Wanna see all my other crazy challenge runs? or maybe you missed an overpowered video? heres the playlist! th-cam.com/play/PLHTKUO2aC5S7ICbBsT1P5krjAA99Er-Vn.html
Hey primal, i had a little crazy thought. How a bout a 1 Gf=1 character Run. Like, u can just use 1 GF on 1 active member the whole game along. I thought, there are 16 GFs, how to divine them in 4 quarters with 4 chooseable GF for 1 person. You can only junction one, when u fill up the quarter. So 3 of ur GF quarters are in use. Could be a funny Run. How do you think? Maybe someone add some ideas into...
Dude you look sick get help... your head is big and looks really old while your body is small like a kids body and looks weak... do some strength training ...And stop dying your hair into crazy man hating feminist colors...go eat some meat and do some work out so you start to look like a man again.
“GFs only” is basically the way 10 year old me played this game at launch before I understood the Junction system at all. I couldn’t get past Edea at the end of Disc 2. I never actually beat the game until roughly 20 years later 😅
15 year old me basically did the same. I managed to reach Lunatic Pandora thanks to Arnica. I could not beat Seifer though. I beat the game years later abusing Renzokuken 😅
Your endurance, tenacity and commitment are legendary. It’s breathtaking you are able to do some of these challenges. Simply amazing. I also love listening to your commentary. Brilliant.
Hell yeah, I remember wasting many hours just to hang out in Winhill listening to the music. Watching the intro scene still gives me good chills to this day. 😊
This may be something for a futures Challenge, Beating FF12 Zodiac ags with only 1 character used, (you can use any character you want upon unlocking all, tho I guess the most interesting to use for this would be Fran since she has the lowest overall stats)(You can also spice this up yourself if it may be to easy, anyways would love to see a ff12 challenge run :) ) Or if true madness is due, FF12 Zodiac age all characters 9999HP and 999MP upon lvl99 (which is a HEAVY grind due to how lvl up HP+MP stat gain is handled). Enjoying your videos alot!
I've never seen such determination, truly. FF8 was my first RPG with the PlayStation and made me love the final fantasy series and RPG in general. Thanks for such a fun video!!
Just wanted to say that I appreciate the effort you put into your videos. Great job for spending all that time for it. And kudos for being so patient and pulling through!
FF8 will always have a special place in my heart. My 13 year old me first played it in 2013, probably took like a week to complete, which to this day I still have no idea how I did it despite not knowing a single word of English back then. The only "walkthrough" I had at the time was from reading notebook pages that my overly enthusiastic close friend wrote down detailing where to go, what to farm, boss move set ... etc in a very comical way. I'll never forget how my younger me totally had a crush on Rinoa when I first saw her at the dance scene with Squall, how I summoned Shiva more than any other GFs because of how sexy she is, or the "emptiness" I felt as the credit draws when realizing that the journey has come to an end. Seeing you playing one of my favorite games always brings me joy and I hope you will continue to revisit ff8 from time to time.
Man, this one just sounds like pure pain. Doesn't mean it didn't make for an entertaining video, though, with how far you had to go to actually finish the game this way. Thanks again for the challenges, they're always entertaining!
When I first played it i thought: How else you you beat that game. But I am playing this once every year and it can be done with just normal attacks too ^^
Hey, I attempted a run like this on my first ever playthrough, completely by accident. I ended up having to restart at Ultimecia, and it pissed me off SOOO much 😆.
Not sure how this video came on my suggested list but it’s amazing. FF8 is my favorite game of all time and I’ve seen a ton of challenges on it, nothing quite like this. Awesome stuff, going to check out more of your videos.
Glad to see you still making FF8 content. I actually downloaded the FF8 randomizer after seeing your series on it. I got super lucky in my first seed, but I'm still waiting for the game to screw me over. 8/8 would 8 again. 👍
Lol thats the way i first played ff8 in my childhood, the animation back in the days were impressive and i didnt meet a single guy who undestood the junction system in his first gameplay
When I saw this title, I was like "That's how I did my first attempt at a playthrough!" (Because I didn't understand the junction mechanics) I got stuck at the Sorceress battle in the Pandora- Rinoa would always die. Then I played again overpowered with proper junction techniques.
