    Bonus-Jobs Run by Supraprika

    Fans of FFV may know that the Advance version locks four new jobs behind the endgame.

    Three of the jobs require collecting the four tablets in the Merged World.

    The final job requires beating the final new superboss.

    But what is it like to do a full run using just the bonus jobs from start to finish?

    Yes, a challenge run in the style of the Four-Job Fiesta, modified to access the jobs from the start.

    Using a cheat code1 for this purpose as confirmed when asked by FFV Central, Supraprika answers that question in this video.

    What do you think? Should there be an achievement for completing this run? What’s your favorite bonus job?

    1. Our modding team after an independent investigation believes this can be done via RAM writing value 0x80070080 to memory address 0x200DF7C. Unlike other codes available on the web, this one is intended to unlock the bonus jobs without also unlocking the vanilla jobs. Reach out to us if you need troubleshooting assistance. ↩︎

    Robby’s Challenge Run on Hardest Difficulty

    Rob enjoys playing video games. Doing so allows him to show his love, experience, and individuality as a unique human being to express his love for those games. Rob’s video archive boasts an impressive selection of Let’s Plays of modded and unmodded games across multiple platforms. You can follow Rob’s work via his YouTube channel here.

    Writes Robby to the readers of FFV Central following his playthrough:

    [Because I ran into technical issues tracking down a copy of the mod, one of my viewers as a prank] sent me the highest difficulty mod version of Omega[, and I didn’t even know about this until later in my playthrough], and well, this is the punishment I was put through.

    The Omega mod is an alternate version of War of the Lions, rebalancing classes, skills, and items in the game.

    To his credit, Robby, who does not normally engage in challenge runs, managed to overcome the mod even on the highest difficulty, albeit not without trials and tribulations. (Who knew that that was even possible?) When asked about tips for fellow players, Robby had this to say:

    [Do] not underestimate the mod’s difficulty. Please make sure to take your time and not rush. Read and understand as much as you can about the abilities that are available to you after unlocking them. That’s what I should have done I gravely underestimated myself and my ability to fully utilize the abilities I have unlocked.

    Take your time in battles no matter how long it takes, ensuring your survival and keeping all your members alive is a must. My biggest problem is I didn’t use potions when I should have.

    When you’re able to get to Finnah River? There is a Mindflayer there. You can use him to lower your heroes levels and make sure to boost your speed as high as you can. Use Bards and Dancers having Mindflayers lower their level so you lose the least amount of stats.

    Use Ninjas for speed. Speed is your best friend! I cannot stress the speed stat enough. Speed is your best friend!

    You can find Robby’s inadvertent challenge run of the mod below. Players wanting to put their own tech-savviness to the test can get the mod here.
