So glad that this event is back! I'll be using the fiesta mod. Last year I liked the idea of dragoons, but they're pretty weak sauce throughout the game. Thankfully Black Mage made decent use out of !Lancet. See you goons on Discord.

    My first ever Triple Crown! Thanks Basch for taking a beating like a champ! #RegPureChaos #FifthJob #BERSERKERRISK  I used the Fiesta Mod GBA version, and started with BRD/BER/ZER/KER. Starting the game as a Bard before learning any songs is not much fun. There were many times where W1 Bards had all of the weaknesses of Thieves, with none of the benefits. !Hide was the only saving grace. !Hide was extremely useful for dodging Siren's Undead phase, draining all of Magissa's mana before summoning Forza. Berserkers were a warm welcome until about halfway through W2, when reflected death procs became more of a nuisance than a benefit. After getting Fifthjob (WHI), I also dropped a dollar to snag Beastmaster at this point so I could kill NED with a Zomberker. Omega was easily Romeo locked, and Shinryu couldn't hit a thing. Bards are by far my favorite class to have completely pimped out in W2 and beyond. I know Chemists can ROFLstomp everything, but there's something nice about not really having to manage inventory or farm !mix reagents. I killed Exdeath/NED by having a zombified berserker with Fire Lash, Aegis Shield, and Reflect Ring at the start of the fight, and had the other 3 party members !Hide until the fight was over. Using fast-forward to speed things up a bit, the fight took about 1 hour. That was fun, but I think I'll bow out until next year. Streaming made the game harder to work into my schedule, and I don't think I can complete another one before the end of August. I'll register again, just to see what jobs I get, but no promises.

Focacciasaurus_Rex posted:Will a zombie monk, or a zombie beserker with !counter, still counterattack enemies that hit them? or does being a zombie disable !counter? Great question! I have no idea. If it does, then the same trick would apply for Monks/!Counter characters. The only trouble is, NED is primarily a caster, so it'll take a bit longer, depending on what triggers !Counters. Reflect ring would be optional too.

Poque posted:Early job unlocking...bad??? A few jobs that the Fiesta Mod/cheat codes would unlock are terribly weak before their intended crystals: Bard's only boon is !Hide which can be used to exhaust the mp of early bosses like Siren, Magissa, and Liquid Flame, and they have a downright hellish time fighting Garula (or Adamantoise I've heard). Chemist doesn't get turtle shells until after Garula, but at least they can buff and heal decently until then. Summoner will have a rough time with Siren. On the other hand, some classes steamroll World 1 from the get go: Samurai is crazy strong throughout world 1. (  )Dancer can confuse lock so many of the early bosses. Freelancer is on the strong end of the early game spectrum, as they can use any equipment, and break rods for early bosses like Magissa, Liquid Flame, and Byblos. The nice thing about PureChaos is that Gilgabot could very well give you a Freelancer from the start anyway.

ultrafilter posted:...Have I missed anyone who's already done this? My third run was #PureChaos #Upgrade Beastmaster -> Dancer -> Berserker -> Monk It was definitely challenging, as Beastmaster was the only class with enough options to make these fights happen. !Calm lock, and waiting for melee crits took down Omega. Mammon + GalaJelly (Which required 3x Dragon Aevis releases to !Catch) releases made Shinryu doable with a pile of Phoenix Downs, and 4x Dragon Aevis + Magic Lamp + Equip Ribbon immunity glitch made NED possible. Monk is NOT a good choice for a final job in #Upgrade.    Doom Goon posted:Okay! I'm doubling this This was so much fun, and was incredibly easy! Extra Spicy gives a few too many job options. May want to restrict this to a One Job Fiesta for future Extra Spicy runs.     Faris Ended up becoming the de facto Bard of the group when she got !Sing very late in the game.

Lenna White Mage Default: !Drink Skill 0: 25 !Summon 1 Skill 1: 75 !Time 2 Skill 2: 125 !Time 3 Skill 3: 175 HP +30% Skill 4: 300 Artful Dodger Lenna Beastmaster Default: !Mineuchi Skill 0: 20 Find Pits Skill 1: 60 !Flirt Skill 2: 100 Barehanded Skill 3: 160 Equip Rods Skill 4: 250 Equip Whip Lenna Dragoon Default: !Recover Skill 0: 25 Berserk Skill 1: 60 !Summon 2 Skill 2: 105 !Summon 3 Skill 3: 170 Equip Axe Skill 4: 270 Equip Sword Lenna Summoner Default: !White 6 Skill 0: 20 Find Passages Skill 1: 60 !Calm Skill 2: 90 !Steal Skill 3: 190 !Blue Skill 4: 360 !Rapidfire  Boldz achieved godlike status when combining innate !Time 6 with !White 6 - Quick Holy all of the things! Early game was a snap with !Zeninage.

Next time I get a summoner, I'm skipping the magic shop summons, and only getting the battle summons to make !Call that much better. Galuf/Krile White Mage Default: !Iainuki Skill 0: 25 Shell Skill 1: 70 !Lance Skill 2: 95 !White 4 Skill 3: 190 !White 5 Skill 4: 410 !Black 6 Galuf/Krile Beastmaster Default: !Calm Skill 0: 20 !Black 1 Skill 1: 60 !Mineuchi Skill 2: 95 Equip Katana Skill 3: 180 !Animals Skill 4: 430 !Summon 5 Galuf/Krile Dragoon Default: !Kick Skill 0: 20 Cover Skill 1: 55 !Black 2 Skill 2: 100 !Focus Skill 3: 170 !Call Skill 4: 270 Equip Harp Galuf/Krile Summoner Default: !Drink Skill 0: 30 !Spellblade 1 Skill 1: 75 !Recover Skill 2: 120 Barehanded Skill 3: 190 Equip Rods Skill 4: 420 !Spellblade 6 Ok, no more  .

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.

Extra Spicy could also work well with a #Natural for balance purposes. Any goons planning on streaming a finale to celebrate another fine summer of FJF? RitzBlues fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Aug 23, 2017 |
