Oh, don't forget about Can of Worms's Final Fantasy V Advance Randomizer for mixing up wacky, unique jobs! The Balance Patch is somewhere there too. I'll likely have the pledge again this year for the Randomizer (I'll write something up later). New post! "UPDATES FOR #FF5FJF2019". Basically, #REGFORBIDDEN is now instead #FORBIDDEN as an exclusive modifier (also means #REGADVANCE is "new" for the GBA jobs), #REGPOPULAR has a new formula... and most importantly there's still another Mode to be announced!Prism posted:Maybe the Wonder Wand breaks but fixes itself with the reset. You don't know. You can't know.  Or it would if it got that far, I mean.

Wow, didn't even know it was gone, I think I use that every year to make sure I don't forget something stupid but necessary (that and Enkibot which I also didn't notice in the OP). Also, I saw this one in the Official Subreddit, somebody made an in-depth Omega post which'll probably be useful. Oh, time to fulfill one and make one! Only Can of Worms and myself completed this one last Fiesta:  And I'm doing it again: $1 per goon up to $20 for every goon that completes a run from now on to the end (must complete a normal run first) using Can Of Worms's Final Fantasy V Advance Randomizer. Make sure to emptyquote this post on a win so I can see it! Oh, and please don't use the FFVFJF site (probably not cool crowning on impossible runs), although if you want to slip a victory into another run's #Up that's probably okay. It's up to you if you want to spoil the Jobs you get or not but I'd recommend it to reduce grinding and magic level confusion. Also, I'll probably wait until next year to actually donate so I can kill two birds with one stone and water that tree. Also, make sure you use the clean unpatched Final Fantasy V Advance US ROM (CRC32 7A24AB0C)! You'll get game-breaking errors with the EU version or patched ROMs that change job stuff.Oh yeah, in it for #;debra, I mean #regWinner #BERSERKERRISK! I also did something truly stupid getting excited for the run and just nigh 100%ed Bravely Second in a seriously ridiculously short amount of time (mostly I just have to wait for Ba'al enemies from their servers). Since I'm out of those games I think next year I'll go back and beat Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light which heavily influenced it! Also, I might dip my toes into something else although I do have a couple other projects I should be putting time into.

Yeah, think people are downplaying how hard Omega is with certain classes! There are absolutely combinations that can't realistically beat it at Level 99. You also should remember some people (I mean, like, non-regulars) use savestates.

Looks like #stream is coming back and working a bit differently! https://twitter.com/FF5ForFutures/status/1135333015524167682 (I know that Tweet is a bit misleading but that's because it cuts it off. It is coming back). I forget what the original method was but eventually it was worked up so it used Twitch Communities which lasted a year or so before it was deprecated. Also: https://twitter.com/FF5ForFutures/status/1135341828801044480 KataraniSword posted:Savestates don't matter too much in FF5's RNG iirc, I think it's seeded in such a way that loading states mid-battle will lead to the same results every time unless you choose different actions, and with Omega you really can't afford to dick around for RNG manipulation. KataraniSword posted:I think you're downplaying what a difference being Lv99 over (as an example) Lv50 is. That's basically your magic (mostly Succubus Kiss if you have a chemist) being 50% more accurate and its status effects being 50% less accurate (numerically; actual reduction may be lower). It turns something like Circle from a legitimate threat to potentially a dead turn on Omega's part, which is huge. Plus you have 5000-6000 HP by that point so you don't get reduced to a fine red mist immediately.

Basically streaming is not up and running yet (I mean, the Fiesta hasn't even started yet!), more details will come soon (I believe the linking thing is because of the newer Twitch API). But you can see from this test and the respective Players listing how it'll likely work on the Twitter and display side.

Just a reminder that if you're reflecting a team against Omega that the healing number shown from Atomic Fires is a lot less than it really is Damnit...Here's another fun fact, confusing a zombie doesn't make the zombie attack enemies or anything like that. How you'd confuse a zombie I'll leave as an exercise for the reader (the answer is not tofu brains}.

