Dunno what this is exactly about, but what are you supposed to do until the job you are required to play isn't unlocked?

https://www.fourjobfiesta.com/help.php
you start as freelancer, and once you get to the Wind Crystal one of the jobs is selected for you and your entire party becomes that job
When you get to the Water Crystal, one of your guys has to stay with the Wind job and another has to take the Water job. The other two can be either of them. And then you keep going until all 4 characters have unique jobs selected from your roll.
as soon as jobs are unlocked, you'll have at least one
sounds extremely based and fun but um im too busy playing dicky kino
5 is my favorite FF and I like doing fiesta style playthroughs, but the people running this shit are some of the most insufferable trannies around.
>people
It's one dude who lives in japan and shitposts about mtg all day.
>FF
It's over.
I'm going through the pixel remasters and V is next in order
I was thinking about trying it with random jobs since the previous games were easy enough
I'll probably play according to these rules but I'm not signing up anywhere
if its your first time playing the game I'd say just play it as it was intended, there are a lot of cool combinations and the battle system is really fun
I like the job system in 11 and 14 but in 3 it ruined the pacing (for example having to switch from a lvl 60 white mage to a lvl 1 devout) so I doubt I'll like FF5 and I probably won't replay it so I might as well play with challenge rules the first time
5 doesn't have straight job upgrades like 3 does.
It also doesn't penalize you for changing jobs.
>so I doubt I'll like FF5
Your doubts are misplaced, like always.... I wonder how many times you were told that.
no FF5 is a big departure from FF3 and actually fun
basically sets up FFT
5 takes the job system from 3 and makes it better in every way. It's telling that spinoffs like 4 Heroes of Light and Bravely Default are all love letters to FF5.
>Bard
Single most broken job in the game, easy win.
How do they break the game?
can't speak about bards but Chemist can mix items that can do stuff like:
Berserk + Haste + Blink
Inflict status ailments on bosses. Some bosses can get Berserk applied to them including Omega and Shinryu
x2 Max HP for the fight
level +10 for the fight and can be applied multiple times and it has a cap of 255
Full HP and MP recovery on revive
Absorb elements
for a full list:

Bard is silly. One of the most important stats in the entire game that influences damage and such is actually your level. And bard can just boost that mid battle, to ridiculous degrees, funny for the final boss. Barely used chemist since I mainly do challenge runs and have never used/gotten it in recent memory but it can just mix items to kinda do, well, anything you want. You’ll need the internet to tell you what and how to make your concoctions but they’re just ridiculously strong.
Bard just has so much unique shit it can do. It has the best stop effect in the game that even works on several difficult bosses like Omega. It does a shitload of damage to undead. It has a ton of buffs, the most important being the speed and level buffs. Easily beating Neo-exdeath here
for example is only possible because bard's buffs made me fast enough to kill him before he casts Almagest which does like 2x most of my parties max hp in damage.
They can bot raise you level to 255 in battle and max your stats with minimal effort
My first fiesta run was:
Monk
Summoner
Ninja
Chemist
never realized how busted chemist is
Chenist and Bard both break the game in half
Bard is great.
I got Black mage/Berserker/Geomancer/Samurai
Yeah. I'm tempted to do another run since I rolled 2 busted jobs and had a super easy time. I ended up a bit overleved since I actually did the trench for meteor.
lol
lmao
do it in the gba version
why the GBA version? never touched anything other than the SNES one
more stuff
More stuff*
*The stuff is entirely useless and the music is worse and the graphics are washed out
unique jobs and dungeons that arent in any other version
What's it matter when they're shit anyway?
there is an option for Fiesta to include the GBA exclusive jobs of Galdiator, Oracle, and Cannoneer (think offensive Chemist)
All the gba jobs are just shitty versions of already existing jobs.
idk worse music is a dealbreaker for me, they didn't include this new shit in the pixel remaster either?
No. None of the pixel remasters have the gba additions.
let me guess in 5 years Square will re-release them all with the additions as part of some definitive release at full price
Maybe, but honestly most of the bonus dungeons they added for the gba releases are shit anyway. The only one really worth doing is 2's soul of rebirth.
I thought the PSP version and its ports were considered to be the definitive versions of 1 and 2?
The psp version of 1 is the exact same as the gba except it has different graphics and music. The psp version of 2 adds 1 more dungeon, but also significantly reduces the rest of the game's difficulty by increasing exp gained and reducing the encounter rate.
You might be thinking of 4
DS is better
DS 4 is basically a completely different game.
Should’ve just bought the old steam version bro
Or just use the music patch
battle on the big bridge on gba is better anyway
>use the music patch
Doesn't actually fix it. It just makes the gba sound less grungy, it still has inferior samples to the snes.
First year I finally haven’t got fricking berserker from the water crystal.
My team is thief/summoner/bard/dragoon (and I’m using the voice clause to lose a random class in the final dungeon). Been going well, currently up to the seal crystals and it’s a bit rough. Got a bit of damage but my survivability is lacking
Actual troony shit
I would be willing to bump a couple jobs up or down a tier, but in general I think this is fairly accurate as far as how good any given job is in a fiesta run.
God I wish Dragoon didn't get shafted in every single game.
Fashion > utility
dragoons work much better in action games where mobility matters
I never saw the appeal of Knight. Does it get better skills after Two-Handed? I always saw Samurai as "Knight, but not shit".
if your fiesta lacks jobs that can use the chicken knife properly and you have a knight, eventually you have a powerful weapon in the brave blade
no attack skills though, no. That said twohanding weapons still hits like a truck
No, but 2 hand is all you need damage wise. It hits harder than ninja and ranger for basically the entire game. Also having access to shields and the unique knightswords which are all huge stat sticks really pushes it above the other basic attack jobs.
I'd swap berserker and whitemage, rest is honestly luck of the draw.
isn't it kind of weird you can go to a career fair and decide you want to pursue a career as a feral berserker or furry
having one white mage is easy mode, they make you invicible to stuff like vacuum wave and almagest
they just perform poorly without damage dealers backing them up.
The problem with almagest is surviving the damage in the 1st place, not healing up after.
shell heavily cuts its damage. Normally you have to jump through hoops to apply it and white mages get it near the start. Any fiesta with a white mage is tutorial mode
But that's only relevant if your both party has no damage and doesn't have a single job with enough hp to tank the hit which is basically impossible. There's so much powerful shit in 5 that neo exdeath really isn't that big a deal.
I want to do one of these, but I literally just beat V and I’m in the middle of marathoning the series.
5 is one of the shortest games in the series when you aren't 100%ing it. It's like 15-20 hours long at a moderate pace.
I wasn't aware there was a community for specifically FFV runs. Never heard of Fiestas other than Taco Bell specials before
it's only a thing that happens during the summer months
so is the pixel remaster worth it at all? good music/graphics/qol?
It's moddable, so that makes it worth it for me. I always patch in these soundtracks:
Visually looks clean to me and plays smoothly, but the music is totally redone and very nicely made
You guys should check out Crystal Project. It looks kinda shitty, but its a really good ff5 clone.
it looks like its good for that autism itch but tbh lack of story/driving narrative hurts it a lot for me
Just rolled monk, red mage, beast master and chemist. Am I gonna make it?
>monk
Good until world 2, then it sucks and is just an hp sponge
>red mage
Shit unless you also got black/white/time
>beast master
Pretty good, but time consuming to gather the right pokemon for every fight
>chemist
Top 2 job in the game, but also time consuming/expensive to stock up on items for the broken mixes.
Reminder that the game can be beaten solo with every job.
>the game can be beaten solo with every job.
Berserker?
Yeah, you just need to grind a bit. Its still way easier than something like thief solo.
>be thief
>just steal Exdeath's roots and branches until there's nothing left
ezpz
Pure berserker or mixing in other stuff until it unlocks? I ask specifically because im pretty sure pure is not something that can reasonably be done. Statistically its barely possible and requires some deranged luck/tool assisted luck manipulation. Gaia axe quake procs I think.
The game has been beaten by every possible job combination at this point, including 4 copies of each job. In the 2017 infograohic for the fiesta, there were 14 runs with 4 berserkers, 5 of which were finished.
Pure Berserker. The hardest fight is actually Byblos since he has both protect and drain. Once you're past him the rest of the run isn't bad at all. Neo-Exdeath can't do shit to you with an aegis shield + Mini in the the back row.
"solo with every job" was the original post I questioned? Found the vid. Its crapper in quality than I remember god damn. Though I guess a new strat for solo berserker only could have happened in the last decade.
>It took a stupid number of attempts, but considering that the odds are even more ridiculous than that, this is still a very lucky win.
>I had two computers running, each with six instances of ZSNES on max frameskip, continually automatically initiating battles with NeoExdeath. I had ZSNES recording each one onto an external harddrive, and when I looked back and finally saw the "The End" screen, I was able to load back that video and re-record the victory
>Gear used: Earth Hammer / Aegis Shield / Thornlet / BoneMail / WallRing
>The odds of getting that many Earthquakes in one fight? Very very very low. It's a 25% chance each time.
Yeah, that guy is really missing out by not being mini. Earthquake is magic damage so you aren't losing any damage and get a shitload of free evasion. It still takes forever, but is super safe.
Is this some crazy secret the community doesnt know? Searching for solo berserker attempts online and only finding more people that got stuck at the end.
Is it? I've seen people doing mini berserkers for years. Try it yourself some time in a non-solo run and see how long your level 30ish berserker lasts.
White mage is fricking dogshit in 5. It isn't even close to being as strong as Berserker.
it doesn't have to be strong, it's there to keep your party alive when you have little else and cast holy every now and then.
Just buy potions. Healing in battle isn't even something you do very often in 5.
All I found was 2 more people trying the solo berserker challenge, one giving up and the other using more modern emulation and scripting tools to get another win through the same methods.
Either we have our wires crossed on what version or what is allowed in a 1 character, 1 class challenge or there are a bunch of FF5 fans that dont know about mini berserkers.
You can get mini'd by the tiny mage enemies so I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed. You just have to not use a tent before the boss.
Berserker is in theory. One guy had 5 separate instances of Berserker solo vs the final boss running on repeat for literally days and only had a single win.
Every other class can solo the game with varying levels of difficulty. Some guy named Sullla has a site with write ups for them. I've done Blue Mage, Cannoneer, and did the first recorded Oracle solo runs myself.
Easily. Monk will carry you though the early game and you've got plenty of endgame power. The hardest bit will be the end of world 2. Just make sure to farm some reflect rings in barrier tower and you shouldn't have too much trouble.

God fricking dammit.
i love gilgamesh so much its unreal
>he doesn't play the pixel remaster and quicksave exploit to get 4 or more brave blades/chicken knives
damn. I've beaten this game 5+ times over the years but thought Bard was only good for Requiem. I've always known Chemists have good Mixes but I'm too lazy to take advantage of them.
FYI, Brave Blade was buffed in PR. every 5(?) battles you complete deletes 1 escape from the BB's damage calculation. so it's pretty easy to keep it at full power unless you're farming Dragon Whiskers from Shinryu or something.
>brave blade was buffed in PR
On top of that, they also nerfed Chicken Knifd because you can't ignore its special effect with dual wield and twin lance anymore
How about goblin punch?
LADS
the frick do you have against Black Mages?
Black Mages, or Wizards as I like to call them, need to go back to Coneria. This is a White Mage board
wasn't there a way to roll without making an account or is that not there any more
You could probably just use real dice. Or two coins
I was able to use my Youtube/Google login for the FJF
say what you will about gachashit, FFRK had some sweet sprites and remixes
whats 4 dragoons like
It has its ups and downs.
It sucks but its doable. You have less damage than 4 berserkers, but shouldn't have too much trouble since you can use items.
lots of waiting
>made it halfway through the final dungeons
>realized I forgot to get legendary weapons
No thanks
