Btw dancer gear doesn't change sword dance to 1/3. It changes it to 1/2. There are 4 options when dance is called for Sword dance Jitterbug duet Temptango Mystery waltz When dancer gear is applied it doesn't remove the temptango slot but rather overwrites it with another sword dance. (The more you know graphic)
I don't understand why they didn't make each dancer equipment cancel 1 of the dances for sword dance. There's 3 of them, lamia tiara, rainbow dress, red slippers. You could say each of them removed one of the other 3 dances, so equiping all 3 garantees sword dance. Sword dance isn't even that op. If you don't want other classes to abuse it with better weapons, just make dance like kick so no one can ever learn it outside of dancer. Then you could only use it with low attack daggers.
Out of an entire ballroom of dance puns "turning 360 degrees and moonwalking out" was the one that got me best :D In older versions of FFV the "sword dance up" gear makes Sword Dance replace Tempting Tango, resulting in a 2/4 chance rather than 1/3. As usual I can't speak for the PR's programming. Normally I never have more than one Dancer in the party. Seeing a full squad of Dancers get whiffed on by every status ailment really makes those ribbons stand out. Almost as if status resistances were a legitimate 4th defensive stat, like m.def and hp. _Almost._ I am almost as excited as you for some impotent White Hole spam! Dancers always have it rough against Almagest, but I'd be worried if a level 47+ character couldn't take it. The exp curve gets _so_ brutal in the 40s that mid 40s is what I'd call max level even in most challenge runs. ( But not Berserker DX ) Now you have me guessing which job peaks at Karnak. My first instinct is Red Mage, but I could see an argument for the Thief's fancy new spinny weapon + movement speed + back attack prevention all working together in the burning castle.
Surprised u don't go for the mirage vest. Just make a full circle on the land with the yellow chocobo. Gives one character 1 (2?) blink per battle. Basically one character gets a free attack block. But it's not for armor wearers. May wanna do this for thief or bard or something.
You can also learn some dances in towns with ... The dancers in every pub. Also for bards in any future challenges. You can learn songs with the piano plays challenge

This is making me curious about the GBA jobs like Cannoneer, Gladiator, Necromancer, and Oracle for this challenge. though, they are such late game jobs that, maybe it wouldn’t really matter unless they were modded to unlock earlier?
Minor nitpick: the red dress et al don't just remove Tempting Tango, they actually *replace* it with another Sword Dance, making the odds 1/2 rather than 1/3
Lamia's Tiara can be picked up in world 1 but it is harder to get imo than Gaia Hammer from Titan is. Granted a rare steal in world 1 when the foe has a common drop as well before you get reset magic is just hell no matter what. Wonder how much fun the thief is gonna be? All that cool gear you can steal but not use (besides twin lance at least)
It'd be nice if the Thief Knife was available earlier, but like most of the good stuff in FF5 its hard locked to the end game. If you could get some rare steals early it would adjust a lot of the runs.
I wonder if there's a randomizer tool or something for the remaster to change either the starting class or one of the wind crystal jobs, so you can start the challenge immediately. Though, equipment availability might be a problem for some classes.
"Maybe I could've danced Omniscient to death" Theoretically possible, but thank you for not actually doing it; we want you to actually upload once in a while :P
@@veghesther3204 Did not know that! I thought the absorption abilities would be classed as spells for the purpose of that battle. The more you know!
FFT will be on the menu at some point. I have Monk Only banked for once I'm done FF5. I don't really want to use mods so I'd have to do something else out since Ramza can't be a Dancer. 4x Dancer with Ramza Bard is usually the concession I've seen so I may try it. Who knows maybe I go back and figure out something from FFHacktics.
Honestly more surprised that you didnt start with freelancer only, pragmatically forking your save after every crystal and mime, than i am that you forked your save after the earth crystal. Though i suppose this way does offer the chance to have less repeated pre job challenge content, so hey.

@@BacklogBuster No big deal! It was just how it was presented that struck me as odd thats all. Thank you for the videos you make and the work that goes into them!
gonna be honest. if you cheat and get the job early in the start of the game i wont judge. its sad having to wait till the 3rd and 4th crystal to even start it
I know he keeps telling us to skip ahead for specific challenge beginning, but i keep watching the opener parts to see if he just recycles the old audio and video or if he goes through the process of rerecording the start over and over again
@@BacklogBuster you do a great job all around. i dont know why i cant put myself in the mindset of trying to do one of these challenges (in any older game really) because ill spend 10s of hours grinding to ridiculous levels so theres either no challenge left or i get burnt. but i really enjoy this series and your content and wish you nothing but the best
Btw dancer gear doesn't change sword dance to 1/3. It changes it to 1/2. There are 4 options when dance is called for
Sword dance

You can dance if you want to. You can leave your jobs behind

FINALLY, THE LAST DANCE 💃
This is quickly becoming one of my most anticipated series and it’s giving me ideas for how to improve my own playthroughs.
This series makes me very happy; I would so watch an ff3 version
Out of an entire ballroom of dance puns "turning 360 degrees and moonwalking out" was the one that got me best :D

40:21 And then he turned himself into a tree ; funniest shit i've ever seen.
"People die, and Yuna dances."
Eh, no need to be ashamed of grinding as a Dancer. It’s right there in the job description.
Backlog Buster doing a little Irish jig with this one
I was never more excited to see a upload. Lets go.
12:52 Electric Six reference, excellent. Time to start a fire in the disco...
As Lena say: "If you dance, I'll dance. And if you don't, I'll dance anyway"
Dancer isn't really good...but the sprites of the characters in their dancer outfits ?
slay 😍
Can't wait for chemist cheese
Im so excited to see the summoner run
Thanks man these videos are plenty amusing.
Dancers are my favorite Final Fantasy job! So glad you posted this, made my day! 🕺🏼💃😂
i was wondering why i heard the "Rotisserie Boys" joke again but then i finally understood what you meant about the saves in the intro 😂
The crew is going to tell us about a hot new club fire! This club has everything: candles, fireplaces, fire rods, MTV's dan Cortez.
I've not played this game, only learned about it via this series and beyond invested
20:47 Disco Inferno was right there man…
This’ll be an interesting watch.
I know having ONE dancer can be nice, let’s see if having four makes them step on each others toes.
Oh boy, I was really looking forward to seeing how these harder to use jobs fare.
Damn he really didn't lie when he said dancer was in exactly 5 episodes
Dancer, more like Gambler.
But still; when the dice/dance rolls are good, lady luck hits like a truck.
Excited to see thief only.
I always loved Dancer in FF5, so I've been looking forward to this one with all your dancing dagger complaints lmao
Keep it up man, this is an awesome series.
Babe, wake up. Backlog Buster posted!
Surprised u don't go for the mirage vest. Just make a full circle on the land with the yellow chocobo. Gives one character 1 (2?) blink per battle. Basically one character gets a free attack block. But it's not for armor wearers. May wanna do this for thief or bard or something.
Honestly this was brutal. But it was fun to watch and yes Dancer is hard to use
You can also learn some dances in towns with ... The dancers in every pub. Also for bards in any future challenges. You can learn songs with the piano plays challenge
Thats not how dancer works in FF5.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
I saw E6 in concert and shook hands with every member
Damn you got to touch Tait Nucleus? ?
First time watcher. Love the ESix references.
I'm just here for the Electric Six references.
Babe wake up! Backlog Buster did another FF5 challenge run!
You can.
Dance if you want to you could leave your friends behind
Saving the world with the power of dance. 😂😂😂
Red mage run hype
I heard that Electric Six reference there you sly dog. You must obey the dance commander.
*rubs magic lamp wishing for Berserker run*
This is making me curious about the GBA jobs like Cannoneer, Gladiator, Necromancer, and Oracle for this challenge. though, they are such late game jobs that, maybe it wouldn’t really matter unless they were modded to unlock earlier?
Big dance.
Cant wait for Berserker and White Mage!
You wont be waiting too long for berserker.
Tell us the story about the golf ball necklace
Great video
I'm just waiting on berzerker only.
Hope you don't mind if I waltz right in
Hey Macarena!...lol couldn't resist
I honestly can't wait for Freelancers only
You won't find Survivor Breaking out these moves LOL I had a fun time pumping up the Mog and Yeti Characters though! all they way
I bet you were happy once you got all four Ribbons.
Minor nitpick: the red dress et al don't just remove Tempting Tango, they actually *replace* it with another Sword Dance, making the odds 1/2 rather than 1/3
So you finally went there...
Wonder if you could get a mod that let's you use any job from the start? That could an alternative to reusing footage.
Berserker when
That is going to be rough.
Now do FFV with 4 bards
A God Emperor of Dune reference…kull wahad!
“I’m not his stud.
That’s just something he’ll have to understand…”

