There would be...complications with this setup, the main one being since I'm low level I couldn't go and kill enemies for money to spend on much needed items (especially large amounts of Swift Bolt items for Diamond Weapon). As I've stated before this is less challenging more nye on impossible.

Doable I would say, but only if you didn't impose other sanctions such as no materia (which you can still work around with potion drops from enemies) or heaven forbid low level (can't even farm potions!).

Right now it looks like it's heading towards Initial Equipment, No Materia and Single Character, which I can live with given I can simply cheese it by levelling up excessively during the game. It'll still be difficult for sure, but no where near the torture that a LLNMSC game would be.
