Fenrir: Apr 26, 2005; I found my kendo stick, bitch!; Lipstick Apathy

Aaaaand first run of the year is done.

Mime/Zerk/Ranger/Monk is a weird one, and I don't think I have the patience to try the superbosses with it, but it was fun. Killer Bows are just loving nasty.

I'd started before I knew about the ACAB incentive so I'll have to do that with my next one.

Run #2 down. Once I had the summoner it turned pretty easy, this team had insane area damage with scrolls and later boosted Syldra.

Run #3 down.

Summoner/Thief/Blue/Mystic - this poo poo was basically game breaking. Omega was still too tall of an order without some absurd grinding, but these two went down without too much problem:

All es up to this one:

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?

TWO RAGNAROKS, AGAIN

So I'm 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.

Also got this poo poo, I had to re-fight NED to pull it off because the first time around I failed to steal like 10 times, and I had to just say gently caress it and drop the Lamptetsuken.

Run #4 done. Triple crown! :toot:

Mystic Knight, Freelancer, Knight, Chemist

(ok seriously this team is bonkers, although there are some parts where it can be a bit of a slog)

Run #5 down, also triple crown #2 for the year :toot:

This one was interesting, because I felt like I was on the edge of dying to half the bosses in the game, but I never really needed to grind much after the early game. Aside from kittyzerker the whole group was made of tinfoil and I don't think I've ever spent this many phoenix downs in a fiesta before. Overall one of the best runs I think I've had in a while.

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.

Jobs remaining: White Mage, Time Mage, Red Mage, Beastmaster, Geomancer, Samurai, Dancer

Run #6 is only going to knock Beastmaster off the list, but at this rate I've probably got quite a few left in me.

Thought about it and I think the Great Sea Trench would be better. Seems more useless if you don't have a time mage or geomancer to make it less annoying. Monk is ok because they need help.

So! Post a pic of you beating the triple goblin jerks to get credit.

This place sucks. Also, gently caress these nerds:

Lamp. Tetsu. Ken.

e: No geo/time

Run #6, Triple Crown #3
Blue + Beastmaster = :laffo:

Beat the drat game at level 24. Also had a really amusing glitch, although it did fix itself. This team is broken as gently caress.

Run #7 (Triple Crown #4) done, after I took a week and a half break mostly playing roguelikes and poo poo.

Red Mage/Summoner/Beastmaster/Samurai

Red Mage is bad, y'all. Seriously.

Jobs remaining: White Mage, Time Mage, Geomancer, Dancer.

2) challenge I will donate $20 to a maximum of $600 for proof of your geomancer hitting Exdeath with Gaia's Bell. Show me your geomancer with it equipped and a pic of the attack and we're golden.

This bell sucks.

Like, no poo poo, actually my first time ever getting that thing outside of a 100% all-weapons run where I never used it. But what else is this team gonna use? I got the rear end dagger, the rune axe and...welp!

e: Run #8 done, I thought about doing superbosses then decided I didn't feel like dragging it out.

Geo/Blue/Dancer/Zerky! Pretty wonky but it was fun the whole way. Geomancer is pretty bad for most of the game but it's actually a VERY good starting job if you're using the fiesta mod.

Jobs remaining: White Mage, Time Mage. Might have to just fair for both of them, depending on what kind of mood Gilgabot is in.

Run #9, Triple Crown #5 :toot:

Ninja/Bard/White/Freelancer

I mean, this is about as powerful as a group gets in this game.

Jobs Remaining: Time Mage

I'm adding another late toxx because gently caress it. $1 for every normal kill of the Tyrannosaur in the Moogle Cave, without exploiting its Undead status. That means no Phoenix Downs, no Healing Items, just a regular fight. The limit will be $25. Quote this or something of mine so it's easier to see, if you please.

Edit: It'll have to be the honor system unless you feel like recording the entire fight I guess.

Turns out, boosted Titan will gently caress this dude up

Run #10 (Triple Crown #6) done :toot:

Knight/Dragoon/Time/Summoner - of course it was good, it had the best job!

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.

Welp, it took me 10, because gilgabot just loved giving me repeats this year, and I didn't want to job fair more than once per run.

Here's the stuff I job faired in:

Fair total was $20 even (all the stuff above, plus the Time Mage I faired into run #10), but because the bot loves to troll, two of the times I job faired a new class I'd just turn around and get it again in the very next run (Mystic and Beastmaster)

apophenium posted:

I'm excited about this Fiesta!!! I registered for a Pure Chaos Risk run. My first risk!

I also want to do a challenge:

I'll donate $2 for every victory with Bartz named ACAB, BLM, George, or any related name, up to $100. Let's have fun and help people!

So I only ended up doing 9 of them with BLM, because I'd already gotten a few hours into my first run before I saw this post :v:

Happy Fiesta, folks!

IIRC, when I one-shotted Omega with that team, I used CK/Enhancer.
