Black Mages Only: Final Fantasy 1

Ойындар

I've decided to compare the experience of doing a Black Mages only playthrough in Final Fantasy games. This means I need to do a black mages only run in some Final Fantasy Games. That starts this week with Final Fantasy 1.

    So with each iteration of FF1, while they do various things to balance (mostly making easier) the rest of the game, Chaos tends to be harder. My headcanon is that this is intentional, and each game is an iteration of the time loop where Chaos wins, and gets stronger.

    Every turn based RPG series has a point where the game turns on me.

    Maybe you could add a FF6 challenge with only black magic (as soon as you unlock Espers)

    So the thing with this version of the game is that they used the boss stats from the PSP version but didn't include the GBA/PSP extra content. So what this means is that you're somewhat expected to have much more powerful stuff to fight Chaos that simply don't exist in this version. By comparison, in the NES version he has all of 2000 HP.

    From what i Figure you were expected to do at least the first two bonus dungeons before Chaos as most of the equipment loot there is worse than late game equipment in the base game. Also MP also made bosses easier as you could spam your higher level spells easier.

    You should do this with all white mages too, in honor of the 8 Bit Theater joke

    That was classic challenge run even before that joke was made. Sullla and few other people have done Solo White Mage on the NES version.

    No FF3 Black Mage only? It *is* doable by using items for the Toad and Mini spells

    I actually just remembered that the final boss just spams particle beam the entire fight which would be challenging/obnoxious to deal with without good healing. I didn't even think about the mini/toad sections. Good to know that items can get through those sections for potentially including FF3 in future series.

    I dont think its possible because ff 3 has bosses that only can be beaten by certain jobs i think?

    That's actually a good question. I know there are a lot of bosses that you SHOULD use certain jobs against. But I don't recall any that you have to use a certain job.

    Im surprised you are saying how grindy this game is. I started playing final fantasy and started with one and could get trough without much trouble (given i didnt have 4 black mages so money was probably more leniant) im also only at the mermaids a level 35 so maybe itll get worse.

    It's really noticable with the difference between the gold enemies drop versus cost of spells. So some amount of grindiness is affording things. Which will depend on how many mages you have (and having to buying healing items when you don't have a white/red mage doesn't help).

    I see no reason to not use boosts from the beginning if it mainly reduces the grind. There's no reason to pointlessly waste your time if you don't want to. Just my two cents for future videos :D
