Simply Simon posted:Ya I know I can triple super easy Heh, my second run was a Fifth Job run where I lost Berserker and gained Summoner (so I basically I only had Berserker for the exact stretch of time is it at its most useful, and replaced it with Summoner right around the time it moves from "good" to "I destroy everything"). I almost certainly won't finish this before the deadline but it's been a fun run regardless.

Finally gotta admit to myself I'm not finishing that second run. In hindsight, deciding to do my second run on a ROM after doing my first on an actual GBA cart was a bad move, because my desk is an ergonomic nightmare and I just couldn't find a comfortable way to play. Hopefully that'll be fixed by next year!

Hopefully that'll be fixed by next year! Not a perfect solution, but the emulator (on Android) that I used syncs itself with Dropbox. So I could play on my downtime at work on my phone, or load up the appropriate software on my computer at home. The system worked great for me. The emulator was JohnGBA.

Finished my 17th run of the season just in the nick of time. I'm going to miss Fiesta. It is truly the most wonderful time of the year.

Close to finishing my run, I kinda got a boringly strong party (BLU/NIN/CHM/ORA) and got bored and put it off a while. I could probably make a run for the void right from the pyramid, but I think I want to go get some World 3 stuff first. But I don't know what World 3 stuff, because it's a Forbidden run. Am I allowed to / is it against the spirit of the thing for me to do my Void tweet now, and then not actually head straight to the void, just to know if I need to get Blue Magic or Chemist Ingredients or Scrolls or what?

I did exactly that because grinding for stuff you don't actually need is just dumb. Also, you could always go into the void to grab stuff or grind or whatever and use that possibility as an excuse...

Welp, one answer agreeing with what I wanted to do anyways is good enough, I've gotta get this done. Ninja, noooo. I guess Read Ahead is a decent substitute for Smoke.

poo poo, I was planning on using the 3x reflect ring strat for Omega but I forgot to hold on to a set of diamond gear. Probably should have kept some sage surplices too. I've got enough time to walk back out of the rift, but do I really want to? E: Wait, I don't have a heavy armor or shield job, so I can only equip one piece anyway. gently caress it, Omega gets to live.

Nevermind, it was the specific card that was the problem. The best part about finally getting the sub-minute time myself is that I finally stopped caring about how long I took to sail to Crescent.

 Done with my second run! I did an Extra Spicy run last year, and the main thing I took away is that no750 jobs tend to do fine regardless of what the randomizer gave them since most of their power is in their equipment, so I wanted to get a sense of how 750 jobs fare since they're very reliant on a good ability with a random 750 run (Black Mage/Time Mage/White Mage/Geomancer).Turns out it's very variable. Faris, for example, had !Iainuki as a Black Mage, which while useful for handling random encounters, made her a dead weight in many boss battles. Lenna's Geomancer similarly had !Control, another skill useless against bosses. On the flip side, Bartz got !Zeninage, which isn't exactly a random encounter friendly skill without lots of money. The other problem with the randomizer currently is that the skill trees are too expensive, I ended up not getting many useful skills from training and relied mainly on the innate skills to beat the game. Thankfully one of those innate skills was !Mix, which gave me one of the lowest level fiestas ever: Leaving World 1 at level 12/13, World 2 at ~level 17-18 and beating Exdeath at level 22. I did most of the run on the last two days, so I blitzed through the game, barely picking anything up and even fighting Exdeath with only two Hermes Sandals. If my jobs hadn't gotten mix I probably would have been forced to grind out a lot of AP to get useful skills, so that's something to fix for the randomizer next year!

I hope next year we can get a #GBA modifier, including the Necromancer. Or if RK really wants to avoid cheating in jobs for assigned jobs, make Necromancer job fair only.

 Man, saved by time zone differences. Obviously way late for Exodia; also had to do Exdeath twice because the my screencap hosed up. Could go for the Triple Crown with BLU/CHM/ORA, but I really don't feel like it.

I ended up doing 6 runs, which felt nice. I'm not burnt out like I have the past few summers and kind of wish I could do another. Mid-summer got too packed and I didn't have as much weekend time as I would have liked. Can't wait for the next one!
