The thing I love about Vaan over all the FF MCs is literally how painfully stupidly normal he is. He accidentally fell into a plot to take down an evil empire. He was just living his life.

Vaan's weird position in 12's plot is because he was only created because of Corporate interference. They originally wanted Basch to be the MC but Square's higher ups were afraid that teens wouldn't be able to relate to him so they shifted the PoV to Balthier but were again told he was too old. So they created Vaan as a kid who gets swept up into the conflict.

Finally, someone else as crazy as me to be doing silly challenge runs in jrpgs XD Love it. Great job! If you like recommendations, how about trying to do a FF8 Junctionless run? >XD That means no magic, no GFs (summons), no items, nothing except just "Attack" XD You could technically still junction GFs to characters while keeping their battle options empty, allowing you to junction stored magic to element attack/defense and/or stats, but for extra challenge you could just not do that either, though I'm not sure how possible it is to avoid doing since the enemies scale to your level in that game, and some monsters can't be killed with physical attacks alone. You could get around this with limit break chaining though. By forging new weapons you unlock better limit breaks, and even with no Junctions, Squall's Leonheart limit break can do lots of damage and Selphie's limit break is straight up the ability to cast any spell in the game, including spells you can't normally collect like "Full Cure". Quistis's limit break is straight up blue magic as well, allowing for some shenanigans using that if you're able to find the items that teach her abilities. I haven't fully completed a run with this challenge myself, but it *should* be possible if you want to give it a shot. Either way, keep the awesome videos coming!

@ThundagaT2

I've done a no magic junction challenge run in FF8 before, as in no junctioning of any magic to stats, or elemental/status stuff. Its actually very easy to do. If command abilities and auto abilities from GFs are still allowed, then the game is still a cakewalk, even Omega Weapon can be beaten this way quite easily. I might try a run with no command abilities at some point, but not sure how im gonna get through Omega like that lol. I did add a "no magic command" and "no draw command" to the no magic junction run before as well. A bit harder, but still very doable.

Thank you for the correction! :)

Another great video! Would it be to impossible to have tried to take out the other optional bosses like omega and yaz?

I think Omega might be do-able, but Yiaz would probably take WAY too long solo. Would love to see someone pull it off though!!

Those save traps are hilarious.

I feel your pain in regards to the struggles of Quickening chains, I've always exploited them to kill Cuculain before reaching Jahara and the amount of time they just refuse to work with you is infuriating :P the Ps4 trophy for performing every elemental finishing move was a huge ballache too.

Wow, don't remind me about that trophy! What were they even THINKING?! 😂

@@RPGchallengeruns Yeah it's horrid :p to be fair I think a lot of the Ps4 trophies were based off the Ps2 'Pirate's Den' achievements but some of them are evil.

It'd probably take a LONG time, but I'd love to see a No Sphere Grid run of FFX in this style. I've heard from a friend that Rikku is the key due to her Steal/Use skills, but I doubt she completely trivialises encounters - she can do like 10 hits of 9999 damage if you use the right items, but you've got to figure out the items you want to use and the items you need to combine to make them for each encounter, so I presume there's some good tactical forethought needed which should make it not trivial even by that point. And until you get Rikku... Good luck!

FFX NSG runs seem super fun, but I want these runs to be unique ideas that haven't already been done, if possible, just to keep things fresh. :) One possibility could be NSG + one other restriction.

@@RPGchallengeruns A very respectable idea, I thought adding more to it might make things too imposing so didn't go any further. Perhaps, given the difficulty in a NSG run is likely to be in the early stages (before Rikku/powerful item combinations) and in your characters surviving attacks, you could add a restriction on Aeons in some way; apparently they get stronger as you progress the game regardless of your Sphere Grid status - every 30 battles (even running away) they gain 1 level, apparently, and they gain stats whenever you visit a temple for the first time, meaning that Aeons effectively have a 'hidden sphere grid' they automatically progress through, making them the prime candidate for further restrictions.

I beat it without magic or summons, but none of the other restrictions. It's a limitation I put on myself in all games where it's an option. (Like Vagrant Story).

Ah so very similar to what we did here! Nice! 🙂

The 122333 run is crazy enough, solo vaan would just be insane.

Hey , this is my favorite Final Fantasy in the series . I'm also a Vaan ( and Penelo ) apologist , so seeing that you like Van's character made me happy . By the way , I'm thinking about doing a Final Fantasy XII Automaton run ( you can only command your party with the Gambit system and you can only edit your gambit near a save crystal so no changing the Gambit midboss ) , but first I want to finish the zodiac remaster the regular way first . Do you think it's possible to finish Final Fantasy XII with only the Gambit system ? I would love to see a run by that rule

That actually sounds really interesting! A really unique and original challenge.

Funny you mentioned "Lead Balloon" cause there's a game series called "bloons tower defense" where you use monkey based towers (and some that aren't) to pop bloons (their version of balloons and blimps). A lead "bloon" actually exists there. Also a few blimp based ones that have lead property.

Ah I never knew that! Sounds like a fun spin on the popular phrase.

33:14 That's some dedication!!! I would have used the software to calculate the chance and reference finder to getting the item if I were you.

Why does this dude's channel only have 3k subs???? I was just watching, not thinking anything of it, like sure. cool. well established channel that does cool stuff. and then saw the sub count. This channel should be way bigger. I mean, niche audience, sure, but still hundreds of thousands or something. This is great content
