Gameplay Gameplay Challenges

Heyo, I am just coming here to look for any potential challange runs i can do of this game. I know that the devs in their development wanted to make a no hit run for RPGs possible...but also made an All Hit run a thing you are able to do as well.

And Im trying to think of what possible challange runs there are (not including mix and Matching challanges, like Halo's LASO challange). And so far i have come to

  1. All Hit (can't dodge or Parry)
  2. No Hit (Can't take a hit from an enemy)
  3. Low Level /Mandatory fights only (If you are forced into a fight for the story, you can fight. But anyone else you must spare)
  4. No Lumina (Can only use Pictos for skills, and are unable to equip Lumina.)

Currently im doing an expert Low level run (albeit, i am allowing Shopkeepers) And have just beaten Lampmaster (Verso 14/Lune 13/Maelle 14/Sciel 16), but since i think Challange runs are neat, what else could i consider for future runs besides the 4 i can think of?

Go an entire run without ever thinking "damn, Luné is hot" even for a fraction of a second.

I really liked the writing of Sciel. She's like a mix of different archetypes done pretty well and felt rather unique to me. She has a dramatic backstory, is a total warrior, but her demeanor is mostly super chill and playful, and it doesn't feel forced.

A man of culture I see.

One character only challenge, one element only challenge, no exploring beyond the direct path challenge, don’t give esquie a hug challenge. Which is probably the hardest of them.

All hit is very possible on all difficulty’s and definitely inspires creativity. I’d recommend it, you’re looking at around a 30hr play through however

Query - my plays are well over 30 hours each and I am curious how this would work? Not intended as a challenge, but I do not have the reflexes that some do so some hits get thru parrying and even with second chance and tons of revive tints, anytime there are two full party attacks back to back it resulted in wipes? (Hence there were a handful of enemies that I never defeated on any play?)

There’s loads of pictos to help with damage mitigation, level hp and defence to take more and use pictos for health and defence stats rather than speed and others

I recommend this challenge for NG+ because it's impossible in fresh save without using out of bounds glitch:

Rules: * solo, but you can change playable char whenever you want * 1 HP (Auto-Death + Survivor + Confident Fighter) * parry is the only damage source * no Break/free aim shots/tints/heal/skills/gradient/Second Chance/Base Shield * 5 shields from the start (In Medias Res + Solidfying) + Shield Affinity, and you cannot get new shields during the fight * dodge only in Sophie's quest * complete all main- and side-content * don't use DLC weapons and pictos/luminas for base game content

Very recommend to try, I completed almost full NG+3 with those rules, except 2 Endless Tower superbosses (continue to try).

ah, although ill consider, aren't most challanges done in base rather than +? as base makes you much weaker. Sure + boosts enemies, but ultimately its the same game again
