That's right EoFFers, it's February, which means it's probably horribly cold outside. So what better way to celebrate than by playing the game that started it all, Final Fantasy I, along with your fellow members of Eyes On?

To kick off our new Eyes On Plays event, we're going to be celebrating the original Final Fantasy from several different angles, and this thread will serve as the hub for the whole shebang. So check back frequently, as this post will continuously be updated with links to new parts of this event, such as art and graphic design contests.

Eyes on Plays Final Fantasy I: RP Edition (http://forums.eyesonff.com/role-playing-threads/114367-eyes-plays-final-fantasy-i-official-roleplay.html#post2414590)
It's a frenzied quest full of backstabbing, gil thieving, and mayhem. And it's run by Behold the Void, so you know it's quality, right?

Eyes on Plays Final Fantasy I: Graphical Design Contest (http://forums.eyesonff.com/graphic-design-forum/114397-february-ffi-graphic-design-competition.html)
Come spread your Final Fantasy I love with Rye and the rest of our talented graphics artists. Surely you can make something better than my banner, huh!?

Now, for the main event:

Eyes on Plays Final Fantasy I Rules
To participate in the February Final Fantasy event, there are a few restrictions.
When you begin the game, please post a digital camera picture or a screenshot in this thread of your game that has your party clearly visible on the screen. You MUST do this to be eligible for participation in the Challenges; we have to be able to see the names, classes, etc. of your party so we can compare it to your finishing party, and make sure you don't just stick in a memory card or load up a save state without putting in the effort.
That's right, you must also post a picture from the END of the game in this thread with your same party being displayed. This way we can confirm whether or not you met the criteria for any/all of the challenges: what level your party is, what class they are, etc.
You CAN play the game on an emulator, and you CAN give us a screenshot of that. Just don't go talking about where you got the rom, mmkay?
You can achieve as many challenges as you want, and yes, you will be able to show off your winnings in some manner once this event is over.
Challenges apply to specific versions of the game, due to the considerable variation in difficulty between each remake. Gold Star Challenges can be obtained for playing Final Fantasy on NES, Origins Hard Mode, or Wonderswan Color. Silver Star Challenges can be obtained for playing Final Fantasy on GBA, Origins Easy Mode, or PSP.

So, to reiterate: you must give us photo proof of your achievement for the challenges. We're not going to believe you beat the game with a Solo White Mage unless you can show us! We apologize if you can't give us proof, but we want to make it as fair as possible, competitively, for everyone involved. We hope you'll still play along even if you can't compete for the Challenges.

Remember, the goal of this event is not just competing. We want to stimulate discussion, create a fun atmosphere for playing the game, and get everybody participating.

Here's how you can really be awesome and help make this event as much fun as possible for everyone:


Don't just go to GameFAQs to find a walkthrough. If you get stuck, make a thread in the Final Fantasy I forum!
If you discover something noteworthy, make a thread in the Final Fantasy I forum.
If you're way better at Final Fantasy I than Psychotic, make a thread in the Final Fantasy I forum. See where we're going with this? Have fun with the game and stimulate discussion.
If you're using an emulator, don't use save states or play on super speed. We're not going to forbid this (it would be too hard to enforce, hence the lack of a time-based challenge) and we want everyone to participate, but it's more fun when everyone is on an even playing field.


Also, feel free to include yourself in a picture for lulz, if you are so inclined.

Now, on to the challenges. Dun-dun-dun!

Gold Star Challenges - NES, Origins Hard Mode, Wonderswan Color

Complete Final Fantasy
Complete Final Fantasy on a REAL NES
Complete Final Fantasy with all party members Level 45 or higher
Complete Final Fantasy with all party members Level 19 or lower
Complete Final Fantasy with a party of four same-class characters
Complete Final Fantasy without obtaining a class upgrade
Complete Final Fantasy with a solo party


Silver Star Challenges - GBA, Origins Easy Mode, PSP

Complete Final Fantasy
Complete Final Fantasy with all party members Level 90 or higher
Complete Final Fantasy with all party members Level 15 or lower
Complete Final Fantasy with a party of four same-class characters
Complete Final Fantasy without obtaining a class upgrade
Complete Final Fantasy with a solo party


Remember, if you have leet skillz and absolutely no life, you could get every single one of these challenges, but it would imply playing through the game quite a few times. And it's fine to achieve more than one on a single playthrough--obviously, the "Complete the game" challenge could go along with any other challenge, such as "Complete Final Fantasy with a party of four same-class characters."

