, and the fact that you went through it without spamming Haste on everyone blows my mind! 😭 I feel like Haste is necessary for every boss fight haha!
I love that they referenced Yuna with a horn on her head. Basically every other FF game that has Summoner as a class, the garb is green and brown robes with a headband with a horn on it. ☺
10:45 What is so great about nearing Zanarkand is that the player is placed in the same mind space as the party. Looking at Zanarkand with trepidation, and finality. 15:16 With Final Fantasy in general it's obvious when you're past the point of no return, including the old ones. It won't show a message like in the modern games but you can tell by the narrative that it will be the final showdown. 27:24 I never knew that the placebo effect could apply to game situations too. Narrator: it had no effect. 43:47 Haha, rewind. It was 3 turns. 51:49 They are susceptible to ice, however they have a high magic defense. Gotta lower that first if you want to do damage with ice. 53:50 The box is telling you what it's weak too. This, along with healing between battles, are the two things the comments keep reminding you, haha. 57:47 Right in the feels, as you're battling through Mt. Gagazet. 1:05:18 Wakka celebrates by laughing out loud! 1:06:19 Heal, heal, heal after battles. Especially for characters in the yellow. Never too much healing! 1:09:15 Some of your strategies make me give a heart attack! Like attacking with Wakka who has 1500 HP against an enemy who can easily hit +1k while you don't know how much HP the monster has left. You are tempting fate, ma'am. 2:05:47 Enter the toughest main story boss. 2:07:43 HAHA. I was thinking what if she let Yuna heal herself. Lo' and behold. 2:10:18 Good game. 2:33:00 I can tell you're panicked because of all the mistakes (healing Tidus who's already at full health instead of Wakka) and all the wrong assumptions you're making. 2:38:51 Auron going out the old Bushido way. 3:29:59 Daaamn. Seymour must have only had a couple of 100s of HP left. 3:52:35 Wakka received less damage because you did Super Mighty G which contains Protect. Your interpretations at times are amusing if nothing else! 3:55:55 This might have been the hardest story boss from FF for you, yeah. That or Rebirth's final battle. I recall you dying a few times there too.
You can sort the weapons in the item menu (It sorts for characters). I remember I was such a hoarder with the weapons my first time through this game, but when I play through it now, I just sell almost everything ^^ You can pretty much craft better of anything you could want later anyways :D For my first playthrough, I definitely found Seymore Flux to be the hardest boss ^^ It feels really good beating that idiot that never wants to die :D Great job on getting him!
We all suffered in that Seymour battle, don't worry! And a lot of us didn't have internet when the game came out, so we couldn't just look something up. So I think playing the way you are is getting the true experience!
2:24:23 not sure if you figure this out later but full-life actually fully revives you, it doesn’t kill you. Since Seymour inflicts zombie, which causes healing to damage you, that’s why it often kills you, but if you remove Zombie in between Lance of Atrophy and Full-Life, then Seymour essentially wastes a turn using full-life.
Maggie you gotta read the manual! It's not cheating, it's all even included in the gaaaame! Oh well, I'm enjoying this journey, and I'm loving the way you developed your characters (even if it is a little fast n loose)! Next episode is gonna be lit!
@@LinkinMark1994 yes, but the game didn't change that much. Any manual would cover what she is missing. The ability descriptions and stuff are still the same between versions. Like I said, too, it's IN THE GAME under help. The game says what every spell and status is, does, and how its countered.... version doesn't matter here. Also: translation apps are a thing if the version "does" matter. [o_o]
If a character hits the enemy ONCE in a fight, they get the same exp as everybody else. Swap everyone in for just one hit to give everyone credit and easier leveling.
Another great video Maggie and whilst I wish there was an easier way for you to defeat Seymour, but it was very entertaining nonetheless, especially with Ginger involved😂. I’ve been enjoying this series, can’t wait for the next video👍.
also in the calm lands you were trying to identify what the yellow feather on the ground is for, its a jump point for you while on chocoback. almost always leads to treasure. I mentioned that on the miihen highroads area too
Seymour Flux is one of the hardest fight. Next one will be in Zanarkand… AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOUR REACTION TO IT. And having characters all over the sphere grid on your first run is also a rite of passage.
27:00, Shell increases magic defence, casting it made no difference here at all since berserk means he will only use physical attacks. Kimahris overdrive was building up because of lancet. anytime you learn a new overdrive with it, you instantly get a full overdrive gauge. also, you were right: Seymour isn't immune to poison. you just accidentally targeted Mortiorchis instead of Seymour himself
Why did it take me all of these years to realize that the Ronso talking about a horn of Yuna's head is a reference to the old summoners in previous FF games (like 9)
32:03 In addition to being an emotional gesture by Biran and Yenke, this conversation is meant as a fun little Final Fantasy series lore allusion. In Spira, a human summoner with a horn may seem like a strange sight. But in previous installments of the series (and some later ones), the summoner class usually had a horn indeed. If it wasn't a feature of the character's biology, it was at least part of the respective costume.
Mt Gagazet is my favourite part of the game. The Ronso's, the music, the climb, and a tough boss fight. I even named my dog Kimahri because Kimahri is the best. You did great, Kasta. Your tenacity is inspiring.
