My class combination starts out high in power but plateaus pretty fast. The Knight still does good damage (I got Excalibur) as long as the enemy doesn't absorb Holy (screw you, Odin), summons do great damage, but Ranger has been slowly going down hill. I tried out Rapid-shot with a Knight, and ended up doing less damage than a single hit with Two-Hand.
Chemist of course is the savior of the team. Still need to find a place to farm Turtle Shells, Dragon Fangs and Dark Matter.
So, Got to the Fork Tower. The Minotaur boss was a push over, what with my Samurai sporting A Main Gauche, Aegis Shield, Mirage Vest and Elven Mantle with his natural additional evasion. Zen'd him to death with my Berserker striking him with the occasional axe strike. Took less than two minutes.
Then I went against Omniscient. I hid out of battle to avoid his spells and dwindle down his 50000 MP total. Finished the fight about six hours later (I didn't sit there and watched him cast spells over and over. I just plugged my DS into the wall and left it alone). Came out of Hiding when he had no MP left and just pummeled the poor old coot into submission. Got the sub, went after the third tablet, I ran out of potions (99 Potions 99 Hi-Potions) on the way through the lava the first time to the Tablet, had to use a couple of elixirs to get back out. Killed the trio in a couple of seconds. Zeninage is quite overpowered. As long as the enemy isn't immune to physical damage.
And finally after the fourth tablet, got myself a pair of Kaiser Knuckles, which added quite the damage boost to my Monk's damage, a truly needed boost. Boost's kick too so that's nifty. Slayed Leviathan. Went through the phoenix tower, got to the top, went back down. Now deciding whether or not to go slay Bahamut for some experience. I'm only in my late thirties so I don't know if I'm ready to get through the Void.
Okay, this is me being dumb (most likely since it is my first time playing FFV. I will put it behind a spoiler in case it gets too long.
So I just finished the Wind Shrine and got a whole bunch of jobs. One of those is Black Mage which is in my list. Do I have to make everybody in my party Black Mages now? Can I sub-class like the tutorial told me or does it not do me any good to subclass as White Mage without being able to level it up as a primary class?
From what I've seen on the neogaf thread for it, you can only play the jobs you have on your list, no Freelancers/Bares allowed. So once you get the Wind Crystal jobs, you can only use the one you got on your particular list(ie: Black Mage).

Thanks for the help.
As far as this challenge is concerned, once you get your first class from the crystal, everyone in the party has to be that class. When you get the second crystal, you have to have at least one class from the first crystal and one class from the second crystal.
You should post some of the screens you did on GAF.
You asked for it.
Update 1
OK! Let's start!
Bartz is dumb. Jimmy is a cooler name. He's Jimmy from now on.
The beginning of FFV is always a little tough. What with no skills at all to start with.
Luckily, they're generous with the "magic water."
MASH A! MASH A! MASH A FASTER!
All right! Victory! Now let's see what cool job I get for this challenge!
OK then. Black Mage it is. Could be worse (I didn't want to get White Mage).
And so, four wielders of the dark art of Black Magic go off to save the world!
Update 2
I start with buying the dark magicks I shall need.
Next, the only armor these guys can wear right now. Seriously.
Finally, some magic rods.
With everything geared up I spend every other cent I have on potions. I'll need a lot of them.
Meanwhile Jimmy angsts because his dad is gone or something but who cares?
I CAN SET THINGS ON FIRE NOW!
Meanwhile Lenna angsts over more crap.
But then we learn how to electrocute squid.
It should be noted that I've been oneshotting everything. If it dosn't die to fire it dies to thunder (and ice's time will come. It's time will come) After a bit of fun death bringing, I run into my first real boss!
HOLY CRAP ITS A GIANT CRAP SCORPION THING! WE'RE GUNNA DIE!
Oh wait right. I can electrocute it.
That was easy. I literally just cast a few Thunders and it was done.
Sadly I was so drunk on [strike]beer[/strike] [strike]magic water[/strike] power that I forgot to fill the boat with gas.
So we crashed.
TO BE CONTINUED.
Update 3
This latest session I learned a lot of things.
I learned that the place I crashed in is filled to the brim with zombies.
I also learned that the undead burn about as well, if not better, then the living.
I also learned that Jimmy can breathe underwater.
Unfortunately so can the zombies.
Luckily, it turns out that they burn just as well underwater as they do above water.
I learned that Faris is a girl.
This is a good thing for Jimmy. It means that his deep and hidden lust for her does not mean he's gay.
I learned that Jimmy is in fact Our Lord and Savior.
I learned that the game makers for some reason decided to tuck the world map away in a corner of this area which you can miss, thus losing the world map forever. Creating a bit of an invonvience.
I learned that opening a chest can cause a sunken ship to rise. (wat)
I learned that the loved ones of 3/4 of the cast are soul sucking monsters.
I learned that Galuf, on the other hand, loves nobody.
I learned that there's an evil zombie queen running this entire mess.
And finally, I learned that Galuf can hit people so hard they get their souls back.
When you start the battle with casting slow, well, I don't like you.
So, I began nuking away with all my elemental magic, trying to spot her weakness.
Completely immune to magic.
Crap.
Thankfully, after a few rounds she changed into an undead.
I am grateful for this.
From past experience, we know that undead burn. Really well.
It still wasn't easy because I was being hammered on every second, and then she cast Haste on herself.
Leena and Faris both had to be revived in the battle.
But in the end I won. With everyone alive too!
I've been doing pretty good so far, let's see if I can keep it up!
Well, going to bed now. Continue playing tomorrow.
Update 4
Hooray, a new town.
That means new stuff!
This troubled economy has driven the price of Phoenix Downs through the roof.
So that's what that thing was. Guess it's important.
Picking up Sleep. More magic is good.
Through short sighted use of technology, humanity is destroying its natural resources.
OK Square, we get it.
Hooray! Cotton Robes!
Sleep is useful for two reasons.
1) I have the defense of several paper towels. So stopping attacks is good.
2) Enemies wake up from sleep after being hit with a physical attack Magical attacks don't effect them at all. As such, I can put them to sleep and blast with impunity.
What are these? Are these cats with little fake bat wings? Seriously? What is up with these. They're dumb. Really dumb and weird.
Jimmy is tempted to smoke the reefer, but then he realizes he's a winner.
AND WINNERS DON'T USE DRUGS!
Instead he sleeps in a cave and has sex dreams about Faris. (Faris slept outside tonight... and probably considered staying far, far away from Jimmy)
After this we ran into this crazily dressed lady who wanted to give Lenna to her husband as a sex slave. (wat)
After blasting her for a bit she called her husband.
And I put him to sleep. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Note that I didn't take any damage from the point she called him. None.
We run into the rare wind dragon.
We can ride it the moment we get it "dragon grass"
Sadly Lenna got distracted by the reefer and spent the next six hours staring at her hands.
WE CAN FLY NOW! AWESOME! RAIN FIRE FROM THE HEAVENS!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Update 5
First things first.
Once I gained the power of flight I went off to Lenna's house to rob it of everything valuable.
That night Lenna and Faris had a hidden midnight meeting! None must know of their forbidden love!
Not even Jimmy. Ok. Especially Jimmy.
Ok, I want to know what ancient eldritch gods the architects of this castle worship.
Finally, I head back to the plot
OK little girl. I promise I won't tease it.
I discover this. I almost never mess with customization options so this is pretty amusing. :P
Remember Jimmy! Don't tease it!
I SAID NOT TO TEASE IT.
...yeah. I won. But just barely. It wiped out my entire party except for Jimmmy, and as he desperately cast Blizzard, he somehow managed to win.
And with that one of the four elemental cornerstones of the world shattered, surely this will lead to the complete destruction of our world.
Who cares though. New Job!
Red Mage is my second favorite Final Fantasy class. So I'm glad I got this. With RM I can actually cast some healing magic on myself. Plus, Doublecast Black Magic... eventually.
Yay. I get to hit people with swords again.
Update 6
In my pillaging of Lenna's house I managed to get the ever useful Healing Staff!
Here you go Lenna, heal us good.
Plus, actual White Magic! Hooray! I can cast Cure now!
Inside that meteor Jimmy is attracted to the shiny vortex and jumps in.
Luckily, it just takes us to the other side of the world instead of Hell or something.
New continent means new monsters.
Which means more EXP and Gi-
OH COME ON WHAT IS WITH THIS.
This. This freaking monster. It's horrible. It takes forever to kill, and dosn't have any elemental weaknesses at all. Ugggg I hate it. Change of plans, back to the old continent.
Bigger swords is good. They kill faster.
Jimmy and Lenna are both geared up to actually hurt things without magic now.
TAKE THAT YOU DUMB SACK OF FEATHERS! HAHAHAHAHAH DIE! DIE! DIE!!!
...ahem.
Moving on.
I reach Karnak.
And get arrested on nothing but hearsey because this country is a dictatorship.
It sucks.
Luckily I get out rather quickly, and I'm told to go help save the Fire Crystal.
...maaaaybe later
New Magic Rods...
New magic spell....
An ice goddess...
BURN EVERYTHING
And a handful of wizards beat the crap out of an ancient goddess.
I rock.
Update 7
Oh excuse me I was just busy enslaving a god.
Oh sure complain blah blah blah I'm the Light Warriors! You owe us just for existing.
Moving through the ship was pretty simple.
It went like this.
Encounter Monsters > Cast Blizzara > Cast Thundra if Motor Traps drop in > Win.
I also found Thief Gloves. Which are useless for me.
The boss is a pure elemntal being of fire.
So I blast it with ice spells. Presumably the ice is melting on it and dousing out the flames.
Blizzara + Frost Rod = Lots of damage on this thing.
Whoo! I won!
What happened after that?
HOLYCRAPRUNRUNRUNWHYARETHECHESTBOOBYTRAPPEDOHCRAP Why must my greed be so punished!?
I was in such a hurry I forgot to screenshot the second boss!
Oh well!
I got a new job too.
Beastmaster! This should be interesting. I usually only use this class for Blue Magic.
