My favorite is Fighter, Black Belt, Red Mage, White Mage.

I felt my Warrior, Monk, black Mage, and White Mage party are effective

I was searching up FF1 party combinations and this thread came up! Was thinking of going with the Friren party: Black Mage, Black Mage, White Mage, Fighter.

Will you be playing with the old magic style or a newer system? Black mage never makes my lists because I find they don't have enough spell slots to last, then their damage falls off hard until you can recover them. Having two in a party can counter balance that some or using the later MP system instead of spell slots.

Would go with pixel remaster which I think is the original spell slot system? I never played it using an MP system.

I think you'll be fine with that party as long as you're not playing the NES version. I generally feel that Black Magic in the first game works best if you simply use the offensive spells for tough enemy encounters and save buff spells for boss battles. Once you start getting all of the spell casting items, their utility expands pretty well. The hardest part will obviously be the early game where spell selection is limited and then late game when survivability becomes an issue.

My favorite party combo is Fighter, Monk, Red Mage, and Black Mage. The game becomes very interesting when you don't have a White Mage safety net and the Red Mage's white spell selection is actually not that great. So the game gets a nice layer of challenge without having to do a four of a kind type deal.