I don't switch weapons all the time to match their weakness. Generally just keep it on what I find most useful. One thing I do though to get everyone experience is just defend with them. For example, want yuna to get exp, but nobody needs to heal? Just defend and it counts as participating in battle.
She said I haven't really dealt with zombie here I am thinking oh you're definitely about to deal with it a lot hope you have zombie ward and zombie proof. This is why scanning enemies and remembering status ailments is important.
Its funny the MIX you did with two high potions "Vitality" doubled Wakkas max hp, Just needed to heal him! But you ended up using a Stamina item that did double his HP in another attempt! You can mix two different items, for example, A Potion and a Lvl 1 key sphere. Doesnt have to be the same thing like two bomb cores or two potions.
Don't worry about how you did it, the important thing is that you have. This fight is a big shit test for all people that haven't grinded at some point in the game. A reminder that the game starts to become a good bit tougher. But I'm confident that you will do a good job. And if you want, the upcoming point right after the next area, will be a good spot to train near a save point. At least I did back on my first time.
You can only heal the aeons that are elemental hence Ifirit with Firaga, Ixion with Thundaga, & Shiva with Blizzaga. The other Aeons do not have an element so you need to teach them one of the Cure Spells. ALSO YOU CAN HEAL YOURSELF WITHOUT ITEMS. WHEN WALKING AROUND, GO TO ABILITIES AND GO TO CHARACTERS THAT CAN HEAL. ITS HIGHLIGHTED IN WHITE, SELECT IT AND CHOOSE ANOTHER CHARACTER! :)
You did great to come up with a plan and execute! That's the one of the hardest fights in the game. Your biggest blind spot is buffs, which are huge in this game, especially haste.. You also keep saying the right thing then not doing it. You could have dispelled that reflect and protect, for example. Also, you can definitely sort your equipment. Main menu, go in the equipment screen, hit auto instead of manual. Items , too. Your sphere grid is fine.
Sphere grid is totally not fine, but the main story game/fights all have been very forgiving so she hasn't been having that much difficulty. Only strong characters are Wakka, Lulu and Yuna (because of her aeons who are inherently strong). Rikku is pretty much a useless character, underleveled and going through one of the worst paths possible. She'll be fine anyway and what's important is that she's having fun, but let's not pretend her sphere grid choices are okay (generally speaking).
@@D3vilK1ng the sphere grid is fine. Fine does not mean perfect. it means her struggles are not because of the sphere grid. This could not possibly be clearer in my post. Consider context instead of laser focusing on a single sentence.
@@DrBretto and I replied to your "fine" statement, perfect was never in question so your remark on "clarity" and "context" are kind of ironic. If her sphere grid choices were fine she wouldn't have struggled this much against Seymour Flux, that's especially clear when you consider that without Wakka she would've had plenty more game overs in this fight.
@@DrBretto I'll give you an even better one, the MVP of that fight was the one Stamina Tablet that she was lucky to find, without it I don't think she'd be able to win that fight without going back to farm levels.

I wonder if the horn was a nod to the summoners of FF9.
@@cameronforte9861 Maybe lol
Seymour Flux is one of the hardest bosses in the game. Dying repeatedly (and having to watch that damned cutscene, over and over and over...) is a rite of passage for any new FFX player. You did great!
If only she knew the trick to kill him in one move. 😅
@@missionmetaverse5240Just need some gils 😂
@@missionmetaverse5240 ZANMATO
@@missionmetaverse5240 why? if you need a one hit ko move to beat Flux you have failed the skill check and this is probably not the game for you.

"I wish I could sort"
Me, staring into the middle distance.. 🤦🏽♂️
Stuff like that has been killing me 🥲
Poor Auron running around witg a 10%magic blade 😂
Auto Sort your inventory!! You can thank me afterwards.
Soo much nostalgia watching Seymour wreck you, must have killed me 5 times the very first time I played. Next episode is going to be fun!
also use bumpers in certain menus to go down a list of items quicker
So, the statue of Yuna with 'big horn on head' I think is a nod to the classic design for the summoner job in various Final Fantasy games. They often have some kind of headpiece with a horn (seen in Final Fantasy XIV recently but also IX and many older and off-main series entries). I thought that was a very sweet little 'easter egg'
Never forget the power of hastega and slow. They last the entire fight if not dispelled. Getting more turns in and enemy getting less is really strong. Not to mention shell and protect :)
Hastega is usually the best vs bosses because they're often immune to Slow or delay attack. And if the boss has to waste a turn just to cast dispel, that's a positive too.
Sadly when she does cast hastega, she then immediately switches characters. 😂
@@conorbishop8114 I’ve been begging for her to use haste as much as possible in bosses haha. Considering she hasn’t she’s been doing very well.
I love how every single time Kasta says she's going to do a move like scan for example, she goes into every single command menu, skill, special, item etc before finally going to white magic for scan. Every time.😂
@@kylemichel3006 No.
Lmao right? Is only her 3rd FF so she is not familiar with scan/assess and how it's almost always been a white magic.
It's a bit funny yeah. To be fair I don't like how the game did skill vs special. They're all abilities so it's confusing sometimes understanding why something is special or a skill.
Plus Scan being white magic just sounds weird. It could be an ability too, especially because it sounds and looks like machina that Chadley would use lol.
@@vulcanh254 Actually all of skills are just standard attack with added effect like applying status or being performed more quickly. Special abilities are far more diverse and usually don't do any direct damage.
