Lich bit the dust. Pun intended.
I've started my four Thief challenge which I'm also going to take to level 90. I'll take a pic when I get home.
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.
Mine dearest Paul is starting to suck as a red mage, but I just smile and accept this 8)
I have a pet theory that unne only disses the BB because he doesn't want people using them and discovering the delights of them so he can horde them for himself.
Garland threatens me the usual way:

Looks like Ganon finally got the best of him. Poor fella.
Currently I'm running around looking for Astos. I haven't found him yet, but I've run into a bunch of crazy Dwarves. Yay!
Boo, it's all about Erdrick's grave in Elfland.
Slaughtered Kraken, got a crash course in Lefeinish. I slowed down 'cause I've been distracted. Ghosts in the Sea Shrine are ridiculously overpowered, so I had to level a few times in case I ran into a gang of them (they cause paralysis and you can't run away).
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.
More screenshots! I take break now eat food and do stuff.
EDIT: lol Bane Sword. Goodnight, sweet prince. It's grinding time! Not sure anymore if I'm gonna do the L45 challenge. We'll see.
Garland revelaed his true form, trying to knock us all down once more!

Also that I won before Behold the Void did.
Ooh, koshiatar needs to post pics as she progresses ;o and same with Rantzien xD

Where is this good grinding spot before you fight the lich you people speak of?
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.
Hill Gigases, with the occasional Lizard friend.
OGRES
EDIT: PSYCHOTIC! :mad2:
Whaddya know, the shinra really do get in the way
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.
Currently level 87... Few more to go, then to max my stats. I know its insane, but I'm doing it. Does that earn me anything? :P
Hitting Level 90 gives you a challenge. That's a pretty impressive feat, I think. :p Takes some serious dedication.
No, I meant for maxing my stats. Do I earn anything more? :P
Astos dead. Off to give back Matoya her crystal eye.
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.
Lv17 party, just got home from school and about to start trying to figure out the next destination.

Since Chaos handed my ass to me, I'm going to go grind to 99, or something.
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!
I just got owned by three Necrotaurs because my party refused to flee. :cry:
I'm gonna agree that Cockatrices are Lucifer multiplied. Maybe I'm just getting unlucky but it seems like Thieves are seriously susceptible to their stone attacks. :(
I took down Lich last night at around level 24ish. Going to skip Marilith for the time being and head for class change and spell-casting items first.
Raided all the "mystic" treasures and then got the TNT. Gave that to nerick and blew up the canal to melmond (take that enviroment!)
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!
Finally beat Earth Cave! Now I can move on to other things... I forget what they are at the moment.
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.

http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/8940/snap012uw6.png
O RLY? Where is the pair of yellow socks I lost last year?
It took me an embarrassingly long time to find Astos, but apparently being at level 11 was a little high for the fight--he barely touched me at all. Punk!
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?
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'm going through the Soul of Chaos dungeons, too. Lifespring Grotto and Whisperwind Cove left to do but I doubt I'll have the patience to do them.
Today I wandered around the Chaos Temple for an hour and a half. I don't know where to go and the random encounter rate is way too high. I had hoped to complete it today... :(
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.
Final Fantasy, chimpanzee style!
http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/6...eestyleuf1.jpg
Level 23, I've gotten the Levistone from the Ice Cavern! Do I just use it on the ship, or... ? Don't answer that. :)
Just grinding at finger point a lot bought life and fire 3 not that motivated to play today.
My computer broke, tentatively ending my playthrough of this game. :P
Just reahced Elfheim after not having played the game at all the last couple of days. Currently leveling up a bit and saving up some money for some spells and such, before I apparently have to defeat Astos to wake up the prince.
Too lazy to take pics :P
Having already finished one game of Final Fantasy in less than a week, I decided to play it again. Probably not going for any challenges this time, I just wanna play with this high-powered offense:
I do the exact same thing as Leeza and Maxx Power. Level 35, baby. Chaos Temple is a nightmare and the three-step encounter rate is slowly destroying my soul.
pix plz?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...a/DSC00006.jpg
Class change, and Lekana is poisoned! I like to keep her poisoned when I walk around just so she can feel the pain I feel inside me every single day.
2 cyrstals down, 2 to go! Red mages stop being so good after a while...
I stepped into the marsh cave, grew quickly uncomfortable and ran back out, without actually running from battles at least!
I think I might hit a plateau shortly (or already have) I mean I'm almost back to the point where i Just kinda stopped last time xD
Yup so I killed the vampire (all it took was one harm 2 spell) and got the ruby.
So with a little hard work and determination, I finally completed:
The ship sliding numbers puzzle.
I have far too much time to waste. xD
How do you get that game? :confused:

