I'm wondering what everyone's favorite FF1 (NES) shortcuts are, the sort of things that you do to make the game quicker or easier. No hacks, please.

These are my two:
1. Leveling up at the well-known 2x2 "finger point." If you have a strong attacking team or a couple of Fir2 or Hrm2 and bunch of TENTs, this makes the early leveling-up a breeze. Before I found out about this I would spend hours fighting OGREs. No thanks.

2. After defeating Lich and getting the canoe, I like to next go to the Castle of Ordeals. There's a ton of stuff there useful for parties of all levels including: Heal Staff, Zeus Gauntlet, Gold bracelet, and the Ice Sword.

I'd say my favourite is getting the airship before getting the Fire Crystal. And then get everything that comes along with the airship (spells, class change, etc).

its also fun to go all the way through the Mirage Tower and Floating Fortress before going after the Fire Crystal.

Getting the airship and killing all the last 3 fiends with an overpowered party:)

Must admit that I've never done that. I'm really boring and haven't really done much sequence breaking in games except in stuff like Metroid. I'll have to try that for myself next time.

See the thread I made about black belts saving the world to find out exactly what I do.
