I put an NES emulator on my mobile phone a few months back and recently beat the original FF1(again) so i think im still remembering how hard that one is.>>

Oh I got it yesterday too! Highfive! Alright! I chose the default jobs so I didn't really notice anything. This is also my first time playing the first FF.

so difficulty about the same as DoS/origins? No multiple difficulties.

To answer your question, at every level up it is randomized how your stats increase, at least it was in the original NES FF. I know one strategy was to save state before a level up and reset until you get the best stats. if repeated enough times, your characters get REALLY good.

I believe the original formula(first learned it from reading on here, or in a walkthrough.. maybe it was Unne's or someone else), goes like this:

On level up:
Increase HP 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6
Increase each stat by 0-1 individually
*If* this is a HP level, increase HP another 25


In Theory you could get a "HP" level with 31hp, and all stats + 1
or you could get a regular level with 1hp and no stats.

Spell charges were fixed amounts though... and a lvl 3 BM should have the same as any other lvl 3 BM. They seem to have changed that in the new versions though.
