EBF5 No Skills Challenge

CoolZeb·4/25/2019 in The Games

In Epic Battle Fantasy 5, if you progress through the Wild Tropics and up to the entrance to the Grand Gallery, the NPC, Tandalf, has some interesting dialogue for you. He says that you should level up your skills and Matt makes some sarcastic commentary about not leveling any skills just in spite of Tandalf. This got me thinking. Is it theoretically possible to beat the game any% without leveling up your skills? Or is this a ridiculous fantasy?

I think I'll try doing my own playthrough of the game without leveling any skills, on Zero difficulty of course. Let me know what you think!

It's possible to beat the game on Zero difficulty with only NORMAL ATTACKS and no limit breaks or skills, leveled or not. If you want an actual challenge, do so on Normal. Epic might be a bit much, but with enough grinding I imagine its feasible; that's veering towards 4 White Mage territory though.

So, do it on Normal. See what happens.

You may want to give yourself a slight upper hand by allowing random summons between turns and unleashed skills, but hey, you do you man.

On another note, you always got throwing items to back you up. :)
