FF5 Four Job Fiesta 2013

Execute.

Day 2 following up with Red Mage and Ninja. Also had a whopping 4 people watching my stream at one point. Stopped just outside of the flying Ronka Ruins as PSX version calls 'em.

Are you going natural? If so, then you would have to give the White Mage to Reina (since she is the character associated with Wind). If you're doing regular or random or whatever, ALL of your party have to be white mages.

Yeah Bartz is wind not Lenna. Not sure how you got that mixed up. I could understand getting Faris (fire) and Galuf/Krile (earth) mixed up since Faris starts in the 4th party slot. The rules even list this out for people who don't know off hand.

Because Reina's White Mage sprite is the closest to the standard white mage outfit maybe? ~~now I totally want to do a run with each character as the class they best represent...Knight/White Mage/???/Thief~~

I was thinking maybe it has to do with the fact that the crystal is where her daddy disappers at

Yeah, that might be it. Her family protects that crystal and stuff.

Black Mage/Berserker/Ranger/Dancer and just got out of Castle Bal in the second world. I ended up grinding for Flame Rings so I could have some dedicated healing in some way. So far, the extra levels are working in my favor. We'll see how long that lasts.

I may have to grind at some point for my run but as long as I can keep killing bosses without it, Ill keep on trying. I consider it an extra challenge to be as low leveled as possible with the party you have just to show some more swag Smiley

Execute.

As much as Sword Dance rules, Dancing Dirk infuriated me for 2 hours today with the neverending Jitterbug on undead mobs/at full HP, Temptango on uncharmable mobs, that MP drain on any mob... especially this last one and funnily enough the name slipped my mind.
Knight/Red Mage/Ninja/Geomancer has done me good in general so far though, gotten way more use out of Geo than I though I would.

Finally started my run and got Monk/Red Mage/Bard for my first 3 - definitely liking the balance of physical/magical/support abilities that team has to offer.

Plus, in-game reason to #PianoFlex = priceless.

And got Samurai for my 4th job - going to try to avoid spamming Gil Toss in order to keep things interesting, but I will do no such thing for the tougher bosses.

so I got white mage, summoner, hunter so far. is there a strat I can use for sandworm when I get to it.

Tohmane

2013-06-27 01:17:00 pm

Execute.

Should be able to just heal through his sandstorms and demis can be avoided for the most part with careful targetting. I forgot water skills for ninja and had to fight it the old fashioned way.

HELLO!

Oh man with Twitch chat down I went back to Nico. So much fun.

I was banging my head on Atomos, my dancer giving me nothing but Waltz, and on top of that I apparently picked the wrong sword magic. But the Japanese guys who could barely speak english knew the game, and were cheering with me for sword dance PLEASE.

Then finally someone yells at me to use sleep, and I try again. Boom. 4 out of 5 shots, the dancer does sword dance. Down goes Atomos with ease.

Marten Broadcloak

2013-06-28 05:22:45 pm

YOU DARE NOT.

750 challenge here...ended up with Black Mage/Red Mage/Geomancer/Chemist.

I feel dirty spamming Terrain with everyone, but it's beyond effective...until I got to Atomos. Then I was Comet smeared repeatedly until I got a lucky try to go through via Samson Power on the BM.

Just passed the 4 crystals (SamPow + Fire3 + Fire Rod, Resist Fire mix for the last crystal) and proceeded straight to beer.

I beat the challenge presented to me. I finally beat Final Fantasy V. It was a tough fight, but I did it. Smiley

Generic Text

Unlike the fellow above me, I believe that the absence of a Thief and Beastmaster should not mean you should be barred from doing the GBA/iOS bonus dungeon. Because that's just silly and only being able to go through if you're lucky enough to roll those classes (or pay for them) makes less sense than temporary exceptions. Tongue

Ergo I am taking my Natural, Random, Berserker Risk party through it. But in the meantime and since I feel like posting here and since there is a topic about this here...and as one of the most in-the-know-about-FF5 out there, let's talk about all the fights that matter that I've taken on so far!!

(And not the ones I tried to make matter by screwing around or showing off)

First, Superboss #1!! As seen here, the Gil Turtle will flatten your ass with a 3500+ damage Earthshake after you kill him. So was he effectively impossible? Not at all! By using the Dancing Daggers on the Poison Eagles in Drakenvale, you can pull confusion in Tempting Tango. Then they can cast Float on your party! Of course, I needed Deadzerkers for this. But once Burt and Faris were floating, I was ready to pull my strat off.

It took around an hour of attempts to beat it. Many of which were ended by untimely crits from the meatshieldzerkers because I sold off all my weak weapons to avoid money grinding.

How about this fellow? Well, he's vulnerable to Berserk, and it just so happens the Wonder Rod weapon cycles through all White and Black spells save for Scan - and that includes Berserk.

So I did that and it was game over. Only able to hit and kill one person at once, he was easily outrevived and taken out.

...well, the important thing is I won. Berserkers don't target the dead and dummy targets in SNES, but they will attack whoever. Break killed the Almagust part and the lamp Part 4. Then they almost ruined everything, but ate the meteors and Burt killed him. No video here. But I will be back after the bonus dungeon, as well as styling on Omega and Gogo.

And no, I don't mean waiting around for a couple minutes in the latter's case. I'll be killing him directly!!

The bonus dungeon with its obnoxious enemy combos and encounter rates. This is the second boss - the first is Gil Turtle who I was able to potato this time around and laugh at his dying Earthshaker. You really need to know what you're doing to beat this guy, who normally shreds all but the most specific seutps.

Here, just watch this and read the pastebin in the description. It is one hell of a battle that is RNG dependant, although I can't say it doesn't keep one on the edge of their seat!

And coming soon to a stream...maybe...this Twin Tania lookalike makes me glad I won the Tinkerbell from Twin Tania itself, because it makes Geomancer shred this guy?!!?! Anyway, he casts all sorts of nasty shit below 20000HP, and notably counters anything but Magic with Death...ON HIS UNDEAD SELF...so I plan to run him out of MP first - Ethering him to chop it to 9999MP then healing with Flame Rings, Flame Shields, and Firaga in the meantime. The exact opposite of the previous fight - dull but infalliable.

So yeah. Dunno how far I can go into it, but I'm going to try! And probably do another after this because while this is a hilarious party in the sense that Black Mage carries I do want to play around some more.

Obscure games ftw

I looked at your highlights, and your World 2 Exdeath wasn't foolproof since he can Vacuum Wave+Attack in the 2nd phase, and that would have pasted Bartz. It was definitely a good strategy, better than what I had for my first fight (but stacking Image, and Shell on people is lol during that fight, and I won easily 2nd try).

Also, about how long does it take to power up the Chicken Knife? Before proceeding with World 3 I want to do that and also loot Mirage Village.
