My potion horde is proof that I didn't need them to beat the game. Ignore the numerous holes where I continuously bashed my head into the wall for hours because I refused to use my potions for something as trivial as a late game boss.
(/s for those who need it)
In total honesty this is exactly why I hoard that shit.
When I was a teen, many many moons ago, I played ff8. It was my first ff game. I used items whenever I needed them but never bothered stocking up because well.. meh.
And then I saved my game right before the end boss, in a location you can’t go back from.
My inventory had a handful of items; 2 phoenix downs, a handful of potions, and that’s about it.
I then proceeded to spend 172 hours trying the end boss over and over and over (roughly 3 weeks of all my free time), different strategies, different patterns, different starting lineups, the works.
And you know what? I beat that bitch. It would have been faster and easier to replay the entire game, but I’m not that smart so.
Ever since then I hoard as much as I can. Do I have 500,000,000 gold? Good, but I still won’t spend it if I don’t have to, other than to have full stacks of every consumable which I probably won’t use. There are games that I don’t use consumables at all, or only for the first couple of character levels..
Using the scroll of fireball I conveniently found after accepting the quest to defeat this overpowered boss?
I'm clearly meant to grind hard until I can beat him with my level 1 sword.