Lich is no more. Please note D'Arcy's satisfied expression.
Down goes Chaos! Bam bam bam! Will post pix later but I want to grind to 45 (currently 37) and then upload both at the same time, so yeah.
Masamune + Excalibur + Holy + Level 37 Master = poor, poor Chaos. :)
KoShiatar: I don't know if it's in any version other than the NES one, but in the NES version, you hold A and press B 55 times while on the ship.
What the hell? Poison is an instant death spell? Poison?
Well, only that one reset, so not so bad. Airship!
It worked on me. :(
Yeah it worked on me, too, (by me I mean LevDen) and I had a god damned Protect Ring!
Whoa, I was unprepared for Kraken totally kicking my ass. That sucks.
He was hitting my characters for 8 hits 300 damage each round and they were only doing like 50 damage with swords (with Haste). Cure3 was only 100 healed so you do the math there. I'm not doing class change so I don't have Bolt3 or Invis2. I never had problems with him before because I always used a balanced setup so I didn't bother with any detailed strategy. Mistake.
EDIT: Yeah, Invis1 + Defender = No contest. Need to remember that for the later battles. 3 crystal down!
Actually, Marilith was easy, but Lich was harder that I thought. A few levels more (2 or 3) sometimes can make the difference. Indeed, the only thing that's disappointed me so far in the PSP version is how freakin' easy it is. I've played the NES version for a while and the Origins version almost until the end... who knows where my savefile is now :( and this one is hardly a challenge.
Edit: OK, I shouldn't have said that... :mad:

Marilith burns in the abyss and Kraken is sleeping with the fishes. :)
4 fiends down! One boss to go! Current level: 28
Isn't putting this on the frontpage a little much?
No, I don't think so at all. Why is it too much?
The front page up until now is all game news, releases, and such like that.
But never have I seen a random announcement concerning a forum event up there.
It's not as if the site and community are Final Fantasy based or anything.
1. Sign of things to come.
2. Trying to get publicity and encourage activity, which are not easy to do.
3. It's actually about Final Fantasy, unlike virtually every other forum event.
I conceed then.
After saving melmond from rotting (even though it still looks the same) I went to crexent lake and got the canoe I would have done more but my emulator was having some issues with saving so I had to fix that.
I've been slacking a bit here, I jsut beat the Vampire.
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...ahero/ff-4.jpg
Now for the Popa Vs. Ava and Maxx Vs. Ouch upate.
The difference between Popa and Ava haven't changed.
However the gap between Maxx and Ouch has grown in Maxx's favor.
And to end the update, I took out Vampire with 1 Fire3 and One crit from Ava.
Wow.
2 Fire 3's, and 1 strike from a fighter and Lich went down.
WTF is everyones problem with this guy? I heard he was suppose to be one of the toughest bosses in this game.
You can see her ribcage! D:I suppose that because he's infinitely tougher than any boss people have faced in the game up until that point, it kind of gives the illusion that he's more poweful than he is. Still, he does pack a hell of a punch so good job for wiping the floor with him.Quote:

Ah, you make me blush.
Though the real problem is keeping my guys alive going through the Ice Cave. Stupid Mages and their Rub Spell.
Hey, I did post game progress. So meh.
I've been busy in real life, so I've been slacking off in my second playthrough. Only L7, only one Silver Sword, only lv. 1 magic, etc etc. I'm hovering around Elfland leveling and gaining moneys. Maybe this weekend I'll grind out a bunch of the game. The only challenge I'm going for this time is L45 (specifically L50), so no real pressure.
I've finally had some time to play more after getting some tests and things out of the way. I'm so behind, though. Just got the Mystic Key and am now wandering around aimlessly. :cool:
You people need to update more. :choc2:
It used Dark in the first round, and then one shot my characters one by one in the other rounds. I had forgotten about evade spells.
Erdrick!
Have all best weapons and armor from Elfland, working on acquiring the rest of the level 3 spells for my two mages. Need to buy FIR2 and LIT2 yet for ZAP! (my RM, who just acquired CUR2), and need to buy LIT2 for NUKE (I hate my BM's name, it's so cliche. but FIR3 doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well.)
I'm chilling in the Chaos Shrine and grinding out the last levels up to 90. I think I'm somewhere around 60 right now, maybe higher. I tried completing Kraken's optional dungeon and got through to the 20th floor where Omega and Shinryu both totally ate my 4 Ninja party alive. :(
Level 45, just gotten the whatever it's called water from the fairy, looking for what to do next. I should go find the Fiend of water but I haven't got the faintest idea about where to look. Pictures soon.
River running! Currently at level 28.
http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/7...runningwf6.jpg
Oh, that's a good place to level up, Mr. Rantzien! White crocodiles are your friends. Your hurtful, nasty and damaging friends, but friends nonetheless. :)
Hah, thanx Maxx. I didn't want to look at a guide because I would feel like cheating.
http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/3664/snap001md9.png
Is that supposed to be a trasure?! Puagh! D: (Citadel of Trials, I hate you. It took me 3 hours before I found out that I didn't have to go anywhere special nor face any boss, but just go in and fond the way out. What kind of trial is that?)

In fact I am so cool, even faeries totally love me! And they give me random gifts!
bought all my stuff from Elfland (still require Level 4 Magic other than FAST, but that also requires cash that I don't have). dominated the Marsh Cave and Astos. went to Matoya's and talked to a broom.:love:
I would actually like to play this game. Can I buy it on it's own or do I have to buy the Origins with FF1 and 2?
Not too late at all, we still have half a month left. ;)
If you wanted to purchase it, you'd probably have to go for: PS1 Origins, GBA Dawn of Souls, or PSP FFI Anniversary, unless you have an NES and could find a cart.
You could always emulate one of the above, though. :p
Speeding right on through the game now. Knocked out Lich easily, struggled my way through the Ice Cave (Sorcerors :mad2:), got Floater, got ProRings from Gaia, went to Castle of Ordeal, class changed! Now to Gurgu Volcano and more grinding. Wanna be L25 for Sea Shrine.
EDIT: oh my god i called it "ordeals" kill me now
i might as well just go find the masamune and go stay in corneria
It's starting to look like I might be stuck permanently in elf-city 8)
I am such a slacker. It took me forever and a day to level up for the Marsh Cave. But at least:
http://abyrae.com/images/FFI/ff1-39.jpg
Forgot to take a screenshot of my current level. I think I'm at level 11.
Forgot what's next. I returned Matoya's crystal, she gave me the herb for the Prince, and I opened all the locked doors to the treasures in the Marsh Cave, Northwest Castle, Temple of Fiends, Elfland Castle and Conelia Castle. Oh well. More tomorrow, I'm sleepy.
Kraken burninated! And he indeed was a piece of cake. Went to Unne, showed him the Rosetta Stone, went to pay a visit to the Lufenians. All is ready for my ascent to the sky!
I don't know why you people say Kraken is so easy. He hits my character for 600 damage before I even get a turn off! Even with Invis and Blink he does ~200 damage per hit, I can't keep up with that!
RDM RDM RDM RDM
I have all equipment I could possibly have at that point. By the way, I'm referring to the Chaos Temple version.
Anyway, with some luck (and FFO's Memo File, hope that isn't cheating) I was finally able to get through all that and beat the game! I'll post my pics later.
...Because he... was easy?
If you're playing the NES version, then he sure must be much harder than all the other ones, but in the PSP version he was barely able to hit my characters. He started off with Ink (=Blind), which only affected my Knight, and he went down before my Black Wizard could even try to Thundaga him.
I'll be getting the Origins soon, but I doubt I'll be able to catch up with you guys :/
I think the reason I had so much trouble with him is because I didn't have a balanced setup. Red mage X4 can't really go for the quick kill or sustain themselves like some of the other parties.
Wham blam and Lich goes down. I was a little worried at first because my fighters proved completely ineffective, but thankfully my Black Mage was there to save the day with lots of Fire.
Lich was super easy. I was expecting more.
Prepared for battle:

Good job. :)
I just beat Kary. I think I'm overleveled because she was super easy too.
I suppose I should update my progress despite how little I've made. I've currently got the Star Ruby having just beaten the vampire. Hate the Cavern of the Earth. Damn Cockatrices.
As soon as I see then I try to nuke them all with my Black Mage.
They're definitely up there on my list of 'most hated FF enemies', that's for sure. It's just a bit annoying if they petrify two of your characters and you only have one gold needle.
Anyway, I beat Lich and decided to carry on and class change before the next fiend.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...lassChange.png
Taa-daa?
I thought I was doing pretty well in my first foray into the volcano, but then one of my Warriors was one-hit KO'd and I had to limp out after scouring that hellish room for treasure and using up all of my potions. :(
Level 19, beat Kraken. Again. I guess I lied about that whole Level 25 for Sea Shrine thing. I guess I got impatient.
Off to Melmond and then Lefein and then Mirage Tower and Sky Castle!
... Which brings us to my current position. Level 32!
Lu...pa...gamhi...dho?
Starting a little late, but meh.
http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/2...engeff1pc6.png
The level 2 is because I forgot to run from the fight that killed my other guys. :P
Going for normal complete, solo, no class change, and 4 of the same class if it counts.
i'm pretty sure 4 of the same class requires them to all be alive. but still, good luck to you.
okay, so I had FAST (Master at this point) use the Bane Sword as an item against Tiamat, with TMPR attacking and ZAP! and NUKE using FAST on TMPR and FAST. so the first thing that happens is FAST uses the Bane Sword, BANE connects, Tiamat dies. I was kind of disappointed, actually. GRINDING TIME

I flip on the game, look at the screen, and my interest disapears as I go to do something else. :(

Ok, looking down on the world from the sky, I saw where the Temple of Chaos is. However, since there's still more than ten days left, I decided to pay a visit to the Soul of Chaos dungeons in the meantime.

No, Smyth. That's a pair of my old shoes.

Can you do that with a pair of old shoes?! WOW!
Can't wait to try it!
Now I'm dancing around Chaos Temple. I hate Green Dragons and their smurfing Toxin. :mad2:

Mine's right here, guys :)
not in February, doesn't count >:O
okay so i might have used a couple savestates here. notice the unconventional lineup? little old Mechie kept doing 278 damage to the character in the fourth spot on a "monsters strike first" kind of deal, who was originally NUKE. thing is, NUKE doesn't have 278 HP. so I moved TMPR to the fourth spot to absorb that 278 damage, then used FAST (magic) on FAST (character) and TMPR and just pounded away. 8000 EXP each is a nice reward, but that's so torturous.
So I FINNALY beat the ice cave and obtained the FLOATER (its what all true waariors srtive for) Now the airship is mine next stop class change:D :D :D
Took a little break. :D Roaming around in the water temple now, trying to not miss any treasure.
stay in coneria inn, fly to temple of fiends, wander around killing monsters, maybe gain a level, EXIT, fly back to coneria, stay in inn, repeat. that is my game for the next 24 levels.
this is why I never get L50. but I will this time, gosh darn it.
I could easily finish the game right now; all my chars are at Level 99 with the best equipment possible (well, for Red Mages anyway). I want to complete the other optional dungeon but it's quite frankly the most annoying piece of crud I have ever experienced outside of FF12.
The only cool parts about the optional dungeuns are its bosses other than that they're really boring.
Been playing for so long now. xD
Defeated Kraken and Tiamat. Also beat all the bosses in the Earthgift Shrine as well as Hellchasm fireshrine.
Level 66
I've done it on the NES version before running up and down Warmech's bridge in the Flying Castle. Seemed the easiest way. Warmech starts to become a pushover.Quote:
this is why I never get L50. but I will this time, gosh darn it.
What's Warmech called in the newer versions of the game? I'm afraid I've missed him, and I'd like to complete the Bestiary... even tough I'm not sure that will be possible; depends on how deep I can get in the time dungeon. Are there any new enemies at all Maxx?
Within the central game, no. There are new monsters in the bonus dungeons including the bosses, including a boss in the ToF's bonus dungeon whose form differs depending on what type of seal you opened in what order, with each incarnation a different version. Let it be said that the ToF bonus dungeon is a bitch. I've attempted it about six times and failed each time to get the most powerful form. Not because of my lack of skill, the puzzles are just ridiculously annoying.
Incidentally there are no missable enemies in FF1. You can revisit any location and refill your Bestiary.
I'm attempting the SoC dungeons, but I'm overleveled and they're easy. If the new dungeon is a challenge, it will be a nice change for once. I should also be able to finish it all before the end of the month.
Finally got my copy of Origins. I'll tell you how I get on once I start playing :hat:
Don't forget the starting screenie!
I'm gonna be a bit busy, probably for the rest of February, so I don't know how much I'll be able to play. But hey, I'm at Chaos Temple, so I should be able to make it if that's not extremely long-winded.
I really have to get started again after having taken a longer break. I think I'll resume my game tomorrow.
Ok, the party is on level 5 and I'm in some town where I got jumped by like 10 pirates, then they gave me their ship :hat:
Liking it so far. Would play more but my mother chucked me off the tele to watch crappy programmes :/
Well, just another 9 days before this competition is finished, but I think I can still make it if I start now. Alright, I'm attempting an all-out fighter game (not much challenge, I know), and I'm going to attempt to finish the game without class change. If I've some time left, I will try to max out my levels, but for now, I'll start with this:
http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/7254/75707766ni1.png
Dago: My username (just sounds cool)
Psyc: Psychotic, for naming his warrior after my real name (hell yeah!)
Scis: professor_scissors, for naming a thief after me (not as cool as Fighter)
Paul: My real name (obviously)
I'll post my progress tomorrow.
I don't think so.
I'll have a good play tomorrow, got a half day at college and I'll try and get some pics up aswell :)
Well, after a tough day at school, I finally had the time to sit back and play. Here are my beginner stats:
http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/3724/71780478om9.png
After a quick five minute play, Garland got his ass handed to him. And so, my journey begins...
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/2811/54042065ct7.png
After that I quickly leveled up and challenged Bikke and his matees.
http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/815/95452838lk4.png
Four against nine!? That's not fair...
http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/6185/64248582va1.png
You were only with nine...
At the moment I'm grinding near ElfLand for G and exp. I'll keep you updated.
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8985/10ud2.png
UPDATE: I managed to get through part of the Marsh Cave without being hurt too much. The dreaded scorpions were much easier than I can remember. Only the Scum were a little difficult, seeing as how they are only susceptible to magic and critical hits.
http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/4308/17tg5.png
I also paid a visit to the dwarves (Lali-ho!!). Apparently, they are more stupid then they look.
http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/2061/13ek5.png
O RLY now?? Then how come I'm stealing your treasure right under your noses without you knowing it?
http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6718/12mm1.png
I'm also stocking on HEAL and PURE potions. They are essential for my second trip into the Marsh Cave.
http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/7839/18ai8.png
Pushing the A button this many times sure took a long time. Oh well, it was worth it.
http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/6619/19jw3.png
With all preparations complete, I head out for a second time. Onto adventure!!
After a long time of not playing, I've decided to give off on Omega and Shinryu for now and go after the last bonus dungeon.
Edit: Right, so got down to Death Gaze, he eats my soul, so I'll probably just give up and go try and kill Chaos this time.
Here's my progress so far:
I feel that it's not very good at telling where to go next. I find myself wandering around until I bump into something that's part of the story.
I'm at the elf village now, staring in shock at the price of everything. I bought a few things but only cause I won 5000 gil from getting second place on that number game on the ship :)
If you need any help on where to go next, you could always ask. This part of the game is actually quite linear, but the second half is where people tend to get lost quite a lot. (At least I did)
Also, I've beaten Astos. The marsh cave was peace of cake after all.
http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/1217/20va8.png
Also, why aren't there any phoenix downs and why I can't I restore the MP for my mages?
Well, it looks like you are playing origins. I don't know a lot about that version, but I'm fairly sure sooner or later you'll stumble across some Phoenix Downs. I think it simply makes going to the clinnic more obligatory, so that they are not completely useless. As for MP restoration, I don't think it's possible to do that without an Inn or a House, but I'm not too sure about that one.
The original game was supposed to be like that, that's why it's so much harder. You need to go to towns to resurrect your characters, to save and to rest.
If you want things easier, emulate the GBA version or get the PSP version.
Or you can be a man and leave them dead.
...but let them live and you have four times the power.

