Definitely in. I will likely start with a 750 Berserker Risk and then see where the winds take me from there.

Registration is open! I registered a normal run with Fifth Job and Berserker Risk. I'm crossing my fingers that I get at least one mage for Omniscient (I know there's ways to beat him without mages, but having a mage makes it far easier).

HOORAY I DID GET A MAGE! My Wind Crystal Job is Blue Mage. Water is Berserker, as expected. Fire is Bard, which I’m just about to get. I’m currently on Crescent Island farming Death Sickles. The RNG is being stingy, unlike Yagamoth in The Run who got one on his first try. I was kind of hoping to get Beastmaster to make getting Blue Mage spells easier, but Bard is a good alternative!

What did everyone else get? I hope you are having fun with your runs!

I had horrible luck farming Death Sickles! It took me way longer than usual.

My team is Geomancer/Berserker/Bard/Chemist, and now that I've beaten Soul Cannon it's going to be easy mode. Yeah, the Ronka Ruins are still in front of me before I can actually use chemist, but this is a solid party composition, albeit a bit weird.

I'm doing a pure chaos natural run and I've only unlocked Samurai and Bard so far which isn't bad and it shouldn't be long until I get my third job.

Sounds like a good team! I actually like Geomancer quite a bit. And yeah, the combo of bard & chemist will make things easy!

That sounds good so far! Good luck with the remaining jobs!

I just unlocked Fifth Job, losing dancer and picking up chemist! So my team is Blue Mage, Berserker, Bard and Chemist. Should be able to get the triple crown with this team, yay! Now I'm off to farm Dragon fangs and turtle shells.

I've ended up with Samurai, Bard, Summoner and Chemist. I had a feeling I'd get Chemist, everyone seemed to be getting it!

I've been watching my streamer friend Loxxulus play FFV for the first time. He's in World 3 now, so that have me the kick in the butt I needed to finish up my Fiesta run, which I did yesterday.

Omega took a few tries, but I eventually won--and was surprised when I did because wasn't tracking damage and thought I was only halfway there. My Chemist and Bard sang Romeo's Ballad with haste shows on. My blue mage also had sing, but was wearing a flame ring which came in handy at times. She did Mighty Guard and White Wind but mostly sang. Www got lucky that the few attacks that Omega got in were recoverable from. I used the Rune Axe on my Berserker. tip: don't use the chicken knife, it dinks for 0 damage.

Shinryu was just a matter of getting a Bacchus Wine & Dark Sigh mixed quickly enough, which took about three tries. Once that was done, it was pretty easy. I used Dragon Breath for most of my damage (I had farmed 99 Dragon fangs in World 2).

I won against NED on the first try,taking a page from the speed runners and having my bard sing Hero's Rime. That and Aeroga from my blue mage and Dragon Breath from my Chemist did the trick. I tried to balance my attacks against all targets so to kill them in succession. Meteor only went off once, and killed my Berserker but everyone was alive at the end.

I feel I got incredibly lucky with this year's mix of jobs. In the past I've done multiple runs, but I have a large knitting project I need to get done soon (a shawl I want to wear to Distant Worlds) so it's just one run for me this year.

I have a quick question about the Four Job Fiesta. Who assigns the jobs and how do people know you follow the rules.

The jobs are assigned by a twitter bot - you can get more information at http://fourjobfiesta.com/help.php . As for following the rules, nobody watches you unless you're someone who decides to stream your progress. This is just for fun and charity, so cheaters are only just generally being lame.

Registration is in 3.5 days for this year's Fiesta! Who's all in? I'm about 50/50 on skipping this year. I tried to do the special Esuna for Corona event, but burned myself out because I had the crazy notion to farm Dualcast before hitting the Fire Ship. I succeeded in my grinding but failed to finish the game.

If I do play this year, I might try a chaos run. I can't remember if I've ever done so or not, hmm. Also, if I'm going to do the Fiesta I should hunker down and finish my replay of FFIX, but I'm still very early in that game....

