Finally finished my #FFV #FourJobFiesta run!

Exdeath was a fun fight, and I ended up severely leaning on Chemist skills to mix up some buffs and protection. Took some effort to get the right timing to evade his White Hole attack in the first phase, then an exercise in damage and healing in the second.

The #FJF run was a really interesting way to play this game. It provides just enough mechanics and options that each fight becomes more like a puzzle to solve.

My #FFV #FourJobFiesta run continues and is approaching completion.

Most of the game was straightforward, but I ran into a wall on the three main bosses. Shinryu went down eventually with !Throw and Fuma Shurikens... Omega wasn't quite so straightforward...

Had to do a setup that was more complicated than any FF setup I've done. Chemist with 99 Elixirs/Dark Matters and float, two Zombie status characters, buff protections on the Chemist then chip away at his health...

It's been a minute since I updated last. It's not as easy to play 30 minutes at a time when I'm checking new areas for monsters with Blue Magic.

@JTO_is_Typing has given some good tips. I have the lists for both Blue Mage and Bard. Bard is extremely useful for some powerful standard enemies with Stop, Confuse, and Regen. And for bosses they effectively become a second Blue Mage since Stop and Confuse usually don't work on them.

The Crystals were very annoying. I had to use a reflect ring on my Bard (with Blue Magic ability) to have a full-health member to use White Wind. Two reflect rings were healing them as faster than I could hurt them.

By the way, anyone getting into these Magic the Gathering Final Fantasy Cards? One of the Swamp land cards is the Ship Graveyard from FFV.

Looking back at run number one of this year’s fiesta, I think rods carried me a little too much. If I do another run I think I might try a No 750 run to force me to think a little further outside the box. Anybody done one of those before? Also tempted to mix up the crystal order options a bit too, we’ll see.

The third job has been unlocked. And from the Fire Crystal, we get... Bard! (After going through the Library and Crescent.)

This is gearing up to be my nightmare scenario. Berserker can only attack (and always attacks). Blue Mage forces me to constantly check if an ability is in the area, then coax it out of them (and hoping my Berserker doesnt kill them). Now with the Bard I have to search for hidden abilities.

Both Blue Mage and Bard both feel like oddball jobs that require creativity.

Also, I had to use breakable staffs to stomp 3 different enemies that were otherwise stomping me. (Liquid Flame, Ifrit, and Byblos)

Finished the game! Mix ended up being a huge help in the last portion. Especially against Neo Exdeath.

Twintania was getting really annoying until I found out how vulnerable he is when charging Gigaflare.

This was my second Four Job Fiesta challenge. Looking forward to next year!

I just got the fourth tablet! I wasn't expecting the forked towers to be so easy this time around. The Great Sea Trench was annoying. I restarted with more Phoenix Downs for insta-kills and Flame Rings for the lava. Then, I found out Flame Rings don't protect you from lava. Triton, Nereid, and Phobos were easier than I remember from before, too.

Finished up the Library of Ancients, reunited a family, and helped Galuf through a flashback. Took a moment to backtrack to Walse Castle and picked up Shiva for my summoner (easy-peasy with Ifrit and 3 Black Mages). Then headed across the ocean to Crescent Island, lost my ship, gained a new chocobo and FINALLY could turn Galuf into a Ranger (caught off his guard?). Tomorrow to the desert!

Made it through the Fire Ship without too many problems, altho I kept getting greedy trying to damage the boss at the wrong times. 😅
And my Fire Crystal job is.... Ranger! ....which I can't get until a while from now. 😔
Mosey'd down to the Library of Ancients and got Ifrit for my Summoner, and will handle the main boss tomorrow.
