do you intend to do the gba classes at all? Using one of the totally legal ways of playing it and getting jobs from the beginning of the game. Gladiator might be easy mode but also seeing oracle cannoneer and necromancer could be interesting with your knowledge of the game
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.
IIRC they patched it so it only hits a given target once, and only for the damage it would do if it was single-target. They also patched the infinite crackable rods bug that was introduced really early on in the PR's existence, which is a shame because getting two staves of light to cheese Exdeath with was very funny.
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!

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.
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.
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.
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 ;)
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?

I've been working on these videos for the past year lol. I have 6 more playthroughs banked. They're doing well so I'm prioritizing them. Probably helps its right before the Four Job Fiesta. I thought these we're going to totally bomb so I'm pleasantly surprised.

Your sbility to tell a story for what is essentially gonna be the same game, 22 times is impressive
And I'm here for it lol.

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

...The amount of status moves you can inflict on bosses as a Blue Mage...
Dude I love these. Thanks for making a new one

In my mind, its 2nd last. I'm gonna finish the series with Freelancer/Mime.

This guys understands!
Rapid firing these videos brother, great stuff man
I found this channel last sunday and i'm loving these challenge videos for FF5. I absolutely loved playing pixel remaster and so happy to see this
Pretty much the same here.
Loving these. Looking forward to seeing which job gets the bottom of the list by the end of the hole series.
Can't believe the lore is being acknowledged. May Jack The Rip continue to reign supreme
Im so glad i subbed, i didnt know you were chill like that🤙
Dragoon? More like, Dead Goon
I'm still early in my binge of this series, but I hope the "Lena loves animals" and submarine jokes never stop
Im looking forward to Summoner. Berserker will be funny
3:27 Forza's vulnerable to sleep, for future reference.
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.
I'm loving these videos
bro you are ripping through these and i am loving it
the references, memes, and inside jokes were just perfect
I can only operate in references.
You'd best be frozen
This series is excellent!
Fantastic video, hyped for red mage
I've watched all of these so far, and honestly, Exdeath at the end makes me feel like Sephiroth was a joke.
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 ;)
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 😊
I can't wait until Berserker
Great video!
"Hold onto the knife just in case I have to channel Jack the Rip."
I'm sorry, was that a Nuclear Comics Black Mage refrance?
Ooooh blue mage next! My favorite spell type! I don't know why I like it so much........no yeah I do, Quistis OP please be in every FF forever thanks!
Nice video man .❤❤.
I love this series and your commentary. I have been looking forward to when each new one comes out😊😁
Who else is binge watching these again now that the series is over??? Just me?

The pixel remaster made a lot of dumb changes. I wouldn't be surprised
BURNTOTHEGROUNDBURNTOTHEGROUNDBURNTOTHEGROUNDBURNTOTHEGROUND
I'll be looking forward to the blue mage because by far it's the most creative magic class and has the best drip
Goat narration
If you smash the rod you are holding do you still get the elemental boost?
Nice rod....
God damn, you're pumping these out super quickly and I'm so here for it.
As stated, he had already completed most of the challenge runs. He only needed to narrate and edit his runs.
It's still surprisingly consistent
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.
Burnination...coming to a thatched roof cottage near you
Burninating the peasants!
Do you plan on doing the gba exclusive classes too?
No, I'm playing the Pixel Remaster Only.
Commentus Maximus
Calling it now: He will use the word "patsy" in the Blue Mage video.
Jokes on you I haven't got that far in the script yet so I'll just use a synonym instead :^)

Hadouken!
4 Black Mages, now this is REAL Final Fantasy
Smashin' rods is just part of the job.
how do you have so much money for 4 rings this early in the game
I grinded its in the video
I forgot about the breaking rod spam in this game 😂😂😂
Good job!
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.
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?
Not going to cheat, I'm going to use Freelancer until I get it.
So many rods littered across three worlds. Why!?
Wait till Red Mage shows up lol.
Countrysides to burninate? Trogdor reference? 👀
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?
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
This is correct. I'm not interested in the GBA version at this time.
Quick reminder that if you target all team members that have reflect status with any spell it does more dmg
Another gem, with my fav job ❤
cant wait for RDM
Wait Gilgamesh? Oh you mean Greg
Could I recommend putting some music in thr background, it's a bit jarring to not have any. Otherwise the narration is great.
I usually use the in game audio. These first 3 were streamed so I couldn't. The next ones will have in game audio.
Please do a run with the Spanish Inquisit-er... *Red Mages*
Unga bunga 🙏🐝🐐

No.

You definitely gotta be pronouncing monk weirdly for engagement farming. It’s working I tell you. 😠

damm bro you ok ?
you been pushing out videos hard

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