Well, as the name says I have started my first FFX challenge. I have chosen a No Sphere Grid, Initial Equipment, No Zamnatos and No Customise challenge. I know it doesn't sound as difficult as others out there, but you have to start somewhere huh!

Well I have been playing for about 12 hours now (10 of them non stop, so have been up all night playing). I have made it to Mushroom Rock, where the level of difficulty has jumped waaay up, even Auron cannot withstand the might of some of these enemies, he was the first one to fall. Since I have IE rule on, I cannot equip any equipment that will nullify fire, so it will be one hell of a journey, but I have Ifrit which will help along the way.

So far, the hardest enemy has been Chocobo Eater, which almost pushed me off the cliff, but by luck I managed to overdrives by Valefor, and then Auron had the finishing blow. It will be along journey. I will keep you all posted once I get past Mushroom Rock.
