Can I Beat Final Fantasy VII Using NO MATERIA AND ITEMS - Final Fantasy Challenge Run 

All Iknow is Barret is named twitter and it made me think of black twitter and I started laughing

You dropped at carry armor

*at least. Not "atleast". But otherwise, sweet content

Of course you can. Thing is, I never use healing items in RPGs myself. Why use items that cost GP when you can simply use healing magic or a healing skill... That or simply heal at one of the free healing/save points. In games where there is free healing, why waste money on inns? Anyway, in FF7, always having played this way I didn't use materia because since I was lazy I found it to cumbersome to learn... and I didn't want to use items because their healing properties sucked and cost money. So instead I grinded in the game and used inns to heal myself. It was only when I was about to face off against the last Dungeons that became interested in the materia since it seemed interesting... but by then there was no point in learning how it worked since the game was almost over and I didn't need it in order to win. So it was only after I had beaten the game and I started playing it to find all hidden secrets I had missed that I started using materia.

It is sad how the remakes were so badly handled. Why do so many game developers think it is a good idea to remove and change so many things in classic games that people wanted remakes of? The people that wanted the remake did NOT want a new changed game! They just wanted the old game but with better graphics and maybe some extra new bonus dungeons that didn't affect the actual game story. Like Ruby Weapon but more hidden and 100x more difficult to beat. But instead they give us crap nobody asked for.

Dude spoilers!

Wait Aerith dies? WTF!!!

Lol

Man... How dare you spoil a game from decades ago a year ago... Geesh... Lol Also, if you even watch this video, primal even covers this part of the story so really there are no spoilers here. Not sure if some of these comments are a joke or not, but it is really hard to claim something from over 20 years ago as a spoiler at this point...

@@michaelhanson5773 believe me though. Even if the game is over 20 years old a spoiler is still spoiler. I just played it for the first time, and the spoilers made me feel nothing when she died. The spoiler ruined the game for me.

I found this 2nd ribbon on my own just a few years ago. I about pooped my pants. Was really cool.

Hmm... I don't remember this at all. Guess I'm gonna have to try another playthrough. 😅

Thou art correct! 1st one is in the Temple of the Ancients, where you have to go through the correct door(5, or 'V') in the "Clock Room".

There are 3!😊

@@CASPB third one from speed square prizes?

Pray for those lucky crits! lol (and without luck materia - but yes luck sources since they're out of battle items)

I like to play FF games as primarily attack only - but no buffs - ugh

@Vegesther sure. Knights of the round takes a long time.

@Vegesther Jesus you're like a broken record.

@Vegesther but he's... Speaking in reference to this no materia challenge. I'm fairly sure KotR counts as materia.

I think square was trying to be ironic with the naming of that limit (mindblowingly useless)

NGPlus just did a Limits Only run and he actually needed Mindblow to prevent Rapps from using Aero3. I was amazed, but it did in fact have a critical use.

gotta love the ol cancel culture

I appreciate that!

thank you man, glad you enjoyed

It has a save point and free inn/rest area in the gym.

Yeah I’m surprised he didn’t know that

necroing here I know, I have to assume the reason he didn't would be because it takes all the challenge out of it early game, it wouldn't be half as interesting if he grinding to 50 before leaving Midgard. @@BBee13

the suspense huh

Thank you! enjoy the video

I did this unknowingly the first time I played lol

Well said

bloody twitter man

Hope you enjoy it!

yea challenge runs are fun and people like that

@@Primalliquid92 as long as your enjoying doing them. I love the grind as much as the next man but can it burn you out. Keep doing you, man

i release videos daily :(

@@Primalliquid92 nonono ! i meant a overpowered video OR challenge run !

i had considered the total ban of items but then the overall lack of healing spots would have made it virtually impossible to get anywhere

#dicktree

@@JoshRosario310 Yeah I was thinking of the dicktree situation. But that grind is beyond even primal's insanity. And for good reason - there's primal grinds, and then there's verifiable insanity. Getting to L99 before leaving midgar requires the latter.

@@od1401 grind defeats the purpose of a challenge

gotta add in these little twists

@@Primalliquid92 Hell yeah!

LLNMIENA - low level, no materia, initial equipment, no accessories is possible

@@leeswinburn yea because of item abuse and using cait sith slots

You actually like yuffie? I've never used her ever. But then again I never could beat the very last version of sephiroth. I even had kotr on every player and maxed out gear

Glad you enjoy it!

I appreciate that!

@@Primalliquid92 Grinding God was, ironically, his nickname in school

Hope you enjoy!

I thought of this too.

