@embee187 the pixel remaster available now dont have the new jobs and dungeon/bosses. Only the gba (might be ds) version has them unfortunately. Necromancer was so much fun 😢
Mystic Knights are one of my favorite jobs, also the rune sword in Istory falls is pretty good, at first seems weak but it adds your magic to the attack formula just like the chicken knife adds speed to the formula, and also crits at the cost of 8 MP
Finished FFV yesterday for the first time and it's really nice to see you upload a challenge run, it brings me back to when I first started playing it ☕🐒
I asked for this a few vids ago and its exactly what I was hoping for and expecting. Making great use of Break Blade for bosses that can tend to wall other jobs, Silence Blade to clown on Omniscient. I didnt even consider flame rings with firaga blade for healing so I even learned something today.
Don't let my icon fool you; this is my favorite job in all of the FF games. I like me a class that mixes melee and spellcasting,;and I LOVE a class that does that, but literally so lol
It was definitly one of my favorite jobs in Bravley default espacilly since you can use Holy and Death whit sword magic in that game.Just a shame Phantom weapon costs 3 passive slot.
Looking forward to seeing the beastmaster run. They have at least a couple of useful command abilities, and there's several bossfights that are trivialized by releasing four monsters.
Btw i just wanted to say i loved your double digit carbon fiber/submarine jokes. That was classhole stuff right there and i salute it as a fellow classhole.
I would've thought this would have been a way easier cakewalk with how strong Mystic Knight can be in the right situation. I guess Break Blade can't be that useful, otherwise what's the challenge. At least with some grinding you can absolutely wipe out the final bosses. I forgot to sub last time on the hilarious Bard episode, let me fix that.
PR put the sol cannon launchers into the back row, and that can make the fight a lot harder for certain teams like this. You can also remove all the stat loss from Old status on PR though, so with a lot of resources used you can get through the fight on the back of good damage once it's just the cannon itself left. The fLAME ring strats and the excessive levels getting them gives hurt my soul, but hey, you do you. Odin and NED's Almagest part and a ton of random monsters also die to break spellblade, it's incredibly OP sometimes and would have allowed for a fairly low-level win like maybe around level 25. That was fun that you used it on the trench triplets, good variety kill. Old stat loss goes away when you die on PR, so they're young and good as new on revival, lol
I have been doing this series with you 😂 every time you release a video, i do the same run after to see how long it takes. So far i have hated the berserkers the most. It was just mind numbing. Great series!
Love the videos, FFV is one of my fave games and Mystic Knights are goated. One thing, I thought Garula was female? Iirc there’s a spot where you can talk to its handler or a kid who mentions “She” is normally gentle and friendly to the town children, or something like that. But that might be a relic of the PS1 translation?
Hey Wes. Big fan. Really appreciate all the dedication and sweat and especially those delicious tears! 😂 Keep up the great work, and here's hoping for more Shin Megami Tensei too! You rock!
Theres a mod that removes cutscenes for the pixel remaster if you're playing it on PC, a little weird to set up but very worth it for replaying this a bunch lol
I love your series and now I think I want to try my first challenge run and because of you I think I'll start with FF5. Which job do you recommend for someone's very first challenge run?
Its probably Mystic Knight, I only really struggled here because I didnt grind. Alternatives would be like, Black or Blue Mage since you get them right away. Then Summoner, since its absurdly strong. Chemist is insanely good as well. Both of them basically require an external guide. You need to know where all the summons are. Then for CHemist you need a mix list and the locations to grind materials. Samurai is a freebie since you can just gil toss your way to victory.
I feel like they also did this during their development, realized how absurdly strong the class would be and had to put in counters in several bosses to compensate
mystic knight is my fave job in the series (followed by redmage) something bout buffing your sword with magic to hit super hard always gets me. "hey final boss, lemme fuse FLARE to my sword! now explode fcker!" course my favourite ever "spell sword" is FF9 Steiner-Vivi combo, doomsday spell sword. sure Steiner, you're doing a lot of heavy lifting with your lil sword swing as Vivi calls down a world ending meteor right behind you..... wait this version doesnt hurt the party? well holy shit >.>
too lazy to go back and check but sort of wondering what your time and levels have been so far for every class. Along with stuff like did you use brave blade or chicken knife and other stuff? Still love challenges like this.
Lowest is 42, which was Blackmage and I think Blue Mage. Highest was Berserker by like, a massive margin, but non-Berserker was like 55ish. Most jobs are finishing in the 42-50 mark consistently. Jobs that take the Brave Blade is exactly knight, everything else is Chicken Knife.
Not sure if this comment is for him or us, but I can answer for myself. This is my favorite game in the series because it's the best implementation of the job system in the whole franchise, the characters are memorable (without it needing to be 17 characters like later and even earlier games in the series), and the emotional moments hit without being overblown cutscenes. And the meme answer: cuz the MC's canon name is Buttz
U missed a perfectly perfect opportunity to add space balls scene in ur video.....near the end......from the statue of Liberty vacuuming part. After the gate is opened....and they take the air......if ur a fan then u know.
"The power of spell-based blade-buffs." That's a tongue twister! It's surprising to see early Mystic Knight struggles. Not the fact that they're struggling, but seeing them. On some level I just _know_ that Mystic Knight is bad early-game job, excellent late-game ability. Oof, try to spare a phoenix down on the skeleton boss and end up spending it on your team instead! DX Wait, Sleep Spellblade doesn't work on Atomos? That sounds like a bug. What the hey hey Pixel Remaster? And it doesn't work on the Crystals, and it didn't work on the Dragon Grass. Pixel Remaster, what did you do? I wonder how the PR implements the Excalipoor behind the scenes. Damage formula? Special on-hit effect? Because Flare Spellblade increases attack power and various abilities prevent on-hit effects. They must have bugged it at least once during development! Wait you actually picked up the Ice Shield in ExDeath's castle, and the shields in the Pyramid? Who are you and what have you done with the real Backlog Buster? I remember NeoExdeath's Almagest part being 'vulnerable' to Break. Lamp Catoblepas can't be targeted, !Released Orukat/Mover still only gets one chance to work, and the Break spell will just fail due to insane magic evade. Break Spellblade _should_ be the best option, but not if they've borked it in the PR. :P Thank you for another one of these. Still worked in some great jokes after all these runs! :D
I mean, you almost certainly could have beaten him at level 41; Break Blade takes out the Almagest part instantly. Sure the physicals were bad, but without all the party-wide Almagest damage, him Vacuum Waving Bartz to death repeatedly turns from a legitimate threat to a minor if somewhat amusing annoyance
Honestly u probably would've won at 41 with a chicken knife, but I don't blame u after a very long Neo Ex-Death fight the first time. By for some chance did u considered fighting super boss Omega this run since Mystic Knight is the one job that can easily destroy him.
Dude. PLEASE. For the love of all that is in Heaven, could you at least try to nuke Magissa with the frostrod smash turn 1? If they didn't increase her HP by 250, then she should still have 650 health and can be rod smashed on the very first action. In the gba version it was Six hundred fifty HP, so a single rod smash ended the fight nomatter the magical damage roll. It really does break my heart 💔 that the pixel remaster changed so much for the technical bosses
I kinda wonder how you will be able to cope with reality after you've done this run and finished every single job challenge. Will you see yourself sitting at night, playing something else, just feeling like you should be playing FF5? Dreaming of FF5? God, I just gotta play some more FF5.... LOL
Mystic Knights are my favorite jobs conceptually, but their actual implementation left much to be desired. I wish all sharp weapons including daggers and spears could be enchanted, that the MP cost and magic damage would be high, that you could enchant the weapons of your other party members, and that the spell lasted only for 5 turns. It would have made the job more dynamic and interesting.
@@fireky3 thing is, freelancer really isn't that bad. They have access to every armor and every weapon to make up for having no special skills. I've beaten FFV before with only freelancers and hardly any rods, even the world 3 bosses aren't that bad. I only used rods for enemies that all had to be defeated at once.
I think we've all figured out you can beat FFV by now. Stuff like this should be spaced out between other content. The same video 20 times is cancerous for people with no interest in that specific game.
This series inspired me to get FFV and I’m at the sand worm and having such a blast ❤
It's a good game and the pixel remaster has some decent end game stuff from what I understand
That's awesome, enjoy one of the greats!
@embee187 the pixel remaster available now dont have the new jobs and dungeon/bosses. Only the gba (might be ds) version has them unfortunately. Necromancer was so much fun 😢
I'm playing it now since the pixel remaster FINALLY came to Xbox the other day.
Ba da bah bah bahhh. . .ur loving it
Dude is busting the SHIT outta this particular backlog.
Good to see someone being a man of their world, amirite?
Busted in a good way
I love this series because this is my favorite ff game, and i get to watch it 22 times 😂
Mystic Knights are one of my favorite jobs, also the rune sword in Istory falls is pretty good, at first seems weak but it adds your magic to the attack formula just like the chicken knife adds speed to the formula, and also crits at the cost of 8 MP
And all of their Stat blade attacks always land if the monster is not immune.
Finished FFV yesterday for the first time and it's really nice to see you upload a challenge run, it brings me back to when I first started playing it ☕🐒
I still cant wait to see Geomancer, thats gonna be an interesting one
OMG, a new, non member upload. Public Access FTW!
Yaaaaaaaas!!!! It’s been a whole month! Let the poisoning of Lenna begin
I think Time Mage is going to be easy because you can rod smash.
Lets go! Glad to see more FFV.
I asked for this a few vids ago and its exactly what I was hoping for and expecting. Making great use of Break Blade for bosses that can tend to wall other jobs, Silence Blade to clown on Omniscient. I didnt even consider flame rings with firaga blade for healing so I even learned something today.
Ive never been happier to see a video uploaded.
Find yourself someone that loves you like Wes loves the gauche.