Ok that run was insane and amazing to watch. Major props to clearing this. Love the Daph edits as well so goodjob to her as well for editing this video. I had no idea that Eden could even get boosted to do 60k damage, I never really use GFs when I play the game. Now the real question what was worse? Ultima Weapon Summons only, or Ozma Trance only?
@@Primalliquid92 Yeah I knew he broke the damage cap (tho I don't know the other two as you mentioned 3) but I didn't knew he caps at 60k. Can't wait for you to tackle the next super boss in a challenge run and get equally shafted, lets see if there is something worse then Ultima Weapon with GFs only then.
You mad men!! Certainly proving how well designed this game may actually be, since you can somehow complete using only the best command of your choice!
My first ever playthrough of FF8 I relied heavily on summons. They were the biggest, easiest way to do damage in most cases. And this was on release so no guides, no Eden nothing. I didn't have end game weapons. Really didn't understand the game well. But I got to Ultimecia and could not beat her no matter what I did. I ended up scrapping that whole save and started the game over and built my characters to never need to summon a GF again because of that last boss fight. Walked in with Aura and everyone's best weapons and limit breaks and just ended her. It was rather cathartic.
This is pretty much how I played through the game the first time when it came out. I didn't understand the system at the time and found GF were the only thing that did decent damage. I wasn't as strict as this but for the most part it was a GF only run due to my ignorance at the time. The hardest fight was when Rinoa was stuck in Adel. I almost rage quit the game as a kid. This run here was much smoother than my first frustrating play of the game. I still play this regular every few years or so, because it's a lot of fun. Frustrating plot holes aside, it doesn't ruin the game.
🖤 FF8 is my favorite. And damn I am so glad you finished this. It may have taken me multiple watch sessions, but I am glad I did. Thank you for making this video.
When you were fighting ultima weapon I was thinking wouldn't it help to get Phoenix to maybe give you random second chances if the party wipes, it wasn't until the Iron giant portion that I remembered that you get Phoenix via the Phoenix pinion, ie an item. Good reminder that its been too long since I played this game.
I did this challenge run on my first ever playthrough when I was 11, because I saw how cool ifrits animation was and then never used anything else ever again. Never finished it but did get to disc 4
i know the profit/hr of making these videos is very small for you mr Primal but i just want you to know i very much enjoy them. i wish you all the best in your career brother and from one 1992 UK FF geek to another i appreciate you and everything you do
My mom refused buy a memory card so I played this game over and over again from the beginning. Once in a three day weekend I made it to disk 3 before I had to get some sleep.
As other people mentioned, "GF only" is how middle school me first tried to beat the game . Except I got to Adel, and didn't know about Tonberry. Also wasn't saving additional save files. Had to restart the whole game.
Ah yes, my very first run of FFVIII. I got up to Galbadia Garden on disc 2 but then my brother deleted my file, sat me down and made me learn the Junction system and told me not to over use the GF unless I really had to.
Something that makes battles really easy, if done since the begining of the game, is trying to do the "Contrived Finish" achievement. If Squall doesn't level up, monsters won't either. Unless you're fighting non exp rewarding battles, keep Squall dead in your party. Level up the other characters and you'll cheese through the game easily.
God damn! Now that I finished the video, this was fucking impressive! Since 8 is one of the FF I know least of, I had no idea it would be this hard, heck even impossible in some parts. But I have to say, well-F-ing-DONE!!! Cant believe after all this , you are doing 2 playthroughs os 8 at same time haha. That said, you should add how many hours you spent doing the challenge at the end, just to scare us.
I think its actually possible to kill Red Giant with Odin I vaguely remember doing it by chance when I was a kid. You just need to get odin after the Seifer fight so he does not turn into gilgamesh :D.
To sum up if it's possible.... I'm pretty sure most of us did it this way if you were a kid when the game came out. Personally I remember telling my dad my GF's were all close to level 100 and I was only level 20. He was pretty confused and this was of course the time before low level play was the way to go, but ya kid me definitely set up a great endgame that was so simple because Summons gave you at least 2 hp bars and did massive damage... they are pure win 🏆
@Primalliquid92 woah awesome to hear from you 😅 I may be off on the levels but I remember training on the beach running quetzalcoatl as the only thing killing and then fighting the Trex with Shiva before ever going to Dollet and since the Xp boost on kills only went to the GF (and as a kid letting the other party member die to save time on button masshing) But your right I could totally be off. Was pretty sure maxing out a GF was about 50,000 XP and the Player was around 100,000 XP so only using GFs to get the final hit (with the Xp boost for last hit) and letting the other party member die I feel like the numbers might not have been too far off 😅 Honor to hear from you though, you've helped me complete so many games and try out my favorites in brand new ways 🙏 thank you so much
"Forgot to save"... Yup, its truly primal playing. BAHA!! < 3 Havent finished the video yet but, damn! didnt expect this to be dificult at all so I am really surprised.
Very surprised you didn't use the No-J strategy for unlocking the first ability in Ultimecia's castle - a low level Tri-Point has extremely low max HP, low enough that a high level Gilgamesh Excalibur can almost kill it in 1 hit. You have considerably better survivability options than a No-J game does, so even if you need Gilgamesh to attack 10 times it would still be super fast and easy. This would've been way easier than Return Damaging Red Giant for hours.
Thank you for wasting so much of your time for our enjoyment. I did spend a couple of minutes considering if a FF XII summon only run would be feasible, but I can't imagine it would be. The run proper couldn't even begin until after the Tomb of Raithwall. Or beating Adrammelech, the Wroth.
I could be wrong but I do actually think this could be possible. When I first played FFXII (the PS2 version), I remember stumbling into the Zertinan Caverns sooo early in the game. This is where Adrammalech is, and you can defeat him if you're strong enough. Summons only run please!!
Back in the day I used to Junction to attack / hp and spam GFS in boss fights. My party had as many GFs equipped as possible. It was a cheese strat for 5 year old me xD
I got all the way to the final boss with only using GF as a 10 year old because the whole junction thing didn't made sense to me at the time. Unfortunately I did not beat ultimecia so I gamesharked it and beat her, but then later I learned how to junction and it became one of my favorite final fantasy along with Zell's OP limit break doing 450k damage or something like that.
I'm somdissapointed that you didn't do Adel with Tonberry ... but at the same time I'm thrilled the win flag takes priority. It means a lot of challenges may pass this test.
Using Carbuncle against Cerberus isn't an auto-win. He can still use Tornado and Quake that can't be reflected and will still damage you. Unless he can't use those at some absurd low level that you happened to get him at >_>
"Can You Beat Final Fantasy VIII Using ONLY Summons? " (me age....13 playing this the first time on disc 3 with no magic junctioned) "WAIT...theres another way?"
Funny how this is actually the way I first played the game. GF put a layer of HP on your character’s HP, so you can pretty much be invincible as long as you have enough GF to go around, and so I thought it was the best way to play the game. It was, to an extend.
You can get pretty far on them, the first time I played I didn't really get the Junction system right away and I made it 3 quarters of the way through the game on summons until I figured out how their system worked.
GF only was pretty much the way I played the game till CD3. Until I got the Airship, I drew the best spells from those two high level islands. And then it was mostly Limit Break spam, lol.
For final junctions, Meteor to Health lets you put Life and Full-Life on Elem-Defense, letting you absorb all elements for 90% combined with Shell and Ultima.
For my very first playthrough of FF8, I did a summon heavy run. It ended at Adel. The game had long since stopped making sense, my party was overlevelled, and I actually hate Rinoa. Never bothered to finish the game or start over.
This was basically how i beat the game first time i ever playing it lol. It was a nightmare since back then i knew nothing about junctioning and thought leveling to 100 was a great idea, and in truth it was thanks to a phoenix pinion that i beat it too.
i know... but the timer is only 20 minutes, the fight with the final tonberry and tonberry king took 22 minutes, so the timer would have ran out without killing odin
😂To this day I remember completing the Dolet Dukedom using just my Guardian Forces and thinking that Was something!" But going through the whole game using only Summing?! Wow' that sounds almost in possible" So I'm giving it a try! Wish me luck!* Bill❤
Me at beginning: “I know exactly where you’re going to either break the rule or fail already.” Me at 18:45: “…well crap, never mind - you thought of it already.”

