Honestly unsure what the best way to do the second one is. 750 jobs will miss breaking all the rods, but they should be fine with drops for the empower ability. Chemists are really sad about not buying out the entire stock of holy waters, but still have most of their dirty tricks, I think. Physical classes will be a lot squishier/weaker early on, but will be basically fine long term.

Really gonna suck if you don't get some kind of healer, though.

The only offensive spells you can get without spending money are Flare, Holy, Meteor, and the summons.

The only white magic you can get for free are Mini, Esuna, and Holy. (You do get free castings of Raise from the Sage Staff, but that involves getting to that point.)

A poverty/ascetic run is honestly one of the situations where Geomancer and Ranger/!Animals truly shine the brightest.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
While we wait, here's a good guide on modding FF5 Pixel Remaster.

Key thing is Memoria, which is required for most mods, but also allows a few nice features, namely speed-up (done by modifying (FF5 Folder)/BepInEx/config/Memoria.FFPR/Speed.cfg, and there are options to map it to game controller buttons), ability to disable Encounters (in Encounters.cfg), and a couple other minor things. But this lets you install a slew of nice mods, mostly stuff for the UI as well as graphical and music mods, and even a few other miscellaneous mods, like my PS1 Enemy Names mod (which I still need to update).

Everyone must be job 1 at first crystal (or freelancer if you don't have it unlocked), and then one of each job you have unlocked for every following crystal.

In other words,

I still dole out the jobs per crystal, so 4x Job1 after Wind, even if Job1 isn't a Wind crystal job. 2/2 or 3/1 split after Water, etc.

Speaking of which, doing it this year may be a bit interesting:

Technically you use freelancer until you reach the crystal that unlocks that job.

We're also not the fiesta police.

Depending on your exact setup, unlocking jobs early may definitely "hurt", and you may consider that more fun. I have SAM in slot #1 and I'm kinda regretting that I just get to heavy-weapons everything down as Freelancer until at least Walse, but I'm too lazy to dig a TV my SFC will even talk to out of storage and don't feel like emulating.

OK



Wasn't as bad as I expected. Karlabos was basically Faris/Bartz attacking while Galuf/Lenna used Potions, while Siren I tried Hiding during her physical stage. It was rough and only Faris survived, but it worked!

So I learned !Hide won't cause a foe to run out of MP if there's no target in PR, which is a shame since it was such a central part of the solo Bard run. I ended up taking the spells in the face until she ran out, then plinked away at Forza in the back row while chugging Potions.

I had to struggle a bit to get the Elven Mantle, but it worked out. I also needed to grind to L13 and rely on only Bartz for damage while the other three healed. Definitely manageable in the end.

And my reward is Beastmaster. Definitely liking my team so far!
