Can I Beat Final Fantasy 10 using only Counter Attacks? - Challenge Video

Huge Thank you to Spellmasons for sponsoring todays video! check the game out on steam here! - bit.ly/Spellmasons

At the start of the video, he mentioned needing a "palette cleanser" before starting the next challenge. Clearly it's going to be a FFVI Relm Sketch-Only challenge...

"A counter can't trigger a counter" Good thing this isn't Disgaea or the counter war would've gone crazy.

I am Brian and this is my favorite masochist on Youtube.

I'd say when it comes to manual counter it should be allowed, unless doing a manual attack has a higher base damage than an auto-counter. However, as X does not have that as a feature you should be allowed to do so for any attack that hits but does not trigger counter. "Hits" specifically as with the base counter skill, if the attack does not land counter does not get triggered. Hope this was a good enough reason as to why it should be allowed. Can't wait to see what you do next Primal! Just make sure Daph gets some Bahumat action soon.

Primalliquid: I'm tired of the name drama, so I'm going to name blondie here Ko-Fi. Primalliquid, 1 minute later: ...for Tie-dus here...

Cant wait for the FFX Kimahri Blue Mage/Ronso Rage only challenge

"Need a break from 10 series"! I love it when you start a video with a joke! one is NEVER done with 10

I'll take a stab at the hint and say it'll be some sort of Yuna/Lulu duo challenge but they can only use physical attacks. I think the hint comment was about giving them evade and counter later, not for a counter only challenge like this one, but just a way to let them get a slight bit more damage on top of their own basic attacks *edit to add that they can still use items/spells for healing and defensive buffs, but any damage output can only be done with basic attack or from counters.

Who does even think about " can you beat FF10 with only counter attack" Primal you are wild xD

I agree with you at the 12:00 mark - manually counterattacking does not seem like it's in the spirit of the challenge. But instead of just calling it a fail and giving up I would suggest keeping a count of how many fights you had to bend the rules like that for, and then include that in the wrap-up.

You need to put "I'm going to slightly bend the rules" on a shirt.

I think that FF4's thumbnail in the Steam screenshot is the hint for the next video. If this is right, I shall have cake, please

Throwing a random idea out there... 'Can I beat Final Fantasy 7 using only Bahamut?' Daph would approve of this run at least

With counterattack being unable to trigger, you did the next best thing which is manually doing so as if it were a counterattack. It's legal to do that against Geneaux. Nice job!

From what I understand, you can counter an attack command and white/black magic command, but you cannot counter abilities and skills.

I'd be keen to see a golden sun challenge run.

Am i a terrible person for wanting to see you keep going along and just have a "We had to cheat for these bosses" list at the end? All the Seymour fights and Yunalesca would have been soul destroying. Love your stuff PL can't wait for the next vid! And yes get Daph some food (but as for the letting her out of the cage part don't get too generous)

i feel like for a run like this, even with it modded in, you can't feasibly start until Mihen. specifically because most of the bosses cant trigger the counter naturally in some situations. making it an attack/item only until Mihen, then counter only from there could save some headaches or feeling like the run is failed by manual counters. then again, maybe the manual countering could be worked into it, making it a no magic run until Mihen instead.

It's really refreshing to see someone actually front up on a challenge video and say no, it's not possible. I can't remember the last time i saw a legit challenge video, most should be titled "Can i beat (game) using only X, except for when i use Y and Z to carry on regardless and make a longer video".
