I've played FF9 once, maybe twice, through completely when I was younger and even used the official BradyGames strategy guide to get the Excalibur 2 back then and this video is the first time I have ever seen official art that shows Freya's eyes.
I grew up with these games and your videos are always so cozy and comforting. Definitely my favorite thing to watch when I'm feeling down. Makes me want to replay all these games from my childhood.
Hey great job on this video! I haven’t really watched one of your videos in almost a year and the quality has definitely improved. Your editing, lighting, joke and even your over performing energy is a lot more confidant and authentic. Well done sir!
I LOVE that you took this challenge!! Im so excited to watch!! 😊 Love Freya. Some of her dragoon abilities are so OP, and Reis' Wind is SO SO great to have in Gizamalukes grotto, and in alexandria when you go there a second time. 💕🤝✨️
But… There are nooo cats in Burmecia The streets are paved with cheeeese There are nooo cats in Burmecia So set your mind at eeease With that, I'm off to another Engagement.
Just discovered your channel and being a big FF fan myself and having played multiple challenge across them you earned yourself a sub from me, I love ff9 challenges especially because i do alot of randomizers challenge with limits as well making even harder
First time I beat this game I rocked Zidane, Steiner, Garnett and Freya. Her Reis Wind sold me early and I’ve always been sucker for dragoons(your my boys dart and kain)
I know this is not inkeeping with your joke, but PETA is evil, and kills dogs. This is not hyperbole and I will always let people know what they do if they mention them.
Freya such an amazing character. Her trance staying up in the air and throwing down spears always been incredible to me. Loved seeing that one solo Freya Ozma video, with what must've been 50 Spirit Trance Freya--I wonder if that technically counts as her multi-attack damage-cap breaking attack--though Vivi Dbl Blk and Eiko Dbl Wht and Dagger passive intermittent summons when tranced also can be argued to break damage cap... Always loved the Dragoons and the rat people culture of Burmecia and all the architecture and sculpture they got there and all, and the whole environment. Love Freya's costume (though red and having similar personality to Quistis, but loved Quistis). (I'm sorry, but when Zidane and Freya meet in the bar, did they imply that they--er?-spent the night?) 8:14 Flintstones sound effect got me. I love Freya Holy Lance and Holy atk boosting item (like mythril helm). But Kain's lance, gotta go with the ff4 reference! Necron, I love making him skip Grand Cross by jumping and he has no one to Blue Shockwave.
I've pretty much watched all of your challenge videos and I think they're great and each one only gets better. You are funny for sure, and I let everyone know that they shouldn't get a boat lol.
omg. ive been playing this game for like 24 years and i never knew about auto potion eventually using hi-potions! This is what happens when you're insane and like having 99 medical supplies.
I was kind of expecting you to mention Freya's potentially strongest attack, Dragon's Crest. It gets stronger based on how many dragons you've killed in the playthrough, so I remember getting it to the point of always hitting the damage cap. I do understand your choice not to use it though, since it takes a while to farm dragons.
I try not to use the really overpowered stuff excessively because as you mentioned: 1. It takes a long time to farm and 2. It's a lot more interesting if they don't even need those overpowered abilities in the first place.
Yo, this was a sick run! Congrats! Just a heads up for Trance Kuja in future runs, Flare Star's damage is FIXED and ignores Magic Def, and is equal to the character's level x 35 (I think?) in Memoria, so getting more HP was definitely the right move there!
Loved this video! However, am I crazy or is there not a (somewhat) simple manip you can do with Necron using Freya's Jump to avoid the Grand Cross turns, meaning you should only get Blue Shockwave, which can't kill you? Might have made that last fight a bit easier but seems like you got through easily enough without. Great stuff :)
I've played ff9 like 10 times in my life and I never knew or experienced the Phoenix pinion effect! I always wondered why they were in the game besides as another version of a Phoenix down! Probably never got the Phoenix revive from always using them when I had them in my inventory 😂
I was gping to comment and blast you for saying stuff wrong and then I realized no one calls a pheonix pinion a phoenix pinuyay... So I realized u were doing it on purpose. And im not mad now. Good day and great video. Lol
Aww. I was hoping you'd do the speedrun strat on Necron. If you kill other party members, it goes into a loop of blue shockwaves and grand cross, but if you time the jump right, it skips grand cross, at least once. Speedrun the uses her and Steiner to finish it off so i don't know if you can skip it again
Wow that's a sweet boat at 11:25. I should buy one! And since nobody is telling me not to I think I will! Also, with killing those grand dragons did you think about using Dragon Crest? Or would that just be no fun?
I haven't played ff9 since I was like 10 yrs old and I'm pretty convinced one of my OCs I made were based around this character just give her a twinblade Actually I'm convinced 5 of my OCs were some how inspired by them even tho I only created my OCs like 4-6 yrs ago and had next to zero recollection of this game
Who is your favorite cartoon rat or mouse?
Freya of course 🟡 🐁
DeRoach
Seeing as I'm a speedrunnner...Speedy Gonzales.
Freya of course then I guess Master Splinter even though I don’t like TMNT lol
Mrs. Brisby
I am so glad you specifically chose your Oeilvert/Desert Palace teams so that Freya could be the overworld leader in the latter place.
I bet Brahne's favorite DJ is deadmau5
I spit out my drink.
"do a little dance, brake a little harp" killed me

Freya's legs go all the way up.
Angel earrings + Holy lance does some really crazy damage with regular attacks. But seeing Freya jump for joy was a nice treat!
Freya is in my opinion; The best girl of FF9! Her love story with Fratley was more moving than even what I saw Garnet and Zidane go through.
Now if only We had More of THAT!!
Hey great job on this video! I haven’t really watched one of your videos in almost a year and the quality has definitely improved. Your editing, lighting, joke and even your over performing energy is a lot more confidant and authentic. Well done sir!
Thank you!
I like all the
"and this will be important later"
Later: "I forgot to use the thing I said would be important"
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

Another Tantacles banger. Great work as always man.

Love the Chrono Trigger Battle music here and also the Illusion of Gaia/Legend of the mystical ninja music
Always happy when another Tantacles vid releases!
❤ For simply doing this challenge. My favourite female Character from the series. Commenting intantly before watching so I really hope she made it 👀👏
Quickly becoming one of my favourite challange run channels. Good shit bro 👌
I'm honestly surprised there isn't more Dragon Crest in this playthrough.
Honestly, he made it so much harder on himself with no dragon crest cheesing🤣
@@ClexYoshi same with cherry blossom, that spell does crazy damage before you grind dragon crest.
First time I beat this game I rocked Zidane, Steiner, Garnett and Freya.
Her Reis Wind sold me early and I’ve always been sucker for dragoons(your my boys dart and kain)
"After she kills Stuart Little" is not a line I ever expected to hear.
"They're dirty, vile, disease ridden, invasive creatures."
Oh, we're talking about rats. Rats are okay.
Didn't see the entire set of streams but always enjoy seeing you upload Tanta. ❤
I misread Freya as Frieza and was very confused for second lol
The "utterly macabre" reference, giving Steve Rambo vibes. Love it
Uhh…while watching this I got a PETA ad about safely removing rats from your house! Coincidence???
Great video as always!
I know this is not inkeeping with your joke, but PETA is evil, and kills dogs. This is not hyperbole and I will always let people know what they do if they mention them.
Awesome video! No rush on making binge-worthy content ❤

9:22 Ra-MAH not this again.
I said this on the Discord but it'll be funny here too: Missed opportunity for a House of Mouse joke at 13:05 ;)
Me: oh hey its the dragon!
Tantacles: 0:10
Me: Wait its a rat!?
I am now watching because Im suddenly learning everything.
I've pretty much watched all of your challenge videos and I think they're great and each one only gets better. You are funny for sure, and I let everyone know that they shouldn't get a boat lol.
Speedrunners have a trick with Necron where they time Freya's jumps to skip neutron ring and grand cross.
How do you have less than 20k subs? Your challenge runs and commentary are amazing, and you're consistent. Keep up the incredible work!
I lost 3 trillion subs when my cat sat on my computer
But also thank you!
High jumping the way to victory~
omg. ive been playing this game for like 24 years and i never knew about auto potion eventually using hi-potions! This is what happens when you're insane and like having 99 medical supplies.
It does that in Final Fantasy Tactics as well.
Girl, you're so awesome! Keep it up! Thank you for the amazing content and remember, DON'T BUY A BOAT!
Gigachad right here.
Not using Chemist with Auto-Potion genuinely hurts
She doesn’t get it. 😭😭😭
@@tantacles she does from the Maiden Ring, for like 35 AP, I swear 😂 Freya, Dagger and Steiner all get it
Oh. You’re right. I WAS WRONGP
Love the content, ty so much!
This series is going to be interesting once we get to quina. Solo blue mage runs are always fascinating to see
The run is done and the script written! Glad you’re on board for that run.
let's go Dragoon class!! one of my favorite ff classes

I did not know about the tent snake and ive had the game since early 2000's
Given your username, I would imagine you had more pressing issues to worry about. 💩🚽
Yo, this was a sick run! Congrats!
Just a heads up for Trance Kuja in future runs, Flare Star's damage is FIXED and ignores Magic Def, and is equal to the character's level x 35 (I think?) in Memoria, so getting more HP was definitely the right move there!
Love you bro! My next donation will be rather nice. These videos make my life so much easier!
Legend!
@@tantacles be humble, we know you are.
I was super triggered by your pronunciation of 'Lich' but then I realized it was on purpose. 10/10.
Freya: Stando power, Deadmau5.
Loved this video!

I'm surprised you didn't get the coral ring and just go to town on those dragons. Super early leveling.
Lmao great job I can’t believe phoenix kept popping
6:40 Brahne equipped Odins Sword
15:47 congrats. You played yourself.
I was expecting one of the girls to be named Mrs. Brisby from The Secret of NIMH.
Speaking of Rats/Mouse...
Wild Arms has one of the most useful in gaming history.
Omg that rose shirt and a black blazer. Sir!
I've played ff9 like 10 times in my life and I never knew or experienced the Phoenix pinion effect! I always wondered why they were in the game besides as another version of a Phoenix down! Probably never got the Phoenix revive from always using them when I had them in my inventory 😂
Do you ever do the chocobo grind of these runs?
No BUT… I’m starting a new run Monday and we will DEFINITELY have to do chocobo grinding for that one.
I'm legitimately surprised you didn't name Quina Templeton
I'm just gonna take a guess and say you willingly chose not to use the very powerful dragon attack because it would trivialize the challenge...right?
Correct
@@tantacles I was wondering why you werent farming dragons...guess that explains it.
love these videos
12:54 FLOATING DEAD ZIDANE!
Those plushie eeveelutions behind you….need them…. Lol
I love these runs😁
It really is Freya Friday let's go!
16:07 they hate you too
You are fucking lucky that beatrix never used shock on the first encounter
ever thought about trying the trails games?
Fun rat fact, rats can be and enjoy being tickled. *Please get rat consent before tickling any rats*
You look like Adam Sandler and Nicholas Cage had a very fierce lovechild
am i old if my knee jerk mario/mouse association is mouser(esp with ttyd)? hahaha
oh, also, mrs. frisby
Its Freya Friday!!
Huh, that was a nice boat. Wonder how much it costs
Tree fiddy
16:30 jumpscare!
Now that's some rat supremacy right there! And another amazing content! It's always a pleasure to watch 😁
Sweet vid bro
I want to see you do these runs using a hack that replaces Zidane with your run's main character, if such exists.
I was gping to comment and blast you for saying stuff wrong and then I realized no one calls a pheonix pinion a phoenix pinuyay... So I realized u were doing it on purpose. And im not mad now. Good day and great video. Lol

I’m sorry but I can not respond to the second part of your comment because the first part made me fearful for your life
happy freya friday everyone
Hey, finally using Tents!
Someone tell Clemps theyre speading the Rat Gospel. ❤ Jumpy gang rise up (literally)
*read rules out of curiosity*
I know what I must do.
Freyja isn't always in the party.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Who's the better Freya: FF9's or Valkyrie Profile's? (Secret option: Freyadour from Suikoden 5)
Justice for Punio!
I thought you were talking about gamers at the start
I haven't played ff9 since I was like 10 yrs old and I'm pretty convinced one of my OCs I made were based around this character just give her a twinblade
Actually I'm convinced 5 of my OCs were some how inspired by them even tho I only created my OCs like 4-6 yrs ago and had next to zero recollection of this game
I like your videos but man is it hard to know whos who with the different names
My girl Freya is awesome, hands down.
nice edited bro
Freya always was a fun character, shame they dropped her story so completely so early in the game.
I'm sad that Freya wasn't named Ms. Bianca
Not Death-Guee-ze
When the time comes for FF9's remake, I will voice this rat waifu in English. 🐀🌙
Meh... killing the small dragons right after linblum and getting the Holly Lance for dragon crest would trivialized this run.
Which would have made it boring
Freya isn't in the party for a lot of the game
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Would Freya be more likely to listen to House of Pain or Kris Kross?
26:15 is the real Final Fantasy :))
Wait, Freya isn't in the party for most of the game?
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
@@tantacles Jokes aside, rats really are underrated animals. Super cute, intelligent, and friendly!
