Hi goons, how long does it normally take for victories to register?

In any case, my first run was a pretty straightforward success. The closest thing to a problem I encountered was that I forgot to get a Power Staff, but the Wonder Wand chumps Shinryu just as well(seriously, the hard part of Shinryu was getting a good shot of him dying).
Ninja is powerful, but with Berserker being my only other melee class, it was definitely overshadowed by Blue and Time mage. Neo ExDeath is such a breeze when you can put up Hastega+Mighty Guard and watch your 'Zerker hack away with a !Time-powered Rune Axe while spamming Meteor.

No toxxes to claim here, but BLU/BST/BER/DRG run complete. Putting !Blue on everyone makes NED hilariously easy -- rune axe on the zerker (who ended up being *extremely* good and chunked out 4k damage against NED consistently at level 35), dragoon in the air as often as possible, and them and the blue mage and the beastmaster throwing out white wind and mighty guard whenever needed.

Amazingly, the blue mage (Lenna) didn't actually do much damage throughout the fight since she got hit with Old a couple minutes in, so she was mostly firing off support spells and trying to keep the Grand Cross segment in check with mind blast.

Run 5 - Random - Thief / Time Mage / Bard / Samurai - Complete!



This wasn't super fun, but it also wasn't very hard. Just not a lot of synergy between jobs. I ended up going for Meteo just as an extra damage source, since my !Mugging Thief and Masamune Samurai weren't really enough otherwise. I damage raced Shin (very easy with Quick Apollo and a lot of dodging/blocking equipment) and stoplocked Omega while waiting for Masamune crits as my source of damage. No quickleaking used!

Run four down, Popular this time.

NED: Spent the TED fight singing my way to omnipotence, with shell and blink to ignore what he was throwing out, then threw out 9999 damage Zeninage and Holy. NED got one action off in total.

Omega: Pretty standard lockdown with bard... until I tried bouncing holy at it, and realised my mistake. Zeninage and normal attacks did 0 damage, but katana crits dealt the full 9999.

Shinryu: White Mage. Not much to say, berserked the bard to speed up the clock.

Run 4 done, team cozy axes all done and dusted. WHM/ZERK/BARD/THIEF The hardest part was the first world and getting past liquiflame/Byblos/Sandworm. Wound up having to do some extra grinding for levels early, but once I got kitted out in death scythes and past the big roadblock bosses I pretty much ran roughshod over the entire rest of the game. Wound up stealing a gaia hammer from Titan and it never left the whitemage.

Going for all classes, I'm looking at either Monk/time/free/chemist or mystic/sum/Range/whatever for the next run. Either way should be pretty deviant.

Finally got through this, thanks everyone!
Went with two summoners hammering titan, one summoner keeping up carbuncle and golem, and a red mage playing field medic. I actually crushed through this, which made me regret stopping to gain 6 levels before doing it. But that will make it easier to set up a lot of these pledges. I run a lot of fundraisers, so I'm using this to show my kids how one creates revenue flow by attaching an event to a cause.

Run 5: Monk/KnightChemist/Geo/Zerky

At first when I saw that team (with Knight), I immediately thought to job fair to anything to make it realistically possible to TC. But then I remembered from the Discord that there's a bug-fix patch on SNES for various bugs, including for Power Drink (as is in most versions I am not checking Mobile, it only applies +20 Attack to Goblin Punch instead of the +20 Attack in general). So I immediately thought "Yeah I want to see Monk punch for 9999" and job faired for Chemist.

(I had to improvise with Chemist with Brawl because I originally wanted Galuf to Drink and punch Exdeath really hard, but Project Demi skips that fight)


However, I just realized that this is a thing:

Well. Looks like that Gaia's Bell uses Long Range Axe formula. I can get BIG NUMBERS thanks to Power Drink, so why not get the TC by capturing everything getting killed by the Gaia's Bell?

This bug-fix patch also fixes Blessed Kiss so I fought Omega Legit by succing it with sweet kisses setting it up for my Geo to 1v1 with Succubus Kiss.


