[Snakeebeat]

The Goal is to Kill Ozma with everyone at level 1

Who is with me ?

[Ryuseki]

It's been done, with no encounter mode a thing now it'll be even easier.

[Snakeebeat]

i hope thats optional and would set as rule that the mod is of

or you couldnt call that a challance anymore <.<


and i hope the same vor the auto-safe

Because running from battles 1000 times or keeping virus status on is hard? No it's tedius and annoying.

[Marschelpoet]

Would still like to see it though :D

[Haggislord]

i will do to too ;)

[israel-silva]

ff9 iis not a S&M game
count me out LOL

[Siptro]

high speed option and no encouters means everyone will run this at least once, probably have achievements focused around this run

Oddly enough, Ozma is just as hard at level 99 as he is at level 1.

The only things you really have to worry about are Curse and Meteor,

Absorb MP, Berserk, Death, Mini are statuses that can be cured, and are really just annoyances,
Lv4 Holy, Lv5 Death will miss.
Flare and Holy are single target.
Flare Star will only deal 50 dmg because it's dmg is scaled to your level.
Doomsday can be absorbed with the right gear

Meteor is pretty much the only thing you have to worry about, because it's the only thing that can completely wipe you out.

Thats not to say he isnt a huge ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ to kill tho... lol

[Scarlet Crusade]

He's completely random and can kill you if he wants and there's nothing you can do about it if he wants to spam Meteor and Curse. There is no defending it no matter what level you are. Plus, he has the absurd mechanic of getting full ATB any time he's not acting and you take an action.

Yeah, let's make everyone 99 lvl at the beginning, because fighting 100000 times at the beginning is hard? No, it's tedius and annoying.

split the difference between these two ^ and beat the game in under 12 hours around lv 20-40.... that's the only real challenge in my opinion.

It was fun to do the lv1 thing in FF8 because the characters could still get there stats from the magic system (i.e. giving everyone Ultima for health or whatever) which made it not only possible but the game more interesting... but in FF9 I don't see a reason for it other than ego.... get the legendary excalibur if you want a challenge, at least than you know you did everything perfect and wasted little time to the finish.

Well, if you're looking for ideal stats (maxed or otherwise), you have to keep everyone to level 1 until everyone's in the party, at least. And if you want Eiko's stats to be pure, you can't level up Marcus either. Blank has to steal the XP from the Evil Forest bits so that no one levels up... it's also pretty interesting to me that it's incredibly viable to go through the entire game at level 1 if you know what you're doing. It's not even that difficult of a challenge. Equipment and ability setups are much more important than your level in this game. It's very fun, nothing about ego.

Excalibur II is totally a pointless trophy item, though. That would certainly fall under pride, ego, bragging rights, however you want to slice it. It -is- a pretty great feeling to finally obtain it legitimately, though. And then to do it again without missing anything along the way, later.

That was in no way relevent to what I posted, please gain reading comprehension before trying to be an ass. Thanks.

if you want to get something out of lvl 1 challenge it would be this:
theres certain gear that gives stat bonuses when lvl up, so if you want to max out char stats you have to hold back lvl gains till you leave terra (cd4). till this point its pretty easy to do this btw.
there is only one fight you have to restart if rng ♥♥♥♥♥ up (first encounter after first boss) and only one point in the game where you need infection (and the mobs even provide it at this specific time).
i remember the hillgiant boss beeing a giant pain in the ass tho.
