So I've gone for a solo challenge which I believe should be fairly easy: A Fighter. I'm playing the NES version because DoS doesn't have any saves free, and I don't (currently) have it on the PSX. Playing without any buff spells courtesy of the Red Mage(s) I usually have could make it kinda hard and I've already died a couple of times, but being able to hold the speedup button on the emulator because I'll never strike an ineffective makes it kinda worth it.
Party:
Fighter - Kill
Black Mage - Dead
Black Mage - Dead
Black Mage - Dead
(Get it? Because I left them dead! Ha ha ha!)
I'm almost at Pravoka, level 5. What level ought I to be to take on those darn pirates? Well I guess I'll find out in about ten minutes or so!
Edit: That was so easy. I don't know why I was worried.
