Every completed fiesta with Basch will have me give up $5 to charity.(up to a max of $200) COMPLETE!

I guess I should donate a $5 late fee then.

Now I really want FFXII fiesta. Theres 12 jobs available so randomizing them can lead to some funky parties. Also depending whether you use single or dual job system

I originally thought it wouldn't work due to time, but ignoring completionism it looks like FFV is about 4 (speedrun) to 30 (normal) hours long while FFXII is 6 (speedrun) to 60 (normal) hours long. Both games can now be played with fast forward features. It's a worse ratio for completionist runs but the whole point of the Fiesta is to kill those grinding, elixer-hoarding tenancies that get in the way of interacting with the mechanics and enjoying the game.

I figure at this point the main obstacles are
1. RK has some questionable taste and thus hates everything Matsuno was involved in
2. Zodiac Age is a PS4 exclusive, which gives it a much smaller player base than a 25 year old game that runs on just about anything

I'd give it a few years.

What's the definitive version? SNES?

So after beating the CTHC I can say it just doesn't seem very suited to the fiesta format. The graphics are colorful, the characters are charming, and it's just the right length, but the gameplay just doesn't provide variety for repeat playthroughs. The abilities are stripped down to physical attacks, magical attacks, healing, and the basic JRPG buffs and most characters have a fairly well defined place on the physical attacker/magical attacker/support spectrum. Most characters are proficient at at least two of these so it's unlikely to roll a lopsided party, unlike the FJF where you're pretty much guaranteed to be missing something essential and have one or two gimmick jobs.

But in other news,

PC port will happen someday. I have faith. I wouldn't usually but they've ported everything else including X/X-2 HD and WOFF to PC so SE has finally realized there's money in PC ports.
