What is the Final Fantasy 5 Four Job Fiesta 2013?
You play Final Fantasy Five, the best Final Fantasy game. The only difference is, you are allowed only four jobs, one from each crystal. And they are randomly assigned to you. When you beat Exdeath, your picture must show all four of those jobs being used to qualify you as a winner.
Could you give a detailed version of that?
As you play Final Fantasy Five, jobs are unlocked at certain parts of the game. The wind crystal, water crystal, fire crystal and earth crystal. When you unlock the wind, water, fire and earth crystal jobs, send a tweet to @FF5ForFutures with #wind, #water, #fire or #earth respectively. You will then be informed of your new job!
What versions of FF5 are acceptable?
Any. GBA or iOS are recommended. GBA for it being the best version, iOS because heck, screen capturing could not be easier. And it is cheap. Comparatively. Playing on the PS1 should be the new "Hard Mode". Maybe next year?
Can I use the extra jobs in FFVa?
Were they assigned to you?
What if I have never played FF5 before?
It is cool, you can still sign up.
This is not the recommend way to play the first time. But, no one is stopping you from trying.
I could just do this any time on my own! Why do I need you?
Correct! But you need me because I love you, and so does Gilgabot. And we raise money for charity. Child’s Play! We raised $3385 last year, which was pretty cool.
I hate Twitter! Let me do it some other way!
I am terribly sorry, but Twitter makes automating this much easier and open to a wide array of people. Twitter requires no personal information, you could easily make a junk account and use it entirely for the fiesta. If you delete your account or change your name, though, things will get funky and not work as nicely.
My twitter account is private!
Gilgabot will not be able to see your tweets until you follow him and he also follows you. So you will have to either notify me somehow or I will be checking for private accounts following Gilgabot as frequently as I can (maybe once a day). It would be easiest if you made another Fiesta-only account.
What if I do not get any tweets back?
Gilgabot works on a schedule and will respond to tweets when it is able. Should ten or fifteen minutes go by, do not resend the tweet, but let RevenantKioku know. He will look into it and if something is really gunked, manually set you up. It just may take a while if that is the case, but it should not be.
Gilgabot can get overloaded. This happened last year. Try to calm down and get your jobs when you are playing, not just because you can. Outside of the opening rush, however, things should be fine.
Are there any goals?
We would like to break the $3385 we raised last year.
And if more than $5000 is raised, RevenantKioku will drop everything else he is playing and livestream himself playing Final Fantasy 12. And he really, really hates that game.
Is RK doing a run this year?
Yup! And you can vote for his jobs right here! He will begin his broadcast early in the morning June 15 (Japan time) and will play until he beats it! Once he wins, the fiesta starts! (Or it starts June 17 0:00 EDT if he takes too long.) Last year he (I. Why am I talking in the third person?) played straight through for many hours and got a little goofy by the end. It should be fun!
Any new rules?
Yup! Be sure to read along. Hard mode became Random Run, there are Team 750 and Team No 750 runs (What? Read on!) and you can add Natural to any run as well. BERSERKER RISK is back too, and berserkier than ever.
Contest Rules
Runs
Normal Run (#reg)
Players will be assigned one class from each crystal. Until all four classes are unlocked, players are only permitted to use the classes they have currently unlocked. Bare/Suppin/Freelance can only be used until the Wind Crystal job is unlocked.
Random Run
Players will be assigned one class from any of the available jobs when new jobs are unlocked. As above, Bare/Suppin/Freelance can only be used until the Wind Jobs are obtained.
Team 750
Players will be be assigned jobs that can only break rods or jobs that are similar in play style and theme.
Team No 750
Players will only be assigned jobs that cannot break rods and follow within that play style and theme.
Natural
Natural can be added to any run. To do so either tweet #natural to Gilgabot after registering or include it in your registration tweet. What this means it that you intend on playing with these extra rules in mind.
1. Bartz must use the Wind crystal job exclusively. Lenna the Water, Faris the Fire and Galuf/Krile the Earth.
2. If you are playing a mode other than Normal you simply assign the job listed in that slot on the players page for your job.
3. Characters must remain Freelancer until their job is unlocked. Team No 750 players must not break rods.
4. Characters may not use skills from other jobs. This means no giving Black Magic to Bards and the like. Only skills learned naturally from the one assigned job may be used.
BERSERKER RISK
BERSERKER RISK can be added to any run to give the player a chance of getting the Berseker job assigned to their Water, Fire or Earth Crystal slots. The only difference is that a Normal run will have their Water Job set to Berserker instead of any other slot. To do so either tweet #BERSERKERRISK to Gilgabot after registering or include it in your registration tweet. When the fiesta starts, for every $10 of donations, one player with BERSERKER RISK will get another Berserker. If there are more Berserkers to hand out than players with BERSERKER RISK players will end up with multiple Berserkers. This is the only way in the Fiesta to end up with a duplicate job. Once the fiesta has started, BERSERKER RISK is no longer an option.
Both Natural and BERSERKER RISK may be added to a run.
Any questions? Leave them! I will try my best to answer them.
CLARIFICATIONS
Every $10 in donations before the Fiesta starts means one person with Berserker Risk gets an extra Berserker.
Normal Run players will get it as their Water Job.
Random or Team No 750 (Or Team 750, but that would be weird to register that way. You COULD. I am not stopping you. But.) they get their Berserker assigned to any non-Wind slot.
Natural works with any. You just apply the job assigned to that crystal slot to that character.
The list of all available commands responds to is available here.