Should have just kept them all in the back row. Sword Dance does the same damage in the back.
I wonder if there's a randomizer tool or something for the remaster to change either the starting class or one of the wind crystal jobs, so you can start the challenge immediately. Though, equipment availability might be a problem for some classes.
12:46 I hope you figured out at some point that PR Dancers do full damage from the back row...
Heck yeah
"Maybe I could've danced Omniscient to death"
Theoretically possible, but thank you for not actually doing it; we want you to actually upload once in a while :P

@@veghesther3204 Well that doesn't seem entirely fair.
Callin' it now, this one's gonna be rough.
Also, re: Rule 3 - What if our favorite game is the same?
aww Shi*, i missed 2 episodes... i know what im doing today
U gonna do a Chemist only?
I take it that the next job is red mage
You probably should have kept the dancing dagger.
Those dancing animations are goofy as hell.
I should make an FFT dancer only. But I'm no youtuber...
FFT will be on the menu at some point. I have Monk Only banked for once I'm done FF5.

@@BacklogBusterOh, I forgot about Ramza. I guess you could call it a Dandelion run, if we're being polite here 😁
@@BacklogBuster or Zerrikan run maybe. Don't know if you're into Witcher and get the references 😄

Question on the magic part, can't you just be a dancer and use rods?
Couldn't you mana drain omniscients 30k mana with dances?
How did you endure all this torture with the job dancer?
No views gang who up
I just got out of the club. What'd I miss?
A luck based class eh? Must've needed a pot of gold or something to pull this one off I bet.
So, the worst class in the game (arguably) popped off really hard right at the end?
That's the most "old-school JRPG" thing I've ever seen.
Dancers not the worst class, I just hate the randomized dance effect, which is one of two things dancer has going for it.
Samurai, Dragoon or Dancer only? So either you aren't doing a Chemist run or your Chemist run up to getting the job is going to be very different somehow?
@@veghesther3204 That's fair I was just confused because Chemist was the only Earth Crystal job not mentioned.
I have the order pre-determined. Chemist is going to be one of the final jobs just because I don't want to be constantly referencing the mix list.
@@BacklogBuster No big deal! It was just how it was presented that struck me as odd thats all. Thank you for the videos you make and the work that goes into them!

Sadly flirt does not help you get a girlfriend... it gets you 3...
Add some bgm please!
what takes longer? playing the game or writing the scripts for these episodes? or is that all improv and irrelevant?
Scripting.
@@BacklogBuster you do a great job all around. i dont know why i cant put myself in the mindset of trying to do one of these challenges (in any older game really) because ill spend 10s of hours grinding to ridiculous levels so theres either no challenge left or i get burnt.
but i really enjoy this series and your content and wish you nothing but the best
Should had used to cheat to just give the job from the start. More accurate and fair assessment of the jobs that way.
No
Some of the jobs don't get anywepons until you unlock them so it's not fair anyway.
Suavemente.
