I love that there are people still playing 13, love the video.

[Rafael-krzv]

know its an old video, but damn i love this game, brings back so many memories, ty for still playing after all these years

[grumpypunchuk]

Im taking a break from uploading content to get the treasure hunter achievement, I really enjoyed this vid! cheers man

[heizi-lyh]

This game brings back so much great memories. Thnx for the video!

[iamthehobo]

I recently replayed 13 to get all that post game stuff done and it was a pain even with full crystarium, gj on this accomplishment

[TheUKNutter]

Stupid me thought i had to do all the missions before continuing as a kid (i was worried they would be lost), so I ACTUALLY did this. This was 15 years ago without any internet knowledge.

Nice video! Some feedback: I watched through to the end because I had fond memories of playing FF13 when it first came out, but I would have liked you to have an initial explanation of some of the base systems you’re engaging with. Many of the people who come across this video won’t understand the specifics of the challenge, or what C9 means. I can imagine some folks will leave once they realize that you’re just going to plow into the tasks without context

[yahboioji]

Youre a saint i finally know how to deal with those TURTLES

[sleepwalker]

Bro amazing video, i found it a bit late but I appreciate the playthrough and your narrating skills, I was on edge on the last fight on mission 64.

[tanita]

That was sooo impressive to see!! Keep up the good work!

[Jacois]

I tried this challenge back when it came out. I gave up; too hard. Good job!

[IDidntWantAHandleYouTube]

I agree. FF13 is such a deeply flawed game, but I have so much fun with it nonetheless. I also did a C9 all 5-star mission run and had a blast. It’s actually a really neat battle system that sort of gets undermined by its stiflingly linear growth system and most players’ over reliance on auto-battle.

By the way, you can kill Neochu without Death at that point. I had to start with shrouds and use SEN Snow to tank a lot of the damage, but it was a fun (albeit chaotic) challenge!

[Sundel_Marlutte]

Great job! I also love FFXIII, it's so good and I'm sad that people hate on it because of some decade old memes about hallways

[iNsOmNiAcAnDrEw]

Me too! I've done it with only Vanille, only Snow, and only Fang(3 different runs where I couldn't swap out my leader). Beating Vercingetorix with Snow/Fang as leader was so hard at Stage 9 Crystarium! It was also pretty fun figuring out how to beat Attacus without Fang as leader at Stage 9 Crystarium. I think Sazh or Lightning as leader might be more effective than Vanille against Vercingetorix. Either way, congrats on doing the challenge run.

After 100% on FF13, FF13-2 + DLC, and FF13LR + DLC, I figured FF13 takes the longest and the hardest to farm and grind with because you have to do everything yourself, while FF13-2 has DLC that gave you high power COM and RAV lighting ; and FF13LR allows you to adjust difficulty and rewind time while keeping LR level and items if you can't finish the game in one shot. Whenever I did a FF3 new game I fell asleep a few times as I kept on farming and farming, grinding and grinding, for experience, item, and $; just to be able to upgrade each character's accessories and weapons to its highest.

Love this game, after puttin 430 hrs in FFX and 630 hrs in X2, FF13 is a breath of fresh air and in my opinion better, better acting and no tedious bullshit, hope does my head in but i dont need to use him so it's good.

[kinguard]

Im replaying ffxiii and gotta say when i watched this video it made me want to do this challenege

[residntvl]

I am in chapter 11 and have gotten all but 12 missions done its been a hard time i love the video might finish them before i go to the next chapter.

[waheedbalushi]

[ZEHAHAHA]
