Dr. Morbis | 2,089 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Well, I'm done my solo White Mage w/no class change challenge, so Final Fantasy is done, if no one else has beaten it yet. And now for the story no one is going to believe: So I had Chaos down to about his last 500 HP when he SLO2'd me and then on his next turn CUR4'd himself, so at this point it was a total lost cause. So I did what any dying Light Warrior would do with his last breath: I pulled out my Bane Sword and went for the 1 in 201 chance of one-shotting a now fully healed Chaos with Poison Smoke..... AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!!!! I have no video or any sort of proof, so if no one believes me, that's totally fine, but I'll always have the memory of dropping my controller and falling forward out of my chair in complete and utter disbelief. This is my favourite RPG of all time and I've beaten it countless times in countless configurations, but this was a new one, even for me... So TLDR: Final Fantasy is done.

I only got as far as the fourth track and wasn't planning on picking it back up today; I'm playing something else. I'm honestly relieved you beat it. I was starting to not have fun with it. Excitebike is one of my favorite games, but Track 5 does seem to be quite a bit tougher than the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PII | 1,886 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Milon's Secret Castle Didn't quite No-Death this time. I actually had to beat all 4 Maharitos for the first time, I think. Anomalous Observation: The 1st Nighttime outside the castle passed in a flash, then returned in a matter of a few to several seconds at most and remained for nearly the entire game until I ran into some bad luck on the penultimate boss for a death...

Truly. I'm excited I beat all the tracks on Selection A. That's a personal W. The opposing riders in Selection B make me want to throw my controller through the wall.

It looks like the odds are actually 3/256 = 1.17%. So 1 out of every 85 chances, basically. https://tasvideos.org/GameResources/NES/FinalFantasy1#Bane Edited January 9, 2022 by scaryice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaia Gensouki | 1,075 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just beat Toki. A decent-ish game with nice graphics and a moderate difficulty. However, the last level with it's mine cart segments was fairly annoying since you have to get used to that right away and every miss results in a death, which eventually caused my first and only game over. Unfortunately, all my life power-ups were lost after that so that the final boss ended up being a lot more difficult than it should have been.

Philosoraptor | 468 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Pin Bot is done with a score of 10,939,550, all on the first table. Thank you vortexes! That ball-eating monster kept ruining my run, but I figured out how to avoid moving onto the second table after a while (don't hit the vortex when in multiball mode). Rare did a great job with this one, for sure. Edited January 10, 2022 by Philosoraptor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like those TAS guys have it down to an absolute science, though... EDIT: Actually, I just read the last sentence of the BANE section, and it says this: "If we look more specifically at a fight with one living hero in slot 1 vs a poison-immune boss, there is only 1 possible starting seed that will allow the hero to go first and succeed." Since I went first on the round that I killed Chaos, this means I actually hit on a 1 in 256 !!! Edited January 9, 2022 by Dr. Morbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