Feel free to discuss the event, ask questions, and ramble inanely about your progress in Final Fantasy I in this thread starting RIGHT NOW.

xD Saddly not, I didn't notice it til I went to roam general which I tend to do after I've gone through all my most recent posts. Thank youuu~

I'm also going to change my party and make them all Red Mages, but the names will stay the same.

AND SO IT BEGINS.

Nah, Level 2 is fine. :P Obviously you didn't use a save file to jump forward one level.

As for Challenges, what you see is what you get unless there is massive universal clamoring for something we didn't think of.

If we're playing with a solo party, would the level 45/19 challenges also count? Or would the 45 not count because it's obviously easier to gain levels when only one character is getting the experience?

AS FOR RAMBLING INANELY! I'm not going to play too much tonight, but I'll get started. Definitely start up the game and equip my lone Fighter. Try to get my BBs killed.

Whole party for 45, although if you're doing the solo challenge and are under level 19, then wouldn't your whole party be under 19 since your other 3 would be level 1? I've not done a Solo party so I just assumed it would work that way :D

Augh no fair I still have to wait a few more hours. But just to get things started.
If you're saying you have to wait till it's officially Feb. 1 where you live, then you don't, cause now that the thread is up it's officially GO TIME for everyone.

White mages have a kind of insane amount of HP in the GBA version. Like, as much as black belts.

I'd be insane to try to get sub-19 for my first solo. Over 45 is much more likely. If I finish this solo run with (by my estimate) enough of February left I'll start a Fi/(RM or Th)/WM/BM game and try to get L50.

edit: Got Bikke's ship, then I had to restart because of stupid save slot erasing itself. I'm going to use save states from now on, but I'll only save on the world map and at save points if those even exist in this game. But yeah, now I'm back in Pravoka and Bikke's ship is once again mine. ;)

Kinda nice to finally meet Bikke/RSL. Too bad the sprite is not the same. I'm also looking forward to meeting Dr Unne and Meat Puppet's dancing girl thingie. Maybe I already met her, though.

edit2: kk, taking a break now. Just reached Elfheim, where something seems to be wrong with the prince. Party level: 11

If you're wondering about the names it's myself and the last three people to post in my User Notes, namely Rantzien, Evastio and Ultima Shads. See if you were as awesome as they are your names would be up there. Obviously I'm going for the Silver challenges, specifically completing, all Red Mages, all Level 90+ and I may go for the no-class change after I've had a look as to what weapons I can use if I don't change (if I can't use the Ice/Fire swords I'm buggered).

EDIT: Turns out you can so I should be alright. I just need a decent output damage until I get enough castable spell items.

I could care less about the challenges though, beating Pandemonium on FF II NES is challenge enough for me. :p

Though I think I'll start another GBA game just to get in the spirit of FFI and do some insane party combo I've never dreamed of doing.

Right. Ended up going with the DoS version in the end and because I'm crafty, named my characters after the original Warriors of Dawn from FFV:

Well this is weird. I decided to once more try one of the 6 (!) webcam capture programs I'd tried, just for the heck of it and, of course, it worked.

Two things I've come to hate so far, playing a solo game:

1) Wolf packs. They come in groups of 4-7, never stop attacking, are kind of hard to run away from, and give very little gold upon defeat.

2) Ghosts, in the Marsh Cave. They proved to be my downfall on my first attempt (thankfully I had used a Tent just outside the cave) by virtue of their attacks causing paralysis and my poor solo Fighter not getting cured with any rapidity. The six-pack of Ghosts and Zombies (lol recolors) then just wore down my Fighter bit by bit, until they had taken away all 300 of his HP and my party perished. Sometimes, I miss FIR2 and HARM.

I'm about to fight the Wizards you guys. L11!

POST-WIZARDS CARNAGE REPORT: So I got really really lucky and only had to fight 3 Wizards. And I still just barely beat them. I started with a full 300 HP, and finished with 10. If I hadn't gotten the first attack on the last round, I would've died. Now it's back to Elfland to replenish some supplies and then up to fight my avatar.

I have a digital camera which I could potentially use to catch shots of me playing the Origins version. However, I don't have the adapter thing for the card in my digital camera--as brilliant as I am, I took my camera to college but the not the adapter. This is all you'll get people:

Silly camera uploaded my pix to somewhere else! I don't know where! I'll probably have to reupload them or something, so I'll post 'em later.

My party is:
Paul (Fighter) - I've always liked the name Paul. I don't know why. I guess it's just cool.
Allie (Black Belt) - because the "Monk" (sod off, you're a Black Belt!) sprite shows off a bare chest and that's a very rubah thing to do.
Kaycee (White Mage) - sword dude always makes out with White Mage, yo.
LevDen (Fighter) - What happens when you cross Denmark with Levian? This happens! They share a body and they have a sword. But they're not as good at it as Paul is. I don't know why!

