my man saw his video get over 1k and went yeah i better make some shorts of that. I'm here for it!

15:58 fun fact the really early versions of terraria actually did use those sprites

i heard that one nostril zelda thing you can't get one past me

Using this to cure my chronic insomnia (not an insult, your videos are excellent)

1:50 This music here made me realize how inferior the GBA's sound hardware is to the SNES

7:11 "I'm not a mind reader for crying out loud" says the guy who won a contest on a radio show when they didn't say anything

Howdy. I'm that weirdo who likes Animals. Nightingale was a decent heal all when my party comp was between dedicated healers.

Hell yes more FFV content

Good video, I would love to see an accessory focused video from you!

You actually can Magic Underflow with the Rune Axe. The Giant Gauntlet, a rare steal from Azulmagia, also gives -5 Magic so if you combine it with the Thornlet it counteracts the Rune Axe's bonus enough to reach -1.

ablilty teir list when?

Don’t think you’ll see this but this isn’t in the ffv coop playlist

The Judgement Staff has another application, though it loses it's usefulness in Dimensional Rift unless you're using a class that uses staffs as the main equip, which if you're like me, you have all Jobs mastered long before actually going through that. If you master Ranger and obtain Rapid Fire skill, you can use it combined with Judgement Staff as a multihit that doesn't lose damage due to it being counted as a spell instead of physical damage. The downside, if something has reflect or is immune to Holy, this loses it's edge.

In regards to the fixed damage elemental attacks, while most of the time the element is only there for elemental weakness/immunity/etc, the gladiator's Finisher is actually kinda interesting. Not only does it have the standard elemental interactions (5k if halved, 0 if immune, 10k heal if absorb), it also functions like the -ga tier spellblades where if an enemy is weak to that element and not heavy, the attack will outright kill them. Useful in the void to potentially quickly kill some of the high hp enemies in the crystal area since they're weak to Lenna's water Elemental Attack.

For me, the best weapon in this game are the elemental staves! 100%! I love getting past the early-game as quickly as possible so I can get to the Samurai as quickly as possible!

Some interesting points. I want to try a berserk run (not berserker). I wonder if dual-wield gaia hammers is the best it gets, or if other weapons can outperform it (maybe a twin lance/chicken knife with a high agility job mastered. Maybe a rune blade/axe with some mastered magic class. I doubt a kaiser knuckle barehanded berserker could, but maybe the crits do something, though katanas might be better).

The main Equipment that seems to be most notable from the Extra Sealed Temple Dungeon in Final Fantasy V Advance and the 2013 Mobile version to be the Gladius Knife with a power of 117, Holy Elemental, +2 Agility, Spellblade compatable The Knight Sword Apocalypse, with a power of 145, +3 Strength and Stamina, Spellblade compatable The Ultima Weapon Sword, 180 power +2 Strength, Stamina and Agility, Spellblade compatable, Dropped by Neo Shinryu The Mutsunokami Katana, 142 power, 50% crit rate The Force Shield, Immune to all Elements, -5 agility The Vishnu Vest, Half Fire, Ice, Lightinge damage The Gladius is notable because it allows a Mime to one shot Omega alongside the Chicken Knife and Hyper Wrist lets a Mimic one round omega which you have a rematch with multiple on the way to Omega MK II.

I feel like red mage without a second caster class to make dualcast do something worthwhile is still worse than berserker. At least berserker can give other characters high strength, which automatically makes the rest of your worst party more useful. Dualcasting cura or protect isn't really doing anything.

Also, random observation about Kaiser Knuckles from messing around in Pixel Remaster. In some versions of the game, including Pixel Remaster, Kaiser Knuckles also boost the attack power of Kick in addition to barehanded attack. Pixel Remaster also changed the damage formula for Kick from using the Monk's unarmed attack power (level x 2) to just using Attack Power, so if you give your Monk an equip weapon ability and a high attack power weapon in that version it makes Kick do more damage. And Kaiser Knuckles still apply the attack boost to Kick even if you have a weapon equipped. I gave Monk Lenna the Masamune and a pair of Kaiser Knucles and she was kicking for 2500-3000 damage. Best part is you can swap weapons in combat so you can always just unequip your weapons if you need Kaiser Knuckle boosted barehand strikes and put it back on when you wanna kick.