Agree with you about Scan though
It's not just scan, she's a hardcore bumbler. Just kind of bumbles around on every single turn. Like the characters that have "Extract [Ability, etc]" and no other skills, she constantly pops into those menus.
For the love of God, someone tell her you can heal your party outside of battle! xD
it's been said since the 1st video. My guess is she recorded ALL videos in advance, so no tip written here will be taken into account
@@armorvil The problem is she keeps taking long breaks after each batch and forgets. For example, she learned back in Bevelle that save spheres heal aeons, but in this video, she's asking again how to heal them.
It was last video that she FINALLY for the first time went into the ability menu and saw, on screen, how "cure" magics weren't grayed out like everything else. But it did not register in her brain.
@@jada90 Saw that too. Almost pointed it out myself. #savethehighpots
Kasta: *casts Protect*
Seymour: *dispels Protect*
Also Seymour: *wrecks everyone except Wakka, because he still had Protect on.*
Kasta: “Protect is a lie.”
😂
I mean let's be honest, she's the most clueless person I've ever seen in battle. Me and my friends were better at this game when we were 10 years old. Her brain is just like, not wired for this. At all. However she's great at connecting with the characters and story emotionally, and that's what I love to see.
@jada90 true lol...she's smart in other ways
@@jada90i don't think i've ever seen any of your comments not being condescending or rude.
Kimahri's character has some great subtle story telling. Being the runt of the Ronso, he has to leave Mt. Gagazet to learn his own way of growing "strong". Ex: Lancet(learning techniques from fiends all around Spira) as well as being the one character that is encouraged to go his own way on the sphere grid(non-expert sphere grid). Unlike Biran and Yenke he doesn't inherently possess the physical prowess that all other Ronso do, therefore leaving the nest so to speak, to realize his own unique potential before returning home to prove himself worthy.
The other Ronso can use lancet too. Lulu (I think) explains copying of techniques as a Ronso ability. The two you fight use techniques that are learnable from fiends against Kinmahri except that don’t need overdrive to do so.
This game is a bit unique compared to most of the FFs I have played in that a lot of the in game character development is subtle and character backstory reveals add the most depth.
When they were children Kimahri being small had a complex and was constantly mouthing off and challenging the biggest kid to a fight. He was beaten over and over again but would never admit to having lost any of the battles. Honor is very important to Ronso. Biran, also being a kid eventually got so angry with this insult he broke Kimahri’s horn. Kimarhi goes off into the world in shame, grows stronger and wiser to the point the person always mouthing off is Biran whenever they meet.
Biran hasn’t managed to move on from the past (and also probably guilt he had for the horn breaking). In my internet he is constantly goading Kimahri to get a rise out of him and justify the horn breaking by proving Kimahri hasn’t changed. Though it could also be to get Kimahri to fight again and finally prove himself or that he actually ended up missing Kimahri and their fights after Kimahri left the village.
Kimahri beats Biran and quietly at that. He shows he has changed. So Biran does what Kimahri was supposed to do back when he was a child which is to honor and respect the strength of the victor. He also apologizes for the horn breaking showing either growth or a Ronso belief that isn’t a punishment that should be given to children.
@@LC-sc3en Yes! You're right about Lancet, my mind completely glossed over that, thanks! I was just looking at the Ronso page on the Final Fantasy Wiki and the themes on power seems to hold up as well as traveling Spira to learn their own path.. *Spoilers for FFX-2* Heres an excerpt from the wiki page.. "Confused and angry, Garik demands that Kimahri tell the Ronso the path the tribe should take, but Kimahri has no answer and Garik rejects him as their leader. Through the example of young Ronso Lian and Ayde (who had traveled Spira in a vain attempt to fix Kimahri's broken horn), Kimahri sees that the Ronso have to travel and experience Spira to discover their path. After proving to Garik violence is not always the answer, the Ronso elder decides it is for each individual Ronso to decide their path to ensure the tribe's future." On a side note, alot of people compare Kimahri to a Blue Mage which is true, but dont see alot of people make the connection to Dragoons from past entries in the series due to Lancet and the Jump Ability. Thanks for the correction! 👍
Seymor's dispel was washing off your protects (it removes your buffs), so protect was actually working (I think it cuts his damage by half, since Protect is for physical damage and Shell for magic). But he will keep on removing it with dispel
Furthermore, you took less damage from his cross slash after because you raised your defenses with "cheer", since this skill deals physical damage.
1 - If you use L2 and R2 you can skip pages rather than scrolling tediously through a large inventory and you can sort your equipment from the items menu.
2 - Rikku's Mix can be used to combine 2 different ingredients rather than using the same 1 twice. Be adventurous with your combo's.
3 - Outside of battles you can use Cura/Curaga on your team from the abilities menu.
Just a couple of things to help
See you at the next tip.
to be fair how do you want any newcomer to guess Rikku's combinations lol? You need to check the list in your web browser or in some kind of guide. I'm of the belief it should have been in-game.
@armorvil To the point of the OP, the "mix" tutorial has the player mix two of the same item. I like the experimental aspect of the overdrive, but the explanation needs a bit more detail.
@@armorvil Just experiment and have fun. Once you have created a combination it's in the overdrive menu, so try and remember your favourite ones or jot it down for ease of access in battle I guess!