Things I have learned today:
- You don't start with any equipment, hence rushing out to start some :skull::skull::skull::skull: with the goblins (I want to call them imps :() is not a good idea, and you will be humiliatingly pwned.
- Inns do not cure poison! Gosh darnit way to waste my money, jerks.
- I hate tarantulas. But I like ogres.

Currently grinding away outside Elfheim, Level 8 allround. Managed to get enough money for 2 Mythril Swords and Esuna (12 bloody thousand!) so I'm gonna go at it a little bit more to get a couple more shiny trinkets for my noble warriors to use, and then it's off to the marsh cave! Well, depends how much EXP it takes to get to level 10.

Also I am never going to complete this. I always have to stop and listen to the music just because it's so good.

I indeed did get Origins today! I'll try to get a shot with my laptop's webcam somehow. :)

Edit: I can't seem to get a picture in any way. :-\ I'm gonna play anyway though, I'll just have to live without the gold stars :p
When you use the webcam, does it display what it has on screen at the time? Because you could do a Printscreen of the webcam video while you have it looking at the TV, and that might work. :monster:

Well this is weird. I decided to once more try one of the 6 (!) webcam capture programs I'd tried, just for the heck of it and, of course, it worked. I'm already on level 7 though (I hope the screen is legible :p), so I hope you can take my word for it that this I didn't just open a save file or something like it ;o

I actually ran into some trouble on the way to Pravoka, when George had a run-in with a pair of evil horses, and came out of it with a serious case of The Deads. I ran from fights all the way to Provoka (to keep EXP balanced, natch), and then hit the inn and went shopping before remembering that Inns don't cure The Deads. I had to sell almost all of my curative items to raise the 80 gil to bring him back.

Beat Astos. First attempt, he toyed with me for a little while and then pulled out RUB, which was effective. Second attempt, he tried RUB on the first attack round and that was ineffective, and then he basically whipped out his whole bag of tricks: FIR2, LIT2, SLO2, SLOW, SLEP (ineffective), you name it, he used it. But though I took a lot of damage, I managed to kill Astos and retrieve the CRYSTAL.

Ok, so... I don't really have much time this month what with my moving to Australia, so... I decided to play this with Game Genie codes, which after reading through the rules, is totally legal. Score one for Linus.

P.S. - Don't edit the rules, or I'll claim oppression!

This is after beating Astos.

And to update Ava Vs. Popa and Maxx Vs. Ouch.

Ava Vs Popa
Ava is ahead by 1 Int and 1 Vit, however Popa leads now by 3HP an 1 luck. It's looking pretty even.

Maxx Vs. Ouch
Not only does Maxx lead by 2 hp, but also by 3 Str, 1 Agi, 2 Int, 3 Vit.
However Ouch leads wit 1 Luck.

Basically, Ava Vs. Popa is basically even, while Maxx Vs. Ouch is so far easilly in Maxx's favor.

PSP. It's really enjoyable, more than I thought it would be. FMV's and music are basically the same of the PSX version, but graphics are high-res and it runs smoothly without a care in the world. Not only, but the American version (European is not out yet, I think) has a beautiful translation, which I think has been made anew, and you can choose to play it in Japanese even after naming your characters. Probably the best version I've played.

EDIT: annnnd down goes Lich.

EDIT2: oh come on. these packs of undead with paralysis power are the bane of my existence.

EDIT3: Second time through the Ice Cave proved much more fruitful, and insanely more lucky. I ran away from one pack of undead who had been paralyzing me when I had 9 HP left. And I managed to get a first strike against the Frost D. guarding the Ice Armor and then got my second and final sword swing in before it could attack me once. Eye also died in one hit.

EDIT4: Cruising right on through this game now. Excellently equipped too. By the way, Sorcerors suck. It's ProRing purchase time. PS: Bahamut's room is unnecessarily long.

Tore through the Ice Cave like a man possessed. It wasn't the den of horrors that I remember it being. Did they nerf it for the Origins version or something, or did my mad overlevelled party come in handy? Anyway, airship, class change and fire fiend all done and dusted (in that order) and I'm at level 24. I mean, I'm pretty sure I was level 24 when I beat the damn thing last time anyway, and I'm also sure Origins levels are identical to those on the NES (at least when you're not playing on Easy mode) so yeah, kick ass and all that.

Also, I don't know what the hell Unne's problem with Black Belts are. Seriously, mine, dearest Allie, causes an ungodly amount of damage, and it's definitely more than my two sword guys manage. It's beautiful to behold.

