Final Fantasy Top 10 Hardest to obtain Summons(Re-upload) 

Darkkefka Thanks for being proactive on this and eager to watch more lists from you.

Thanks for re-uploading these. Your top ten vids are my favourites. I don't get why you're being copyright claimed so damn much lately. Other channels aren't!

RU-vid is terrible

What the hell were considered copyrighted material?

@@ClaireDiVODer I think it was the FF13 footage. For some reason they're stingy with that particular thing.

Zodiac age wasn't the one people hated it was the original, I think it is because the writer of the game and creative director fell ill and had to be taken over by someone else for a time meaning the story is a little bit messy at points. A lot of the game's secrets are impossible to figure out without a guild back in the day internet guides were clunky, Data mining wasn't really used to great success either so you were either mostly going off of what other people had discovered or you bought the official guide which cost £25. The gambit system sort of meant the game would take play itself with minimum interaction leaving some boring repetitive battle dwelling the game down to a walking simulator at points. Personally it is my third favourite final fantasy so please understand the above is just an objective look some issue found in the game. To me there is nothing better than walking out into the 3D Desert for the first time.

Zodiac Age and 'normal' Final Fantasy 12 are kind of two completely different games though IMO. Like the story for the games are pretty dull IMO and FF12 had a lot of RNG bullshit in it, but at least Zodiac Age added a fun mechanic (the job system).

Geoff Bannister *shrug* Some people enjoy political intrigue in their fictional stories. As for RNG bullshit, there is nothing to suggest that RNG was implemented poorly in FFXII. A 5% chance of getting a great item from a chest as opposed to a mediocre one is not “bullshit.” What would be bullshit, however, would be if the chest had a 50% chance of exploding and and causing an insta-game over rather than giving you treasure. Ultimately, however, this is all moot... both your criticism and my rebuttal. Because one can easily guarantee that they will get Seitengrat without fail by manipulating the RNG. Point being that any frustration with RNG is frustration that is easily avoided in this game, and it’s not the poor little game’s fault that you can’t find an easier way to nab that super rare treasure.

The story is kind of boring and it's a very hard departure that most people loved

My opinion would be for the OG game on PS2, the very same reason Darkkefka stated in his Top 10 Difficult to obtain items; literally everything. Every sidequest is tied to every other sidequest, which is tied to another sidequest leading to one of the superbosses. Not to mention obtaining the Tournesol which is strenuous as hell, and the Zodiac Spear that CANNOT be acquired without a guide.

You could go make dinner before the first one would be finished casting.

@@jerry1dc 🤣

Knights of the Round + (Mime x 4)

Or Knights of the Round, W-Summon, and fill the rest with counter -> mime. (would put quadra magic in there but it doesn't work with KotR) I wonder if you would have enough MP.

See it never bothered me to force them to mate. It’s not a big deal

@@Mohawk_Productions well it’s not that you don’t do it anyway. If it gets you the gold chocobo, you do it. But it’s impossible to not at some point go “… hey wait”

@@rondorthecruel124 True and it took the one game I did the full chocobo thing where I figured it out but at this point I was actually about 25 hours into it so I said screw it

Truth. I’ve watched these videos so many times. They’re so awesome.

Funny thing is, you understood every word that I said. In the past,many people hated on this video, said that I couldn't speak right. I simply blocked them because I know they where just being dicks..and I don't have time for those.

@@Darkkefka ...

gil is so easy to make in ff7 just master your all materia and you will never run out

@@Darkkefka anyone who has played it, and got all their chocobos understood exactly what you were saying

@@Mike-ix5sv UNLESS, you used the bugs in the game, and got it in exactly 13 minutes!😂

Yeah, I only got Alexander on a recent play through.

@@Cloud9999Strife I've gotten him a bunch of times over the last 20 years. But he's a pain in the ass to get.

as a uncle to three and the youngest is 2 years old, if at some point before i leave this earth and my youngest nephew would rather sit around all night on a friday night working towards a star ocean platinum, i will have done my job as a uncle lol

David Timmer that's the problem, the staff isn't doing shit, the automated system is...

Pretty much all FFX with the exception of Anima, Yojimbo, and Magus Sisters.

Eden is pretty hard to miss really, Deep Sea Research Center isn't that bad, especially if you have Quistis she can instant-kill most of the ennemies with Degenerator simply put her on Low HP and give her Initiative and profit (this is also usable against Malboro so yeah because of that I also disagree with DK statement that Doomtrain is hard to get), not only that but there is a secret way to avoid the forced encounter. Ultima Weapon can be annoying if it decide to spam Light Pillar but this isn't an hard boss, and you should have plenty of time to steal Eden.

Well I heavily over estimated the strength of the monsters so I grinded a lot. I'd defeated the adamantoise so many times and got the growth egg before fighting hecatonchier so for me he was pretty easy.

Rialy Andriamiseza it took me several times to beat him. Then I beat him and died on the way back.

