WilliamAnderson posted:This year I will actually finish more than one run. First run will be SNES Classic with GBA translation patch, and then second will be Matrix because I hate myself. There's the project demi version which removes all the cutscenes and has optional 2x/4x exp and abp mods and "bosses give exp and abp" mods. Gotta deal with the rpge translation though which kinda sucks

Poque posted:I scream into the Void about it every year, but I really can't handle the GBA version. I'm too used to the larger field of view from SNES for the updated translation to matter (especially since I fast forward through 80% of the game at this point) and I'm too lazy to patch out the godawful GBA soundtrack. I think there is a patch that puts the gba translation into the snes version now. Not sure though big downside of the snes version imo is all the fake NED spots that mess up rapid fire and meteo edit: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3687/ GBA script port MagusDraco fucked around with this message at 15:31 on May 23, 2019 |

They also just started beta testing an update to project demi that rolls in most of the new non randomizer features that were added to Career Day (like being able to toggle the exp/abp multiplier between 1, 2, and 4 in game instead of having to patch a new rom)

OzFactor posted:I would also doubt it works. I'm far from one of you goofy FF5 Mechanics Wizards but it seems like whatever they had to do to change his Reset to let him cast it while Berserked would also let him cast it with no MP, i.e. it might not be a spell anymore. Well the mage masher silence doesn't work either but when he casts silence reflected onto himself it does stop the reset? Going by old fiesta posts in the fjf official reddit that showed up for someone playing the game on an iphone so that person could have just been wrong but maybe it literally checks for the spell cast from either omniscient or a party member and differentiates from weapons casting the spell or something. Or it just triggers the reset before the mage masher casts silence since you did an attack.

Mystic Knight / Thief / Beastmaster / Ranger This run was rough at times early on between Sol Cannon being a jerk and I forgot to catch something for bridge greg so he started doing 1000 damage jumps. After getting past that though the rest of W2 and all of W3 was easy besides Omega 'cause beastmaster calmlock doesn't work on him on the SNES. I had to grind up to level 50 to pull the fight off and it still took like 4 attempts. Shinryu wasn't that bad since Beastmaster could still berserk and blind him. NED was a cakewalk after taking out half of him with the lamp and break blade. Project Demi's pretty nice. Skipping cutscenes and turning off encounters is really useful

Ritznit posted:Alright, time for me to bust out a Pulled this one off without too much issue thanks to Cannoneer. Run 4: Advance Run - Blue Mage, Red Mage, Ranger, Cannoneer  Open Fire is a great single target ability until everyone else starts catching up in late W2. Still good after that but isn't as OP anymore. Blue Mage carried this team until Ranger came online with Rapid Fire Chicken Knife/other strong weapons. Red Mage was there to provide moral support/items after I got into W2. I bought 27 of each rod for W2 and W3 and didn't break any of them. Oh well.  Omega: Cannoneer was able to Slow Omega with Combine using Turtle Shells. After that it was just a matter of firing like 70 Iron Drafts at him for 820-880 damage a shot. He doesn't react to HP damage when you fire a status shot at him with cannoneer if the status would not effect him. I just had to use blue to white wind and mighty guard through any damage from a slowed Omega's normal AI routine. Basically didn't have to deal with Encircle or Mustard Bomb. He only Atomic Rayed once. I did have to use an elixir or two when Blue ran out of MP/Omega got a quick wave cannon -> maelstrom in and killed 2 people. At the end I dropped 5,000 damage worth of lightning scroll shots to finish him off and Lenna ate a rainbow wind and a couple rockets for her trouble.  Shinryu was easy. Cannoneer can berserk and blind him with !combine via Power drink and Ash. You only get two ash throughout the game and I had to use both to get Blind to stick. Cannoneer has a 75% chance to apply a status shot and it took two this time. After that it was just Faris rapid fire chicken knifing and everyone else using combine -> Dragon Fang shot to do double damage to Shinryuu (ended up being 3900ish) or using phoenix downs to pick up who was dead.  NED got off one Almagest and I had shell from mighty guard. He was never a threat. I alternated between Dragon Shot for Grand Croif and Needle Shot for 3000 damage to all parts. Faris just rapid fire chicken knifed for 1700ish damage a hit. NED didn't get to Grand Cross. Almagest died shortly afterwards. The Lamp killed a slowed wizard bones with odin. Cannoneer is OP as gently caress once you get Combine. It's just too bad you can't buy any of the shots until after you get all the legendary weapons from the sealed castle.

