It's That Time Again: The FFV4JF is here

What is the Final Fantasy Five Four Job Fiesta, you ask?
Every year, players from all over the world play Final Fantasy 5, with the restriction of using only four randomly assigned jobs throughout the entirety of the game. There are different rules you can register that affect the pool of jobs from which you are randomly assigned, and if you don't like one of the jobs you get, you can donate a small amount of money to get it changed. The whole thing is for charity, so this is encouraged!

I love this event, and it's a great excuse to explore and play one of the better final fantasy games out there. Who else is joining up this year?

Wow, really sneaks up on ya.

Are there any new rules this year? I'll probably sign up, but I'd like to make it more interesting this time around.

I registered for this last night: #RegChaosNo750 #fifthjob. Rolled the first 4 jobs in advance, like I always do, and got: Mystic Knight, Ranger, Monk, Dragoon. If history is any indication though, I will not actually complete a run this year

I'm working through my run now. I just got to World 3 and am without one of my party members. Do folks here who've done the fiesta before recommend running from every battle to keep the levels about even or should I not worry about it, since it doesn't seem from what I've read that levels matter too much in the long run and I have a chemist who can do some fun level manipulation anyway?

(For the curious, I'm doing a normal run and have rolled White Mage, Red Mage, Ranger and Chemist. I originally rolled Berzerker for my water crystal job but used job fair to replace it with Red Mage because that'd have been no fun and this is my first time)

Definitely dont worry about any level discretion that may result from having Lenna out of the party for a while. That's also a pretty strong party! You should be able to steamroll the endgame if you play your cards right.

Whenever I roll chemist I always keep a !Mix chart handy on my phone browser so that I dont have to memorize how to get Dragon Power or whatever else.

I need to continue my run. Well, start my run I guess. I havent even got the first crystal yet.

And that caps my first (and only for this year) run! This was super fun and as far as challenge runs go, quite doable! But that's not all.

It took a few tries and some experimenting (not to mention a lucky coral ring drop to give me a full set for the party) but eventually I stumbled on a good Shinryuu strategy! I'm... still debating whether or not I'm going to go back to finish off Omega - it looks like that's going to require some exp grinding and I kinda need a break before doing that, if I decide to at all. Regardless, a good time was had.
