 Life's Too Short I will donate $5 for every run that doesn't use Reflect Rings randomly dropped by or stolen from enemies. It's okay to use the guaranteed drop from Leviathan and the ring found in Istory Falls. I'll donate an additional $5 if you do this and beat Exdeath in World 2 at or under level 25, on all characters. nrook fucked around with this message at 02:31 on May 25, 2022 |

I just got an unexpected windfall, so here's another I've been considering. (Friendly reminder that you don't need to beat Leviathan, you can just leave after grabbing the tablet!  )Fulfilled by Eepies, Red Metal, Serene Dragon, Odysseus S. Grant, Zarick, ArashiKurobara, Mandoric, Darkoni, Ace Transmuter, Modoh, Rasamune, nrook, Tergaso, Unreal_One, oldskool, and subujun!

Are You Sure You're Using That Thing Correctly?: $1 per run (up to $25) for anyone who takes a picture of themselves attacking Omega with a class that's wielding a completely inappropriate weapon. This is for charity so you don't actually have to KILL Omega like this, I just want to see Chemists wielding axes smacking the big dumb robot.

 First: So I ended up enjoying Artifact Adventure (the Japanese indie JRPG for May's FJF challenge) quite a lot! I actually didn't find the meat walls that bad except I got Death's Door (kinda the game's dungeon Teleport) somewhat mid-game. I'd just write a note and come back later. I'd say overall I enjoyed it more than a lot of the Final Fantasy games I played this year though actually my gut says it's more Dragon Quest inspired. It's not perfect especially for a job thing (I basically randomly got one of the top class set-ups, and really every group should have at least one Shaman b/c of how harsh the healing/MP system is and how bad consumables are) but I completed the game without running, got all the Jar Goblins by myself (randomly I was revisiting a dungeon trying to find a temple and grabbed the last one I missed lol), AND beat the super secret boss. I would've liked some boss weaknesses but I get it, Monk solves all problems. One of the things I liked about it was how quests and dungeons could really have rewards that mattered. Story-wise I found it kinda dark and unnerving at times which was interesting. I'm not sure how their other two games are (okay, one which was remastered more or less) but I might just have to check it out sometime. Second: Looks like @revenantkioku was on a podcast recently, not sure if it's any good but I'll bring it up again if I found it particularly interesting. Finally: Here's my post about Final Fantasy V Pixel that was near the end of the last thread, of particular interest if you care about Omega and... Gil Turtle?: Doom Goon posted:Totally forgot, I went through all this work testing FFV against the new patch (no changes) and typing up a Steam post and forgot to post it here! I want to make an ongoing community effort bug post there but we'll see how it goes. Feel free to bump it if you wish.

My actual first is for getting a 100% complete Bestiary (up to 10 runs and $40, 1 run per unique player).

The bestiary for GBA/Matrix includes the Sealed Temple enemies. Are you going to require those?

A bonus $5 will be added for each of the first two people who do this, but it's optional for this even if playing on those versions.

I have never participated in this, so I guess I might as well give it a try. I haven't played FFV since the year 2000 on ZSNES using some fan-translated ROM. That's... been a while. Questions: 1) is the new shiny remaster available on Steam a good one to play? 2) I tried to sign up with my Twitter account and was met with this screen and am pretty  about ALL the permissions this thing apparently needs, like, is this normal??

1) If that's the easiest way for you to play the game, and/or you don't want to mess with emulators and  or getting your hands on 20 year old hardware, yeah. It's not the best version, except in a few very niche corner cases, but it's a solid one, and the differences are mostly things you likely won't even notice if you aren't looking for them. (Edit: Though there are still a few weird bugs here and there.)2) I use a throwaway side twitter, so I didn't think much of whatever permissions it asked for. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 10:36 on May 24, 2022 |

Guessing this probably just guarantees two 750 jobs and two no750 jobs. Not that exciting for me personally, but nice for people who like having balanced parties. Maybe there's an extra twist, though?

My initial guess was 750 for Wind & Water (where the actual rod-breaking classes are) and then No750 for Fire & Earth, but it could certainly get... weirder than that.

As gde mentioned if its the version you can get its the version to play. Like 95% of the strategies that someone would offer to give you in this thread or the discord would work just as well on PR as it would in GBA. The remaining 5% relate to either extremely niche interactions or fighting Omega. So play PR if you don't mind not getting a triple crown with most of the "free" triplecrown teams.

The most important think to know about RevenantKioku is that they have a bizarrely powerful ability to have good opinions about all the big things that really matter, and terrible opinions about all the little things that really don't.

RK has a knack for having a few very good opinions (FF5 owns, his charity choices the past couple years) and then spamming his terrible opinions on Gilgabot during the off-season (particularly his hatred of the Ivalice games, and yes, including Tactics).

I'd be fine with RK having terrible video game opinions if he kept it to his personal account instead of using Gilgabot to tweet them. Just kind of poor form to use your charity event account to say you think Tactics sucks and I can only assume it's because that one has more followers.

I figure half of it is that and half of it is that Gilgamesh is loud and boisterous so he decides being ALLCAPS AND OBNOXIOUS IS IN-CHARACTER FOR GILGABOT. Either way, it is what it is. Some people just like using their charity suit to poke hornet nests with, I guess.
