Wait for RK to wake up and fix whatever's broken. He lives in Japan IIRC and it's 4:30am there.

Duly noted. I'm a little overexcited; this is my first Fiesta.

the fiesta proper doesn't start for two weeks anyways
this is just for preregistration
the event proper will (unless somethings changed) start with a streamed race under fiesta rules (with the team comp being a donation incentive)

is there a way to get the fiesta patch with sound restoration, or should i just use sound resto and unlock the jobs other ways

Yes, apply Fiesta patch first, then the sound restoration patch. If someone wants a combined patch for this, let me know.

(Would be lovely if someone made a patch that added !Red Lv4...)

Waiting for RK to wake up is a time-honored tradition, one you will come to know and love and :argh: at when you want to start a new run but need RK to verify your #Victory not that I ever did that last one

Watching Dragondarch race is the best part of the fiesta.

Was, anyway. But it's better to go out at your peak than to risk the mediocrity of competence.

This always looked fun and I never participated before, so I'm in.

However...

I wanted to pay for a legit copy and grabbed the psx version on vita in preparation. Apparently, this was a mistake - but how big of one was it?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Oh my god. No.

Hell, you already paid for a legit copy. Got a GBA? I think the cart I bought off eBay two years ago for the exact same reason as you is secretly a well-made counterfeit (quicksave doesn't work but everything else does) but I can't see a physical difference between it and the new one I've bought (which quicksave works on) and I was gonna get rid of it for a song anyway. Might as well save you from PSX rather than trying to get :10bux: out of it. PM me a mailing address.

Just going #PureChaos. #Fifthjob seems dumb without the proper circumstances, and would rather have Zerkers be a pleasant surprise rather than be forced with one (plus I've put my time in with Zerkers).

<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

Going for a 750 run because my last run had no magic and I wanna play with magic. It'll likely be my only run so no risk.

While suffering is an admirable goal, do you really want the fiesta starting contingent on mage masher reflecting?

Go Thief/Time (or Red)/Beastmaster/Dancer. Make them suffer on NED instead.

I went with pure chaos with the fifth class. I always have bad luck with the fourth class, so who knows I might get something halfway decent when Krile takes over.

I wish for only pain because the run normally finishes when I go to bed, instead of when I get up :woop:

Popular definitely seems like it would be fun; I'm probably going to put it off for a second run (which I will complete this year! Finally!) Registered PureChaos this year.

Re: Version differences, Mobile/Steam version is only really terrible if a) the graphics are aggressively offensive to you, and/or b) Triple Crowning is important to you. Personally I have no issues with the graphics (there are obvious technical issues if you squint at screenshots but it generally looks fine when it's in motion) and I actually like the monster sprites better in this version. Most of the gameplay changes are fixes to exploits that are generally only relevant to killing Omega (Omniscient is the other big one, but virtually every party that needs/wants to kill Omni still can fairly easily). Granted, that's not nothing, but there's a lot of hyperbolic hatred that it doesn't really deserve. At its worst it's still miles better than the PSX version. Hilariously awful translation notwithstanding.

Procedural question: I play on iOS and thus don't have a mod. What do I do if I get a Fire or Earth job at the Wind Crystal and then a Water (or Wind) job at Water? Do I run all four as the Water Crystal job?

Example: I roll Dragoon-Berserker-Dancer-Chemist. Am I Quadzerking through Ronka, or do I consider my first and third jobs to be Freelancer until I get the real jobs?

If you don't have access to a job, you run with the jobs you have access to (or freelancer if none are available).
