FF5 Four Job Fiesta 2013

Ok! I've got the nasty bug in the Jobs tracker fixed and both programs updated so they can be used in the same folder w/o having save file conflicts.

Counter Program - Rename the save.ini file to be called Failures.ini to transfer the counter over.
Jobs Program - Rename the save.ini file to be called Jobs.ini to transfer the data over.

Both programs are attached separately in case you only want the one, but I recommend getting both v1.1 programs in the single 7z file.

Welcome to the forums, revenantkioku!

And haven't gotten to do much with the actual fiesta, spent a few hours coding programs for the streaming crew. Smiley

Since I got requests for it, more vertical versions. Included are:

Counter Tracker (Vertical)
Jobs Tracker (Square)
Jobs Tracker (Vertical)

All are based upon the v1.1 versions and will work perfectly fine with the save files that already exist. Enjoy!

Obscure games ftw

White Mage is rather intense at the start, I must say. Being able to abuse the Heal Staff for Garula saved me a lot of time and effort grinding.

It's in Castle Tycoon. Go left in the courtyard after you talk to the Chancellor and there's a really obvious path leading to a room with a switch. You can head back there after getting the wind drake

But you can't go there before beating Garula in the water tower? Isn't the meteor blocking that path?

That's what the wind drake is for. The mountains block the drake but not enough to keep it from Castle Tycoon and the meteorite doesn't block the drake

Ohhh... I'll have to get that then. Thanks for the info, I thought the meteorite was also blocking the dragon.

Stopped for the night sitting at the save right before Omega in the N-zone. Made one mad dash that got crushed by Twin Tania when i forgot to change my setup around. May (read: almost guaranteed) have to level grind a bit before i can kill neo ex-death, but we'll see. X-chicken knife deals mad damage, but my party has almost no means to deal with all the nasty stuff he throws at you.

Just finished. Clutch pinwheel toss with only ninja feris alive at 300 hp.

Somebody had to get it. I forsee no difficulty with the rest of the game, regardless of Earth Crystal job.

I currently have Black Mage/Berserker. I have a feeling I won't have any healing again this year... T_T

HELLO!

I drew Blue Mage for Wind. I hear it's good, but I have no idea what I'm doing with it, and I really didn't want to spend a ton of time on stream reading and learning as I went. So I gave in and donated into White Mage. Nice safe choice. Smiley

Not really, Blue Mages are arguably the best class in the game. You'd have access to the most powerful spells in the game, such as Level 5 Death, Level 2 Old among others. You can just one-shot some bosses with Level 5 Death.
White Mage is okay, a source of healing is nice to have.

Well I would have been done my run tonight... but then Twintania happened

Edit: Someone needs to tell those Sword Dancer guys that reviving my characters is not part of their job http://www.twitch.tv/triggerlily/c/2441634

Finished mine up tonight after several attempts at Neo Ex-death. I think the only reason I was able to win that fight without extreme levels of grinding was the magic lamp. Was still rough, and had several times that I was down to one character alive with <200 hp, but pheonix down + elixir spam managed to finish it out.

Black mages make surprisingly good healers in combination with elemental absorb...too bad flame rings are so expensive early ><

Blue Mages are only going to be powerful if you know anything about them. I don't. Smiley

Taking a short speedrunning break with some FF5 action.

#random
White Mage -> Thief -> Monk -> Black Mage

Looks like it's wind crystal only this time. The only trouble I've had thus far was Byblos and Sol Cannon. I ended up having to grind a couple extra levels for Byblos, who has a lineup of some seriously shitty abilities. Protect and an apparently massive evasion rate made it hell for my all-physical party, and if Dischord was used too early on one of my Monks, I'd just reset. Oh yeah, and getting combo'd by Drain. I could swear it used it like 4 times in a row once.

I'm pretty sure I got lucky on Sol Cannon. I couldn't figure out why this happened: In my second attempt at the battle, the two launchers seemed to disappear as soon as I started attacking the main cannon part. Guides are saying they have 10,000 HP. Does anyone know why this happened?

Anyways, I'm having a blast so far. Grin

The launchers themselves have really low hp (i want to say in the 1k range or lower). Guides are a bit hit and miss for this game, even as old as it is.

Byblos can be rough for a lot of group combinations, glad you were able to get by it. When he gets to ~25% hp (i forget the exact trigger), he gains a chance to counterattack with Drain, making him a real roadblock for heavily physical groups (in combination with Safe counterattack anytime else) or those with light damage.

Pretty solid group you're got there, though. My knight/zerk/ranger/black mage party is jealous :p