@@246Rennie yeah; BD Spell Fencer was my favorite Job in BD.
Shame they never really brought it back for BS or BD2.
Glad to see you back!
I'm currently doing a Summoner only run! Halfway through world 2 at the moment! 😅
Summoner just cruuuuuuuuuuuushes it. Easily one of the easiest jobs.
@BacklogBuster Yep! I did Blue mage before and I crushed with that, too. Looking forward to your Time Mage and Beastmaster runs 😀
Looking forward to seeing the beastmaster run. They have at least a couple of useful command abilities, and there's several bossfights that are trivialized by releasing four monsters.
Sandworm does have an elemental weakness but it's water, which you don't have a regular spell for
You can't normally exploit "Water" weakness until you have Leviathan.
What about the Blue Spell: Aqua Rake?
@@ThePageofRage Aqua Breath is considered "non elemental", but it is given a property to deal 8x damage against desert enemies
@@sertiana2512 Ninja can throw scrolls that deal Water damage
Btw i just wanted to say i loved your double digit carbon fiber/submarine jokes. That was classhole stuff right there and i salute it as a fellow classhole.
Yessss, been waiting patiently for the next one in the series! Love these vids, keep up the great work!
You're approaching some deep waters with those submarine jokes.
We're back!
"Porking across Mysidia" is Gold, Jerry, Gold!
Odin is vulnerable to Break, so you could have used break blade.
Silence sword might be able to stop bridge Gilgamesh from buffing himself halfway throug
Break Sword should work on the almagest part of Neo-Exdeath
It should have worked on the flower and the 4 crystals. The pixel remaster sucks, man.
I would've thought this would have been a way easier cakewalk with how strong Mystic Knight can be in the right situation. I guess Break Blade can't be that useful, otherwise what's the challenge. At least with some grinding you can absolutely wipe out the final bosses. I forgot to sub last time on the hilarious Bard episode, let me fix that.
I was jumping for joy and handstand twerking when I saw mystic knight.
Finally, I’ve been waiting like forever for a new video lol.

Old stat loss goes away when you die on PR, so they're young and good as new on revival, lol
god you deserve more subs
THE RETURN OF THE KING
I backlog buster!
I love FFV, I remember playing a rom hack of it way back when, the FFV spoof, the story was written better then the main game lol
I have been doing this series with you 😂 every time you release a video, i do the same run after to see how long it takes. So far i have hated the berserkers the most. It was just mind numbing. Great series!
Woo-hoo I've been waiting for this job this whole series
Welcome back. I just started playing the game but I'm lost in the Fire-Powered Ship. That is one crazy maze.
Love the videos, FFV is one of my fave games and Mystic Knights are goated.
One thing, I thought Garula was female? Iirc there’s a spot where you can talk to its handler or a kid who mentions “She” is normally gentle and friendly to the town children, or something like that. But that might be a relic of the PS1 translation?
Mystic knight was always one of my favorite jobs
Drain sword is great. I used that one a lot.
Was wondering when the new video would come out !!!!❤❤❤
My favorite job!
Hey Wes. Big fan. Really appreciate all the dedication and sweat and especially those delicious tears! 😂 Keep up the great work, and here's hoping for more Shin Megami Tensei too! You rock!
Once I get this series done I'm gonna make vids on DDS. After that, who knows whats happening.
Happy this is back!
Awwww yeah~ now to see the power of the Spell Swords
I appreciate the Hitchcock reference.
That's my favorite job in ff5. Nice to finally see it in 1 class challenge 🤝
Love this serie!
I thought mystic knight would be easier
Been wondering where this was gonna be. Bro had us edging for a month.

Mystic Knight is basically a Grugfest but with a single turn of setup. Extremely strong, even in spite of not having access to Knightswords.
Love the Anakin reference
More to enjoy!
One month producing two (or more) videos of a water crystal job...
The road block must have been colossal.
3 premium vids and I played a *lot* of Final Fantasy 5. Like, 8 playthroughs of it.
I feel like they also did this during their development, realized how absurdly strong the class would be and had to put in counters in several bosses to compensate
Magic sword + dual wield and sleep sword and ancient sword is fun.
Backlog, PLEASE try X-zone/banish on Twintania, it'd be frickin hilarious! 😂
Still patiently waiting for summoner.
wake up honey, new Backlog Buster just dropped

Frog Sword is exclusive to the Nagnarok from FFT.
Some grinding is likely inevitable sounds like an album
I completely forgot this was a class you can use in the game. which is weird since i remembered geomancer and time mage

Replayability factor. This game is very open that allow you to create your own challenges and limitations.
About damn time! At this rate you'll never get through your backlog! 😅
U missed a perfectly perfect opportunity to add space balls scene in ur video.....near the end......from the statue of Liberty vacuuming part. After the gate is opened....and they take the air......if ur a fan then u know.
I think for mime. Each character should be allowed to get 1 level or so from each of their crystals jobs
Carbon fiber... too soon.
One day crystal jobs will end, and the time will come...
For Sealed Temple jobs only challenges
Lol, no. They're all post-4 tablets. The games entirely over at that point.
@BacklogBuster I mean, yes, but hell, why not? Every job had or will have its time to shine. Why not these for, just for funzies?
