Yes, it's not that hard. it's literally just grinding on PNEOP encounters until level 20 or so, then running from most fights until you get the airship and can get promoted to Wizard, then Agama grinding to level 50, then running from everything until you can kill the remaining two fiends and Chaos.

>> No.6414736

Isn't this kinda boring? It does sound like you'd mostly be grinding in boring safe spots and fleeing in dungeons, because you can't keep magic for very long in a dungeon (unless you flee a lot) and you can't get much use out of the overpowered magic items when you don't have four people around to absorb damage while the items slowly do their work.

I mean it's cool if you succeed.

>> No.6416616

>>6414095
As silly as it is, because you get 4x exp effectively one character runs of almost any class is easier then keeping the full party alive. Especially with Fighter and Red Mage with the ability to use white magic.

No. I decided what class I wanted to play as, and it's red mage. Red mages are valid, not everything is black and white.

Yeah, that's the crux of these "novelty" setups. It's mostly monotony. I've tried a handful of 4x same class runs and I never get past the second or third dungeon. I can only imagine single class playthroughs.

Yes, that's why you should go for the GBA version with increased exp gains.

To be fair this is also how you do FF1 casual playthroughs. In dungeons there's so much shit that can kill you in one round and, unlike later FF games, you don't keep your EXP gains when continuing from a game over, so the optimal strategy is always just to grind on the overworld and run from everything in the dungeons.

I don't think you get to keep EXP after getting K.O.d in any FF, that's more of a dragon quest thing

>> No.6419442

Update: I'm level 23 and wow, the earth cave is really rockin' my G spot. I'm a high enough level to successfully run from most encounters, but that can't always save me from being stunlocked to death by hordes of undead.

After defeating the Vampire, I decided to grind up to level 25 before taking on the fiend of Earth. Lich wasn't tough (I beat him on my first try), but getting to him sure as heck was. I died 14 times in the Earth Cave, and most of those deaths were from being stunfucked by zombies on the second to last floor.

You don't need to post consistent updates on what's happening. That is not what this board is for. If you wish to document your run, feel free to upload the footage to a video hosting website or use a blog to post single images and text like you are currently doing.
I will not ask you to stop posting in this thread as I see no reason why the thread's point of discussion can not be continued. However if you continue to post updates like you are doing now, I will have no choice but to report you to moderation for unnecessary spam.

Played FF1 a few months ago doing a 4 Fighter run. Was pretty fun just rushing through everything killing everything in sight.

Feel the idea of solo is nice but I can't imagine the grinding needed to be worth it.

Not possible. Keep in mind that Chaos casts CUR4 every sixteenth turn, you'll never be able to kill him with one WM using only melee attacks.

>> No.6422103

Yes but normally you'd be around level 15 when fighting Lich, and a level 25 solo character has the same amount of experience as a level 15 party.

That doesn't automatically make their power levels equivalent.

>> No.6422993

>>6422206
True, it doesn't. A solo level 25 character has less HP than a party of four level 15's, and probably isn't doing as much damage per round, but I doubt that was the point you were trying to make. :P
