    This...

    It's impossible to be level 1 at this/that point of the game! You wouldn't be able to beat the previous bosses. (I don't know like Gizamaluke, not to mention the regular battles you are FORCED into at Evil Forest & at Cleyra.) Skipping battles when you're at low levels is extremly stupid, in fact, pretty much at any time it's stupid to do so. I don't know why you'd do that!
    Thanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com p.s. It's my b-day today!

    It is possible......first of all you dont gain XP from boss battles only AP and the forced battles you just kill off party members and use the chars that are only in the party a short time...i.e. blank marcus etc. Level one Ozma can be done so lvl. 1 tantarian can be done. I did it one disc three before Ozma so i have already doen it.
    Noone can clearly see what I truly am nor can they see what I am not. In this I am the greatest of mysteries and noone has yet been able to solve it. If you see me you haven't seen me. If you don't see me then you might have just seen me. And in the end you are all left to wonder if I actually existed at all or if i was simply a trick played upon your feeble minds.

    I'm actually considering trying to play a Level 1/Excalibur II game, but I don't really care at what point in the game I beat Tantarian, to be completely honest.

    The problem is... you can't get to Memoria at level1. In that weird place in Terra, there's forced battles that you gain EXP from. That's really sad because I really wanted to get to Neo Kuja and Necron with a level 1 party.

    True. I think, however, that all experience gained from the three fights in Pandemonium can be applied to characters other than Zidane (and those characters are not Freya or Quina, so the 9999 attacks remain intact for Ozma and the end of the game). It's a shame that there's no way to Petrify/Stop the creatures, or add something like Virus to your characters. If I keep everyone at Level 1 until that point, and never use the leveled characters again, I would personally count it as a legitimate Level 1 game.

    I've only done a Lv.1 Ozma up to this point, but everyone I know who has beaten the game with a Lv.1 party has done it by dumping the Exp from the forced Pandemonium battles onto Amarant, Steiner, and Dagger, so that way they could have Quina, Freya, Zidane, and Eiko all at Lv.1 for Kuja & Necron.

    "It is possible......first of all you dont gain XP from boss battles only AP and the forced battles you just kill off party members and use the chars that are only in the party a short time...i.e. blank marcus etc."

    Actually, Blank will mess with Amarant's staring level if he gains any himself. The trick to that is resetting until you encounter only 2 Plant Spiders in Evil Forest, so that way everyone gets 11 Exp, which is 5 short of reaching level 2.

    You can level Marcus up as much as you want though, and it can actually benefit Eiko's stats because of a programming bug. I wrote a guide about that if you'e interested, it's on GameFAQs as the "Marcus/Eiko Glitch Guide".

    "Level one Ozma can be done so lvl. 1 tantarian can be done. I did it one disc three before Ozma so i have already doen it."

    You didn't do it on Disk 2 though :P

    Ah, my apologies, I knew you were able to get to the Alexandrian castle library on disc 2, I just had no idea you could fight Tantarian then.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    It depends on your definition of fun I suppose. It can be very frustrating at times but as far as challenge games go I'd say this is one of the best.

    i've begun a lvl 1 game, but i'm stuck....the black waltz and sealion boss....i have read somewhere that if i use the mage masher to attack and the tidal flame attack in trance, i should kill sealion before it can cast tsunami on me(that will kill me). but, the mage masher deals way more damage! and the dagger deals too little damage.... (i've tried to attack all the time, use free energy, but sealion always kill me with tsunami in the end...)so, what am i supposed to do?

    "BOSS: Black Waltz NO.1/ Sealion Hp: 229/472

    This battle is one of the hardest boss fights during your quest. The main
    problem is Sealion. He casts Blizzara on Zedane when his Hp is below 320,
    and Tsunami after his Hp is below 236. These two spells could deal up to 80
    damage on Geta, and with Sealion's agility, Zedane may not be quick enough
    to heal himself. Also, in this early part of them game, auto potion ability
    is not available yet.

    One guaranteed strategy of beating them is by using Dyne attack. Follow the
    tactic listed below and you should be okay.

    --Must have AT LEAST 15+ potions. You can steal them from monsters, and you
    might need more than that.

    --When battle starts, steal MYTHRIL DAGGER from Sealion in every Zedane's
    odd number turn and use potion to heal Geta in his even number turn.

    --Once Zedane trances, use FREE ENERGY to finish Black Waltz NO.1. DO NOT
    USE TIDAL FLAME. It will trigger Sealion using TSUNAMI.

    --After Zedane's trance is over, attack Sealion THREE TIMES (40 x 3 = 120
    damage). DO NOT attack anywhere more than that!!! Heal Zedane only when his
    Hp is at critical stage and cannot even hold one attack. Keep stealing if
    you still don't have MYTHRIL DAGGER yet.

    --Once Zedane trances again, have him use TIDAL FLAME (370 damage) will
    finish Sealion.

    Save the game after this tedious battle."

    SOFTRESET? From our social board? I didn't know you had an account here. Holy mackeral, this place is more popular than I thought.

    I can't really do this challenge right now, but if I could do any FFIX challenge, I'd most likely go with the excalibur 2 challenge at extremely low levels, because Excalibur 2 challenges are just so much fun!

    Thank Hyprophant, she wrote it. If your interested I have a foolproof way of getting the Coral Ring from the Festival of the Hunt in a Lv.1 game, you won't find that in any Lv.1 FAQs and it's a really handy thing to have at that time.
