First party was my classic Fighter/Thief/White Mage/ Black Mage. I was kinda dissapointed at how easy it felt, but overall it was very enjoyable.

My current one is Fighter/BlackBelt/Red Mage/White Mage. It's a little harder than the other and the Red Mage, while better than FFI, still seems to be dragging.

Plan on doing a Thief/White Mage/ Black Mage/ Black Mage once I beat Chaos with my current party.
