I've been using the standard VBA emulator for three years now and never had a problem with the sound patch. What's the exact issue?

Even in the fixed GBA version, Blind doesn't matter much, because almost no character has an incentive to attack normally and special moves tend to always hit.

Note that the Sketch glitch only appears in the original version of the game. Most SNES copies contain version 1.1, which fixed it. Which is good, because that glitch can literally make your cartridge unuseable.

Well, Strago has to observe an attack to learn it, and he obviously can't do that if he's blind.

Look Sharp! posted:I tweeted and donated (first time!) for a reroll. How are donations confirmed and associated with my twitter profile? I linked my job fair tweet in my donation just in case. RK manually goes through Job Fair tweets, so the new class might take a while to show up. I don't believe you get an actual Twitter notification either. Just keep periodically checking your player page.

Bruceski posted:Byblos's wind slash is nasty with my team but I have blue access. Is Magic Hammer useful for anything later that would make it worth braving the RNG instead of nuking him down? You could use it to prevent Gilgamesh on the Big Bridge from buffing up, but that's more clever than useful.

The cool thing about Mind Blast (well, aside from the sound effect) is that its Paralyze effect is guaranteed to work as long as the enemy is vulnerable to it. Not having to deal with Magic Evasion allows you to easily stunlock the Grand Cross part of Neo Exdeath. I also don't think the second tablet dungeon is that uncommon a place to visit for Fiesta teams. Lots of parties can use some of its equipment. Or a fourth legendary weapon. Or access to Fork Tower.

Fhqwhgads posted:Just hit the Fire crystal and Gilgabot has given me Knight/Mystic Knight/Ninja/? so far. What's better for a Mystic Knight? Two Handing or Dual Wielding? Also, is this setup decent so far? Kind of worried about not having mages yet (Normal Run). You're probably not going to get Dual-Wield until World 3, so Two-Handed will be your default option for most of the game. Late-game, dual-wielding is generally slightly better because it lets you bypass the damage cap. Though there are some fights where you'll probably rather have a shield and Equip Swords instead. And don't worry about your setup. Those three are among the strongest physical classes in the game.

, but if I do that I don't know if I'll have the offense needed to take down Shinryu; Apollo Harp is beastly against him, but without Chicken Dance support it probably won't get the job done quickly enough.

I believe I had the exact same team last year. The fun really starts once you get Apollo's Harp. Cavelcade posted:It's been too long since I've played this game, is Berserker actually bad, or is it just bad to have all Berserkers all the time? Both, kinda. They're slow (and bugged, so their first turn comes much later than anybody else's), they tend to mess up strategies revolving around Sleep, Confuse, !Control, or anything like that, they often hit for half-damage if there are targets in the back-row, they can't focus down a particular enemy, their weapons are inaccurate and do random damage, they can't switch rows or equipment in battle, and they just plain don't benefit from all active abilities which don't confer stats. All that being said, they are very durable and can actually do respectable damage under the right conditions (especially with a useful passive). Moreover, unlike the other commonly-cited "worst" classes (Red Mage, Monk, Geomancer), their damage doesn't get continually worse as you progress through the game. Having one definitely isn't the worst thing in the world. Edit: I should point out that the iOS release adressed some of these issues, making the class considerably stronger overall.

wizard on a water slide posted:Here's a fun thought question: if you could pick a class never to roll again - just you get one permanent exception for your Fiesta account, and after you pick it, it'll never show up in any mode - what would you choose? Probably White Mage honestly. Partly because it trivialises the entire game (and not in a fun way like Blue Mage or Beastmaster) and partly because the trip to the Water Crystal is just so slow.

DoubleCakes posted:Is it just me or are there way more berserkers in this Fiesta? It seems like everyone got a Berserker, and if the option allowed it, multiple Berserker? Was the fruits of the Berserkertree abundant this year? Everyone getting at least one Berserker has been the case for a few years now, but there do seem to be more triple or even quadruple Zerk parties this time around. Could be that fewer players are running Chaos this year since it's no longer a new option, so the same amount of Berserkers is split among fewer teams.

 I've come to the conclusion that I do not like the Fifth Job command. derra posted:I'm not sure how/where FF5 rounds, but I have about an 8.2% chance to kill a guardian on hit, and a .000000494 percent chance after your 224 hits. This looks about right. Which is why I assume it happening to me was a result of the game somehow bugging out.

The Magic Bow just baffles me. I initially thought its lack of attack power was a bug, but given that none of the re-releases bothered to fix it, I suppose it has to be intentional.Rirse posted:By the way, is there any use to the curse ring like the FFVI version, or it just vendor trash? I am tired of it auto equipping anytime I change a skill out. It'd be a pretty sweet accessory if you didn't get Hermes Sandals ten minutes after you find it.

The paradox of !Dualcast is that all classes which can use it are already very powerful without it, so there's never really a reason to grind it out. Just slap !White or !Sing on the Red Mage, and call it a day.

