I know it's going to be many times the editing work but having your narration coincide with the events of the video would be a big improvement. Right now you're explaining events that happen in the fight and then we see it happen 20 seconds later in the footage. That said, hats off for doing these insane runs.

the reason we usually back row freya is because of her jump ability, which does some more damage than an attack but also keeps her out of danger since she’s in the air. and since jump counts as a ranged attack, it does the same amount whether she’s front or back. back row is always safer since that’s reduced damage.

First off - congrats on your Attack Only run, that was a fun watch :D (even if the narration did skip ahead a bit at times). Second: I have a challenge suggestion for you, something I did myself a few years ago in FF7. A 'One-Star Run'. Basically, you can only use Level 1 materia (and each E.Skill materia can only learn 1 ability, if it learns a second you can no longer equip/use it), can't run from battles, and can't use the Attack or Limit Break commands, or anything that replaces those commands. (Additional commands, like Deathblow, are ok. Added Cut is borderline but I allowed it.) I'm fairly certain I banned items-in-battle as well, but I can't be sure I didn't use the occasional Ether, Potion or Ghost Hand. It took a while, but I completed this challenge in the end; things really took a turn for the better when I was finally able to cast Comet :)

Back to your best here Primal. Good work bro!

My goal is trying to do all of them, and I'm pretty sure XIII will actually be the most complicated, despite the popular belief that "you only have to mash X to win"

I really enjoyed your insane grinding games as always. Kind of sad that once you had finished everything there was to be done you dident do the sidequest to be able to try ozma with only attacks. By then being no in terms of the challenge but still see your team facing him. But hey its still a great video. It makes me want to pick up my save of ff9 and finish it for once. But il wait until i am done grinding in ffx-2 and ff13 first since two at once is already a lot. Currently trying tonget the story done in ffx-2 so i can get the characters i want but i have been farming the youth league cup and have made elma almost maxed. Only missing 80 luck but everything else maxed. And ff13 i am trying to see how strong incan become before the first barthandelus fight with farming tons of incentive chips to fet 180 strength accessories and 200 strength weapons when i should only have about 350 strength total maybe 400 but i just started the grind and i am at 650

Good stuff. You could have made Hades, Lich, and Necron quite a bit easier by giving Freya the Holy Lance and a Mythril Helm though!

The amount of work you put into your challenge runs is insane. You do good work, Primal. I just want to add some productive criticism: 1) Playing FF9 on PC? Get that Moguri mod! 2) On your timing of footage and narration: sometimes quick cutting to images can spread your footage out enough that you can maintain sync easily. Stock photos of items and characters can help. If you're talking about using a particular piece of equipment for a boss, you could cut to being back at the store purchasing the item, then go back to the battle, for example. 3) The handful of jokes you've written in are quick and very well done without seeming forced. I'd love to hear more. Otherwise the narration is a bit dry.

It's cool; to see. I think you should have done a bonus feature at the end where you did the animal side quest and then went back to only attacks, to see if the build can work though.

with creature quest being done then yes ozma will 100% be possible. so while i did think about it in the end i decided to not even bother since it would basicly be no different to a normal ozma fight, what would have made it more difficult is the fact long range takes 16 stones which means less abilities.

I'm obsessive with grinding and never enter Dali until all of my characters are level 15. Early disc 2 wouldn't have been a problem for me if I was doing this challenge, but like you and so many others, I can never feel comfortable until I've stolen every item.

Just takes Robes of Lords, the support abilities HP+10 and 20%, Distract, Auto-Potion, Devil Killer, MP Attack, Antibody, and Add Status to Vivi’s Oak Staff to inflict Slow. Counter may have helped but I didn’t have it on. Just had to time Zidane to hit Tanatarian when the book opened. Did it on my second try.
