 Final Fantasy: Free Enterprise is a randomizer/scavenger hunt mod for Final Fantasy II/IV. Essentially, it throws out the story, given the airship straight away (hence the "free enterprise" part of the title), and sent on your way to achieve whatever goals you set for yourself in the randomizer--from completely random tasks like finding and defeating a specific boss, to finishing the traditional path and defeating Zeromus, to a whole lot of things in-between. The people that worked on this have put a staggering amount of customization/randomization into this romhack, and it shows by looking over all the flags that can be set for runs. If you go to the romhack's website, you can see it all for yourself! I'll be walking through multiple rolls of the dice in this series (staring off relatively mild and getting more and more difficult/convoluted/random as time goes on), and I want your help! Looking over that big list of flags from the website, I want y'all to pick out some that I will use in the subsequent attempts! There are really a LOT of things that can be put into this, so look them all over and give me something to work with. At the end of all of this, I'll be running the game with the titular Five Edward Fiesta--nothing but bards! Spoony ones, at that! This has been done before, by myself and Dewgy, but I feel this warrants a re-visit after 3 years since then. Enjoy, and hopefully nothing TOO bad goes wrong....

Excellent! I love Free Enterprise, often rolling up a fresh randomization instead of playing one of the many new Steam games languishing in my library, and I really enjoyed your original LP (was it really three years ago??) Can't wait to see where this goes.

Can't wait to see where this goes. Thanks! I'm excited to come back to this after so long (yes, it's really been that long!) I'll try and keep things interesting as we go, considering I've already come across one glitch thus far, and should I run up against the Plague Eye at some point, plan to test another Dewgy and I found on our previous takes and see if its actually a thing.

This is definitely the standard I compare most randomizer mods to.

Excited for this - loved the last one! I think at one point you had 3 Yangs and it was great.

Remember that the item shop in Baron is open, even though the weapon and armor shops are locked. Oh, and everyone can wear the Ribbon (apart from Dark Knight Cecil). e: and you can hit up the Watery Pass and Mt. Ordeals at the beginning to grab two more free characters!

Back to it again! We hit all of Baron (the Inn and the Castle), and then take on my 2nd least favorite area of this game...Cave Magnes. Also I discover I'm blind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwqnlEUcw-Y

Loved the episode. I think you really missed out by not having a party with 3 Paloms and 2 Yangs

The other problem is that Rosa has too much utility to ever really ditch, and FuSoYa has a giant pool of UP to get through most encounters. If you want me to do stupid stuff in future runs, look up the website and suggest some flags for me to use once this one is over!

More grinding through boss battles...trying to finish ONE more stupid objective! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pLnuyrT9pg In addition, the next installment should be the last video for this run. If you have any flags that you would like me to use for the next run, now is the time to post them! Otherwise, I will create one on my own for the next run.

How about one of the goofy April Fools settings? Your choice.

Long-delayed, but finally--the conclusion of the first run. I'll be setting up a new seed with new parameters later this week, so last call for any flags on the next run! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c362YWrvVlc

Making more headway in our scavenger hunt to complete the Crystal, and finding ways to break the game! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21vKAcv6J3k

Continuing on through the Dark Matter hunt, we find ourselves with limited options in the beginning, but things get more interesting later! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TJZV0DheKM

Since you have the B-to-jump enabled, you need to jump over the Zeromus battle trigger square and explore behind him.  Also, if you smack Yang with the pan first and then talk to Yang's wife, you just have to talk to her a 2nd time to get the other item.

Next in line! Not a ton of progress, but we Do make some headway against a former roadblock, and new paths open! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-mxzypXfI8

Yes, we're still in the same seed. The brutal nature of the randomizer DOES show its ugly head here, though, so check that out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft_orLhnYtE