Hmmm... think I'll switch Lenna back to Black Mage once I get Red3.
Update 8
How did I accomplish this feat?
Pure cowardice.
Update 9
A whole lot of people running around in a panic in this library.
Let's go kill everything living in it.
Jimmy feeds his [strike]alcohol[/strike] magic water addiction.
All the monsters in this library are possessed books.
I have Fira and Flame Rods to spare.
Guess what happens.
I meet Ifrit.
I also have Blizzara and Frost Rods to spare.
Man this is easy.
........
Picture around five Fira castings in between the previous two pictures.
I did all that for nothing?
Somehow I remember this part being harder...
Update 10
I got to see the awesome sight of a nerd beating up an old man!
After Cid got sense smacked into him, they went off to make me a ship.
While I was waiting, Galuf began to angst.
Seeing Cid smacked reminded him that he was once beaten up by a little girl. He suspects the shame over this is what gave him amnesia in the first place.
Jimmy got bored of the drama and went off to use their new ship!
And promptly ended up lost in the middle of nowhere in a dead end town.
I don't know what Jimmy was doing with that sheep, but it didn't like it.
They shortly afterwords ran into a weird old man in the woods.
What was he doing out there?
Who knows. Jimmy just beat the crap out of him and shoved him into a pokeball.
Man the Light Warriors are jerks.
Update 11
Ouch. These monsters are nasty. They can one hit KO Jimmy with their Fin attack.
Luckily, they're weak to thunder.
After many hours of convincing, the party manages to get Galuf to give up his arcane powers over the elements in exchange for the power to talk to animals.
Galuf thinks he got a raw deal.
Later, Faris decides that if they ever get a boat again. Jimmy is never allowed to steer it again.
Desperate, stranded, and hungry for KFC, Jimmy spends the next six hours chasing this chocobo.
Luckily, Lenna realized it was the endangered Black Chocobo. If Jimmy had killed it he would have faced.... heavy fines!!!!!!
In exchange for sparing it, the Chocobo agrees to take them off this island.
BLACK CHOCOBO LAUGHS AT HIYRU'S PUNY ATTEMPTS AT FLIGHT!
I wonder how much AP Jimmy will have before I decide to switch his jobs again.
Update 12
With the power to fly anywhere in the world, Jimmy decides to take everyone to his hometown.
It's a nice little town in the mountains.
Returning home reminds him of his childhood.
Like that one time he got stuck on the roof for fourteen hours!
Good times. Good times.
Talking to his neighbors, Jimmy remembered why he left.
This is seemingly the only place on the planet that sells ethers.
This is important because Jimmy needs daily his three shots of [strike]vodka[/strike] ethers to face the day.
Also because my party burns through MP like nothing else.
Jimmy did something for the innkeeper, cause he lets them stay at his place for free.
That night, Jimmy goes off alone. Oh I wonder what sort of stupid thing he's-
Oh.
He's visiting his parents grave.
Faris follows him and they both angst about lack of parents together.
Jimmy conforts Faris and then Faris rememebers what Jimmy says in his sleep about her so she backs away a bit.
Oh yeah Jimmy vists his old house.
And remembers the day his mom died.
Leaving town Jimmy becomes so depressed Faris takes over party leading duties.
Update 13
We start off this session with running into the super dangerous Chimera.
Why?
So Galuf can shove it into a bottle.
We then get to hear Cid and Mid's genius idea of using the corpse of a horrible monster to cross the desert.
Are we ready?
Are we ready?
This a group of a Princess, a wandering weirdo, a cross dressing female pirate, and an amnesiac old man. All are masters of arcane magic and can control the very beasts of nature.
Don't even ask that question!
Normally one would simply use a Blue Mage to blast this thing with water. Me lacking a Blue Mage I used the next best thing. I threw the thing that naturally uses the spell at it.
Worked out pretty well all things considering.
Exploring ancient ruins, we find King Tycoon!
Who promptly throws us down a pit.
With Galuf gone and Jimmy unconscious, Lenna and Faris have some "alone time."
Once they reunite, they discover a teleporter. An incredible piece of magitechnology that would revolutionize the world, provide amazing archeological discoveries, and bring a new era of instant travel.
They break it.
Man the Light Warriors are jerks.
They take a nap in millennium old beds! What fun!
Hmm? What's this?
Odd....
>:(
Lenna stops us from destroying everything in a rage. So hey, an actual clue.
Not pictured, the frog jumping out and knocking the book down. What.
...
For two shurikens I can't use and a spell I can.
Hooray. I think.
This civilization deserved to be wiped out.
The most eventful thing to happen in this filler boss was Galuf chucking a bear at it. That was funny.
But anyways!
WHOO! AIRSHIP! THE ONE THING BETTER THEN BLACK CHOCOBO!
FLY AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 SECONDS
Update 14
Jimmy realized at this point that perhaps announcing he was going to single handedly destroy the defenses was perhaps a bad idea.
So he caved in and asked for help.
Thankfully, the Ancients didn't seem to understand the concept of "electrical insulation" so a couple Thundras took out the turrets with little problem.
Except for those weird misses shaped like fists that knocked Jimmy and Galuf silly for a while, those cause some problems.
To this day Jimmy denys that anything he said to Faris is how he feels about her.
This one is a funny story.
Jimmy, in his Rocket Punch induced confusion, decided to impress Fairs by making his penis larger.
Unfortunately, the only size changing spell he knows is Mini.
Jimmy is grateful that there aren't any more turrets to fight at this point.
Just this BFG.
Desperate for victory, Faris began breaking Jimmy's rods. Breaking the rods caused them to explode all over the BFG, showering it with hot power before it could spray its white death all over them.
Once they reduce the BFG to a pile of scrap, they went inside the city.
...:( I never wish I had Blue Mages more then I do now.
This boss.
This boss.
Completely raped me. I wiped twice to it. Oh sure, at first it wasn't that hard. Changing weakness type enemy. Oh hah easy enough when I can hit with all three elements at once.
Then it came back tp life.
Blasting with a dozen powerful spells, and using "Tusk" to do lots of damage and confuse me... it was a massive pain.
I finally won by giving Faris the Healing Staff, having her spam Cura and Protect, and hitting any confused person with it.
After beating it, surprise surprise, King Tycoon turns out to be possessed by evil.
Luckily, the evil is blasted out of him by a little magic using girl. Who's Galuf's granddaughter. You know, the one who beats him up.
She came back for him.
He got his memory back after seeing her.
Lenna introduced Faris to her dad. She then began explaining to him about how sometimes girls like other girls.
Of course, while they're all chattering happily, the Earth Crystal, already under stress, shatters when they could have done something about it instead of just talking.
Man the Light Warriors are idiots.
Of course then Exdeath shows up, turns the crystal shard evil, and then goes off to kick puppies and eat kittens.
Because he's evil
King Tychoon, realizing that as the parent of a main character, he was doomed anyways, decided to sacrifice himself to turn the crystal pieces good again.
Which means that we get another Job!
I've never really used Dancer before. Well, first time for everything!
The ability to equip ribbons will come in handy, that's for sure.
Galuf, getting his memory back, realized he was traveling with a bunch of losers and ditched them and went back to his planet with Kirile.
...Jimmy was sad his drinking buddy was gone.
Jimmy then spent the next ten hours convincing Faris to switch to the Dancer job.
She agreed on the condition that she be made party leader again.
It's been one month since Galuf ditched the rest of our heroes?
What have they been up to since then?
Faris went back to her pirates to do pirate things. You know, like find treasure buried under large X's.
Lenna went back to Tycoon and is enjoying all the perks of being a dictator in an absolute monarchy ruled by divine right.
Shown here with her Chancellor, discussing whether or not to raise income taxes from 95% to 99%. Hey, those statues of her and parties won't pay for themselves.
As for Jimmy? Well, he's always had wanderlust. As such, he went back to doing what he was doing before he became a Light Warrior.
Finding each tree in the world, and peeing on it.
Such a noble goal.
But!
All of them remember the times they spent together. The adventures they had. The battles they won. The fact that they killed more living things then McDonalds, KFC, and Burger King combined. Plus, Lenna wanted to see her girlfriend again.
So... after a while. At a chance meeting on Crescent Island.
They reunited. After a bit of discussion, they decided to go find a way to reach Galuf, it just wouldn't be the same without him. Plus, Lenna wanted to see if she could take over another planet and become the first Interplanetary Monarch.
Lenna found Cid and explained to him her plan to become God-Empress of all worlds. Since he's a senile old man he agreed to help. Traveling to each meteor, they gathered power from them to form a warp to Galuf's world.
They ran into a few problems.
Bombs with magic and the power to revive their allies.
Nothing magically sealing their spells couldn't solve.
A different colored Chimera.
Faris literally danced it to death.
Oh come on. Old man. It can't be that scary you wussy senile old-
HOLYCRAPHESHUGEEVERYSTEPHETAKESRENDSTHEVERYEARTH-
....yeeeeaahhhh. I won!
And we forced it into servitude!
And with that, they're off! Ready to head to a new world! Filled with mysteries and wonder!
They jump! Fall up into the sky! Off to another planet!
And they made it! They're in Galuf's world! I wonder where they are now...
...on an uninhabited island. Alone. With nobody around.
Man the Light Warriors are idiots.
Update 16
Jimmy's Journal
Day 1
OK.
We're stuck on a small island. Nothing to do. No boats seem to pass by us.
Basically we're stuck here for now.
But that's OK! I'm optimistic! We'll find a way to get off this place, or perhaps even get rescued!
Until then I might as well enjoy Faris's company.
Mmmmm... Faris. Why do you ignore me?
Day 3
The only form of animal life on this island are these hordes of ugly pig things.
They're easy to kill, but their meat tastes bad.
Oh well, it's better then nothing. It gives us food so we can survive.
Faris is attached to Lenna's hip. Again.
God, why do lesbians exist? To torment us men?
Oh well.
I'll get her someday!
Day 13
Marked every tree in the forest now.
Well, now what do I do?
I should probably kill more of those pig things. God knows there are only a million of them.
I'm just glad I got used to their screaming at night. What is up with that anyways?
Day 24
Faris and Lenna had a fight. Maybe they broke up!
In which case I can catch Faris on the rebound! Score!
Day 30
Tried to catch Faris on the Rebound.
Knocked me out with Thundra.
Just woke up.
Day 40
Lenna's gone crazy.
She's pearched herself on top of the island, declared herself queen, and is demanding we take care of her or we'll be executed.
Day 45
Lenna got the Thunder, Fire, and Frost Rods.
May God help us all.
Day 59
THE WICKED QUEEN WILL FALL!
SHE WILL FALL!
DIE DIE DIE!!!
I've gathered my rebellion of Faris, and Boco, who's rejoined us as an invisible chocobo.
We will defeat her!
Day 73
Ohgodogodogodogodogod
We beat the queen when this thing came and took her away. A horrible monster that defies disiption!
It took Lenna and Faris and ogod what have I been doing
OH GOD
Day 75
they wont get me they wont get me.
Day 80
they've come.
Update 17
Fortunately it turns out the Light Warriors weren't dragged into Hell.
No, they were just captured.
Exdeath took the time out of his busy scheduling of stealing candy from babies running Sony's PR division to capture them all.
Galuf and Kirile were about to go singlehandedly defeat Exdeath because the two of them are three times as able as the rest of the party combined.
Seriously. Kirile is scary.
But then Exdeath reveals that he has the others prisoner and that if Galuf dosn't surrender he'll force them to watch nothing but The Penguins of Madagascar until they kill themselves.
This being a fate too cruel for any living being, Galuf decides its time to go Solid Snake on Exdeath's behind.
Sneaking into the base easily, Galuf runs into Gilgamesh, Exdeath's right hand man and most feared general. A dangerous tactical genius who is a master of hand to hand combat as well, he is truly a man to be feared.
Galuf kicks his behind.
He then busts the rest of the Light Warriors out.
Jimmy tries his hand on the whole "sneaking mission" thing.
Once they escape and reach the bridge, Faris pauses for a moment to air guitar to the best Final Fantasy music ever.
Dozens of monsters stand in their way! All trying to gain favor with Exdeath by killing the Light Warriors.
Well, at least they try.
Oh hai Gilgamesh.
I smack him around a bit. Enjoying the battle music.
Then he gets a little more serious and starts jumping around like a maniac. Ouch.
Suddenly in the middle of the fight, for no reason, he says he forgot something and leaves.
Odd. Oh well.
Oh wait, then the barrier around Exdeath's castle activates and flings everyone to a godforsaken part of the planet.
I just hope Lenna doesn't go crazy again.
Thankfully, it seems they're not on an island this time.
With Galuf back some rearranging of the jobs came.
Jimmy got Beastmaster duty. Faris took the Red Mage job cause she wanted the hat.
And Galuf?
Galuf became...
The Lord of the Dance.
Update 18
Jimmy: Hey Faris! Now can you go on a date with me? You said you would!
Update 19
Jimmy got turned into a zombie.
Nobody knows how this happened.
Plus, they don't know how to fix it.
Lenna tried Raise, all that did was knock him out for a few hours.
Cura just made him try to bite Faris.
And Galuf, Lord of the Dance's dancing did not effect his zombie heart.
So they just sort of dragged him along for a while.
Finally they discovered a town that, hopefully, contained a cure for Jimmy's case of undeath. Or perhaps a way to put him down to his final rest.
Fortunately, the shops sold Holy Water that could cure zombies.
Of course, this brings up the question of why something as sacred as Holy Water is being sold in bottles for 150 gil.
They decided not to ponder this question.
They're just glad they can sleep without Jimmy trying to eat someone's brain.
They then went shopping because, dispite the fact that this was a puny town in the middle of nowhere, it had equipment far superior to what they had.
NEW SPELLS! WHOO!
With this, sadly, Red Mage begins to lose it's versatility. !Red can't cast any of these spells. Fortunately, it'll still be useful for many other reasons.
1) Cura is still healing.
2) It's the only Job I have that can equip any heavy armor or swords. So it pretty much needs to be in the front lines.
3) Healing Staff. If whacking with a sword isn't needed, I can quickly heal with this, Red Mage is also the only Job I have that can use this.
New whip for Jimmy.
Faris banishes Jimmy to the back row after getting this.
Galuf, Lord of the Dance, gets a new knife.
And Faris picks up a new sword. That puts things to sleep.
Somehow a sword, a weapon made to break bones, cut skin, and kill... can put things to sleep.
Off to the next place!
Update 20
Galuf uses the power of interpretive dance to convince monsters to kill themselves.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaahhhh
Update 21
Our heroes stumble upon a weird white thing doing unspeakable things to a tree.
Turns out its a Moogle, a race of superintellegent engineers.
Lenna decides to recruit them, to help in her world domination plot.
...this involves chasing after it after it falls down a hole.
Into an underground river filled with water monsters!
Which they promptly electrocute.
The current drags them along, and would have drowned lesser men!
And women.
Yeah.
Some undead creature wants to eat the Moggle!
Lenna can't allow that!
ITS A GIANT UNDEAD T-REX.
That's so awesome Jimmy tries to use a Phoenix Down to bring it back to life.
Sadly, it doesn't work that well.
After saving the Moogle Lenna asks if it could take them to their leader after saving its life. It agrees and takes them to Moogle village.
Along the way they run into some giant sand worm thing that wants to eat them.
Bio is Lenna's new favorite spell.
With the Moogles on her side, Lenna will be unstoppable!
The Moogle offer them gifts. Surely wondrous machines.
Oh? What's this?
Galuf, Lord of the Dance, returns!
And then... the Moogles call their leader.
OH SHI-
Krile is not happy that Lenna wanted to take over the world. She considered killing her, but since she's a Light Warrior she needs to be alive.
So she spares them, after all, it's just like what everyone in Bel Castle is (forced to) say...
They now await their punishment.
Update 22
Our heroes were forced to be retail monkeys. Truly the most horrible punishment imaginable.
Lenna was made to clean the moat.
Take note of the fact that most castle's use the moat as a makeshift sewer system.
Yeah.
Then, Krile decided she wanted some "Dragon Grass." Unfortunately, there wasn't any in the castle.
So she sent the Light Warriors off to get some. In Drakenvale. A horrible place where nobody has returned alive.
Also, the moment they were kicked out, Exdeath's monsters attacked.
Yeeeaaahhh
Along the way they run into a village of werewolves. And like everyone else, didn't like Jimmy and attacked him.
After Jimmy fought off the werewolf it turned out he was a friend of Galuf, Lord of the Dance's and now Jimmy's the jerk for defending himself.
Man what a jerk.
Oh yeah Jimmy's dad was a Dawn Warrior and way cooler then him.
The jerk.
Hmm... I dunno. Pot doesn't sound very useful.
But Galuf, Lord of the Dance is getting senile in his old age, so he agrees.
Oh hey this is good.
Now I won't have to carefully whittle away monsters HP to catch them!
It's a lot easier to get them down to 1/2 HP then 1/8th.
Drakenvale is filled with horrible monsters and zombie dragons that they use Raise to send to the afterlife.
Someone who's a big a loser as Jimmy!
So Jimmy helps him because he's a jerk.
I think.
Also we find a Hypno Crown. So Galuf, Lord of the Dance, can now control monsters easier.
Oh yeah turns out the "Dragon Grass" Is a horrible plant rape monster.
It literally did not attack at all.
I just had Jimmy and Faris cast group Bio every turn. This killed the little plants and it spent all its turns just resummoning them. Lenna and Galuf, Lord of the Dance then just danced it to death.
So yeah, another really easy boss.
Well we finally have the "Dragon Grass."
Lenna smokes some and spend the next six hours staring at her feet.
Geez, why is Red Mage so expensive to Master.
Update 23
I'm just that awesome.
[strike]Galuf. Lord of the Dance[/strike] Krile is truly the ruler of a nation of geniuses.
They're all so glad they cleaned the moat.
Once inside Lenna OD'd on Dragon Grass.
I think Jimmy and Faris are going to have to perform an intervention here.
Then Krile OD'd on Dragon Grass.
However Galuf, Lord of the Dance, knows better then to try and stop her. Otherwise she'll smash his testicles on a rock.
They decide to swipe her Wind Drake and ask the wise 700 year old sage on how to deal with all this crap.
Oh wait the island is sinking.
Darn it Exdeath go back to your Activision executive job! Stop doing this crap.
They figure they need to find an alternate path to deal with Exdeath now.
This is Xezat. One of the Dawn Warriors and is thus a cool guy like Galuf, Lord of the Dance.
He has a plan to destroy the tower so tells us to go nap.
Being a bunch of lazy people, the Light Warriors oblige.
Oh crap monsters.
What's worse is that Gilgamesh's theme is playing. So Jimmy knows that he's there.
Yup.
We start by casting Protect. He hits hard and we don't want to take several hundred damage a hit.
We smack him for a bit.
His buddy shows up, they say the motto.
We blast them with raw fire magic.
And beat the crap out of them.
Xezat proves his intelligence by giving us a plan to work with.
The only flaw is that the Light Warriors are involved. But what can you do.
Meet Atomos. The most evil antennae ever created. It can summon meteors and suck you into a black hole. Its power is unmatched by mere mortals.
How do I deal with it?
I cast Sleep and then spam Bio.
It's amazing what a Level 2 Black Magic spell can do.
Of course Xezat knew his plan would end with his death. He's OK with that because he's hardcore. Galuf doesn't like that but Jimmy stops him from doing an obviously suicidal move.
So now Galuf's sitting at the spot he promised his old friend he'd wait for him. Honoring his memory by keeping the last promise he made to him while he was alive.
With this, they go off to find the sage who's somewhere underwater.
On the bright side, if he's anything like Jimmy, he can breathe underwater.
Update 24
This monster is called a Metamorph.
It only appears in Ghido's cave.
Normally, it transforms into other monsters the moment its turn comes up. (I've seen it change into Ifrit.)
