Stroke of luck!

There's a new FF5 SNES ROM hack called Project Demi that removes most cutscenes and adds an encounter toggle. The plans are to use this as a basis for a full fledged open world/randomizer hack like Free Enterprise for FF4.

Should be handy for the fiesta!

that's rad, but not gonna lie i would miss the GBA translation

Sleep in the briefing room.
At your own peril.
And done at last!



The ascent up the tower was actually really rough with the 1/1/2 team setup (Terra and Celes in their own teams and Setzer paired with Gau to give all three teams some healing and control), I think I wiped more to randoms than I did to bosses.

Though Guardian surprised me as the biggest roadblock of the bosses, since Dadaluma Program's thrown Ashura was an unavoidable 9999 damage and Terra was soloing him. Didn't help that I had no auto-Haste (sold off all my Hermes Sandals to clean up my inventory like a dumbass, and never did get any Marvel Shoes) so no way to prevent Slow from Ultros Program. I eventually got lucky by giving her a Black Belt and getting enough Ultima Weapon counters (plus regular attacks) to kill him before he got to Dadaluma.

Only scare on the final boss (aside from a few instant-death Reposes from Rest that thankfully never hit) was Kefka firing off a Heartless Angel, and then Magic Urn Gau sticking to his fists instead of Curaga and triggering an Ultima counter a few turns later while Terra and Celes were scrambling to Cure/a the team back up (in retrospect I probably should've just dropped that Megalixer that I grabbed on my way through the tower, stupid hindsight), but thankfully they managed to heal just enough to survive the counter while Setzer was Offering Fixed Dicing Kefka to death.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
There's an Open World Randomizer for FF5 called Career Day that is currently in beta testing.

Since the thread got bumped. I think it's about over but GIGLABOT has been doing class voting recently:

I'm guessing the winner or winners of that poll will get banned in whatever new code word appears this year.

Yeah, I'll probably close this one in a few days and start thinking up clever titles for a late May opening for 2019.

Do you mind posting here when you do? I don't usually check the top-level games forum and don't want to miss it.
