Challenging Yourself, Making it harder for fun! ^_^ Options

When I was in middle school, I was an avid fan of Pikmin.
I played Pikmin 2, and I tried beating the game without losing a single Pikmin. In a matter of a few days and spending half a night (from around 9:00 pm to 4:00 am) and A LOT of restarting my GameCube, I was able to complete it without losing a single Pikmin. The cool thing was they showed you your Pikmin statistics and overall stuff at the end of the game, allowing me to double check to see if I really didn't lose any Pikmin. Turns out I didn't, and I celebrated by going YAY in my head.
I've tried doing it on the first Pikmin, but it was just too damn hard. I'd lose tons of little Pikmin on bosses and DAMN WOLLYWOGS. Also, I had a glitched version of Pikmin where sometimes if I kill a Bulborb, 3 to 5 of my Pikmin would just disappear and they'd count as deaths. Like wtf.

So, I've been thinking of playing Castlevania Aria of Sorrow with only using a gun and the grenade soul. [not including using other souls when I NEED to (to progress in the game)]

Hmm im fearful about this lol, I dont like limitations or handcaps but what I have done is play FF tactices for PS 1 without having any deaths where your guys turn into crystals, steal every rare item from every enemy, and invite every enemy from every battle besides bosses of course. an example you ask lol, Remember the fight with the maquris elmodor when he has ALL genji gear, yeah I had to use a ninja with steal equiped with a cantage that makes them always have reraise on them permantly, and with as low as a 9% steal chance for each item you can guess how hard it was and how many deaths it took to get ALL his armor lol, lets see someone top that!

You're banned so you probably won't read this, but to steal Elmdor's Genji equipment and Masamune, equip Concentrate to raise Stealing chance and lower his Bravery to cancel Blade Grasp. If the thief's Zodiac compatibility is good you can raise the steal chance to 25%... If it's neutral, you should be around 14-18%.
And if you Speed Break him it isn't really a challenge...

I am reading this and OMG lol, I thought I was a master of FFT but you just blew my mind lol, I had no idea consentrate could help with stealing, and I never used spd break cause that would involve sending another char and I only had 1 chantage to use on a char, had no idea about the bravery either, but once again that would involve another char. Thats a very interesting way though, it makes me want to play it again, but ever since the remake i just cant play it.

Shouldn't you be in trouble for having duplicate accounts then?

I remember I used to play and beat Pokémon games while training only one Pokémon. I've done this for two games: Fire Red and Sapphire. On Sapphire, I chose Treeko (Treecko, however you spell it) and by the time I got to the Pokémon League he was a Sceptile whose level was somewhere between the mid-60s to low-70s. Same thing with Fire Red. I had me a Bulbasaur. Now, Fire Red was easier because I was able to defeat fire and flying and poison type Pokémon by spamming Sleep Powder and using Cut. Sapphire, however, I had to spam Cut since Sceptile never learned Sleep Powder.

Not at all, you can do all with the thief who has the Chantage equipped. Use a Thief instead of the Ninja, and put Concentrate as a support skill. Then, as the second skillset, put Talk Skill (the Mediator skillset) with Threaten to lower Brave. To avoid dying, you can also put HP Restore as a reaction skill.
Speed Break or Mind Break would require another char, though, but it's kinda optional. It's just to avoid Elmdor to attack too often and deal too much damage.

Another FFT challenge: in Deep Dungeon, facing Elidibs, ALL of your 5 characters must learn Zodiac in ONE run. Meaning all of them are summoners, they all are targeted by Zodiac and they all survive - and learn it.
I have a few challenges for the 1.3 patch too if you're interested.

A classic one for FF9: Try to get Excalibur 2 with a Lv1 Zidane. I tried 3-4 times and always failed lol. If you take 9 hours to reach Terra, you're pretty much screwed.
There are people who also try to beat Ozma at level 1 while getting Excalibur 2 but I'm not that hardcore.

I always thought only one person could learn that sommon lol, I just made sure it was ramza, hmm that is a strange challange, by 1.3 patch do you mean the psp version? and I never really brothered with the FF9 challanges cause that game was bad i think, and it was also the first time I belive that soney came out with its first FAKE stragey guide, I bought it and guess what was inside, "want to know the secerts of how to get this item, go to soney online." I got robed! they sold out! I paid money for a guide and they screwed me. sry went off on a rant. to put back on track. Vandal hearts 1, when you fight the red armor imperial guard in the city, when your sopposed to run away, do so without losing a single char, I couldnt do it but i took alot of those guys with me lol.
