Fiesta Team (Run #2)KGT/THF/RAN/NIN
Just finished reading Orlando by Virginia Woolf. What a fascinating and beautifully written book. It’s pretty amazing that it was published in 1928 (only three more years until its birthday). If you love literary and fantastic narratives, Orlando isn’t to be discounted. #AmReading #VirginiaWoolf
Good riddance to this bastard, and god bless X-Fight blood sword strats.
And rounding out the roster: Ranger and Ninja. Really excited to see what the team looks like at endgame, I’ve never been able to combine X-Fight and Two-Handed before, so I’m very excited about that. As for difficulty so far the game has been putting up a reasonable challenge so far. I’m routinely finishing bosses with just a couple of hp left which feels fantastic.
Second job dropped: Thief. Not that stoked, but I am stoked for easy chicken knife usage and the genji set!

Despite my better judgement I’ve went in for a No 750 fiesta run, with the Sirocco flavour. My first job is Knight which will mean a pretty breezy start and some great single target damage and tanking late in the run. Wish me luck!

Looking back at run number one of this year’s fiesta, I think rods carried me a little too much. If I do another run I think I might try a No 750 run to force me to think a little further outside the box. Anybody done one of those before? Also tempted to mix up the crystal order options a bit too, we’ll see.

Here’s the winning team. Managed it at level 38/39. Incidentally, the same party my friend had for his first fiesta last year. Geomancer wasn’t as bad as I thought, and Time Mage remains one of my all time fav jobs for the fiesta.

Absolutely dusted NED (after a few tries) by snapping’ rods and pelting him with coins. Another fiesta in the books!
This team gets Shinryu to go down! Now NED is only a matter of time..

Last night I finally beat the Chapter 3 Roaring Knight fight after three days of attempts!!

Wow, that has to be one of the most difficult bosses between both games. I think it’s on the same playing field as Sans (and I wasn’t expecting to say that this early in the game). It felt so good to get through it, but I do still have some major problems with it. There are some attacks that can just screw your run at complete random, and some very dodgy hitboxes as well. It’s possible, but damn hard. I’ll say the final attack is brilliantly made, just hard enough to spook you/make you choke.

I’m excited to see what they do with the Knight’s character in the future, and whether or not we fight them again. At any rate, I’ve started Chapter 4 now, and it’s already a doozy.
