I hate FF5's Beastmaster costume. Also, I suggest removing that image for your sanity.

W.T. Fits posted:You have better options for armor and accessories than the Rainbow Dress and the Red Shoes, both of which basically only offer you Confusion immunity (Berserkers are innately immune to Confuse due to permanent Berserk status) and an increased chance of getting Sword Dance when using !Dance (which Berserkers can only do randomly if you give them the Dancing Dagger). Rainbow Dress actually has the same defense stat as Crystal Armor, the best buyable heavy armor in the game, at a fraction of the weight (and thus Agility penalty). If you're running more than one heavy armor user I'd almost suggest knifing up an extra dress for your zerk and letting the other heavy get the Genji Armor at the end. It's a moot point if your Zerk is the only heavy armor user or you don't want to thief knife things (there's a free Crystal Armor in the pyramid and the buyable ones almost immediately after) but it's still a consideration. That said, unlike Ribbons, it's a nice bonus because you already have the equip skill stapled on, not a reason to staple it on by itself. Red Shoes are useless even for Dancers because you have better footwear earlier. KataraniSword fucked around with this message at 05:13 on May 29, 2021 |

I still maintain that Equip Harps is probably the best thing to put on a Berserker, all things being considered.

ReWinter posted:After successfully fiesta-ing for the first time last year with a very easy team, I'd like to try some pure chaos shenanigans. Do people normally use the fiesta patch or just freelancer until whatever their first job is? And do you still add one job to your team per crystal or if you get ie BLM and WHM do you bring them both in at wind? Personally I play without the fiesta patch, and I only add one job per crystal. If I ever do the Advanced jobs again I'd do the fiesta patch though, because it's really annoying waiting for those to show up (mime is bad enough).

Exdeath 0.4.1 released, and I don't want to hear nothin' about the release notes. Also we got a new PAD patch but despite my size edit and the formation editor it's assuming classic left-NED position. I don't know what's up with that, so I'm seriously considering removing it in the next release. Also, because full-size replacers are doing things like…  …that, I'm going to decline full-size NEDs until we figure out what's going on. Doomtrain looks sweet, though.

 I don't know who said it, but this thread does feel like coming home again. In fact, this might've been the last thread I posted in since the last event! (Not for any real reason, less online time and more actually playing video games after multiple computer failures). Also, I have a stupid plan for this year and have already spent money towards it.  I can't wait to throw a bunch of effort at these toxxes, some of these new ones sound stupid in the best possible way. Also, I've already been playing not-Bravely Default here to prepare!  Totally not-Bravely Default. I think "Can't Run!" can be used for manipulating RNG but I don't remember if pausing does. I guess you could on non-SNES versions but you'd have to be psychic/reading values so it'd just be more randomness on a script w/o the benefits of the SNES version.

Pausing doesn't seem to, but I haven't tried running. I think it should manipulate it in fights where you can run since it needs to use a RNG value, I'll try to confirm if it does when you can't run. So far my 4 Earthbreaker setup is about 1/3 of the way through, lowest I've gotten Omega with this one is 27,999 which is worse than the 2 Earthbreaker 2 Zombie setup despite the fact it seems like I get more swings in with this setup.

"There are Cottages in Castle Tycoon." "There's a Great Sword in the moat." "There's a Hi-Potion and Dark Matter in the walls of the Island Shrine. (But why would you care?)" Gotta get that 100% treasure rating somehow.

So, after years of the Matrix version genuinely being the easiest to play, my friend bought me an old DS and the FFVA cart, so I'll be returning to the best version. Still, I enjoyed the Matrix version more than I thought I would, and it was a genuine joy to discover new possibilities in such an otherwise week-documented game. So here's my  I'll be donating $5 for every goon who posts a victory from the Matrix version (mobile or steam), up to a total if $50. I was additionally planning to throw in a bonus $10 if any goon found something new to add to my not-fully-definitive version difference list, but considering Nasgate just casually dropped several new things I never knew about, I'll be donating that $10 in their name.

I've been messing around with no$gba's debugger to understand what's actually happening during the fight but it is slow going because a lot of unrelated stuff happens during the fight, but if I could figure out exactly which RNG values for each character result in a hit maybe that would help? If Omega and the party have a constant speed and I know which RNG values each character would need to land a hit it may be something where I can figure out optimal values without running through them all. That is very ambitious though considering I haven't really looked at assembly since college

So I finally came up with an idea for a I want new people to suffer for whenever I decide to make "art" So I want you guys to encourage someone to play. Heck, even just get them to pre-register so that I can water the tree first. First pledge satisfied. But wait, there's more! 10 bucks per new player who clears NED. Limit $250 (they don't need to be in the original 50, just someone who has a clear player page but a star on their 2021 run.) e: Not limiting this to SA, so if you know anyone who just does twitter or whatever I'll honor them there as well. https://twitter.com/feyerbrandx/status/1399183494874648582 FeyerbrandX fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Jun 13, 2021 |

Jose Valasquez posted:This setup finished, still didn't make any more progress though. But I had a dream last night that I was checking in on the progress and just happened to turn on my monitor on the run that killed Omega, so that's almost the same. I can now manipulate what Omega is going to do for each of its RNG attacks, that was as simple as finding the right frame for when the game decides which attack is used and running through all the RNG options. Only one of the two RNG counters contributes to that and it is consistent throughout the fight. If I could eliminate the 4 player characters I could tell you exactly what Omega is going to do for each attack just based on the initial RNG seed. The player attacks are a bit more complicated. The algorithms docs say that first there's a roll 0 to 99 to determine if the enemy evades, then there's another 0 to 99 roll to determine if your attack hits, followed by some more rolls for damage. It isn't clear how that's actual implemented, but it isn't by using the RNG counter separately for each value. A simplified truth table for what's happening is code:So if they are two independent rolls then 0,0 and 1,1 should hit as well, but that's not the case. Since it isn't the case, I mapped out all 65536 combinations for one of Butz's attacks and then mapped them out again for another of his attacks. Unfortunately, it wasn't as simple as Omega's attacks and the two sets of attacks didn't match up. I'm not sure whether I started the script on a different frame or if there is some other source of RNG here, but if I can just figure out this last bit of the RNG I think I could tell you exactly which attacks will happen and whether they hit given initial RNG value. Unrelated fun fact that I've discovered: If you are paralyzed, asleep, or stopped your ATB counter doesn't change, but if you are stoned your ATB counter still changes but your turn is skipped.

Berserkers are also bugged and always go last in the first round, regardless of their Agility stat, which imo is one of their most annoying traits. That's one of the things the Matrix version fixed though, I believe.

Thinking of either job fairing Blue mage in a real early run if I don't get or doing a pre-fiesta run this week with Blu juest because I've been wanting for awhile to do a run where every boss is fought using the most obnoxious Blue Magic strat possible, but by the time I rolled Blu last year I was pretty burnt on doing more Fiesta.

Winging it's always fine although some combos can get kinda stonewalled at some bosses if you have a real low damage team (Byblos is a common world 1 wall for some teams). My main recommendation for resources is Enkibot, since you can filter out only the jobs you roll to keep from being overwhelmed by info that you might not need at the moment.
