Im committing Video Game Suicide!!; By doing the most painful challenge ever =]

So I decided to do a FF1 run where I beat the game only using the Thief/Ninja class. So far its pretty rough its hours and hours of grinding atm and about to get the CROWN atm then after that I gotta grind some more. If anyone is interested in tracking my progress Im making a Vlog type of journal in youtube which is in my sig.

For anyone who has ever played Final Fantasy 1 they would know that it is one of the most relentless RPG's ever. The thief class is basically useless. Atm it feels like im playing FFXI, consistantly grinding while still feeling weak against most foes. The main problem with thief tho is ASTOS, on a thief its just a nightmare because its a boss that basically 1-shots you and if you dont get 1-shot with the "Rub" spell its still a grusom battle.

Anyone out there with some cool old school challenges that they have done? I need all the motivation I can get so hearing an epic old school challenge would really pump me up. Im sure a lot of younger gamers dont really appreciate challenges but thats what you did back in the day when you beat the game 100 times and had nothing better to do, challenges were runs in games like zelda with no sword or no damage runs in hard games like Mega Man.

While i haven't done something like this myself, i remember seeing some YouTube Videos where people did stuff like a "Pidgey/Caterpie Only" Walktrough of the original Pokemon games, without making them ever evolve. It's kind of similiar to what you are doing with Final Fantasy, but i think this one's slightly more easy.

Also, i remember ONLYUSEmeBLADE beating the whole Call of Duty Campaign on Veteran only using the Knife, which is a pretty damn hard task.

As for myself, i've been wanting to Beat Oblivion only using my Fists, which shouldn't be THAT hard, but entertaining for shure.

Yesterday my friends and I got drunk enough to try to finish Glover 64. Needless to say, after the 3rd level we all gave up and played Conker's BFD instead.

I don't understand the point of doing these things lol. My philosophy is there is so little time in the end to play all the great games out there, why waste it on torturing yourself? I guess I would be a hypocrite though...I despised FF8 and I refused to put that game down until I beat it just to say I beat it and say I beat all the final fantasies.

There is no point really. Just one of those things you hear about people doing and every time I see that I always think to myself I should totally do that. I ended up finally deciding to do it and crosss that off my video game bucket list lol

No point? I think ideas like this highly increase the replay value of the games you play on, and it's shure an interesting way to challenge yourself. :)

I sometimes do the Pokemon thing where I'll only use one Pokemon the whole game, but I usually do let them evolve...
Man...my Nidoking was a beast in Gold...

I beat FF11 and FF14 you want to know how? I QUIT PLAYING THEM!! =] never playing them counts as beating them as well

Tonight I finally beat Astos at level 26 with my solo thief and it took 5 hours worth of attempts. Mind you a 4 party team can beat him around level 9ish prob less. And I beat him on the PS1 version which is the hardest version of him. This boss is where people said you cant do a Thief solo because this boss prevents it so im glad I finally killed him. And if you try to solo thief him on GBA or PSP version of the game it doesnt count cause those games are 10x easier than the PS1 and NES versions.
