Didn't name him Butz or Fartz, the most shameful of fails.

DD managed to fall behind everyone else.

In the intro cutscene.

There are times where trying to apply logic is meaningless.

Fai's mysterious benefactor posted:

I've never played FFV before, but it's a Final Fantasy game, so I bet some of the enemies are snakes. I killed a snake in a Final Fantasy game once and it was carrying gil. What business do snakes have carrying money anyway? Was he going to the inn?

I'll donate $1 for every snake-type enemy GOTTA STAY FAI kills during the Fiesta, up to $100. This includes asps, cobras, pythons, etc. BUT WYRMS ARE NOT SNAKES OK.

I look forward to resting easy knowing that next time I stay at an inn, I won't be sharing a room with a snake.

Okay, I missed the start of the race, but I assume they explained how Chaos works finally? I haven't registered yet because I like the possibility of Chaos, but I don't want it to turn out to be something terrible that leaves me bored for the first several crystals.

So DD missed the shortcut to Wing Raptor, taking the long way around the room.

Well, he technically is out of last place!

By, like, half a minute.

eLmaGus in first place, having beaten Garula, HappySquid and DD still battling it. puwexil is still grinding out levels in Walse Tower.

Next run beat him with 1 character alive at 11 HP. That was exciting-ish.

Despite wiping to Garula, DD has managed to get about a minute ahead of puwexil again.

:5bux: for any goon runner who succeeds, having not had any previous successes (so last year's failures totally count, but not last year's successes).

HappySquid had a pretty comfortable lead for a while but now he and eLmaGus are grinding Black Flames.

Mikl: Nov 8, 2009; Vote shit sandwich or the shit sandwich gets it!

Out of curiosity, which version are you guys Fiestaing on? I'm using the SNES version with English patch, even though I have a physical copy of the GBA version (it was a bargain-bin purchase which I never actually played), since I have no idea where my GBA ended up.

# ? Jun 21, 2015 19:22

Supremezero: Apr 28, 2013; hay gurl

GBA ahoy!

I might play iOS if I had it, though.

I always play my first run on physical hardware, FFV Advance.

Which sucks this year because I'm probably doomed to multiple zerkers. :allears:

GBA, on my trusty Game Boy Micro. I figured I'd go for authenticity since this is my first Fiesta and my first time playing the game.

DD is apparently going to do all the grinding he needs to beat the final boss in world 1, so he'll be behind for a while.

Doesn't he not even really need to grind? I mean Monk gets HP+30%, that should be plenty to keep the other classes safe from Almagest right?

What would be the hypothetical point of this even if he did need to grind levels for Exdeath? Is the XP/AP over time really better there than in World 2 or 3?

I'm pretty sure he can't not grind, due to being DD. He always grinds.

It actually is better than in world 2, since the big XP enemies there are solo, instead of groups of 5 like World 1.

The only better source of XP in World 2 is Shield Dragons, which they don't have the ability to kill.

DD still grinding.

ePSXe is really, really good and stream-software friendly