After some trading, I acquired the mystic key.
http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/6411/23tb0.png
I feel so... mystified.
I'm going to buy another load of potions, and I think that I'm going to sign off for today.
http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9991/24qs1.png
Three down, one to go. :cat:
Is there a single Black Belt in a party that hasn't been named Unne?
I didn't play much today, but I managed to complete the Earth Cave. I should've trained more before attempting this dungeon, as I got scared everytime I encountered some Cockatrices (didn't think of bringing Soft potions, luckily I didn't get petrified), and I'd often get into situations like the one below.
http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/2084/26lx4.png
So yeah, I was lucky I didn't had to restart every single time. Having an all-fighter party certainly has its advantages.
The vampire was a real whimp. I took him down with Paul before he even got a single shot at me. The same goes for Lich. He had a pretty powerful ICE2 spell (120 dmg!!) but I took him down in round 2. Pitty. Oh well, now I've got my first Orb lightened.
http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/7120/29ju1.png
YAY!!
My Black Belt was named after James Iha. Which makes somewhat sense, since James Iha is of Japanese descent and the Black Belt is a master of oriental martial arts.
I got lost in the Hellfire Chasm! In the level that looks like the world map. I met the pirate and he told me that I could use the Levistone in the oasis in the desert to get an airship, but I tried (that's where the palm is, right?) and nothing happened. I can see the hole I need to get in from another island, but I can't reach it! What's up with that stupid hole? I went throught the Hellfire Chasm before and I had no problem!
I don't want to get my characters killed just to get out of it. Please help. é__è
Edit: nevermind, problem solved.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...nofSouls-9.png
Level 90 party.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...ofSouls-10.png
And Chaos finally kicks the bucket, the trick was to have 3 attack and one use a Rune Staff each round.
with that done, I'm gonna try a solo, I doubt I'll finish before the end of the month though.
Alright it just dawned on me that im extremely under leveled but I still got class change.
Oh crap, February is going towards its end. You can do it, Rantzien! Pick up the controller and play! B-b-but the school work? Screw school! You're in Chaos Temple, it can't possibly be that much left. Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late! Oh, my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting! :(
That makes me think I still have 2 and a half optional dungeons to beat in less than one week. Let's get busy!
Ive only lit one orb Im so screwed... Damn you fire emblem 3 and your distracting from final fantasy 1 gameplay.
Went back to fight Warmech after getting the fourth orb. He managed to get a few hits in before we terminated him.
http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/7615/snap002nh7.png
What? Again? :O
http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8527/snap003cl4.png

Scarmiglione.

Scarmiglione, who decided he didn't look impressing enough for a boss, also managing at the same time to start stinking.

Mama, my video game said there is a crystal dwelling in my heart too! Do I need surgery now? :jess:
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/7621/theendbd1.jpg
You probably do, yes. Nice work!
This is bad. I can't find my NES power adapter. :( I'll have to play the PlayStation version then, I guess.
Edit: Now I can't find the PlayStation version, but I've located my AC adapter. So I guess it all works out?
You'd better get cracking, you've only got 5 days left. You're lucky it's a leap year!

