Btw dancer gear doesn't change sword dance to 1/3. It changes it to 1/2.

Out of an entire ballroom of dance puns "turning 360 degrees and moonwalking out" was the one that got me best :D In older versions of FFV the "sword dance up" gear makes Sword Dance replace Tempting Tango, resulting in a 2/4 chance rather than 1/3. As usual I can't speak for the PR's programming. Normally I never have more than one Dancer in the party. Seeing a full squad of Dancers get whiffed on by every status ailment really makes those ribbons stand out. Almost as if status resistances were a legitimate 4th defensive stat, like m.def and hp. _Almost._ I am almost as excited as you for some impotent White Hole spam! Dancers always have it rough against Almagest, but I'd be worried if a level 47+ character couldn't take it. The exp curve gets _so_ brutal in the 40s that mid 40s is what I'd call max level even in most challenge runs. ( But not Berserker DX ) Now you have me guessing which job peaks at Karnak. My first instinct is Red Mage, but I could see an argument for the Thief's fancy new spinny weapon + movement speed + back attack prevention all working together in the burning castle.
I don't understand why they didn't make each dancer equipment cancel 1 of the dances for sword dance. There's 3 of them, lamia tiara, rainbow dress, red slippers. You could say each of them removed one of the other 3 dances, so equiping all 3 garantees sword dance. Sword dance isn't even that op. If you don't want other classes to abuse it with better weapons, just make dance like kick so no one can ever learn it outside of dancer. Then you could only use it with low attack daggers.
You can also learn some dances in towns with ... The dancers in every pub. Also for bards in any future challenges. You can learn songs with the piano plays challenge
This is making me curious about the GBA jobs like Cannoneer, Gladiator, Necromancer, and Oracle for this challenge. though, they are such late game jobs that, maybe it wouldn’t really matter unless they were modded to unlock earlier?

"Maybe I could've danced Omniscient to death" Theoretically possible, but thank you for not actually doing it; we want you to actually upload once in a while :P
@@veghesther3204 Did not know that! I thought the absorption abilities would be classed as spells for the purpose of that battle. The more you know!
I wonder if there's a randomizer tool or something for the remaster to change either the starting class or one of the wind crystal jobs, so you can start the challenge immediately. Though, equipment availability might be a problem for some classes.
Lamia's Tiara can be picked up in world 1 but it is harder to get imo than Gaia Hammer from Titan is. Granted a rare steal in world 1 when the foe has a common drop as well before you get reset magic is just hell no matter what. Wonder how much fun the thief is gonna be? All that cool gear you can steal but not use (besides twin lance at least)
It'd be nice if the Thief Knife was available earlier, but like most of the good stuff in FF5 its hard locked to the end game. If you could get some rare steals early it would adjust a lot of the runs.
gonna be honest. if you cheat and get the job early in the start of the game i wont judge. its sad having to wait till the 3rd and 4th crystal to even start it
Honestly more surprised that you didnt start with freelancer only, pragmatically forking your save after every crystal and mime, than i am that you forked your save after the earth crystal. Though i suppose this way does offer the chance to have less repeated pre job challenge content, so hey.
Samurai, Dragoon or Dancer only? So either you aren't doing a Chemist run or your Chemist run up to getting the job is going to be very different somehow?
@@BacklogBuster No big deal! It was just how it was presented that struck me as odd thats all. Thank you for the videos you make and the work that goes into them!
FFT will be on the menu at some point. I have Monk Only banked for once I'm done FF5. I don't really want to use mods so I'd have to do something else out since Ramza can't be a Dancer. 4x Dancer with Ramza Bard is usually the concession I've seen so I may try it. Who knows maybe I go back and figure out something from FFHacktics.

Radio message from HQ: Dance commander, we love you!
This is quickly becoming one of my most anticipated series and it’s giving me ideas for how to improve my own playthroughs.
This series makes me very happy; I would so watch an ff3 version

These videos have been my lullabies for the last week or so. Thank you, you somehow have energy and are calming at the same time lol.
I was never more excited to see a upload. Lets go.
"People die, and Yuna dances."
FINALLY, THE LAST DANCE 💃
Just finished ffv for the very first time, been enjoying your videos since 🎉
40:21 And then he turned himself into a tree ; funniest shit i've ever seen.

12:52 Electric Six reference, excellent. Time to start a fire in the disco...
i was wondering why i heard the "Rotisserie Boys" joke again but then i finally understood what you meant about the saves in the intro 😂
Dancer, more like Gambler.
But still; when the dice/dance rolls are good, lady luck hits like a truck.
Dancers are my favorite Final Fantasy job! So glad you posted this, made my day! 🕺🏼💃😂
Im so excited to see the summoner run
One of my favorite combos in this game is unarmed strike plus sword dance
Excited to see thief only.
Thanks man these videos are plenty amusing.
Dancer isn't really good...but the sprites of the characters in their dancer outfits ?
slay 😍
I've not played this game, only learned about it via this series and beyond invested
Eh, no need to be ashamed of grinding as a Dancer. It’s right there in the job description.
I always loved Dancer in FF5, so I've been looking forward to this one with all your dancing dagger complaints lmao
You can.
Dance if you want to you could leave your friends behind
Oh boy, I was really looking forward to seeing how these harder to use jobs fare.
The Electric Six references are medicine right now.
Can't wait for chemist cheese
First time watcher. Love the ESix references.
Getting the Main Gauche is non-ne-Gauche-able
Keep it up man, this is an awesome series.
20:47 Disco Inferno was right there man…
The crew is going to tell us about a hot new club fire! This club has everything: candles, fireplaces, fire rods, MTV's dan Cortez.
Honestly this was brutal. But it was fun to watch and yes Dancer is hard to use
As Lena say: "If you dance, I'll dance. And if you don't, I'll dance anyway"
This’ll be an interesting watch.
I know having ONE dancer can be nice, let’s see if having four makes them step on each others toes.
You can also learn some dances in towns with ... The dancers in every pub. Also for bards in any future challenges. You can learn songs with the piano plays challenge
Thats not how dancer works in FF5.
Babe, wake up. Backlog Buster posted!
Babe wake up! Backlog Buster did another FF5 challenge run!
This is making me curious about the GBA jobs like Cannoneer, Gladiator, Necromancer, and Oracle for this challenge. though, they are such late game jobs that, maybe it wouldn’t really matter unless they were modded to unlock earlier?
I saw E6 in concert and shook hands with every member
Damn you got to touch Tait Nucleus? ?
Damn he really didn't lie when he said dancer was in exactly 5 episodes
Great video
A God Emperor of Dune reference…kull wahad!
“I’m not his stud.
That’s just something he’ll have to understand…”
I'm just here for the Electric Six references.
Cant wait for Berserker and White Mage!
You wont be waiting too long for berserker.
I heard that Electric Six reference there you sly dog. You must obey the dance commander.
Saving the world with the power of dance. 😂😂😂
Wonder if you could get a mod that let's you use any job from the start? That could an alternative to reusing footage.
*rubs magic lamp wishing for Berserker run*
Red mage run hype
You get all the internet points for referencing Electric Six
You won't find Survivor Breaking out these moves LOL I had a fun time pumping up the Mog and Yeti Characters though! all they way

I bet you were happy once you got all four Ribbons.
Tell us the story about the golf ball necklace
I'm just waiting on berzerker only.
Necromancer only. (Ik its freelancer only but the sealed temple psrt makes it more fun)

Hey Macarena!...lol couldn't resist
Heck yeah
So you finally went there...
Callin' it now, this one's gonna be rough.
Also, re: Rule 3 - What if our favorite game is the same?
Now do FFV with 4 bards
Big dance.
U gonna do a Chemist only?
Does equiping a frost rod before shattering another boost its power by 50%?
Yes, but only in the Pixel Remaster. In the other versions you break the equipped rod.
Hope you don't mind if I waltz right in
Should have just kept them all in the back row. Sword Dance does the same damage in the back.
Question on the magic part, can't you just be a dancer and use rods?
Did you attempt the Omega or Shinryu fights on any of these runs?
Super bosses are outside the scope of these challenges.
aww Shi*, i missed 2 episodes... i know what im doing today
You probably should have kept the dancing dagger.
Berserker when
That is going to be rough.
I take it that the next job is red mage
No views gang who up
I just got out of the club. What'd I miss?
gonna be honest. if you cheat and get the job early in the start of the game i wont judge. its sad having to wait till the 3rd and 4th crystal to even start it
How did you endure all this torture with the job dancer?
12:46 I hope you figured out at some point that PR Dancers do full damage from the back row...

if this grind was hard you should try tactics. 3 hours can get you a lot or a little depending on what you want to grind lol
Samurai, Dragoon or Dancer only? So either you aren't doing a Chemist run or your Chemist run up to getting the job is going to be very different somehow?
@@veghesther3204 That's fair I was just confused because Chemist was the only Earth Crystal job not mentioned.
I have the order pre-determined. Chemist is going to be one of the final jobs just because I don't want to be constantly referencing the mix list.
@@BacklogBuster No big deal! It was just how it was presented that struck me as odd thats all. Thank you for the videos you make and the work that goes into them!

Scripting.

So, the worst class in the game (arguably) popped off really hard right at the end?
That's the most "old-school JRPG" thing I've ever seen.
Dancers not the worst class, I just hate the randomized dance effect, which is one of two things dancer has going for it.
Should had used to cheat to just give the job from the start. More accurate and fair assessment of the jobs that way.
No
Some of the jobs don't get anywepons until you unlock them so it's not fair anyway.
Suavemente.