Beef Hardcheese posted:First time doing the Fiesta. I've got Monk, Summoner, Ranger, and Dragoon. (Will have Dragoon I'm about to hit the flying fortress). Any tips? I'm stocking up on elemental rods and making sure I get Ramuh, other than that I don't know what I should be doing... !Summon is going to be your main offensive tool until you learn !Rapid Fire. If you've never played the game before, it's not a bad idea to look up where you can find all summons because some of them are somewhat hidden and pretty much all are useful (well, I've never found a good use for Bahamut, but I'm sure someone will prove me wrong).

Bruceski posted:Does doublehand not work with Goblin Punch? I assumed it would since it changes the sheet damage, but unless I missed some variable in the damage it's not. Goblin Punch uses a similar damage formula to a normal attack but does not count as a normal attack itself, so Two-Handed has no effect. Dual-Wield works, though. Bruceski posted:Also, the killer bow is weird. No proc effect, the target just dies. I wouldn't even have noticed it was happening if I hadn't one-shot a reflect knight with 250 damage. It even works on non-heavy undead. Yeah, the Killer Bow is like Odin in that it doesn't actually care about the target's death immunity, only whether or not it's Heavy. AFAIK, it also doesn't use the normal spell hit determination formula, so it's always a straight 8% to kill on a hit.

Kashuno posted:What's the average level to finish this game? I feel like I'm heavily overleveled right now (by necessity) but I was just curious because I've never done a non-fjf run My very first playthrough of this game ended somewhere around 40-45. Mind you, that's with doing just about every optional task and rarely running from random encounters. Most of my Fiesta runs end up somewhere in the early to mid 30s, with Neo-Exdeath usually being the deciding factor. A lot of teams don't care too much about levels in the endgame because of all the powerful gear and abilities you accumulate, but some party compositions have no choice but to grind enough HP for tanking Almagest.

derra posted:This so hard. Listen to this wise man. A Red Mage with an Ancient Sword and a Power Staff is amazing. If they had Blind access they would be one of the best classes. Yeah, in a Fiesta run, versatility counts for a lot, which is why I'd rate Red Mages above the other commonly-considered "worst classes" (both for their plethora of options and for synergising well with almost every other job). Monk, Geomancer, Berserker, and Dragoon are all one-trick ponies, and half of them aren't even good at the one trick they do.

berenzen posted:So what would you consider the slowest possible Chaos 750 team? Because I got TIM/WHM/RED/TIM>GEO, and holy poo poo I'm dreading trying to slog through world 2 and 3 with this team. Yeah, it's a triple crown, but at the cost of my sanity. It's not so bad. Level up in the few places where Geomancer or White Mage shine offensively (Ronka Ruins, Drakenvale, Great Sea Trench) and just run away from everything else. Boss fights will take a while until you get Holy, but a surprising number of World 2 bosses aren't Heavy and it's not like you're in any danger of ever dying.

JerikTelorian posted:With this party, is there anything else I should do before making a run at the rift? If this is your first time beating FFV, you might as well explore the other tablet dungeons and Phoenix Tower for novelty's sake, especially since your team has no trouble killing them (I think there's like one enemy in all three dungeons combined that doesn't die instantly to Odin). Whether or not you'll flee from everything in the final dungeon is up to you. You certainly don't need the extra levels, but Syldra/Odin/Leviathan clear house in there anyway.

JerikTelorian posted:With Phoenix I was able to rez the party (with max MP!) and seal the deal with some Boosted Syldras. A fun ending for sure. Thanks for the help all! Yeah, one thing that's often forgotten about Phoenix is that it revives the target with full HP and full MP, so with more than one Summoner, you can essentially keep your MP going indefinitely. Which I suppose would be more useful if MP conservation was ever a big concern, but hey. I'm glad to see you enjoyed your first Fiesta run. Hopefully, you'll be able to participate again. derra posted:Just curios, why does everyone say Ranger sucks? Rapidfire always hits and ignores defense. The only reason it's not the default best option is because it specifically triggers two sets of counters. For Omega or in general? For Omega, they're great. In general, they're pretty meh until you get !Rapid Fire.

Yeah, instant access to Berserk without any MP cost or having to continually cycle through the Wonder Wand is pretty nice. A surprising number of enemies in this game can be shut down with the spell, especially since it never misses.

OzFactor posted:So my next party is Thief - Knight - Geomancer - Dragoon. That's... pretty bad! I feel like this might be one of the very rare occasions where I actually need the Brave Blade. Talk me out of it! I usually never talk people out of Brave Blade runs, but this team won't have many issues with bosses in World 3, while several random encounters will be really annoying for them, so you might want to reconsider. Nasgate posted:There are more good swords available than daggers, you have two ways around chicken knife flee, you have an easy shinryu for an alternative sword, and iirc CK gets the Lance !jump bonus in one of the versions. I don't recall the Chicken Knife getting the bonus damage with !Jump. The Twin Lance's double attack works correctly on the iOS version though, so a Thief with !Jump is a genuinely good idea for World 2 and arguably most of World 3 as well. Also, I wouldn't consider Shinryu easy with this team.

Slow doesn't have a duration, but good luck getting it through Omega's insane level and magic evasion. Thankfully, you don't really need to, because a Chemist can make herself immune to all attacks except Wave Cannon, which is never fatal.
