THE AWESOME GHOST posted:I think it's more "I don't care". FF5 Advance has a similar bug where if you reload a save you'll always fight the same encounters in order, you could abuse this to fight the rare encounters that give loads of AP. Only if you reload from Quicksave, not a normal save. It also only works in the US version; the EU version fixes the issue.

As it stands, reloading from quicksave also resets the timer to a random encounter, so if you quicksave and reload every 5 or so steps, you can avoid getting in fights. (This is only really useful for getting the Walse Elven Mantle early; on a side note, gently caress Jackanapes.)

Yeah, it's handy enough (also nice to get a guaranteed Stingray for getting Mighty Guard, and resetting the timer for encounters like Sordas mentions), but I don't find it to be that awful. Maybe I've been abusing it for so long in Fiesta runs that I'm acclimated to it.

Cheesing to the first Elven mantle is my most common use for it. I felt bad at first, but after my nth time beating the game I don't mind skipping the thrilling "hold run until you escape, reset if you wipe" gameplay.

Sorry for missing the ffu talk, but I remember there being an earlier anime titled final fantasy that I had seen some of but don't really remember it. I want to say it talked about events from 4 though.

Bought a copy of V (GBA) on eBay. Got lost in the mail, despite tracking - and it's on the seller's end. So I bought another copy. Nothing will get between me and the fiesta!

Man, I wouldn't even trust an FF-Advance cart from Amazon. There's just way too many bootleggers out there, if you can believe that there's a few people who have apparently dedicated their lives to making knockoff copies of games that won't even run on modern hardware.

In world 3 you can farm Movers for money if you can get through most of the last dungeon. Quicksave trick to find them, kill 2, let them move, kill the 3. 250k quick, equal to 5 elixirs for every other battle with quicksaving.

If you need to buy elixirs you probably need them before then. You can't buy them in world 2 but you can get them pretty quickly in world 3.

This year's fiesta needs to have proper recognition for those lucky enough to get the Thief, Beastmaster, non-elemental damage dealer/Archeodemon cheeser, and fourth guy combo and then the cajones to clear the Sealed Temple

crestfallen posted:The definitive version of FFV that you guys recommend is the GBA one, correct? Yeah. The phone versions are fine, but some people don't like the analog-ish controls (and some people whine that it's "ugly"  ), but otherwise it functions basically the same. I'm pretty sure that all the issues that made it sub-ideal for fiesta-ing were fixed in patches.

The only real drawback is the music isn't as good as the SNES version but that's hardly a dealbreaker.

The iOS version of FF5 is not as bad as people make it seem. The auto battle feature can be really convenient, and the graphics aren't that bad. Also it feels faster to get around. It is also probably a lot more convenient to get than acquiring an old GBA game.

If you're trying to do challenge stuff, If you're grinding in the woods before ????, the Heal Beasts drop Elixirs fairly regularly. And those fights give pretty much as much experience as anything else at that point.

One of the later cups has two teams that are basically instant death if you're not prepared (One of the teams is two monsters that'll probably just cast ultima immediately for 9999 to everyone + the other team is a mega tonberry who'll probably one hit all your guys before you do anything) You can get some really good items in the fiend arena though so it's worth putting up with that kind of thing
