This a randomizer for people who want to just play random challenge runs in Final Fantasy V:
without logging into Twitter (clip) or registering for a user account,
without waiting on a bot,
without trying to find some hidden, obscure link, and
without getting yelled at by some guy who’s more interested in whatever stupid book he’s trying to peddle because he definitely does not care about Final Fantasy V anymore and just coasts on being the “main man” for Four Job Fiesta.
Note that this web app may be a work in progress. Check back every now and then for potential new features.
In the recent Whirlwind Fiesta race against Fiesta Roles Leader NeoKakarot, live racer Madness somehow managed to inadvertently trigger the secret boss in Whirlwind.
What do you think happened next? Was Madness able to prevail? If not, was he able to deactivate this secret boss before his race was lost?
For those of you who missed the action, new highlight clips are available below courtesy of a collab with NeoKakarot’s channel.
This also marks the first time that the secret boss is featured on the FFV Central website.

Writes Neo shortly after his playthrough of Final Fantasy III on the Nintendo DS (playlist available here):
Today we are playing Final Fantasy III for the NES on this stream, but it’s not a normal version of the game.
For you see it has been modded by @cIymax and is called Final Fantasy III Crosswind!
And I will be “speed running” it if you catch my drift.
It should be a fun time!
So, mark your calendars for Wednesday at 8pm Eastern, boys!
