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. Additional runs can be played in other modes.
Due to the difficult nature of the challenge, players are required to have completed vanilla Dragon Quest VI (SFC or DS version).
A minimum of eight signups can be required for this league to be opened or, alternatively, for the league of a new mod to be added next season.
A minimum of eight signups can be required for the event awards to be awardable.
As for the new mod eligible to be added, see the event roadmap near the end of this post for more details.

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.

Ever think, “Hey, what if you could…?” for a game you’ve played before?
Are you a seasoned hacker interested in contributing to the growing and needed space of Final Fantasy V hacks?
Are you just someone new who’s looking to take a stab at game hacking?
Are you a fan of classic Final Fantasy?
We are holding our very first hack jam with a focus on Final Fantasy V for the SNES/Super Famicom, and we want you to join!
Whether you’re thinking of something grandiose in scale, such as significant story or mechanical tweaks…
Or you’re more interested in changing some graphics, maybe inserting a new sprite or customizing existing ones…
Or maybe you want to change some of the wording because you thought some translated thing was a bit strange?
Binary editor, assembly hacker, or totally new and just looking to try some tools that will do a lot of the heavy lifting for you, you are welcome!
No hack idea is too small. And the community will vote on the top hacks (or, if you want don’t want your hack voted on, that’s okay, too!).
If it turns out this is your thing, we have a forum channel where modders help each other. We even have a hacking academy for eligible members.
Our community of modders has released mods for numerous Final Fantasy titles (and others of various genres and across several platforms), and we’d be happy to provide feedback and assistance in the forum channel as you need it.
For any players or hackers interested, you can find more info in one of the related posts below. Cheers, and may we build something great together!
