I was going to try a party of 4 White Mages (surprise) but then I thought of how annoying the all-too-frequent random battles are. Every five steps you have to spend 5 minutes fighting a group of monsters, when all you want to to is see what's at the end of the darn corridor!
But yeah, go for it!
But thats the fun of the 4 wm party till you get the zues-gauntlets thor hammer mage staff and the black armor then u have to go the long rounte and take time
Ah the power of Magic items. Look Mom! No MP!
4WM ain't so tough with class change and FADE. BM is hard until you get BANE and FIR3. 4BB is what's REALLY tough...
BM has low HP. So keep lots of healing items, or cheat by bringing along a White Mage.
Yeah. Bragging rights. I gave up on the difficult parties though, it's hard enough with my kickass Knight/Ninja/WW/BW party.
I hear that a solo thief game is the hardest of them all.
you're funny... while it is a challenge.. it's not as bad as single WM (as in White MAGE, no class change). I would classify Solo Theif as second to hardest party challenge. Think of it like this... the Solo White Mage has:Quote:

No good high lvl spells (ie. CUR4)
Need to take time to add INVS and RUSE (Invis and Protect in later versions I beleive), especially later game.
and of course the annoying and ungodly waste of time to get thru the game, with the long battles.
The only problem I had with solo theif was that you can't heal in battle (NES... only true way to experience FF1) and midgame is a b****
Chaos for any solo adventure is pretty easy, Masamune turns every class into a Knight, for just one fight (heh I rhymed!).
Yes but a white mage can at least keep himself alive, so while you'll have to take longer in the fight, as long as you keep over-levelling you'll never really be kept on the ropes. Thieves have better attack than white mages, but once your HP starts dropping, until you get the heal helmet you're pretty much boned. Even then, the best healing item in the game doesn't restore all that much HP, so when you do lose HP it counts for a lot more.
over lvl the theif too. build him up beyond what a normal "party" would be at different times in the game. not too hard to do, even on NES seeing as how you get 4x the exp when you're solo. Every class is tough to play solo at some point... because each class has a major drawback just like they have an advantage. I've heard ppl say that Red Mage is more balanced, but this is not true either.. while he is a jack-of-all-trades, he is definitely a master of none.
White Mage and Theif are the hardest, IMO based from my experiences with both, WM was harder for me... Maybe I got lucky with Theif
Exactly *HOW* do you arrange a single player party when you have no choice but to have 4 people in it from the start of the game?
i think you kill the other 3 off and never revive them
exactly... just a word off advice.. if you want to try a single character party just know that you need at least some exp (ie. beat the game before or know what spells the mages should take) and some patience. WIthout these, you will get frustrated and bored. Unfortunately I don't have much patience, but I had alot of free time when I did the White Mage and Theif ones(no school and no job helps you get free time:D .Quote:
