Author Topic: It's The Most Zerkerful Time Of The Year! Final Fantasy 5 Four Job Fiesta 2016! (Read 42411 times)

Last night it was pointed out that the total number of berserkers in the berserker tree was pretty much equal to the number of BERSERKER RISK participants, so I doubled up my original donation. This morning at work I also tried to use my company's matching gifts program, which would effectively quadruple my original donation, but I learned that companies can be particular about what money goes where and mine didn't let it go through as Child's Play did not meet the criteria for matching contributions due to the type of charity it was. I learned a lot about such programs and how some companies handle them and what EIN means and stuff but it still didn't happen. I dunno maybe somebody else's company would be willing and they could double their own contribution. Might be worth it to look it up if you can because I think other people elsewhere mentioned it working for them.

In short I love you puppers very dearly and tried to force feed you 'zerkers but my attempt only worked so well. Also look up your company's matching donations program.

ohoho anglesister also registered for a Chaos run~
Wonder which of us will have the more hilarious team. Too bad there's no way MJP will play a 90s JRPG so we can't be a full Fiesta household :ohdear:

Meanwhile I'm a bit perplexed with the start times. Assuming I am mathing right, THE RUN starts Saturday at 11am EST but the Fiesta "official" start time isn't for another 36 hours after that? I know they build in a little buffer time, and the kickoff is really whenever the streamers beat the game but I don't think it was that long last year.

I mean to be fair pretty sure RK needs to throw the mostly-metaphorical switch manually and he's in Japanland but that still shouldn't be 24+ hours of delay. :V

Signed up for a Chaos run. Might consider streaming but it'll be amateurish at best. :V

Yeah that was a bit painful to witness. Rip in pieces.

Anyone got more cashmoneys to throw at the donation box? We are still hanging around 1 berserker per riskee.

I already threw in two.

Though one dude in the SA thread+IRC channel has pledged to pay:

$500 if Dragondarch wins the race (lol ain't happening)
$100 if Dragondarch gets the final blow on NED with Goblin Punch
$750 if Dragondarch's run gets mercykilled
$250 if Dragondarch is still in the meatfort when someone finishes

Also 3 and 4 stack if he gets mercykilled in meatfort.

Not sure if it'll be in in time to seed the berserker trees if any of those do happen though. D:

Infopage on 2015's Fiesta!

Shoutouts to Axelryman who bodied the challenge so hard Gilgabot actually commended him by name.

Smashy · « **Reply #71 on:** June 11, 2016, 11:45:24 PM »

1050 Berserkers and Dragondarch still has to beat the final boss.

Seriously that jumped about 2k in a hurry.

So late....wait...they just recently put that up on the blog. I'm surprised on that one.

Can't wait for my painful run now.

Missed Teh Urn. Now I just wait for the Fiesta to start.

Someone pledged $500 for every player who beat Omega and Shinryu. They all did, so!

ALSO IT BEGINS, GO CHECK YOUR CLASS

I got Ninja, so IT'S FREELANCING TIME.

Axel Ryman · « **Reply #74 on:** June 12, 2016, 12:09:11 AM »

Ninja as well.

This is why I'm sorta wavering on whether or not I will be signing up for BERSERKER RISK. I already did this once with a berserker and all in all it was good but there's still a bunch of classes I haven't touched upon yet.

AND GUESS WHO GOT BERSERKER FOR THEIR FIRST CLASS?!

Edit: Oh dear this is yet another year without traditional healing this can only end poorly.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #76 on:** June 12, 2016, 12:13:49 AM »

Dragoon Unknown Unknown Unknown

That's on Chaos No 750 Risk

My team can only have Dragoon, Samurai, and Berserkers. Berserker will almost certainly be in the water slot and who knows where else? So I almost certainly get quadzerk Liquid Flame(I actually have done this before) and Sandworm (why?). I could still wuss and do Upgrade to avoid that, but then I could end up quadzerked endgame, so I'll :dealwithit:

Smashy · « **Reply #77 on:** June 12, 2016, 12:24:00 AM »

Black Mage Butz. Potential Gaia Hammer shenanigans since I took Risk but I also took Natural so nope to that :V

FinnKaenbyou · « **Reply #78 on:** June 12, 2016, 12:39:06 AM »

Chaos.

Chaos has changed.

(Jobs are no longer ordered based on crystals. Enjoy your extra freelancing while you can!)

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #79 on:** June 12, 2016, 01:17:53 AM »

So there may be some hope for my run yet then. Come on, I need a Ranger for Rapid Fire on Omega. At least I can still safely use a postwater crystal save when I start.

FinnKaenbyou · « **Reply #80 on:** June 12, 2016, 01:32:26 AM »

So Liquid Flame with 4 Knights is slightly horrifying. Let's hope that Gilgabot rewards my patience with-

...

EVERY FUCKING YEAR

EDIT: Avatar changed appropriately. It's 3am now. I'm going to sleep.

The Greatest Dog · « **Reply #81 on:** June 12, 2016, 02:20:33 AM »

My Chaos run gave me Time Mage, Dancer, Bard, and Samurai in that order.

First time for Dancer! But this is my third Samurai. :|

Ah, well. Whatever.

Validon98 · « **Reply #82 on:** June 12, 2016, 02:33:01 AM »

And so my Random BERSERKER RISK run begins. And I start with...

Hoooo damn I got Dragoon for Wind job. No job to use early hurts. And I can't immediately play now.

Sophilia · « **Reply #86 on:** June 12, 2016, 04:15:02 AM »

OK, that's game, now let's see how many Berserkers I get.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #87 on:** June 12, 2016, 05:56:10 AM »

Dragoon, Berserker, Berserker, Unknown

Managed to defeat Liquid Flame first attempt. Tip for anyone that has to do that fight with quadzerk is make sure you have some party members with HP that isn't divisible by 4 so you can potentially get another hit from Blaze before dying.

Going to have to get that Sandworm grind soon. And it's looking very unlikely that I will be killing Omega in this run.

Edit: First try on both library bosses as well. Currently level 22, but I'm sure I'll get a bit of levels while grinding Death Sickles and money.

Sophilia · « **Reply #88 on:** June 12, 2016, 06:34:08 AM »

OK, I didn't need to do this to Galura, but it just amuses me to think of Exdeath possessing a toad.

And my prize? Of course it's a Berserker.

WHMZakeri · « **Reply #89 on:** June 12, 2016, 07:04:53 AM »

Started with Knight, been a slow start because boy do I have too many video games to play since this week began.

Knights pretty fun. Yeah.

spent all my money on bronze. Yep.

on another note, I completely forgot about Chaos runs since they changed the rules to just be "You get jobs." Seriously that's all it says for the rule. I find it pretty hilarious.
