Samurai and 3 Zerks. World 1 was an exercise in making it rain. World 2 was an exercise in plowing through random battles with four killdozers (that sometimes made things worse, instead, oops Death Sickle procs on Reflect Knights.)

World 3 is an exercise in "where's the best place to grind with three people who are too angry to take down an iron giant safely". There's no way I'm doing NED at Lv33ish, I need to get more levels. And maybe elixirs.

Today I started playing FFV for the first time, and gosh, it's really charming so far! Simple plot, but effective.

I've got currently: two knights, two mystic knights. After having to backtrack through the entire fire ship donjon to buy spells for my mystic knights, I then wrecked the fire boss and now there's a timed segment - but I've saved to get some sleep.

Game is fun! I never would've ever played it without this challenge / SA bringing the challenge to my attention, so - thanks, guys! It's a good time.

ps. My dude is named Basch, because of Ondore's Lies.

Friendly advice, don't try to do everything in that timed segment, it's more or less impossible. You're going to run into a time-waster at the very end, so keep that in mind. If you're not averse to guides you might look up what treasures in that section are worthwhile and/or relevant to your classes so you can map out how to get them and not waste time on monsters in chests and 20 gil "treasures", but if you don't feel like doing that, just keep a brisk pace.

Very well.
Inspired by Dragondarch's level-matching Goblin Punch shenanigans, one of my own FF5 memories, and the current hypothesis that #regpopular is weighted toward blue mages;

I pledge $5 for each Galuf who hits Exdeath with a level-matched Goblin Punch, to a maximum of $100 (for I am unfortunately not inordinately wealthy).

After all, what better way to protect your granddaughter from a tree demon, than with a magically enhanced punch to the face?

Eh, screw it. Everyone who clears the game with the name "a butt" will trigger a 2 dollar donation from me, up to a maximum of 70 bucks(it'd be more but the exchange rate is murder).



I also just donated to add some zerkers to the pool.

Calling all Captains Courageous!

This year, like every year, I plan on using the Chicken Knife like the dirty little coward I am. But you know what? I think you can do better!

For everyone who completes their run with a fully functioning Brave Blade either equipped or in their inventory (which is to say, a Brave Blade at full power; no running), I will donate $5 to Child's Play, up to a total of $150. For proof, all I ask is a screenshot of your party, standing before Exdeath in the Rift, with another screenshot of your untarnished Brave Blade boasting 150 attack power.

first job is blue mage. Going to be good to have a nice easy run.

Chemist/White Mage/Dancer/Beastmaster

World one will be painful.

Staggy posted:

Yeah, I got blue mage to start with too. Never used it before and not sure how it holds up later but I've just cleared the water crystal and it has absolutely steam-rolled things up until now. Next up: summoner.

So far in my 750 run I'm White Mage / Red Mage. I feel like I'm going to roll the weak option for all of these crystals, so I hope I get proven wrong with a Bard or a Chemist soon. Wish me luck.

Genocyber posted:

So I got Chemist as a first job. I don't believe I've used a Chemist in a Fiesta before so this should be fun. I have the combination chart and Kyrosiris' screed open but is there a list of where to get Mix materials from?

Noper Q posted:

So far I have Blue, Red, and Beast. I guess I'm obligated to get every Blue spell now.

Does Dual cast work with Blue? I'd rather not do that grind if I can help it, but I will if it's worth it.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:

Haven't started yet, but I got Blue Mage, which sounds pretty good. Went Zerker risk too, so I'm excited to see what else I end up getting.

Think I'm going to do an iOS run this time, I'm glad I did The Run on SNES but being able to walk faster is probably worth the ugliness this time.

edit: Also drat, there are a lot of quadzerkers in here. RIP.

Why not split the difference and go with the GBA version? It looks good AND has dash (plus fast forward if you're emulating).

Austere things posted:

Ok, so I have what is probably a pretty dumb question about my Pure Chaos run, but I'm not entirely sure how to go forward with this.

So far, I've rolled a Geomancer for Wind Crystal and Zerker for Water which is fine, but I'm not sure if that means I should be running a team of mixed Freelancers and Zerkers until I get to the fire crystal or if I should go all Zerkers since that's the only legitimate job available to me right now.

So, uh, what's the recommended level for Liquid Flame with four berserkers? Is 25 gonna be enough, or does this require more grinding.
