hey guys, I thought of this the other day when watching some diablo 3 hardcore mode vids on youtube......
now keep in mind that it would work with any final fantasy rpg where you DON'T get auto healed by anything other than items used by yourself (no npc heals allowed, if a game in the series gives u a heal provided by an npc other than an inn, it wont qualify for the challenge), tents/cottages/etc. are allowed, just no npc free heals from anything other than an inn, UNLESS the inn revives you (some FF games do that, some don't), and as in true diablo 3 hardcore mode fashion, if a character falls in battle, they cant be revived what-so-ever, including during the battle, which means no phoenix downs, and if ur playing any of the different versions of the original FF (NES/GBA/PSX/PSP) that means if you use w white mage/wizard (I strongly recommend that if u play this in the challenge to use 2 white mage/wizards or a white mage/wizard and a red mage/wizard to have extra healing, hell even a warrior/knight would help too) you would not be allowed to use life (raise), or full-life (arise) and in any of the games where it exists, auto-life (reraise) is out as well......
you are free to choose whatever classes you want (in games where it applies) and you would have to gear up everybody as such......
and another thing, should a character fall in battle, not only are they dead permanently, you have the option of removing their equipment, or leaving them as is, the choice is yours