Spears and Bells are the most undercooked weapon types by far. Spears are a big part of why Dragoons are so boring; the class is entirely built around using spears and an ability that practically requires spears and yet spears are mostly a "number go up" weapon with almost no variety. The best spear in the game is the Twin Lance which (despite being called a lance and using the spear icon) is coded as a boomerang and unusable by the Dragoon. It also doesn't get a Jump bonus in Pixel Remaster like it's supposed to which is even worse. The Blood Lance from FF3 and FF4 is entirely absent as are the Fire Lance and Ice Lance from FF4. The Holy Lance is kneecapped by the obnoxious number of endgame enemies that absorb Holy (including the Gargoyles and Minotaur) and the next best lance is a HUGE downgrade whereas a Knight using Excalibur can just swap to the Defender that the game just throws at you right before Minotaur. I'd honestly like Dragoons a whole lot more if this game had the Blood Lance and they could actually use the Twin Lance. Bells are a good idea in theory. There are definitely some encounters, especially bosses, where Gaia isn't useful and having access to a long range weapon that uses magic and agility for its damage is a good alternative for those fights. Or at least it would be if there was literally any new bell in between the Diamond Bell and Gaia Bell. On top of that, the two best bells both have massive flaws for the Geomancer. Gaia Bell uses the Axe damage formula, so it doesn't leverage their massive magic stat except when it procs Earthquake and the Rune Chime, in addition to not boosting Water for some reason, also isn't long range despite the fact that it was listed as such in older versions. Really is a shame; if there were a couple additional bells between Diamond and Gaia the way there is for harps (especially if they could cause status ailments) and the Rune Chime was properly long range and boosted everything it would make Geomancer quite a bit more useful overall.

i think we all know the real reason why swords are the best weapon in this game

Loved this and your video on weapons.

A better way to rank the weapons might be a diamond, where the horizontal axis represents general/situational use and the vertical axis represents attack power.

The rune chime is nice. It boosts all elements except water. One of the bells is a magic attack.

The killer bow is handy at times. The gale bow is alright. Artemis bow is nice.

13:16 the dragon Lance can be stolen from the old guys in the jail area with Catastrophy

Stalves: judgement staff is good.

Rod smash with rod equiped is even better.

Hmm...best weapon for what? The most powerful and accessible weapon is definitly the chicken knife. The biggest problem with the brave blade...involuntarily fleeing/teleporting/exiting from battle.

I'm hoping a "best weapon for each Crystal" vid comes out. My list is the Mithril Sword (Wind Crystal; Blue Mage), Mage Masher (Water Crystal; Summoner), Whip (Fire Crystal; Beastmaster) and N/A for Earth Crystal since I haven't tackled Ronka Ruins yet. I took into account what's available at the time of/in between each Crystal, compatibility with the chosen Job, and added effects, including those of Blue Magic.

Hey man-I don’t have anything to add here content wise. Just think your presentation is lovely and makes the information extremely accessible for how much information there actually is. Very clean, very nice. And your voice and sense of humor is nice too. “I apologize in advance if I’m pronouncing Gauche wrong; I’ve never actually tried to learn how to say it” lmao this is just charming dawg

I'd probably switch axes and the ninja/thief weapons, if I was doing something weird like Freelancers only I would definitely end up using axes numerous times(Death Scythes alone are so immensely useful and available at a great time), but I don't see myself ever equipping any of the ninja weapons besides maybe the one in the fire ship or the twin lance for a bit at the end of Exdeath's castle. Late game Thors Hammer, Rune Axe, Titan's Axe are all pretty solid options. Axe's ignoring defense is also sporadically pretty useful if you're in some kind of melee locked situation Other than that I think I pretty much agree, despite years of Fiestas now I've only had like a single run ever that I finished somehow with a Staff user (a Red Mage Krile just last year) so I haven't really messed with them too much but the heal rod probably earns that spot on its own with how many times its dragged my natural runs thru liquid flame and soul cannon

I'd say a Monk's bare hands are the real strongest weapons in the game. They are duel wielded by default with no shields, also atk stat is buffed by 2 points each level up. And by the time level 90 is reached, it's stronger than a duel wielded Ultima Weapon.