I did end up registering, for a Pure Chaos run. That should be intetesting. smile.gif

The Run ended up being Monk, Geomancer, Dancer and Samurai. The last runner is finishing up now, doing some grinding in the castle in the rift.

Dragondarch finished first at 8:10:06. He almost got a sub 8 but screwed up when entering damage against NED on his spreadsheet and had to redo the fight. Elmagus finished shortly behind him, at 8:11:26. Won on his first try and wasn't pausing to track damage. That was a pretty exciting win - ended up with just Lenna alive with 1 HP!

I hope all playing this year are having fun!

My run got put on hold for a few weeks because my mom commissioned me to make a baby blanket for a shower she was going to, and that took all my spare time, but I'm back at the Fiesta now. Yesterday I did the Ronkan Ruins, so unlocked my final job. I have Monk, Red Mage, Blue Mage and Bard. Not bad for a Pure Chaos run! I think I can get the triple crown with this party, though Omega won't be fun.

Registration is open for this year's event! Thought I'd bump this thread in case anybody is interested.

I'm sitting out this year, probably. The last few times I tried doing a Fiesta run (whether the regular one or the special charity ones) I got burned out and dropped my run after I had my four jobs unlocked. I think the exciting part for me is playing to see what jobs I get.

I still think the Fiesta is very cool, though, and a Twitter friend of mine will be playing so I'll enjoy seeing his progress (he usually tweets quite often during the Fiesta with status updates).

If you're playing this year, I'd love to hear what kind of run you're doing and what jobs you end up getting!

Hi I'm new with this. Yes I've been in Caves of Narshe long enough to be a relic. by reputation if I was a relic I'd probably be the Cursed Ring doesn't have any benefit unless does it trade in for the Cursed Shield that turns in to the Paladin's Shield. Please don't trade me Caves of Narshe I'll be a good girl. But yes this year I shall participate with my girlfriend Lucretia who lives with me btw. Yeppers real thing this time two months strong about. Can we according to the rules use the 2 player option in the config menu on the PS1 version? If not I do have Final Fantasy V Advanced too. So she could do single player on the PS1 and me on GBA. But yea me and Lucretia plan her two Red Mage and Blue Mage, me White mage and Black Mage or would I benefit using Time Mage and wait out to get Meteo. If the two player is allowed. If not I may do my other two differently. So looking forward to this so romantic me and my girlfriend doing Four Job Fiesta for the first time together. Neither of us have before and what month does the event officially start again btw? June it looks like. Oh and yes Lucretia is a misspelling she was homeless for 10 years forgot how to spell Lucrecia as in Lucrecia Crescent only her name is Lucretia Killingsworth. And she's a tiny beautiful scottish woman. So adorbs she can actually fit in normal sizes unlike me always being 1x or bigger. Not that anything is wrong having some back. But yea she's likey tiny Disney fairy.

Well, I missed The Run this year. sad.gif Apparently it was on the same day that KupoCon did its FFXVI pre-launch livestream, and I watched that (it was delightful). I usually enjoy watching The Run so I'm sad I missed it.

I wasn't going to play the Fiesta this year, but then a Discord acquaintance posted their jobs and I was like, "okay, why not". I'm doing a 375 run, which might be new this year? Not sure, I haven't done the Fiesta in several years. A 375 run gives you two 750 jobs and two non-750 jobs.

I started out with Black Mage. Cool, I can work with that. Garula took me two tries, because I was trying to save the Frost Rod on the first try and wiped, oops. I broke the rod partway through second try which killed it, so yay!

Second job unlocked: Berserker. rolleyes-straight.gif Figures.

I was hoping to afford the PS4 Pixel Remaster version of the game so I could take pretty screenshots, but I don't have the money (I want ALL six PR games, and it doesn't look like you can buy one on PlayStation and then get a discount on the rest; can't afford them all at the moment). So I am playing the GBA version on my DS Lite. I'm managing, but (insert squinting GIF here).

Anyone else playing this year?