I am however very dumb and forgot that Weapon Attack caps out at 255 so the max damage I can do with Geo at 32 Strength is 9932 (before any defense is applied) on the best possible roll. I spent over 40 Power Drinks and Phoenix Downs on Shinryu and NED separately, when I could have just bought Str boosting gear (Or Berserk the Geo but I wanted to capture the in-battle main/off-hand equipped to show that I did equip the Gaia Bell to get the killing blow) :eng99:

Run 5 is underway for me - Monk/Time/Sum/Chem - should be a thoroughly deviant run. !drink should keep monk relevant throughout the game, but I'm just not looking forward to the farm for Turtle shells, Dragon Fangs, and gil. Worse case scenario, Time/Summoner are broken enough that the Chemist isn't going to need to carry the entire run on his shoulders and won't need to farm as hard. Just Air knife him and spam Slydra will be good enough for most trash encounters.

To hit all classes, my run #6 is going to wind up Mystic/Ranger/Ninja/Freelancer which is pretty much going to be a disgustingly broken op run. Freelancer with Rapidfire dual wield Spellblade with Masamune and Rune Axe is going to be straight bonkers.

Well, this was fun. Didn't even think I was going to do it, but then Bartz's Ancient Sword landed Old on the first swing, so I decided gently caress it, why not. Blasted away with Fira and thwacks. Didn't even break rods or Zeninage.

Same :toxx: as last year. Use all twenty regular jobs and I'll donate $20 plus your job fair expenses (up to the total price of one of each regular job). Any kind of run is fine except for #fifthjob or some other mode that has you using more than four jobs in a single playthrough.

If you're going to do this, I suggest that you plan ahead a bit. This is going to take at least five runs, and you don't want the last one to be something like Monk/Berserker/Geomancer/Dragoon. There is no requirement to do this in exactly five runs, but more than that is a lot of FFV.


Here are the death shots for the last run




Job fair costs:
Run #1: $0
Run #2: $5 for DRG/DNC
Run #3: $5 for CHM
Run #4: $5 for BLM
Run #5: $7 for WHM/BRD/MNK
Run #6: $7 for NIN/BRD

Oh, that reminds me that I had an idea for a toxx myself.

It's time for :smugwizard: Magical Bufu's Magical :toxx:

* The condition for this one is simple: Obtain every magic spell in one run. White, Black, Time, Blue, Summons, and Songs. Dark Arts are exempt, but if you're a masochist you're welcome to go for it.
* The classes required to actually USE the spells are not mandatory, but obviously Blue Magic will require a Blue Mage or a randomizer run with Learning.
* Donation amount is $5 for every run with all spells, up to a limit of $100. (I wanted it to be more, but I have more bills to pay than I did in previous years thanks to Real Life Bullshit)
* Proof requested: Ideally shots of your magic screens, but for simplicity's sake I'll accept a shot of just the Time magic list to cover White and Black too (since you need to get their final spells to get access to Meteor). For most lists with multiple pages (White/Black/Time just barely require two pages in certain versions IIRC), I'll go by the honor system and accept single shots at the bottom of the list. Blue Magic will require shots of all pages though.

I finally got blue mage, the only requirement for this.



I cannot get dark arts as it is impossible to get a Necromancer in a four job fiesta.

So I guess a single Blue Mage is technically a "guaranteed" triple crown lol. If you're the right level and say you use Vampire on the GBA versions. You could probably make it easier in a variety of ways (death procs, that equipment glitch that only works on the US GBA version) but I wanted to keep it simple and show you could do it with 3 of anything else as well (Monks w/ crits would probably be the hardest? I guess you could just Time Slip them even if they were a high level). And, boy, was that an awful Omega win, no fancy script reading or anything and there were at least 2 non-Reflected punches, a bad Vampire, and a blocked Maelstrom.

Honestly I'm a little surprised it didn't take longer, I got 2 successes in a something like a little over one 7 to 10 hours marathon Wonder Rod grind (the first being an embarrassing wipe on an early Flame Shield replace). I didn't even know the RNG was that varied enough to work to be quite honest.