:)

not quite at ultima

probably end sometime around the first battle since you cant flee

Actually even in the FIRST battle Cloud still starts the game WITH Bolt usable so a materia only run would be too easy sure you can't use items in battle but you don't NEED items in order to use Knights of the round on every boss in game starting with Carry armor itself.

@@veghesther3204 good luck breeding a gold chocobo without being able to throw a green at the 3 necessary plain chocobo

@@andrewrenshaw2741 I remember beating the game without any special Chocobos. Or am I wrong here?

watch the videos and find out!

close!

Man i dont remember watching this at all. Those meds must had me fucked up

Final Fantasy VII is the only one that's this easy. VI and VIII undeniably require a bit more strategy and planning. And even then, this no materia no items run was a severe handicap that caused a lot of game overs that wouldn't happen if you use materia or items. VII suffers from being too easy at times but it's not completely mindless.

glad to hear it :)

A option is same story and bosses bit a bit harder. Option b is a twist on story events and very hard bosses etc haha

red XIII has Fire, Cait has manip and transform, Yuffie has throw. I can't think of many you *have* to pick up after fights, the only one I can recall is the counter attack materia after materia keeper

His attack can't kill you, and Cloud auto-counters.

@@Rob_Thorsman I know👍🏻

i have a blind playthrough of it but it was a stream series

Thanks!

Yes to everything except grinding sources since that requires Morph materia, as no farmable enemies drop sources.

​@@clerpington_the_fifth then why do I remember grinding Sources from enemies in that submarine? Maybe I'm misremembering.

by winning the first 4-5 fights and then retiring to keep the points

thank you :)

Pretty sure Emerald Weapon would be impossible. Not being able to do more than 9999 dmg per turn with a 20min time limit and no access to Aerith's Limit Breaks makes it impossible. Especially with no items.

Unless your playing the PS4 version I kept the INFINITE HP/MP cheat on and made sure that Air Tam storm does NOT do 9999 damage while NOT having the timer intact.

people should know what to expect from me in these videos lol

i just didnt want to cheese with tifa so i didnt go for that route, as for missing score, yes i had it on and the reason for that is the damage calculation for AP is scuffed (or just flat out ignored) for limit breaks, and i had planned to rely on them for the damage so i decided to keep it on since the damage increase over his 2nd best was still pretty major when using limits

I didn't even after the Power Soul/Master fist + cursed ring with a LV 65 Tifa even do 3000 per hit while still having HER use Knights of the round for 5000 to 6000 x13 hits.

Without items OR materia, my lord that would be a challenge within a challenge (without hacking). He would actually try to get the "no 'x' materia" or "all materia broken" and "no items" "handicap slot" at the end of every battle arena fight since he wouldn't be allowed to use them anyways.

xD funny names make things alot more bearable

No, i've tried it, early game is impossible due to no healing

I HAD BOTH do CRAP for damage even at lv 65 I still barely had Omnislash do 2500 to 3000 per hit and I had Blood Fest/Doom of the Living barely top 500 to 1000 damage PER hit.

@@veghesther3204 You need to try harder. lmao

Except that CRAP for damage I had Yuffie do IS with the Conformer equipped I still had it barely do 500 per hit to EMERALD weapon vs KoTR STILL doing over 5000 x13 hits at lv 65.\ I still did that crap per Omnislash hits to Emerald weapon at full 9999 HP lv 65 and Cloud's Ultimate weapon equipped and still had KoTR do 5000 to 6000 x13 hits to bosses when I had Cloud summon it. So yes I HAD NOTHING outdamage KoTR at all.

Look at this guy, acting like lvl 65 is the lvl cap and that you can't possibly be any stronger than that, he probably doesn't understand that materia affects your stats too... but he for sure can't understand the words that i wrote down

It isn't but after using KoTR against Emerald/Ruby weapon I only hit lv 70 and did NOT LV all the way up to LV 99 at all. EVEN with NO materia that decreases Str besides KoTR used since HP and MP plus HP absorb and Mime don't increase/decrease Str I still only had Doom of the Living at my end of game lvs 65 to lv 70 barely top 500 damage to ANYTHING with the Conformer equipped including against Emerald/Ruby weapon. BUT NOTHING would outdamage a W summoned KoTR even if all 26 Knights via W summoning it ONLY did 5000 to 6000 per Knight. So I would NEVER NOT fight Carry armor even WITH the Infinite HP/MP/Limit cheat ON unless you KoTR it to death.

He did explicitly say "no items in battle".

no, no HP materia was used. at level 99 max HP is much higher than 3-5k
