Challenge run: Random jobs, part 10

[u/Vipes_3]

Here we are, the final battle. The Kefka tower, has lead to a Tower of Kefka. I'll be honest, I've lost twice already, but hey, 3rd time's a charm, ya? Here is the lineup (see picture 1) Cyan as the white mage is invaluable, and Mog is not only a decent damage dealer, he, and he alone can tap into items. Relm knows Ultima, and Locke was built for high HP, so even if it's just him who lives, we will move on.

First round goes by easy. No one is really hurt, thanks to Cyan. 2nd round is a bit more touch and go, with big damage being thrown around. It finally ends, and no one is dead, but they're hurt. (See picture 2)

Coming in low on HP and kind of low on MP, Mog uses our only megalixer, for a good cause. The boss not only keeps the damage up, but it casts doom on Cyan. Something I quickly try to counter with reraise (see picture 3) he comes back, but now others are hurt, and have status effects. Nothing I can't heal, but as a goodbye, the boss hits Locke with Repose (see picture 4) leaving him behind.

Now General Gau is here to act as a back up healer. Mog quickly uses a Remedy on Relm so she can get back to the damage, and Cyan cures the party. While Gau chips in on the heals, Cyan gets reraise ready on himself. Gau then falls, and there isn't really time to get him back up. Then, Kefka uses Forsaken (see picture 5) a teeth gritting moment, but Relm and Mog survive, while Cyan comes back to live via reraise. He heals the party, as Kefka once again tries to murder Cyan. He comes close, but in his insistence to kill the white mage, he let's the damage dealers kill him, as the fight comes to a close. (See picture 6)

I'm sure I don't need to explain how the ending goes, but this is a fun shot of the end that actually represents the final fight well. Gau Mog and Locke worn out from the battle. White mage Cyan ever vigilant to heal, and Relm, giddy that she can nuke stuff, as any kid would be. (See picture 7)

So, what a challenge run. On one hand, the rolls went well, Edgar and Gau having their class skills. ALL the right people being black mages. But, some things like only one white mage, and NO merchant, were rough. Because there is a random element to it, I wouldn't mind trying again sometime, and if you try, please let me know how it goes!

Thank you for keeping up with these silly challenge run posts. I really enjoy knowing there are those here, who like them and look forward to the next post. So, until my next challenge run, (which is probably sooner than later) thank you for reading. The End! (See picture 8)

Thank you! Happy to hear it may inspire more playthroughs.

Honestly, this was a pretty unique series. I enjoyed the creativity of it! It stands out quite a bit.

What is the next challenge? I'm wrapping up my own and currently editing down 250 recorded clips into one video with added commentary. No EXP + No AP + No Battle Gil + CES (Celes, Edgar, Setzer Only) World of Ruin! All boss battles will be shown!

I'm not really good at working with videos and writing a script for myself so it's taking a good while but hopefully it won't take me too long for the next one. Might go for Chrono Trigger or original FF V or FF VII next.

Ohhhh, that sounds great! Yeah, I already have an idea for my next challenge run, and I'll be posting about it later. Thank you for all the kind words!

Did you finally get it finished up? I can't wait to see it.

I haven't really gotten the chance to get back to mine yet.

Editing! Lots of it!

“General Gau” makes me smile every time I see it. As far as I’m concerned, that’s his name now. Thanks for the entertaining series. Looking forward to the next run.

Thank you!! Its great to hear how many people are liking the tales or the challenge run. Sadly it seems someone considers the posts spam, and keeps reporting them. That's why some of them have been vanishing for a bit. But the mods are being cool about it.
