Sounds like an interesting challenge, but I've never played V. How hard of a game is it, because I might use this as an excuse to get it.

TBH I wouldn't recommend playing through that way for your first runthrough. I mean, in my opinion the job system is the only thing FFV has going for it. Would you play through final fantasy tactics with only 4 jobs?

Anyone interested in checking out how FFV plays should give Dr Pepper's low-level Let's Play a read. He abuses the gently caress out of the game mechanics and manages to steamroll most bosses even though his party is at levels 5/4/4/4 at the end of the game.

I've beaten FFT using only a single class for all four characters, and done so for most of the classes.I would do this, but I feel like I just completed my last four job fiesta (I think I missed the actual event last year). Then again, maybe it was a year ago, and time just flies when you're old. I also have a backlog of unplayed games, so yeah. Also also, I only have the cruddy PSX version.

I suggest having the best of both worlds; You've got over 2 weeks until the Fiesta officially starts. Boot up the game and play through it like a legit first-time player would. Switch jobs around, get a feel of each job and their roles in battle, find your favorites, all that jazz. Then when the Fiesta rolls around, you can start up a new game and dive into the challenge!  By that point you'll atleast have a base knowledge of the way the game works.Fungah! posted:Regged for hard mode.

Wow, you certainly seem to have some strong, cutting-edge opinions about Twitter and the people suggesting you use Twitter to make a single post! It's too bad I hadn't beaten FFV yet (still working on FFII), otherwise I'd be interested in doing this. This better be up again next year, because I'm diving in!

I registered for Hard Mode earlier, and I'll probably end up doing it on the PSX version, since I kinda want to see if the translation's as hilariously awful as I remember (Salsa for a character name immediately springs to mind). Besides, the way I see it adding the menu lag will add extra "challenge" that'll otherwise be lacking. I don't think any party that I'll get rolled will be as annoying or difficult as a Berserker SCC

Yeah your first job unlocks on the 17th. If you wanna get started you could play up to the wind crystal since you're stuck using the freelancer anyway.

This is pretty much how I always play FFV. Except I use a ruleset that I found on gamefaqs a few years ago. I currently have a game going with a monk, a black mage, a dancer, and a bard

Are save-states and emulator fast-forward allowed?Mega64 posted:You can bet I'll be using fast-forward through the cutscenes. But then you'll be missing out on all the superfluous nodding characters do! How else will you be able to enjoy the game, if you don't see the party nodding at Cid and Mid every few seconds?

Never played FFV before, and the only Final Fantasy I actually completed was the dreadful FF8. But I did just read a Let's Play where the game was beaten at level 5, surely I could handle a regular Four Job Fiesta run.

That hack site has a spreadsheet which has the Dark Arts locations on it, but I'm not sure if those are the original ones or new ones.  http://www.jeffludwig.com/downloads/thank-you.php?tag=ff5a-custom-classes-info-xls Recycling Centerpiece fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Jun 2, 2012 |

Pablo Gigante posted:You can play the PSX version as a PSOne Classic on PSP but it has pretty bad load times and a lovely translation. The GBA version is considered the best since it has updated graphics, a new translation and a post-game dungeon/jobs. Did they ever fix the PSX emulation resulting in scrambled menu screens when saving?

I think I'll sign up for this despite never making it to the end of Final Fantasy V before. I take it that the GBA-exclusive classes are all off limits?
