So what's yours? Don't tell me you don't have one. FFI and II had those annoying, frustrating enemies you hated to run into. I hated running into those Mind Flayer pallette swaps in the Ice Cavern. Grr...
"We'll attack you! Now you're paralyzed! Let's attack again! Instant death!"
I still don't see how it works. Is that just an effect added into their attack? :cat:
Oh well. What's your most hated FFI enemy? :cat:
Anything poisonous. For whatever reason, enemies with petrification or instant death attacks have never inconvenienced me.
White Dragons, Green Dragons, and Dark Wizards
I was always too lazy to get anything that cured poison, so yeah...they were a pain. I also would try and make sure all my charicters leveled up at the same time. So if any of my chaicters died in a fight and I didn't revive them before it was over I would have to restart. I can't remember the name of the monster (dark prince guy?) but he would always 1-shot one of your guys right before he died. That was a pain. I re-did the encounter maybe 20 times untill he finaly didn't do it.Quote:

I hate the really rare monsters, mainly for Bestiary purposes
But yeah, I hate poisonous things at the start of the game, and Dragons for those breath attacks
BTW if anyone dies, I run back to the nearest town runing from all battles, I hate EXP lags between characters
Oh yeah!I hate them too.Quote:

I hate and kill them all equally!
warmech. the thing never shows up. the reason i dislike him is that ive been on the bridge where you fight him for over 1/2 an hour and warmech still hasnt shown.
Ghast and other zombies that could paralyze. Especially when there is 6-9 of them and the entire party is paralyzed. All you can do is sit there and watch the hero's fall one by one. Hate those things. :mad2:
I agree with all of the above, but I will add that I hate Cockatrices with a passion.Quote:

It's funny, because on my NES version, he always appears when I'm going to Tiamat, but he'll never, ever appear on DoS. :cat:
apparently theres a 1/64 chance of him showing but that isnt too low a chance compared to some rare items on games. in FFX some things are 1/256 chance and i dont have many problems getting those. looks like my luck has ran out.
Pyrolisks, and cockatrices. :mad: And Piscodemons.
Huh. Never had that problem. Must be lucky. ;)Quote:

They take time to kick down without the Silver Sword, and they leave ridiculously low amounts of EXP and Gil for them to be worth fighting.
"YAY! we're basically time-consuming bastards! Let's stand here and steal your time!
Oh, and don't care about the fact that we leave über-crappy rewards. :D" :rolleyes2
Their sprites tended to suck too; probably because I hated them. :rolleyes2
My god, I hate Desert Barettas. They give you crap for all the effort you put into killing them. I also hate the Abyss Worms in the Earthgift Shrine, because they attack you and do living craploads of damage.
Cocktrices. These painful things show up in packs and often end up stoning a character, and they appear long before the "super" equipment is available to you.
those things in the ice cave... the mindflare things. they sucked.
Not to mention Barbaccia.Quote:

Seriously though, most of the legitimate ones I could think of have been mentioned already. I'll go with Warmech as being the worst, for always appearing when you don't want him, and never appearing when you do for bestiary or EXP purposes.
Gas Dragons in the final Temple were pretty nasty, also.
If you play the emulator version, you could just place something on the Auto-Fire A Button; that's what I did. :cool:Quote:

i hate the scorpions in the begining, the deal soooo much to a biggining party and they poison =( its really annoying when one of my mages gets hit once and there down then my fighter gets hit and there goes most of his health and to really rub some salt in, hes poisoned!
duh. warmech
I still haven't beaten that mechanical SoB. Well, the problem may be that I can never encounter him, but even so...
Perhaps malboros...
There were malboros in FF1?
Marlboros first appeared in Final Fantasy II.
The Snow (White?) Dragons. I always run away like a little child whenever I encounter them. And the Mind Flares. <<
And Ogres, just because for about an hour outside Elfland that's pretty much all you fight until you're strong enough to fight at cheater's penninsula.
where abouts is that? ive only got so far as to blow up the canal passageway. (Lv.12 character levels)
Nothing really annoying as yet. it used to be poisonous things, but i quickly learned i had to buy antidotes (Friggin marsh cave). Ogres are good gil! (until you get mystic key). Basically just enemies that dont give a lot reward, Gigas Worms, Crawlers, Wolves, Lizards. At least wraiths give good gil.
Adamanties, or whatever there called. They only give 1 gill per battle and are strong against physical attacks.
I hate Sorcerers/Mind Flayers. If they ambush your party, they'll most likely use their paralyze attack on everyone, and then they keep poking the party members for 1-2 damage that randomly causes instant death. Mages in the Ice Cave are another nightmare. When they ambush you, they'll kill everyone with Fire3 and Bane/Poison before you get a single turn (it has happened to me!).
Ghosts in the Sea Shrine are also quite annoying. They appear in groups of 3-5, they often ambush you and their attacks do a load of damage. 9 undead monsters with paralyzing capabilities and ambushing the party also annoys me. Clearly, I don't like being ambushed. :D WarMech is also a bit annoying in the PSX version because he's turned into WarChicken (he doesn't dare to face your party when you want to run into him).
I had trouble against that Ahriman thing in the cave... I don't think I've beaten it yet! And all those other three monsters just come back after you kill 'em so this ahriman must be the one to kill... And I can't do it!!
They all come back. You can beat any of the SoC bosses as many times as you want. And if you're having trouble with Ahriman, you're gonna looooove Shinryu and Omega. :DQuote:

wow, looks like I have totally forgotten this forum for years..

Yeah, WarMech never comes at all on Origins or on the GBA for me. But he always, always comes when I'm on my way to Tiamat on the NES. (Thankfully I run away on the first turn...thank goodness.)
...So, I know this is off topic but, what are they there for? How do I get past that part in the game?Quote:

3. Anything that poisons you, just because of the annoyance factor of re-ordering your party in the NES version. And the annoyance of running out of antidotes in the Marsh Cave, when you're still poor enough that buying PUREs can be troublesome.
4. Ankylos. If I'm going to kill a walking tank, give me some gold for it.
How can you hate Warmech? He should be admired.
[qq=Sephiroth1999AD]Which monsters cast Confuse? I've beat the game like six times, and I don't think I've ever been hit with Confuse. I only remember using the Wizard's Staff to confuse enemies.[/qq]
Yes, nothing uses CONF in FF1.
I always hated Cockatrices. They're not hard to deal with...I just hate them.
Same me. Nerving thing is that if they paralyze WM while, she's preparing Dia or similiar spells, and i haven't set BM rof Fira/Fire2. In Marsh Cave those were pain for me. And i'm pretty sure i meet them at every point of the game :(.Quote:

All Spells in the DoS version are set to about 80% of their damage range if at regular int levels. and they no longer have a range really to speak of.
ie.. Harm3 I believe is 60-240? its set somewhere around 190 then.. and does like 190-191 to everyone.. if not 100 exactly. never does less, never does more.
It's kinda weird how they did it.. Int also increases the damage.
And for enemies..
Mindflayer/Sorceror(Paralyze and rub), Mages(Fire3/Bane), Barettas(I usually had a BB who is able to critical rather easily in Origins.. so wasnt too bad).
Warmech I've only fought twice on Origins.. he's rather rare.
And for Dawn of Souls...
Not sure what the enemy was called... but something on or around the 35th floor of Whisperwind Cove... had a Mage/Fighter monster set(looked like a Mage but painted black).. and was two of them.. Attacked with all my people like usual.. did about 500 damage to the first one... then he takes a turn... FLARE!
300~ damage to all my party.. ouchie.
I managed to kill the other one as Knight attacked and killed the first, then BB 1 hit killed the second.. but it was scary if there can be more than two of them...
I totally abhor those damn things that keep throwing drawn out magic spells on me all the time in FF2. :mad:
"Now let's throw this Fire spell of destruction-ness!
FIRE 8!!!
Let's throw another spell!
And that's STUN 16!
Now they're all paralyzed, so let's throw EVERYTHING we've got!
FIRE 8!!! FIRE 8!!! FIRE 8!!! FIRE 8!!! FIRE 8!!!
DEAD PARTY!!!" :rolleyes2
Warmech period.
Man I totally thought this said "Most hated member" and started wondering who let Kishi get away with moving such a thread to this forum.
Warmech was easy. Shinryu took me days to beat.
Those damned enemies that paralayze your entire party, and then commence to slowly beating your party down further and further into oblivion with petty attacks that constantly paralyze you...
Curses...
/agree with the 99 potions from potion vendor thing. Takes forever.
#1 most hated enemy for me: ASTOS. He deserves some kiddy venting:
OMFG ThAt j00bAG N HiS FaRkKInG 1 HiT Ko HiTs ArGhHhHHHHhHHhhHH
reason? My single character challenge 1 thief game. The best wep the thief can equip at that point blows, hard. I was level 26 when I put that game aside (that's practically the end of the game for a normal party ffs) and he STILL owned the crap out of me. His slow thing totally owns my thief. At level 26 I finally got where I'd do like 3 hits for about 11 damage total, but as soon as he slows (which he does quite often), it's back to 1 hit for 1 damage. He has like 116 hp or something..... Would survive his hits easily except for F***ING RUB. I can get past the first one like once every 10 tries, but the second one, which always comes up about 3-4 attacks max later, gets me. I wonder if this is even gonna be possible at FIFTY.
I mean come on, I've got max 99 of every item and 32k gold or something at this point from all the damn ogres I've killed. It's getting harder to level because they all run away now. Can't kill cheaters peninsula yet though, maybe at 30. :/
------
With a normal game? The paralyzing monsters in the ice cave. Sorcerors/Mind flayers or w/e. My other game that I've finished was a single knight game, so the same probs with paralyzing/1 hit-KOing were there.
Mind Flayers. I hate them with all my heart.
I forget what they are called, but those god dam frickin frogs wrecked my head.. so uh, them ;)
Warmech is a 1/64 battle rate, but on the NES you were guaranteed to fight a warmech within 64 battles because the game cycled through random encounter lists. I don't think much of anything was totally random in FF1 - it was all scripted lists - even enemy behavior. In later FF1s random encounters got totally randomized, so he hardly ever appears.
My least favorite enemy are the undead that cause paralysis. It seems to proc horribly often.
war mech was easy when i fought it but it killed my red wizard twice and i had to waste the white mage's turn to cast life on the red wizard ( I messed up and gave the red wizard curaga instead of the white wizard lol) but after my knight used giants gloves and the black mage finally casted haste on him (I really could've used a ninja...) he was hitting around 1200.The white wizard casted healaja every turn and after that i was fine. But I hate shinryu with all my heart. Cerberus was a pain in the ass when I first went into earthgift shrine after the marilith fight, but now he's down in one or two hits lol. Other than that the only things that bothered me were the ghosts and the piscodemons/mindflayers.
i absolutely agree i hate them so much all that happened last night and all i could do was watchQuote:

Anyway, still hate those damn Mind Flayers.
'lol ur paralyzsed'
'rofl i hit you and now ur dead'
'stfu n00b roflmaolololo!!11111one'
>_L;
so far, it's wizards because you can't freaking run from them and it gets old and eventually you just don't have any more lit2 >:[
Most hated Monster In FFI has always been Mind Flayers. But NOTHING In FFI Is as annoying as Death Riders or Imps In FFII. There my Most Hated of all FF Monsters.
i hate anything to do wit zombies whether its a ghoul, ghast, zombie, or tht revenant thing or a shadow wraith etc i want em all dead to hell
anywayz peace out ya'll
oh wait they are dead
my bad
9 ghouls/ghasts with enemy strikes first
Any monster on the cart for FF1 on NES. When I used to play that game ages ago, like when i was 3 or 4 I never really noticed that you had to equip your items, so going through the game naked with awesome stuff in your inventory is painful.
Also, Omega. Took like 6 tries, and my people were at lv 70s or 80s. And each try took like an hour before he would kill me...
And btw Chaos is a weakling and so is Shinryu. Omega is teh shiznat!
I got shinryu on the first pass, and Chaos can be killed in one full attack round if I take the time and prepare in the battle. I tend to use the classic fighter, black belt, white mage, black mage combo team that kills all. Best party of all time in my opinion. and unless you are using a solo black belt, chaos is easy.
><
The dumb train thing....BOO.
STOP KILLING MY NINJA YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does everyone hate mindflayers? You only encounter like 1 at a time and their dead before they can even attack. But I really hate Ahriman, I spent like an hour just surviving him and then he Flares my ass.
Cockatrice's when you first meet them. You need luck on your side.
I hate any and all sea monsters. Your just floating along and bam they hit ya out of no where. Darnit! Let me get to Elf Land ALREADY!!
Atomos, too much life and it takes a long-ass time to kill him. (I'm not sure if atomos is in the original this was in dawn of souls for GBA).
He wasn'tQuote:

Wizards/Piscodemons and all variants. I hate them all.
Alas, in all my FF1 playing, I have never, ever met Warmech. How's that for misfortune?
For supreme happiness in the pants, try three Red Mages. Slight limitation on spells, but so intensely easy to level up.Quote:
