    Final Fantasy League

    The Whirlwind Four-Job Fiesta (FJF) event has been renewed for a second season, running from June 1 to August 31.

    This was first announced here on Romhack Plaza, affiliate of FFV Central.

    Announcements were later made on Speedrun.com here and on RHDN here.

    The event is based on the FFV: Whirlwind respinner.

    The event remains largely the same as last year’s.

    For more info on the event, see last year’s post below.

    Starting this year, playing in Fiesta mode is required for the event. This means Division III is not available this season except for players who wish to do more than a first run.

    This year, invited communities get three prequalification slots each. Two mystery guests have been invited. In addition, there are two slots for “last-chance qualified” communities to appear as mystery guests. The mystery guests also get three prequalification slots each.

    As with last year, a minimum of eight signups can be required for the event awards to be awardable.

    Starting this year, of the bonus divisions, only Division IV-A is available, and only to members with the Crystal Warrior role.

    Dragon Quest League

    This season, a new league based on the Dragon Quest VI: Aflame respinner is eligible to be opened based on player interest.

    Currently, eligible players can redeem just one mod per season, so choose between Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.

    Playing in Fiesta mode is required for the event.

    A minimum of eight signups can be required for this league to be opened.

    Opening the league allows a new mod to be added next season. See the event roadmap near the end of this post for more details.

    For more on the Aflame mod, see the related post below.

    Event Seed

    The event seed will be named after Fire Storm from FF6 Hacking to honor his memory.

    Grand Prize

    Aside from the badge/role awards, the Fiesta Champion of each season will be able to redeem the dev build of any mod from the Game Jolt collection, including all future updates. For more on the mods, click here.

    Or, a three-time champion can redeem a commissioned respinner of a game of the champion’s choosing, where the game is of a supported system (NES, SNES, PCE, GB, GBC).

    So, what are you waiting for? Come by our Discord, and we hope to see you in the game!

    The finale of the stream will be a giveaway of ‪@cIymax‬​’s version of this hack for the NES version of Dragon Quest I, the amount of copies given will be determined by how many likes this stream gets!
