Thanks for watching Backlog Buster, and special thanks to my friends for meme ideas.
All white mage challenges is probably gonna be the most painful part of this series. That or Berserker when you get to it.
Its kinda funny because white mage is one of the most overpowered classes in the game, but the second you use four of them that changes for the worse
I think the Berserker would be genuinely impossible, at least if you include the Omniscient fight. I know he bypasses that fight with non-magical Jobs for the sake of not pointlessly sitting around for literal hours waiting for Omniscient's massive MP pool to drain, but in the case of Berserker even that wouldn't even be an option.
You might be able to cheese it with Mage Mashers, since they have the chance to cast Silence, but I don't know off the top of my head if Omniscient is immune to Silence or not.
I also wouldn't want to run the numbers on the luck you'd need to keep it silenced the entire fight.
Thief will probably be awful too...
@SageOfLegaia White Mages cannot equip knives
"So if I find a dragon, enrage him, and manage to survive being set aflame somehow... I could then breathe fire, too?"
"Precisely."
"Uh-huh. It'd be less trouble to set myself on fire and hug my enemies. To me, I don't know, that seems like a sign. A big one that says, *'I hate blue magic.'"*

The dip into beastmaster to grab cool and powerful spells to show off in a single job challenge is neat and better than some silly technicality anyway
I agree. I view these as job showcases as much as a challenge. Just a bit of a shame Blue Mage needs Beastmaster to get the fully realized spell pool.
Okay. Confusing enemies to get Blue Magic is supposed to work, but since you played the PR version before it got patched (that added boost etc.) said quirk was bugged, and Confused enemies always casted the blue spells on themself. The recent patch should fix said bug.
About that for WHITE wind confused enemies on any version of the game NEVER really USED White Wind on your party so 4x Blue mages can NEVER learn it.
@@veghesther3204 when I was a kid playing on an untranslated rom I managed to get white wind using the bard's charm song on the Lonkan ship. Is charm different than confuse?
@@thesagem Yes. But also, this comment is referring to PR, so moot either way.
Big if true for future challengers. My run will forever be tarnished.
@BacklogBuster Yeah, people on FF5 Fiesta server have confirmed to be the case.
Never been to a vid so fast. These FF5 runs are good for my soul, thanks Wes.
I love blue magic in any ff game. I will enjoy this!
Loving the series so far. FFV has always been one of my favorites. Looking forward to seeing Summoner!
When I played FF5 for this first time back when it came out for the GBA I actually knew what Blue Mage did because of FF7 and the enemy skill materia. But actually finding the spells and such was a different story, lol. I remember trying Blue Mage out and getting Goblin Punch and Aero and that was about it. I wish they had more in game ways to find out if a monster had a blue magic spell or not.
I'm so glad you knew about making Azulmagia blow himself up.
What a great video series. I hope your channel thrives dude ❤
Young me when I tried blue mage "This is dumb"
Young me when I understood blue mage " Oh... oh this is BUSTED!"
love these videos man
This series is actually fun to watch.
Great series I'm looking forward to seeing how to tackle the later jobs.
"I'm the neighbor who's constantly mowing it" perfect
Great series! It finally dawned on me. You are the person I watch the blue magic guide. On your other channel
YESSSSS I WAS WAITING FOR THIS UPLOAD😍😍
the funniest thing to do with Blue Mage is to hit Old, then go for the lv 5 death, by spamming the pause button to make sure the ticks land correctly.
38:38 Exdeath looking like a celestial blunt
Hey man. You make fun videos.
Thank you.
Huhhh i always thought you could one shot Purobolos with Aqua Rake... Seriously this game has so many secret ways to cheese bosses, its soooooo fun.
I love just having fun with these vids rather than people who take themselves to seriously and "Uuhhhm you cheated!!"
Keep doing your thing man
I love these vids. Backlog Buster is the John Madden of challenge videos, lol. Just need to work in drawing circles around something, with some squiggly lines, and some onomatopoeia's like Thwak, snork, thunk, Zok, & Zorp.
Dancer is going to be interesting. Specially once Krile joins the party. Every time she dances there is a chance Steven Segal jumps (what? lol. I meant waddles) out of a bush and tries to make her his new Girlfriend.
transmetal beasties is THE most canadian thing ive ever heard
Definitely four beastmasters should give a good challenge.
