It’s been years since I’ve played FF5, and I bounced off of last year’s fiesta because of work/needing surgery/COVID fuckery. Maybe I’ll try it again this year. Maybe.

Oh man, that kicks a lot of rear end. Thank you!!

I think I might do the Fiesta after all this year, then. :getin: I’ve only ever done the fiesta with Thief/Mystic Knight/Ninja/Chemist, so I’m looking for a challenge this time.

I was gonna do RandNo750 last year, and then a kidney stone wrecked me. :negative: Hopefully this year won’t be so bad!

Ughhhhhhhhh I really hope Rand-No750 isn’t going to be too bad.

Also I’m considering adding #fifthjob.........👀

I hate FF5's Beastmaster costume.

Also, I suggest removing that image for your sanity.

Oh man, please tell me there’s a comedy patch for the GBA version in this vein.

I love FFV,but I never got terribly deep into it’s mechanics or anything. Is it worth reading up on Fiesta-adjacent material to get a better handle on what I can do, or should I just wing it?

I am suuuuuper close to making some sorta overlay for my Fiesta run that hooks into Bizhawk and shows each character's current job. Something like this:



It might be far too much effort for just the Fiesta, but I'm curious. I'm sure Bizhawk lets you write scripts that check in-game memory, it won't be that bad!

The worst part is that I have to break these spritesheets down by hand. :gonk:

don't ask why krile's so small

Someone's already done that. You'll just have to mirror them if you want them on the left side of your overlay.

It's happening. :getin:

I always do that for every run, because I determine who will be what job based on who has the best sprite for said job.

You do know you can freely swap jobs around, right?

I made this. :v:

<there was a video here but its gone now>

I'm proud of it, though I don't really know why. Takes anywhere from half a second to 1 second to update, but it's neat to see anyway.

Just, not entirely sure what else I want it to do...

Yeah, they’re very obviously the new sprites but pixelated instead.

:confused:

Like my problem isn’t that it’s not pixelated, it’s that the sprites look better in the semi-3/4 view of the SNES version. It’s just weird-looking art and pixelating it doesn’t help, I do not understand why they’re doing this.

I wanna do my run but I've been challenging myself to get over my streaming anxiety by always streaming if I can handle it so get in losers, let's find out what Gilgabot hits me with.

Thank you for hanging out on the stream guys!!!!!!!!! +1 to CHAOS!!! and Lenna being poisoned at Siren. :bubblewoop:

So last night, there were a few things that made the run less fun to watch:

  • Lots of battles, especially when grinding up Daggers
  • Not having any clue where stuff for Thief was, lots of time spent trying to figure out what enemies had good drops
  • I can foresee AP grinding being tedious as gently caress
  • I just don’t have much to say lmao

A couple of these can be resolved with one of the patch tools out there, so I’ll prolly pick that up cause I’ll die if I have to fight that many battles :negative:

I just realized that because I can in theory keep a local copy of my party's current set of jobs, I can make a request to Enkibot to get up-to-date hints on my layout. :getin:
