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