 Photographic proof of an idiot accidentally hitting the fast forward button at the end  Thankfully it wouldn't have been bad as it's just the ol' Berserk+Mirage Vest glitch anyway. Not as bad as when I do it with Omega... Not the trickiest Omega but not a very high damage one either (Gungir were under mid-1000s and riskier boosted Ramuhs weren't much better, 3 max per Search reflect). But really rather safe with Carbuncle (trying to NOT reflect Atomic Rays this time) and Blue Mage specialties (White Wind through Reflects, Mighty Guard of course, and shield capabilities on Butes there who ended up just using a Flame Shield). I didn't even have to use the Status Equipment glitch although it did make it longer since Mute blocks Summon and White and Aegis Shield has Stone protection.  Seriously, boosted Syldra is like cheating (the Mighty Guard didn't hurt but Golem was very good too). I don't think I've ever had an easier Neo Exdeath.

Exdeath at the end of World 2 was the hardest part I think (there were others, I didn't just want to Quick Leak everything!). I knew it was possible at LV 23 (thanks Comet, Hastega, and Swift Song) but boy do you not want to eat a 2/3 chance of Zombie Breath after the 7th round. I ended up having to use almost all my collected Phoenix Downs just so I could eat turns. Oh, I also totally forgot I could use !Hide on Twintania, whoops! Thankfully Comet and Meteor are surprisingly good. But, yeah, by the end I was down to one Phoenix Down. Not something you want to find out when you're in deep in The Rift!   Get over yourself!  Quick Leak (Poison Rod isn't AE and is selectable btw).  Mirage Vest glitch but actually it took a few goes not to wipe (although I could've just used Quick Leak). Only the Ranger had the capability for the Mirage Vest but thankfully I could use Elven Mantle due to Time Mage (Apollo Harp really helped out too, did that instead of potentially Rapid Fire or !Time. Probably should've used Dark Bow though, whoops).  Osci posted:My Randomizer

Final tally came in at 70 cutscenes, which is... significantly less than I thought it would be. Turns out the party doesn't have much to say about most of world 3. World 1 actually had more cutscenes than the other two combined.

  (Lenna getting real sick of the wishy-washiness) Run 3 down! This one had some rough spots, Monk early on had to deal with a painful Liquid Flame/Byblos (Beastmaster was my fourth). Barehanded inheriting 24 STR (the most) was nice but Monk, for having so much HP, is really fragile by itself and I didn't get nearly enough levels for it to feel any good. Not much synergy and Thief in addition really doubled down on that "Ugh, you're dead again?" feeling. IMO Beastmaster is one of those super-useful classes where dealing with it is like repeatedly stubbing your toe over and over again through the whole game and it's hindered that you get Catch as its last ability. I like Samurai quite a lot (dodging, shielding, criting, money-throwing, hasteing, initiative, insta-killer) but I didn't get to use !Iainuki much (it's an 850 ABP investment after all)!  First time I've ever done Calm locking! It took awhile to get correctly and oh boy does it take forever to get enough crits with Barehanded or Katanas. I winged it on Katanas (Fist's crits are 8% twice btw) but I made the mistake of thinking that the critical rate was the same for each katana until I looked it up afterwards (whoops!).  The ol' Mirage Vest glitch technically, with reflecting Mammon and also using Galajelly (I think I used Mythril Knife or something from the back row to not kill it). With Samurai (both extra evasion and Masamune Haste meaning Elven Mantle) and Blind that meant I was in no danger of messing this one up, although it was pretty frustrating having to set everything up. A common complaint with Beastmaster. Oh, also had Dragon's Whiskers which meant it took little time (fun fact, it uses the Bows Strong vs. Creature formula which also halves Shinryu's 20% evasion along with the Strong vs bonus).  This was... fairly bad. After a few wipes I decided to swap jobs around due to ABP gaps and catch some Dragon Aevises (thanks Control). I had set up a Crystelle catch for Mighty Guard earlier which was also something of a nightmare, made worse with Monk's countering. Wiped a couple more times until I switched to Zeninage/Magic Lamp and more Elixirs and Gold Needles/Phoenix Downs than I figured I'd need. Just not enough HP and armor I think (well, for 3/4 of my party) w/ HP+30% not being very reasonable or cheap.

