    Final Fantasy V - Four Job Fiesta

    Bard is one of the best jobs in the game though Truly game-breaking potential.

    Final Fantasy V, it's Four Job Fiesta season. On my second run.

    Anime of the Season

    I watched a few minutes of the first episode at the start of the season, maybe I'll give it another go.
  4. So what are you all doing to keep busy/entertained as the pandemic drags on (and on and on and on) ? I have full blown pandemic fatigue, I'm over it all. I try to continue minding the rules when I'm out at stores and stuff, but even that is proving to be a challenge these days. This morning I took my kids out to play on the play structure and swing sets at our local park, closed signs be damned; it's hot and sticky in our apartment and they're so bored. The changes I've noticed in my 9 year old's behavior and overall mental well-being over the weeks on end at home seem to be far worse than the risk of contracting the coronavirus. I sure hope school opens as planned in September Also just found out two days ago that my daughter's summer soccer is totally cancelled I got a new bicycle a few weeks ago - not an easy task right now! - and have been riding more and more. I used to be Mr. Cyclist when I lived in Toronto and then Vietnam. Haven't had a decent bike, or the time, in recent years. But I'm back in the saddle now. I've been doing 20 km rides on weekend mornings. That used to be easy, now not so much. But I'm slowly getting back into shape. I still of course play my bass a ton, watch some anime, try to keep my kids entertained. Need some new ideas though.

    Slow, Haste, Stop, Float, the ability to break rods for endless -aga spells, Comet for offense in Galuf's world, and then Quick and Meteor late game (plus you will have White Mage's Holy). You've officially got an easy win Time Mage is one of the jobs that basically breaks this game.

    Anime of the Season

    For me it's a tie between Fruits Basket and Wave, Listen to Me! Honorable mention to Listeners which started out with a bang, started to lose me a bit in the middle, but ended strong. Anime original, 12 episodes, good story with an actual ending. Pretty much exactly what I look for every season

    Final Fantasy V - Four Job Fiesta

    My solo run is progressing... slowly Started with Thief, which required power-levelling to get through to the Water crystal. At least I learned !Mug in the process. Rolled Berserker for my Water job - of course. More grinding to be able to get past LiquiFlame. Rolled Beastmaster for Fire job. I actually like Beastmaster, but it's not as good as the other jobs I could have gotten. Getting through to the Earth crystal won't be *hard* but it will be a bit of a slog. I peaked ahead and my Earth job is Dragoon, so I'll be finishing the game as a Dragoon with Thief and Beastmaster abilities in his arsenal. Again, shouldn't be too hard... but it won't exactly be a breeze.

    2019-20 NHL Season

    Yeah just throw the season away. Basketball might have to do the same thing. And it's still unclear if baseball can salvage their season, last I heard the players and league were not close to an agreement yet.

    Spring Anime 2020

    Yeah I was following it weekly. Bummed that it ended, but hopefully it will come back for a third season eventually. Maybe the manga needs more time before there is enough material for more anime.

    Final Fantasy V - Four Job Fiesta

    It will be slow going, yeah, but at least you can cast Protect on front row characters and heal lots. Get the Healing Staff for free unlimited castings of Cura. Hopefully your Fire job will be better, otherwise Byblos is going to be a headache for you.

    Final Fantasy V - Four Job Fiesta

    I started a second run, gonna make it a solo run for a bit of a challenge. First job is Thief. Not the easiest start, but workable.

    Final Fantasy V - Four Job Fiesta

    And we're done Pretty much a flawless final boss battle. Too easy. My party was in the level 29-32 range because I wasn't running from all the random encounters in the final dungeons. Could have won at lower levels, though too low and I wouldn't have had enough HP to survive Alamagest even with Mighty Guard up.

    Final Fantasy V - Four Job Fiesta

    I guess if you're trying to speed run it or do a solo challenge then it helps to have more intimate knowledge of the game, but otherwise you don't really need that much knowledge of the game! Only a couple more dungeons to take care of so I can get Holy for my White Mage and then I'll be ready to hit the Void. I got hung up for a bit this afternoon trying to find a Stingray to learn Mighty Guard from (super rare encounter) but I got it eventually! NeoExdeath will be easy for this team.

    Final Fantasy V - Four Job Fiesta

    @Eizan @Rulkster Did either of you sign up for the Fiesta this summer? I'm close to halfway through my run, just about to go up the Barrier Tower. Very easy run with the jobs I rolled.

    [06/14/20] Weekly What Have You Been Playing?

    I got started on my FFV Four Job Fiesta run yesterday at work. Liberal use of fast forward and good luck with my jobs = I'm about a third of the way done already. First job I rolled was Blue Mage - one of the best jobs in the game and a personal fav - then as expected Berserker was my Water Crystal job. Summoner and White Mage round out my party. This is going to be a cakewalk.

    Spring Anime 2020

    I also found that episode interesting, but I'm a bit annoyed that they're introducing these new mysteries 11 episodes in I guess this show is going to keep running through the summer season or end with a cliffhanger and come back later. I'll have to keep watching it because they've hooked me now, but I hope it doesn't stretch on for too long.

    I haven't watched any of the videos or read much of the coverage, but my instant reactions are: - it is very ugly - it's probably gonna be obscenely expensive, especially here in Canada

    Probably just going to use SNES9x or bsnes (higan now..?) standalone as I don't really have need for an emulation suite like RetroArch or OpenEmu. I'm just playing one SNES game

    [06/01/20] Weekly What Have You Been Playing?

    Didn't pick up my Switch all week. Anime and music still taking priority. But I think I'll try to bang out another chapter or two in Cosmic Star Heroine this afternoon, I did manage to at least get myself out of the place I was stuck in last weekend ALSO gotta dust off my SNES emulator because the FF5 Four Job Fiesta starts in 10 days

    Spring Anime 2020

    A couple weeks ago I started watching Wave, Listen to Me! I'm enjoying it a lot so far. It can be pretty random, there's some comedy, some drama, some just absolute wackiness. Love the visual style. My dark horse candidate for anime of the season.
  25. I've been feeling the need to re-watch Gundam Wing again lately
