FourJobFiesta.com, Season Fourteen
Retro Achievements Four-Job Fiesta, Season Two
Venue: FourJobFiesta.com Discord’s Fiesta Account Support channel. Screenshots are in a later section.
clymax: Hey there. I preregistered for a run earlier to participate in the retro achievements event. I picked a Meteor run with default settings.
Later, the event organizer clarified that duplicates can’t be allowed.
i was wondering if you could change my settings or clear my run so i can reregister (whichever is easier). My username is the same as my Discord handle. Tysm
Revenant Kioku, Founder of Four-Job Fiesta: I do not give a fuck about Retro Achievements and will not do any extra work because of it.
Is that rude of me? Maybe I’m cranky.
[Moderator]: It’s not like you’re limited to one run per year
Revenant Kioku: SquareEnix knows about the Fiesta. My position has always been to play a legit version. If you have an issue with something I did on the Fiesta page, I will help you. If your legit version has a save issue, I will help you. Other than that, I am not your tech support. I do not ban anything, but it is all “at your own risk”. I do all this in my “free” time.
And since links to roms get fishy, etc. Those are banned. Emulators, I know are a different thing, but people can figure things out themselves or ask around. No need to discuss it here.
[Member]: if you get a duplicate, just Job Fair something else in place [decoded: donate money to the highly political “charitable organizations” that the Four-Job Fiesta organization uses to push its own political narrative], no more duplicate, problem solved, charity money earned, everyone wins

“I do not give a fuck about Retro Achievements and will not do any extra work because of it.” – Founder, FourJobFiesta.com
Screenshots of the conversation referenced above and involving founder Revenant Kioku.1
- Who wants you to know that his books are coming soon, by the way. So much so that he even renamed himself on his own server so none of the roughly 2,500 members could avoid seeing his book plugs everywhere. He later allegedly renamed himself to “Eric’s Book Is Out! BUY!”. Classy? ↩︎
The founder clarifies:
Elsewhere in the Discord, the founder has previously mentioned applying to job openings at Square Enix.
So, could it be that this aggressive stance against emulation is just a ploy to bolster chances of getting hired by Square Enix?
In any case, this crashout prompted the Retro Achievements event host to request event participants to seek technical support only from Retro Achievements and not from the FourJobFiesta.com organization.
The Retro Achievements event host also courteously reached out to me privately and offered technical support from the Retro Achievements side. Thank you, Sutarion.
[Future Post: clymax gets banned from FourJobFiesta.com Discord for running an alternative Four-Job Fiesta event.]