Den is currently a L27 Knight equipped with the Defense, and all the Opal armors. I have a ProRing and Ribbon to be swapped in if needed.

Once inside the Earth Cave, walk to the left/east/not right side of the map. Along a wall, there's a spot where every step gives you an encounter. I forget exactly what the monsters are that you find there.

Ah, why thank you oddler.

I also found that thumb thing Psy was at.

Fight Weaverns and Frost Wolfs and all.

Also, theres that chest in Earthcave where whenever you step in front of it, you fight "Earth" on the NES version.

Good 300 someodd XP there a fight, and it's every other step.

It's also easily finished in 1-2 rounds with my 2 Fighters and 2 Red Mages.

I think that's the ideal leveling spot right now.

My four Thief party. I've just acquired the Mystic Key and I'm off to plunder. Thinking about taking this party all the way through the optional dungeons since I've never done it before. I figure I'll probably need the cool weapons and armors to make Chaos easier.

I've decided to restart my NES one AGAIN -.- To a four monk party, realising how supremely cheap they are. Pics soon. Currently 94 in GBA

WHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA! Finally done it! (Hitting 99 i mean, not Chaos. XD) Decided not to max their stats coz it would take over a week, even with turbo. Didn't even touch the last special dungeon (the wind one). That's why I don't have all the good stuff like Ultima Weapon D: Off to Chaos and the NES later.

Finnaly got done grinding and obtained all the spells I need and a shiny new silver sword. After that I LIT2 the wizards into the next life and got the crown then I guted astos like a trout with my silver sword and got the crystal. THENNNNN I gave it to matoya and got the herb and woke the prince. Ill use the mystic key next time... Because Im way to tired to do so now.

Tomorrow Rantzien will be wearing a mage's hat and his face will be replaced by that of a black mage!

Just spent some time under the sea with the mermaids. :ariel: Problem was, I couldn't find a gift for Unne. He's not a fan of Diamond Gloves or Ribbons, I hear. I found something suitable after many, many fights with Sahagins, who I now loathe!

Camped outside Mirage tower as we speak. I'm pretty amazed that I remembered the exact location of the airship, and how to get the Oxyale, even though it's been five years since I last played FF1.

EDIT: All four crystals now restored! I think I shall grind to 30 and then see if I can't knock me down some Chaos.

Isn't War Mech a challenge? I was hoping for an excuse to beat him. :(

Rantzien has made this thread epic. Who knows what he'll do next!?

I've finally had a bit of time to play today, but I've just been hanging around trying to level up a bit. Hitting Level 7 seemed to help immensely, since my Fighters decided to start taking double swipes at things. Hooray!

Only level 36 because I was just too impatient to get up to L50. Beating Chaos took much luck. One time he SLO2'd me so I couldn't attack for 400dmg. Another time he pounded away with physical attacks instead of using magic. And then there were all the times where he CUR4'd himself. But I won!

Reflections on a solo Fighter/Knight party:

It gets through the game really quickly. I didn't die as much as I would've for any other solo party. However, getting paralyzed really pissed me off. No solo party again for me for a while. I'll probably play an old classic, the Fi/xx/WM/BM party next.

Necro is crazy.

It's worth noting that I'm utterly pedantic when it comes to levelling in this and indeed FF3. Because all my characters start at Level 1 I can't bare to see any of them level-up out of sequence. As such should anyone die during a fight and they're still dead at the end I'll reset and go through whatever dungeon I've just been through all over again. Yes, I'm that obsessive.

Current status; Levelling in Chaos Temple, Level 68 RM Party. We don't get bonus points for completing the DoS/PSP dungeons do we?

Tasura
02-06-2008, 04:44 PM
It's worth it though, even if there are no bonus points, I mean, I got a 4th Ribbon, so that makes me happy. And speaking of bonus dungeons, Earthgift Shrine and Hellfire Chasm cleared, onto Lifespring Grotto. Level 76 party.

Edit: Gilgamesh and Atomos down, Shinryu and Omega are pains in my ass though.

I do the same. I like to keep them leveling all together.

I had to fight those darn Wizards twice to get my Crown. After the first time I totally forgot all about the chest and I didn't realize that until I was out of the cave. So, I had to go back and do it all over again.

I am currently Level 11... almost Level 12 and I have two Silver Swords. They sure are nice. :) I'm retrieving all I can with the Mystic Key before going on.

If you're planning on using Temper, FYI it's bugged in the NES version and doesn't work. Neither do the LOCK spells. They actually increase the evasion of enemies.

I chose it because it's a spell that would help a Fighter in theory, even though it actually doesn't. The vast majority of spells I actually use in battle are attack spells, cause I know most of the other stuff doesn't work as intended.
