Final Fantasy was the only game my dad really enjoyed. He used to play it and I would watch. He must have gone through that game... I dunno, ten or twenty times at least, and each time with a different party. Once was with 3 fighters and a red mage... man that went weird. Expensive too... but it required the least levelling.

I've having a hard time though with this party I've got right now. Level 32 or something, Ninja, Red Wizard, White Wizard, and Black Wizard, and I can't beat Tiamat in the Temple of Fiends.

The game is awesome. Try it on the NES. Or if you don't want to go through the effort, just get it on an Emulator. Thats pretty easy to do. And the game is nearly 20 years old. I don't think Square or Nintendo would be losing any money off of that.
