The biggest restriction I wanted to showcase in this video is No Lock On because it's something I like trying and I find it interesting to see where the game can take you if you attempt a leap of faith. Turns out the game is actually pretty good at having Sora track to singular nearby enemies despite not having the soft target reticle on them, so you can actually pull of some slick Slide Dashes without locking on.

The No Reaction Command restriction can put you in a nasty situation if you're unlucky and especially not careful with how you handle the dark orbs after phase 1 as Sephiroth really likes to lunge at you after using the dark orbs a lot, sometimes requiring a Reflect spam session or brealing the rules of the restriction. Thankfully I was lucky enough to not have that happen here.

I decided to throw the No Scan restriction for shit and giggles. Nothing more than that. I actually found it kind of relieving to not be focused on his HP and how far away from ending the fight I am at any point but I'm a weirdo.
