Same  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.

You can find it here, but be aware it contains story and boss spoilers, as well as a significant amount of mechanical information for the game. This link throws a 404.

750: White Mage, Black Mage, Blue Mage, Red Mage, Time Mage, Summoner, Bard, Geomancer, Dancer, Chemist No 750: Knight, Thief, Monk, Berserker, Mystic Knight, Ninja, Ranger, Beastmaster, Samurai, Dragoon 750 + Berserker Risk is a pretty good choice for a first run except that there are a few combinations that can have a rough early game.

What are the options for a character to deal more than 9999 damage in a single round? The scene with Gilgamesh sacrificing himself in the rift is a counter than Necrophobe executes against any attack that takes him under 10k hp. Dead enemies don't counter, so if you can kill him by dealing more than 10k damage in a single round, you can bypass that scene even if you took the Excalipoor. I discovered that by accident a couple years ago, and I'm thinking about making a toxx out of it, but it seems that being able to do it is very contingent on having certain combinations of jobs. I can think of three ways to do it:

Mega64 posted:Berserker Risk, it depends on how you're feeling, as Berserker can be surprisingly good. Whether you want to take on Berserker Risk your first time around depends pretty strongly on how many Berserkers a risker is likely to get. One is fine, two is a little iffy, and three can be a pretty bad time. They changed the rules a couple years ago so that fewer players would get multiple Berserkers, but it's still not totally safe.

I've done something like that where each character is allowed to use the job from their crystal and one other. It gives a little more flexibility than a straight natural run without allowing everyone to spam the most powerful abilities.

It's been pretty consistent ever since I started paying attention. All bets are off for this year, though.

You can require each character to use their own crystal's job for NED. Sometimes that doesn't make a difference, but if you get some of the more expensive jobs and don't want to grind AP for hours, it might matter.

If your wind job is Thief/Knight/Monk/White Mage, your water is Berserker, and your fire is Bard/Ranger/Geomancer, you're going to fall in that bucket. For a normal run, the probability of one of those job combinations is 8%, so it's fairly common. e: If you're running Monk, Berserker and Bard/Ranger/Geomancer, you are absolutely going to hate Byblos. That's 2% of all normal run job assignments. ultrafilter fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Jun 4, 2020 |

Even with Geomancer being useful, that still leaves a slightly greater than 5% chance of going up against Byblos with a party that has no fire damage.

Geomancer is very niche. In general you'd prefer any other fire crystal job over it. But you don't have much to worry about, because you have Time Mage and Samurai.

Geomancer's perfectly fine if you're not playing by Fiesta rules. You won't use it much, but having its passives on your Freelancers is nice, and !Gaia is a good ability for the various Mage classes. It's just being locked into it that kinda sucks.

I can't remember whether Equip Rods also gives the ability to use staves, but if not, that's the other category.

Ace Transmuter posted:Equip Rods is the most useless Equip skill, though; it's the only one that doesn't carry any stat bonuses with it. You could have a Black Mage wielding a staff, or a White Mage wielding a rod. Maybe there's some use case for that? It would give you access to a second rod breaker, which is probably not a bad option at some point. It also comes so late in the game that most of the times you'd want it are long since passed. Of course if you can do that you also have the option of using !Time, which is significantly better, so

A Knight or Thief with Equip Rods has access to elemental damage that they otherwise wouldn't get. e: Knight/Time/Bard/Dancer and you're going for the Brave Blade for some reason. Flame Rod Sword Dance might actually be useful for the pyramid. ultrafilter fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Jun 6, 2020 |

Don't completely forget the Phoenix Tower. It's a slog and there's no equipment, but you can get a decent amount of money and the Magic Pot fights let you trade an elixir for 100 AP. That's not necessarily a great deal for a lot of parties, but if you have Red Mage, it can make getting Dualcast a little less painful. Oh, and there's also Phoenix at the top, which is worth picking up if you have a Summoner.

PastaBakeWizard posted:Can someone clear something up for me about Chaos runs? I know that normally you'd get your first job and then everything would stop being a freelancer and switch to your Wind Crystal job, but I'm being given the impression that in Chaos, instead of having at least one of each job you have unlocked, you have exactly one of each job you have unlocked and the balance are freelancers. Is that right or is my reading comprehension just garbage? You have Freelancers up until you get your first equippable job. After that, normal fiesta rules apply.
