Are class defaults still the same? Does a Monk!Bartz with !Mix still get a Barehanded bonus? Does a Blue Mage!Lenna with !Sing still lear Bue Magic innately? Otherwise, this is awesome!

Innate skills are still there, yeah. Learning, Barehanded, etc. still in their respective classes.

Final Fantasy V Advance Randomizer

So what happens if you just get say White lvl 4? Do you only get level 4 white spells, or everything below?

Final Fantasy V Advance Randomizer

Just drag a Final Fantasy V Advance (US only!) ROM onto the randomizer and get two randomized ROMs in return! You can even use patched ROMs, as long as they don't change job skills. That's right, you can randomize Fiesta Patch and Sound Patch if that's what your heart desires! The program will also spit out two text files that summarize the changes in each ROM.

The first ROM you'll get is the Mild edition, which randomizes what the default skill of a job is, and the skill tree (i.e. what skills you get when you level it up.) The second ROM is the Extra Spicy edition, which does the same thing as the Mild edition...

...except it's different for every character!!!

That's right, in the Extra Spicy ROM, a Bartz Monk will have a different skill loadout than a Faris Monk. For example:
code:
Bartz Monk
    Default: !Revive
    Skill 0: 15 !Black 1
    Skill 1: 40 !White 3
    Skill 2: 80 Equip Armour
    Skill 3: 200 Dual Wield
    Skill 4: 280 Equip Ribbon
Faris Monk
    Default: !Drink
    Skill 0: 30 !White 2
    Skill 1: 65 !Lance
    Skill 2: 90 !Spellblade 4
    Skill 3: 200 !Flee
    Skill 4: 440 !Mug
Note: This is still under development as there are a few bugs with the Extra Spicy edition, but it should be mostly functional. I am aware that some parts of the menu doesn't correctly reflect AP costs at the moment. If you find any bugs, or there are specific features you want, let me know!

I've had a couple jobs show spellblade in their extraspicy lists but they're not selectable.

Everything up to level 4. Although that reminds me there might be a problem with how FF5 currently handles spell skills.

Do you mean you unlocked the skill but it's not appearing in the menu? That might be an annoying "feature" of the original game that requires you to learn all the lower level skills first, I'll update the randomizer to fix that ASAP!

ultrafilter: Aug 23, 2007; It's okay if you have any questions.

Potentially of interest to some people here: How Three Kids With No Experience Beat Square And Translated Final Fantasy V Into English

quote:

One day in the late 1990s, Myria walked into the Irvine High School computer room and spotted a boy playing Final Fantasy V. There were two unusual things about this. The first was that Final Fantasy V had not actually come out in the United States. To play the 1992 Japanese game in English, you�d have to download a ROM, then install the unofficial fan translation patch that had recently begun circulating the internet. Myria knew about this patch because of the other unusual thing: she helped make it.

Updated the randomizer! It's the same link as the original post. The randomizer now applies a fix to let magic levels work properly. If you already have a randomized ROM that you need fixed, the second program (spell-fix) will only apply the fix and leave the rest unchanged.

Alright, here goes! Third time entering the Fiesta, and hopefully second time finishing. Random run, as last year.

And to make this more fun:

:toxx:

I'll be watering the Berserker tree at the tune of $10 for each goon-completed run using The Run's jobs, between them being officially announced and The Run starting. (Once per goon, no total upper limit) :toxx:

Get those runs in :getin:

Lotus Aura: Aug 16, 2009; KNEEL BEFORE THE WICKED KING!

That gives like 10-ish days for people to rack up Berserker Tree cashmoney by using jobs from The Run which should be more than enough time for anyone that wants to do that. Even if it ends up being a miserably bad set of jobs.

What's going to make The Run itself suck with some job combos isn't necessarily NED or anything; it's that they have to do all tablets which means getting through everyone's favourite Rug Wizard...

Exactly this. As for proof, a screenshot of Exdeath dying with the four jobs in it is enough, I'm not going to be more picky than Gilgabot on this. (Also, you don't have to do anything more than kill Exdeath, you can skip all the optional stuff.)

Honestly, I've found in FF5, the dumbest questions aren't the ones you ask, but the ones you refuse to ask because "you've run the numbers, this way is just better".

Exception: "Where's the loving Dragon Fang?"

It's not unusual for someone to have questions the first time they play a game. It took me a while to get the hang of certain mechanics, and y'all here and in the IRC were extremely helpful.

So don't sweat it, newcomers. We'll help you along the way we ourselves were helped along when we started. Like a famous grocer said: If U need 2 ask, ask!

I am considering doing a (normal, non fiesta) run through the game before the fiesta starts proper since I haven't played since the PSX release and I never did beat the final area. A little afraid I may burn myself out though.

Okay, everyone in the thread must now do this run.

Honestly, I think you might be saved by how irritating this run will be. White Mage first crystal is always boring as heck, Dragoon sucks, and Beastmaster + Berserker sounds like an irritating combo.

Maybe if someone burns money to get ninja instead.

But probably not, you're likely to get your bank dried up!