But if you kill it before it changes, it has a chance of dropping a Staff of Light.
This is quite possibly the only source of Holy elemental damage I will ever be able to get.
We waited in a cave with some moogles, the fire died down. We entered the Guardian Tree...
And got attacked by evil crystals.
A bit tough, these ones. I got wiped out once by the Fire one's Firaga. The next time I took that one out first.
The rest was smooth sailing.
Great. Just great. Turns out we broke the seal on evil crystals. Why? Because it attacked us. Honestly, how dumb is that. Who made the seal like that? Attacking anyone who gets near automatically, thus forcing anyone who doesn't want to die to break it. Dumb dumb dumb.
Now Exdeath's going to kill us all.
Oh wait Krile showed up and promptly trashed Exdeath.
No wonder she rules the world.
Oh wait no. He's still alive.
Galuf's tired of this crap and decides to go out in a blaze of awesome.
Single handedly.
Beating the ever living crap out of Exdeath.
After performing such a feat of awesome, he passes the torch to Jimmy, and gets taken to Valhalla.
Krile got the evil beaten out of her. So she decided to join the Light Warriors to avenge her grandfather's death.
Update 27
Oh hey money! This is awesome man I'm gunna be so rich man this is cool look at all the money just laying-
WHAT IS THAT?
HOLY CRAP IT JUST RIPPED OUT MY SPINE.
OW OW OW THAT'S MY BLOOD!
Owwwww....
Update 28
I HAVE NEVER WISHED FOR A GEOMANCER MORE THEN I HAVE NOW.
Seriously.
What kind of maniac puts lava in their house? I mean really.
It's so painful and then I get back attacked by a team of Reflect Mages... on a magic based party.
Yes Gilgamesh. I got burned. By the freaking lava.
He starts the fight by inflicting Mini on Faris. This is a minor inconvenience at worst. It doesn't stop me from blasting him to pieces.
Yeeeeeeeaaahhhh...
He went to Valhalla.
Gilgamesh is sad to hear this.
"Now! Witness my True Form!"
His true form sucks.
And Exdeath doesn't seem to be happy about this.
So what does he do? He banishes him to the endless void between dimensions.
What a jerk.
On the bright side, we picked up his sword! The legendary Excalibur!
...the legendary Excalibur sucks.
Time to kick the crap out of Exdeath.
I lost a few times because I realized that by rushing him, I trigged his "Low HP: Commence RAPE MODE"
So I paced myself.
Krile is kinda ticked that he killed her grandpa. How ticked?
She chucked a freaking dragon at him.
Hah! Farming those Staff of Lights came in handy! He's weak to Holy, but normally you don't have any way to use Holy elemental attacks.
Take that Exdeath! You lose!
Oh great. Now all of this world's crystals have shattered. Grand.
....and hey! We somehow made it back to the world of our heroes! Hooray! They beat Exdeath, saved both worlds, and now they're back home. Everybody wins!
Once there, the Chancellor reveals something horrid.
Turns out Faris and Lenna are sisters.
That's right. Lenna's been dating her sister.
Horror abounds as the rest of the castle begins to celebrate the return of their princess while Lenna and Faris have a stroke.
They get Faris into a dress.
Jimmy has a heart attack.
Sadly, Krile points out that the world probably still needs help. And drags Jimmy out to go find and fix the crystals. Since, you know, otherwise the world will decay away.
And so they head off, ready to find a way to fix things.
"I don't remember the Kingdom of Tycoon being like this."
Jimmy finds Boco! Yay! With this, we have a Chocobo to work with. That's good.
Then an antlion tries to eat us but honestly they just beat an evil tree warlock.
Oh hey Faris is back! Running from the shame of screwing her sister she finds Jimmy and rejoins the party.
Hmm? It's the Sage? What's he doing here?
Wait the worlds have merged into one? That's crazy!
Well, that explains the shifting geography.
Oh and Exdeath, the fiend, turned himself into a... splinter.
Honestly what.
Then he sucks Castle Tycoon into the endless void.
Great.
We're screwed.
Wait, there is a way of fixing all this.
We must gather the TWELVE LEGENDARY WEAPONS.
With the TWELVE LEGENDARY WEAPONS. We'll be able to defeat Exdeath once and for all!
And so, they need to save the world again. Only this time with a world consuming Void threatening to eat them any minute. An insane warlock tree that wants to kill everything. Oh yeah even if they do win the world is still going to slowly entrophy away due to the crystals being shattered.
What does Jimmy do in such a difficult time?
He turned to Magic Water. His first, truest, and oldest friend.
Jimmy's life really sucks right now.
Update 29
These ancient guardians of the pyramid tried to stop me from entering.
I put them to sleep.
Man Sleep is a useful spell.
An undead Lamia dropped this.
Lucky me. Now I can Sword Dance more at the cost of a Ribbon.
The most common occurrence in this dungeon. Every. Single. Chest.
That's two very important equips in this one dungeon!
Then I got a Protect Ring. Didn't screen shot it. That's three!
Whoo! Tablet!
Great, another chunk of land sunk into the sea.
Wait no. It's actually an ancient Dragon God-King.
Oh hey Lenna's alive!
Well there goes the Library.
Here's a boss.
Now, the question is. Is there anything in a SquareEnix game that wears less then this?
The boss was so easy I beat it even without having healed up and restored MP.
A whole bunch of places get sucked into the Void. Including Jimmy's hometown!
At this rate Jimmy's sorrows will drain the world's Magic Water supply.
Once that's over with, I go get my set of the TWELVE LEGENDARY WEAPONS.
These are the three best for me, really. Since I can't equip most of the others.
Then I head to Morre to get the Chicken Knife. It's not fully powered, but it's still better then any knife I have so far other then the Assassin's Dagger.
Next episode, Jimmy goes to Phantom!
Update 30
The Phantom Village! Tremble in fear mortals!
Jimmy buys some forgotten forbidden magic. Good for him. Hmmm... still missing one Black Magic spell. WONDER WHERE IT COULD BE.
This.
This will come in handy. With this I can finally steal! And there's some good stuff to steal.
Oh yeah, I start picking up some Flame and Coral rings. This way I can handle elemental attacks. Plus, give some good healing ultimately.
Jimmy spends the next six hours chasing the Black Chocobo.
Then we head to Phoenix Tower!
Magic Pots! OH NO! RUN AWAY!
OK what am I doing here? Simple. I'm triggering a fight with a Magic Pot, and then running away. But taping down L&R and mashing A. I can get the Chicken Knife fully powered in just a few minutes
Hahahaha.. hahaha....
...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAHHHAAA!!!
Then I pick up four Reflect Rings because you just know those things will come in handy.
That boss was so annoying I forgot to take a screenshot of it.
Yeah.
Allright! The final Black Magic spell!
I can fix that!
Traveling up is a breeze.
For the magic guy I just spammed 'ga level spells while his magic reflected back at him.
For the physical guy I just spammed 9999 damage Sword Dance and Lenna used Hi-Potions until he died.
Not very hard at all.
Then I went back to Phoenix Tower and took advantage of the 500 ABP they give you while traveling up there.
Jimmy finally mastered Red Mage. And with it, became the first member of my party to have Doublecast!
I've just got to the second world and need to cross Big Bridge.
I didn't have any trouble on Archeoavis unlike some of you. I think my party just has everything covered. I proceeded to pound him in the first form with Shurikens and swords, and he only attacked me once. In the second form I just went all out on the attack and despite his best effort, he fell down before my mighty A mashing skills.
Getting a Samurai made the 3 meteorite bosses easy. I didn't have to silence the bombs -- hitting them all with Zeninage for 5000 made their Arise fail. Titan wasn't a problem, I was strong enough to survive Earth Shaker and he died to one Zeninage.
When I got to Big Bridge my Samurai hit level 2 and I realized that skill didn't do what I thought it did. I thought it used some special power of the katana I was wielding, but instead it was a renamed Gil Toss. I ended up dying to Gilgamesh on the bridge. Well, time to gain a couple levels and try again.
I made another update but I realized this page is probably going to start screaming in agony as the number of images skyrocket so I'm just going to link it unless someone complains.
Decided to enter The Void. I'm tired of grinding. All bosses have been pretty tame so far, Calofisteri got me on the first battle, since I had no previous knowledge she was immune to Zeninage. But not to regular/Focus physical attacks. Apanda, easy. Azulmagia, easy. Went against Catastrophe, died the first two times to two consecutive Earth Shaker leaving me with only my Samurai standing. Third times the charm, he only use Earth Shaker once the whole battle. Halicarnassus, Easy, but new information about the almighty Zeninage. It can be used at full power even if you're turned into a Frog. Nifty stuff. Twintania. Died the first time, put !Hide and a coral ring on my Samurai, and Solo Zen'd him. Samurai's are overpowered god damn. Saved up to this point and plan on going into The Void soon, though I'm contemplating whether or not I should get back outside to stock up, since I've only got 7 or 8 Pheonix Downs left (I only entered with 30, I didn't want to waste my Zeninage ammo).
Alright, managed to get Odin, Bahamut, Phenoix, and Leviathan (after a tad more trouble then the first three; had to go pick up two coral rings.) Bartz and Krile both have dual wield mastered now with Faris almost done mastering it. Lenna is my super dedicated summoner. About to make the trip in the the void next time I play. Woo woo.
I may just have to bite the bullet and head into the Void as I am. Grinding Chemist items doesn't sound too fun but that could just be because I haven't found the turtles yet.
Would it be possible to get a second selection of characters with the statute that none of them can be the same class as this run?
I'm here. I just started to play yesterday, and I'm at second Hiryu grass at the moment. So far everything has gone pretty well, although there has been some minor hick-ups on the path. I had most problem with Water and Earth crystal bosses, because my team has lackluster physical element.
Ouch, I'm stuck at NeoXDeth. One of his attacks deals more damage than anyone in my party has, so I guess I need to go back grinding before the battle. I dunno if I'm motivated enough to do that.

Hey, are you still accepting new players? I registered here just because this sounds like fun.
