Perfect Play-through

[Marshall Banana]

Chocobuckle:

Effect - Non-elemental damage to a single target. Damage is equal to the number of battles you have run from.
Pros - In theory you can do 9,999 damage with this skill. However, better uses are getting it to 1,111 or 2,222 damage to inflict easy Lucky 7's on yourparty.
Cons - Takes a VERY long time to power up, somewhat of a pain to learn too.
Mp Cost - 3mp
Can learn from - Chocobos [Chocobo Tracks]

I like it!

And here I thought WK's facetious suggestion of getting Chocobuckle up to 2222 in order to easily get Lucky 7777's was ridiculous. I wonder how long 9999 would take. I'd probably shoot myself first.

I may never know, I die a little on the inside every time I run from battle so I usually choose death for my party instead. True Fact.

[Karifean]

If you played an Enemy Skill Only challenge, Chocobuckle dealing 9999 would be perfect, if only you would be allowed to equip Chocobo Lure to find a chocobo...

By the way, I don't think Chocobuckle is a pain to learn, but powering it up sure is. Well, you can get a turbo controller and give your chars 8 combos of Sneak Attack + Exit (Lv. 1), but it would probably still take weeks...

[VeloZer0]

I'm guessing emulator + frame skip is frowned upon for this kind of thing as well.

That is usually how I accomplish my insane game accomplishments. Kind of cheating but, seeing as it actually makes it enjoyable enough for me to do it at all I, it is a moot point.

I concur.

So, Chocobuckle is even more tedious than Zidane's Thievery?

[VeloZer0]

Thievery:
Damage = [# of successful Steals * Zidane's Speed / 2]

Chocobuckle:
Effect - Non-elemental damage to a single target. Damage is equal too the
number of battles you have run from.

If I recall an end game speed in FFIX was arround ~40, so you only need to steal 500 times, a far cry from running from battle 9999 times.

Right now I got a semi perfect play-through. I got 1+ of every item, All the materia mastered, 255 max stats on 4 characters, All enemies defeated, So much money numbers can't describe, all players at level 99, max time (99:59), Every enemy skill, All different colored chocobos (yes I kept them), and all limit breaks.

Its a lot harder then you'd think to do most of that. I got 8 master magic and master summons, 16 master commands.

Holy crap. I don't even want to think about how much time that took. Mastering KotR seven times?

Back when I was a nieve 12 year old who thought if I saw something on the internet, it must be true, I read an elaborate "revive Aeris" rumor that said you have to master KotR eight times and equip them all to the Ultima Weapon then go back to the area where Ultima first appears over that lake and fight another weapon called the "Holy Weapon".

I actually did it.

[Raistlin]

Ok, I thought krissy's 12-year-old belief of having to level up Aerith to 99 in order to save her was amusing. But your story really takes the cake. I realize that there probably wasn't much else in your 12th year besides FF7 random battles (did you at least use the W-Item trick and Magic Pots?), but that is hilarious.

That is incredible! You, sir, deserve an award for this!

[Saber]

I mastered KOTR like 4 times before I even knew of the W-item glitch. Stealing from Tonberry and those horse and rabbit ear creatures were the only source of elixers I had. Time went by a lot faster once I knew the glitch. Magic pots rule. I always set my Save point in that area cause I spend days there.

[BG-57]

I tried for 99 of every item playthrough, but got bored having to fight the Ultima Weapon over and over again for the drops. Also even with a turbo controller I'm so bad at Speed Square I never got the Parasol, let alone the Flayer.

During my last play-through, it took me, like, twelve hours of attempts to score over 5000 points, but I did it - and without cheating!
