Has anyone tried a 4 white mage party for FF-1?

[Black Mage FF1]

Yes many people have completed 4 white mages on every version of FF1. It is not really that hard. If you want a challenge do a solo thief no class change or a solo Black Mage No class change.

I thought solo monk no class change was the hardest.

Solo Black Mage no class change is the hardest for the following reasons.

1. No healing spells, so you guzzle potions
2. Poor attack
3. Poor Defense
4. Poor HP (until lv. 90+)
5. Equipment selection is much smaller

Overall, they just that bad without the class change. For elemental spells do little later in the game, and status effects are obsolete after a while. Without Saber or Flare, they're useless.

I dont know about the Dos version but on the NES and Origins version the solo thief is much harder. Although the Bm has lower hp and attack, he still has magic spells to kill groups of enemies in 1 turn, unlike the thief. His defense is just as good as the thiefs at the end too.
Oh and the solo Black Belt isnt hard at all. It is actually one of the easiest solo games you can do.

Pray tell what exactly the difference is between a monk solo and a master solo game? :joey:

Black belts (or monk for you DoS people) get better after class change when they become Masters, as do all classes. I believe their attributes grow at a different rate, so it's harder not having a class change.
And the hardest is a solo Thief, I hate the thief even in a group cause he does nothng special til class change, and with no class change, yeah he sucks. But I've done it, NES version.

How so? On the NES and Origins version the only difference between a Master and Black Belt was that the Black Belts got +4 Magic Defense while the Master only got +1.