I wanted to join the thread on GAF, but I was unaware of their ridiculous approval method for new members. Anyway, I'm always looking for an excuse to replay FFV.

Don't see why not. He was still making packages as of a day or two ago. Hell I was one of the initial sign-ups and I'm only up to the second crystal. (Playing through the whole series this summer and am still on IV)
What the hell? I defeated Ramuh but he's not in my summon list. So I reloaded an old save and did it again, and he's still not there. This is the GBA version. Is this a bug? Has anyone else run into this?

You get a spell item that you need to use in order to learn.

Chemist of course is the savior of the team. Still need to find a place to farm Turtle Shells, Dragon Fangs and Dark Matter.
Ayliana Moonwhisper Ecksus Cerazal
Then I went against Omniscient. I hid out of battle to avoid his spells and dwindle down his 50000 MP total. Finished the fight about six hours later (I didn't sit there and watched him cast spells over and over. I just plugged my DS into the wall and left it alone). Came out of Hiding when he had no MP left and just pummeled the poor old coot into submission. Got the sub, went after the third tablet, I ran out of potions (99 Potions 99 Hi-Potions) on the way through the lava the first time to the Tablet, had to use a couple of elixirs to get back out. Killed the trio in a couple of seconds. Zeninage is quite overpowered. As long as the enemy isn't immune to physical damage.
And finally after the fourth tablet, got myself a pair of Kaiser Knuckles, which added quite the damage boost to my Monk's damage, a truly needed boost. Boost's kick too so that's nifty. Slayed Leviathan. Went through the phoenix tower, got to the top, went back down. Now deciding whether or not to go slay Bahamut for some experience. I'm only in my late thirties so I don't know if I'm ready to get through the Void.
NNID: Glenn565
Thanks for the help.
As far as this challenge is concerned, once you get your first class from the crystal, everyone in the party has to be that class. When you get the second crystal, you have to have at least one class from the first crystal and one class from the second crystal.
And so on.
Ayliana Moonwhisper Ecksus Cerazal
Since you'll only gain skills from a class you're leveling, you'll only be able to use the sub abilities from the classes you've got chosen.
Fully Powered Chicken Knife + Sword Dance = 9999
Doublecast Flare = around 7000
You should post some of the screens you did on GAF.
The Pipe Vault|Twitter|Steam|Backloggery|3DS:1332-7703-1083
127.
But thanks to the way damage calculations work Chicken Knife is the most powerful weapon in the game.
Knives take Strength + Agility to calculate their damage.
You asked for it.
Update 1
Bartz is dumb. Jimmy is a cooler name. He's Jimmy from now on.
The beginning of FFV is always a little tough. What with no skills at all to start with.
Luckily, they're generous with the "magic water."
MASH A! MASH A! MASH A FASTER!
All right! Victory! Now let's see what cool job I get for this challenge!
OK then. Black Mage it is. Could be worse (I didn't want to get White Mage).
And so, four wielders of the dark art of Black Magic go off to save the world!
Update 2
I start with buying the dark magicks I shall need.
Next, the only armor these guys can wear right now. Seriously.
Finally, some magic rods.
With everything geared up I spend every other cent I have on potions. I'll need a lot of them.
Meanwhile Jimmy angsts because his dad is gone or something but who cares?
I CAN SET THINGS ON FIRE NOW!
Meanwhile Lenna angsts over more crap.
But then we learn how to electrocute squid.
It should be noted that I've been oneshotting everything. If it dosn't die to fire it dies to thunder (and ice's time will come. It's time will come) After a bit of fun death bringing, I run into my first real boss!
HOLY CRAP ITS A GIANT CRAP SCORPION THING! WE'RE GUNNA DIE!
Oh wait right. I can electrocute it.
That was easy. I literally just cast a few Thunders and it was done.
Sadly I was so drunk on [strike]beer[/strike] [strike]magic water[/strike] power that I forgot to fill the boat with gas.
So we crashed.
TO BE CONTINUED.
Update 3
I learned that the place I crashed in is filled to the brim with zombies.
I also learned that the undead burn about as well, if not better, then the living.
I also learned that Jimmy can breathe underwater.
Unfortunately so can the zombies.
Luckily, it turns out that they burn just as well underwater as they do above water.
I learned that Faris is a girl.
This is a good thing for Jimmy. It means that his deep and hidden lust for her does not mean he's gay.
I learned that Jimmy is in fact Our Lord and Savior.
I learned that the game makers for some reason decided to tuck the world map away in a corner of this area which you can miss, thus losing the world map forever. Creating a bit of an invonvience.
I learned that opening a chest can cause a sunken ship to rise. (wat)
I learned that the loved ones of 3/4 of the cast are soul sucking monsters.
I learned that Galuf, on the other hand, loves nobody.
I learned that there's an evil zombie queen running this entire mess.
And finally, I learned that Galuf can hit people so hard they get their souls back.
When you start the battle with casting slow, well, I don't like you.
So, I began nuking away with all my elemental magic, trying to spot her weakness.
Completely immune to magic.
Crap.
Thankfully, after a few rounds she changed into an undead.
I am grateful for this.
From past experience, we know that undead burn. Really well.
It still wasn't easy because I was being hammered on every second, and then she cast Haste on herself.
Leena and Faris both had to be revived in the battle.
But in the end I won. With everyone alive too!
I've been doing pretty good so far, let's see if I can keep it up!
Well, going to bed now. Continue playing tomorrow.
Update 4
Hooray, a new town.
That means new stuff!
This troubled economy has driven the price of Phoenix Downs through the roof.
So that's what that thing was. Guess it's important.
Picking up Sleep. More magic is good.
Through short sighted use of technology, humanity is destroying its natural resources.
OK Square, we get it.
Hooray! Cotton Robes!
Sleep is useful for two reasons.
1) I have the defense of several paper towels. So stopping attacks is good.
2) Enemies wake up from sleep after being hit with a physical attack Magical attacks don't effect them at all. As such, I can put them to sleep and blast with impunity.
What are these? Are these cats with little fake bat wings? Seriously? What is up with these. They're dumb. Really dumb and weird.
Jimmy is tempted to smoke the reefer, but then he realizes he's a winner.
AND WINNERS DON'T USE DRUGS!
Instead he sleeps in a cave and has sex dreams about Faris. (Faris slept outside tonight... and probably considered staying far, far away from Jimmy)
After this we ran into this crazily dressed lady who wanted to give Lenna to her husband as a sex slave. (wat)
After blasting her for a bit she called her husband.
And I put him to sleep. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Note that I didn't take any damage from the point she called him. None.
We run into the rare wind dragon.
We can ride it the moment we get it "dragon grass"
Sadly Lenna got distracted by the reefer and spent the next six hours staring at her hands.
WE CAN FLY NOW! AWESOME! RAIN FIRE FROM THE HEAVENS!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Update 5
Once I gained the power of flight I went off to Lenna's house to rob it of everything valuable.
That night Lenna and Faris had a hidden midnight meeting! None must know of their forbidden love!
Ok, I want to know what ancient eldritch gods the architects of this castle worship.
Finally, I head back to the plot
OK little girl. I promise I won't tease it.
I discover this. I almost never mess with customization options so this is pretty amusing. :P
Remember Jimmy! Don't tease it!
I SAID NOT TO TEASE IT.
...yeah. I won. But just barely. It wiped out my entire party except for Jimmmy, and as he desperately cast Blizzard, he somehow managed to win.
And with that one of the four elemental cornerstones of the world shattered, surely this will lead to the complete destruction of our world.
Who cares though. New Job!
Red Mage is my second favorite Final Fantasy class. So I'm glad I got this. With RM I can actually cast some healing magic on myself. Plus, Doublecast Black Magic... eventually.
Yay. I get to hit people with swords again.
Update 6
Here you go Lenna, heal us good.
Plus, actual White Magic! Hooray! I can cast Cure now!
Inside that meteor Jimmy is attracted to the shiny vortex and jumps in.
Luckily, it just takes us to the other side of the world instead of Hell or something.
New continent means new monsters.
Which means more EXP and Gi-
OH COME ON WHAT IS WITH THIS.
This. This freaking monster. It's horrible. It takes forever to kill, and dosn't have any elemental weaknesses at all. Ugggg I hate it. Change of plans, back to the old continent.
Bigger swords is good. They kill faster.
Jimmy and Lenna are both geared up to actually hurt things without magic now.
TAKE THAT YOU DUMB SACK OF FEATHERS! HAHAHAHAHAH DIE! DIE! DIE!!!
...ahem.
Moving on.
I reach Karnak.
And get arrested on nothing but hearsey because this country is a dictatorship.
It sucks.
Luckily I get out rather quickly, and I'm told to go help save the Fire Crystal.
...maaaaybe later
New Magic Rods...
New magic spell....
An ice goddess...
BURN EVERYTHING
And a handful of wizards beat the crap out of an ancient goddess.
I rock.
Update 7
Oh excuse me I was just busy enslaving a god.
Oh sure complain blah blah blah I'm the Light Warriors! You owe us just for existing.
Moving through the ship was pretty simple.
It went like this.
Encounter Monsters > Cast Blizzara > Cast Thundra if Motor Traps drop in > Win.
I also found Thief Gloves. Which are useless for me.
The boss is a pure elemntal being of fire.
So I blast it with ice spells. Presumably the ice is melting on it and dousing out the flames.
Blizzara + Frost Rod = Lots of damage on this thing.
Whoo! I won!
What happened after that?
HOLYCRAPRUNRUNRUNWHYARETHECHESTBOOBYTRAPPEDOHCRAP Why must my greed be so punished!?
I was in such a hurry I forgot to screenshot the second boss!
Oh well!
I got a new job too.
Beastmaster! This should be interesting. I usually only use this class for Blue Magic.
Hmmm... think I'll switch Lenna back to Black Mage once I get Red3.
Update 8
How did I accomplish this feat?
Pure cowardice.
Update 9
A whole lot of people running around in a panic in this library.
Let's go kill everything living in it.
Jimmy feeds his [strike]alcohol[/strike] magic water addiction.
