Did we ever agree what the best party was?

>> No.10840164

Yes, it's four white mages.

>> No.10840178

Fighter / Black Belt / Red Mage / Black Mage

Two Fighters also works but gets expensive to gear them, plus there's lots of great weapons that you only get one of them, so the 2nd fighter is always be worse equipped, though that's not too much of an issue

>> No.10840184

The best party is the party you choose when you play the game for the first time while being twelve years old.

>> No.10840202

this
Thief is just garbage all around and his main "skill" doesn't even work properly
White Mage is okay but has pretty much zero offense and you can just do all of your healing out of combat with potions. Their only real benefit is the HEL spells to heal your whole party at once in a pinch. Outside of that they're crap.

>> No.10840537

>>10840178
The 2nd best fighter is still going to be really strong. It's not too expensive to gear them and its fine to give the 2nd fighter hand me downs. Its the 3 fighter build that gets stretched too much. 3 fighters and a red or white mage is probably the easiest play through.

>my shitty opinion = chad
you probably don't even realize the irony of a nerd putting so much importance into "'chads", all you're doing is showing you don't like yourself and comforting the opinion of idiots with the IQ of 100 who spend all their time between gyms and clubs to fuck whores who are as dumb as they are, who then proceed to think they're above everyone else.

by the end of the game I never used the magic from my black mage or my white mage, I would exclusively use healing and damage magic from weapons. The only magic I would use from a white mage is revive. I would unironically use this team if I could get through the early game easily

Anything with more than one Fighter will brutalize anything. My favorites are a combination of Fighter, Fighter, Fighter/Monk/Black Mage, and Fighter/Red Mage/White Mage.
Fighter just werks, top tier, if you don't lead with at least one you are crippling your party, but you will get diminishing returns by a third one so you might wanna spice it up.
Monk is no physical slouch either, but only if you intend to grind, his promotion is also useless.
Red Mage is in most use-cases the best mage, and it's nice to have a slot than can do a bit of everything when you need it.
Black/White Mages are more situational and the above tends to have to babysit them, plus they're the most expensive classes if you deck them out.
Thief just sucks and is smelly, sorry, even a Ninja won't be better than a third-rate Knight.

>> No.10844201

>>10840160
its a shame the thief sucks so much ass
the ninja is actually really good, its just not worth dealing with the thiefs useless ass for half the game

>> No.10844208

>>10844123
i never liked doing the multiple fighters
its diminishing returns on each one, since you can only ever have the top gear for one. and the extra bulk doesnt help as much since the second slot already only gets hit 75% as much, then 50% for 3rd slot, then 25% for last

id rather the black belt with his low overhead and high DPS for my second slot, then magic for the last two

I did the math ages on this ago, but at least according to the NES original's battle formulas - from what I remember - a Knight with his fourth-best equipment will still statistically outperform a Ninja with his optimal equipment. I think later versions might nerf Knight and buff Ninja, though.

RM is kuso because he can't cast TOP SPELLS. BM and WM are a given, and so is a warrior. That leaves one slot, if you do a western run you pick thief, if you do an eastern run you pick the black belt.

yea, if someone is casual I absolutely recommend they just do 3 fighters and 4th anything really. Play how you want, but some people aren't looking for exploring the learning curve or a challenge. The game is significantly harder doing 3 fighters vs 3 thieves.
