FF5 Four Job Fiesta

Welcome to #FF5FJF2023! Things are a little different this year.

Twitter registration is gone. Go to the Account Page and log in with your Google account.

Runs are different from previous years. You must pick your: 1. Run Type - Job distribution. (Regular, biased to early/late jobs, or total randomness.) 2. Job Set - What Jobs are chosen from. (750, No750, Classic, etc.) 3. Restrictions - Normal, Natural, or Upgrade. 4. Extra Options - There's a lot. But stuff like allowing duplicates, Berserker Risk and more. See the help page for more details.

As of now, it's only preregistration. That's all!

The [Players List] has changes as well. Since we're logging in with our email accounts, I don't want to show information. In the Settings Page enter a nickname. This will show on the page instead of your email address now. (Only you see this, anyway.) Check Display Run Data in Public Lists to show up in the Player List.

There are likely going to be bugs and issues. Let me apologize in advance. The Job Fair is not yet up, but I am working on it. Submitting your Victory Picture is different as well. I'll post more about that later.

IT'S INFOPICTURE TIME! AVAILABLE IN PNG OR PDF BECAUSE I KNOW HOW YOU ALL LOVE YOUR FILE FORMATS!

INFOPICTURE TIME!

DOWNLOAD IT IN PNG OR PDF FORMATS!

OKAY. SO THAT DID NOT LAST LONG.

BUT HEY, CAN YOU BLAME US? TWITCH GAVE A REALLY COOL WAY TO EASILY FIND PEOPLE PLAYING IN THE FIESTA. (THE STREAM PAGE WAS BULKY AND SLOW DUE TO THE API) BUT THEN THEY TOOK IT AWAY.

SO. UH. YEAH.

SO #STREAM IS BACK BUT A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

YOU HAVE TO LOG IN VIA THE SITE (CHECK YOUR PROFILE AND SUCH) AND THEN SEND THIS. THIS IS SO THAT THERE CAN BE AN ACCOUNT THAT HOLDS YOUR STREAM DATA SO YOUR STREAM DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REFRESHED FOR EVERY RUN. (BEFORE THE ACCOUNTS IT HAD TO BE TIED TO EACH INDIVIDUAL RUN. ANNOYING.)

AS FOR HOW THIS IS GOING TO BE DISPLAYED ON THE SITE... THAT IS YET TO BE SEEN. RIGHT NOW YOU WILL HAVE TO SCROLL THE PLAYERS PAGE AND CLICK ON THE ICONS.

HOPEFULLY A GOOD IDEA WILL SURFACE.

HERE IS A TENTATIVE LIST OF CHANGES.

#REGFORBIDDEN IS GONE - THIS WAS A FUN LITTLE THING BUT THE SURPRISE IS GONE!

#REGADVANCE IS HERE - #REGFORBIDDEN IS GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN! YOU CAN APPLY TO PLAY WITH THE GBA JOBS.

#FORBIDDEN IS STILL KIND OF HERE - JUST LIKE WITH #REGFORBIDDEN FROM LAST YEAR, WHEN YOU GET TO THE VOID YOU TWEET #VOID TO LOSE A RANDOM JOB! THIS CAN BE APPLIED AS AN OPTION. THE (EXCLUSIVE) OPTIONS ARE NOW: #NATURAL, #UPGRADE, #FIFTHJOB AND #FORBIDDEN.

#REGPOPULAR HAS BEEN UPDATED - NEW VOTES MEANS NEW FORMULAS!

HERE I SHALL CATALOGUE THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ASKED IN REGARDS TO THE UPCOMING (OR CURRENTLY GOING ON, OR FINISHED DEPENDING ON WHEN YOU READ THIS, I AM NOT CAPABLE OF THAT MUCH TIME MANIPULATION)

Is the 22nd the start date or the prereg date please?

THE EVENT WILL START ON DECEMBER 22, 2018.

what about the use of stat-boosting espers?

YOU MAY NOT EQUIP ESPERS.

I was wondering if you would chime in on Gau's Rages, Setzer's Slots, Mog's Dances, and Strago's Lores. I'm going to guess the Rages and Slots are ok, but the Dances and Lores not.

IF IT IS ACCESSED FROM A MENU LABELED "MAGIC" YOU MAY NOT USE IT IN THE EVENT.

If you don't have all of your characters available, do you just use someone else, or do you stay short a party member?

