I never said you need him at lvl 35 in order for him to be good. I said that he is the strongest character at lvl 35 and up. He becomes a good character around lvl 6. At lvl 15-up he becomes a great character.

Umm whatever dude. For one thing I can question whoever I want. Second thing, Dr. Unne is not the only one who knows a lot about FF1. There are other players like myself who know just as much or more. Have you ever been to the gamefaqs.com message board? Those people there know so much on FF1 its not even funny. They are the ones who figured out about magic defense and other very in depth stuff. Im not saying Unne is not knowledgeable. I am saying that it is possible that people can know more/just as much as he does.

Check out this FAQ to find out what I mean....

Bad luck for us. At least we know how to spell, and when to use capital letters.

LOL

Wow, this thread is rather old.

Hmmmmmm... I dunno, I think it's possible that a BB might actually take out a BM..... But a Master taking out a BW? Probably not. Flare is like being hit with a Mack truck full of pain and kittens. If the pain doesn't get ya, the kittens will....

I didn't think the Black Belt was all that bad. I'm not obsessive over my games, so I don't know things exactly, but I remember being satisfied with his and my Fighter's power, and being super pissed at Thief for being a pansy. I don't know what level I was at when my Master grew stronger than my Knight (maybe he didn't?), but I don't think it was high. Even if he was a little weaker than a Fighter, it's really boring to get two of the same classes.

But the Black Mage does suck. During the extended dungeon excursions and whatnot, he needs to save his magic, so he hits for insignificant damage. I think it's better to have a guy who can kill things all the time, with his FISTS no less, than a guy who can obliterate a few things, but is then useless. Even the Red Mage can kill things with some ability when he runs out of ass-kickin' magic. And the White Mage is useful only if you can't kill things fast enough, and with a Fighter, Black Belt, and Red Mage in the party, when is that a problem? Potions are sufficient, anyhow.

sorry but BB suck

It doesnt matter how much M.defense or damage you can deal out if A Boss decides to smack your BB around and your RM ran out of magic casting offensive/defensive spells. having all the OK magic and half the spell points makes the RM sucky so matching your BB with your RM is just realy realy sad.

You have the Red Mage so you don't need to use magic except on the bosses, because he can kill things just fine without it. And you only need to put the essentials like Life, Cure, Haste, and the elemental spells on the Red Mage; the rest is just, well, novelty.

Sure, Black Belts get smacked up more often, but, uh...they're fun.
