KennyMan666 posted:Been a bit since I played an ALttPR seed. Maybe I should do one for the thread. Especially since I do see that it got updated last month, the first update in over a year! Do it. The thread demands it! No seriously, it's only one run so far; that's really disappointing for what is explicitly intended as a megathread. (Side note: If I had a microphone I might've contributed an FFMQ run by now; that's kind of my latest fascination.)

FFMQR 1-2, Fire region (mostly) Well, it's not as absurd as Earth was, but I'm still finding Tier 3 equipment, so I guess that "three gifts" thing is kind of disproven. Side note: I had the screenshots for this taken not too long after Earth, but didn't get around to resizing or uploading them until just now.

Funny you should say that... FFMQR 1-3, Water region (mostly) Near as I can tell, I got hit by a bug that erased a key item. Thankfully it was only the Mirror, but that could've led to the entire seed becoming completely impossible. On the bright side, I'm 2 items from Go Mode now. Aquaria region was ridiculously lucrative. CptWedgie fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Apr 24, 2023 |

Some stupid tree monster had (what felt like) a 95% success rate on hitting him (and me) with a death spell. And when it wasn't using the ID, it used a paralysis move. So. Many. Restarts! And there is no item in Phoebe's house; it's a brown box in vanilla, so it's a brown box in my seed.

FFMQR 1-4, Cleanup Turns out what I thought was a bug was more along the lines of active malice on the part of the randomizer devs: The Mask disappeared too; I checked as soon as I picked it up. Where did they get the absurd idea that people like stumbling around blind?! (/complaint) Anyway, at least I should finish pretty soon. Word of advice for anyone interested in FFMQR: Don't play using SGL2022 settings if you want to see where you're going. CptWedgie fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Apr 24, 2023 |

Blaze Dragon posted:Weird choice there, I can't imagine why they'd want to make the game more annoying to play. Maybe they needed to repurpouse whatever flags those items used and that's why they just disappear now? It's the only explanation I can think of beyond fake difficulty. If I had to speculate, it's an extension of the "you can go through these dungeons without the relevant monster-revealing items" logic, perhaps in an attempt to ensure that a player who stumbles on one of those items does not have an advantage over a player who just goes straight to those dungeons without the items. Despite the fact that said advantage is the entire purpose of those items. TLDR: The only possible answer at this point is active malice from the randomizer devs. Anyway, setting that bit of dev dickery aside... Simply Simon posted:Aria of Sorrow Reprise Roguelike Randomizer Cattail Prophet posted:Let's (Re)play An FF6 Beyond Chaos Seed! I did roll up a test seed recently with the latest version, though; Terra's abilities... were mixed: 9xRemedy (which, if the first one doesn't work, the other eight won't help any more) and 9xBolt3 (a hilariously-powerful attack). Also, she looked like FF4's Antlion, and the soldiers were General Leo. I deleted it already, because, again, it was just a test seed to help me figure out how to use the new Beyond Chaos, but... yeah. (And in case anyone's wondering: Beyond Chaos, or at least the new version, has an option to force all multicast abilities to be either 9x abilities or 8x doublecast abilities, a potential example of the latter being 8x Fire 3 + Cure.)

DoubleNegative posted:Once you watch the video, feel free to take a look at these and see if you can figure out where the heck I was meant to go and what I was meant to do. Still, though, that seed looks abominable. Thanks for warning us away from that randomizer, even if that wasn't exactly your intention; your complaints about how this isn't even the first seed you couldn't figure out means that the logic... just isn't there, and the "no updates for years" thing means that it probably won't get implemented unless the source code is public so someone else can take over. edit: didn't see the end of the video first, but I also found where it wanted you to go for Varia: All the way down to Ridley.

Simply Simon posted:Aria of Sorrow Reprise Roguelike Randomizer Anyway, relevant stuff: I'm pretty sure I specifically mentioned that Winged Skeleton was a good budget soul; it has strengths, but damage per hit is, unfortunately, not one of them, as you'd expect from the first soul in the game. At least the "pierce through enemies" aspect has its uses, though. Anyway, I've been doing a seed of my own after seeing this, and it's been enjoyable so far. Hope to see more of this, if you want to show it off again! (And if not, well, no hard feelings, and I hope you find something else to do, whether you show it to others or not.)

