Since I've never used monks before, I've been doing a little turbo grinding to get !Chakra on everybody for some healing. Since turbo mode makes everything super fast and painless, would it be worth my while to keep going for Counter at this stage in the game?

Parallax Scroll posted:What's turbo mode? Not recommended for most situations for a multitude of reasons, but it makes low-level grinding a breeze when all you can do is mash attack anyway and could use a few extra job points.

 Team Mash Attack With Strategic Interludes is finally assembled. At least +30% HP should temper my dancer's fragility a little.

  Maybe it's because FFV is generally such an upbeat little game, but this scene got to me.

Dareon posted:I just gave the Dancing Dirk to my Berserker. How good an idea is this? Turns out a level 30+ Berserker performing Sword Dance does a good 5k every time. Pair 'em with some Dancer-specific gear to increase the likelihood of Sword Dance coming up in the rotation and they might end up being viable.

So I've never fought Exdeath before. Dude opened with Doom. I opened with three Yellow Dragons. Then my Dancing Dirk Berk got off a Sword Dance.  Not even ten seconds man.

D_W posted:Other than some pretty cringe worthy stuff with Bartz's and Guluf's reaction to Faris's gender at the start of the game, I've been finding it rather charming. I remember hearing that GBA localization was really good when it came out, but this is my first time playing it. I'm also glad they didn't try to pretend with the coronation that she was never a pirate like another game I could mention.

13/f/cali posted:Wait, you don't have to split the party 2/2? Sent my Berserker in alone with Mirage Vest and a pair of Hermes Sandals. Seemed to do alright, long as I remembered to heal after every fight. Fork Tower itself was a largely useless detour since I don't have any access to magic of any kind, but I needed Cid to fix me up so I could head underwater for the last few pieces of equipment I need. For my Berserker, weirdly enough.

NED's dead baby. Also these two losers.   Second fiesta, first win. Much obliged to everybody in IRC who put up with my inane questions and urged me to do crazy stuff like take on Omniscient with zero magic and berserk Shinryu. Super special thanks though to my long-time friend Twelve by Pies who got me into FFV and the FJF in the first place.     EDIT: For fun I decided to keep track of my party wipes. Overall I saw 17 game overs.

Run No. 2's been a welcome reprieve from what I had to deal with the first go-around. White Mage, Mystic Knight, and now a Ranger. Time to go after that fourth job.

Having waited several hours for Omniscient to run out of MP on my first run, Silence !Spellblade !Rapid Firing him to death with the Chicken Knife in the space of a minute on my second is oddly cathartic.

   Run No. 2 complete, triple crown get. Surprising no one, this run went way smoother than my last one. Lower levels, lower clear time, even a lower death count (7 to the first run's 17). On the fence about whether or not to do a third run, but I suppose I've got until Gilgabot processes my victory to think it over.
