  • Four-Job Fiesta Romhack – Player Review

    For Final Fantasy V (SFC)

    You can follow Ivor Biggun via YouTube.

    A week ago I completed my one of many Four Job Fiestas with the FFVCentral Four Job Fiesta romhack instead of going by traditional self-regulating playthroughs on vanilla Final Fantasy V. My way of playing and doing this challenge has been changed drastically, and I now see this hack to be the most superior way to participate in the challenge, especially for beginners who don’t want to work their way around the very vague and complicated rules that the main Four Job Fiesta website has.

    “What does this romhack offer that a competitor doesn’t?”

    A fantastic and very reasonable question that I can imagine many people would be asking when the standard Four Job Fiesta website seems perfect. This romhack offers you far more convenience with no strings attached. You roll your jobs on the website like you would on any other website but those jobs, including the type of run you’re doing, modifiers selected, and such is all applied for you when you load up your Rom onto the Web Emulator. All the rules are in place, requiring no further input from you as a player and makes getting into this challenge as a beginner much easier.

    Another bonus is that unlike FourJobFiesta.com that has annual events, our Four Job Fiesta event is year round meaning you have all the time in the world to participate.

    “But that sounds like something most people can do by themselves, why change from the status quo for this new way?”

    Another great question, this romhack unlike the other alternatives, makes a bigger impact on ensuring competition is fair. While other sites expect you to police your run by yourself which many bad actors won’t do, the romhack makes sure using jobs not selected for you is nigh impossible. You are restricted exclusively to the jobs rolled, no other jobs you unlock with every new crystal will appear in the Job list meaning you are stuck with the ones the site rolls for you. This helps alleviate a lot of the confusion that new players might have while keeping the annual event fun and fair for everybody.

    “I’m still not sold, I’d like to watch someone play through this hack before I do it myself.”

    I’ve recorded a complete playthrough of the hack from start to end under the ruleset I chose, this was all played on the Web Emulator provided right here at FFVCentral. Completing this hack awards you with a badge (mentioned earlier) both on the site and on our Official Discord (read the below section on “Tiered Badges” for more information), which you should absolutely join if you haven’t already!

    Backstory

    If you’d like more backstory on this romhack including the creator of it, Clymax, a compiled blog with video showcases can be found over here. If you’re also curious on the comparisons between our way of doing Four Job Fiestas versus the ways that other sites do it, a blog has also been made that you can read up here that goes into further detail and shows graph comparisons including what we offer, when our events run, and more.

    Automatic Leaderboards

    Another thing unique to our romhack and site is that Four Job Fiestas have an automatic leaderboard, beating the Four Job Fiesta via our Web Emulator tracks your time and automatically puts you on our leaderboard to compete your time with others and puts more emphasis on our desire for strong and healthy competition. It’s just another one of many things we offer that other sites simply don’t. It also helps us further keep the playing field fair, as tracking times helps us distinguish what is and isn’t possible and if cheats and external tools have been used to give someone an unfair advantage.

    Badges & Tiered Badges

    Your participation isn’t just left unrewarded, those who prove themselves to be the mightiest warriors of light are awarded a badge for their completion. You are also awarded a Tiered Badge in our Discord server which is based upon how many events you complete. Dedicated players have their dedication rewarded, and incentivises players to engage in the challenge, for charity and for fun!

    Closing Thoughts

    An actual alternative and competitor is far and few when it comes to doing Four Job Fiestas and that has been needing to change, we hope that more players, veterans and newcomers alike, will engage in and participate in Four Job Fiestas with us at FFVCentral and enjoy the romhack provided which aims to make doing this challenge accessible for everybody. We ensure honest competition as well as badge rewards for those who successfully complete the challenge amongst other things that other sites won’t provide for you. If you’d like more information, you can find the blog devoted to this romhack here or you’re free to ask any questions in the official FFVCentral Discord.

  • Simple Chemist Mix Guide

    For Final Fantasy V (SFC)

    You can follow Ivor Biggun via YouTube.

    The Chemist is one of the most powerful jobs in the entire game, having some knowledge of just a few of the many mixes will carry you a long way even with some of the worst job compositions. This short guide only intends to cover the most vital mixes, though I’ll attempt to cover as many as I can.

    Mix #1: Dragon Power

    Image Source: Final Fantasy Wiki

    Dragon Power is bar none the best mix in the game, the added bonus of it is that it’s stackable meaning it can be used more than once. The combination boosts the level of the selected party member by 20, which increases your damage output tenfold. 3-4 of these will easily have you breaking the damage cap, trivialising every boss fight you might have.

    This mix requires a Potion and a Dragon Fang, the former easily purchasable in about any shop through all three of the game’s worlds and the latter can be farmed from Mini Dragons (World 1), Drakenvale’s Zombie Dragons (World 2) and the Interdimensional Rift (World 3/Merged World). Zombie Dragons are the best way to grind for them, being undead allows you to easily make use of jobs like the Bard with the Requiem’s Song to make short work of them, or the Apollo’s Harp if you’re in World 3.

    The much more cheaper and available alternative is Samson’s Might, requiring only a Holy Water (Revivify in some translations) and an Antidote. It effectively functions the same as Dragon Power but only gives 10 levels instead of 20, though it still serves as a reliable and cheap alternative.

    Mix #2: Giant’s Drink (Goliath Tonic)

    Another mix that utilises Dragon Fangs is the Giant’s Drink, which is the combination of a Dragon Fang and Elixir. This combination doubles the HP of the selected party member, and serves as another very vital mix to keep in the back of your mind especially for parties with low health pools who are going against bosses that can wipe them out easily, such as Neo Exdeath’s Almagest. Elixirs can be farmed from Crystal Dragons in the very end of the Interdimensional Rift just before you face Exdeath, refer back to the previous entry for tips on grinding Dragon Fangs.

    Mix #3: Kiss of Blessing

    While best known as being a SFC/SNES exclusive bug allowing players to skip Exdeath’s second phase, it also boasts itself on being one of the best mixes for parties with a strong physical attacker. By combing a Maiden’s Kiss and a Holy Water, your selected party member will be berserked, given haste, AND given image. This easily makes your best fighters near unkillable, with only the setback of them being stuck in a berserker state. Though it seems situational, this mix should never be slept on when you want easy and fast damage during a tough boss encounter.

    Mix #4: Resurrection

    Here’s a mix that requires no grinding on specific enemies or anything of the sort, the Resurrection mix. By combining a Potion and a Phoenix Down, you can give your KO’d party member a complete restore at a cheap cost! No need to manually revive them with a regular Phoenix Down and then heal them, now you can do it in one fell swoop.

    Mix #5: Life Shield

    Image Source: Final Fantasy Wiki

    Have you ever been instantly killed and thought it was completely unfair? Well the chemist once again proves its effectiveness as it has a mix to deal with that as well! By mixing a Phoenix Down and a Holy Water, you’re now immune to any form of Instant Death attack, on the side you also gain an immunity to Gravity attacks!

    “But”, you may be asking, “how many more mixes are there really?” and to that I say far too many for me to cover in this short blogpost. However, if you’d like to know more with an added visual guide and commentary, the Final Fantasy V Youtuber Suprapika has an excellent video covering many of them, including all the best ways to farm the necessary ingredients. His video can be found below.
