Seijin Plays FFT - Geomancer SCC Part 7 : Just Kill Algus Next Time...
3Welcome to my Geomancer SCC. For more details, read the description in part 1. A recap can be found below the line.
This video is embarassing. Just... look at the video length.
I wanted to kill all enemies before killing the main boss, just like I did in all previous "kill this enemy" battles. However, this turned out to be a bad idea in this case. A lot of enemies could heal themselves, thus prolonging the battle tenfolds. Also, the wizards are very deadly with their spells.
I actually had multiple resets on this fight, because Ramza would always die very quickly. If it wasn't in a single spell (which can't be prevented unless I get a lucky silence with Elemental, or a lucky crit with a physical attack), then he'd be in such bad shape that he'd be unable to stick around and things went downhill afterwards. This combined with Algus' Auto Potion made it hard to just end the fight quickly.
Only twice out of all the attempts at beating this fight resulted in the nearest wizard going for Delita instead of Ramza, which made my survivability a lot more bearable and less luck-based.
I upload this video because it shows that I... beat the battle. But honestly, I think you may as well not watch it. My intent on killing all enemies before Algus makes this a painful video to watch, in my opinion. Rewatching it now as I type this makes me feel embarassed. Just skip to the next video ASAP. :p

This is not a "normal" playthrough. This playthrough only shows story battles. If you have never played this game, I suggest you don't watch these videos. If you want to watch a "regular" playthrough, I suggest you watch my friend Cendril89's playthrough here : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWimWng8q7JeIa3dTL48cZemfNIPgeppi
What is an "SCC"? It stands for Straight Character Challenge... no, wait, it stands for Single Class Challenge... Anyway, it involves playing through the game with Ramza + 4 generics, staying in the same class throughout the entire game, and without using *any* ability from *any* other class. Due to the nature of the challenge, it begins at Sweegy Woods (or Dorter Trade City if you want), because you cannot reach your desired class without grinding random battles at Mandalia Plains. Unless your desired class is squire or chemist, obviously.
Other rules for this challenge are the following :
-Special character (i.e. Orlandu) cannot be used, even in the correct SCC's class. Due to their higher-than-average stat growth, they'd have better stats than generics, and we don't want that. They can be recruited to take away their equipment, but should be swiftly booted out. Mustadio can be kept to have access to the endgame extra quests, but that is seen as against the rules to some people. I won't be doing that.
-Level caps are 20 for chapter 1, 35 for chapter 2, 50 for chapter 3 and 70 before entering Orbonne Monastery at the end of chapter 4.
-Guests can be any class, as they're not gonna stick around too much. I try not to make them OP (i.e. knight Delita with Auto Potion), usually keeping them in simple classes.
-No other dumb stuff. I think this covers any and all possible loopholes and abuses. This is a challenge run, after all. This includes the 9999 JP glitch, the weapon duplication glitch, etc. No save/load states are allowed (for people playing on emulator), either.