@@sebastien953 I got past Seifer but couldn't beat Adel+Rinoa :(
@@adventureoflinkmk2 snap I was exactly the same - Rinoa basically wrecked my whole strategy. Got a game shark almost entirely for this
@@meteotwister don't feel bad, Adel+Rinoa train wrecked most everyone's play the first or several times throughout
When the challenge requires Chocobo World you know something has gone horribly wrong
Your endurance, tenacity and commitment are legendary. It’s breathtaking you are able to do some of these challenges. Simply amazing. I also love listening to your commentary. Brilliant.
Appreciate it!!
75 hours later... And now we can start the tutorial! This was insane and I am full of admiration.
glad you enjoyed 😆
I'm so glad someone else loves ff8 as much as i do. I love watching these.
:)
My favorite Final Fantasy game too. It's the game I've played through the most. Haha
This used to be my.alltime fav next to ff6. Then I replayed it and payed attention to the story. It's now not
Hell yeah, I remember wasting many hours just to hang out in Winhill listening to the music. Watching the intro scene still gives me good chills to this day. 😊
Same, FF8 was my first FF game, and still probably my most played, with FF10 being right behind it
"I wish I could replace Squall"
That hurts me deeply.
This may be something for a futures Challenge, Beating FF12 Zodiac ags with only 1 character used, (you can use any character you want upon unlocking all, tho I guess the most interesting to use for this would be Fran since she has the lowest overall stats)(You can also spice this up yourself if it may be to easy, anyways would love to see a ff12 challenge run :) )
Or if true madness is due, FF12 Zodiac age all characters 9999HP and 999MP upon lvl99 (which is a HEAVY grind due to how lvl up HP+MP stat gain is handled).
Enjoying your videos alot!
0.1% chance for normal people that's a no, for you it's a yes. Unreal dedication on this run. Big props for completing this "fun" challenge.
You put more time and effort into a single challenge run than I put into entire games most of the time. I admire the dedication in these videos.
I felt the pain you endured during that Ultima Weapon fight! Well done on 100K by the way
You're well on your way to 100k yourselves. Great to see!
@@cavedweller2000 Thanks a lot. That 50K is creeping up on us 😅
I can only imagine what Omega Weapon will be like... Ugh
Omega Weapon? Using only Summons? It would be impossible I guess. I don't see any way to survive the merciless onslaught long enough.
@christiang1781 Yeah even if you ignore all of Omega's other attacks, the GFs would not be able to survive terra break
Dude, this is such an amazing run. Delightful to watch.
I've never seen such determination, truly. FF8 was my first RPG with the PlayStation and made me love the final fantasy series and RPG in general. Thanks for such a fun video!!
The fact you beat Ultima Weapon with only GF's is beyond impressive.
That is some really creative pronunciation of the name "Quistis", I never would have thought "Quis" could have an "R" sound hidden in there.
75h+ in: I don't want to WAIT for weak enemies to kill Squall & Zell...
dont question my madness
@@Primalliquid92 Never!
Just wanted to say that I appreciate the effort you put into your videos. Great job for spending all that time for it. And kudos for being so patient and pulling through!
FF8 will always have a special place in my heart. My 13 year old me first played it in 2013, probably took like a week to complete, which to this day I still have no idea how I did it despite not knowing a single word of English back then. The only "walkthrough" I had at the time was from reading notebook pages that my overly enthusiastic close friend wrote down detailing where to go, what to farm, boss move set ... etc in a very comical way. I'll never forget how my younger me totally had a crush on Rinoa when I first saw her at the dance scene with Squall, how I summoned Shiva more than any other GFs because of how sexy she is, or the "emptiness" I felt as the credit draws when realizing that the journey has come to an end.

More work went into this single video then the whole construction of the pyramids of Giza. Incredible!
Lol thats the way i first played ff8 in my childhood, the animation back in the days were impressive and i didnt meet a single guy who undestood the junction system in his first gameplay
"How are we going to waste our time today?" XD i like that quote
that was the way I played when I was 12 but got punished very hard in sorceress adel fight.
new outro! must've missed that. congrats on this harrowing run! Thank you for entertaining us with your pain

i know the profit/hr of making these videos is very small for you mr Primal but i just want you to know i very much enjoy them. i wish you all the best in your career brother and from one 1992 UK FF geek to another i appreciate you and everything you do
My mom refused buy a memory card so I played this game over and over again from the beginning. Once in a three day weekend I made it to disk 3 before I had to get some sleep.
Helping the mad man who answers the questions others are to afraid to.
Ah yes. I figured the adel one on a casual play too. Blasting Zone hitting both, killing both taking a win too.

During that Ultima fight on attempt #669 (Nice!), Irvine and Tonberry carried. What a grind. gg Primal
I usually don't comment on these but my man, you've earned what little algorithm crumbs my engagement provides
I don't think there is anything I look forward to more than these videos on TH-cam
You should do FFX with only summons. And when no summons just the Attack option in buttons.
Something that makes battles really easy, if done since the begining of the game, is trying to do the "Contrived Finish" achievement. If Squall doesn't level up, monsters won't either. Unless you're fighting non exp rewarding battles, keep Squall dead in your party. Level up the other characters and you'll cheese through the game easily.
Did they change it in the remake? In the og game enemies always did the calculations for their level based on the highest level in your team.
Dude you are a legend, can't believe you kept going at this!
This is just the truest example of "Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should"
that pretty much sums up most of my channel haha
God damn! Now that I finished the video, this was fucking impressive!
Since 8 is one of the FF I know least of, I had no idea it would be this hard, heck even impossible in some parts. But I have to say, well-F-ing-DONE!!! Cant believe after all this , you are doing 2 playthroughs os 8 at same time haha.
That said, you should add how many hours you spent doing the challenge at the end, just to scare us.
I think its actually possible to kill Red Giant with Odin I vaguely remember doing it by chance when I was a kid. You just need to get odin after the Seifer fight so he does not turn into gilgamesh :D.
Finished the whole vid and I am thoroughly impressed. You, sir, are a madman....
Thank you kindly
To sum up if it's possible.... I'm pretty sure most of us did it this way if you were a kid when the game came out.
Personally I remember telling my dad my GF's were all close to level 100 and I was only level 20.
He was pretty confused and this was of course the time before low level play was the way to go, but ya kid me definitely set up a great endgame that was so simple because Summons gave you at least 2 hp bars and did massive damage... they are pure win 🏆
level 100 summons and party members at level 20 is impossible because they still require normal EXP like the characters do
@Primalliquid92 woah awesome to hear from you 😅
I may be off on the levels but I remember training on the beach running quetzalcoatl as the only thing killing and then fighting the Trex with Shiva before ever going to Dollet and since the Xp boost on kills only went to the GF (and as a kid letting the other party member die to save time on button masshing)
But your right I could totally be off. Was pretty sure maxing out a GF was about 50,000 XP and the Player was around 100,000 XP so only using GFs to get the final hit (with the Xp boost for last hit) and letting the other party member die I feel like the numbers might not have been too far off 😅
Honor to hear from you though, you've helped me complete so many games and try out my favorites in brand new ways 🙏 thank you so much
this is actually how i played through the game my first time.
"Forgot to save"... Yup, its truly primal playing.
BAHA!! < 3
Havent finished the video yet but, damn! didnt expect this to be dificult at all so I am really surprised.
this is why ive been saying for ages people really think this is easy but theres alot more randomness involved
My man out here sacrificing his sanity for our entertainment
Very surprised you didn't use the No-J strategy for unlocking the first ability in Ultimecia's castle - a low level Tri-Point has extremely low max HP, low enough that a high level Gilgamesh Excalibur can almost kill it in 1 hit. You have considerably better survivability options than a No-J game does, so even if you need Gilgamesh to attack 10 times it would still be super fast and easy. This would've been way easier than Return Damaging Red Giant for hours.