All the monsters in this library are possessed books.
I have Fira and Flame Rods to spare.
Guess what happens.
I meet Ifrit.
I also have Blizzara and Frost Rods to spare.
Man this is easy.
........
Picture around five Fira castings in between the previous two pictures.
I did all that for nothing?
Somehow I remember this part being harder...
Update 10
I got to see the awesome sight of a nerd beating up an old man!
After Cid got sense smacked into him, they went off to make me a ship.
While I was waiting, Galuf began to angst.
Seeing Cid smacked reminded him that he was once beaten up by a little girl. He suspects the shame over this is what gave him amnesia in the first place.
Jimmy got bored of the drama and went off to use their new ship!
And promptly ended up lost in the middle of nowhere in a dead end town.
I don't know what Jimmy was doing with that sheep, but it didn't like it.
They shortly afterwords ran into a weird old man in the woods.
What was he doing out there?
Who knows. Jimmy just beat the crap out of him and shoved him into a pokeball.
Man the Light Warriors are jerks.
Update 11
Ouch. These monsters are nasty. They can one hit KO Jimmy with their Fin attack.
Luckily, they're weak to thunder.
After many hours of convincing, the party manages to get Galuf to give up his arcane powers over the elements in exchange for the power to talk to animals.
Galuf thinks he got a raw deal.
Later, Faris decides that if they ever get a boat again. Jimmy is never allowed to steer it again.
Desperate, stranded, and hungry for KFC, Jimmy spends the next six hours chasing this chocobo.
Luckily, Lenna realized it was the endangered Black Chocobo. If Jimmy had killed it he would have faced.... heavy fines!!!!!!
In exchange for sparing it, the Chocobo agrees to take them off this island.
BLACK CHOCOBO LAUGHS AT HIYRU'S PUNY ATTEMPTS AT FLIGHT!
I wonder how much AP Jimmy will have before I decide to switch his jobs again.
Update 12
With the power to fly anywhere in the world, Jimmy decides to take everyone to his hometown.
It's a nice little town in the mountains.
Returning home reminds him of his childhood.
Like that one time he got stuck on the roof for fourteen hours!
Good times. Good times.
Talking to his neighbors, Jimmy remembered why he left.
This is seemingly the only place on the planet that sells ethers.
This is important because Jimmy needs daily his three shots of [strike]vodka[/strike] ethers to face the day.
Also because my party burns through MP like nothing else.
Jimmy did something for the innkeeper, cause he lets them stay at his place for free.
That night, Jimmy goes off alone. Oh I wonder what sort of stupid thing he's-
Oh.
He's visiting his parents grave.
Faris follows him and they both angst about lack of parents together.
Jimmy conforts Faris and then Faris rememebers what Jimmy says in his sleep about her so she backs away a bit.
Oh yeah Jimmy vists his old house.
And remembers the day his mom died.
Leaving town Jimmy becomes so depressed Faris takes over party leading duties.
Update 13
We start off this session with running into the super dangerous Chimera.
Why?
So Galuf can shove it into a bottle.
We then get to hear Cid and Mid's genius idea of using the corpse of a horrible monster to cross the desert.
Are we ready?
Are we ready?
This a group of a Princess, a wandering weirdo, a cross dressing female pirate, and an amnesiac old man. All are masters of arcane magic and can control the very beasts of nature.
Don't even ask that question!
Normally one would simply use a Blue Mage to blast this thing with water. Me lacking a Blue Mage I used the next best thing. I threw the thing that naturally uses the spell at it.
Worked out pretty well all things considering.
Exploring ancient ruins, we find King Tycoon!
Who promptly throws us down a pit.
With Galuf gone and Jimmy unconscious, Lenna and Faris have some "alone time."
Once they reunite, they discover a teleporter. An incredible piece of magitechnology that would revolutionize the world, provide amazing archeological discoveries, and bring a new era of instant travel.
They break it.
Man the Light Warriors are jerks.
They take a nap in millennium old beds! What fun!
Hmm? What's this?
Odd....
>:(
Lenna stops us from destroying everything in a rage. So hey, an actual clue.
Not pictured, the frog jumping out and knocking the book down. What.
...
For two shurikens I can't use and a spell I can.
Hooray. I think.
This civilization deserved to be wiped out.
The most eventful thing to happen in this filler boss was Galuf chucking a bear at it. That was funny.
But anyways!
WHOO! AIRSHIP! THE ONE THING BETTER THEN BLACK CHOCOBO!
FLY AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 SECONDS
Update 14
Jimmy realized at this point that perhaps announcing he was going to single handedly destroy the defenses was perhaps a bad idea.
So he caved in and asked for help.
Thankfully, the Ancients didn't seem to understand the concept of "electrical insulation" so a couple Thundras took out the turrets with little problem.
Except for those weird misses shaped like fists that knocked Jimmy and Galuf silly for a while, those cause some problems.
To this day Jimmy denys that anything he said to Faris is how he feels about her.
This one is a funny story.
Jimmy, in his Rocket Punch induced confusion, decided to impress Fairs by making his penis larger.
Unfortunately, the only size changing spell he knows is Mini.
Jimmy is grateful that there aren't any more turrets to fight at this point.
Just this BFG.
Desperate for victory, Faris began breaking Jimmy's rods. Breaking the rods caused them to explode all over the BFG, showering it with hot power before it could spray its white death all over them.
Once they reduce the BFG to a pile of scrap, they went inside the city.
...:( I never wish I had Blue Mages more then I do now.
This boss.
This boss.
Completely raped me. I wiped twice to it. Oh sure, at first it wasn't that hard. Changing weakness type enemy. Oh hah easy enough when I can hit with all three elements at once.
Then it came back tp life.
Blasting with a dozen powerful spells, and using "Tusk" to do lots of damage and confuse me... it was a massive pain.
I finally won by giving Faris the Healing Staff, having her spam Cura and Protect, and hitting any confused person with it.
After beating it, surprise surprise, King Tycoon turns out to be possessed by evil.
Luckily, the evil is blasted out of him by a little magic using girl. Who's Galuf's granddaughter. You know, the one who beats him up.
She came back for him.
He got his memory back after seeing her.
Lenna introduced Faris to her dad. She then began explaining to him about how sometimes girls like other girls.
Of course, while they're all chattering happily, the Earth Crystal, already under stress, shatters when they could have done something about it instead of just talking.
Man the Light Warriors are idiots.
Of course then Exdeath shows up, turns the crystal shard evil, and then goes off to kick puppies and eat kittens.
Because he's evil
King Tychoon, realizing that as the parent of a main character, he was doomed anyways, decided to sacrifice himself to turn the crystal pieces good again.
Which means that we get another Job!
I've never really used Dancer before. Well, first time for everything!
The ability to equip ribbons will come in handy, that's for sure.
Galuf, getting his memory back, realized he was traveling with a bunch of losers and ditched them and went back to his planet with Kirile.
...Jimmy was sad his drinking buddy was gone.
Jimmy then spent the next ten hours convincing Faris to switch to the Dancer job.
She agreed on the condition that she be made party leader again.
What have they been up to since then?
Faris went back to her pirates to do pirate things. You know, like find treasure buried under large X's.
Lenna went back to Tycoon and is enjoying all the perks of being a dictator in an absolute monarchy ruled by divine right.
Shown here with her Chancellor, discussing whether or not to raise income taxes from 95% to 99%. Hey, those statues of her and parties won't pay for themselves.
As for Jimmy? Well, he's always had wanderlust. As such, he went back to doing what he was doing before he became a Light Warrior.
Finding each tree in the world, and peeing on it.
Such a noble goal.
But!
All of them remember the times they spent together. The adventures they had. The battles they won. The fact that they killed more living things then McDonalds, KFC, and Burger King combined. Plus, Lenna wanted to see her girlfriend again.
So... after a while. At a chance meeting on Crescent Island.
They reunited. After a bit of discussion, they decided to go find a way to reach Galuf, it just wouldn't be the same without him. Plus, Lenna wanted to see if she could take over another planet and become the first Interplanetary Monarch.
Lenna found Cid and explained to him her plan to become God-Empress of all worlds. Since he's a senile old man he agreed to help. Traveling to each meteor, they gathered power from them to form a warp to Galuf's world.
They ran into a few problems.
Bombs with magic and the power to revive their allies.
Nothing magically sealing their spells couldn't solve.
A different colored Chimera.
Faris literally danced it to death.
Oh come on. Old man. It can't be that scary you wussy senile old-
HOLYCRAPHESHUGEEVERYSTEPHETAKESRENDSTHEVERYEARTH-
....yeeeeaahhhh. I won!
And we forced it into servitude!
And with that, they're off! Ready to head to a new world! Filled with mysteries and wonder!
They jump! Fall up into the sky! Off to another planet!
And they made it! They're in Galuf's world! I wonder where they are now...
...on an uninhabited island. Alone. With nobody around.
Man the Light Warriors are idiots.
Update 16
Day 1
OK.
We're stuck on a small island. Nothing to do. No boats seem to pass by us.
Basically we're stuck here for now.
But that's OK! I'm optimistic! We'll find a way to get off this place, or perhaps even get rescued!
Until then I might as well enjoy Faris's company.
Mmmmm... Faris. Why do you ignore me?
Day 3
The only form of animal life on this island are these hordes of ugly pig things.
They're easy to kill, but their meat tastes bad.
Oh well, it's better then nothing. It gives us food so we can survive.
Faris is attached to Lenna's hip. Again.
God, why do lesbians exist? To torment us men?
Oh well.
I'll get her someday!
Day 13
Marked every tree in the forest now.
Well, now what do I do?
I should probably kill more of those pig things. God knows there are only a million of them.
I'm just glad I got used to their screaming at night. What is up with that anyways?
Day 24
Faris and Lenna had a fight. Maybe they broke up!
In which case I can catch Faris on the rebound! Score!
Day 30
Tried to catch Faris on the Rebound.
Knocked me out with Thundra.
Just woke up.
Day 40
Lenna's gone crazy.
