Let's say I've only ever earnestly played this game once and didnt even get halfway. How hosed would I be participating in this? I've already registered and I fully intend to play. I just wanna know what kind of beating I'm in for.

well I've only attempted it once in 2014 (maybe 2013 I don't remember) and that was a regular natural run, I failed to complete the run due to apathy and real life interfering.

Im trying again this year with chaos and berserker risk so I'd say screw it, jump in , the worst that can happen is you don't finish a run.

My only prep was to , for some reason I can't fathom why I thought this would be a good idea, I got myself psyched up for actually finishing my run this year by playing final fantasy 1 - 4 and playing all the versions of those that had secret dungeons and extra content so I could really just hate myself.

I just finished the lunar ruins in 4 on gba last night and I'm considering just playing through 5 normally and seeing how far I can get in the series before the 22nd...

I was worried I'd need the rod later so I save scummed a few times until Magissa didn't use drain which was like a one-hit kill on anyone she touched and just barely made it through. Now I'm enduring Y Burns and then I can finally get some jobs going after dealing with Garuda.

Garuda was a joke after getting the drake because you can go to tycoon and get all those weapons from the basement, freelancers can equip them so I had a samurai sword and a bell and whatever else was down there and just powered through the water tower.

I'm seeing everyone saying bard is good but I'm having some troubles as mine is somewhat useless, I'm in the Ronkan ruins right now my team is Zerk/RedMage/Zerk/Bard

The Zerks are strong enough for now and hit hard with their death sickles, My RM has pretty much been acting as a white mage for the most part keeping me alive I have romeo's ballad, alluring air, and mighty march and have played all world 1 Pianos.

Any suggestions on my bard pulling a little more weight?

Bard is a late bloomer. Really, your best bet right now is to slap !Red on the Bard, and Equip Harps on the Red Mage. That'll let Bard do something in boss fights, and give the RM a bit more magical oomph.

Thanks! That makes sense.

I learned today that if you hit something with a death sickle, and they have reflect up, it will bounce the death proc back to your own party....

For most purposes Red would rather have an Enhancer/Enchanter, which you get for free in Istory Falls and The Void. They can make use of assasin dagger, Magus Rod, and Sage Staff.

Yeah Ill grab the istory stuff I just got the sage staff for free raises for now because the only other sealed stuff I needed was the harp and the rune axe.
I'm thinking I'll grab the wonder wand too.

Kyrosiris posted:

You can buy it in World 3, but by the time you can do that, you can just go to Phoenix Tower and Thief's Knife yourself a Rainbow Dress, which has the same effect.

So, sadly, no Sword Dance Up until world 3 after the Pyramid. :(

Hmm, I'm struggling to find a good use for the dancer since my damage is covered by my summoners and I have a white mage for heals and such, I suppose later in the game once I have all the endgame stuff I can pop the dancer in the front row and bard him up with hero rime.

Any suggestions?

Could just make them another platform for !White or !Summon. There's never a bad time for more Titans/Syldras. Dancer can even wear Gaia Gear/wield Air Daggers. :v:

Yep thats what i'll have to do then.

Lilli posted:

I'd probably do sing personally just because it gives your white mage and summoner the ability to drop even heftier nukes faster. Especially during NED where a handful of turns from swift song and hero's rime will make it so your white mage and summoner can wipe neo-exdeath out with syldra before he does anything dangerous.

Good idea too.

I've run into a situation where I've blazed through the crystals and am right at the beginning of going to world two so I dont have galuf in party but I'm underlevelled and titan is wrecking my face.

If I grind now I'm going to have to grind again in world two so galuf can catch up.

Dangit, I was hoping this run wouldnt take long.

What's your situation? If you have a way to confuse enemies, you can confuse some birds somewhere to cast float on you. North Mountain maybe?

I hope I'm not thinking of Drakenvale in prep for the seal guardians but I don't think I am.

EDIT: Found it! I had the same problem last year. If you have !Dance you can confuse the flying cats at North Mountain into casting Float on you.

Sweet, thatll help! I have white mages so I can just cast confuse.

I still need to grind a little though when I get galuf back because level 13 is probably too low for coming into world 2.
