    The time would certainly be right for a new console FF that featured FFIX's colorful, cartoony aesthetic.

    We have the technology now to make something like this happen:

    We just....lack the manpower.

    BD:FF is FF IX's sequel in the looks department.

    An overachiever in the successor department, that game.

    But it needs more dwarves and Qu.

    I decided to start a Fiesta run after all. I really, really dislike FFV's prologue. I've learned to just tap away absentmindedly while doing something else to get through it these days, but of all the mainline games, I find it to be the most grating.

    Any case! White Mage fun. Never drawn that one before. Helpful in the long run, but damage is gonna be an annoyance for a while.

    I pulled White Mage as well and life is nothing but regrets currently.

    Just remember the sweet rewards you will reap. Affordable and reliable healing. Status cures and defense boosts. The best single-target damage spell in the game.

    White Mage is a pretty easy draw in the fiesta. It's just slow.

    Thief is the real problem.

    IX is incredible until the story moves past the first continent. Then, it's very brown, very barren, and just gets boring.

    The first continent, though? I want that shit injected into my veins.

    Doing a Fiesta run this year. Drew monk first. I assume I just go through the first world punching everyone to death and buying a ton of potions, correct?

    I never got past the first 8 hours of FFIX. I stopped playing when I got to Cid. I guess I'm a broody sort but I'll take Squall over Zidane any day of the week. I also wonder why none of the FF9 crew made it into a Kingdom Hearts game? (Or did they? I haven't played a number of them like BbS or DDD.)

    you punch things so hard you usually don't even need to bother with the potions and can get away with healing with tents at save points.

    Sorry you are right.

    Vivi is a fucking pain in the ass in the KH2 intro.

    Actually was it Vivi that was a pain? I remember one of the opponents being a real annoyance if you wanted to win.

    Well, Seifer and "Setzer" are kind of jokes if you know what you're doing. But Vivi's all jacked up on glitch magic and fights all hyper agressive, so I'd say Vivi is probably the one you meant.

    Yeah, the usefulness of Monk dwindles as the game progresses, at least if you're not grinding, but Monk is probably the best class early on (though obviously you probably want Blue Mage or White Mage for how awesome they are at the end).

    Ha. I never knew that Siren had an undead mode before now. Apparently I've always wiped her out before the switch. That was much less of a horrible grind than I anticipated!

    Black Mage also makes the beginning (and end) a complete joke.

    Yeah, this is my first time with White Mage too. Should be fun! I'm glad the first big area is full of undead :P

    the rough fight for monks is byblos. if your punches aren't strong enough he'll debuff you to uselessness.

    Alright, looks like I rolled a Monk for the Wind Crystal.

    Time to punch some mans.

    And second job is Mystic Knight. Now that's a setup I can do some work with.

    Edit: Also, all praise the flail. Only way I managed to chip away at Garula while having everybody else serve as a healbot.

    There is at least one guy doing a classic run with 4 white mages. He won't get a better weapon until midway though world 2.

    My Thief/Thief/White Mage/Black Mage classic group made it to Neo-Exdeath, but they need more health.

    Have you heard the good word of the spell Shell? Aka the best spell in the game?

    Now rocking White Mage, Mystic Knight, and Ninja.

    Now's a good time, try the Fiesta! It's not a normal experience, but it's a lot of fun and you'll have basically the entire thread going through it with you now, which is cool :)

    Pretend I was interested in doing so. What's the best method for going about such? Internet seems to think GBA release, but I'm not sure how easy that would be to find near me.

    If you can put up with the virtual control pad and bad sprites, the mobile version is just fine.

    Yep. If you don't have GBA access, go mobile. You want to avoid the PS1 translation.

    Ugh, I'd really rather not play a jRPG on my phone; it sounds neither appealing nor fun. Also, don't want to give SE any money for phone ports when they could instead be porting to better gaming devices!

    I'll see if the retro shop near me has the GBA version.

    Vivi might be in KH2, but he got the zipper treatment. So many zippers.

    I have a podcast about Digimon called the Digital Moncast, on Audio Entropy.
