EXCUSE ME?? │ Final Fantasy IV Free Enterprise Randomizer Part 3

[@kirby5790]

Reminder that there were a few shops selling hammers for Cid, to get him off bows. As for speeding up XP gain, it's doubled after finding 10 Key Items. Dark Knight Cecil has exactly 3 different swords, and he started with his best one. Dark Elf was indeed scripted; that's what happens if you try to fight him without the Twin Harp.

[@brandondobmeyer9398]

Yes, Please go get Cid a hammer. ANY hammer. He could help carry quite a bit of the overworld start game areas

[@Xarestrill]

A few bits from my playthrough and how to get to that chest at the end.. 1. You're wildly off in the exp bonus you mentioned. For most of the game the exp gain is normal. Once you have a full party any member who's level is 5 or more below the median of the party gets x2 exp until they catch up. Once you have 10 key items the exp you get is x2. 2. Don't be afraid to grind, this isn't a speedrun. Go somewhere you can handle the enemies and fight them for a few levels, if necessary move to a higher level area and do some more. Better to spend a bit of time making progress than a lot of time failing against bosses. You're level 11-20 with almost no gear, of course the bosses are kicking your butt. 3. As a randomizer, do your checks. Go to areas where you'd get new party members, key items, and loot. More party members gives you more choices (and yes you can change party members in Mysida, specifically the crystal room and prayer room beyond it). Key items unlock new options, and loot will get you the gear you need to make your characters useful (and you may find some key items in chests). 4. Seek out the shops. You don't have much money now, but knowing where to find thing when you have money or need to buy something will save you time later. Also you're only going to need a couple of sets of gear (at most) for each character, so don't be afraid to sell the lower tier stuff to get some cash. Also go ahead and sell the cursed ring, they're mainly used to manipulate your party's speed. You keep going into an area, grabbing the stuff, dying to the boss and not coming back, so you're leaving all that gear behind when you could be holding on to the best bits for when you get more party members and selling the rest to buy what you need. Don't forget you've got the big airship, it has free beds and a fat chocoboo in it. You can't beat the magnetic cave boss until you find the twin harp key item (speaking of which, go to Toria castle and see Edward for a key item check). You could go to the moon, but the enemies there will kick your rear. Holding Y while in the airship will move slower so you can grab the hovercraft (or land) easier. Also yes Dark Knight has 2 sets of gear, but the chests usually give higher tier loot, so you'll only find them randomly in stores. To get to the left tower chest in Eblan there's a secret passage one space above the door (go through the right wall).

[@Dragoonnight]

I think my favorite part of this series so far is Jared shock everytime he gets to a boss and goes “maybe we can-“ and then he looks in horror as an endgame boss appears🤣

[@miho022883]

You could... you know... TURN ENCOUNTERS BACK ON AND GRIND. Never change Jared 😊

[@kazekamiha]

That's too obvious. Also the right idea.

[@christophersholes1377]

Right? How is he going to beat any of the harder bosses if he doesn't get levels? Also, random encounters are like 50% of Final Fantasy. Feels a bit like an empty walking simulator without them.

[@gurvmlk]

I think the idea is that if he was going to grind, he'd rather try to do it in later dungeons that give better experience. Whereas he'd rather just skip the battles in a lot of the earlier dungeons, because the experience points just aren't all that worthwhile when there exists other options.

[@DarthLocutus0]

I'm pretty sure that what happened with the Dark Elf is the fail state for going into Lodestone Cavern and trying to fight it without the Twin Harp for Edward to save you with.

[@chad3166]

Or the whisperweed

[@PaladinDusty]

That's exactly what it is. It happens in the normal game too.

[@bobosmith101]

Yup.

[@veghesther3204]

Correct but even a RANDO STILL requires it so if Edward doesn't give you the twin harp then I'm not sure WHERE to find it.

[@Stonebrek]

​@@veghesther3204could be in the Baron inn. Could be in the ribbon room on the moon. That's what makes the randomizer so awesome.

[@EscoNitz]

Jared didn't save after completing the antlion cave and it hurt my soul so much so now he has to redo it and regrab everything. Also missed the middle door in castle eblan.

