    This a randomizer for people who want to just play random challenge runs in Final Fantasy V:

    • while having the option to automatically enforce game rules and grant challenge rewards via a romhack when played via our web emulator;
    • 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.

    Does not affect randomization. Our web emulator currently only supports “At Game Start”, so choose it to give yourself the option of auto badges and leaderboards by playing in our web emulator. Doing so restricts you to certain flagsets. Also, “At Game Start” cannot be rerolled until your run is marked completed.

    Are you up for this classic challenge now?

    Earn badges and compete on our leaderboards if you prevail.

    Other hacks are also supported, many of which are exclusive to our community.

    C. Release Build: Features

    You can find the release on Romhack Plaza here.

    To use the hack, as a registered user of our website, click on Roll My Jobs in the top navigation bar to access our Four-Job Fiesta web app.

    Note that both registered and unregistered users can roll jobs for personal use, such as in offline runs on a local emulator.

    Click on the Randomize! button to get your job rolls.

    Hover over Play in the top navigation bar and then click SNES. Drag your Four-Job Fiesta hack into our web emulator to play.

    Your job rolls apply to your game automatically.

    Various Fiesta rules are enforced by the hack.

    If so, you will be awarded a game badge.

    Victorious players during a Fiesta season are also eligible to be awarded an event badge for the season.

    Players can also compete on our leaderboards. Players have the option to link to a YouTube video of their full run.

    E. Event Announcement

    Introducing Classic Four-Job Fiesta (FJF), based on the FJF mod of Final Fantasy V.

    To participate in this event, using our web emulator is required. Web registration is needed to use the web emulator.

    Discord membership is not required to use the web emulator or to join the event. However, Discord membership is required to make a support request and to receive support relating to the event.

    The web emulator allows fast forwarding but does not allow loading states.

    Players who prevail in the event are eligible to earn a one-time game badge for the mod (obtainable year-round). Players are also eligible to earn a season-specific event badge (design TBA). They are also eligible to earn a tiered Discord role for completing the event.
