It's okay if you have any questions.


The preregistration form doesn't say anything about a new run mode. Is there anything somewhere else yet?

Nope. No information on a new run yet

COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

Whats Winner Run? I don't recognize or remember it from last year and it isn't defined in the FJF sites help section

Also, RevenantKioku should probably go through and clean up Random / Chaos / Pure Chaos into just one option (Pure Chaos), imho

#Winner is a fixed set of jobs that won polls in spring 2019. It’s a boring walk to triple crown. White, Blue, Time, Summoner iirc.

I'd be fine with him combining chaos and pure chaos as long as he kept a dupes/no dupes toggle

So, what is the actual riskiness of #risk anyway? Is it about a 25% chance per job, and how is it affected by donations?

it's based off of how many people register and how much is donated as far as i remember. also i believe normal runs (including normal 750 and no 750 runs) can only have one berserker and it'll replace the water crystal job

Oh, you have to be on a run that allows dupes to get them?

It's only the Final Battle once all the players are ready.

Per some amount of money donated before the fest start, a 100% guaranteed Berserker is added to the Berserker pool. Players who choose to risk have a chance of having at least one job slot able to have a Berserker replaced by our good friend Zerky. Actual percent chances vary depending on number of riskers and how much money is donated.

I think the only run types that can get multizerker are the Chaos runs and Random, as well (not 100% on that). Normal berserkerrisk runs can only get a single berserker no matter how many berserkers have been added to the pool.

You can get multiple berserkers on Pure Chaos as well, even though it's no dupes normally. I know because I got 3 on my pure chaos berserker risk in 2017.

poo poo posting aside, I do actually enjoy having a Zerk around, and I can see the limited appeal of the Three-Zerks-and-a-Babysitter run (Dragon Warrior IV fans deserve a bone thrown to them every once in a while).

Quadzerk is a Natural run.

I still have not gotten more than one zerker in any of my runs. Maybe I should just go straight chaos risk this year instead of chaos 750

Like Clockwork

It's only the Final Battle once all the players are ready.

A single Zerky I find helps keep my brain from getting overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff I have to process in more intense battles (I have a developmental disorder that makes the brain processes that FFV asks of its player a lot harder).

Two is annoying, but tolerable (especially with a 750 run (let Pure Chaos be modified I want no-dupe wizards)).

Three starts to become actively unfun.

I see no appeal in quadzerker and am glad that historically it is very rare to be the poor bastard with the quadzerker millstone around your neck.

Purechaos 750 and no750 are my biggest wishes right now. Doesn't seem like it would be a difficult implementation, either!

E: Chaos 750 Risk is my favorite but random also sounds good!

That's a compelling argument, I will now have my berserker risk run be random 750.

And forbidden, so I can't wait until I get my one good job voided again!

i remember i saw a mod once which let you set a bunch of secondary abilities for berserker which basically replaced their fight command and i thought that was neat.

Pure Chaos Risk! :sickos:

I will be doing 25$ to start, to water the zerker tree. 25 to finish.

Then 50 bucks if my friends who starts every year actually finishes, plus 30 if he finishes before me.

This is exciting!

should be in the third post. I am also reprising mine from last year. As follows:

You know what's stupid? The Brave Blade. You know what loving rules?



:black101: TWO RAGNAROKS, AGAIN :black101:

So I'm :toxx:ing a $5 donation (up to $50) for the first ten people who finish their fiesta with two fuckin' Ragnaroks. Get the first from Shinryu, get the second from stealing it from Neo-Exdeath, and then take a picture during the NED fight of either both equipped or both in your item list to count.


Additionally, I will also donate $1 per relevant name that completes a run, per apophenium's toxx, up to a maximum of $50.

Also, this does not apply right now, but I am also reprising my end-of-Fiesta toxx based on stats that we rack up in Discord - for every rod broken (tracked with the .break command) and every person who hits the speed trap (tracked with the .trapped command), I am chipping in two cents a rod and ten cents a speed trap, up to a combined $100.

It's very much like the dril candle tweet. "stop using fast forward" "no"

That's as much a dunk on myself as anyone else, mind. I'm usually good for at least a hit or two a year.

I have no idea what all this talk is as I've never played it, but it's a good charity. I'll give my initial donation and plus an extra :toxx: up to 50. 10 dollars on every run who's never tried this and gets to the end boss. No completion required and no matter what difficulty. Just a pic or your word.

There's a bit in the Ronka Ruins where there's a trap floor that, if you step on it, you fall down. People who play the game a lot know it's there, but might not dodge it in time if they're going fast.

Sleep in the briefing room.
At your own peril.
There's actually several of those, but this is the only one that's directly in your path, and furthermore, it's only one panel south of a doorway you need to go through, so it's incredibly easy to hold the d-pad down an instant longer than you need to (especially if you're playing on turbo, hence the name Speed Trap) and plummet down to lose a few seconds.
