Four red mages is ridiculously fun. It's just four fighters with slightly lower attack and really low HP but they can all cast haste on themselves and become absolute buzzsaws. The only snag is depending on which version you're playing, Chaos is a nightmare because they can't outheal their constant AOE spam - Chaos seems to have more HP in each release.

Yea, I was playing the pixel remaster and was coasting all the way through, I always fought never ran... and being a veteran of FF since it's very first release I already know how to handle... but when I got to Chaos it was such a BS slog. I was like okay... can grind up some more just to whip the boss but I said forget it. I locked everyone HP at max and full bore nailed chaos. Yes... I cheated... on the last boss. But to run up and go I don't know maybe 100 turns? I was like, is this fight going to end? I just got tired of the heals, item sp restores, resurrection loop. And OMG is the constant hasting Chaos did on himself get stupid even with all buffs on he would one hit for 999 damage. I don't mind difficult... but that is just cheese for the stupidity. And trying to slow/stop him to cancel his buffs just missed so often I got tired of it. Nuke hit for a paltry 400 damage. I have a fond memory of the game... but I really don't think I will play it ever again now.

@@azuremistkingdom *Stares directly into your soul.* Until you specifically state "No equipment spells" I will continue to point out the severe flaws in your planning. There's challenge, and then there's making things needlessly more complicated. You have picked literally THE EASIEST one to win this challenge with, because unlike later games, from how they function they're the best class in the game, even before upgrading class.

A fun fact about Red Mages in the Dawn of Souls release is that their magic level can increase to 6 despite them not being able to learn any level 6 spells. I learned this when doing a single character playthrough of said version. It was the first time I reached the level cap in any Final Fantasy game, and I reached max HP/MP as well.

I was wondering if people were doing challenge runs of the PRs, pleasantly surprised to find someone with actually good quality videos. Thanks mate.

I also didnt use temper or haste on the red mages, so theres a massive power boost I didnt use.

Red Mages are my favorite class in the series. Those spell lists look pretty threadbare at endgame. When I run multiple Red Mages I tend to have the issue of most of them having overly-similar spellbooks because I tend to think of the same spells as good or not worthwhile on each level, always feeling on a Black or White Mage that I have to add something as filler just to fill out the book even if I'll never use it while on the Red Mage I wind up with about 2 must-haves per level, then 2 good spells I want.

Miralith is based off of a Dungeons and Dragons monster which has a nearly identical appearance (and name). That is why she uses a bunch of swords. Same goes for a lot of other monsters.

This might be a fun one. Only Blue Mages in FFV. With all the elemental absorption that enemies have, it's a fun puzzle to sort things out. Love the vid though! Looking forward to more!

Me who love Red Mages since being a child, this run please me 😊

This was very satisfying. I like your sense of humor, too. Well done.

Once again, as with the last challenge run i need to point out. 2 healing helms 1 healing rod 1 giants glove Cast haste on your main attacker With the attack buffed over two rounds on one person, going Giants glove, temper x3, then going haste, temper x3, sets you up for attack, healing rod, and both healing helms. You out pace Chaos.

@@azuremistkingdom Funny thing, in Dawn of Souls the spellcast items seem to be less effective when used by Red Mages than when used by Monks. I wonder if the Intelligence growth is the same in the Pixel Remaster? In the original they were of course a fixed range.

You should focus on doing the Castle of Ordeals before the Volcano. You'll get some good stuff you need, and the battles there are very manageable after clearing out the Ice Cavern.

When you have a source of black magic and melee attacker Temper and Haste are you best bet against bosses. Haste double the number of attacks the you character can deal and temper increases attack power by 14 and stacks. The giants gloves when used as an item casts Saber on the User which increases attack by 16 and accuracy by 10 potentially giving you another attack.

@@azuremistkingdom It was just a tip if you try more runs like this. If you try the GBA/PSP versions Temper and Haste are almost mandatory against the toughest bonus at the end of the bonus dungeons in those versions. There is a reason why Chaos has ten times the HP starting with starting with the GBA version.

I remember when I first played ff1 on my ipod touch many years ago I played with four red mages, coz I thought they looked cool. IIRC I couldn't beat chaos and restarted with a normal party :D That run was the first non-pokemon rpg I'd ever played actually, so this brings back memories.

Red Mage is my favorite class in the game. I love the flexibility.

The church priest is not a necromancer. He is reviving your fallen comrades, not making them undead.

Lol last time I played this game I literally killed every other character off and ran the entire game up to the job promotion with just ONE red mage (to get my other characters optimized stat growths). It was super fun. He was like the “parent” of the party; carrying his kids until they promoted and could carry him in turn.

Great video. I just did an all warrior one and it was interesting too. You can get also special potions at the guy that sells the fairy that can increase your strength, HP, speed, and agility.

You should try and 100% Final Fantasy 1 Dawn of Souls with 1 Red Wizard, that way you can get Exit and get the Masamune and Exit out, then you can get the Ultima Weapon after breathing Death gaze (or whatever its name is on floor 40 of the final optional dungeon), then Haste and Temper up and crush Chaos! You don't have Curaja even as a Red Wizard, but Curaga and some grinding on the Dragon Zombies in the Castle of Ordeals for Megalixirs will help out tremendously for Chaos, not really the boss in floor 40 of the final optional dungeon since once you Blink up 2 times, you can heal up and cast either Protect or Protera a bunch, and then he goes from dealing 700+ damage, to like less than 50 damage, and you have such good magic defense, that it won't really land Dispel and instant death magic on you to one shot you, especially when you're at lv99.

I played it for about 30 minutes a few days ago and its not my thing :( I never played FF on the original console so the UI didn't appeal to me at all.

It really sound weird to hear that mid 30s are low level as the original FF1 had a level cap at 50. Now, GET OFF MY LAWN!

Like...Red Mages are the most powerful character in the game. :P They don't excel in any field, but because they are so flexible, adaptable, and supportive they are ridiculously powerful. Nothing aside bosses will survive each one casting with fir 2, and with 1 round of each casting Invis 2 almost nothing in the game can physically hit them. With each casting a different elemental 'guard' spell (fire,lit, ice and death) each character basically becomes unkillable with magic. and with each casting temper, and haste they all become bad-ass melee'ers after two rounds, or 2 without 1 round. all you really miss out on is some high-end gear, but only equipping them, you can still use all items magical use trait. This isn't a challenge; it's easy mode. xD
