Board 8 > The Final Fantasy V Four Job Fiesta is live (#FF5FJF2020)

(+) Yeah! (+)

http://fourjobfiesta.com/

Anyone partaking this year? It runs until August 31st. I'll likely start a run after TLoU2.

---

Its been a few years since I've done one, and I feel like I really should try to get at least one in.

---

Got Blue Mage for the first time. Blue magic is usually one of my least favorite FF mechanics so kind of looking forward to being forced to engage with it for once, even if it completely breaks the game

---

I'm heading into world 2 with Summoner/Geo/Beast/Bard. pretty easy thanks to Summoner, though Archeoavis's last form gave me some trouble until I went and grabbed a Sand Bear.

we have a board, by the way: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1101-final-fantasy-v-four-job-fiesta

---

Oh, man, I love FFV. Maybe I should do this challenge this year.

---

I rolled Pure Chaos and got Dancer, Chemist, Bard, ???. Currently sitting before Sand Worm contemplating how much grinding I'm going to have to do to get through Ronka Ruins and actually unlock my non-Bard jobs.

---

I've done a Bard solo on Sandworm. it's painful. I think you can get Mighty March before then, yeah? maybe that + a lot of potions and good menuing can make that happen without needing to be level 30.

---

You can have Mighty March, but it probably heals around 20 HP per turn off Bard vitality. Still a lot better than nothing, but Bard is definitely the second toughest class to have there.

---

About to enter the Rift with Blue Mage / Summoner / Ranger / Dancer, the most hilariously broken team I have ever gotten

---

I just had the dumbest Soul Cannon battle. So after I killed the launchers I got into a rhythm where I'd get in a round of attacks on the cannon, it would charge for Wave Cannon, I'd Hide, Wave Cannon would whiff, and I'd come back out to repeat. Everything was fine until I got a point where the cannon would flash and "Ineffective" would pop up after every attack I did. Turns out the cannon's self-destruct is coded as a physical attack, and because I'm playing the SNES version the bug with Hide still exists and makes it so the cannon couldn't actually use its "you depleted my HP, time to blow myself up" script. I figured out I could just get hit by a Wave Cannon, hit it once, and it would die. That's a fun interaction I never knew about before now!

Holy hell Chemist and Bard are incredible. They just have so many tricks up their sleeves. Shinryu got berserked, blinded, then slowly Sword Danced to death. Omega got stunlocked by two singers and then slowly Sword Danced to death. Exdeath and Neo had basically all their offense neutered, then I sat and buffed for a couple minutes, then they got quickly murderized by 9000+ damage Chicken Knife swings. As tedious as it sometimes was getting this party through random battles they just blew away every single boss.

I might try a Classic run before the Fiesta ends, but every single year I finish one run, register for another, and then just completely lose all motivation. So rather than burn out I think I'll just let FF5 sit for a week or three.

---

nice! chemist is a lot of fun and bard is quietly so damn good as a support role.
