Jeez, its like we all depend on our lovable, 1 INT character! I know i do, my Fi/Th/Wm/Bm would be far weaker without him (Its also quite prominent when he gets rubbed and I have to fight) He's nigh-invisible (Other than spells he never takes more than 20 damage,and out of his 400+ hp gauge (I'm level 20 or so) tis hardly a fleshwound.) And he also squashes stuff REALLY easily...

I'm gonna try some fighter-less party right after I finish this one, thats for sure, hopefully it will give a better challenge, maybe something like Rm/BB/Wm/Bm or something?

I don't know if it would be that much difficult than it is with your actual party. If you really want a challange with a less fighter party, try the one you already got, but kill the fighter at the very begining of the game. That would make the game a little bit harder.

I'm playing Thief/White Mage/Black Belt/Black Belt right now - my "unpopular party". I can tell you, it is the first time I try it without everyone's favourite sword-lover, and it is a challenge. No armour, so I have to put the Thief in the front row (has slightly more HP than the others at the start) and cast Invis on him in almost every battle. Of course, the lack of shiny swords is also a problem. The Thief is a runner, not a fighter. The White Mage doesn't like to hurt anyone, and the Black Belts are just starting to do any damage now, on level 9 and 10. I started exploring the Marsh Cave, but had to turn back after two floors because I ran out of spells (and Thiefs).
On the other hand, this party will probably get very strong after class change, if they survive that long. I can't even survive near Pravoka Fingertip at my current level - Giants squash me like bugs.

I've played RM/RM/WM/BM before. It was rather easy though, nothing like some of the ones here you guys have been proposing.

Fighter's are necessary for a really good party, because they won't lose that much HP!
I've beaten the game with a RW, BW, BW, WW party!
This was fun, and after I reached Pravoka, it was pretty easy!(Ice Cave was hard indeed, but Lit2 burns everything(Wizards!!!)

TWO BB's?! Wow, either someone likes martial arts or they like to smash things good! Maybe 2 bb's can replace a fighter though...still they take a lot of damage..

Try RM/RM/BB/TH.

I dont like red mages that much...actually not much at all...and all that magic/swords/armor would be dreadful to buy.