Nicely done and injoy 😮😮
this is what ive been waiting for
Been waiting for this one.
honestly I can't wait for the Mime challenge.. haha
Same
How would that even work? Freelancer until the last 15 minutes? Haha could be interesting though
@@Alucard-qq7wb I meant "same" in response to blue mages. Yeah Mime would be interested to see
I love Blue Mage! That was a fun watch :)
Love this series
I know a lot of these are all already recorded, but I really think you should get the other classes as early as you get the first crystal, just to showcase more of it whenever possible instead of freelancer.
That said, loving the series! Keep 'em coming!
After watching Black Mage Only, I've been stocked to see how fun this will get.
The one we all waited for
Before watching I assume this will be easy. The more you know about ff5 really helps this class compared to going blind.
Blue Magic is my favorite thing in all RPGS and its debut in FF5 is phenomenal
Excellent! Good work as always. Next time can you do Lufia Fortress of Doom or Xenogears? Challenge: don't fall asleep
I'm never going through Lufia again. Once was enough.
I'm so looking formward to the day you do the solo bard run
Im finally making real progress in Bard only. Solo? Not a chance.
I love to watch these as I have dinner, also Gilgamesh? You mean Greg
The Charm spell on Vampire (the Blue Mage job from Bravely Defauly) DOES actually make enemies use their helpgul abilties on you.
I am very thankful for that. Also confusion can work as well
16:00 it’s taken me a bit but I’ve suddenly realized how poorly the Submarine bit in this game has aged…😂😅
You can actually still find Mythril Dragons in world 3 even after the library gets sucked
Crazy how differently you seem to act compared to back then. You certainly seem to show out a lot more emotion compared to back then. Gotta hand it to ya, did a rather swell job on this one.
I feel the pain of not being able to get some blue magic. Im doing a 4 job playthrough. Rolled blue mage, red mage, ranger,l and samurai.
I can confirm that at least white wind and transfusion can be obtained by the confuse spell in the GBA version of the game.
40:01 I need this on a sign above my screen or something
Aw, someone else did Blue Mage only while dipping into BeastMaster this week. I'd love to see a run without it! I do feel a bit cheated.
Good bits
Babe, wake up, Backlog Buster just posted
when's next episode? am addicted sir
I would have preffered if you wouldnt use the lamp and breaking rods, since that isnt an ability exclusive to a spefic job and did make some parts of this challenge similiar to what you did in the black mage one. You could techically go as far as banning the use off items in out right when in battle, but I already know that would make jobs with access to healing otherwise a pain.
I set up the rules at the start of the video.
Blue mage run should allow for acquisition of control skill.
If you had a full team of level 5, goblin punch does octuple damage and you just kill Karlaboss
I have the pixel remasters on pc and all updated, and they all still have that scrolling ficker and tear thing on both my pcs.. ive done all the tricks and fixes and even the fps mod for them with no luck.. I just can't unsee it, and it drives me bannanas 😢
I'm surprised you didn't fight Shinryu since Blue Mage kind of has the best shot of doing it. Dark Spark does work... lol (at your level it would be around ~9%)
I wanna see that berserker only run
Dancer > Red Mage > Berserker.
Blue mage ftw
I believe Archaeoavis is vulnerable to 1000 Needles.
Yeah but I can't use it because lamia's wont cast it without control.
@@BacklogBuster Oooh, dang, that really stinks.
I used a guide for blue magic my first playthrough. Spells are crazy broken.
watching this series inspired me to do solo job runs too
just finished my all ranger run
got any tips for editing?
My workflow is
1. Beat the Game
2. Rewatch my Footage while writing the first draft of the script
3. Go over the script llike 4 times
4. Record VO
5. Cut VO while inserting any memes/graphics i want
6. Align footage that syncs up with what I'm talkling about
7. Final check and render.
@@BacklogBuster what editing sofrtware do you use? i just started messing around with openshot video editor
I swear this video was already uploaded at some point previously.
Like i know that you'll use beastmaster to be able to actually get spells despite the fact that i am typing this before watching the video
I definitely edited it and rendered it for the first and last time today, so thats just some kinda coincidence.
@@BacklogBuster i guess youtube must've hit me with another blue mage only video after i watched the monk one
Can you play through a SaGa game with only martial arts? Id say Monstrel Song is the gane where Fists only isnt broken, but also not impossible
I still wish they toned down rods. Breaking for ara magic was a good rebalance in FF 6.
