Insane Difficulty: Decide my next playthrough! - Community Speedless Challenge - Insane Difficulty

How about a Russian Ramza Roulette? You apply each job to a number, and before each battle, have a random number generator select 2 jobs, one for main, one for secondary, and each battle you have to enter with Ramza as those classes. (you can grind randoms in between as those classes for abilities, but each story battle you have to roll for new jobs).

I thought about it, but the main thing behind this idea is that I want the 1.3 community to come up with wacky rules between battles, and then expect me to beat the battle anyway, kinda like "Challenge Hart-Hunt" for each battle in the story. That's why I want to keep it this open-ended.

Now, if that's the actual rule you want me to do for a battle, russian roulette for all of the team, I could do that.

I got a FFT 1.3 file with all The classes available at the get-go, so if anyone wants to do a random class challenge, just tell me and I PM the link

You seem pretty set on the no RSM run, but I'd like to propose one anyways.

The Harem Run/Big Pimpin

Ramza + 4 female generics

Ramza can only use Squire/Chemist/Marksman/Thief skills
Ramza's weapons are restricted to Knives/Ninja Knives/Bowguns/Guns
Because that's what a pimp uses. Guns and knives :^)

The 4 female generics must always be using Dancer as their primary class by the beginning of chapter 2.
All RSM and secondary skillsets allowed on the Dancers.

Here's the caveats:

No randoms, but poaching and stealing are allowed.

Starting at chapter 2, if a unit is wearing an accessory and it can be stolen, it MUST be stolen.

All jp grinding must be done during story battles in chapter 1 to unlock the Dancer class.

The only way to unlock stuff from other classes past chapter 1 is by absorbing crystals or doing propositions. It is only proper that one would have their hoes do work for them.

Regardless of whether or not you do this, I most likely will be. I'll make a thread when I start.

I have one wacky rule
One character must be IA controlled

All of those are noted. I'll start recording during the week.

Keep them coming!

Playthrough or riot Kappa

We're rioting kappa as we speak.

Okay, announcement!

In one of my many exchanges with Mishrak, he's repeatedly said that "Speed is the god stat", and that Hamedo is required on chapter 4 (Notice we speak more liberal in chat, so don't bash him *too* hard on that. But do bash him on that. Scrub.).

So, I'm adding some restrictions as a base for the entire playthrough. I'm naming this playthrough: Community Speedless Challenge.

The base rules are:
-Banned equipment: Everything that increases speed
-Banned statii: Haste, Slow, Stop
-Banned jobs: Thieves, Ninjas (Steal / Throw as secondaries are fine)
-Banned specials: Marche, Malak, Reis (fast speed growths when they enter)
-Banned reactions: Hamedo, Meatbone Slash
-Banned skills: Meltdown
-Banned cheeses : Death Sentence + Sleep

On top of that, the community (you guys!) will be adding random restrictions for each battle! Random example: Dorter 2: Must have a unit constantly using Wiznaibus for the entire fight.

The one thing I don't know how to manage is JP. I really don't want to do randoms to grind JP once again in my life <.< But all abilities from the beginning is not happening, it's too broken.

For now, I'll start with natural growth for a few battles, since it's chapter 1.

More to come soon.

Zero grind required solution: only learn abilities from crystals.

That'd be... 10/10 hard, like that would be a challenge by itself, and I doubt it'd get past chapter 2.

However

Hart-Hunt, on 10 June 2016 - 01:13 PM, said:

Status is a fourth declension Latin noun, so the proper plural is also status.

Goddamn it. I swear I always typed status. I tried to be smart once and I failed.

(tbf I never had Latin in my life)

These are all of the challenges, adjusted for individual battles. If you want to edit them somehow, let me know. I'll do all of them in any order I'd like, because I want to have fun. :]

From now on, only post challenges for individual battles. You can also specify your challenges to be done on certain battles. For these, know that it's first come, first serve.

I'll first do Mandalia plains with the nudity challenge, because it's easy to set up and it will be fun. I still don't know what I'll do with JP. For now, my idea is to unlock every job, because the fun is in the challenges, not the JP progression.

Challenge list:
Cavalry challenge (By Bishop): All units must be mounted, chocobos can't act, they can only move.
Cursed Team (By Quadpolar): All units must wear Cursed Rings.
All in the family (By BigManStan): Use the 3 tiers of a monster family.
Nudity challenge (By seraph9888): All units must be naked.
Kjata's challenge (By Kjata)
Banned Jobs and classes: Mediators, Monks, Thieves, all monsters
Banned skills: Quick, Meatbone Slash
Other: Level 99, Must use a wizard and a squire (not uber-squire)
Stop copying me! (By Archifede): Use 3 Mimes (Maybe 4?)
Bohemian Rhapsody (By Kaffe Myers): No shoes or heavy armor. Must play with one unit as either Mime, Dancer or Bard.
Russian FFT Roulette (By Crimson Avix): Randomize jobs and secondaries for each character before the battle. Must repeat it for each attempt (To make things interesting).
AI Challenge (by Archifede): Two character must be AI controlled.
The Harem Run / Big Pimpin (By thedopemasta):
Ramza + all female generics
Ramza can only use Squire / Chenist / Marksman job / abilities
Ramza's weapons are restrcted to knives/bowguns/guns
Generics must be Dancers
(Can't steal every accessory because no steal)

Well if you're doing wacky rules... Do a fight where you only do moves that were created for 1.3. You know, like almost all of the Wizard, Priest's Holy Strike or Rejuvenate-- but not cure. That could be interesting.

*applauds* That's excellent. Added to the list.

Friendly reminder everyone, it will be more interesting if you add which castle you'd like to see with the challenges you post!

Challenge starts: Now!

Gariland Magic City - Pacifist Leader challenge (by me)



I expect your challenges!

Episode number 2!

Mandalia Plains - Nudity Challenge (by seraph9888):


The next battle is Sweegy Woods, and I haven't recorded it yet. I'll most likely allow all jobs / abilities from now on. So be sure to throw your challenges!

It's been too long since Hart-Hunt has spoken For You. This is great.

Foot Up Your Ass Challenge -- Play using your feet only. Must have footcam.

I'd totally do that if I had a proper cam.

I'm sorry to say I'm having a small vacation, so no vids til next tuesday night! I promise I'll get more ragey when I get back. I'm sure you all love that. lmao
