I'm not used to using fast forward, but I'm ok with how it turned out. I used a buttload of potions vs garula, w2 exdeath I should have gone for !gaia and ran out of phoenix downs but somehow pulled through. Rare steals suck but the lamia tiara was worth it (on the way to the boss I got a second which let me geodance for bit too). I lost twenty minutes forgetting the lamp entirely, skipped flare sword and never turned in even my one tablet. Somewhat satisfied with the result, although this party is paper-thin enough that I did a bit more grinding than I really needed, ofc.





Good Job everyone :toot:

Just banning certain jobs doesn't seem like enough. I wonder if certain equipment/spells are banned or what?

It's okay if you have any questions.


My first thought on reading that tweet is that if you sign up for forbidden mode, then there are certain jobs that you're not going to get in any run this year.

For each goon who finishes an official fiesta run before I do, I will donate $10, up to $750. To my disadvantage, this is likely to be among my busiest work weeks of the year. Limit two runs per goon.

THE RUN is live and can be found here:

I thought the festivities were going to start tomorrow so this is a welcome thing. Are jobs getting sent out after the run concludes?

Typically, yes. Depending on the time, it could take up to an hour or so for the floodgates to be opened, then the usually flurry of lag and Twitter restrictions before everything is sussed out. AFAIK, RK is in Japan and so his hours are weird. Its entirely possible he would be asleep by the time the run finishes.

According to his twitter, RK went to bed right before the run started, in hopes that he could wake up when it's done and press the Gilgabutton

If you absolutely had to wipe to something in world one, Manticore wouldn't be the absolute worst choice you could make....

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

If I remember right the Fiesta patch does some balance tweaks on top of unlocking all classes from the start and Ned's sprite. Anyone have a list?

That's a separate patch by the same author.

Changelog here:

CanOfWorms, my friend was going on about how Red Mage should have access to Shields, not necessarily White/Black 4.

I had two people with Magic Shell split the damage and a MK kill them with Drain Sword while the Geo just chain optioned, which I was pretty proud of.

Then I noticed my character wasn’t named right ughhhh

DD was the only one not to wipe to the Crystals.

Of course it also took him like ten minutes to beat it but hey, it's still impressive.

I looked at discord time stamps, and I think DD's one try took roughly the same as magus' three tries, so a wash i guess.

Since we're well into the run, closing my strawpoll now so I can pre-register.

I will be running Forbidden, and have toxxed that I will finish it. Once I complete it, I will also begin purechaos. If I complete PureChaos, I will attempt either regularchaos or FF1 (chosen depending on how much I hate myself, and whether I feel at the moment like my chaos jobs could end up too similar to my purechaos jobs).


edit: Considering streaming my attempt so people can view me being terrible at the game, forgetting I'm streaming and afking for long stretches, and randomly remembering whether I have a mic on or not. What's the current recommended stream software for twitch streaming?

I tuned into The Run stream and found elmagus and Yagamoth were both farting around in Mirage while DD was just taking on Antlion.

I can only assume that what happened to Dragondarch's progress is Dragondarch :allears:

Huh, it never occurred to me that you could skip turning in the first tablet. Isn't the first visit to the sealed castle what triggers the cutscene of Exdeath talking to the monsters in the rift? What happens if you get all four tablets without turning them in, go all the way to Necrophobe, then back out of the rift and go to the castle for the first time?

The runners just did that. Turns out the Exdeath cutscene doesn't play if you pick up all four tablets before unlocking any of the sealed weapons.

Though if I remember right, if you kill some of the tablet bosses, but not all of them, the cutscene does play with the dead tablet bosses missing. I dont think you can do the same with rift bosses.
