Yeah, there's no invalid version for the runs (as long as you can take pictures, my early ones back in the day were bad photos of my GBA that I figure only counted as verification because it's for charity. Not phone pictures, I had a cheap digital camera that came free with my computer. All the customization and image preview of a travel film camera (sub-paranthetical, do they still make those?) just instead of mailing it in you get to find where you put the proprietary-yo-usb cable.) just a few changes between versions that mean some tricks may not work.

The main thing I'd say is that emulators can be a godsend if you want to do tons of runs because the opening sequence alone takes a million years.

Alright, time for me to bust out a  DONATION PLEDGE I will donate 5$, up to 50$ (unless I find more money in the seat cushions when I move next week) for every goon who triple-crowns without Time Mage, Chemist, Bard or Beastmaster. As far as I understand, those are the most effective options for crazy boss shenanigans. I know there are others, and I don't want this to be completely impossible, just no playing with the super broken stuff. I'm happy to donate for anyone who is willing to go through a bit of extra hassle. Please provide screenshots of your full party with their equipped jobs and kill screens for the bosses! Extra thumbs up from me if you give a quick rundown of how you beat the bosses. Godspeed. For a good cause!

How likely is it for berserker risk to net somebody multiple berserkers? Has anyone ever done it and got only one or zero?

Some Guy TT posted:How likely is it for berserker risk to net somebody multiple berserkers? Has anyone ever done it and got only one or zero? It depends entirely on how much money gets donated before the Fiesta starts. Last year I risked and only got one. Edit: To clarify: Berserker Risk adds a number of berserkers to the pool based on how much money is donated during preregistration divided by a number based on the number of people who sign up. (I think it was $10 in previous years?) Those berserkers get handed out to people who do a risk. A lot of money means a lot of berserkers.

You can't stunlock Omega with beastmaster, magic underflow zerk, or keep immunities from unequipped items. None of these stop you from beating the game in the multitude of broken ways built into the game. I'll take Lamping the rugwizard, closest target zerks, and auto battle over those any day of the week.

I'm not saying it doesn't, but it's pros and cons instead of a unilateral worse like a lot of people like to present it. The gist is that gba/snes have potentially extremely powerful but very situational options. iOS gets rid of some those but adds things that are less powerful but less situational. And I very much disagree with omniscient being harder, you need only a couple attack actions +lamp to beat him. Vs grinding away hitting yourself with mage Mashers forever.

I didn’t write that guide for it to be used in anti-Matrix propaganda  I’m mostly joking; for the record, I would argue that the mobile/steam version is overall more difficult, but in different and interesting ways. Sure you lose a lot of the cheesier tactics, but I’m several years in now and I’m still learning new things (Berserker auto targeting, Dancing Dagger/Twin Lance, apparently you can Magic Lamp the Rugwizard?) which when you’re playing a 20+ year old game for the umpteenth time isn’t nothing.

Yeah, either two or three years ago there were some big donations and so many berserkers got distributed that riskers with two or three berserkers were quite common. Ah, good memories of Tri-Zerkers plus one Dragoon that year.

Ah, good memories of Tri-Zerkers plus one Dragoon that year. Of course, that resulted in a change of the risk logic so that won't happen again (Money per zerk is now decided at the start of the fiesta based on number of riskers vs donation total), so fortunately (unfortunately?) Tri-zerk is decidedly unlikely, and quad-zerk is probably safely impossible.

agradine posted:I didn’t write that guide for it to be used in anti-Matrix propaganda My biggest beef is that you apparently lose the only real way to access Holy if you only rolled White Mage for magic classes in the Fiesta. Unlike Black Mage and Flare, a White Mage really, really wants Holy around, but if you can't Berserk Rugwizard to stop his Resets, a White Mage has no reliable way of beating him, being forced to lean back on incredibly inaccurate Silence casts and dropping physical attacks in the milliseconds he stays silenced.

Maybe Boko or maybe I just imagined it. Incientally that was a pseudo fiesta run. For the real thing I can't decide whether to berserker risk or not. That every class challenge sounds fun and I'm also worried about the difficulty curve. My pseudo run was Black Mage Time Mage Ninja Summoner which struck me as one of the easier possible combinations.

In the past four years, I've never gotten more than one Berserker even with Berserkerrisk, but then my first run is always a normal run, and I guess those only hand out Zerks at the Water Crystal. Zero shouldn't happen though.

KataraniSword posted:My biggest beef is that you apparently lose the only real way to access Holy if you only rolled White Mage for magic classes in the Fiesta. I have always felt like it's pretty rare to really need Holy--it's pretty rare to have a combination of classes that has White and not even the modicum of offense required to get by when you have infinite healing and damage mitigation. But you only ("only") need to do 13000 damage to him to get him to the point where he'll kill himself with level 3 elemental spells, so you do have a few options for high damage things in the very small Reflect window. Having two other party members queued up with Zeninages can do it in combination with the Lamp. I've done that before, although I remember using a really high speed and naked Thief who I got to throw twice in the window. I've also always wanted to get White and Monk and see if I could Berserk him and try to Counter him to death.

So I guess it's time for my donation pledge! Since my first time beating FFV was through the 4JF I'll donate $1 per person (max $20)who also has their first run of FFV through the fiesta! May be doubled later depending on my money situation. Funktastic fucked around with this message at 11:12 on Jun 6, 2019 |

You can beat Rug Wizard without berserk. You just need to uh, sit there for hours as he drains his mp with reflect rings. 9999 MP so it takes a long time but it's easy, just tedious. ChaseSP fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Jun 5, 2019 |

I'm far from one of you goofy FF5 Mechanics Wizards but it seems like whatever they had to do to change his Reset to let him cast it while Berserked would also let him cast it with no MP, i.e. it might not be a spell anymore. edit: although I guess that doesn't explain why he can't do it Silenced...
