Your sbility to tell a story for what is essentially gonna be the same game, 22 times is impressive

I am kind of excited for Berserker. That is going to be hilarious.

1:41 "One of the most powerful abilities: The Back Row" LOLOL

I knew Archaeoavis was going to be a brick wall for Black Mages, and the only one. I was _not_ expecting reflected Megaflares against TwinTania. Figured you'd just directly cast the death spell, but that was much flashier! Well okay, Almagest is kind of an HP-check for every team. I've seen someone !Release the eyeball jelly things (?) to Break the Almagest part, but Neo ExDeath's magic defense (and level) is bonkers high. For what I've heard is the easiest single-class challenge, that final victory was clutch. Well played!

"Avoid homemade submarines" earned my subscription.

I have made a big transition to watching challenge runs of some of my favourites - Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Chrono Cross and Trigger, Legend of Dragoon... and I REALLY enjoy how understatedly fucking funny you are, and no overproduced bullshit. I hope you keep building this, you're smashing it.

This guys understands!

When using reflect rings, you would do more damage if you multi targeting on your own party rather than single targeting. Multi targeting halves the damage, but then you do that 4 times. Double damage.

Im so glad i subbed, i didnt know you were chill like that🤙

Dude I love these. Thanks for making a new one

Dragoon? More like, Dead Goon

...The amount of status moves you can inflict on bosses as a Blue Mage...

I can't wait until Berserker

Im looking forward to Summoner. Berserker will be funny

Loving these. Looking forward to seeing which job gets the bottom of the list by the end of the hole series.

Those deep lore meme references are absolute gold. Somehow every run narration is more entertaining and hilarious than the last. But man, white magic is gonna be an adventure.

Nice rod....

Fantastic video, hyped for red mage

I'm so glad i found this channel.. ff5 is my favorite game and i watched the knight video and immediately subbed.. keep up the good work 😊

This series is excellent!

Great video!

Really looking forward to Blue Mage - I always felt it was a great class in FFV provided you knew where to find the spells - gonna be fun to see if you get the whole list.

Nice video man .❤❤.

I've watched all of these so far, and honestly, Exdeath at the end makes me feel like Sephiroth was a joke.

I'll be looking forward to the blue mage because by far it's the most creative magic class and has the best drip

In the last FFV speedrun from RPG Limit Break they showcased a pretty neat desert skip. So you can instantly and easy traverse the desert after the whack a mole fight. Maybe something that will keep your sanity for the next runs ;)

So many rods littered across three worlds. Why!?

I think flare would have outdamaged Fire3 against Exdeath at the end there. Well, until you added in broken rods into the equation since broken rods would have outdamaged flare anyway lmfao.

Do you plan on doing the gba exclusive classes too?

@BacklogBuster

Ай бұрын

No, I'm playing the Pixel Remaster Only.

I forgot about the breaking rod spam in this game 😂😂😂 Good job!

Other then the PHYSICAL side of the forking Tower by 4x FLAME RINGS In world 1 then have your 4 Black mages either hit themselves with Fire rods to restore HP or use Fira spells in World 1 Firaga in Worlds 2 and 3 to restore HP. Coral rings ONLY absorb TIDAL wave so theirs no way Black Mages can restore their own HP with those just NEVER fight Leviathan/Twin Tania BOTH in World 3 WITHOUT 4x Coral ring users.

Another gem, with my fav job ❤

Unga bunga 🙏🐝🐐

If you smash the rod you are holding do you still get the elemental boost?

@veghesther3204

Ай бұрын

About that the game won't allow it at least NOT in the pixel version in fact on the PIXEL remaster you break the rods that are NOT equipped in order to use them that way and no I tried to hit the 30,000 HP Stingrays WITH BROKEN Ice Rods with a Ice Rod equipped I had BOTH the Broken Ice rod and Blizzaga itself used normally only hit them for around 3000 damage each.

So far, it kinda feels like the only benefit to a balanced team is budget. Quad Knight and Black mage was a pretty smooth ride. Why even fuss with the other 20 jobs at this point anyways?

@BacklogBuster

Ай бұрын

You will have an incredibly smooth playthrough if you do some permutation of Knight Black Mage White Mage. Most of the other jobs are there for flavor, but there is indeed a lot of overlap. Theres still some cool and interesting things to see.

Expect more rod breaking for all other mage runs haha

That would be ridiculously depressing so I hope you're wrong. Just a pseudo black mage at that point.

how do you have so much money for 4 rings this early in the game

Have you considered using cheats or hacks to unlock classes early considering how late into the game some of the latter classes are unlocked otherwise?

@BacklogBuster

Ай бұрын

Not going to cheat, I'm going to use Freelancer until I get it.

Out of curiosity will you be doing runs for the 4 special jobs added in the GBA version or sticking entirely to the PR version?

@sertiana2512

Ай бұрын

I don't think so, because you gain those extra jobs very late in the game, negating the purpose or single job challenge in the first place

@BacklogBuster

Ай бұрын

This is correct. I'm not interested in the GBA version at this time.

Fun fact: Any job that can equip a Rod can trivialize Shinryu. Set the Wonder Wand so the next spell is Berserk, and then go in with 4 Hermes Sandals and a lot of Phoenix downs. Berserk him, revive whenever someone dies, and spell cast till he dies. Not sure if changed in PR though.

The pixel remaster made a lot of dumb changes. I wouldn't be surprised

cant wait for RDM

Smashin' rods is just part of the job.

Are you going to participate in the four job fiesta? Not necessarily for a video but just like, on your own time.

Could I recommend putting some music in thr background, it's a bit jarring to not have any. Otherwise the narration is great.
