Materialess
Ok, so I'm going to try to run through FFVII without any materia. So far I've beaten Reno and had the plate fall on Sector 7, and I'm going to continue tonight. So, has anyone else done this challenge? Would ask for hints, but since I'll have no materia, attack and item is all I can do, and what's so complicated about that?

wow a run through FFVIII without Materia should be easy considering FFVIII uses GF Junctions as opposed to Materia... honestly though a run through FFVII should be fairly easy since all you have to do is grind a bit to kill almost anything with physical attacks, actualy i don't understand why ppl even rely on magic when it really seves no purpose other than cheap heals when you can't get to a town quickly...
Idk, I've never tried it before and I'm usually heavily magic reliant in FFVII. I think it'll be hard for me because of that. However, chocobos... Need a materia to catch em, so maybe I won't be able to get far unless I grind so I can kill the snake in the marshes.
Never done anything like that. I like my materia.
Good luck, though.
I cried aloud with mirth and merriment, nice edit-save... personaly i hardly ever rely on magic in any RPG, except for the occasional healing, i've always played with the attitude that if you can't beat them with regular attacks then you're not a high enough level yet...
why not get the Chocobo Lure Materia and just not level it up, only equip it for the Chocobo specific uses like breeding a Gold Chocobo, otherwise you're gonna have to be at least lvl.30 to beat the Zolom with pure physical attaks... ignoring that way though you can still get a Gold Chocobo by giving the guy in Kalm a Desert Rose, and still not need the Chocobo Lure, good luck getting the Rose without Materia as it's droped by Ruby Weapon...

Regular attacks the entire game sounds boring. Magic is fun. If you're doing it for a deliberate challenge, then that could add some interest to it. I don't understand Elly's mentality, though.
Actually there are some instances where you can run across without it catching you, I've done it a few times.Originally Posted by Elly
And don't you need magic in certain fights? I'd like to say you need it for that two headed dragon thing in the ice cave but it's been years since i've played it.
derp
ah yes but if everyone understood my mentality then the world would be boring...
yeah i've managed to get past the Zolom a few times on foot by outrunning it after watching it's pattern to find when it'll be the farthest to the sides before running... i don't really remember any enemies that completely nullify physical attacks but some of the magicaly inclined enemies do have a high defense to physicals...
From what I've seen, most players of this challenge substitute magic for items with similar effects when necessary.
Hmm, this idea might actually get me to play FF7 again even though I wasn't a huge fan of it.

I think if you get half way across the swamp and save then when you load your game again the Zolom returns to a default position which means you can keep running.
Also if you want a challenge I say you should play materia ONLY!
Thats right, not attack, no items, no limits, just pure materia magic and skills! IMO it would be alot more fun
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Just be sure not to grind to level 99 in getting through this challenge. Unless you feel like making Sephiroth needlessly harder.
does his difficulty change at 99?
also i only use magic really at my middle lvls.
To start its not much use and by the time im high leveled my weapons and attacks are strong enough that materia becomes redundant
Yeah, he gains an additional 30,000HP or something like that, and I know the party's levels effect Sephiroth's difficulty in some other way but I don't remember if it was just HP or not.
And I like blackmage_nuke's idea.]\
edit: looked up for more accurate stats
+30,000 HP, 2 Att, 20 Def, 5 MAtk, 16 MDef per character at level 99
+80,000 HP if Knights of Round is cast on Jenova
derp
Just use a Deadly Waste on it and wait for it to die of poison.
Should be easy!
