I needed them anyway to get Gladiator so may as well add to the pile!

I also had a max Brave Blade as well with two classes that could benefit from knight swords, but forgot to screenshot and it's a bit of a pain getting them from the steamdeck.


Omega was haaaaard, I eventually lucked out and manage to get in 9 triple reflect thundagas but I probably made at least 30 attempts until I lucked out with a pre-emptive. Overlevelled as well since I kept the brave blade charged.


Shinryu was much easier. Power staff bonk from Mime, everyone swapping between phoenix down spam and !Finisher/Apollo Harp attacks


Finally NED wasn't too bad with all the AOE available to me.

Slight hiccup but not much I could have done about it, but my Mime and Freelancer had huge HP pools thanks to mastering Berserker and having their +25 Stamina carrying over. Gladiator Strength was higher so the carried over Attack power was at least legitimate. As penance, a new toxx with very specific conditions:

:toxx:

I couldn't help it!

10$ For every completion where your Mime and Freelancer gain a passive benefit from mastering a class you don't have access to by the end of the game.

This is possible if you have a mime or freelancer (Either through Meteor runs or Job fair) who take advantage of stats from a class that is removed from your list (Through Job fair, Fifth Job, Extra Jobs, Forbidden, or any other methods i'm forgetting)

Generally meaning for this to be for stat bonuses gained by mastering a class, but can also apply to passive abilities too like Thief or Geomancer map abilities. Not counting active abilities because you shouldn't be using those anyway. Basically anything that you gain in mime or freelancer that you have no control over.

Giving 20$ for myself but opening up another 5 slots for up to 50$ on top.

This is less of a challenge toxx and more of a penance. Also amazing luck to have both Mime and Freelancer in a meteor run!

Run #1 - Typhoon BERSERKER RISK! (but no Berserker :smith:) - Knight / White Mage / Summoner / Black Mage









The road to Exdeath is long and pointless... I mean, when you think about it. Knight is very much a "hold A to win" kinda job and it made for a somewhat boring run. I felt like I could open up my other jobs at certain points in the game, like rod breaking, Titan/Gaia Gear, Gold Hairpin/-agas, etc. But mostly I just clubbed my way through. Bosses were fun.

Decided to do a Typhoon Upgrade run for my second go-around. First pull? White Mage.

Ok, no worries. 4 WHMs is boring but easy, and !White 6 doesn't take that long to grind out. Plus i'll earn some cash to buy rods just in case the second pull is RDM or something.

Second pull?

4 'zerkers. Rad.

Being dramatic, of course. I just finished Fire Ship, so I can always just skip the job entirely and not bother grinding out Equip Axes. But what fun would that be? Let's see how far I get.

Probably gonna be one run and done for me this year. To make up for it, I came up with a fun :toxx:. Don't worry, it should be much easier to complete than my previous attempt at one.



One of my favorite silly little things to do in FFV is mess around with the dancing werewolves in Quelb that give you Requiem. Basically, they turn whenever they bump into something, including you. That means that by standing in the right spot, you can break them out of their loop. The other half of this is that if there's nowhere to go in the direction they would turn, they just stay there, running in place. Forever. (Or until you leave the screen, anyway.)



Getting them all stuck on corners is simple enough, but what if we took things... a step further?



:toxx: I will donate $1 for each person who can get all three werewolves all the way down here, capped at $50. (Only one entry per person, please!) It's trickier than it looks, even once you figure out the method for it, because all the other werewolves wandering around can potentially throw a wrench in things.

Disclaimer: I haven't played the Pixel Remaster, so apologies in advance if it changes how their pathing works in a way that makes this no longer possible.

E: I'll also accept the three spots below the bushes instead. From what I can tell, though, that seems like it would be significantly harder to pull off, so I'll also tack on a one time $5 bonus if someone can manage it.



I have herded the werewolves, but not sure if this counts as "trapping" them. Galuf can wiggle back and forth to keep them in werewolf prison, just about!

How'd you end up in that situation, out of curiosity? I don't think it should be possible to have all three of them down there without being stuck in place, unless my fears about PR changing their behavior turned out to be correct.

I have belatedly realised that I absolutely forgot the terms of the toxx and herded the wrong werewolves. The Requiem ones are tricky and interesting, but I'll give that a go too!

Oh lol, tbh getting three random werewolves to wander over to the right spots seems like it might actually be even more difficult. I'll go ahead and count it anyway, and give you credit for the requiem guys too if you get them sorted out.

You're Actually a Coward if you take the Brave Blade



It seems like every time I take a hiatus from the Fiesta, when I come back, Gilgabot gives me a team with a) a Knight, and b) no way to avoid Chicken Knife's Flee effect. So I get this idea in my head that I should not run away from any random encounter in the entire friggin' game! And every time I regret it as soon as I get blown off the Big Bridge in W2! I'm also a coward for refusing to shift gears, and therefore, I should pay. I will donate $5 for every full-power Brave Blade used on NED, up to $150 total (in honor of the totally epic and also extremely not-worth-it attack power of the dumbest sword in the game). Don't do it! It's really dumb! But if you insist, at least you'll be teaching me a lesson.

See, this is my kind of toxx. I love trying to make the most out of crappy jobs with interesting combos or stat boosts, or in this case abusing the crap out of a rule, more than just trying to be OP or handing everyone !mix or whatever.
I also took a fifth job for the first time this run. So I sacrificed the Geomancer, but the Mime got to keep that juicy Mag stat for throwing scrolls and kissing succubus...ly. If you want I took a screen of Mime Krile with high Magic if you want that verification, but I mean, Geo is the quickest job to master so of course I did.

I was worried i'd end up with Oracle, a class I'm unfamiliar with, but my worries were for naught:
