Why not just Job Fair yourself the best party and not even bother with that whole silly random party thing? I don't get it. Why bother letting a bot determine what you use when you can just pick whatever you want? I mean, if you're just gonna grind anyway, why not skip the tedium and just Job Fair it!

goes against the spirit of the event.

So, uh, real question this time:

What exactly is the "spirit of the event"? Since apparently you're the only person in the thread who has it right, and all.

It's beating a randomly assigned challenge where your options are constrained. Modding the game to change those constraints goes against that. I don't think this is a difficult concept.

Really? Because if changing things to adjust the constraints to be more fair to the player is contrary to the spirit then so too is the Job Fair but you don't have a problem with that.

Surely, then, the spirit has more to do with the charity drive rather then "you must play the game this way otherwise you are doing it wrong"?

Which leads me to my follow up question:

If the patch is such a problem to you why not do the sensible thing and make a pledge ITT for, say, $1/clear that doesn't use it to a max of $100? Surely that would be better for both the thread AND the spirit of the event than whining that people are having fun wrong.

That's not exactly a new thing and regardless of how much you complain about it, people are going to use it/not use it at their own discretion.

Except cheating is not encouraged within this thread. If you draw, say, White Mage for your Wind crystal then how does the patch help you there? The patch, if anything, makes the game harder, not easier. Remember, if you're playing a variant where you CAN get Water/Fire/Earth jobs early, then you're stuck using Freelancer until it becomes available. If you draw, say, Dragoon for your Wind job (which is 100% possible) then you're using Freelancers until then and if you think that's harder than 4 Dragoons with lovely knives then do I have some bad news for you.

And after you get the Earth job, which is about a quarter of the way through the game... what does the patch do to make things easier exactly? Turning NED into a Jumbo Cactuar, visually only, also makes things harder if you don't remember exactly what each part of NED already is, does and what you can do it in turn.

Unless the Job Fair's changed, I don't think you can actually. You can set your Water crystal job to Berserker, but that's it. I guess if you get Berserker as your Wind, Fire and Earth jobs you could do it but I don't think that's possible with any of the Fiesta's modes.

I was really looking forward to see how he could top that, but I guess he realized that's peak Dragondarch and he couldn't fail more spectacularly from there. A great shame.

Attempting to follow the Bare Only FAQ and then loving that up would be one way to go.

Bonus points for not getting Magissa to drop the Whip and needing to reset.

Unless you have no way of bypassing the Chicken Knife's run chance (spoilers: you will), there's absolutely no reason to ever get the Brave Blade. It requires a lot more hassle to maintain max power of and it can only get weaker. And even at its strongest, its less effective than the Chicken Knife at max.

Brave Blade bad. I believe Gilgabot had a handy dandy flowchart on this very subject.

So, like, is the Fifth Job command only usable in a Natural run? That's how it reads based on the info in the OP at least.

That gives like 10-ish days for people to rack up Berserker Tree cashmoney by using jobs from The Run which should be more than enough time for anyone that wants to do that. Even if it ends up being a miserably bad set of jobs.

What's going to make The Run itself suck with some job combos isn't necessarily NED or anything; it's that they have to do all tablets which means getting through everyone's favourite Rug Wizard...

I was originally going to do a vanilla run this year, but that would be way too boring.

Vanilla's too boring? Sure, fair.

But it's infinitely more interesting than loving Natural, jeez

This does sort of make me wonder how Pure Chaos' Freelancer/Mime chances work with added 750/No750 though. Is that even possible?

Probably hit the tweet limit, like he usually does. Just check the actual fiesta site; either your own page when logged in, or the general Players page.