AMAZING! You defeated the wall! Now nobody can stop you. This Seymour is so ridiculous, and the stopping point for so many. Well done!
I'd say there are still 2 other bosses that are "roadblocks"
@cirederfsamot2730 honestly our girl is gonna have to get good to beat the unofficial final boss. She probably will grind to beef everyone else up but you can't be underleveled heading into the final fight they have constant heals.
@@The810kidIf you’re talking about the final monster creation then I don’t know if we’ll get that far. I imagine she’ll do a bunch of side quests but probably not completing the monster arena or the other major boss post game. The amount of grinding required to 100% the game is insane unless you learn about the Don Tonberry trick or something similar.
@@RAGEAlanBun I hope she attempts to get some of the creations done. But will be harder without the Tonberry trick
Oh...this fight...
BTW, I LOVE how the game acknowledges it is a hard fight by having Tidus panting with his knee on the floor by the end of it lol
I had NO idea there was a maximum inventory for weapons/armor. Pretty amazing how 20+ years later I can still learn stuff about this game.
Your journey will be much more difficult. When you get your guide, i highly recommend reading up on status ailments. Understanding them will be critical.
There is also an entry about them in the help menu and she did see it on the terminal in Besaid, but I seem to recall she dismissed it as unnecessary. Status effects do work similarly between FF game, but the rare ones can be hard for new players.
@Blirre She clearly has picked up some things. I am simply saying that she will need to easily spot issues and know how to solve them quickly.
@@MikeyP109 She has played newer FF games, so obviously she knows the basics.
@@Blirre She really doesn't seem to know any basics even at this point. She is managing to progress as she is massively overleveled.
I remember how hard this fight was. I went back and grinded all the Aeons to have their overdrives as well as Yunas and just blew him up.. lol
Same brother. Same. By this point my hate for this man was so deep.
Right even with banish if she uses their overdrive while there are a few turns before the special she could rez Yuna or swap her out to keep her alive and summon again. That is how I did it. I avoided bio not because I didn’t know it was possible but because I had played a few other FF game where it was rather weak. In this game it is broken and I kick my child self for never noticing that. 😂
Kimahri: There is no vendors where we are going, better be prepared
Maggie 20 minutes on Mt. Gagazet: MY INVENTORY IS FULL I NEED A VENDOR!!! 😂😂😂
I died a ton on Seymour Flux. I even went back for power leveling. You figured out a strategy that worked, and you had fun. I think that's what many of us do on our first playthrough. Cheers on beating one of the toughest Final Fantasy bosses!
So the reason why Dispel didn't work on Biran is because Dispel works against buffs, and Berserk is considered a debuff since even though it raises attack by 50%, it also makes it so a character only uses physical attacks and you cannot control them anymore. So instead, you could've used either Esuna or a Remedy to cure Biran. The armor with Berserk Ward protects your characters against getting inflicted with the Berserk debuff.
the debuff=esuna vs buffs=dispel distinction isn't entirely correct as Dispel is what works to fix Slow (and Stop in other FFs), and things like Armor Break. This is one of those confusing things for anyone who didn't play older FFs to learn the mechanics progressively, from game to game. Maybe a better way to see this is that Dispel is for mental things while Esuna is for physical ailments? It's hard not to see Slow as some physical impairment though (I prefer to fix Slow with Haste anyway).
Esuna and Remedy remove status effects, and Berserk is a status effect. Dispel removes magical effects, such as protect, shell, reflect and regen.
I've loved watching you play through this game. All the old Final Fantasy's are my favourites, and I love watching people experience them, and enjoying the magical stories that they are. So I mean this with nothing but love and respect, watching that fight was so painful. Congratulations on getting through it, and congrats to all of us watching for also getting through watching it.
Hey Kasta, I know you're ahead of us so this may not be useful to you...
If you stick the Farplane Winds on a capture weapon to give it Deathstrike, the whole Monster Arena becomes waaaaaaay easier.
LOVING the playthrough - you're a joy to watch!
Rikku with deathstrike or stonestrike capture goes brrrr
I like to attach Deathstrike to Lulus weapons like a Cait Sith - watching the doll take out a big enemy like an Ochu in one hit is hilarious lol@SuperTrailerz
I have platinum this game about4 times in my life, and I still come back every few years or so and play through the story and beat the game normally! It is my favorite game of all time and literally changed my life. This is the first Final Fantasy I ever played. I only played sports games and racing games and stuff like that. This game open my eyes to a whole New World. When it comes to video games and just the way I look at the world around me.
This makes me feel old. I played this game when it came out. When this game came out, there was no such thing at "platinum"ing a game. You just played it.
@@jada90lol well yah, this game came out almost a decade before PlayStation even implemented trophys.
When you and i played it, platinum trophies werent even an idea yet lol
@@jada90 you are definitely not wrong!
I have a memory card for a PS2 somewere with a ffx save file, with over 600 hours on it. And i think i have completed the game at least 30 times over the past 20 years

YOUR HOPE ENDS HERE. AND YOUR MEANINGLESS EXISTENCE WITH IT !
Fun fact about the Yuna statue with a horn on her head: that's actually a reference to the summoner job when it first appeared in Final fantasy 3 and other titles that used summoner as a job/class (like 5 and tactics) where they would wear a headgear that had a big horn centered on their head
That's a good point. I can't believe I didn't put that together. Yeah, its been the default for several of the FF games including FF Tactics. I always interpreted that part in the game, as a respect thing from a Ronso to Yuna.
