Greetings, Fiesta-havers, I've started a small project to make this year's Fiesta extra spicy! It's about 60% done, but I just finished coding one of the more complex pieces, so here's a preview:

Hello, Fiesta veterans. Do you find your Fiesta runs lacking? Are you getting tired of seeing awful Geomancers and boring Dragoons in your Fiesta party? Do you wish you could have something more... exciting? Try spicing up your next Fiesta with a new... Final Fantasy V Advance RandomizerJust drag a Final Fantasy V Advance (US only!) ROM onto the randomizer and get two randomized ROMs in return! You can even use patched ROMs, as long as they don't change job skills. That's right, you can randomize Fiesta Patch and Sound Patch if that's what your heart desires! The program will also spit out two text files that summarize the changes in each ROM. The first ROM you'll get is the Mild edition, which randomizes what the default skill of a job is, and the skill tree (i.e. what skills you get when you level it up.) The second ROM is the Extra Spicy edition, which does the same thing as the Mild edition... ...except it's different for every character!!!That's right, in the Extra Spicy ROM, a Bartz Monk will have a different skill loadout than a Faris Monk. For example: code:

Bufuman posted:I will openly admit that I had to savestate abuse this one, because as I mentioned earlier, I HAD NO !ITEM COMMAND because the Balance Mod failed to add it to my list of abilities when switching to Mime (seriously Can of Worms, if you're reading this please look into that, I wouldn't want anyone else to get stuck without that command when they really need it, this was NOT a fun battle). Doom Goon posted:Okay! I'm doubling this I'm pretty annoyed that this summer sapped all my free time due to real life stuff, didn't even get the chance to update balance mod!  I'm still stuck on my first Fiesta run too, just finished Big Bridge... gotta wrap this up!

again from last time to $1 per goon who finishes a Randomizer run before the end (up to $20 total). I also meant to post this a few days ago (whoops!) so I'll extend it a few days as well. Check the post.

Getting the Death proc is so swingy. I had two rounds where the first three crystals fell in a few swings but the last crystal would just absolutely not budge. I even had it setup so everyone was Mini with Regen, and the crystal had regen so I had to do was set the emulator on fastforward and wait for the proc and IT. NEVER. CAME. Eventually I reset, and on that try the crystals fell almost immediately.

Finally wrapped up my Extra Spicy run... and my only run...   It was a fresh experience compared to a standard FF5 playthrough and had a lot of unique moments. I started off with Knight, and Bartz lucked in to the best ability with !Dance although Faris had !Smoke to help with escapes. !Dance alone was enough to mow down most enemies in World 1. Then I got Berserker since I Berserker Risked, and I hit my first decision point: Who to make Berserkers? Galuf had the worst skill tree (Counter, !Flirt, Vigilance, !Gaia and Equip Harp...) so he was out, but everyone else had some solid stuff. Lenna in particular had Dual Wield and !Drink, but I made Bartz the berserker so for the majority of the run as my future jobs were better on the other characters. My other two jobs were Bard and Samurai, and my Bards were pretty interesting since they had !Spellblade 6 (Bartz), !White 6 (Lenna), !Black 6 (Galuf) and !Dualcast (Faris) between them. The Samurais were more lackluster with !Catch (Bartz), !Mineuchi (Lenna), !Dance (Galuf) and !Kick (Faris)... which turned out to be completely useless so I'll be removing that from the randomizer when I get around to it. My game plan for skill collecting was to have Galuf pick up !Call in the Knight tree, Lenna would pick up !White 4 and !Black 5 in the Samurai tree while Faris stayed as a Bard to serve as a dualcaster, eventually getting !Time 4 and Two-Handed. Interestingly, I switched Krile to Bard to have some more offense for the world 2 Exdeath fight which turned out to be the right decision. Once everyone picked up their skills, I rotated Bard to Krile to have some offensive magic and switched Lenna to Samurai to pick up Equip Rods and Faris to Samurai to fill the gap until I beat the Pyramid, at which point Faris became the Berserker since she had no more worthwhile skills to use now that I had Hermes Sandals, and Bartz and Krile entered their roles as a dancing duo while Lenna served as a healer backup. The final team set up for NED ended up being a Dancing Bartz with !Time and Excalibur, healer Lenna with Equip Rods for access to the Healing Staff and the Sage Staff, Dancing Krile with !Call for some judicious Golem summons and Berserker Faris. The NED fight was tense as Lenna did not have the HP to survive Almagest, even with Shell so I was constantly reviving her. Eventually I got NED into his desperation mode and Lenna got killed, but he was one swing away from death! Overall it was a fun experience, but I did pick up on some things to fix with the randomizer for the future:

), was the Mythril Spear adjusted to be earth elemental? Because it's hitting for 0 damage against Archeoaevis and that's the only explanation I can think of. My Trident and the various daggers are hitting for normal damage, but obviously the former will be out for the 4th and 5th phases of the fight and I can't doublehand the latter.
