    Ok, after a bout of insanity, I spent a long time in Galuf's castle. I'm heading out into the rest of the game as freelancers. I don't want to say how many jobs I've mastered. I'll just say it's a lot. A whole lot. My Freelancers are mini-gods right now.

    I finally managed to beat DQIV and I am super exited to play FFV!!

    I did a drawing for FJF and mine where

    Monk
    Dragoon
    Time Mage
    White Mage

    I'm not exactly sure I understood it though how the rules work. I'm not going to participate this year I think since the timing is odd woth the playalong, but I might want to work with this party.

    I'm so exited!!

    This one is perfect for mixing up combos and switching jobs a lot
    I change my party a good bit to level up for certain abilities and you can have a summoner that has white magic ability etc so cool the way that works out and keeps things going for me
    I'm working on leveling up my time mage right now
    Along with a few others
    I need to chill with grinding and move on haha
    I'm 16 hours 49 mins in and level 29 on all but galuf

    Lol you always grind a lot ^^ I think I will try fiesta rules. Chaos. I think I have understood it now :)

    I can see so clearly why this is a favorite for nany with Fiesta. There's endless opportunities to get a different experience each time!

    Nice! :-D I'm all monks so far. Decided to do a normal run instead of a chaos one. Next job is Dragoon. I'm two hours in now. Finished shipwreck. I love this game! I played pretty far into it once and I also played the first part many times. I have no trouble seeing how it can be fun to go through once a year! I also love this port actually. It flows smoothly and the controls are exellent which isn't the case in FFVI port. Also the graphics and sprites are a lot more cconsistent in this one.

    I'm so so happy you chose this one Shaun!! It's so much fun to be back ^^ also the story is pretty funny and the sprites do hilarious expessions:-D

    Agreed on VI I wish it was as smooth as this one! VI is very good as well and I need to play further into it so I may go for that one after I finish this one off

    Ooo that's interesting! That means no stress then and nore time to enjoy everything! I'm sort of like : I should do FJF cause it appeals to me so much. But it would be hard to quit too now for then starting a new. It's ten more days or something and I'm enjoying it a lot. Hmmm.. I might just enjoy my now normal fjf unofficial play through and see how long it takes and either join in next year or do another if I'm very frisky. But considering my usual game times I guess it's not likely:p I am happy we get to play it while everyone on twitter and like is playing it though. And I am also closing in Chrono Trigger too.

    It's so fun!! I think the job system makes it easy to just get completely lost in it for a very long time.

    I look at Fiesta site and it runs to August 31st. I'm so torn. I so want to participate, but realisticly I should then wait and do it then because I don't think I will beat this before it starts. I could easily spend the days now closing in Chrono Trigger finally and I'm only three hours in, it wouldn't hurt me to begin a new too much. Hm the more I think it the more I want to do the fiesta :p with the extention into July it's so possible suddenly too. Oh my :p

    I did it. With the extention there was no way I could resist it. It's a whole year to wait for the next one, I don't want to wait that long. So I registered a normal run ^^ gives me time to wrap up Chrono Trigger and maybe play something shorter. I'm somehow 32 hours into Chrono Trigger. How long is that game really? I thought it was quite short, I think I have wandered a lot lol.

    I'm crazy exited now that I have decided. Thanks a lot for extending Shaun!

    Totally my curiosity, but what part would you like to see updated? For me, I wish there was a save anywhere/anytime (outside of battles) option. I think I'm 35-40 hours into it, but have been stealing rainbow helms for more money than I'll probably ever spend!

    It's a little bit of sloppy port. While some of the other ones are so crisp this one is a bit blurry. A quicksave would be nice too. Cloud save.

    Got to the top of the tower went to the door on the right saw a chest opened it and it was a red dragon and I met my demise :( now back to the 2nd floor sheesh won't open that one again
    And now died again that's okay this time I'm bringing the time mage to cast return if things start looking bleak :)
    I would avoid it but winning this fight gives you the hair ornament and that would be great for my dancer who I have leveled up well and got some good equipment for
    Ninja water scrolls for red dragon that solves that and the ribbon is better choice for my dancer oh well
    23 hours 10 mins about to enter Moore Village
