A Challenge for Myself!

[TherathxRikku]

Lately, I've been feeling nostalgic for the original Kingdom Hearts I, and I always play on Expert Mode with the same set, Magic Staff and fast EXP track. So, I'm gonna play through the game with the Strength Sword and with a Moderate EXP track, I don't wanna push myself TOO far. lol

If you guys want me to try something a bit more challenging, speak up! I've missed playing this game and I'm starting this afternoon, so votes are needed NOW!

err.. i never got to try it, but some options would b nice so that i know what i'm thorwin @ ya

 

[rissole25]

Yea you should give us some options.

Oh I have one. You must beat Sephiroth with the Kingdom Key. That should be a hard challenge for you. Especially on Expert Mode since I've never beaten him on Easy Mode anyway.

 

[clief101_]

play the whole game using only the kingdom key

 

[TherathxRikku]

Perfect, I've tried that before and gave up halfway. lol

Expert mode is really only noticeable one the Gummi Ship, I never noticed any difference in the regular Heartless.

I have some options, though I'm not going through the game without healing, ain't gonna happen. lol

No armor items.
No Elixir use.
Goofy and Donald keep default weapons.
Use no Black Magic, Fire, Gravity, etc... (I hardly do anyway.)
No Special Attacks, Ars Arcanum, Ragnarok, etc...
No use of Scan (this one is a real challenge)
Little or no use of Guard (I sort of need it)
No Status Enhancement Items, AP Boost, Strength Boost, etc...
No Special Abilities, Glide, High Jump, etc...

If you guys want me to close to kill myself any further, you need to come up with them, I'll do all these and more. I'll put off playing it till we get them all in.

 

[clief101_]

lol, this sounds like fun ai....im now thinking about doing a VII challenge b'coz of this

 

[rissole25]

I like the no use of scan actually.

Clief. You should do a LLG on it. Or keep default weapons on the whole time.

 

[clief101_]

well atm i was trying jus a standard run through coz i havnt dun it in a while...but i think im gunna do a LLG and original weapons for every1 XD, thatd be hard...jus gota actualy do it....after my speed run though, im guna see how fast i can get through the game...im aiming for less than 20 hrs

 

[TherathxRikku]

Guard Armor is a bit difficult without Scan or higher defense. But I almost beat him yesterday, I'm gonna level up a bit and try again. I was lvl 7, let's aim for 9 and see what happens.

 

[clief101_]

lol, im usualy a lvl 10 b4 i leave destiny islands XD

 

[TherathxRikku]

Usually me, too, but with the way things are going, I'll only get Combo Boosts by leveling up, which are USELESS!!!!!

 

[clief101_]

i like combo boosts

 

[TherathxRikku]

When you have all three, they come in somewhat handy, but they only increase the combo by a single hit, and I use aerial combos, they're faster, leaving the enemy less time to escape my barrage. Scan is handy for me cause I have OCD for seeing how much longer I have till I'm done with a battle. That's why early FF games drive me insane.

 

[clief101_]

haha, ino exactly wat u mean XD

 

[TherathxRikku]

Well, I got done with it this morning, I pretty much ignored Sephy for the time being, with my abilities, I can beat him at level 50 without Ultima Weapon, but I kind of struggled through Riku and didn't wanna push it. lol

 

[clief101_]

so uve beaten the game?

 

[rissole25]

I had trouble with the second Riku battle on my first playthrough, could never dodge his attacks.

 

[TherathxRikku]

You're supposed to spam Guard in that fight. Not like I could, though. >_> I had to dodge EVERYTHING!!! I miss my abilities. T-T

But yeah, I beat it the other day. I was playing it every day for about 5 hours every day. The most trouble I had was beating bosses without using some kind of Black Magic. Spamming Attack got old reeeeeal quick.

 

[clief101_]

haha, thats funny...the only magics i used in that game was the cure's and aero's

 

[TherathxRikku]

I love my magicks. Although I eventually found a use for Air Combo Boost, it helped during the Dragon fight.