Honestly I'd put Axes in B Tier for, well, all the notable weapons you pointed out. They're definitely not as reliable as anything in A tier, but I find the existence of Death Scythe/Gaia Hammer/Rune Axe alone makes them better than anything in B tier. They do come with the caveat of being attached to berserker, but eh, I don't think that job is as bad as people say. I'd genuinely take a berserker over a dragoon.

In a Fiesta, if you can equip knives and rod, you can ensure rare steals after Twin Towers. Have your fastest character with Thief Knife, second fastest with Wonder Wand, and cursor on memory. While looking for your encounter/before engaging a boss, have your first character attack, your second character use item->Equiped items->Wonder Wand but don't confirm, go back to the main command menu and defend. End the random encounter with 3rd and 4th characters by winning/fleeing. When you find your encounter/boss, use autobattle/press confirm to in order attack with Thief Knife then cast return from the wand. Once you see you stole the rare thief, finish the fight however you want. Notable W3/Void steals include Rune Blade (Stingray), Enhancer (Sword Dancer), Aegis Shield, Dancer equipment and expensive accessories and Ribbon/Elven Cape/Protect Ring (Mirage Tower), Dragon Lance (Crystal Dragon), Bone Mail (Necromancer), Artemis Bow (Dragon Aevis), Lilith Rod (Farfarello), Judgement Staff (History Lithos), Thor's Hammer (Death Claw), Murakumo (Yojimbo), Defender (Sea Devil), Dragon's Whisker (Shinryu). The only annoying ones are Man Eater (as the frogged dragon/Ghydra are in front), Golden Hairpin on Gogo (timer), Kornago Gourd on Omniscient (but there's another setup with Mage Masher and Reflect Ring), and any steal that's only on a second form (Twintania, Jura Aevis, Neo-Exdeath)

How good would some of the axes/hammers be with rapid fire cause it removes accuracy issues

I'm noticing a trend on the weapons that don't have a penalty for attacking on the back row being ranked low. I'm partial to mixing long range weapons with magic such as a ranger with white magic so I can have them on the back row to take less damage but they can still physically attack without penalty when I want to conserve MP. That is until the endgame when everyone is a freelancer.

Nice job on this video, you have learned much about FFV and this is a fairly correct tier list. Knives and swords are indeed S and that's the most important placement to get right. -Pixel Remaster rod breaking is extra OP because you can hold an elemental rod in your hand and break the same type of rod from inventory, thereby boosting its damage AND rod breaking doesn't take the halved multitarget damage penalty on PR. Basically rod breaking is so good it's still one of the best options when fighting Neo ExDeath in the final battle on PR. This is a ridiculous change from the earlier versions, it makes Red Mage more viable at the end at the expense of making all rod users OP for the whole game. Wonder Rod is only really needed in 4job fiesta runs to get you access to a few key spells your team might not have otherwise in order to defeat a superboss or make that one squishy unit survive longer. -Staves are a bit too niche to warrant A tier to me, and a few of them are annoying to get too. I'd probably bump them down at least one tier. -Spears are limited in number and most of them suck or are hard to get. Even the legendary holy spear is given right before you fight the Gargoyles and Minotaurus who both absorb the holy element. The Javelin is only available in W1 as a rare steal, and it's basically the same power as the heavy spear which you get right before the end of W2. Extremely lame, I'd put spears down at least one tier since Dragoon can just use knives instead and wants to stay on the ground tanking anyway. Dragoon spear rules, but it's a rare steal that you get incredibly late and it's often not worth the effort at that point unless you want to kill Shinryuu. Dragoon is a pretty bad job, and spears being bad is part of that. -I'd put Axes in low B tier, they're pretty useful esp. when you know the enemies that are weak to death status. The endgame axes are solid too, with decent hit rates. In a fiesta setting, you can get a lot out of axes and you listed a lot of their good points. I'm biased toward fiesta runs though, playing unrestricted there's less reason to use axes. -I always say the legendary bell should have been the rune chime. Bells are still mostly rare trash though, and deserving of bottom tier. Geomancer rarely uses them instead of the Gaia attack or a knife. -All the harps are complete trash except the apollo harp, which rules. 8x dmg to undead and dragons. I still don't know if that pulls harps out of bottom tier though, lol. Bard with a main gauche and elf cape to avoid getting knocked out of singing is more common than an attack bard anyway. -I made an accessories tier list, I'll try and send it to you since I'll never be making a video about it. -One nice thing about the FFV Career Day randomizer is you'll get more common access to more of the game's rarer/quirkier weapons so you can play around with them more. I recommend trying it out.