[@christophersholes1377]

I was saying "SAVE!" before he went into magnet cave. I had a bad feeling he would lose progress.

[@odintoast2018]

proj: god i love lv up mechanics also proj: fast clicks thru all of them

[@Stonebrek]

I've played FF2/4 (original and randomizer) a lot in my life, and I never knew how Dark Elf would wreck you without the Twinharp. Now I know he just punches you directly in the mouth. Lol.

[@nin10doadict]

By default in the rando, EXP gains are not split like in the vanilla game. Every living party member gets the full EXP, so a party of 5 will level up about 5 times faster than normal. If you get stuck, grinding for some levels shouldn't take too long. Also yeah forgetting the Whisperweed (TwinHarp) means the Dark Elf just decks you~ Left tower treasure in Eblan castle can be gotten through a passage right next to the door. There's three trap treasures in there, so you missed one more somewhere as well. A vase, perhaps.

[@FF2Guy]

“I don’t think there are items in the chocobo forest.” Every chocobo forest has a carrot item. You know, for summoning the Big Chocobo

[@joshb2907]

You're gonna have to grind. Not much way around it

[@kingjonny394]

Love the sprite work of these old games

[@kendrakirai]

He's saying he can't do stuff, but he could always just....level up. Like you do in the regular game.

[@DivaFan319]

Seriously, just grind for levels. He can even do so off screen, if he thinks that's too boring for us to watch.

[@riemaennchen]

Yeah by the point you reach Mt. Ordeal you are usually what? Mid 20s? And while the stats pre-Paladin Cecil are lower it would definitely be better then being level 10.

[@YuroStyle]

With Free Enterprise the need to grind really doesn't need to happen till you are ready for Z. If you only fight bosses in most low tier areas your levels should be more than enough. Almost every boss is exploited in some way in this mode. Otherwise the races would take too long. Cash he would just sell the gear that he wont be utilizing like extras. Find all the items that affect bosses like casting slow and stop on most work. When he needs levels you buy sirems/alarms and go into the underworld and fight eggs in the upper left corner area.

[@R0D3R1CKV10L3NC3]

@@YuroStyle yeah, but Jared - self admittedly - doesn't know FFIV very well compared to some of the other FF games, so likely also wouldn't be immediately aware of such exploits for the different bosses. Add onto that, the fact that he prefers to play these types of games with as little outside help as possible, so he would be unlikely to go looking for - or accept - tips on said exploits, outside of his own previously learned experiences of playing the game. For someone who tackles games the way that he does - and always has - I think that simply grinding up some levels, while continuing to check out other locations that he may not have checked out yet, would be a reasonable course of action to take, so as to hopefully be better prepared to tackle some of these fights when he comes back to them in the future.

[@gamermusiclover8883]

​@@YuroStyle I just played this for the first time the other day and only doing boss fights (and monsters in hidden chest), I was like level 68-69 by the time I got to the final boss

[@y2a1979]

"I'm getting destroyed by the Virus spell!" he says while having characters several levels lower than you'd normally be for most of the areas he's going. lol

[@guidojacobs2002]

It's a randomizer. Who is to say how leveled areas work? It's most likely that they've been scaled to the party.

[@y2a1979]

@@guidojacobs2002 That's fair. And he did say it's not a game he's super familiar with normally. I guess it's less about where he's tried, and more about not making any efforts to find easier areas to level up at all, so that maybe he'd survive the spells after gaining some HP.

[@DoughboyJonesmk2]

@@guidojacobs2002 The bosses are scaled to their location. Unfortunately, if they're using high level spells those are still going to wreck you.

[@KHitsuga]

Over here shit talking Edward so much he forgot that he needs the Twinharp to get Edward's help against the Dark Elf.

[@gurvmlk]

In his mind, he refuses to accept that there's ever a point in the game when Edward matters.

[@TransientWitch]

Ah, what a relief...Jared managed to catch the Dark Elf...And by that, of course, I mean he caught those hands!

[@justinthomas7222]

I forgot how much I love the music in this game...

[@lmj2k]

You have to have the Twinharp before you can properly engage the Dark Elf in Cave Magnes.

[@openmoose]

Jared: wow this is fun w/o the random fights. Jared: omg, I have no MUNY! I'm so under leveled I can't beat the bosses.

[@gregbrown6921]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@adamfigarsky5466]

As much as I want to keep watching this, I just... can't. This is more painful than normal, especially since I watch so much of the FE Twitch channel. Good luck Jerd!

[@gregbrown6921]

Yeah he usually plays at lower levels but rNdonizers are gonna kick your ass at lower levels

[@riemaennchen]

I think selling all the Paladin Cecil weapons that are worse then the Crystal Sword might be a good idea. Not gonna use them anyway.

[@penismightier9278]

Hell selling SOME items might be good. Has he sold anything?

[@jameshaggard5320]

First rule of all jrpgs grind baby grind

[@eldricliaz7305]

In this episode of "What random mid to end game boss is gonna wreck me"... Jared is def gonna have to level up a bit offscreen, maybe farm some funds for some better gear with every boss to progress being high end like this. Edit: Boy that Elf been hitting them weights, probably using the magnetism for more resistance to pump that iron.

[@CaptainTrevino]

He has the funds in his inventory that is full of endgame gear. A few minutes of battles in his current area would get him all the levels he needs. You can lead a Jerd to water but you can't make him drink.

[@retropunk24]

Jared: "This is normal" Dark Elf: "I'm about to end this man's career."

[@Seegtease]

Yes there items in the chocobo forests. 1 in every, but I think there are 3 in the black chocobo forest.

[@Mega_Mikey]

There are a number of tricks, exploits, and specific strategies to handle each boss at low levels. With the right items and a few more levels on your party, both those D Lunar and Golbez fights were very doable. Failing that, grind baby grind!

[@Tailstraw_xD]

That Cid guy was pretty cool even though his only job was "shoot arrow"

[@Blueflameraven17]

oh boy, another episode of running through an rpg without fighting battles and leveling up. so much fun

[@gregbrown6921]

Yeah i think cause he wants to chop these episodes up and doing random ebcounters will make the runtime longer but it is a puzzling way to approach an rpg

[@forestdragonwing7552]

In the left tower of Eblan Castle, you go right from the first door to reach the chest if I recall.

[@vtmarik]

It's a secret passage on the upper right

Welp, it's time to turn the random battles back on and grind, either on or offscreen, this ain't getting any easier.

[@chibiacer]

Narrator: It was not scripted 🤣

[@blankempathy]

Decided to do a run myself after starting this series. What I found helpful was to turn off encounters and grab all the chests/do the boss for an area if I could. Then walk to the exit with encounters on. This gave me enough xp to keep pace with the difficulty.

[@kyleward3914]

Bosses scale to be theoretically at the intended level for the area if I'm not mistaken. So the boss of the Antilion's Cave will be scaled to be similar in power to the antlion. In theory. Dark Elf needs the Twinharp to beat him, though.

[@ignatz20xx]

I do recommend that you turn back on random encounters.

[@Sprinkles_The_Husky]

I'm excited for this series! Keep up the laughs Jared.^^

Shut up Cecil.

Didn't that happen in the normal game? I thought you initially go in without the harp.

[@Anthip]

@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 Nah, normally you'd visit Troia first, speak with Edward, he gives you the harp, and then he'll play it halfway through the fight so you can actually use your normal equipment. That said, I've never actually tried bypassing it and just going straight for the cave. I wonder if you get 9999'd in that case.

[@joshb2907]

@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 you MUST talk to Edward in troia before the magnetic cave, at which point he gives you the twin harp, making the battle possible, but only after a scripted party defeat.

[@crystalwater505]

"How can I get past this fight to change Cecil into a Paladin?" Um, grind and level up?

[@apollolux]

Gonna probably have to redo the Antlion cave if you want that experience and that Legend sword since you lost it on KO.

[@gurvmlk]

Not only are you normally getting in random encounters throughout the dungeons to make them feel longer, you also don't normally have a dash function. Meaning you're walking half the speed you are here. Further making the dungeons normally feel longer than they actually are. Also, he should really be saving after exploring the dungeons for items, and before fighting the bosses.

[@rayshiotile9487]

if only Jared had a free inn he could visit. maybe one that looks like a whale?

[@penismightier9278]

One that also lets you store items at the Fat Chocobo. For free.

[@Razortail2000]

Left eblan tower last chest = turning right *inside* of the doorway wall. Also as for handling Golbez and maybe picking up Kain who can use most of that gear and help you pull Cecil back to the top of Ordeals, when you visited the Toroia item shop there was an expendable item there that could REALLY ease that encounter up for you, just need to be willing to vendor some of your loot and part with 3000gp per to save your dragoon. Waiting until you're strong enough to tank the Virus might take a really long time.

[@kevinwylie1263]

Love your playthrough buddy, just a couple tips without spoilers. The bosses scale based on the original boss at the location you fight them I believe, you really don’t need to grind. Sell all your junk, check every shop. Get Cid a real weapon! Preferably an axe! Also, Free character on the moon

[@zanderstigen]

Not Jared playing FF like a RL1 challenge

[@masontabalani1464]

Hey, Projared. It seems that you might need some help. I got some tips right here for you: Enemies like the ones you encounter at Eblan Castle, you might want to make use of the Hourglass and some of the items. The Hourglass lasts for a while and works on early enemies. Also, if power for each boss is randomized, two things: 1.) Areas that normally have really powerful enemies like the moon may have bosses that might possibly be a joke. 2.) Have you tried using a Phoenix Down on the Lunar Dragon bosses, since their power seems to be weak for late game bosses? And finally, I would recommend going to the cave of Eblan, Edge normally appears before the entrance of the Giant of Babil. This game is definitely going to have you do Trial and Error. Many deaths and few succession from the start. Make use of that save feature when being nearby bosses, so you can keep the loot and leave.

[@emikd]

Gotta have the Twin harp key item for Edward to be able to help during the Dark Elf fight. It does seem like the bosses are scaled to where they are supposed to be but I could be wrong. Just gonna have to do some level grinding.

[@jingo4754]

you are correct. the boss stats are scaled to the location they are in. however their move sets are still unchanged so there is a good chance of wipes just from that alone

[@xnightshadyx]

The boss stats seem to be scaled but they also still seem to know Lit-3 or whatever they normally have which will still stomp an underleveled Jared.

[@jamesmidnyte4791]

Looks like you're having a tough time there. Remember, you can sell unnecessary equipment. You can't fight Dark Elf without finding the Twin Harp first. You might be carrying useful combat items like BigBomb or Dancing Dagger. If you want some helpful voodoo that I'm not going to explain, put Dark Knight Cecil in the middle party slot and give him the Cursed Ring.

[@DrakonIL]

I'm excited for Jared to finish this and then try the Worlds Collide randomizer for FFVI.

[@agsdedluxferre2955]

It's funny it's this game despite not being it's first appearance that made dark knight so iconic in the FF job list but when you play this randomizer shows how much of a nothing sandwich dark knight really was. Suffers from being the plot device job rather than a full fledged job, wonder if that's why in 14 dark knight seems all over the place like the devs are unsure of how the job should look or what abilities it should have since there's so little to go off of unlike other jobs. Kinda neat seeing the game from this perspective.

[@SolstaceWinters]

