Can You Beat Final Fantasy 10 With ONLY TIDUS?
Ойындар
This challenge destroyed me.
Business inquiries: drjakemedia@gmail.com
Challenge rules:
1. Only Tidus can heal, attack, buff, use special commands, or use any other kind of action that has impact on the battle.
2. All other characters must escape in normal battles OR defend/attack self/switch weapons during inescapable battles.
3. Tidus must only stay on his own sphere grid. He may not learn skills meant for any other characters. He also may not gain stats from other characters' sphere grids.
4. No Blitzball (except the initial blitzball game)
5. No customization - this counts as using Rikku.
6. Other characters in this run may not move or use spheres on the sphere grid.

I still love the complete 180 change in character Tidus has after learning the truth about the pilgrimage. Full Jecht mode.
FFX is one of my top 5 games ever! I also love 7, mostly for the nostalgia, also 8 to a lesser extent, but X had the best gameplay and story IMO. Yuna's sending at Kilika and her kiss with Tidus in the forest are my two favourite and most emotional scenes in the franchise. Edit: my eldest daughter's name is Yuna Margaret Meadows.

I agree. FFX is amazing. Don't read the 2.5 novella though. Ruins everything.
I don't know if you know this but with the Sin Scales battle at the beginning of the game, you can farm them infinitely to get a head start on Tidus's grid. He should be able to get TWO overdrive modes from that battle alone. Also when you're on the boat with the larger Sin Fin, you can farm THOSE scales for even more AP. I did both of these farms for around 12 hours each and I was able to get my characters' main grid area maxed out pretty quickly.

Actually, there are 4 Overdrive modes you can get for Tidus in the very beginning area of the game, including Loner, which was mentioned in this video, there’s also Slayer, Warrior, and Ally, as slayer requires Tidus to kill a certain number of enemies (of which there’s an infinite amount) warrior requires doing a certain total number of damage (again can be infinite here) and ally just requires Tidus to have a certain number of turns (again, infinite)
As a person who did a Tidus only run once, I DID use customization and... it went from a challenge run to a casual stroll for the most part. Granted it wasn't very hard for me in the first place anyways because I also didn't restrict Tidus on the sphere grid so man had free reign to be anything I needed him to be... so I should probably do a run with these restrictions at some point for a little masochism in my life.
You are a joy to listen to - my favorite part was your Blitzball match and your knowledge about its rules. I never thought about any of that before

Awesome stuff! So glad I found your channel!!!
i saw the title of the vid and gave an enthusiastic "YES!" because i've done a similar run before with only using multiple party members seriously in gagazet onwards..... and then i heard the rule where you could only use his intended sphere grid path and gave an "oooohhhhh nooooo"
I love this is a challenge run AND a story video at the same time! I'm glad I found your channel! I'm a fan!
I would say using the weapon customization is fine since it's something open to the entire party. Awesome playthrough and some creative ways to deal with enemies. Good stuff as always
Woot!! I've been waiting for a new challenge video the last couple days! Great way to unwind after a long night bartending.
God damn it THANK YOU! So many people just blatantly miss the point of the laugh scene and just think it's bad voice acting. No, it's exactly what it is: silly play between the two leading to them actually laughing at themselves for their childish ridiculousness. I'm always amazed at how people just don't see things below skin-deep.
This actually looks like a massive ball ache of a challenge. I've done Breath of Fire 3 solo runs, but with the amount of cutscenes in this you've seen on repeat: I'd say this is more tedious and stressful. Well done for sticking at it and getting a cool video about it!

I remember getting Slayer Overdrive mode with Tee-dus and overkilling Sin scales for a couple of hours during that Sin fin's fight. I got Blitz Ace and most of skills as I grinded some Ability Spheres from Piranha during Sunken ship part. That part where Seymour helps you didn't look as impressive as the first time, since Lu, and I think Yunie, already knew how to Thundaga, Firaga, Blizzaga and Waterga those Sin spawns. I remember grinding there for a while as well, overkilling its arms over and over. Youth and free time used to accompany me back then. Anyways, nice video!

For whom it may concern: You can grind out Tidus a bit more in the intro tutorial, after you get overdrive mode loner, you get slayer. Then b4 you get on the boat leaving Besaid, you grind until you get cheer & haste. Then at the fight versus Sin's Fin, you can grind the enemies until Tidus gets Blitz Ace overdrive.
I actually love your commentary on the laughing scene. Yuna's character was really well written - and that's despite the fact that I typicall don't like the "I'm simply a good person" trope very much.
Let's take a moment to appreciate tidus's effort for letting his crew get some well needed rest

I did some casual play few years ago. Grind the game a bit and got a bit drained and come up with a cheesy idea after I got yojimbo for yuna. The rest of the game become her solo run simply because of yojimbo skill: zanmato. There was some breakdown I found over the internet how much gil needed to almost guarantee zanmato. On top of that, in PC remastered version, there's a built in cheats to add gil. Adding those 2 together, I simply just beat the boss with my in game wallet. Just reset the battle if I don't get Zanmato for each boss fight for guaranteed kill. No need to farm too much sphere for late game boss fight.
*I always thought of his name as "Tide-us", you know, like a tide 🌊 because of all of his early involvement with being around water up until you finally get away from the early islands (Baaj, Besaid, & Kilika) and away from the water (the water that's around Dream Zanarkand, the Al Bhed ship, the water you have to go through as Tidus and Rikku scope out the underwater airship, the ship that Yuna and the companions rode twice, and Luca port) by starting the Mi'ihen Highroad. Heck, even Tidus is gifted Chappu's "water sword" from Wakka which is called The Brotherhood*

Well - Yes - But no! Tida (Tidus's Okinawan name) ACTUALLY means "Sun" and he is the counter part to Yuuna (name means "Sea Hibiscus" which is seen on her traditional dressing - Representative of the "Moon"). This is why he uses the Sun Crest and Sigil in game for his Celestial Weapon! Its also reflected in his yellow hair and clothing! She also uses the Moon Crest and Sigil for her Celestial Weapon. If you look at the Chinese promotional images - Tidus and Yuna are shown as "Yin" and "Yang" made by Tetsuya Nomura. Yin is the female and negative aspects which are taken from the Moon - While Yang is the male and positive aspects taken from the sun. Chappu's sword actually has nothing to do with Tidus at all - And is represtitive of Wakka - Which is Ainu for "Water". All FFX character names are Okinawan or Ainu (spoken on Hokkaido) that have a meaning! But it IS said "Tide-Us". The reason "Tee-dus" took off is actually a funny story! The person hired to do the English narration for the game's promotions in Japan said it in a trailer - And it stuck. This was covered by James Arnold Taylor (the American voice actor who did Tidus's voice in English) - Confirming its SUPPOSE to be "Tide-Us" - But that he personally likes "Tee-dus" himself.
This was supposed to be a challenge run video not you making me feel the feels with your commentary on the plot. Good job 😢