In FF14 summoners have horn headgear
Not even five minutes into the video and the waterworks are already going. God, Final Fantasy X is SUCH a special game.
Edit: And almost ending on tears after defeating that boss-though I'd kind of loved to have seen your expression when you learned you CAN poison Seymour Flux but you cast it on the Mortiorchis instead of Seymour and that's why it didn't poison him. 😂
The boss that stops the summons, it comes out of no where and it always a big learning curve for people on their first play through. really good job learning, you smoked him that last time!
Hey kasta, im not sure if anyone has given this tip but cheer stacks up to 5 times, its really useful to apply at the start with tidus plus haste to get it off more often
she has also given herself cheer 5x with Hyper Null All by mixing two musks, with all the elements nulled. The game doesn't explain it also gives you 5x cheer in one move.
The writing in this game is what makes it top for me. The whole Mt Gagazet section just shows off its strength. Seymour is really tough if you don't know he's coming, by the time I got to him I had finished monster capturing in the Calm Lands and a majority of Mt Gagazet which gave me a bit of a jump in leveling up.
That was really well done. I don't remember how many times I died to Seymour, but I remember the beating I took forced me to backtrack and grind.
Seymour Flux is arguably the most difficult fight in the game within the story. You had to learn/remember a lot on the fly, and did really well! You finding the Stamina Tablet was clutch!
Also, you read the Scan correctly, and can definitely poison Seymour Flux, but you did it to the Mortiorchis instead, which is Immune. Protect (and Shell) gets dispelled, but it's good to see that Cheer does not!
2:42:39 YESSS. Was so relived when you finally figured it out loll
2:57:21 And she learns what dispel does! Woo!
This boss battle really forces the player to learn lol
New Seymour flux strategy: a single stamina tablet, and an absolute plethora of recovery items!
I love it!!
That battle with Seymour is one of the most difficult fights of the entire game due to how overpowered he is. It's sort of like a level check to bring your party up to speed for what's to come. Even now, after all these years and so many playthroughs, I still get one or two game-over screens at that point, so no shame for you taking your time to learn the fight and finding your own unique way to beat him! Great stuff!
I remember playing this on the PS2 when it came out. I was blown away by what I saw. Graphics were amazing back then
So a note about the turn order- there are three things that determine turn order: the character or enemy’s speed stat, the “quickness” of their next action, and if the next action carries the “delay” status. Using an item or switching your weapons are quick actions and if it beats out the enemy’s speed you’ll get an extra turn. If you use a Delay Attack or Delay Buster that carries the Delay status which the enemy could be immune to.
Valefore’s Sonic Wings is both a quick attack and carries the delay status, so sometimes it’ll show up as delaying the enemy’s turn in the turn order window, however if the enemy is immune to delay, you won’t always get that second turn and the enemy will go next.
Also, your Seymour fight wasn’t too bad. You should have been a bit more persistent on putting up Protect and trying to dispel his and his reflect. At the very least it makes him waste a turn. But at the end of the day, that Stamina Tablet came in clutch and was a really smart move.
Seymour Flux is a major difficulty spike in this game that often trips up many who play (and I'm sure has caused a fair number of rage quits). I'd personally place it as the second hardest storyline boss simply because of how much of a spike it really is. Great job getting through it on only 3 attempts, especially without using either of the two mega cheese strats.
I know one of the ways is just to hit him with all the Aeon overdrives. What's the other cheese strat?
@@youkai05 You can win 30 Wings to Discovery doing the Chocobo Race at Remiem Temple in the Calm Lands. Have Rikku Mix two of those together to get Trio of 9999. Then throw fire gems stolen from Fire Flans with Kimahri and Rikku to 9999 per hit, five hits per fire gem. Seymour goes down real fast this way.
This is the fight that says "you think you're playing pretty well, huh? Well, think again."
@@jhawkkw87aren't wings to discovery really important for high end weapon mods? Like you get no spare ones when you upgrade 3 weapons
@@jhawkkw87yeah just checked been many, many years since I played this.
3XAP or break hp limit on armour.
I'm so happy for you watching you deal with Seymour. This is one of the most difficult fights in the base game even when you know what you're doing. If I remember correctly even the guidebook says it comes down to a bit of luck. It was so enthralling watching you evolve your tactics and understanding in real time. 10/10 peak final fantasy gaming. Watching you play through this has reignited such a fire in me again for this game. I've loved every moment of it and I can't wait to see all that's to come.
You can sort your weapons and armors! Go in the menu and items, then go back one step to swap between items/key items etc, and then you can choose sort!
Proud of you defeating Seymour in one stream. ive seen many streamers give up here. You earned my respect.
58:05 Banishing Blade is an incredible move btw. They didn't detail what it does when you read it in the menu here, but there are certain enemies in the arena with really high defense that are immune to Armor Break. Banishing Blade is like a Full Break that doesn't care if they are immune to it. They still get the full break.
Same with Rikku mixing two power spheres, making a frag grenade for armor-breaking enemies/bosses resistant/immune to it.
@@SuperTrailerz did not know that. Thank you.
