Didn't even know that was possible. True, that would make a single party more playable, but I wouldn't know how to use it. Getting emulators to run on my computer is challenging enough.
Have you actually beaten the game with a single party, Dragonfire?

[Dragonfire]

only a single fighter party

LOL!

Well, i'll try out the BB once I find the ROM for FF1 on WSC, I have the patch, the patcher, the emulator ALL I NEED IS THE GOD FORSAKEN ROM! ARGGGGGGGGGH.

Last time through the game, actually, I used BB/BB/WM/BM. It was really, really easy.

[Nemesis the Warlock]

It is getting very easy. My four fearless vampire killers just beat that bloodsucker last night, on level 14. It's amazing - I don't miss armour anymore. The Black Belts both have extremely high defense now (I forgot the number, but it's ridiculous). In order to make the game more challenging, I am keeping one of the Black Belts fully equipped, with cap, gloves, silver bracelet and power staff. Don't ask me why, I just thought one of them should be weaker than the other, dunno. Right now, he does less damage than the Thief with the rune sword. Still, the vampire dropped after two or three turns, and the White Mage hadn't even used Harm on him.
Another good thing about my "unpopular party" - they are stinking rich now.


Edit: This party is invincible after class change. I just beat up Warmech on level 28, and wasn't prepared at all, as I had just fought Tiamat, hadn't healed afterwards and was short of spells. The White Wizard managed to keep everyone alive until the Ninja had cast Fast on both Black Belts. Warmech never knew what hit it. I almost yelled "Kamehameha!" at the screen.

I've always had a fighter as a "wall" the class on the front road taking 90% of the damage and he keeps it low aswell. I guess playing without a fighter will prove a worthy challenge that I will try and use the next time around when I play the game.

edit: If I could mange to stay alive until the class upgrade; a Ninja could take the "wall" spot, surviving up to this point is another issue.

lvl 22 for astos
lvl 26 for lich
lvl 29 for kary
lvl 33 for kraken
lvl 35 for tiamat
lvl 38 for CHAOS (thank god for the giants glove!!!)


anyway if you want a really good fighter less party then you should use a Thief/Red Mage/White and Black.

My latest party is pretty interesting and 100 ´% fighterless, yay. The new front line blocker is my Thief (not a Ninja as of yet) Two BBs to kick ass and a Red Mage to heal and boost. DOn't know how this is going to turn out yet since I've only gotten to 3rd town.
