The parties where you blew it.

[Mystik_Ninja]

I tried this one on the NES version. It moved through the game OK, but it ends up being pretty ridiculous to actually play. After about level 12 the monks do ALL of the damage dealing, but the party will always be hurting for defense and needs all the RM white magic and more just to survive.

Surely Black Belts can't suck as much as Black Mages. I'm gonna have to finally give it a try...

Black Mages have fairly high agility in my experience, and after the multi target spells, they just blast through monsters before they can even get touched.

[DarkLadyNyara]

I got halfway through the Chaos Shrine on my Solo lowest level white mage game. Then said "the hell with it" and quit. I'll probably try again when I get some free time. The solo lowest level black mage game didn't even get past the vampire in the Earth Cavern.

4 black mages. I didn't so much blow it with them as got bored senseless. They require so much money to buy spells, and healing items, and decent armour when you can, and keep their magic up that it just wasn't worth it in the end. I switched to 4 Fighters after I gave up on black mages and got farther in an hour than they did in four. Black Mages may be a walking death squad when they get going, but you have to be pretty patient to get them there. Fighters do pretty well though with just a good stock of potions, decent equipment, and some leveling, and never have to go back to an Inn because they can't hit the enemy anymore.

A knight, a thief, a monk and a red mage I actually thought I would get raped but I completed the game by using mostly physical attacks.

[Liar]

Knight, Blackbelt, White Mage, Black Mage. I had no magic or physical attacks.

[SABR]

I tried to go solo with a black mage. I got to lv 2, then gave up. Even getting there was hard.

[Thais]

A knight, a thief, a monk and a red mage I actually thought I would get raped but I completed the game by using mostly physical attacks.

Wow, that's the exact same setup I had!

Except it was hard because my Monk and Thief kept getting killed, and my Red Mage couldn't do much of anything


When I replayed on the GBA, I played smarter - Fighter, Thief, Black Mage, White Mage. Soooooooo much better!

[Exdeath]

My first party actually sucked.
Red Mage, White Mage, Black Mage, Thief.
It was the GBA version, and I was on a plane. To California and back to Michigan, the noob I was had to develop a strategy that didn't rely on attacks. I still beat it. GBA is too easy.

[Jessweeee♪]

I read the thread title as "panties."


xD

[Black Magic Shopkeeper]

xD The panties where you blew it?

Yeah, I think my worst panties (party) ever was Black Mage, Red Mage, White Mage and Monk.
I mean wth. Talk about a deathwish. ._.;

>>> Every party that had a black belt was a failure..
