QUICK GUIDE TO DOING YOUR OWN CHALLENGE RUN Original OP by Mega64
As for my run, it's "Omniserker" because it's a Berserker that has access to all abilities, though as you may expect it'll mainly be the passive abilities that come in handy. Kyrosiris came up with the clever name and I stole it and ran with it.
As for why I'm using abilities? Because the whole point of Final Fantasy V is mixing and matching abilities. In the Four Job Fiesta Berserkers are welcomed because they can take advantage of so many wonderful abilities to be good (and because people are crazy). Also, a solo Berserker run is essentially impossible. Hell, I don't know if I'll even be able to complete this, but why not.
If you haven't played/seen FF5 before, I've already LPed it so that's probably a better starting point. Orange Fluffy Sheep also did a great LP where he does his trademark game-breaking. And of course Dr Pepper did a great low-level run LP that's also worth reading. And The Wu-Tang Secret did a very early LP that shows off some neat tricks as well.
As for stuff about Berserkers, here's Orange Fluffy Sheep's run with four berserkers. More related to my run is Sulla's Solo Berserker run, which broke his spirit and his mind. Recommended reading.

My art skills suck (This looked way better in my mind), but I decided to make a little victory image for whenever somebody finishes their run.
(Tiny because the image is a bit biggish)
The cape pulled over the torso! A cool-looking pose, or a lazy ploy to prevent Sordas from having to draw Mihnwu's torso and arm? You decide!

Secondly, I got Walker's victory screen finished and outta the way.
I didn't mean for Walker to look like a hippie when I set out, I swear that just happened.
I might have based his hair on what my hair looks like when I haven't showered for the past 24 hours.
As soon as I finished the bird, I realized that I could've made it a baby chocobo. Ah well...
