How did you get four turns without Iguon getting any turns?
I believe we are screenname cousins.
Whats the music on the Iguion vid is gurrrrrrrrd hehe.
He underestimated my powers heheheQuote:

The battle against BGH251F2!
Guys you should see it!
I'm still wondering how you got 4 turns. I think it questions the validity of your claimed challenge.
Do Iguions normally attack that slowly? You could use like 4 limit breaks on a row without the Iguion getting a chance to attack you.
Why?! What's wrong with it?Quote:

After Edea talks, she usually takes an action casting magic, but when she is attacked just after her talk, it kinda delays her turn and she does nothing.. that's what I think..

Pretty cool. Keep up the good work. :cool:
Also, the Iguon battle is not fake. I've had the same thing happen to Omega a few times. All of a sudden, Omega seems to "freeze" for a few turns. When this happens, it's possible to get in like 4-5 limmit breaks (with solo character) without having Omega do anything even though your character's speed is only around 110 etc. Since Omega's speed is around 60, you normaly only get around 1-2 turns for every 1 of Omega's turns, but sometimes you simply get 4-5 turns instead, for some reason. It doesn't happen very often, though. And I've personally only had it happen against Omega, as far as I remember.
Yes.. it is not fake.. ¬¬

There are a few bosses left.. I think I'm gonna make it to Ultimecia :D
holy :skull::skull::skull::skull:, that last fight was fast. i blinked and it was over
Why didn't you just use Selphies Full-Cure?
I can't select Abadon as target for Healing Magic from Selphie's Slot.. :cry:
Oh ok, thats a bummer.

You are awesome with Zell's limit. I thought I was good, but your better.
Truly awesome!!!!
I cant wait until the fight with Ultimecia!!!
Good Luck!
I loved your 11 "Sorceress" battle
i like Iguion and the end of the disc 2 part.
minor problem: If you go thorugh the game in this way, then the storyline doesnt make sense...
Thank you guys for your comments!!

I'm requesting a list over the non-FF music you've used :p.
I found the battle with Adel to be the most impressive so far, simply because it's the toughest battle where you didn't use Invincible Moon. I guess certain battles simply requires Invincible Moon to be possible, but it would still be even cooler if you could manage a few more without it. :cool:
But even so, really good job! I can't wait for the Ultima Weapon battle.:cool:
I usually use FF8 battle theme.. and also musics from DDR, Legend of Dragoon boss theme, Did My Time(Korn), Trip(Hammerbox), The Thing I Hate(Stabbing Westward), etc.. when I record the videos I get only the "images", so I have to "junction" the sound.. heheQuote:

So, Ultima Weapon next, amirite?
You'll have to forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is a no Junction game, and what are the disadvangates? I never got into FF8, I think I played a totaly of like 1 hour and lost total interest (drawing magic wasnt my thing I guess)
Junctioning magic and GFs(summoned monsters) to your stats is what makes you strong in FF8. A no junction game disallows all that, leaving you with only two options - Fight and Limit Break - and very low stats.
Also, not playing FF8 because you don't like drawing magic isn't a good reason. Hours of constant leveling up in other games isn't any better than drawing a lot of magic. Furthermore, you don't need to stock up on 100 of each new magic once it is available, and you can avoid drawing all together, by refining magic from items, using GF abilities.
Thank you, Mirage ^^
Perhaps I will give it another try. Thank you for the imput.
good luck completing the game.
im a massive rock fan but the music you've picked really goes well with the battles. awesome.
do you think this challenge is possible?

Video soon.. :D :p :love:

The fact that my precious Ultimie Weapie darling gave you the most trouble out of all the bosses you've faced so far (or atleast so it seems) makes me sooooo proud! :love:
Erm, anyways... great fight and good job, as always. :cool:
dude! too smurfing cool, man!
Thank you guys!! :D :love:
Question. Why is it that you don't have the Lionheart yet? Is it because you haven't been able to get the items, or something else?
You cannot get the items necessary for the Lionheart in a no-junction game as there is no way to get Pulse Ammo without the Ammunition Refinery.
unless you use a pocketstation

you pick the coolest music.
Micro Missile only does percent damage, it will never kill the enemy. So he switches to something that will.Quote:

You're probably thinking about Homing Laser. Homing Laser kills, but Micro Missiles don't.Quote:

Wow, dude this is amazing. I just acquired FF8 and so far from what Ive seen from your videos I suck :D Keep up the awesome work and good luck!
Just like this.. say..Quote:

And so on..
Instead..
*Enemy HP: 1000
*Quistis uses Micro-Missiles
*Micro-Missiles does 750 damage (~75%)
*Enemy HP: 250
*Quistis uses Laser-eyes
*Micro-Missiles does 300 damage
*Enemy is dead
So both Homing Laser and Micro Missiles deal damage based on current HP. Sounds redundant imo :p.
No, Homing Laser can kill. I'm pretty sure Homing Laser does damage based on max HP.
But if Homing Laser is based on max HP, I see no reason to use Laser Eye over Homing Laser.
AAARRRGH SEIZURE! This is all too confusing!
Laser Eye is just a basic attack that's stronger than her physical attack to make Limit Breaking worthwhile until more skills are learned. Nothing more.
I see your point.Quote:

Personal choice.. ahahah
No, I think.. Laser Eye was good at killing weakened enemies early in the game..

It keeps saying that it's a private video, and that i have to be a friend of yours to get it.
It's already set to PUBLIC.
I don't know why it takes so long for youtube to realize that.. ¬¬
A guess it's working now..
oh, yeah, it works now. thanks, and that was a really good fight, as always.
As if it's possible to "overlevel" without junctions in this game. You don't get a lot of strength from levels alone anyway.Quote:

Keep on truckin'!
Ultimecia-Griever and that last thing are eagerly awaited, good sir! It's amazing that you've managed to do this, but I guess it had to be possible.
Did you change the music for the Ultimecia battle? If so, was it because I mentioned it? (I'm furui on youtube :p)
HAhahah was it you?? Yeah.. I changed it!! It sounds better now eh? :DQuote:

It sure was. Now the only question I have is why you didn't use Duel.
I didn't want him for that battle.. he was usefull in the previous battle because the first form of Ultimecia is weak against his gravity moves, so I used the combo Meteor Strike->Heel Drop->Meteor Strike->Dolphin Blow. In the second form I chose to have Quistis as my damage dealer..
Also because Duel -Armageddon Fist takes too much time.. :D
Part 3- Ulti + Griever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmC4CRanZrM
Yeah, but it would still mean more damage per turn than regular attack :p

I suppose it's time for me to congratulate you on your achievement.
Congratulations.
I just have to mention that I saw The End during your slots...
Yeah, but you really think they were going to use it?
Hahah.. yeah.. I skipped it TWICE, on purpose. :DQuote:

Yeah, well done! Normally it's just speedruns that display a strangely intimate knowledge of the game but once in a while something just as cool (if not more so) comes along. Excellent work!
Great stuff. Amazing achievement. :cool:
I got to say, you are pretty good. Have you beaten Omega yet? If not, good luck, since he is always Lvl 100 with 1,100,000 HP.
HAhaha thank you guys..
But I haven't tried to tight Omega yet..
I think he is quite impossible to defeat in a No-Junction :cry:
Unless you have all your characters at level 100, I would think you can do it.
If they're on level 100 they'd die on LEVEL 5 DEATH :eep:
Not with Invincible Moon up! Also, he apparently has a very predictable attack pattern.
Uhm..
How much HP O.W. has on level 35??
He's not always on level 100 right?
I think Omega is always lv 100.
He is always level 100 and his attack pattern goes as follows.
Lv5 death
Meteor/Gravija/Ultima (one of those randomly)
Megido Flame:9998 damage to all
Meteor/Gravija/Ultima (one of those randomly)
Terra Break: multiple hits each doing alot of damage; overall your characters will get 16000+ damge each
Meteor/Gravija/Ultima (one of those randomly)
Light Pillar:9999 damage to one character
Any attack randomly
What about this found at gamefaqs? :eek:Quote:

That was taken from FFVIII's Strategy Guide, figured out by the using the LVL Down ability on Omega, or they developed some kind of formula to figure it out. Or they probably got that off of the PC version, in which Omega's lvl is based on your characters.
So if you are playing FFVIII on a PS1, then he will always be lvl 100.
Angelo saved your butt on those final battles....wow great job

How did you get the magics for Angel Wing to work if you had no junctions though?
I already asked him personally, but it's so damn ingenious that I'm gonna let him tell you instead.Quote:
