People beat God of War without upgrades.
People beat Mega Man without using anything other than the default booster and not getting any heal items
People beat FFIX with level 1 characters
Let's not even talk about the No Sphere Grid No Summon No Overdrive No Escape No No-Encounters No Blitzball No Customize Challenge from FFX.

Heck, people are beating every single game out there with the most varied of crazy setups and self handcaps.

if we go by your logic ("X person beat moogles using weathered gear! Stats doesn't matter!"), then every game out there is broken.


Yes, bad analogy is somewhat bad.
