Yay, it's almost Fiesta time!  Played FFV for the first time last winter to get a taste for it. Gonna start with a regular run, a 750 run, and then see what happens. Maybe chaos, maybe BERSERKERRISK

Okay so I moved cross-state and have been doing really boring things like buying lawn mowers and unpacking boxes and such but I sort of have free time now and decided to register! Hoping to do multiple runs so the first one will just be normal. Also holy poo poo at the donations recently

Back from the beach and ready to Fiesta! Saw my first job was Knight while I was gone. About to get started so I thought I'd check my Water job. My first Fiesta will be a Fiesta

Bah, wanted to know my full team (and if I should go Chicken Knife of Brave Blade) and got Knight / Berserker / Geomancer / Samurai. I'm thinking Brave Blade, no?

Samuel Clemens posted:You have no way of bypassing the Chicken Knife's flee effect, so the Brave Blade would be the superior choice. The question is whether you're willing to fight every single encounter just to get a weapon that's a bit better than the Excalibur. Yeah that's what I was thinking. I don't mind fighting every battle and with Equip Swords I can use Excal on someone else (not sure about BB, never had it before).

Finally to World 3... haven't had time to do a marathon session so I'm picking at it bit by bit. Knight / Berserker / Geomancer / Samurai, pretty sure I can't do Shinryu or Omega as I have no way to berserk Shinny or slow down the robot, unless I'm missing something? Geomancer... great for random battles but I was hoping they could use Wonder Wand... nope.

Mega64 posted:In a regular playthrough, you'd have abilities that could bypass the Knife's flee effect as well. I'm about to go to the Rift with Knight / Berserker / Geomancer / Samurai and went with Brave Blade. Had no way to mitigate the flee effect and I can use both Excal and BB no problem. The no running thing didn't bother me until the Pyramid (seriously gently caress the Pyramid) but I just ended up throwing money at everything.

First ever Fiesta done! Was thinking up crazy strategies like farming Aegis Shields with a Thief Knife, but I just ended up using a bunch of Elixirs and throwing money at NED.  Everyone mastered everything except Samurai which only Bartz mastered. Didn't end up using all those abilities but why not? Brave Blade run so I had plenty of AP to go around. Time to re-reg tomorrow! After having no rods or real magic users I'm thinking a 750 run will do just fine.

Run #2: Random - Thief / Mystic Knight / Time Mage / Ranger      Second Fiesta and first triple crown! Things were pretty slow until I got Comet. And Break Blade. Then it was cake. Quickleaked the robot and Power Staff/Mirage Vested the dragon. And boy howdy is NED a lot easier when you can Break Blade the Almagest portion. After this processes I'm gonna go 750 for real this time.

Bufuman posted:Taking on Omega with a Chemist team is always doable, but it takes a lot of setup. Basically, you're going to want !Mix on everyone, and they'll all need either Hermes' Sandals or Flame Rings. First priority is getting Goliath Tonic (!Drink with the Chemist and Dragon Fang + Elixir !Mix for everyone else) and Dragon's Kiss (Dragon Fang + Maiden's Kiss). Double HP and Heavy Status will go a long way towards surviving his nastiest attacks. After that, Resist Fire (Ether + Eye Drops) on those wearing Hermes' Sandals or Hasty-ade (Eye Drops + Turtle Shell) on those with Flame Rings. Also throw in Levisalve (Antidote + Maiden's Kiss) in case he decides to throw off an Earth Shaker. Then you'll probably want some levels, so drop a few Dragon Powers (Dragon's Fang + Potion/Hi-Potion) to boost your level. Since you need to do all of this for all four characters, it's going to take a while. Wow, awesome. Thanks. Hopefully I can pull it off after lots of Elixir and Mix farming.

Run #3: Team 750 - Black Mage / Red Mage / Geomancer / Chemist     Third run, second triple crown. Chemist is so loving broken. But then again so is Omega so gently caress that robot. Between !Mix and !Dualcasted Flare, the endgame was a cinch. Surprisingly enough, Rodz and his team never broke a rod.  Might do another Random run, I think I like mixing physical and mage jobs best.

Idioteque Dance posted:But now I'm about to go into the pyramid and I'm out of Turtle Shells, will I be able to farm some soon? I'm not too worried since I know I can just use Requiem on everything in the pyramid for the time being. Just get through the Pyramid and Melusine, and get the airship. Based on this map: http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/ff5/finalworld.php fly to F6 and walk around in the grassland. You'll find plenty of Grass Tortoises.

White Mage / Black Mage / Ninja / Monk Just downed Shinryu, and thinking Omega is nigh impossible. Can avoid Rocket Punch on WHM and BLM with Lamia's Tiaras, and NIN or MNK with Bone Mail (I'm not rare stealing a 2nd one with the Thief Knife). Flame Rings on everyone will help. Otherwise I just have to get extraordinarily lucky right? Or should I even bother?

And with that... Run #4: Random - White Mage / Black Mage / Ninja / Monk       Meh. It wasn't a hard Fiesta run, but it wasn't terribly exciting either. Actually this may have been the biggest roadblock. Monk was a drag, especially considering it was my Earth Crystal job. Eventually just gave him !White and used him as a healbot. So.. the jobs I haven't had yet are Blue Mage, Summoner, Beastmaster, Bard, Dancer, and Dragoon. A run with four of those would be pretty sweet IMO. Gonna take a little break and probably re-reg next week. EDIT: Thanks to the advice of derra this run is a triple crown too!

derra posted:Can't you reflect 3 people and cast Thundagas to avoid Rocket Punch alltogether? Should do good damage so you wouldn't have to survive that long. I'd wear Hermes instead of Reflect rings, in the first couple of turns concentrate on putting up some reflects / healing with elixirs then burst him down once set up? Yeah I put up Reflect for bouncing Thundagas, but I was just getting too many Mustard Bombs and Encircles to really make much headway. I'd rather just process this team and move on.

derra posted:Oh I hear you, I know I'm more stubborn on this than most. It was my understanding that if you only cast 3 reflects, so one of your characters gets hit, he doesn't counter at all, so you take out mustard bomb &encircle completely.  Just tried it and you're right. Gonna give it the old college try.

Just re-rolled a normal run. Knight / Zerker / Beastmaster / Chemist. KNI/ZERK was the same as my first run, so I know this owns bones. First time using BST though so I'm excited to try it out.

Run #5: Normal - Knight / Berserker / Beastmaster / Chemist     Fifth win and fourth triple crown. When I saw Beastmaster I knew I could do it all, but Chemist just made the whole thing cake. Not much to say other than I do NOT want to do another Brave Blade run again, ever. The Forest of Moore / Meatfort / Pyramid sequence almost broke me. Four of the five jobs I haven't had yet are 750 jobs, so I think I'll roll that again next time.

But I don't want to pop my Job Fair cherry with such an easy team. Ah well, guess I'll stick with it. e: Eh gently caress it, it's way too similar to my last 750 run.