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'RE DOING THIS EVENT, SO LET'S BE FLEXIBLE. HAVING TROUBLE? USE WHO YOU HAVE. WANT A CHALLENGE? KILL OFF CHARACTERS FORCED INTO YOUR PARTY THAT AREN'T PART OF YOUR SELECTED CHARACTERS (UNLESS OF COURSE THAT MEANS YOU COULD NOT PROCEED WITH THE GAME.) TRY YOUR BEST TO FILL YOUR PARTY WITH YOUR FOUR CHARACTERS WHEN YOU CAN.

how is kefka's tower gonna work?

AH, THE SPLIT PARTY DUNGEONS. THIS DEPENDS ON A LOT, HUH? YOUR ASSIGNED PARTY, WHO YOU HAVE, AND SO ON. ALL I CAN SAY IS DO YOUR BEST. I MEAN, IT IS POSSIBLE TO BEAT THE GAME WITH JUST CELES, EDGAR AND SETZER, SO HEY, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS.

What about rods/staves?

LET'S PUT THIS IN THE "OPTIONAL" CATEGORY. IF YOU WANT MORE OF A CHALLENGE, NO ROD/STAFF BREAKING. IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO DO IT, GO AHEAD.

Is use of Magic allowed for Terra and Celes? They learn it naturally and I'd argue it's kinda their primary special thing.

HEY, THEY HAVE RUNIC AND, UH, MORPH. LET’S PUT THIS INTO THE OPTIONAL CATEGORY LIKE RODS. TRY NOT TO, BUT IF YOU GOTTA, YOU GOTTA.

SO. EVERYONE HAS BEEN WONDERING WHAT #REGFORBIDDEN IS.

HERE'S THE BASIC IDEA. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE TOO MUCH AWAY BECAUSE HOW MUCH FUN IS THAT?

PLAY LIKE NORMAL. USE YOUR WIND JOB. UNLOCK YOUR WATER AND FIRE JOBS. USE THEM. UNLOCK YOUR EARTH JOB. THINGS MAY COME IN A SLIGHTLY WEIRD ORDER. THINGS MAY APPEAR NORMAL.

IN THIS RUN, BEFORE YOU ENTER THE VOID TO FINISH THE GAME YOU MUST TWEET #VOID AT @FF5FORFUTURES. SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN.

HERE YOU GO! PDF OR PNG

ENJOY!

THAT IS CORRECT. THIS MEANS RK WILL HAVE TO BUY A COPY OF FINAL FANTASY 12, WHICH WILL PAIN HIM. THEN HE MUST PLAY FINAL FANTASY 12, WHICH WILL PAIN HIM. HE WILL ALSO STREAM THE WHOLE THING. THAT IS OUR BIG GOAL THIS YEAR. $20,000 OR MORE AND RK WILL DO THAT THING HE DOES NOT WANT TO DO. BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU.

ALSO, THERE IS APPARENTELY THIS THING CALLED "YIAZMAT" IN THE GAME THAT RK DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT. APPARENTLY IT IS A DIFFICULT BATTLE. RK WILL DO IT IF $30K IS MET.

HI. IT IS TWO-THOUSAND-SEVENTEEN. WOW. THAT'S A LOT OF YEARS. THE FIESTA HAS BEEN RUNNING SINCE TWO-THOUSAND-NINE. MORE WOW. OKAY SO LAST YEAR WE RAISED $19365.61! THAT IS COOL. WHAT CAN WE DO THIS YEAR? I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE.

ANYWAY. YOU CARE ABOUT THE NEW STUFF. SO HERE IT IS.

#REGPOPULAR THIS ONE GIVES YOU JOBS KIND OF LIKE #CHAOS BUT THE PROBABILITY IS WEIGHTED TOWARDS HOW PEOPLE VOTED FOR THE JOBS IN THE SPRING. SO IT'S A WEIRDLY WEIGHTED CHAOS. NOT ENTIRELY RANDOM. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT WHAT YOU GET.

#FIFTHJOB WHEN KRILE JOINS, YOU'LL TWEET #KRILE AS IF SHE WAS SOME SORT OF CRYSTAL. THEN YOUR EARTH JOB WILL BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER JOB (BASED ON YOUR RUN TYPE). YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THAT OLD JOB OR ITS SKILLS ANYMORE. IT WILL GO BYE-BYE WITH GALUF. (OH DANG, SPOILERS.)

LAST YEAR WE RAISED $15593.00

WE ARE NOT EVEN HALFWAY THROUGH JULY AND WE B-B-BUSTED LAST YEAR'S TOTATL.

NOW THE GOAL IS $17,000.

ARE WE GOING TO DO IT?

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY QUESTIONS ASKING FOR A CLARIFICATION ON THE NEW CHAOS RUN IN THIS YEAR'S FEISTA.

ALLOW ME TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE CLEAR THAN "YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED JOBS".

YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED JOBS FROM FINAL FANTASY 5.
