Nah, unless you just get a particularly challenging job combination it's not very hard. Just don't do natural or classic and you should be good. Random, 750, and No750 are more "different" than they are "challenging" compared to a normal run, but it doesn't hurt to start with a normal one of course.
First time I played the game was during a Fiesta a few years ago. Just roll with it and ask lots of questions in this thread.
In fact, it's arguably easier with a decent job combination, because through those restrictions you are able to best exploit the jobs you are using. You'll be able to level them up and get the best abilities more easily and quickly than if you are using a dozen different jobs.
This is exactly my first run. If I pull a Dancer it will be a repeat except this time it will be a Natural run. Woo.
Ugh. 4th year of 6 with Blue Mage. Don't really fault Berserker because some of those are due to risk, but still.

So now I've got White Mage, Time Mage, and Ranger. I think I'll cry if I don't end up with a Samurai or Dragoon at this point.
Aight will do, now I'll have to buy the game on my phone though
I'll probably go Random.
Your team is already completely broken, and can take down both Omega and Shinryu with ease.
You kidding? I'd LOVE three berserkers. There is a huge amount of planning that goes along with it.

Alright, changed my mind. Going to start my run and work on it while I'm on vacation. Will do it on my PSP instead of the GBA though so I can still take screenshots and not need a camera, and because my GBA is an original junk model.
First good thing about Monk: They're cheap to maintain.

Ditto. If I'm going to have berserkers, I want to be swimming in them.
Finished!
This party was better than I thought at first. My MVP was Dragoon, thanks to him I could survive several Almagests and kill Neo Exdeath. Not bad for the worst Earth Crystal job, that should tell everyone how good those four jobs are.
The only problem was Omniscient, which I couldn't beat. That monster recovered too much life between silences.

Broken how? I've never really played around with archers or time mages before.
Berserker wants: Dual Wield, Two-Hand, Artful Dodger, Equip Ribbon, Counter/HP+30%/Barefisted, Equip Harps (Yes, I said Equip Harps), Equip Katana.
Roughly in that order. You get one of those and you're cooking with gas. You have multiple ones from those choices then go roughly in order. There are a few other ones that are good situationally like Equip Whips because whips are grand, white for out of battle healing,
Time Mages get some awesome spells, namely of the Haste, Quick, Float, Gravity, Slow, and Comet/Meteor varieties.
Rangers get an instant-death bow in World 2, and they also learn Rapid Fire, which allows a character to attack 4 times at half power at random. When mixed with another physical class it can be ridiculous.

Second good thing about Monk: They are hilariously strong early on. Forza who? Can't say I know him.
Just be careful with Garula. The two attacks by the Monk get countered by Garula...each.

This is my fourth rodeo with Monks, that is one of the worst fights in the game for them.
Just beat it though. Was ugly, I basically lay it on him on the first round with Focus then spend most of the rest of the fight throwing potions and hitting him off counters so I don't get countered, maybe throw another Focus in if my HP is up for it. Had some bad luck with criticals (i.e., I got none) and bad luck on his counters (he countered more or less every time).
My berserker last year loved having Equip Whips. Any agility boost is a great one for Berserker. Of course Dragoon and Blue Mage didn't really offer much of anything useful anyway.
!Focus cuts the counterattacks in half without reducing damage at all.

So I ended up with Black Mage/Summoner/Beast Master/Chemist. I have no idea wtf I'm doing.
Oh, I know - it can just be overwhelming if all four of his counters hit the same person.

Beastmaster and Chemist are two classes you definitely need to do some research on in order to fully appreciate.

Just beat Siren in a few seconds thanks to 4 Two-Handed attacks. Time to move on!

Another first time Fiesta-er here. Just drew Blue Mage for my first job on a Random +Risk run. I'm excited! I haven't played this game in years, but I loved it. Wish me luck!
So I can still register for this? I make a Twitter account, tweet #reg to this robot, and that basically registers me? I've never used Twitter so am not clear. I've also not played this game in fifteen years, where upon I died against exdeath lol so it would be fun to try it again.
That's some Man God style leveling up, I love it Maggle! I got knight in my Natural run and still don't have Two Handed because I'm rushing to get two games with all classes unlocked.

Can't decide if I want to buy the ios version to play at work during my hour lunches, or just play it at home on my gba version (via gc/gba adaptor)

You don't need luck, man, you just won.
Playing the GBA version? If so Vampire is going to break the game wide open for you.

Next job: Time Mage. =/
Eh, at least it isn't Bearserker
Eh, at least it isn't Bearserker
This asshole made me waste like 10 Hi-Potions, fuck him. :<
On other hand, my Thief collected quite a bounty in the castle, check these elixirs.
Fire Job: Ranger! No idea what to expect.
Yeah ahah, I got BLU two times last year and It basically trivialize most of the game, even the most useless job becomes awesome if you give it Blue Magics.
Substitute Thief for Black mage and that's my first Fiesta team. It was an awesome team.
My suggestion? Experiment with every possible Chemist combination. Don't save of course, you'll want to keep the rare items. However, seeing what Mix can do with your own eyes will really transform how you play the class. There isn't a problem in the game that Mix can't solve. Beastmaster is similar. Just use Catch on every monster you can, and find out what various monsters can do. You can get great physical attacks or even full-party healing out of the deal.
There is actually some really great synergy on that team, you just need to experiment with it a bit. I suggest trying Equip Whip on a Black Mage or Summoner. The results may surprise you.

My final party is:
Knight/Berserker/Monk/Berserker.
Someone end me.
Knight/Berserker/Monk/Berserker.
Someone end me.
I would kill for a time mage at this point.

I made that post before I saw your tweet, LOL
Depends. If you're just doing a "Non-Natural" run, then you have to make them all Thieves. If you're doing a Natural run, then Butz is the Thief and the rest are Bare.

Unless you're doing a Natural run, that means all 4 characters have to be Thieves.
Join me in poorly-synergized goodness!
Congratulations. Red Mage has the ability to appear when you need it the least, but getting a job for the first time is always a good thing.
I'm still waiting for my Mystic Knight, where are they? And the White Mage is just as evasive.
Knight, Berserker, Red Mage. A much better team without Natural, but this is still doable. I've got a good source of protect, a way to heal, I can break rods when things get dicey. I'm just glad this is done.
Now only Blue Mage remains. I am going to keep going until I get a Blue Mage this year. After my first five runs I will go nothing but 750 runs until I get one.

I got Ninja. I was hoping I'd get a new class, but I can't complain too much with all this damage.
