guessing it probably also combines with the other game modes, so if you go random you can get multiples, no750/750 the class pool's limited, classic everyone's limited to the job they get from their crystal, etc

LightningKimba posted:I asked about this a long while back in a different IRC, but is it possible to pull a FJF with Bravely Default? 'Cause I wanted to do a new run of that game, and I figured doing an FJF would be a Cool Idea. ... Except I'm not sure how to go about it. i guess the only way you could do it would be to randomly choose a single job from each chapter and then go unlock it ASAP once you hit that chapter. the problem's that the game's way longer than ff5 and that you wouldn't be able to use your full team comp until you get to the last four chapters, which is so far through the game that you wouldn't be able to use your final comp for super long unless you do the optional fights/dungeon. the other thing's that BD's more about experimenting with job combos and that each job's not as self-contained as ff5. the reason 5 works so well is because you get all the jobs except mime pretty early and it's short

Kyrosiris posted:Yeah, the Rune Axe is loving beastly with a good magic passive behind it - if it wasn't only 81 Attack (versus 127 of the Chicken Knife), it might actually be the second best weapon in the game, since it works similar to the CK (specifically, it adds an extra M multiplier based off of your Magic stat). also if it didn't have the axe lol random damage stat or the axe lol higher miss chance stat. man axes suck

dang, whips are actually pretty good. they add (level+agility)/128 to their M (it's bugged, but still), they've got built-in paralyze/magic, they're back-row capable. their random weapon attack modifier's nothing to write home about but if the damage calculation bug were fixed and there were just one or two more in the game they'd be a real powerhouse

Chaotic Neutral posted:Eh. Samurai's far from being hilariously good - it won't make a bad party better and it won't make a good party worse. Its toolkit is anemic - Shirahadori is mediocre since an ability slot is usually more valuable than a 25% evasion check, Zeninage is highly situational due to its formula and any party that has to rely on it is in abysmal shape already, and Iainuki is a decent instant kill effect for a skill 800+ AP deep into a subpar physical attacker. Crits are nice, but so unreliable as to barely count as a perk. you're really undervaluing zeninage, it's an excellent way to tear through some of the nastiest bosses in the game (including neo) and iainuki is IMO the best non-magical trash-sweeper in the game. the masamune's also arguably the second best weapon in the non-GBA game, acting first and being able to grant haste on demand is huge. you're right, shirahadori's not great as an equipped ability but having one party member that's basically invulnerable to physical damage (SH+elf cape+shield+heavy armor) is pretty choice, and if it weren't for the insane endgame swords katanas would pretty much be swords: the better version. they've also got a buynch of party synergy: zeninage benefits heavily from level boosts on bard or chemist or blue magic like off-guard, 2hing a katana is nasty as heck if you get knight and they're a great chassis for pretty much any other skill

ultrafilter posted:In fact, the only combination that no one's ever reported beating the game with is one berserker and three dead teammates. And that's just because they got to NED and decided it was too dependent on luck to wait it out. someone actually did solo berserker through neo: http://www.garath.net/Sullla/FF/berserker3.html only thing is that it literally took multiple emulators running in fastforward for a long weekend to happen. the odds of everything working out are just pathetically low and it might only be possible because of the berserker underflow glitch on SNES

Asiina posted:For a non-traditional fiesta I like the idea that at each crystal you also get a new job for the crystals before it and you can no longer use your jobs from the previous crystal. the problem there's the same reason the fiesta works so well, you get most of the jobs super quickly and entirely at the beginning of the game. so for everything except the first like four or five hours it'd just be a normal fiesta

KataraniSword posted:* You have four party members with different weapons needs and can only get 3 weapons with the Pyramid tablet. otoh flame lash is one of the highest dps weapons in the game if the enemy takes damage from fire3, and it's worth doing the island shrine to get the beast killer anyway. no real reason not to have all three as long as you're ok grinding stingrays

i like how for the last three years i've been saying that they should put in a mode where you'd get a pool of every job at every crystal and everyone was pooh-poohing it because you'd need a mod. look at us now

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:For Shinryu, sure, it's just tedious as poo poo to keep trying over and over again and really depends on which Wind job you got if you're going to not want to die before it's done. whm/zerk/zerk/zerk should be able to handle it if you put mirage vests on everyone and land the initial berserk on shinryu. as long as you can start getting blink up before the white mage drops you should be good to go

realtalk, i've never done risk because the whole fun of the challenge for me is getting a random team setup and knowing for sure one plus of the classes I'm going to get would kill it for me. basically what i'm saying is that if chaos is what i think it is this is going to be a good year for fungah

Vil posted:Fair enough, though I do think a single natural run can be worthwhile if only to know firsthand just why it is that everyone shits on it. natural sucks because the core of the game is interacting with job abilities and taking that away neuters the game. the reason single class and character challenges work is because they replace the ability tinkering with mechanical challenges (how do i beat this boss whose gimmick doesn't work with my class, how do i deal with this gimmick with a single character, etc.), natural doesn't have that because you still have four toolsets for everything which unless you get really screwed means that it's not much harder than a normal run anyone reading this, that's why you don't do natural runs

khy posted:Part of me thinks it'd be fun to participate in this, but I've got a loooooooong history of leaving RPGs half finished and I would likely not finish before this event is over and done with. I'm currently trying to play FF5 on my phone just because the job system still appeals to me, but I still have NO IDEA which jobs synergize with which and which are good and which are awful and so on and so forth. Too many choices makes me indecisive. Still I guess I'll give it a try sort of unofficially; play through on my own and come to this thread for help and advice.

Poulpe posted:So this'll be my first FJF and my first time playing FF5 at all in like 10+ years- am I going to hit some kind of complete brick wall challenge wise? I realize of course that some combinations are easier than others for sure but I'm hearing a lot of stuff like "don't level up that's stupid," which is definitely not how I was imagining playing it. leveling up's totally fine, most teams actually have to do it to make it through the last boss. all leveling does is increase your HP/MP max and very rarely bump your damage multipliers though so grinding doesn't matter much. your stats are set by your character and job with modifiers from equipment, there's no stat growth through leveling
