Wait, why does everyone know what classes they are getting?

It's more fun to surprise people, pre planning takes the fun out of it!

Because we don't have spoiler tags similar to NeoGaf. It would be total mess if I would put every class behind spoiler tags with dozens of buttons on the screen. I had considered doing whole PHP-application for it, but I'm little too busy to waste time on that.

copy paste and fill in the rest.

It's not like you had that many people to do them out for. Would have taken maybe five minutes.

Would have been better than GAF's spoilers because you couldn't accidently overhighlight.

Ranger = Trainer right?

Xenogears of Bore

Ranger=Ranger or was it Hunter in FFV (PSX)? Regardless, dude in green.
Beast Master=Trainer.

Ranger is the awesome dude that allows you to get four hits at 1/2 damage and uses bows to beat on people.

Beast Master gives you the pokemon cannon as I call it.

Oh duh, ranger = archer or hunter... should have known that. I was just looking at jobs listed for FFV anthologies and didn't see ranger.

So, I won't be able to get healing blue magic then with this group, bah

I forgot that you can cascade spoilers, wait for sec...

Joeslop

Siren down.

Spoiler:

Guard apparently reduces any physical attacks to 0 damage. So when she goes undead, I just Guard nonstop to take no damage instead of 100 a shot. A lot easier after that.

I will probably start this monday, as I'm at festivals for whole weekend.

I have to try that, she kicked my ass.

Well this is odd... Start the game and then when I go to save bam... black screen and nothing. PS3 still works and lets me hit the PS button. Anyone know if this game has problems with PS3?

FFV for playstation? It barely works on the PS2, whenever you save, you get a screen of random pixels everywhere. The cursor is still there and you can still save if you know what you are doing, but you can't see shit.

On the ps3, I don't know, but I assume since it isn't technically compatible with the ps2, its not going to work properly on the 3.

*Reads first job - Blue Mage* ...Hmm, so I get a slow to build up, but ultimately powerful one...
*Reads second job - Time Mage* ...and then I get to cast Haste on them...
*Reads third job - Ranger* ...I forget which one Ranger is.
*Reads final job - Chemist* ...hahaha... hahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *evil laughter continues*

Ranger is the bow user that has the incredible rapid fire ability.

Too bad you have no beatsticks in which to put it on.

Ah, looks like it's called "Hunter" on mine then.

Zerokku

Because of all the confusion with mine and white mage, could I get a reroll? If not that's fine, I just wouldn't mind a second chance now that the confusion has been settled.

Sigtyr

Monk, Beserker Bard and Samurai.

Interesting stuff.

Joeslop

Good Lord, 4 Knights rock everything. Level 11, Galuf and Faris have Two-Hand, doing almost 300 damage a shot.

I didn't even have to heal for the elephant boss guy, just slash slash.

Okey dokey. You have new package. Check OP.

RPGeek

I'm an FF5 whore, so sign me up.

Lost

Woo, alright. I'll be starting up a game later today.

Radikal_Dreamer

Well I was going to play this on my PS3 but twice already it's gone just black screen while trying to save. I may have to try it on my PS2, but I think I'm burnt out for today.

Joeslop

If you want to save up a bunch of money and have some sort of attack to hit 5 enemies at once, the Wild Nakk's (look like dogs) in the forest outside Karnakk drop 625 gil per battle.

I've got Shiva so I'm just racking up the green (silver?).

Xenogears of Bore

Even more importantly, they are easy as shit to kill with very few hp, and are a 100% encounter rate in those woods.

Great if you need a ring or four for a boss fight.

Varethius

Man, i wish I had a working copy of FF5 =(
would love to play again, especially in this more than interesting way.

BlitzAce1981

Well. my mob of Blue Mages have left the Wind Crystal with Aero and GobPunch. Now heading back to the pirate cave to grab more spells before heading to the canal.

Satanic Jesus

Throw my name in too. GBA version (but played on a DSLite

BlitzAce1981

Siren defeated:

Spoiler:

All party members shoved in the back row, attempted one Aero, but it did 10 damage, so I spent the entire fight spamming GobPunch for ~45 damage, with the occasional RedFeast or Tonic to heal (depending on whether she was in Undead mode or not).

IvanIssacs

I'm down for this. I'll dig up my copy of FFVa. Sign me up. Need something else to play during my break/lunch.

Sigtyr

Destruction of the Water Crystal.

Spoiler:

Pretty much wrecking every boss fight with monks. Travel through the area with them sporting Chakra for regular fights, switch to Focus and just let loose. Just obtained the Berserker class. Currently pondering what I should give them in terms of mastered skills, Counter or HP+. Maybe even Barehanded? Never really used the Berserker class so I don't know what to choose.

I'm particularly worried about future fights though. Especially since I'll either have to rely heavily on Chakra for heals and items. And..I'm not really sporting much in terms of magic ability.

Oh well. Cross that bridge when I get there.

Joeslop

Just finished the Fire Crystal.

Spoiler:

Things are starting to slow down a bit since I have a Summoner instead of 4 Knights but Sylph is pretty useful. When do I get the other 3 shards from the Fire Crystal? I want to see what my Ranger will do.

AlienCowThatMoos

I'm in. I need an excuse to get around to playing through this game.

Radikal_Dreamer

Ok, I finally got a version to work. Started playing through the beginning again and I'm at the wind shrine... again . Soon I'll actually get my first job opened.

Zerokku

I forgot how much I love the music in this one.

I...I...can't do this. It would cause my head to explode. Half the reason why I loved FF5 was the scitzo class structure.

Logicow

I'm totally up for that, but I need some precisions on how it works.

You use freelancer until the job is available?

No, when your first job is available I believe you have to use all that job. Then 2nd you can use a combination of the two, but you have to have both out, and 3rd you have to have all 3 and one double, and then with the 4th you can't have any doubles.


Got my first job, Blue Mage. My team looks like a bunch of wacky super heroes.

Aaah, that's pretty cool. Sign me up.

Late edit: Got my first job set and am waiting to know what I'll end up with. I took a bunch of pictures along the way but I'm not sure how I'll post them.

elkatas

Bump. Added AlienCowThatMoos, IvanIssacs, LogicCow, RPGGeek, and Satanic Jesus to the list.

Zerokku

Satanic Jesus is a lucky bastard. Blue mage and beast master.

Joeslop

The Ranger's Animal ability is much more helpful than I thought it would be since I don't have a dedicated healer.

Nightingale heals 250-300 on everyone, for free. Much better than Sylph.

Satanic Jesus

I also get Red Mage (yes!) and Samurai (woo!)!
