Oh, and the two dead people make great weapon and armor storage for those magic casting items.

THE JACKAL

thats accualy a good party (applaudes)

Fighter, two different kind of mages (most of the times, one of them is a Red Mage. After class change, they are teh pwnz. I don't need any stinkin' Flare/Holy to own all) and a Thief. I plan on kicking Fighter/Thief to put a Monk; I've never really used one.

I used 2 fighters and 2 red mages. If anyone has beat it at a lower level using a different party let me know. Although I dont think it is possible. I have gotton to chaos at level 12 only one time and it was impossible to beat him at that level but again i was using 2 fighters and 2 red mages. You need the fast spell. Now on the new game for gba it is impossible to do it at such levels so I will try different combinations and see what is the best team to use for that as well. I did reach lich at level 7 but it was impossible to beat him my hits did no damage and his wiped me out with one or two hits. I managed to get to tiamat at level 18 but again it was a waste of time trying to beat him. Levels go up way to fast in this one and the each level up doesnt really add all that much to the stats. So far I am thinking that the red mage may not be all that great in this one.

Yeah man!! I was at this one party where Fighter got drunk from too much potions which I don't understand because he should have like maximum defense, so he started flipping coins with his head, and then black mage was doing fake circus tricks, like blowing fire out of his mouth to impress white mage while she was out looking for some tea at a beer party and the black belt was doing tumbo rolls back and forth around the floor until he puked. Then came Thief who playing darts with knives and accidently stabbed Red mage, but red mage was like laughing and stuff. So it was kind of awkward...

What are your favorite parties to use for FF1?
I like to use 4 black belts because I'm a masochist.

Black Belt, Black Belt, Black Belt, Black Belt



Strong Points: Good offense, cheap
Weak Points: Lack of defensive strength, lack of magic, incredibly un-fun, ugliness of the Black Belts, smelliness of the Black Belts, worthlessness of the Black Belts
Rating:
-43/10

(Yes, I've finally been worn down by the COUNTLESS emails from disgruntled Black Belt lovers. I think I've gotten over 100 emails so far (no, I'm not exaggerating) So I've changed my -43/10 rating to something a bit higher.)

7-4-02 Changed my mind... back to -43 it goes.

If you like Black Belts I guess this is an OK party. It is cheap, I give it that. You'll need that money for the thousands of gallons of heal potions you'll go through during this game. Also plan to become a regular at the local Clinic. You'll be able to fight OK though, once you get to Elfland and you can start using your fists; before then, you just have to pray. But for the whole game, the BBs' defense sucks, big time. BBs have no magic, so they can't heal themselves, and they also can't use magic to kill large groups of enemies, and they can't run as well as thieves; in other words, you get to stand around and look dumb while monsters use your party for target practice. So be prepared to drag a couple corpses around with you 90% of the game. If by some chance you manage to make it to class change with this party, well, you get a huge reward of NOTHING, because BBs don't get anything from class change. But on the bright side, your sprite becomes uglier. Wait... sorry, that's not a bright side. There is no bright side to this party. You'll probably find that you depsperately need the magic-casting items you get later in the game, but those don't make up for the pitiful lack of magic in this party. I think I'd rather take a party of four elderly groundhogs than take a party of four BB's, to be honest.

PS: I DO NOT OWN THAT SITE.
I used fighter, white mage, black mage and a thief.

Having two healers in a bad spot is a good thing and a little magic here and there is great. Black Mages are okay if playing an easy version of the game where you get more MP but in the original it's better to take a red mage who has a decent attack score, too. Black Belt is cheap to maintain and after he hits level 15, strip him of his stuff and cast FAST on him. Yeah.
