This is my favorite party, and my favorite names, for both the NES version (short) and the PS1/GBA versions (long):

: Doma or Cecil
: Edge or Locke
: Rosa or Esuna
: Vivi or Magus

The reason I like this party is that everyone can use magic after class change, and the party is well balanced between physical and magical abilities. I never cared for the Black Belt, because he doesn't gain any new abilities at class change. (He just gets a little stronger.)

My favorite magic-using party:

Red Mage
Red Mage
White Mage
Black Mage

My favorite physical party:

Fighter
Fighter
Thief
Black Belt

The world before the fall...
Delightful is the light of dawn...
Noble is the heart of man...

I'm not kidding when I say this, every version of FF1 I've played (NES, Origins and DoS) I have had an entire team of white mages, and I've beaten the game that way without cheating in any way shape or form... Given it was EXTREMELY difficult, but I did it. Nothing against Black Mage or anything (because he's just great), but Four White Mages, it really can work...

I personally liked

fighter

fighter/black belt

red mage

black mage

although red mage cannot cast as much white magic or as efficently as white mage, i like having another member who can deal some serious damage but who can still heal the team. you do loose spells like heal, which is a biggie, but i beat the game easily with this team.

I usually have either...

Fighter
Fighter
Fighter
White Mage

-or-

Black Mage
Black Mage
Black Mage
White Mage

I like a party with all the same strong points and class, but I always have a White Mage in the party no matter what. That's just.....me!

Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Chrsit for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost

Acts 4:12

Matthew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

I first played this game when i was 3 years old. I went down in my fathers basement, found a box with all his nintendo stuff, along with a broken Nintendo. So, I went yard-salin', and found a working Nintendo for 10 bucks, complete with 10-15 games. Put my dads ff1 in the nintendo, had a 23 knight, 21 master, 19 ninja, and a 15 white wizard. How do you get levels like this?? Anyways, i got a copy myself of ff1 from the Nintendo purchase. So, I made my own save. Tell me how this hits:

Fighter = Dad (for my dad)

Fighter = Dan (my name =P)

R. Mage = Zach (older brother)

B. Belt = Seth (younger brother)

This team took about 3 to 5 hours killing crap around the silver sword town to get 3 of those swords. All three became obsolete soon enough anyways. Then I got far enough and got bored. Put it down and picked it back up months later. I replaced the save with a team as such:

R. Mage = Zach (older brother)

B. Mage = Nate (youngest brother)

W. Mage = Mel (ex-girlfriend)

Thief = Seth (younger brother)

This team was really, really hard to kill stuff with, mainly because my black mage didnt live very long and thief didnt do much damage. Took me about an hour of dying reviving and other various crap before i restarted...again. New team:

Fighter = Dan (me)

B. Belt = Ken (best friend)

Red Mage = Zach (older brother)

W. Mage = Meli (ex-girlfriend)

This team took me almost to the tiger guy when you switch. I'm still working on this team =D Well anyways, theres my teams...

The levels are all exactly the same unless some characters are dead when the battles end. (If you do this enough, the levels will diverge.)

OK this is what I'm most probably gonna pick on my first playthrough...
Warrior
Monk
Thief
Red Mage - because I can have all the other classes and the Red Mage can learn a bit of White and Black Magic. Am I right?

Oh sod it I'm playing FF1 right now!
I've changed my mind...

Warrior - Silver - My name
Monk - Ajax - Powerfull warrrior from Greek mythology
Black Mage - Merlin - Powerful wizard in the story of King Arthur
White Mage - Eir - Goddess of Healing, Norse God. She also has the power to revive

Club Sandwiches. Not Seals.

The team I'm playing with on PSP version, it ruuuules

Red Mage
Monk
Monk
Black Mage

INSANE- VERY low budget on weapons+armor, so more $$ on magic and items (ether!)

The red mage is suprisingly good as a fighter, leading the party, taking hits etc..

if you combine both red and black magic ON the monks, (haste+temper) it kills all.. I've defeated Tiamat in 2 rounds!!! lol

Red Mage
Monk
Thief
White Mage



I always found the other two classes useless. Warrior/Knight gets good armor, but later in the game he can get outdamaged by Ninjas and Masters. Black Mage/BW, despite being useful in the beginning, really sucks in the end. I mean, even a Flare spell can't compare to a Ninja/Master's regular attack.

Red Mage lags behind Monk and Thief for damage, but he can serve as a secondary healer, and is good for support spells too.

Of course, I can always kill off everyone except RM and solo him up until the Class Change to get the other guys to class change at Level 1.

--------------------

FFIVDS looks awesome, right? Especially the character scans. I mean, look at that CGI scan of Yang. You see it and you just think...badass. And then you look at his polka-dot pants, likely stolen from a Dr. Seuss book. And then you just...shiver.

Lol, you're welcome. Note that the Red Mage's stat growth isn't affected at all when you class change, so you're not really doing anything bad to your Red Mage in the process.

XRagnarok

i always used the team of.

a fighter- good all a round

a black belt- after he changes class and is not equiped with anything he is a monster in battle.

white mage- need for healing

black mage- has some good spells for battle

My Party is
Fighter
Theif
Red Mage
Black Mage
The team got me through most of DoS but I lost my cart in Gurgu Volcano


--------------------

Black Mage: A master of destructive magic
White Mage:A master of healing magic
Red Mage: Jack of all trades, masters of none
Blue Mage: Master of enemy skills
Fighter: What the hell is he doing on the list!

Fighter, Monk, White Mage and Black Mage

Fighter fighter black mage black mage.... Endgame with one knight using masamune, and the other using excailbur, if your BM's go first, and both fast/haste the knights first, you can kill Chaos in 2 hits... This can also be done by substituting one Knight for a Master.

think you're a true rp dork - try it live action shifted lands

Or by getting Rid of Both Knights and just use 2 Masters.

Actully its better than having two monks instead of two knights.

If you're playing the original, then it's definitely a BAD idea to use two Masters instead of two Knights. EXTREMELY bad. You will be hard pressed to survive against Chaos.

If you're playing the GBA or PSP versions, then Masters, Ninjas, and Knights are much closer together in usefulness. The big problem with the Master is that it doesn't take hits nearly as well as the Knight, but its damage output is significantly higher.

Depends, IMHO. With two masters you have chances to kill Chaos in the first/second round if one of them crits. (And they crit often for me)

If your main killing force isa masters then you'll need to crush enemies fast, before they can attack you. It IS possible.
