Has anything changed with GBA emulators over the last couple years? I always used VBA, but now there's mGBA too. Any real reason to use 1 over the other?

I'm partial to BizHawk myself since it has some nice recording options and various other stuff, though it's kinda overkill for someone who just wants to enjoy the Fiesta. The VBA forks are pretty good, I don't like native VBA just because there's audio desync whenever I record video for it, but otherwise any emulator should be fine for casual play and taking screenshots, including regular VBA. Just pick what you like. Anyway, a friendly reminder that The Run starts in <30 minutes. Feel free to join us in Discord if you haven't, it's always a fun experience watching it with other FF5 fans!

Samuel Clemens posted:RK doesn't even like people playing on emulators, but he also realises that the FJF community is far too small to splinter it further by arbitrarily policing playstyles. Which is good because I'm pretty sure the event would have died out a long time ago otherwise. Yeah, for a lot of people the only non-emu version they could easily get would be the matrix version, and I definitely would not be playing as much if that was my only option.

 $1 for each unique (not default or even Cactuar since that's become common) NED sprite submitted for victory. This is per each replacement option per person. So I'll only accept 1 Neo X Death, Yiazmat, etc victory shot per person. I want to see a variety! Max of $75?

What is the preferred platform to play FFV on these days? Is it GBA, or SNES, or something else? Is there a switch version maybe?

If you're talking about actual hardware, the Matrix version (available for PC, Android & iOS) is pretty much your only option. The GBA cartridges are very expensive (if you can even find one that's not a pirated copy) and the SNES version never even had an official release in the West. If you're okay with emulation, both SNES and GBA work fine. The latter is generally preferred due to extra content, a good translation, more mods, and a few quality of life options (notably the ability to sprint without having a Thief).

SNES has Project Demi, which skips cutscenes by default and allows you to have the ability for innate dashing and the like. I haven't really had much luck with decent audio from GBA, even with some patches, so SNES is pretty much required for my ears. Also, pretty excited for this to be my first official 4JF! I used the rules to do my first playthroughs of the game last year and really enjoyed it! Hoping gilgabot throws something fun at me with random.

30.5 Days posted:Is the matrix version.... good? Depends. It brings quite a few changes, some welcome (Power Drinks actually work now) some contentious (lots of exploits got fixed, a few other powerful strategies were also changed for some reason) and the redone artwork has both admirers and detractors. Since it's not emulated you can't change the game speed, which mostly matters if you're planning to do a lot of runs or get stuck with something unholy like four Berserkers. Overall I think people overstate the differences. The Matrix version is absolutely fine for a casual playthrough and most Fiesta teams. It's really only a few edge cases where GBA ends up being much more beneficial.

Got a couple of Toxxes this year for the people who are interested! I'll be donating $2 for every boss that's defeated with the power of !Gaia. Just for the hell of it, i'll make it $6 every time someone beats Omniscient with Gaia as well. Screenshot/Gif of the boss getting destroyed is all the proof I'll need. Toxx cap: $100 For NED, I'll be donating $2 for every downed party member when Neo Ex-Death is defeated. (i.e. if Butz is the only party member standing when NED is defeated, I'll donate $6. Or if you have two members standing I'll donate $4, or $2 if you have three party members standing). Toxx cap: $100

Also SE literally just announced a remaster of FF1-6 a few minutes ago, if you're willing to wait (and miss out on Fiesta you coward)

Yagamoth finished the run at 6:20. Congrats to him! Dragondarch and eLmaGus are currently doing Treedeath. Bowie...is a bit further behind.

gently caress the chicken knife. But also gently caress the brave blade. 10 dollars for each person (up to 5) who gets a max power brave blade (or zero power chicken knife I suppose) and then !Throws it at either the gargoyles in front of the Pyramid or Melusine.

The teaser had FFI & II look like the PS1 ports, while FFIV is like the GBA version graphically.

Actually looking closely, the sprites for 5 and 6 look like the Matrix ones but pixel-y instead of blobby.

Yeah, they’re very obviously the new sprites but pixelated instead.

Like my problem isn’t that it’s not pixelated, it’s that the sprites look better in the semi-3/4 view of the SNES version. It’s just weird-looking art and pixelating it doesn’t help, I do not understand why they’re doing this.

Someone in the main FF thread posted pictures of a pixel art book, probably the same sprites.That loving Sned posted:They don't even look that bad without the smoothing filter, my only problems are the pastel colours and how they're all perched on one leg like a flamingo.

In light of the FF: Origins trailer, I'll donate $1, up to $25, for every Buttz named CHAOS. Quote this post with a screenshot of CHAOS. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntQ-utIdWWE