You should be proud, very solid strategy against Seymour by using your current knowledge to the best of your ability, and you learned a lot about the game battle mechanics fighting him.
3:21 The way Kimahri runs up to confront them instead of letting them get closer to Yuna. Thats why we love him!
Mt Gagazet doesn't just vanquish many a summoner on their pilgrimage, that Seymour boss has vanquished many a player. You did great, seriously give yourself a pat on the back for making it to Zanarkand.
I discovered you with your let's play on Life is strange, I'm French and I love your personality, you take time to explore and discover games, you really react, , and it helps me improve my English to listen to you ;)
Thank you !
WOW this fight was absolutely difficult to beat, and I'm glad that you went through it without spamming Haste on everyone! You're definitely doing awesome! I'm so proud of you for defeating Seymour in one stream. You totally earned my respect.
2:13:35 silly goose you can totally sort 😅
In case no one explained it, the great thing about Auron's Banishing Blade is the status ailments it causes. Normally, his Power/Armor/Magic/Mental Break skills have a probability of not working on enemies who are not immune to them, but Banishing Blade applies all 4 simultaneously with 100% chance of success, provided the enemy is susceptible to those ailments. It's a great ability to open a fight with a powerful enemy.
When you learn a move from Lancet it gives you an Overdrive
The fight with Seymour definitely brought to light some suppressed memories I had of this game 🤣
8:28 Of course Yuna knows that Rikku is her cousin since she first saw her, that's the reason why she accepted her as a guardian immediately.
Use Hastegs and the breaks. Also build up all your aeons so that when you get into battle you can immediately hammer the boss with aeon overdrives or have them take a big hit for you. Also you can heal prior to going into battle. Also, some of those special items can be built onto weapons when you customize one.
I felt like I was watching Dora the whole time 😂 "use the poison grenade!"
Congrats on beating Seymour! A few optimizations you could’ve done: he always uses dispel in a certain order, you can Hastega right after for lots of extra turns before the next dispel, and he doesn’t dispel during the annihilating section. Switch anyone with Slayer overdrive to Warrior if you want to charge during boss fights. You probably had enough turns Kimahri could’ve kept Wakka up with Curaga instead of X-potions. But overall pretty solid approach!
3:56:18 Nonsense! This is one of the hardest fights in the game and you did great.
I was stuck on this boss for MONTH when i was 7/8 years old playing this game in 2003/2004 omg XD bring back nightmare memories of my favorite game of all time !
Remember doing like 4 try everyday since i was able to play one hour max per day, when i killed him i was SO HAPPY
The 3rd Seymour fight is a real filter for people that abused the passive ability to avoid random encounters because you will be completely screwed. I fell for that on my first playthrough
Yeah, this is where everyone got destroyed lol
Many many moons ago I learned the trick to getting through JRPGs faster is to grind, sounds like it should make you take longer, but just spending even 10-15 mins extra in each zone, makes the combats in all subsequent zones take less time, reduces the amount of times you die, gives you money to buy everything in one stop, and drastically cuts down on boss fight times.
When I first started watching people playthrough games on youtube/twitch I was shocked that almost everyone just runs through each zone asap, a lot of people even just flee from most fights, then spend hours and hours on boss fights that took me 3 minutes my first time. My first play of this game hit credits around 30 hours and I've seen many streamer push up near the 100 hour territory.
@@Branderbieto be honest I do this because I find it more exciting playing that way.
The way I see it is that grinding isn’t particularly fun since you’re fighting enemies you can easily beat, and by doing so it then makes subsequent fights easier and less strategic because you’re more powerful.
I don’t necessarily miss every encounter, but I never grind or over-level as I find it more fun when the fights are more difficult and you need to come up with good tactics to win.
@@RAGEAlanBun that’s fair there is no wrong way to play so long as you are having fun. That is how I like to do it in several games as well. In games where enemies and players have levels I dislike being more than a single level above the enemies in the furthest area. The challenge is fun. However, I am also a hoarder so FF8 while satisfying that urge was impossible for me to play because having all zone monsters level up with you gave them new spells for me to stock and I got stuck in the first zone 😅
the Biran and Yenke boss fight scales to your stats, if Kimahri hasn't touched the sphere grid it scales to that. Love that they made it this way!
Yeah, and the first place where you can get Level 3 key spheres. I steal a bunch from this fight.
@@leoda_lion4107 it hurt not seeing her steal in that fight haha its okay she will get those lvl 3s later now
"Actually I have my overdrive back?"
Yes. When Khimari learns a new enemy move from Lancet, overdrive fills instantly.
You honestly did very well against a tough Seymour fight. You caused me physical pain when you summoned Bahamut a touch too early though. 😭
Yuna, sticking to her 'guns' funny
Oh the foreshadowing
Ha ha. Yuna took that literally!
But shh. 😉👍
I saw the upload, i *ronso* fast to watch
Final Fantasy X being your first classic turn based JRPG is probably gonna make you have an easier time with other games in the series. It broke you in to become familar with reoccuring status effects, spells, abilites, and just the flow of combat.
The best FFX playthrough I've ever watched, you're very detailed and pay attention to the whole story which for me is the best of all the games I've ever played.
Continue, please
Nice one! With all the odds stacked against you.. some of which you stacked yourself^^.. you managed to find a tactic that worked to defeat Seymour Flux. The stamina tablet was a good call, so were the cheers and you learned a lot about the mechanics in the fight, that you wouldn't have learned if you just breezed through without struggling.
