I use Enkibot every Fiesta. And I'm glad it now has support for the GBA Jobs, because I always do at least 1 #Advance run.

I've done this a few times, always on my GBA copy, and I'm looking forward to trying it on SNES this year. Is there a recommended translation/patch pack for the Super Famicom version of the game? I want it as close to launch as possible, but if there is a version that fixes egregious bugs that is fine. I'm not interested in anything trying to backport the GBA jobs to the SFC version.

I am suuuuuper close to making some sorta overlay for my Fiesta run that hooks into Bizhawk and shows each character's current job. Something like this: It might be far too much effort for just the Fiesta, but I'm curious. I'm sure Bizhawk lets you write scripts that check in-game memory, it won't be that bad! The worst part is that I have to break these spritesheets down by hand.  don't ask why krile's so small

Pollyanna posted:I love FFV,but I never got terribly deep into it’s mechanics or anything. Is it worth reading up on Fiesta-adjacent material to get a better handle on what I can do, or should I just wing it? Others have given advice but here's how I became overly knowledgeable of this game: Joined the discord Saw others questions answered and asked my own questions Delved into the info as needed per run Samuel Clemens posted: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. Not only did Matrix fix this, berserk essentially speeds up how fast you attack even compared to auto battle (and bosses too, ouch). It's like a mini haste. Sidenote: between that and the actual haste, Ive never beaten Zerked Omega. Id rather deal with his normal bullshit.

I played the Fiesta for the first time last year, and I was stunned at just how unfair Blue Mage felt. I expected unusual spells that were more effective than their conventional alternatives. I did not expect to just instantly beat every W2 boss.

FFV comes from that magical time when selling strategy guides was still a viable business venture, which meant developers had a big incentive to make incredibly powerful classes with very obscure mechanics. Gau from FFVI is another fun example.

I wish !Blue included Learning so that you didn't have to actually use blue mage as a class and the likes. I've kinda got my party to a better level now (this is my first time playing). I'm up to the last town in world 1 and currently running: Lvl 1 Ranger with level 6 Spellblade LVL 3 BLACK Mage with Learning Level 1 bard with level 3 White Level 4 ninja with Animal because I didn't plan this out good. I'd like to fit Blue magic in somewheres so I can actually use the magic in learning, or do something with that ninja. Spellblade seems kinda lame also, mostly due to never really needing to use it. Don't really have a plan long term except I'll probably run the Ranger/Spellblade/Ninja gimmick thing for the first character. No idea what to do with the rest in terms of being OP.

So, can we make a petition or something to start the Fiesta at the same time as The Run? I love watching The Run but waiting 8-12 hours to start getting my jobs is torture every year.

The Job Fair, however, is 100% manual. (Obviously only an issue player-side if you asked for a random reroll rather than something specific.)

It's usually like 10hours if it's a rough comp or real bad luck, 8ish normally. Last year might have been a long one but they changed the job choices to basically top 4 jobs instead of just top per crystal to avoid a much slower comp. (The Run was Monk/Geo/Dnc/Sam when under normal rules it would have been Monk/Red/Geo/Dnc)

Yeah that's a pretty beast comp. Lot of raw power on top the Blu shenanigans and the bard can even boost the zerker's damage (plus giving the zerker !black for stronger Rune axe is totally an option)

Dragondarch still has the chance to put on his clown hat. And go for three days straight without sleep prior to the run  For as much as we make a running joke out of his antics, it was genuinely heartbreaking to see him lose his mind 85% of the way through and spend nearly an hour searching for a Dragon Fang that he'd already looted and used.

I think this year I'm gonna do a No 750 run; I've gotten Blue mage the past 3 runs I've done and as much fun as it is breaking World 2 over my knee, it might also be nice to see what the other classes can actually do.

There are some niche situations where knowing your classes in advance can impact your gameplay (e.g. if you know you'll get a Dancer and already have a Thief, it makes sense to try and steal a Lamia's Tiara in Ronka Ruins), but those are very rare. Unlocking everything at the beginning is less about gaining an advantage and more about satisfying your curiosity or going faster since you don't have to stop playing to visit Twitter. I think it's kind of nice to experience that tingle of anticipation at every crystal ("Will I get Berserker or Summoner?"), but that's neither here nor there.

Yeah I prefer the mystery but there's not too many cases where it matters and I tend to grab all the early "just in case" stuff anyway (like killing liquid flame on the right form for the bow). No shame in doing it but on #reg you'll probably be fine anyway. Could see how on #chaos it could be useful to know early if you're going to have to deal with some terrible nonsense like turtle with only bard or something that's really going to need to grind for byblos. Also means for a resource like Enkibot you can just shove in only the needed jobs from the start and not be overwhelmed by extra info.