I tried to hit 9999 with turtle soup but I needed more strength. Oh well 9900 is close enough.  Omega: Killed with a single Geo with !Combine  Shinryu: Blind and Berserked by !Combine  NED: All the chemist buffs, lvl 99+ from dragon power, and a berserked Geo holding the Brave Blade.

Run 6: Monk, Dancer, Bard, Gladiator Gladiator is cool. I didn't feel like grinding up enough to get bladeblitz though or go kill Omega or whatever. Lvl 25-28 team for this one. I was afraid I'd run out of golden needles from white hole (used like 15 of the 30 I had brought with me). Whatevs this team had so much offense thanks to bard's buffs that lamp bahamut did 9999 damage and swords dance chicken knife overflowed to 1216. I'm glad I did have that offense because the couple times I messed around/missed al-majisti I got owned by almagest. This team was not gonna live through it.    One more run and I'll have played as all 25 jobs this fiesta (not about to count necromancer) MagusDraco fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Jul 1, 2019 |

Took me 7 runs but I went above and beyond. 25 jobs out of 25 were used in this fiesta. God Oracle is weird but the cleansing - blessing chain saved my butt on NED. My team couldn't eat almagest so I had to jump over it with my sole dragoon then eat whatever attack came next followed by grand cross before I could resurrect people. One of the times was a 600ish damage attack while the dragoon had 320 health. Blessing healed him to full right as he landed and right before NED sent that physical attack his way. Run 7: Black Mage, Time Mage, Dragoon, Oracle NED was a pain in the loving rear end due to the aforementioned not enough health to survive almagest and not enough damage to kill almagest. I struggled to get all 4 party members back up a couple times. NED would just kill one as soon as 2 were up. It sucked. Had to jump over like 4 or 5 Almagests. I should have just died and killed a mover to get jump on everyone. Would have made life much easier. Aaaanyway. Shinryu died to a bunch of Agas and Meteors after a power staff berserked him.  NED died to perservence and luck  25 outta 25 jobs.  Job Fair info: Run 5: $4 to put in Geo and Knight  Run 6: $8 to put in Monk, Dancer, and Gladiator  Run 7: $9 to put in Time Mage, Dragoon, and Oracle.  Job Fair total $21 edit: I think I'm done for awhile. That was a lot of Fiesta over a few weeks. MagusDraco fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Jul 3, 2019 |

Alternatively they can just use cannoneer to slow omega with slow cannon (gotta do all 4 tablet dungeons to get cannoneer shots unlocked) and then use vulner cannon to attack omega with everyone without omega counter attacking. Makes the fight far more manageable when omega is slowed and never used rockets, mustard bombs, or encircle. Edit: means they have to grind out !combine on everyone but that's not hard with Bal basement and L5Death. Slow cannon is turtle shell + any cannon shot (blitz does the most damage). Vulner cannon is iron draft + any cannon shot. It'll do like 800ish damage depending on your level but it will be faster than a quickleak Cannoneer can also berserk and blind shinryu so long as you still have the two ash items for blinding shin.

Run 8 Pure Chaos + Fifth Job: Chemist, Black Mage, Samurai, Well that was really easy. Like the easiest Omega ever thanks to chemistry, reflect, and having the samurai wear a diamond helm and flame shield while the black mage got boosted to lvl 79 or 80 so they could land 9999 damage Thundagas on Omega. Shinryu was the old "berserk and blind" standby (thanks !mix). NED I kinda just gave everyone all the dragonfangs and holy waters they could handle. Bunch of lvl 99+ jerks with double hp, heavy, death shield, absorb fire/ice/lightning, and dragon defense kiiiinda murdered NED. He didn't get off almagest or grand cross.

ZypherIM posted:So I've got thief-summoner-ninja so far. With the ninja pull there really isn't a reason to run multiple thieves or to bother with trying to max that job out at all right? Side question, does magic help with ninja scroll damage at all? Your magic stat does improve scroll damage. You'll want to get dualwield on the thief and ninja and also put summon on the ninja to make scrolls do more damage. Finally you'll want to steal some twinblades from the art in bal basement.