She's pearched herself on top of the island, declared herself queen, and is demanding we take care of her or we'll be executed.
Day 45
Lenna got the Thunder, Fire, and Frost Rods.
May God help us all.
Day 59
THE WICKED QUEEN WILL FALL!
SHE WILL FALL!
DIE DIE DIE!!!
I've gathered my rebellion of Faris, and Boco, who's rejoined us as an invisible chocobo.
We will defeat her!
Day 73
Ohgodogodogodogodogod
We beat the queen when this thing came and took her away. A horrible monster that defies disiption!
It took Lenna and Faris and ogod what have I been doing
OH GOD
Day 75
they wont get me they wont get me.
Day 80
they've come.
Update 17
Fortunately it turns out the Light Warriors weren't dragged into Hell.
No, they were just captured.
Exdeath took the time out of his busy scheduling of stealing candy from babies running Sony's PR division to capture them all.
Galuf and Kirile were about to go singlehandedly defeat Exdeath because the two of them are three times as able as the rest of the party combined.
Seriously. Kirile is scary.
But then Exdeath reveals that he has the others prisoner and that if Galuf dosn't surrender he'll force them to watch nothing but The Penguins of Madagascar until they kill themselves.
This being a fate too cruel for any living being, Galuf decides its time to go Solid Snake on Exdeath's behind.
Sneaking into the base easily, Galuf runs into Gilgamesh, Exdeath's right hand man and most feared general. A dangerous tactical genius who is a master of hand to hand combat as well, he is truly a man to be feared.
Galuf kicks his behind.
He then busts the rest of the Light Warriors out.
Jimmy tries his hand on the whole "sneaking mission" thing.
Once they escape and reach the bridge, Faris pauses for a moment to air guitar to the best Final Fantasy music ever.
Dozens of monsters stand in their way! All trying to gain favor with Exdeath by killing the Light Warriors.
Well, at least they try.
Oh hai Gilgamesh.
I smack him around a bit. Enjoying the battle music.
Then he gets a little more serious and starts jumping around like a maniac. Ouch.
Suddenly in the middle of the fight, for no reason, he says he forgot something and leaves.
Odd. Oh well.
Oh wait, then the barrier around Exdeath's castle activates and flings everyone to a godforsaken part of the planet.
I just hope Lenna doesn't go crazy again.
Thankfully, it seems they're not on an island this time.
With Galuf back some rearranging of the jobs came.
Jimmy got Beastmaster duty. Faris took the Red Mage job cause she wanted the hat.
And Galuf?
Galuf became...
The Lord of the Dance.
Update 18
Jimmy: Hey Faris! Now can you go on a date with me? You said you would!
Update 19
Jimmy got turned into a zombie.
Nobody knows how this happened.
Plus, they don't know how to fix it.
Lenna tried Raise, all that did was knock him out for a few hours.
Cura just made him try to bite Faris.
And Galuf, Lord of the Dance's dancing did not effect his zombie heart.
So they just sort of dragged him along for a while.
Finally they discovered a town that, hopefully, contained a cure for Jimmy's case of undeath. Or perhaps a way to put him down to his final rest.
Fortunately, the shops sold Holy Water that could cure zombies.
Of course, this brings up the question of why something as sacred as Holy Water is being sold in bottles for 150 gil.
They decided not to ponder this question.
They're just glad they can sleep without Jimmy trying to eat someone's brain.
They then went shopping because, dispite the fact that this was a puny town in the middle of nowhere, it had equipment far superior to what they had.
NEW SPELLS! WHOO!
With this, sadly, Red Mage begins to lose it's versatility. !Red can't cast any of these spells. Fortunately, it'll still be useful for many other reasons.
1) Cura is still healing.
2) It's the only Job I have that can equip any heavy armor or swords. So it pretty much needs to be in the front lines.
3) Healing Staff. If whacking with a sword isn't needed, I can quickly heal with this, Red Mage is also the only Job I have that can use this.
New whip for Jimmy.
Faris banishes Jimmy to the back row after getting this.
Galuf, Lord of the Dance, gets a new knife.
And Faris picks up a new sword. That puts things to sleep.
Somehow a sword, a weapon made to break bones, cut skin, and kill... can put things to sleep.
Off to the next place!
Update 20
Galuf uses the power of interpretive dance to convince monsters to kill themselves.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaahhhh
Update 21
Our heroes stumble upon a weird white thing doing unspeakable things to a tree.
Turns out its a Moogle, a race of superintellegent engineers.
Lenna decides to recruit them, to help in her world domination plot.
...this involves chasing after it after it falls down a hole.
Into an underground river filled with water monsters!
Which they promptly electrocute.
The current drags them along, and would have drowned lesser men!
And women.
Yeah.
Some undead creature wants to eat the Moggle!
Lenna can't allow that!
ITS A GIANT UNDEAD T-REX.
That's so awesome Jimmy tries to use a Phoenix Down to bring it back to life.
Sadly, it doesn't work that well.
After saving the Moogle Lenna asks if it could take them to their leader after saving its life. It agrees and takes them to Moogle village.
Along the way they run into some giant sand worm thing that wants to eat them.
Bio is Lenna's new favorite spell.
With the Moogles on her side, Lenna will be unstoppable!
The Moogle offer them gifts. Surely wondrous machines.
Oh? What's this?
Galuf, Lord of the Dance, returns!
And then... the Moogles call their leader.
OH SHI-
Krile is not happy that Lenna wanted to take over the world. She considered killing her, but since she's a Light Warrior she needs to be alive.
So she spares them, after all, it's just like what everyone in Bel Castle is (forced to) say...
They now await their punishment.
Update 22
Our heroes were forced to be retail monkeys. Truly the most horrible punishment imaginable.
Lenna was made to clean the moat.
Take note of the fact that most castle's use the moat as a makeshift sewer system.
Yeah.
Then, Krile decided she wanted some "Dragon Grass." Unfortunately, there wasn't any in the castle.
So she sent the Light Warriors off to get some. In Drakenvale. A horrible place where nobody has returned alive.
Also, the moment they were kicked out, Exdeath's monsters attacked.
Yeeeaaahhh
Along the way they run into a village of werewolves. And like everyone else, didn't like Jimmy and attacked him.
After Jimmy fought off the werewolf it turned out he was a friend of Galuf, Lord of the Dance's and now Jimmy's the jerk for defending himself.
Man what a jerk.
Oh yeah Jimmy's dad was a Dawn Warrior and way cooler then him.
The jerk.
Hmm... I dunno. Pot doesn't sound very useful.
But Galuf, Lord of the Dance is getting senile in his old age, so he agrees.
Oh hey this is good.
Now I won't have to carefully whittle away monsters HP to catch them!
It's a lot easier to get them down to 1/2 HP then 1/8th.
Drakenvale is filled with horrible monsters and zombie dragons that they use Raise to send to the afterlife.
Someone who's a big a loser as Jimmy!
So Jimmy helps him because he's a jerk.
I think.
Also we find a Hypno Crown. So Galuf, Lord of the Dance, can now control monsters easier.
Oh yeah turns out the "Dragon Grass" Is a horrible plant rape monster.
It literally did not attack at all.
I just had Jimmy and Faris cast group Bio every turn. This killed the little plants and it spent all its turns just resummoning them. Lenna and Galuf, Lord of the Dance then just danced it to death.
So yeah, another really easy boss.
Well we finally have the "Dragon Grass."
Lenna smokes some and spend the next six hours staring at her feet.
Geez, why is Red Mage so expensive to Master.
Update 23
I'm just that awesome.
[strike]Galuf. Lord of the Dance[/strike] Krile is truly the ruler of a nation of geniuses.
They're all so glad they cleaned the moat.
Once inside Lenna OD'd on Dragon Grass.
I think Jimmy and Faris are going to have to perform an intervention here.
Then Krile OD'd on Dragon Grass.
However Galuf, Lord of the Dance, knows better then to try and stop her. Otherwise she'll smash his testicles on a rock.
They decide to swipe her Wind Drake and ask the wise 700 year old sage on how to deal with all this crap.
Oh wait the island is sinking.
Darn it Exdeath go back to your Activision executive job! Stop doing this crap.
They figure they need to find an alternate path to deal with Exdeath now.
This is Xezat. One of the Dawn Warriors and is thus a cool guy like Galuf, Lord of the Dance.
He has a plan to destroy the tower so tells us to go nap.
Being a bunch of lazy people, the Light Warriors oblige.
Oh crap monsters.
What's worse is that Gilgamesh's theme is playing. So Jimmy knows that he's there.
Yup.
We start by casting Protect. He hits hard and we don't want to take several hundred damage a hit.
We smack him for a bit.
His buddy shows up, they say the motto.
We blast them with raw fire magic.
And beat the crap out of them.
Xezat proves his intelligence by giving us a plan to work with.
The only flaw is that the Light Warriors are involved. But what can you do.
Meet Atomos. The most evil antennae ever created. It can summon meteors and suck you into a black hole. Its power is unmatched by mere mortals.
How do I deal with it?
I cast Sleep and then spam Bio.
It's amazing what a Level 2 Black Magic spell can do.
Of course Xezat knew his plan would end with his death. He's OK with that because he's hardcore. Galuf doesn't like that but Jimmy stops him from doing an obviously suicidal move.
So now Galuf's sitting at the spot he promised his old friend he'd wait for him. Honoring his memory by keeping the last promise he made to him while he was alive.
With this, they go off to find the sage who's somewhere underwater.
On the bright side, if he's anything like Jimmy, he can breathe underwater.
Update 24
This monster is called a Metamorph.
It only appears in Ghido's cave.
Normally, it transforms into other monsters the moment its turn comes up. (I've seen it change into Ifrit.)
But if you kill it before it changes, it has a chance of dropping a Staff of Light.
This is quite possibly the only source of Holy elemental damage I will ever be able to get.
So I'm trying to get it.
Success!
Hahahahaha holy crap.
*resets*
I think I should get a few more of these.
Update 26
Jimmy decides to jump in a pond after a turtle. Because everyone loves turtles.
Heh. Turtle.