  Whoa, the mouth on her! Because of when the jobs popped up I had Red Mage only through World 1 which was actually mostly a breeze. Mythril Swords are OK up 'til spells. Archaesaurus was a pain though because the last form is immune to magic and he can deal it out while I had to plink at him (and I had grinded levels from getting items because I knew I'd be getting Chemist). I actually let out a curse when I saw I got Mystic Knight on my last roll because I wanted it for my last run but oh well. After World 1, well, I had Chemist and Mystic Knight so, you know.  Chemist (and Mystic Knight).  Chemist.  Chemist. 1234567890num posted:My Randomizer

  Run 5 down just in time for Awful Summer Jam 2019! That makes every class and the RNG was nice enough to give me all Triple Crowns, too! I've mentioned it before but I've been wanting to do that since like the second year I've participated, so I'm very thankful for the incentive to pull it off! There's a few other things I want to do (including a Randomizer run) so I'm not quite done with FFV yet!  Job Fair tweets. Total Job Fair amount: $18  OMG, poor Shinryu. Just keep missing on the Knight and eating Sword Dances. I think technically it hit Blink(1) off once.  I didn't bother figuring out that the Status Equipment glitch didn't work before I finished but thankfully I got this after quite a few tries. No Dancer shenanigans here, everyone used Thundagas on reflected Searches. Black Mage had Equip Shield for the Fire Shield and Maelstroms caused many wipes (didn't bother shield swapping because Black Mage's speed was a problem and I'd occasionally miss the reflect in time. I did swap dagger to a Thunder Rod and back though). 4x reflected Thundagas does a ton of damage so this was about the 3rd or 4th reflect pattern due to healing and whatnot.  Sword Dances (and Flare plus an ending Magic Lamp) made short work of Neo Exdeath, along with a Ribbon and two Aegis Shields. With this party I could also kill the True Superboss:

e: f;b If you reflect his Search (with Carbunkle lasting until his Search which occurs after hitting twice in a row in his AI script) his counters will only hit himself until his next attack. Well, that next attack if it's Atomic Ray (or is it the Flame Thrower?) might target on himself can be funky and hit a person if I'm remembering right but it's generally acceptable. Also, if you have enough speed and items you could just revive back from Rocket Punches and hope you don't get Encircle enough for it to matter but I probably wouldn't without a class with Haste (or Shields) so you can have Fire absorption or Reflect Rings. Also, for extra safety against that Earthquake you'll want to get Floated (using the eagle or stingray confuse trick) and you'll still have to deal with the utter dread that is Sap+Maelstrom. blakelmenakle posted:My Randomizer

Just under the wire I rushed through the last world of my own Randomizer ! I didn't have time to do Omega but it was very possible and I probably could've done it if I literally had like another day. The run was kind of boring this time, here's my list (Mild, which I think I might require next year?): Knight (2nd and 4th) -- Default: !Steal -- Skill 0: 15 Sprint -- Skill 1: 40 !Summon 2 -- Skill 2: 95 Shirahadori -- Skill 3: 150 !Summon 4 -- Skill 4: 360 !Black 6 Ninja (1st job) -- Default: !Hide -- Skill 0: 10 HP +10% -- Skill 1: 75 !Time 2 -- Skill 2: 110 Equip Katana -- Skill 3: 180 HP +30% -- Skill 4: 290 Equip Shield Samurai (3rd job) -- Default: !Scan -- Skill 0: 15 Pharmacology -- Skill 1: 40 !White 3 -- Skill 2: 80 !Black 4 -- Skill 3: 200 !White 5 -- Skill 4: 370 !Summon 5 As you can see, I had good defense, offense, speed, summons, and magic. The end game basically boiled down to abusing initiative and boosted Syldra. !Time2 meant I could Slow and Haste which was great especially before World 3. !Steal meant I could get Twin Lances for my Ninja before Drakenvale for fun! I even had no flees up until today and picked Chicken Knife anyway. Oh, like last year, here's my random menu color (R2, G9, B0, yikes btw):  And here's the screens:   I'm planning on making one last post. We'll see!
