your party doesn't really matter you can win with anything from 4 fighters/knights or 1 white mage. It's been done with 1 white mage or 1 theif on the NES. I've done the white mage one myself. It's extremely easy to pull off on the newer FF1 games (WSC/PSX-origins/GBA)

no joke? wow, and i was actually thinking of getting it since it was gonna be one my fav FF games w/ all it's difficult glory still left intact... I guess gamers are getting soft. I remember when you could buy a game and play for ever and not get anywhere not because you didn't want to but because it was simply that difficult. Mario was a pushover!! Will somebody please make another game that is actually hard to beat? Like the original final fantasy... or the first metroid... would be nice ^_^ I beat FF1 w/ a Fighter Ninja Blackbelt and a White Mage and then went through again w/ 2 fighters a black and a white mage *can't go w/o the white mage, lol* I also beat it once w/ a team of blackbelts simply because someone challenged me to do it. I cried. It was so sad to lug around a corpse after ever three battles.

I miss all the old, good challanging games... where did they go?

I feel at home listening to all you kupo people complaining about how soft game difficulty has become... I suppose we are all old gamers (say 18 up) who lived through the glory of Nes and before. I blame it on young gamers who are lazy bastards that lack passion for challenges and for the game developers that aim to sell more by making games more accesible to all kinds of players, including lame ones (i mean, mayority of gamers)! Old school gamers, join and arise!!! KUPPO!!

You can't just live in the past. If games have changed, games have changed. I love FFI for the NES (cartride, NOT ROM!), I also like FFX a lot. Things change, you can't control that.

As far as my mastery of FFI, I don't find it all that impressive. Chaos is hardly the most challenging boss. Dragon Lord is much harder.

The team I used was a Warrior/Knight-RMage/RWizard-BMage/BWizard-WMage/WWizard. This, in my opinion, is the best party. Have the Warrior and RM in the front two tiers dealing hell with swords, WM in the 3rd tier healing and the occasional Holy, and BM in the back dealing death from above. Although now that I beat it, I'm doing the New Game+-like thing with a Thief instead of a RM. I'd like to see how that works out.

i beat the game with a 4 black mage team on the old nes so i did not have all the easy level gains and items and belive me its hard!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, since this thread is about FFI: DOS, not FFI NES, I'll focus on that.

So far I've beaten the game with the following parties:
Knight/Ninja/White Mage/Black Mage.
Knight/Master/Red Mage/Black Mage.
Ninja/White Mage/Black Mage/Black Mage.
Currently playing:
Warrior/Red Mage/White Mage/Black Mage.
Red Mage/Red Mage/Black Mage/White Mage.

I must say, I still don't like teh Monk/Master of Red Mage/Wizard. The Master's defense is really quite sad, and he was the only person who died in my game (He died about 10 times). Also, since INT now affects the damage of spells, my Black Mage and White Mage are consistently doing more damage/recovering more health than the Red Mage. His attack is also lower then the Warriors, so I don't see the point of taking one except to try every party. There, that should be it.
