I'm starting a new game of FFIII on NES. Anybody got any good suggestions for a party to start with. Please not, I MUST have at least one Monk.

Fighter, Monk, Red Mage, White Mage. Works just dandy for me, and I don't have to change anybody's class until I get the Knight and Thief.

I go monk monk monk monk, but then again I'm obsessed with hp progression, so you probably should ignore me.

Fighter, Monk, White Mage, Red Mage is a good and balanced party, and you'll have 3 attackers and 2 healers in the beginning. Red Mage's Wight Slayer is also very useful against the undead in early spoiler: Jinn's cave. However, as you progress further in the game, Red Mage becomes less useful all the time. When that happen, you should change him into a Black Mage. I usually change Red Mage to Black Mage around the times when you have to go through dungeons wearing the Mini status since you'll really need attack magic on those parts.

Heh....heh..... well tho the NES does not have monk(monk in NES is Black belt)i have fighter,fighter,theif,and Black belt.

You are thinking of the wrong game. FFIII NES does have a Monk, and they are pretty good.
For your party, it depends on how you like to play your game. I usually use two fighters, BM, WM.

Sucks that you can't get it on PlayStation. Our overseas neighbors have all the luck.