Simply Simon posted:It's quite possible that this is due to my inexperience with the game. I have started to see some recurring rooms that always have a red soul, a +stat thing etc., but the ability soul stands are too rare for me to see a pattern in where they show up yet. In a few runs, I might be going "oh I should poke my head into one more room - ah! This is a candidate for having an ability...and there it is, cool". Not yet, though! Also managed to get fairly specific numbers for Valkyrie's damage: My Final Sword currently does around 161 damage, Valkyrie does 240-something to the same targets (somewhat muddled by the fact that, being a vampire's castle, drat near everything is weak to Holy, though honestly it might be enough that you can just treat the "weakness" damage as the baseline). As a bonus, the Valkyrie attacks faster than the Final Sword (which... swings faster than you'd expect from a sword bigger than you are, but is still pretty slow).

I may need to abort this latest seed; it's forcing me to go to Pazuzu's Tower and actually fight things that're spamming 1500-damage attacks with tier 1 weapons and no armor. Needless to say, I can't survive that kind of BS.

FFMQR 3-6, Recruiting Guides ...Y'know, I think I actually managed to not die for the entirety of this update. In fact, looking back, this is apparently both the second update total and the second consecutive update of this run that I've managed that. Early-game hell is real, especially when map shuffle forces you into Pazuzu's Tower while attack shuffle gives everything there overpowered attacks; fortunately, I'm no longer in the early game.

Crumps Brother posted:Final Fantasy Randomizer - Beginner Seed As for the run itself... what the hell is the multiplier on the enemy rewards?! I mean, Imps giving like 30 XP and 160 Gold each is ridiculous. Personally, I'd buy a few Tents too; don't remember how much they recover, but a full-party heal on demand is still good even if it's just a Heal on everyone, right? And they're barely more expensive than Heals in that seed! From what I remember, the worst thing about Madpony in vanilla is the fact that it shows up on the way to Garland. If they were exclusive to "across the bridge" they wouldn't be so bad, but for a party who hasn't even beaten the tutorial boss yet they're brutal; I don't think they have any gimmicks or special attacks, I just remember them being the biggest beatstick in the region. Sahags are never worth the effort even when they aren't spamming instakills. I think those instakills you got against those Wolf groups might've been a Wolf using Glare; might've been a GrWolf, though.

Crumps Brother posted:Final Fantasy Randomizer - Beginner Seed After getting out of the Volcano... holy crap Hydras are scary. Because anything with instant death is scary. I hate finding the upgrade I just bought. It offends my inner miser, and leaves me feeling stupid until the next upgrade. Which, in this case, might be permanent because I doubt you're getting rid of those ProRings. Seeing a miniboss hype itself up only to go down in one hit will never not be funny.

Crumps Brother posted:Final Fantasy Randomizer - Beginner Seed I've honestly been wondering why you never equipped the Heal Helmet; it beats wood, and saves a slot because your Heal-casting item is also usable armor. I mean, before it was excusable because you weren't promoted yet and were thus incapable of wearing it, but afterwards there's no real excuse: You could give it to the Ninja instead of the Wood Helmet, because they can use it too, and just throw the Wood Helmet away as obsolete gear. Gotta say, though, Ninja + Katana = enemies get rekt. Especially if the Katana in question rolls an upgrade.

Cattail Prophet posted:
And Beyond Chaos seems to really like Shuriken drops; I started a seed (using a more modern version) as yet another attempt to get into it, and I'm pretty sure I've got max Shurikens and I haven't even gone into the Returner Hideout yet. Since I've got the "anyone can equip anything" flag on, this would be nice... if they weren't Heal Rods. Since I don't have a Throw command (and honestly don't even know if that'd bypass the healing thing), that makes them entirely worthless. As for party "speculation"... I'm gonna guess "everyone but Goten and Hideki." Maybe just Aoi + Gilga + Cell, if you want to pick up Iria, but since I suspect Shadow's "randomly leaves the party" gimmick might still be intact for his slot (and I'm pretty sure Plot forces him to leave before you even get to Zozo) I'm gonna assume not.