The Bard's main use I find is killing everything in sight for free in that one Pyramid when you're down a character with Requiem.

About rod breaking, it casts a -aga spell on all enemies at FULL power, while targeting all enemies with an actual -aga spell halves the damage. So a Black Mage is way better if you Rod break the same elemental rod that they’re using as it further boosts the damage.

dragon lances are cool but I felt like giving up on getting one after like 1.5 hour of stealing attempts lol I didn't even need it because I deleted shinryu with dual wield rapid fire chicken knife and some other weapon which destroyed his hp, just thought they were cool and wanted one.

The very concept of the Healing Staff across the FF series is just hilarious to me. The idea of beating someone over the head with a quarter staff and their wounds healing is an image I will never not find funny

On the point of the pronunciation of "main gauche" - "main" is pronounced like "men", and "gauche" has the same vowel sound as "ghost"

The platforming of Crystal Project is by design somewhat limiting, because when you access mounts the navigation is meant to become significantly easier. The main reason it can feel too hard without them is that it *allows* you to do a number of area skips and tricks to get loot early on if you want to platform harder for it. It's actually intended to be sequence broken by obtuse jump sequences if you know what you're doing. Then when you unlock each mount it is a breath of fresh air for each kind of navigation they specialize in. As an aside, the game itself includes what you normally would see as mods, like multiple randomizer options. It is very clearly a game designed by game nerds.

A few weapons that I feel haven't been talked about enough that I feel should be notable. Enhancer (Sword): This acts as a nice Magic statstick for classes that can equip swords, if for any reason you want them to use !Black or !White commands, but don't have access to Rods or Staves respectively. But also, if you're running a class that can't use Knightswords (EG: Mystic Knight), it is the strongest sword you have access to. Great weapon all around and allows you to pass the Chicken Knife over to someone else if the situation desires it. Rune Blade (Knightsword): Auto-critting is such a broken mechanic, honestly. I've ran randomizers before where I was reliant on this weapon for high-end DPS and for the most part, Rune Edge gets the job done. I've ran Sword Dance builds with this weapon and I've found myself hitting close to damage cap, even leaning on this weapon to defeat Shinryuu sometimes. Sure, there are other builds that might be more consistent, but don't sleep on Rune Edge. Thief Knife (Knife): In a FJF run, this is your only means of stealing equipment pieces if you don't have a Thief in your party. It is also the third strongest Knife you have access to (barring Sword Dance procs from Dancing Dagger), so it's not shabby in melee combat either. Dancing Dagger (Knife): This was listed under notable weapons and was briefly touched on, but I need to remind that having Lamia's Tiara eliminates a lot of the RNG associated with the Dance command itself. The problem is you still have to activate the 50% proc chance of getting the Dance command to begin with, but once you do, you'll get Sword Dance far more often. In short, any class that has access to mage-type equipment get an advantage here, but Red Mage, Blue Mage, and Chemist are particularly notable, as they can also use the Power Sash/Black Garb to go with it. Granted, they'll actually need the stats to make good use of this, so handing them any ability that augment their Strength stat would help tremendously.

There are many stealable weapons in the last dungeon that are stronger than legendary ones. There is the dragon lance and a katana which name I forgot.

so id say that was a pretty good ranking. things just come down to "this is good when it meets these specific situation" like Dancer using Barehanded with Sword dance. but outside of that im not partial with the "job specific" weapons. i guess it comes down to "this job makes more use from weapon A vs weapon B" kind of scenario. i guess.

Yay!