@@philipkinscherf7430 If I remember correctly, there's a gate that opens just after you beat him. It leads directly to the cristal. I almost didn't notice it.

Rialy Andriamiseza are you f-ing serious?!

@@philipkinscherf7430 haha yup he’s right

Hecatoncheir is an absolute asshole. He hits like a damn freight train. And he’s pretty smart too

That monstrocity is really hard to beat in the PS2 version.

@@betmanjacv8784 extremely hard

@@betmanjacv8784 Indeed. I beat it 3 times in the PS2 version, but I was overleveled AF (Level 80+ to be exact) in all 3 fights...

Ultima is tamed compared to fucking Zodiark! He used that damn Darkja killing my party every fucking time even when I have party members that are equipped with items that absorb dark

@@ladynikkie Zodiark can inflict InstaDeath and Blind too which is fucking annoying cause then you have to waste turns removing blind just so your party won't miss

His HP is only around 20,000 so that's not really difficult to do...

I feel like the fact that missing any of the destruction spheres, accidentally or because you might have not known they were necessary, means anima is unobtainable. But shouldnt be that high on the list id agree

can you just back track?

Without it, most of us cant even get to them

surviving the summon can be tricky if you aren't familiar with how faith works in the game, which was definitely true for me when I played as a kid.

tactics is so easy to break its nothing compared to zodiark

Only one that doesn't heal!!

I was subscribed to Gamepro magazine back in the day several issues had a walkthrough of ff7 and FFA that helped me out a lot.

The official strategy guide even set aside two or three pages for how to get doom train, great summon though and always useful.

Which ones you planning on playing? I tried to play through the ff4 remake (for Nintendo ds) but kinda got burnt out because just the overall difficulty really 😓

Hiders heart I've played then all but I haven't beaten 1-6 I'm almost done with 6 and I'm leaning more towards 4ds, after years, and 5

JOC217 ff4 ds , ff4 after years ,and ff5 are the hardest ff games . but it doenst forbid you to play them first , btw ff5 was the first ff that i beat and ff4 ds was the second ff i beat , even though both games areVERY hard . i recommend you to play ff4 ds after beat (you can use guide w no guilty, because this game is a little unfair at times in a good sense) ff6 , it will be a very tough but very pleasant experience

Hiders heart yes its really tough, the boss battle in this game is almost unfair .

@Ultimatefighter343 yes , i know it, but i don"t recommend it for people who wanna start playing final fantasy for the first time , because it isnt that easy at first.

I prepared so long for that fight but I got him on my first try😂 I had Seitengrad tho

Yea I'm just gonna ignore that one entirely.

yes

Probably the chocobo sage. That's how I managed to get the gold chocobo. Expensive as all hell though.

the strategy guide maybe?

Time consuming, not hard, if you know what your doing. Anima is easy to attain, unless it's your first playthrough and didnt get all the destruction spears. By the time your ready to get the magus sisters, your so powerful that defeating all of belgamines aeons is a walk in the park.

@@Mike-ix5sv I never said it was hard. Just harder than Anima.

I was playing it and using Blitzball as a way to hang out with my father, distract him from some crappy stuff going on. He likes to work the percentages. But man. I am so stuck on the Calm Lands. AGAIN. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was grinding for months, since I’m a completionist. By killing a few fiends you can get a ton of Gil quickly. And yet... it’s so friggin boring I have to quit after half an hour. Maybe quarantine will make me bored enough to dive back in, but yikes. It’ll still hurt. 😫

@@SunflowerSpotlight Whatever passes the time,right? It was the celestial weapons and their sigils and crests that I can't go through again

Paul Hampton Exactly. A time will come where playing will help hold off the madness more than risk me breaking a controller, and I’ll wade back into the grinding. 😂 Although, I play it on Switch, and the controller seems to have enough of a delay that some mini games are impossible. The butterflies in Machalania and the lightening strikes in the Thunder Plains aren’t playable. My brother, who got the butterflies easily, couldn’t do it. I got the lightening strikes easily before and now, nope. Also, I never had issues with Tidus’s overdrives. It’s just timing. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But i have to press the button slightly before I would normally, on PS2, for it to work. Which works with him, as you can see that point coming up. But you can’t predict lightening strikes that precisely for that long before they pop up. So I may not get the celestial weapons either. As I’m a completionist, this hurts me. But I’m so overpowered, and I want to fashion some kickass weapons for them anyway, with gillionaire (a driving part of my need to grind for gil), triple OD, etc. So maybe I’ll just skip it on a few of them. At least I’m on track to get Wakka’s and Auron’s, and they’re the ones I care about. Cheers on whatever gaming you’re into now, and I hope it helps keeps your spirits up right now during the crisis.

Yeah it all about luck.

Hell I still haven't beat that fucker

@@ladynikkie Lol it's all luck. Are you at least getting to the part where he spams Darkja?