Hiya! Back at it again, round 3! I have more advice for you, Jared. This time it might be more "mechanical understanding" than "suggestions", so take it for what you will. As always, I'll spoiler them below. Hope they help out, especially now that you are asking for them: OBSERVATIONS: 1. In Eblan, that chest in West Tower you couldn't reach? You need to be RIGHT next to the door leading outside, then head RIGHTWARD. There's a hidden path there. Eblan is filled with ninjas. Hidden paths everywhere. Ninja's suck. (But I do like Edge, though.). [EDIT-1] I guess I posted this prematurely. You left Eblan before you cleaned it out! You can enter the main throne room to find some more treasure chests. Look around for some secret walls around the room. There's 6 chests within the throne room's "area". Eblan's a treasure trove. It'd be the first place I went for loot if I played this. Anyway, back to the pre-edit comment. 2. I don't know much about this randomizer, but I'll parrot what people have said so it aids in getting seen. With Dark Elf, you apparently need the [Twin Harp] key item to prevent Not-Astos from clapping your cheeks. Yay! More checks! 3. I do strongly recommend you do some leveling up, On or Off screen. Your characters desperately need some levels. Generally the levels are the make-or-break of a character, because your equipment isn't a problem... you always have decent gear going into a situation... you don't have solid gear going into your problems, so you NEED those levels... and the money could help you get gear... which leads me into.... 4. You should really consider buying some better gear for folks. I've said it each time now, but maybe take stock of what shops sell what, and get some upgrades for characters. Cid can get a Wooden Hammer in Village of Mist, and I believe a Silver Hammer at Mythril (the town of mini-folk, pigs, frogs; where you hovered over and needed the Tail). If you can't get him a Silver Hammer, get him a Wooden one, beats him missing over and over with a bow. 5. This isn't anything majorly important, just a quicknotes for who is where: * Fusoya at Kaipo - needs Sandruby. * Kain at Mount Hobs - defeat [Mom Bomb] aka Golbez. * Rosa at Baron Inn - defeat [Yang] aka Cagnazzo. ----- Keep going, Jerd! I have faith, man. You just need that one foothold. My thought process would be to work towards getting Cecil usable. Turn him from a Decil to a Pecil, and you'll clean house.

[@kotlolish]

For Dark Elf, you need to have talked to Edward in a town, otherwise he just stomps you like he did just ago. This is a check that got me twice in a run. If you miss talking to edward... the elf will just 9999 delete you, talk to edward and the elf will be weakened by his song.

[@penismightier9278]

You need the Twinharp. It doesn't matter if you talk to Edward.

[@Tismosis]

Mount Ordeals is a great place to grind, but not with encounters turned off

[@TheSpooniestBard]

Ok first Thing I saw for the D. Lunar fight if you do no direct damage you do not start the Virus script things like Yang's Power and Rosa's Aim work well for this or using Wall on a party member and bouncing the spells off them. By doing this you stop reactionary scripts from going like said Virus script or even up to the final Zeromus fight's health refill. Next up for the Golbez fight if you go into that fight with a status condition like Pig or Mini the hold gas doesn't work because of how this game figures out how status conditions work. After that if one person uses a Starveil/Wall spell Golbez kills himself basically. As far as CPU is concerned for the higher level areas it is best to leave the attack orb and focus on CPU so it doesn't heal or use Globe199 which is one of the highest power abilities in the game an enemy can use. For the Magnetic Cave without the Twin Harp item it will just kill you outright. For that specific chest the way to it is in the hallway by the door of the tower. Yes you can multicast Cure1 its the left and right arrows when selecting a person. And my advice to you on where to next is Fabul or Baron Inn as that is a couple easier checks. Zot is unavailable as that requires the Earth Crystal to complete. With the items you have you can do all of the underground checks bar the final Tower check (not recommended veterans of FF4FE dislike hook route but it is doable). There is no checks available in the moon as that is turned off. You also have the Giant available but once again I advise caution that is one of the last dungeons of the game. And lastly the three Overworld checks you can do are Fabul, Baron Inn and Mt Ordeals. The selection isn't great but at this point its what you got. Finally if you wish to grind a few levels with your power level and what you have available to you I would say Lamias on Mt Ordeals is your best bet.

Jared. You beat the CPU boss by dealing about 600 damage to it. Yeah, I think the bosses are randomized or scaled to some extent.

[@mikal768]

They’re based on the area of the game they’re at, so fighting a boss at mist dragon spot gives it mist dragon esque stats. Also means if you have a magic heavy boss in a physical heavy “spot” then their magic is nerfed and vice versa, or someone who has a strong attack (looking at you DK Cecil) in certain areas is gonna wreck your shit

[@Shirodragoon]
