And it made one-eighth the difference.


Run 1 (Pure Chaos)

Geomancer / Thief / Ninja / Knight

A decent start to the fiesta. Geomancer was pretty decent, though things got better once I got Ninja and Knight. Thief was...alright, as far as stealing goes. I only really made use of early Hi Potions, early Twin Lances, and getting some extra Enhancers (and cutting my Reflect Ring grind in half by stealing two from Carby). My end game was Geo with !Throw and Rune Bell, Thief with !Mug and Chicken Knife, Ninja with Equip Swords and two Enhancers, and Knight with Dual Wield and Excalibur/Enhancer.

Decently challenging at points, but only took two tries to take down NED at L33 thanks to a lucky Aegis block. Not too easy, not too hard. A nice run overall.

Well, screeching might be the wrong term. It's a scratchy sound like the audio is messed up in a few spots for the overworld music, and Fira sounds like someone blowing compressed air, it's too harsh and loud compared to the SNES sound effect. mGBA gives me the same sounds as VBA-m, unfortunately.

I’m hearing popping sounds myself. I’m not sure there’s really a fix. Next year, I’ll resort to the SNES patch! I’ve read in some places having a BIOS helps, but this doesn’t really make sense and I didn’t notice a difference anyway.

Incidentally, this is my first time playing FFV, and I’ve gotten some weird rear end jobs. Blue Mage, Summoner and now Beastmaster. All strong, I think, but also all bizarre. MVP has been Vampire, which is a nuts spell… though it did start missing recently.

Knight gives you someone under your control so you've got someone who can heal, and there are a few fights you can cheese with Cover/Guard. You'll probably still need to be overleveled for Sandworm, but you can also farm up elixirs and brute force it at a lower level than 4x zerker.

I'm adding another late toxx because gently caress it. $1 for every normal kill of the Tyrannosaur in the Moogle Cave, without exploiting its Undead status. That means no Phoenix Downs, no Healing Items, just a regular fight. The limit will be $25. Quote this or something of mine so it's easier to see, if you please.

Edit: It'll have to be the honor system unless you feel like recording the entire fight I guess.

Fire weakness is not inherently tied to Undead status.

Okay so I am stupid as hell and I might need this explained to me. You're supposed to just make a tweet to start this off, and the bot replies to it with your classes? I went to the website and there's a generator on the main page, so I selected "I want to play an [Advance Run] with [All Jobs] and [no restrictions]" and clicked Submit, and it opened up my Twitter account with a fresh tweet that said "@ff5forfutures #regAdvance". But I've been waiting almost ten minutes now and he hasn't responded to the tweet, and from the bot's Tweets and Replies tab it looks like he's responded to a few people since I made the tweet. Did I do something wrong or has something just gone wrong? (And why the hell isn't this just a website function?)

e: continuing my stupidity, there are actually just buttons on my profile page on the fiesta website. I got Blue Mage/Ninja/Chemist/Cannoneer. I don't know what the Cannoneer does but that seems like a pretty good party, yeah?

Blue Mage is the second most broken job in the game. Chemist is the first. Enjoy your triple crown.

You have chemist, you win. Everything else is secondary (though, yes, blue mage and ninja are also good classes).

Bear in mind that unless you're using the fiesta mod, you won't get ninja, chemist, or cannoneer when you 'unlock' them due to how advance works. Ninja is a fire job, chemist is an earth job, and you don't get cannonneer until you get all 12 legendary weapons.

4zerk run just got past sandworm. Took about 20 tries at level 45. Was going to give up and go back and grind to 50 on mini dragons when I got a lucky one in. I immediately went out saved tented then went back to the library and healed at the pot, then saved in a second slot, then copied my save as a backup, before continuing.

I've done this before, so I feel it's all downhill from here. I might even grind enough to try to get Shinryu. I don't think Omega is doable but I bet you can brute force Shin. I also haven't run away yet so I can go for the 0 power chicken knife.

I have two :toxx:es of my own as well.

1) :toxx: challenge $30 donated for anyone else who completes a 4 zerk run. $40 for a double crown and $60 for any triple crown 4 zerk run, to a maximum of $600
You can just show me your #victory screenshot / link me to your run page (and show me screenshots of any optional boss kills). This one's retroactive so anyone who has ALREADY completed a 4 zerk run can go ahead and let me know and I'll make it happen.

2) :toxx: challenge I will donate $20 to a maximum of $600 for proof of your geomancer hitting Exdeath with Gaia's Bell. Show me your geomancer with it equipped and a pic of the attack and we're golden.

Still having trouble with Archaeoaevis with BLM/MYS/BST. Tip in discord was to release a Ronkan Knight and then an Aegir but I tried that three times and it didn't seem to do a whole lot. Did I just get terrible luck with applying the debuffs?

Would help if the game would stop throwing Ghidra at me on the walk down to the boss, gently caress that thing.

Make absolutely sure nothing else hits it aside from those two moves. The Ronkan Knight needs to almost but not quite kill the first form, then Aegir's sap effect has to finish the job, bypassing the other four forms.

Yeah, the Ronkan Knight should do something in the range of like 1550 damage or so, and the sap from Rainbow Wind finishes the last 50 HP.

If I do nothing he continues to cast massive spells on me and does not die, if I continue to fight it doesn't even seem like the phase has progressed very far, and he does not die.

Edit: Ah does sap SPECIFICALLY have to hit in phase 1?

Edit: Alright, the correct move was to do NOTHING (defend) except the cheese move to gently caress with the game phase logic. gently caress me. Thanks guys.

Well it's more a matter of if he dies to the sap in any given phase, the fight immediately ends, because you can't counter (which a React: Death script is) dying to sap damage (or a counter-attack).

The Ronkan Knight does juuuust enough to make the sap lethal.

So I'm :toxx:ing a $5 donation (up to $50) for the first ten people who finish their fiesta with two fuckin' Ragnaroks. Get the first from Shinryu, get the second from stealing it from Neo-Exdeath, and then take a picture during the NED fight of either both equipped or both in your item list to count.

Additionally, I will also donate $1 per relevant name that completes a run, per apophenium's toxx, up to a maximum of $50.

Also, this does not apply right now, but I am also reprising my end-of-Fiesta toxx based on stats that we rack up in Discord - for every rod broken (tracked with the .break command) and every person who hits the speed trap (tracked with the .trapped command), I am chipping in two cents a rod and ten cents a speed trap, up to a combined $100.

Also got this poo poo, I had to re-fight NED to pull it off because the first time around I failed to steal like 10 times, and I had to just say gently caress it and drop the Lamptetsuken.

The Agility (Swift) , Magic (No idea what its name is, I so rarely use it unless I'm clowning on Exdeath) , Level (Hero) , and Strength (Power?) Songs will have your Bard sing until they are struck with a physical attack. The relevant stat will continue to raise when singing.