Seymour Flux is in the top 10 of hardest bosses in FFX. What makes it hard is the introduction of anti-healing tactics with zombie without warning. Holy water had just been sold in the Calm Lands, but you have no natural spawning enemies to test the mechanics of zombie. So, Seymour coming in with Full-Life is understandable for casual players to freak out and panic because they have to learn by trial-and-error how zombie status works, and you're double fucked if you didn't buy 20+ holy waters.
I would say hardest mainline boss in any final fantasy. Seymour flux easily wipes the floor with cross cleave and total ahnilation
Seymour flux is def one of the hardest fights you did good! I usually cheesed it by loading up all aeon overdrives before the fight. Couple more tough ones ahead enjoy !
Seymour Flux was the first real roadblock I encountered in this game. I remember spending a while grinding levels around the save sphere lol
1:28:00 You have made me so happy selling all those items. Lol
God this fight was so difficult, and the fact that you went through it without spamming Haste on everyone blows my mind! 😭 I feel like Haste is necessary for every boss fight haha!
No kidding! I had haste, and _still_ nearly cheesed it with Rikku's _spoiler_ mix
Idk why she's so hesitant on even using it lol
and if she does use it she switches everyone with it out so she never sees its full effect.
I love that they referenced Yuna with a horn on her head. Basically every other FF game that has Summoner as a class, the garb is green and brown robes with a headband with a horn on it. ☺
10:45 What is so great about nearing Zanarkand is that the player is placed in the same mind space as the party. Looking at Zanarkand with trepidation, and finality.
15:16 With Final Fantasy in general it's obvious when you're past the point of no return, including the old ones. It won't show a message like in the modern games but you can tell by the narrative that it will be the final showdown.
27:24 I never knew that the placebo effect could apply to game situations too. Narrator: it had no effect.
43:47 Haha, rewind. It was 3 turns.
51:49 They are susceptible to ice, however they have a high magic defense. Gotta lower that first if you want to do damage with ice.
53:50 The box is telling you what it's weak too. This, along with healing between battles, are the two things the comments keep reminding you, haha.
57:47 Right in the feels, as you're battling through Mt. Gagazet.
1:05:18 Wakka celebrates by laughing out loud!
1:06:19 Heal, heal, heal after battles. Especially for characters in the yellow. Never too much healing!
1:09:15 Some of your strategies make me give a heart attack! Like attacking with Wakka who has 1500 HP against an enemy who can easily hit +1k while you don't know how much HP the monster has left. You are tempting fate, ma'am.
2:05:47 Enter the toughest main story boss.
2:07:43 HAHA. I was thinking what if she let Yuna heal herself. Lo' and behold.
2:10:18 Good game.
2:33:00 I can tell you're panicked because of all the mistakes (healing Tidus who's already at full health instead of Wakka) and all the wrong assumptions you're making.
2:38:51 Auron going out the old Bushido way.
3:29:59 Daaamn. Seymour must have only had a couple of 100s of HP left.
3:52:35 Wakka received less damage because you did Super Mighty G which contains Protect. Your interpretations at times are amusing if nothing else!
3:55:55 This might have been the hardest story boss from FF for you, yeah. That or Rebirth's final battle. I recall you dying a few times there too.
Watching you struggle and figure out Seymour Flux's battle brings back so much memories of my first time trying to beat him.
You can sort the weapons in the item menu (It sorts for characters). I remember I was such a hoarder with the weapons my first time through this game, but when I play through it now, I just sell almost everything ^^ You can pretty much craft better of anything you could want later anyways :D
For my first playthrough, I definitely found Seymore Flux to be the hardest boss ^^ It feels really good beating that idiot that never wants to die :D Great job on getting him!
We all suffered in that Seymour battle, don't worry! And a lot of us didn't have internet when the game came out, so we couldn't just look something up. So I think playing the way you are is getting the true experience!
Every time kimahri learns a new overdrive, his bar is instantly filled.
That fight is brutal =P I got stuck with "Star of the Zanarkand Abes" in the head from the cutscene for so long.
Wow that Seymour Flux win was amazing. Such a famously difficult fight so great job! Was so excited when that Overkill popped up
2:24:23 not sure if you figure this out later but full-life actually fully revives you, it doesn’t kill you. Since Seymour inflicts zombie, which causes healing to damage you, that’s why it often kills you, but if you remove Zombie in between Lance of Atrophy and Full-Life, then Seymour essentially wastes a turn using full-life.
Maggie you gotta read the manual! It's not cheating, it's all even included in the gaaaame! Oh well, I'm enjoying this journey, and I'm loving the way you developed your characters (even if it is a little fast n loose)! Next episode is gonna be lit!
Tbf she’s playing the international version so the manual would be all in Japanese
@@LinkinMark1994 yes, but the game didn't change that much. Any manual would cover what she is missing. The ability descriptions and stuff are still the same between versions. Like I said, too, it's IN THE GAME under help. The game says what every spell and status is, does, and how its countered.... version doesn't matter here. Also: translation apps are a thing if the version "does" matter. [o_o]
If a character hits the enemy ONCE in a fight, they get the same exp as everybody else. Swap everyone in for just one hit to give everyone credit and easier leveling.
