One of these years I'll go read the rules and actually do this.

Maybe it'll be this year???

Does anywhere say what the flying hell 750/no-750/chaos/natural/double dog dare/gently caress faris modes actually are, I have never figured out how to find anything on reddit

Guess I shoulda gone there instead of trying to trawl reddit :v: Thanks. Does "750" relating to rods refer to something in particular? That the gil price for rods or something?

Man am I ever fuckin' smart. I guess Rods are pretty busted in this game, then, if they have their own categorizing

I should go read an LP or something before the thing starts so I have half a clue going in

Play it blind like I did! Super fun, and maybe you'll even be surprised by a certain Battle.

No chance of that one, Big Bridge fuckin rules and Gilgamesh is a bro in FFXIV :v:

I haven't really tracked one of these as they happen. Do most of the charity donations come from stream watchers and the like, or does RK donate for everyone who completes a Fiesta, or what?

"a goat"

...someone post the screenshot of that Gilgamesh line where someone else actually did this :allears:

I will do this because it made me laugh out loud but should it be capitalized as you say it or A Goat or A goat or

Not having played the game at all yet, what's so rubbish about natural? I was led to believe that each character was a blank slate so it didn't matter which job each one got?

(e: oh, it's the staying Freelancer-until-they-get-their-job part, isn't it. gently caress that for a bag o fish)

Oh, I thought even in normal runs characters weren't allowed to use abilities from jobs other than whatever they currently were.

Methinks since I've never actually played FFV I'm just gonna register normally because I'm a giant sissy and berserker risk sounds scary :ohdear:

So if I'm reading this right one hundred and twenty six extra Berserkers are gonna be handed out just from this page, right

yeaaaaahhhh skipping that hashtag for my first play :v:

Yeah, that was me. Having not really played the game I assumed that one couldn't use abilities or whatever outside of their current job, either as part of the game or as a normal FJF restriction. Evidently I was wrong on both counts!

I should probably just play the game once through in the next week and a half or something, but at the moment at least, Witcher 3 is trying to take hold again, and anyway I don't want to accidentally bore myself of FFV before the Fiesta even starts.

I'm not good at twitter, do I need to follow @FF5ForFutures before I register or after or what? I don't understand how direct messages or @ tweets or whatever work

I was following Gilgabot briefly before but then it got weird and memey

Oh, hey, the fiesta's started. Appears my first job with normal registration is Monk.

I have no idea what I'm doing in this video game :(

Well, on the plus side, Monk is probably the most straight-forward class you could have gotten!

I'm sensing there's a deep and painful minus side implied to me getting Monk, here :v:

welp :suicide:

All I've done for this game is read one LP, so I don't really remember most of the useful things that you all (and probably Enkibot) take for granted. I don't suppose there's a handy cliff notes sort of thing for that, is there?

Just finished teh Water Crystal, I'm at Monk/Summoner so far. So just to make sure I understand the rules, I can have two monks and two summoners or one and three of each in any combination across all characters, right? So if I wanted to brute force I could teach everyone everything from all four of their chosen jobs?

(On a normal #reg run, mind)

Up to Monk/Summoner/Ranger so far. I guess I'm doing okay since I haven't game over'd yet.

Do the 4 heroes have stats of their own or are they tabula rasas? (e.g. are Lenna and spoilers Faris better at magicky poo poo 'cause they're girls :biotruths:)

Looks like my team for my first ever FF5 playthrough is Monk/Summoner/Ranger/Samurai. I guess at least with !Animals I seem to have some semireliable healing...? :confused:

Starting a chaos run with Dragoon was worth it just for having !Jump on my entire party.

Edit: And those Jumps were the killing blow



I beat this with two Rangers spamming !Animal and praying for Nightingale, Summoner spamming Ramuh and my Monk flailing ineffectually

Took like six firings of that beam :negative:
