Your firsty party

[Bunny]

My first party consisted of Fighter, Black Belt, White Mage, and Black Mage. I liked the idea of simultaneously (sort of) stabbing, punching, bludgeoning and blasting enemies to smithereens.

[Pop Frank Socket]

Mine was something retarded because I was eight and didn't know what I was doing. I think two fighters and two red mages or something.
I made it to Garland, died and never let him forget about it since.

[Beowulf]

First time through was Fighter/Thief/Black Mage/White Mage.

Now I started playing it again, on the GBA, and I just use Monk/Monk/Monk/Monk.

[Tokimadoushi]

Fighter/Red Mage/Black Belt/White Mage.

Can't go wrong

[Rase]

Fighter/Red Mage/Black Mage/White Mage.

[Realm25]

Ah the good ol days. I went through with a Fighter Fighter Thief Red Mage.

I enjoyed that combo, used it a lot too.

This time around however (GBA version) I'm doing Fighter Monk Thief White Mage.

[LoneSwordsmanAuron]

Fighter , Black Belt, Black Mage and White Mage.

The weird thing is, when i used a walkthrough for my second playthrough the guy said that Black belt was the worst class, even though mine was better than my Fighter.

[theundeadhero]

Was it the Dr Unne guide? Smart people are always picking on the big guys. A Master is way more useful than a Ninja or Black Wizard.

[Beowulf]

Some people will argue about Masters being a poor class because of their lack of abilities, and lack of equipment. Starting off in the beginning, sure, they might die a bit. Later on in the game, though, they tend to be the best class from what I've found. Speedy, and do a hell of a lot of damage? Win.

I was about 3 when I had this game. So that's about 17 years ago. But! I still remember. My dad gave me his old NES and a big BIG cardboard box full of NES games. I discovered quickly my favorites were Final Fantasy, SMB1&3, LoZ and Dragon Warrior. I never had any idea what was going on, but I picked them anyway. So the file that was on the FF cartridge was actually my dads. So by proxy, they were mine. His party, before I screwed up and didn't know how the hell to beat Garland (because I was dumb and couldn't figure out how to equip items) was the typical Fighter, Red Mage, White Mage, and Black Mage. (The party I prefer now is that too actually.) I couldn't remember what his characters names were, but I remember that the Black Mage was Phil. The names I choose now are Clyd, Sean, Toni, and Vivi. For reasons I will leave unsaid.

I had a similar experience. I was dumb when I was little I couldn't equip things, and I didn't know what the hell a "party" was. So I had all Fighters once, all named AAAA.

Red Mage, Thief, White Mage, White Mage

Don't know why I picked these but I did.. have to get back to this game soon.

[Carnage-]

My first party was about a couple of months ago. It was at some shady kid's place, apparently he's known for starting up at random parties. I thought it was a BYOB so I ended up bring a 2-4, but man was I wrong. The kid had so much beer at his place it was kinda ridiculous, so I ended up just leaving it there.

Anyway, as soon as I got into the place one of my friends is all like "Yo Andrew, wanna have a shots challenge b? I just pulled out a bottle of some piss warm vodka from this kid's bar." " yeah man, I'm down." So we pulled up two chairs and started downing this nasty . First three shots were alright, then the next three I almost puked after every single one of them. My friend was a smurfin' machine and downed like 8 before puking all over this kid's carpet. Me, wanting to show up my friend and gain some rep at my first party, I pulled it together for the next three shots and held my ground. Then a few guys who were just chillin' in the back were all like "Yo, good brah! Wanna smoke a doobie with us?" "smurfinnnnn...yeah sure whatevs man."

Then I smoked a doobie with them, and the vodka finally hit my liver. I started puking like crazy outside and it hurt like smurf. "Yo man, have a beer that might helpp!" yelled some randy ass kid. I took it and downed like half of it and started to feel it ease up my stomach a lil' bit. Then the guy who's place it was came up to me and started talking and was all like "Dude, all you've done since you got here is caused two people to puke and ruined my smurfing carpet. Get the smurf out." Me, dazed from just puking and still kind of tipsy, just replied "Fine, whatever b." So I called a cab and rode home, where I realized I forgot my 2-4 there.

And that was my first party.

[Levian]

Fighter/x/BLM/WHM

Not sure what the x was, probably a Black Belt. I tried to balance things as much as possible without knowing exactly how useful each job were.

[Loony BoB]

I also can't remember, but it was probably Fighter/Thief/White Mage/Black Mage or possibly Fighter/Red Mage/White Mage/Black Mage.

[Raistlin]

Fighter/Thief/White Mage/Black Mage. I appreciate the balance, but I soon realized Fighter/Fighter/White Mage/Black Mage would be stronger. Thieves are pretty useless.