Oh wait. He's the Sage.
Opps.
Oh well.
He tells us that Exdeath was sealed blah blah blah.
Anyways the point is he told us where to go next!
And we got a magic stick.
Apparently you can't ride female chocobos.
Whoo! New town!
And with it...
THIRD LEVEL ELEMENTAL MAGIC
And a new knife.
Inside this forest is the most annoying possible group of enemies for a magic based party.
OSMOSE. OSMOSE. MUTE. BLIND.
Arrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgggg
Burn it down.
Oh wait that's Exdeath.
Him burning the forest is bad.
We waited in a cave with some moogles, the fire died down. We entered the Guardian Tree...
And got attacked by evil crystals.
A bit tough, these ones. I got wiped out once by the Fire one's Firaga. The next time I took that one out first.
The rest was smooth sailing.
Great. Just great. Turns out we broke the seal on evil crystals. Why? Because it attacked us. Honestly, how dumb is that. Who made the seal like that? Attacking anyone who gets near automatically, thus forcing anyone who doesn't want to die to break it. Dumb dumb dumb.
Now Exdeath's going to kill us all.
Oh wait Krile showed up and promptly trashed Exdeath.
No wonder she rules the world.
Oh wait no. He's still alive.
Galuf's tired of this crap and decides to go out in a blaze of awesome.
Single handedly.
Beating the ever living crap out of Exdeath.
After performing such a feat of awesome, he passes the torch to Jimmy, and gets taken to Valhalla.
Krile got the evil beaten out of her. So she decided to join the Light Warriors to avenge her grandfather's death.
Update 27
Oh hey money! This is awesome man I'm gunna be so rich man this is cool look at all the money just laying-
WHAT IS THAT?
HOLY CRAP IT JUST RIPPED OUT MY SPINE.
OW OW OW THAT'S MY BLOOD!
Owwwww....
Update 28
Seriously.
What kind of maniac puts lava in their house? I mean really.
It's so painful and then I get back attacked by a team of Reflect Mages... on a magic based party.
Yes Gilgamesh. I got burned. By the freaking lava.
He starts the fight by inflicting Mini on Faris. This is a minor inconvenience at worst. It doesn't stop me from blasting him to pieces.
Yeeeeeeeaaahhhh...
He went to Valhalla.
Gilgamesh is sad to hear this.
"Now! Witness my True Form!"
His true form sucks.
And Exdeath doesn't seem to be happy about this.
So what does he do? He banishes him to the endless void between dimensions.
What a jerk.
On the bright side, we picked up his sword! The legendary Excalibur!
...the legendary Excalibur sucks.
Time to kick the crap out of Exdeath.
I lost a few times because I realized that by rushing him, I trigged his "Low HP: Commence RAPE MODE"
So I paced myself.
Krile is kinda ticked that he killed her grandpa. How ticked?
She chucked a freaking dragon at him.
Hah! Farming those Staff of Lights came in handy! He's weak to Holy, but normally you don't have any way to use Holy elemental attacks.
Take that Exdeath! You lose!
Oh great. Now all of this world's crystals have shattered. Grand.
....and hey! We somehow made it back to the world of our heroes! Hooray! They beat Exdeath, saved both worlds, and now they're back home. Everybody wins!
Once there, the Chancellor reveals something horrid.
Turns out Faris and Lenna are sisters.
That's right. Lenna's been dating her sister.
Horror abounds as the rest of the castle begins to celebrate the return of their princess while Lenna and Faris have a stroke.
They get Faris into a dress.
Jimmy has a heart attack.
Sadly, Krile points out that the world probably still needs help. And drags Jimmy out to go find and fix the crystals. Since, you know, otherwise the world will decay away.
And so they head off, ready to find a way to fix things.
"I don't remember the Kingdom of Tycoon being like this."
Jimmy finds Boco! Yay! With this, we have a Chocobo to work with. That's good.
Then an antlion tries to eat us but honestly they just beat an evil tree warlock.
Oh hey Faris is back! Running from the shame of screwing her sister she finds Jimmy and rejoins the party.
Hmm? It's the Sage? What's he doing here?
Wait the worlds have merged into one? That's crazy!
Well, that explains the shifting geography.
Oh and Exdeath, the fiend, turned himself into a... splinter.
Honestly what.
Then he sucks Castle Tycoon into the endless void.
Great.
We're screwed.
Wait, there is a way of fixing all this.
We must gather the TWELVE LEGENDARY WEAPONS.
With the TWELVE LEGENDARY WEAPONS. We'll be able to defeat Exdeath once and for all!
And so, they need to save the world again. Only this time with a world consuming Void threatening to eat them any minute. An insane warlock tree that wants to kill everything. Oh yeah even if they do win the world is still going to slowly entrophy away due to the crystals being shattered.
What does Jimmy do in such a difficult time?
He turned to Magic Water. His first, truest, and oldest friend.
Jimmy's life really sucks right now.
Update 29
These ancient guardians of the pyramid tried to stop me from entering.
I put them to sleep.
Man Sleep is a useful spell.
An undead Lamia dropped this.
Lucky me. Now I can Sword Dance more at the cost of a Ribbon.
The most common occurrence in this dungeon. Every. Single. Chest.
That's two very important equips in this one dungeon!
Then I got a Protect Ring. Didn't screen shot it. That's three!
Whoo! Tablet!
Great, another chunk of land sunk into the sea.
Wait no. It's actually an ancient Dragon God-King.
Oh hey Lenna's alive!
Well there goes the Library.
Here's a boss.
Now, the question is. Is there anything in a SquareEnix game that wears less then this?
The boss was so easy I beat it even without having healed up and restored MP.
A whole bunch of places get sucked into the Void. Including Jimmy's hometown!
At this rate Jimmy's sorrows will drain the world's Magic Water supply.
Once that's over with, I go get my set of the TWELVE LEGENDARY WEAPONS.
These are the three best for me, really. Since I can't equip most of the others.
Then I head to Morre to get the Chicken Knife. It's not fully powered, but it's still better then any knife I have so far other then the Assassin's Dagger.
Next episode, Jimmy goes to Phantom!
Update 30
The Phantom Village! Tremble in fear mortals!
Jimmy buys some forgotten forbidden magic. Good for him. Hmmm... still missing one Black Magic spell. WONDER WHERE IT COULD BE.
This.
This will come in handy. With this I can finally steal! And there's some good stuff to steal.
Oh yeah, I start picking up some Flame and Coral rings. This way I can handle elemental attacks. Plus, give some good healing ultimately.
Jimmy spends the next six hours chasing the Black Chocobo.
Then we head to Phoenix Tower!
Magic Pots! OH NO! RUN AWAY!
OK what am I doing here? Simple. I'm triggering a fight with a Magic Pot, and then running away. But taping down L&R and mashing A. I can get the Chicken Knife fully powered in just a few minutes
Hahahaha.. hahaha....
...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAHHHAAA!!!
Then I pick up four Reflect Rings because you just know those things will come in handy.
That boss was so annoying I forgot to take a screenshot of it.
Yeah.
Allright! The final Black Magic spell!
I can fix that!
Traveling up is a breeze.
For the magic guy I just spammed 'ga level spells while his magic reflected back at him.
For the physical guy I just spammed 9999 damage Sword Dance and Lenna used Hi-Potions until he died.
Not very hard at all.
Then I went back to Phoenix Tower and took advantage of the 500 ABP they give you while traveling up there.
Jimmy finally mastered Red Mage. And with it, became the first member of my party to have Doublecast!
That's awesome.
Everything's going pretty well, I'd say.
I didn't have any trouble on Archeoavis unlike some of you. I think my party just has everything covered. I proceeded to pound him in the first form with Shurikens and swords, and he only attacked me once. In the second form I just went all out on the attack and despite his best effort, he fell down before my mighty A mashing skills.
Getting a Samurai made the 3 meteorite bosses easy. I didn't have to silence the bombs -- hitting them all with Zeninage for 5000 made their Arise fail. Titan wasn't a problem, I was strong enough to survive Earth Shaker and he died to one Zeninage.
When I got to Big Bridge my Samurai hit level 2 and I realized that skill didn't do what I thought it did. I thought it used some special power of the katana I was wielding, but instead it was a renamed Gil Toss.
Steam
Would it be possible to get a second selection of characters with the statute that none of them can be the same class as this run?
I'll need something to do after I beat this one.
Ayliana Moonwhisper Ecksus Cerazal
Also, the Void place is crazy easy so far. Although Twintania wiped me since I wasn't ready for Gigaflare.
Ayliana Moonwhisper Ecksus Cerazal
When he does that use the Magic Lamp to call Odin.
Ah, but I have a Summoner.
(But she was dead at the time)
Ayliana Moonwhisper Ecksus Cerazal
I'm here. I just started to play yesterday, and I'm at second Hiryu grass at the moment. So far everything has gone pretty well, although there has been some minor hick-ups on the path. I had most problem with Water and Earth crystal bosses, because my team has lackluster physical element.
I will do new package for you later today.
And neo-exdeath goes down. Time to grind up some and see if I can manage some of the super bosses
Steam
Added Yggi, created new package for JoeSlop.
My next set won't be nearly as easy.
Ayliana Moonwhisper Ecksus Cerazal
What level are you?
Ayliana Moonwhisper Ecksus Cerazal
35 or 36. On average, each member has 1400 hitpoints.
Ayliana Moonwhisper Ecksus Cerazal
No, shell is fourth level spell. Only thing I can do is armor, and that only does help against physical damage.
I wanted to join the thread on GAF, but I was unaware of their ridiculous approval method for new members. Anyway, I'm always looking for an excuse to replay FFV.
Don't see why not. He was still making packages as of a day or two ago. Hell I was one of the initial sign-ups and I'm only up to the second crystal. (Playing through the whole series this summer and am still on IV)
Welcome.
The Pipe Vault|Twitter|Steam|Backloggery|3DS:1332-7703-1083
Sure. Added your package to OP.
So boring.
Ayliana Moonwhisper Ecksus Cerazal
You get a spell item that you need to use in order to learn.
