I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.

Hello FFV thread. I just wanted to share a little update from an old Mega64 thread. You may remember the Lets Play Final Fantasy With a 3 Year Old run from a few years back- The archive of the thread is here https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3724860 and if you don't have archives you should buy them for Lowtax's bandwidth spine, there are a lot of good gimmick runs in that thread.


Anyway, what is this kid up to now?

Haha, that’s awesome!

I finally got off my lazy butt and submitted the whole thing to the LP Archive, so hopefully it’ll be up any day now.

RK fighting the good fight. I know a huge Zerk count is usually desired but I do NOT want to do Quadzerks again.

Every year hundreds of berserkers are left abandoned in unfinished runs. Please remember that a berserker is forever, not just for Fiesta.

Are you Fast? Faster than THE RUN? If so, maybe your Bartz named FAST can beat the game with the runs jobs before the run starts. Post your completion, and $50 goes to the festivities. (Max $200)

:toxx:

I know you goons can be fast, lets see it done :allears:



I'm not used to using fast forward, but I'm ok with how it turned out. I used a buttload of potions vs garula, w2 exdeath I should have gone for !gaia and ran out of phoenix downs but somehow pulled through. Rare steals suck but the lamia tiara was worth it (on the way to the boss I got a second which let me geodance for bit too). I lost twenty minutes forgetting the lamp entirely, skipped flare sword and never turned in even my one tablet. Somewhat satisfied with the result, although this party is paper-thin enough that I did a bit more grinding than I really needed, ofc.

:toxx: I'm doing the Randomizer pledge again! Sorry I can't do more, I wanted to double it this year but unfortunately as I hinted before I did get some slightly unexpected expenses. Here's the details, pretty much the same as last time:

$1 per goon up to $20 for every goon that completes a run from now on to the end (must complete a normal run first) using Can Of Worms's Final Fantasy V Advance Randomizer. Make sure to emptyquote this post on a win so I can see it! Oh, and please don't use the FFVFJF site (probably not cool crowning on impossible runs), although if you want to slip a victory into another run's #Up that's probably okay.

It's up to you if you want to spoil the Jobs you get or not but I'd recommend it to reduce grinding and magic level confusion. Also, I'll probably wait until next year to actually donate so I can kill two birds with one stone and water that tree.

Speaking of, here's last years!

Huh, it never occurred to me that you could skip turning in the first tablet. Isn't the first visit to the sealed castle what triggers the cutscene of Exdeath talking to the monsters in the rift? What happens if you get all four tablets without turning them in, go all the way to Necrophobe, then back out of the rift and go to the castle for the first time?

A vase to face encounter.

The cutscene plays when you leave Moore after fighting Melusine and regaining Lenna, you can only get to the Sealed Castle with the airship that appears as a result.

Technically you can take Boko because Exdeath voids some of the hazards. I stop by when grabbing the magic lamp, it’s on the way.

Bruceski

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

When you leave Moore he voids the library, when you board the airship he voids everything else, and I do believe it's not until using the first tablet and leaving the sealed temple that he sends his goons after you. If you don't get that scene they just show up.

Cattail Prophet
Apr 12, 2014

Ok, so I was right. I still want to know what happens if you kill them all and then go back to trigger the scene though. Probably nothing changes but hey, the game does somehow have a flag for "has gone around the world on Boko," so I wouldn't put anything past it.

I didn't want to decide the run this year, and I may have given RPGLB enough to buy a new car this year, but I felt the need to water the berserker tree a bit before the run starts tomorrow. So I threw in ~$2500 and change to bring it up to a nice even 5k.

So which one of you just dropped like $2.5k on the fiesta? In one swoop we pretty much went from 1 zerk for every two riskers to a guaranteed zerkerbro.

I've got two questions:

1. When is THE RUN starting? I didn't see it posted on the official site or gilgabot's twitter.

2. Did Can of Worms ever update his balance patch? I really enjoyed doing runs with it, but I remember it having a few bugs (mainly instant death not working right).

If you must blink, do it now.
After sleeping on it, I decided to tweak my dragon slayer challenge (with Kyrosiris' blessing). The new challenge is as follows:

Bad Seafood posted:

  1. Have at least two of the following classes in your party: Monk, Red Mage, Geomancer, Dragoon.
  2. You may not have a Blue Mage or a Chemist.
  3. Kill Shinryu.
Accomplish the above and I will donate $10 in your name, up to $200. Do it with all four classes and I'll make it $20. For proof, a screenshot of your party killing Shinryu should suffice.

Ground floor, dragon slayers.

Right now, there's only 540 Berserkers for 578 Riskers, so you can't say for sure whether it does take Risk into account or not. :v:

It probably doesn't, mind, but we're still not at Berserker Guarantee

You idiot.
In this world it's pet or BE pet.

Yeah I did it out of curiosity and also have no berserkers with berserkerrisk. Chemist/Mystic Knight/Ninja/White Mage is just boringly easy.
Nevermind, berserkerless panic averted, my jobs got re-locked.
