    Run Type

    These are explanations for how the runs are determined and is required for all attempts.

    • Regular: Job 1 comes from Wind, Job 2 comes from Water, Job 3 comes from Fire, Job 4 comes from Earth
    • Typhoon: Job 1 comes from Wind, Job 2 comes from Wind/Water, Job 3 comes from Wind/Water/Fire, Job 4 comes from any
    • Geyser: Job 1 comes from Wind/Water, Job 2 comes from Wind/Water/Earth, Job 3 comes from Water/Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Water/Earth
    • Sirocco: Job 1 comes from Wind/Fire, Job 2 comes from Wind/Water/Fire, Job 3 comes from Wind/Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Fire/Earth
    • Onsen: Job 1 comes from Wind/Water, Job 2 comes from Water/Fire, Job 3 comes from Water/Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Water/Fire/Earth
    • Haboob: Job 1 comes from Wind/Earth, Job 2 comes from Wind/Water/Earth, Job 3 comes from Wind/Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Fire/Earth
    • Volcano: Job 1 comes from any, Job 2 comes from Water/Fire/Earth, Job 3 comes from Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Earth
    • Meteor: All Jobs come from any Crystal
      Classic: Only Jobs include Knight, Thief, Monk, Red Mage, White Mage, or Black Mage
    • Onion: Job 1 is Black Mage, Knight, or Thief; Job 2 is Monk, Red Mage, or White Mage; Job 3 is Bard, Geomancer, or Summoner; Job 4 is Dragoon, Ninja, or Ranger
    • Crystal: Jobs are relevant to the Crystal they are attached to, either by stat or some interpretation of the Job. Job 1 (Wind/Strength) is Knight, Beastmaster, Ranger, Bard, or Dragoon; Job 2 (Water/Magic) is Black Mage, White Mage, Blue Mage, Red Mage, or Summoner; Job 3 (Fire/Speed) is Thief, Time Mage, Mime, Ninja, Dancer, or Samurai; Job 4 (Earth/Stamina) is Monk, Berserker, Mystic Knight, Geomancer, or Chemist

    Rod Breaking

    These determine whether or not Jobs are limited based on their ability to break rods.

    • Team 750: Can break rods (White Mage, Black Mage, BLue Mage, Time Mage, Summoner, Red Mage, Geomancer, Bard, Chemist, Dancer
    • Team No 750: Cannot break rods (Thief, Monk, Knight, Mystic Knight, Berserker, Ninja, Beastmaster, Ranger, Samurai, Dragoon)
    • Team 375: Will have 2 Jobs from Team 750 and 2 Jobs from Team No 750

    Options

    These are explanations for the different modifiers.

    • Exclude Berserker: Berserker is included by default with the Water Crystal, and this option will remove it (incompatible with the Berserker Risk slider)
    • Allow Freelancer: Freelancer is excluded by default, and this option will allow its inclusion with any Crystal
    • Exclude Mime: Mime is included by default, and this option will exclude it from the Water Crystal
    • Include Advance Jobs: For the Game Boy Advance version, these Jobs (Gladiator, Cannoneer, Oracle, and Necromancer) are excluded by default, and this option will include them with any Crystal. Be careful of Necromancer’s end-game status. May cause issues with Upgrade Jobs Option
    • Fifth Job: When Krile replaces Galuf, will provide her or the party (depending on other Options) with an additional Job(s)
      Natural Jobs Only: This will modify the output such that instead of Wind Crystal Job, it will display Bartz’s Job, and so on for the other characters, and these Jobs should be used exclusively by those characters
    • Allow Duplicates: This randomizer forces the initial results to have exclusive Jobs, but this will allow for any same Job to be repeated
    • Upgrade Jobs: Provides 3 (or 4, if Fifth Job is selected) points in the game where the player must move from Job 1 to Job 2, then to Job 3, and so on
    • Forbidden Job: Provides either 1 Job or 4 Jobs (if Unique Rolls Per Character is selected) that must be removed upon entering the Void. If Natural Jobs Only is chosen, will instead provide a character that must become Freelancer upon entering the Void
    • Allow Neo-Exdeath Rules: Requires that the final battle must be done with all characters entering as the first Job and containing any ability from the second Job listed, per character
    • Auto-Assign All Jobs: incompatible with Allow Neo-Exdeath Restrictions and Unique Rolls Per Character and Natural Jobs Only as these are redundant. This option demands that the player must be only the Jobs provided and follows the same output as Natural Jobs Only’s output
    • Unique Rolls Per Character: Instead of 4 Jobs total, this option assigns 4 Jobs per character, and the output is modified accordingly, showing which character receives which Jobs
    • Berserker Risk: influences the multiplier of Berserker being added to the randomization, from 0x (default) to 12x (maximum) in integer increments. Incompatible with Exclude Berserker

  • Event Roadmap

    Whirlwind Four-Job Fiesta (FJF)

    For clymax’s projects, click here. You can also follow him on YouTube or Twitter.

    Each new league is slated to be added in the season following that of the preceding league, but only if the preceding league met the minimum player threshold to be held.

    For example, Whirlwind’s minimum of eight players was met in 2025, so the Aflame league was opened in 2026.

    Had the minimum not been met until 2027, the Aflame league would open in 2028, for instance.

    League redemptions may be limited to a specific number of leagues per player per season.

    Not all previously added leagues may necessarily be available in a given season. The FFV league should remain available each season.

    So, the following details are tentative and hence subject to change.

    Season 1: 2025: JRPG

    League A added: Final Fantasy V: Whirlwind (SFC)

    Event announcement here.

    Season 2: 2026: JRPG

    League B can be added: Dragon Quest VI: Aflame (SFC)

    Event announcement here.

    Season 3: 2027: ARPG

    League C can be added: Ys III: Wanderlust (SNES)

    Season 4: 2028: ADV

    League D can be added: Super Metroid: Liberation (SNES)

    Season 5: 2029: ACT

    League E can be added: Mega Man X3: Vaporized (SNES)

  • Whirlwind Fiesta 2026

    Kicks Off June 1

    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!