I saw someone else do a blue mage only of this and they were able to get white wind and mighty guard. Not sure how.
I mean, its *very* easy to lie on a youtube video. You just cut around the parts where you get control and use it to learn the spell. I could've easily edited this video to make it look like my dancing dagger-tempting tango strategy worked. I believe in trying to be as honest as possible though so I'll tell the truth even if its not my desired outcome.
@@BacklogBuster yeah. I thought your run was fine, even with the slight deviation. I am very excited for some of the jobs past the wind crystal.
I love blue mage so I might've seen that video too. If it's what I was thinking, I think they were upfront about leveling up Beastmaster on one character just to learn control and then continuing with the challenge with them all as Blue Mage after learning that skill, since it's the *only* way to get very specific skills
@mindlessmeat4055 PC version of Pixel Remaster before January 2024 patch (that added gil/exp boost, pixel font, etc.) had a lot bugs. One of the bug was confused enemies would always cast Blue spells on themself. Said quirk works on other versions of the game.
But even on the PS1/GBA version I NEVER had the White Wind enemies that can use it use it on your party members I had them NEVER use it even on ITSELF and even the Stingray will NEVER use Mighty guard IF you confuse it and its the only non boss that can use it learning it off of Shinryu is OUT of the question since good luck surviving that fight and even then you would need to cast REFLECT on the boss TO learn it.
I wonder if blacklog will make a extra run with freelancer, where they can only equip abilitys from theirs respective crystal.
Would be a nice run and bonus this make sense to me beacuse galuf need re learn his skill after Earth crystal was shattered because in this very moment he recover his memory as a former earth crystal warrior and the others are the news members that learn new skill as soon they get some pieces from wind, water and fire crystals😂
Edit: grammar . Sorry im brazillian and dont write in others idiom with frequency .
Edit2: and krille recivie everything immediately because..... nepotism. Bartzs father hate the monarchy and that why he wanted bartz to follow the wind😂😂😂
Sad that PR nerfed the hell out of confuse so you can't get certain enemy spells. At least as an alternative for healing you could use Flamethrower with a Flame Shield + Flame Rod.
#DeathByMath
About that I prefer FLAME rings for healing blue mages you can't really EASILY GET 4x Flame shield USERS.
Oh boi time to watch the most broken job in ff5.
I don’t mean this in a negative way, but you have a voice for ASMR. Your mic / production are so soothing I fell asleep to this but woke up and subbed. This isn’t a /s. I subbed because I’d love more chill challenge strat videos to fall asleep to. Could be a blessing in disguise
Never write off blue mages cause I thought they suck just that I'm too lazy to do the research lol
YES BUT THE BEST way to heal can't be done NO monster uses White Wind on your OWN party so theirs really no way to learn it and the Vampire/Red Feast Blue Magic SUCKS since its SINGLE target and won't WORK on Undead enemies.
Gonna throw this out here, since I've seen like 3-4 of these now.
Not sure why you didn't run a mod to have the job you want/need the WHOLE run.
Since Freelancer is the only one that can see the whole game naturally.
The answer is simple man, I didnt want to run a mod.
Using Beastmaster/Control to fill out the blue mage list is not cheating on a blue mage challenge.
I know you can say that you could have easily beat the game before going for control, and I'm sure you could, but I gotta say it probably would have been more interesting to see your experience with Neo-Exdeath without Mighty Guard and White Wind.
Runs are kinda dumb when you can just use elemental rods when you hit a wall to be honest
Welcome to FF5. Take it up with Squaresoft.
But their ONLY BUYABLE in World 1 so you'd need to buy 99 Fire Ice Bolt rods BEFORE starting world 2 and BUY 4x Flame rings in order to attack your blue mages with Flame rods IE you can't LEARN WHITE wind in a 4x BLUE MAGE run the enemies that use it NEVER use it on your OWN party members ever and Mighty Guard either requires control to learn it off of the Stingrays OR CAST reflect on the FEW bosses that can use it NOT SHINRYU NEVER learn Mighty Guard against IT.
FF6 is the same the Fire Ice Bolt rods are NOT buyable during the 2nd half of the game only the Holy and Poison rods are but in FF6 the poison rods are pure CRAP.
That's the beauty of FF5, deal with it