They don't even have to hit, just swap them in and skip their turn once its down to one enemy.
Another great video Maggie and whilst I wish there was an easier way for you to defeat Seymour, but it was very entertaining nonetheless, especially with Ginger involved😂. I’ve been enjoying this series, can’t wait for the next video👍.
also in the calm lands you were trying to identify what the yellow feather on the ground is for, its a jump point for you while on chocoback. almost always leads to treasure. I mentioned that on the miihen highroads area too
Seymour Flux is one of the hardest fight. Next one will be in Zanarkand… AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOUR REACTION TO IT.
And having characters all over the sphere grid on your first run is also a rite of passage.
27:00, Shell increases magic defence, casting it made no difference here at all since berserk means he will only use physical attacks.
Kimahris overdrive was building up because of lancet. anytime you learn a new overdrive with it, you instantly get a full overdrive gauge.
also, you were right: Seymour isn't immune to poison. you just accidentally targeted Mortiorchis instead of Seymour himself
Why did it take me all of these years to realize that the Ronso talking about a horn of Yuna's head is a reference to the old summoners in previous FF games (like 9)
It’s not though. Those horns are completely different
32:03 In addition to being an emotional gesture by Biran and Yenke, this conversation is meant as a fun little Final Fantasy series lore allusion. In Spira, a human summoner with a horn may seem like a strange sight. But in previous installments of the series (and some later ones), the summoner class usually had a horn indeed. If it wasn't a feature of the character's biology, it was at least part of the respective costume.
3:20:15 When you grand summoned an Aeon with an overdrive already charged... I cried alittle
Mt Gagazet is my favourite part of the game. The Ronso's, the music, the climb, and a tough boss fight. I even named my dog Kimahri because Kimahri is the best. You did great, Kasta. Your tenacity is inspiring.
I don't switch weapons all the time to match their weakness. Generally just keep it on what I find most useful. One thing I do though to get everyone experience is just defend with them. For example, want yuna to get exp, but nobody needs to heal? Just defend and it counts as participating in battle.
also added benefit, characters that defend take less damage
1:51:56 "you know one thing we havent seen is zombie. I havent seen anything that turns into zombies"
The foreshadowing here is crazy 🤣
She said I haven't really dealt with zombie here I am thinking oh you're definitely about to deal with it a lot hope you have zombie ward and zombie proof. This is why scanning enemies and remembering status ailments is important.
Its funny the MIX you did with two high potions "Vitality" doubled Wakkas max hp, Just needed to heal him!
But you ended up using a Stamina item that did double his HP in another attempt!
You can mix two different items, for example, A Potion and a Lvl 1 key sphere. Doesnt have to be the same thing like two bomb cores or two potions.
Tidus - Wakka - Rikku 👌
@@Marco_ym My favorite battle trio!
Don't worry about how you did it, the important thing is that you have. This fight is a big shit test for all people that haven't grinded at some point in the game. A reminder that the game starts to become a good bit tougher. But I'm confident that you will do a good job. And if you want, the upcoming point right after the next area, will be a good spot to train near a save point. At least I did back on my first time.
That well deserve victory againts seymour flux is so satisfying to watch, congratulations maggie
You can only heal the aeons that are elemental hence Ifirit with Firaga, Ixion with Thundaga, & Shiva with Blizzaga. The other Aeons do not have an element so you need to teach them one of the Cure Spells. ALSO YOU CAN HEAL YOURSELF WITHOUT ITEMS. WHEN WALKING AROUND, GO TO ABILITIES AND GO TO CHARACTERS THAT CAN HEAL. ITS HIGHLIGHTED IN WHITE, SELECT IT AND CHOOSE ANOTHER CHARACTER! :)
You did great to come up with a plan and execute! That's the one of the hardest fights in the game. Your biggest blind spot is buffs, which are huge in this game, especially haste.. You also keep saying the right thing then not doing it. You could have dispelled that reflect and protect, for example. Also, you can definitely sort your equipment. Main menu, go in the equipment screen, hit auto instead of manual. Items , too. Your sphere grid is fine.
Sphere grid is totally not fine, but the main story game/fights all have been very forgiving so she hasn't been having that much difficulty. Only strong characters are Wakka, Lulu and Yuna (because of her aeons who are inherently strong). Rikku is pretty much a useless character, underleveled and going through one of the worst paths possible.
She'll be fine anyway and what's important is that she's having fun, but let's not pretend her sphere grid choices are okay (generally speaking).
@@D3vilK1ng the sphere grid is fine. Fine does not mean perfect. it means her struggles are not because of the sphere grid. This could not possibly be clearer in my post. Consider context instead of laser focusing on a single sentence.
@@DrBretto and I replied to your "fine" statement, perfect was never in question so your remark on "clarity" and "context" are kind of ironic.
If her sphere grid choices were fine she wouldn't have struggled this much against Seymour Flux, that's especially clear when you consider that without Wakka she would've had plenty more game overs in this fight.
@@DrBretto I'll give you an even better one, the MVP of that fight was the one Stamina Tablet that she was lucky to find, without it I don't think she'd be able to win that fight without going back to farm levels.
@@D3vilK1ng that is literally the definition of laser focusing on a sentence and ignoring context FFS
lol this boss gave me hell the first time around 😮💨