Personally I'd cound Angelo as a summon. HE functions the same as Oden/Gilgamesh and you even name him like you name summons.
I got all the way to the final boss with only using GF as a 10 year old because the whole junction thing didn't made sense to me at the time. Unfortunately I did not beat ultimecia so I gamesharked it and beat her, but then later I learned how to junction and it became one of my favorite final fantasy along with Zell's OP limit break doing 450k damage or something like that.
I didn’t understand the junction system until disk 4
Babe wake up! Primalliquid uploaded another unecessarily hard FF challenge!
I'm somdissapointed that you didn't do Adel with Tonberry ... but at the same time I'm thrilled the win flag takes priority. It means a lot of challenges may pass this test.
Using Carbuncle against Cerberus isn't an auto-win. He can still use Tornado and Quake that can't be reflected and will still damage you. Unless he can't use those at some absurd low level that you happened to get him at >_>
The madlad did it, absolutely crazy
Can't wait for the Devour and other less used abilities only runs.
BRUH where is Can You Beat Final Fantasy 10 Using ONLY Summons? !!!! How dare you not do 10 with only summons hahah ! We demand justice !
"Can You Beat Final Fantasy VIII Using ONLY Summons? "
(me age....13 playing this the first time on disc 3 with no magic junctioned) "WAIT...theres another way?"
same lol
Funny how this is actually the way I first played the game. GF put a layer of HP on your character’s HP, so you can pretty much be invincible as long as you have enough GF to go around, and so I thought it was the best way to play the game. It was, to an extend.
Wait, that's how I beat the game when I was a kid. Didn't know it was a challenge hahaha.
I have seen all of your FF8 Challenge videos and I still do not understand half of this.. but I think I'm understand some of it at least.
You can get pretty far on them, the first time I played I didn't really get the Junction system right away and I made it 3 quarters of the way through the game on summons until I figured out how their system worked.
This is the thing i would do if im allowed to play one game in prison.. You deserve mad respect sir,.. i love you:-)
GF only was pretty much the way I played the game till CD3. Until I got the Airship, I drew the best spells from those two high level islands. And then it was mostly Limit Break spam, lol.
For final junctions, Meteor to Health lets you put Life and Full-Life on Elem-Defense, letting you absorb all elements for 90% combined with Shell and Ultima.
Don’t forget pain on elem-attack and esuna in elem-defence
Holy shit 100k subs??? Congratulations! Great to see the success!
thank you!
Congrats on the win! A truly astonishing amount of dedication.
For my very first playthrough of FF8, I did a summon heavy run.
It ended at Adel.
The game had long since stopped making sense, my party was overlevelled, and I actually hate Rinoa. Never bothered to finish the game or start over.
Yoooooo, that was insane, brother! I hope you don't suffer from PTSD after this ridiculous run! XD
Brother, i love your challenge videos. Ot scratches a very particular itch for me and inspires me to play these games in ridiculous ways
glad you enjoyed 😆
This was basically how i beat the game first time i ever playing it lol.
It was a nightmare since back then i knew nothing about junctioning and thought leveling to 100 was a great idea, and in truth it was thanks to a phoenix pinion that i beat it too.
I got stuck in the alien ship doing this run unintentionally
little fun fact, may u dont know: the counter for tonbery`s keeps when u leave the ruins for timer reset...
i know... but the timer is only 20 minutes, the fight with the final tonberry and tonberry king took 22 minutes, so the timer would have ran out without killing odin
😂To this day I remember completing the Dolet Dukedom using just my Guardian Forces and thinking that Was something!" But going through the whole game using only Summing?! Wow' that sounds almost in possible" So I'm giving it a try! Wish me luck!* Bill❤
Me at beginning: “I know exactly where you’re going to either break the rule or fail already.”
Me at 18:45: “…well crap, never mind - you thought of it already.”
absolute madness, this run would drive a man to drink haha
You're a madman :D. Nice vid mate!
