Can You Beat Final Fantasy 9 With Only Trance?

#CanYouBeat #FinalFantasy #FinalFantasy9
This is a Trance Only challenge for Final Fantasy 9. The only damage we can deal to any enemy is damage caused solely by each character's specific, and unique Trance ability/buff. The point behind this challenge is that this almost forces you to endure every enemies' onslaught if you intend to beat them.

I am very sure that I will pronounce something wrong in this video, or maybe I will have not quite used the most optimal strategy in certain places, but I am very proud of the end result, and it was a labour of 2 and half months of continous work. I hope you enjoy :D

Thanks for watching!

We stream on Fridays and Saturdays at 20:30 GMT either here or on Twitch

As a joke, as the Necron fight was wrapping up, I was gonna comment, "cool, now do Ozma". But bro, I wasn't serious. Holy hell. This was insane. Incredible.

[Mickey]

saying the words "the third disk" brought back some memories. It felt so cool to have multiple disk games.

Funnily enough, Ozma's Meteor actually just does random damage. It can do as little as 110 damage and as much as 9999.
In theory, you could be lucky and just get hit for barely anything every time it uses Meteor.

There are a lot of incredible emotional moments during FF9, from Blank turning to stone, to Zidane realizing he's not alone and all that. But damn, when Steiner goes from a level 9 screwup to a 15+ knight because he badly wants to protect the city and his sweetheart, awh <3

"Use an Ether." I'm not sure what this means, is this another language? Items are for hoarding, not using.

One little specification on Ozma:

The devs let him have one status weakness, Slow, as a joke. He actually has his own special passive ability I like to call "Nuh uh I go first" where any time you issue an order his ATB bar fills instantly, he picks his move, and executes it BEFORE the order you issued. So the only 'safe' time to issue orders is during the animation of one of his abilities, otherwise he will get his turn in-between all your characters' turns.

Absolutely cracked run. I can't even imagine how long and how much patience this video took.

I've just watched an hour-long video of a guy who sounds like Richard Ayoade doing the most insane FF9 challenge I've ever heard of, and I never got bored throughout. Kudos, sir! Subbed :)

[MondyTS]

Dude! The effort you put in these videos is insane, can't wait to see your channel blow!

[Darkmage]

I like how that Ozma run wasn't just luck; it was BLIND luck.

[mistahjenkins]

I find it interesting that each Trance mode has a unique form that people go into. Like with Steiner getting more armor, or Vivi's hat straightening. Although, it IS interesting that out of all of them, Zidane and Kujo are the only ones who's forms retain a pinkish hue, while the others are primarily green.

The moogles in FF9 are soo cute and adorable and how their heads turn to follow where your character is, they’re the cutest moogles in any FF game I know. 😊😊

Loving FF9 aside, the video was a treat due to the length. We don't get long challenge videos from anybody too terribly often, so this was rather pleasant. Thanks for this man.

You made me want to play this game again... Such a classic, it was my favorite FF game when I was a kid.

[rogermucroy]

Yes! It's always been my favourite too. I loved 7 and 8 as a kid but when FF9 came out it hit different. I've replayed it so many times. Getting all the cards was a nightmare as I still don't understand how the card game works lol

[Oolong_Bagged]

There is something soothing about the way you describe everything, an hour+ goes by in a flash. Well done!

[forlineumtosino]

I was supposed to write a paper and then my youtube algorithm showed me this video. This is by far my favorite final fantasy and I don't regret a single second that I watched this video. Great content!

[diaserinade]

1:15:55 "But then we all get hit with curse..."

The way your voice sounded when you said this slayed me 😂

[andreseh]

Man. This just renews my appreciation and admiration for this game. The fact that you can play it any way you like is just so awesome. What an awesome run

[TheKeyblader]

I need you to know I've watched this 4 times. Once for the initial viewing, a 2nd time while rewatching for reenjoyment, only to fall asleep (it is relaxing), a *third time* cause "oh I didnt listen to the whole thing, I wanna hear what i missed" *proceeds to fall asleep again*, and then finally, a 4th time while I wasnt in bed to listen to it properly

In my defense you have a very pleasant voice and I enjoy the rare times I can listen to a video and fall asleep while doing so. (Frankly I think the way you speak is one of my favorite parts. Especially the way you say "Once we beat X, we win!". Sincerely)
