Have any of you tried any FF7 Challenges, there's a bunch of them to try and some of them bring a whole new perspective to the game and make it much more challenging. Here's a list of different challenges. You can mix them up into bigger challenges as well.
Solo Character (SC): Basically, you have to make sure your supporting party members are dead at all times. It can be quite the pain in the ass really.
Initial Equip (IE): You can only use the items your characters start the game with.
No Materia (NM): You may not have any materia equiped at any time, unless the game requires you to. (Such as in the beginning)
Initial Limit (IL): Use only level 1 Limit breaks
No Save (NS): This one is usually paired with speed runs, but it is as it says, you cannot save at all.
No Item (NI): No use of items are allowed at any time, you pretty much have to sell them.
Low Level (LL): Beat the game at the lowest level possible. Which is lv 28 for Cloud. To achieve this, you MUST run from every battle you possibly can. This also involves avoiding the giant spider in the Nibilhiem caves. This can also be mixed with Solo-Character. Allowing you to get a lv 7 Tifa to the end of game. (It's a real pain in the ass to do.)
Enemy-Skill Only (ESO): With this you can only use Enemy skills, No materia or items are allowed to be used.
No Accessories (NO): This one is simple, you can't equip accessories.
You can also set other rules to the challenges such as ACTIVE ATB, FASTEST BATTLE SPEED, BEAT GAME IN UNDER 20 HOURS, ECT.
I've done a no materia playthrough and it was very easy, limit breaks are more than enough to beat the game. MY new Challenge that im under taking is as follows. (LLNOIENA)
Low-Level, No Materia, Initial Equipment, No Accessories, Active ATB, Fastest Battle speed, Must get the date with Yuffie. So Basically I plan on making it to Sephiroth at a level lower than 30 using only my Buster sword and some items. I can't wait to try emerald/ruby weapon out. I'll post my resuts as I go.
Post any challenges you guys may undertake.
