The blindfold challenge!

[demondude]

Do you all think it's possible to beat the game with a blindfold?

If not, how far do you think I can get?

[scrumpleberry]

It doesn't seem particularly satisfying.

[the AJman]

Is it just me or does this somehow feel like a jab at the gambit system. I could be making a false assumption

[Wolf Kanno]

As far as you would in any "blindfold challenge" for any game.

[demondude]

No. Enjoy failing at breaking into the castle. Also, ty troll thread.

Fail.

I gave it half a go, gave up when I couldn't find a door with Reks. xD

Thus proving that doing something that requires sight is impossible without sight.

[demondude]

I am happy with this deduction.

I bet Helen Keller could do it.

I've read about a blind man beating FFX using purely sound. You just need to focus your senses as needed.

There goes my Helen Keller Theory.

To be honest, X is a plausible game to get somewhere with blindfolded, if only cause its world design is a straight path...

When I was younger I could beat the first few levels of Super Mario World blind folded.

It'd be too easy to get stuck on a wall or a character though if you ask me. I suppose if you spent long enough stumbling around aimlessly trying to find your way you'd be able to get somewhere, but I don't think you could do it without help. Once you need to start developing your characters on the sphere grid you'd be screwed. I don't care how awesome this blind man is, they're not going to be able to effectively navigate that many menu screens without help.

That's true, they would most likely get stuck either at the Blitzball stadium in the opening, or at least the Al-Bhed ship.

Sure it's possible, it would just take a really REALLY long time.

And I've heard about blind gamers...I've always wondered what a blind someone would get from an FF game. I've also wondered why they'd want to play at all...it just doesn't seem like something would appeal to someone who can't see.
