Here's to hoping I don't get a 75% Red Mage rate like last year. And the previous year. All of you complaining about Geomancers have obviously never been drowning in red mages.

Woo, it's the zerkiest time of year already. Ciaphas posted:One of these years I'll go read the rules and actually do this. My first FFV run was a Fiesta run, and I've done it every year since then, so. ...Which actually makes this my 6th year doing the Fiesta, geez.

I've never done a Fiesta before, but I've beaten FF5 without Blue Magic so how hard could it possibly be? I don't think I could really do more than one run considering burnout, but it should be a fun diversion.

Going to be doing my first Fiesta thanks to FFRK-induced nostalgia. I've played FFV before, but never all the way through, but have paid tangential attention to the Fiestas in the past. What are the known list of registration commands this year, or are they a mystery until registration officially starts? I remember reading about them a couple years ago but didn't see a list of any in the OP, and the official site is just a countdown timer. I'm assuming for a first-time complete playthrough anyway I should just stick to the default...

Aerox posted:Going to be doing my first Fiesta thanks to FFRK-induced nostalgia. Generally the reg commands are the same as the previous year's, with a new one thrown into the mix somewhere, being announced when registration opens. The ones for 2015 were Normal, Random, Chaos, Natural, Classic, No 750, 750 Only, BERSERKER RISK. There's apparently a secret command this year though, so we'll see.

Schwartzcough posted:We can't be sure about this year, but probably the only change will be the new "mystery" option. Here's a link to the other likely commands: http://fourjobfiesta.com/help.php Thanks! What exactly is the difference between Normal, Random, and Chaos? Am I reading random right in that you could just theoretically get 4 water crystal jobs out the gate? Pretty sure I want to do #natural, but not sure which main mode I'll end up on.

# ? May 20, 2016 01:22 |

Normal means you get one of each job set. Random means you get one of each job set from at or before that crystal (so water gets wind and water, fire gets fire, wind and water, earth gets all four.) Chaos means you can get all 20 jobs from any crystal. Don't play Natural, it's the shittiest thing ever.
|
# ? May 20, 2016 01:24 |
|
Normal: Draws a job from that crystal when you get there (so Wind only from Wind, etc) Random: Draws a job that you could potentially have when you get to a crystal (so Wind only from Wind, Wind/Water from Water, etc) Chaos: Draws any job, duplicates possible.

I tried this two years ago and got like, halfway through the game before petering out unsuccessfully. Maybe now that I stream video games I can make a more determined run at it.

Last time I managed to defeat Shinryu but, somehow, couldn't defeat Neo Exdeath. This time, THIS TIME, Imma do it.

Kyrosiris posted:At least Red Mages can snap rods, heal (and use the Cure Staff), and apply buffs. They get all of one buff, and their healing is garbage past the midgame. Rod snapping is really all they got going for them. Geomancers at least let you ignore the most annoying kind of dungeon bullshit and can deal decent damage sometimes.

I kind of think he's the hardest normal (i.e. non-optional/secret/postgame) final boss in the series. There's a whole bunch of little tricks regulars use to grease the wheels of that encounter a little bit. Make sure you grab the Magic Lamp, for example. Check the document!

Kyrosiris posted:You know what else does? Hi-Potions are also kinda tedious. Really I just particularly hate red mages because I get the bastards so often. If I got so many geomancers I'd probably hate them a lot more too. This wouldn't be a problem if Gilgabot was actually fair and balanced rather than a filthy liar.

Geomancer has poo poo stats in everything, Bells are a poor man's axe and pointless for anything but selling for money, Gaia is loving worthless for a majority of the game, Time Mage does all of its jobs better, there are pit traps in, like, one area.

Lovely Senorita posted:after a few years of this, I'm thoroughly convinced that Berserkers are a much better job to receive than Red Mage at any and all points Berserkers are amazing if they get just one useful support skill Even if it's just a magic job to boost the rune axe. More than once I've beaten the game with a Berserker as my only good damager. IDK how much I'm gonna do this this year around, the last couple of years haven't really worked out great, I got fired in the middle of the fiesta in 2014 and I was transitioning into a new career in 2015. Maybe this'll be the year I get 20 wins.

I'll actually finish this poo poo now that I'm on a desktop and therefore can play while watching videos instead of forgetting about the run in the fuckin' end-game hell, I'll do a prep run

Guess I shoulda gone there instead of trying to trawl reddit Thanks. Does "750" relating to rods refer to something in particular? That the gil price for rods or something?

Man am I ever fuckin' smart. I guess Rods are pretty busted in this game, then, if they have their own categorizing I should go read an LP or something before the thing starts so I have half a clue going in

I think I read somewhere it was weighted a bit towards later classes, but I could be wrong. But otherwise, yeah, it assigned you any job. excluding mime and the bonus dungeon classes of course.
