Final Fantasy V Four Job Fiesta

Atomos is a pain in the [bleep] without being able to use Shell to guard against its constant stream of Comet spam. Things got somewhat easier when I realized it's much less likely to attack when a character is KO'd, instead opting to draw him/her in veeeeerrrrry sloooooowwwwwly for a chance to remove them from the battlefield entirely with Wormhole. I then let Bartz and Faris go nuts against it. For some strange reason, I'm glad bosses don't give out EXP and AP in this game. I prefer to keep my party's levels as balanced as possible.

I never knew you could do that. 0_o

And Shinryu and Exdeath is dead.

After grinding four levels, I just barely managed to beat the crystals in the Forest of Moore. Monk Bartz almost screwed everything up since he decided that he was going to counterattack EVERYTHING. Had to deal with both the Fire and Wind crystal going nuts at once, ended up finishing the battle with two characters at around 45 HP apiece.

Congrats.

I decided, eh, what the hell, I'll do the Fiesta this year. Started a random run, and have Black Mage and Summoner. Hopefully I'll get some physical jobs, but even if I get shit for jobs now I think Summoner will be able to carry me.

Seriously. Summoner is very strong.

Well aren't you lucky. You got yourself nice type coverage with fire, wind, ice, and lightning. Give your black mage the magus rod and your summoner the air knife and you will wreck everything with 3000 damage.

Archeoaevis can be a problem, due to its resistance against magic. I think you should be mostly fine otherwise though.

Is it normal for Phoenix Downs to suddenly stop working in Exdeath's Castle? I'm faced with that terrible dilemma right now, because it's happened to me a couple of times both before and during the fight with Gilgamesh.

The only thing I can think of that can cause failure for the Phoenix Down is Bone Mail. Otherwise it should have a 100% success rate.

Yeah, any time someone has the bone mail equipped during battle, all healing spells and items will do the inverse of their intended effect. So phoenix downs will only kill the bone mail wearer.

Sh**...

Today I experienced the joy of fighting Byblos with no way to cause fire damage. Had to grind up to level 21 to finally win, which I find kinda funny considering on my run prior to this one I beat Neo Exdeath and both superbosses at an average level of just five levels higher.

Oh, hello.

Thinking I may register for Chaos. Being assigned jobs sounds like a pretty nice change of pace.

What if it actually represents a Fiesta in Bravely Default? You get assigned jobs. Just not FFV jobs

I have no clue what this CHAOS thing is, but hey #regCHAOS #Berserkers Risk #Yolo

I think chaos might be something I've suggested before: random, but you can get jobs from future crystals as well. If the job is from a future crystal, I guess you get Freelancer until you get it properly.

I was tempted to do Chaos + Berserker Risk but I decided I'm not that adventurous so I'm starting off the same way I did last year, Random + Risk. I'll definitely do Chaos for a second run though.

I've registered for #Chaos. I have no idea what's going to happen but I'm looking forward to it anyway.

I'm guessing you can get any Job at any time so you might get stuck in Freelancer for some time if you get a late game Job early.

I'm sitting this one out, since I managed to finish the game last year with my Monk/Chemist/Bard/Time Mage team, so... good luck, everyone!

Thinking I might do a pledge. Something like $1 for anyone who beats the game, upgraded to $3 for beating Omega or Shinryu, $8 for beating Omega and Shinryu, and like $100 for beating Enuo.

Voting for The Run is almost over: http://fourjobfiesta.com/therun.php

Needs more donations if we want the players to do all of the tablets.

Legendary Weapons tier reached.

Yeah! Weapon flex!

The Run is Monk, Red Mage, Ranger, Dancer.

Tough setup. Much of the early game should be easy with the Monk and Red Mage, but later on can be really tough. What does everybody think?