Whoever made this prophecy is going to be pretty disappointed.
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1..._X/sure175.jpg
Rantzien definitely wins this thread. :jess:
I just realized I was two levels away from completing another challenge. :( Oh well. I enjoyed the game!
He sure does!
Alright, yesterday after taking a break from this game, I decided I should probably move on, seeing as I only had one crystal aquired. So after a great many hours, I managed to get both the fire and water orbs. Believe it or not, Kraken was actually harder than Kary, due to his physical attacks and me not having a class upgrade.
http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/7344/31re5.png
The ice cave was a b*@# too, I had to restart because of a mage killing Dago at the very last moment. Luckily I saved right outside the cavern.
http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/8229/33rp1.png
I then proceeded with my newly acquired airship to do a little sidequest first.
http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/6125/38ce7.png
What? Just because I don't actually upgrade my class doesn't mean I can get a lot of G and exp.
Besides, the Heal Staff is more or less essential, else I'd run out of potions way too quickly.
http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/7360/39fm9.png
I also figured I might as well get the Cube right away. I mean, MudGolems don't really pose any problems.
http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/5153/40hd4.png
I stopped to grind here. Without being able to equip the Defender and Opal armor (except the bracelet) and without any magic at my disposal, this place became REALLY tough. Dago nearly died three times because I didn't have any means to properly heal myself during battle. I got so frustrated at this dungeon that I litterally began stomping the wall next to me.
http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/569/43fa0.png
I finally managed to light the water orb, and before attempting the Floating Castle, I think I'm going to grind some more.
I guess the Temple would be less of a pain now that I know the way. I might give it a shot, if school doesn't overburden me this week. :)
Oh noes, I only have a few days left!
I'm at the Terra Cavern now, level 17, but when I go over to the left, every step I take I go into a battle against these hill dudes :/
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...mus_X/sure.jpg
Fiend of Earth defeated.
I started playing again and just killed off Astos and got The Mystic Key... Does it have unlimited usage?
Anyway, I won't possibly finish this game by the end of this month.. but who cares, it still fun to play :)
Yeah, you'll never lose the mystic key. Unless Dr. Unne steals it. Which he doesn't. :shifty:
edit: Okay, 45'd, and Chaos beaten... Again. Why does he have a bird peeking out of his crotch?
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...lasschange.jpg
Classes upgraded.
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1..._X/twodown.jpg
Kary defeated. Now I get to play the fun parts of the game!
The skies are mine, so only the end awaits. Just in time, too. February is nearly at an end!

This just to prove I tried. But it really isn't my kind of thing and besides I only have two days left. So off to Chaos!
Oh yeah, very possible since I've had the maximum amount of money for a while now and I always stock up on stuff before going into a dungeon.
Edit: http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/7948/17chuponyc9.gifChupon did really have another face... it's just me who didn't notice it. O__O
Just beat Lich, level 21. Taking pictures of my tv sucks, but meh I'll try and get some soon.
And I've just started the Mirage Tower. I will finish on time if it's the last thing I do.
I'm done. That was fun. :)
Just finished the Ice Cavern. The bosses in this game suck.
One day left, can it be done?
I also hate Dark Wizards :mad2:
Sorry, no pics this time, I forgot to take them.
The Mirage Tower/Floating Castle became an absolute endless grindfest. I finally feel how hard this game is without the slightest speck of magic. On top of that, I can't equip any new weapons and armour. I even had to sell Xcalbur because my lack of class change. I managed to beat Tiamat and light the final Orb, but I still need to level up not only to beat the final dungeon, but also because I want to complete the Lv45+ challenge.
Only this evening and a day left, this should get exciting. To all people that still need to beat this game, Go for it!
PS: I barely beat Warmech on Lv 33, he gives loads of EXP!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ff/EndGame.png
Yeah, I got a bit lazy with the healing towards the end. For fear of not having time to finish tomorrow, I skipped along to the end pretty quickly and wasn't really terribly strong. But oh well, I've saved the world and that's the main thing!
I've had my guys sitting at Chaos waiting until I had batteries for my camera. Behold!

Remember, always equip your Knight with a Protect Ring.
Well, February is over for most of us, but we'll let this go on for the rest of the night. If you're going for Challenges, best finish them soon! However, we'll leave it open for a few days, so anyone going for the Completion challenge can still grab that one, even if it's March. But you'll be SOL if you were going for a Solo, low level, high level, etc. challenge.
Aaand I finished just in the nick of time. :monster:
