FFVIII Challenge: play the game without the 'draw' or 'magic' command. you may use 'card' and 'card mod(only from monster cards'), with the result of cards being refined into magic or items to be used under the 'item' command. Junctioning is disallowed on the left hand side of the junction screen, (str,hp,vit,mag,spr). however luck, evade, speed and hit are available. weapon refineing is allowed also.
heres the obsticales; finish game without the use of a g/f(excluding odin),
no other commands can be used other than 'item'(other than Card), such examples like (mad rush, revive, recover).
'The End' is not allowed, nor is Selphies limit break, as that deals magic from a cast and not from a stone or item.
Elemental and status junctioning is disallowed.
You cannot put abilities such as mag+20 or spr+20 into the gf ability list, however you can put in abilities such as spd+20(and all other add-ons that are only on the right side.)
last but not least, you have to run from every battle, excluding boss fights obviously, and you can donate your hard earned AP to such things as Diablos's Enc-None etc.
Keep in mind that limit breaks such as Quistis's Blue Magic can use various magic to help you out, Irvines ammo, rinoas angelo etc.
everything else is allowed.
i haven't tried another challenge so i dunno if this ranks as being hard or easy in terms of how difficult challenges go around here.
