So I'm playing Final Fantasy 1 for some light critique and examination (for reasons). Goin' in with a party of Fighter, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, because I have no reason to believe the Thief does anything and the Red Mage is presumably sorta gimped. Could be way off on that, but that's the vibe I got from their descriptions. Not really sure how the Monk and Fighter are different either, to be honest, but hopefully I'll find that out while playing.

First order of business and the reason I'm making this post and taking notes: Battle diversity. I'm gonna record all the different battles in the first zone and what I had to do to beat them to see what sort of variety I'm dealing with. I've already done a couple battles, screenshot included, but we'll get to that in the next post. You ready? 'cause I'm ready. Booyah.

Well, crap. I turned Josef into a toad (just for practice) but I forgot esuna doesn't work on that effect, so I have to drop 500 gil on a Maiden's Kiss to change him back.

Since I gave Sakaki a spear instead of using her pre-programed bow proficiency, and since Gordon is a self-admitted coward, I'm sticking him in the back and making him the team bowman.

Only problem is it's tricky to build up his HP, since enemies don't usually target him and having my own party members attack him to level his HP will kill him in one hit.

I 1-hit killed the Behemoth in the Coliseum (the white magic teleport spell is pretty useful when sufficiently leveled. Even against bosses), but that chickenshit Emperor ran away like a pussy.

Now, the difficulty spikes with the baddies in the dungeon.

Got Ultima (RIP, Minwu).

Dang, I forgot what a pain leveling that spell is. I only got Holy a little while before and it's doing three times the damage than ultima does after two hours of grinding.

Part of me is feeling glad I've never gotten too far in 2.

2 is one of those merciless difficulty games that beating is a satisfying badge of honor,
like Contra and the Ninja Gaidens. True, the fights are pretty easy with enough grinding, but even then, it's easy to be caught off guard by the difficulty curve. Like I said, I 1-hit killed the Behemoth boss, and the very next fight, in the Coliseum Dungeon, three of my guys got turned to stone on the first hit and only Sakaki's magic defense level kept her alive. She then got hit by stop, which stunned her for several turns and barely survived to take out the enemy mages and get some breathing room to heal and revive the others.

Ricard is quite a badass.

The first Dragoon in the series. Kain from FFIV and Cid from FFVII are both based on him.

He goes out like a badass on par with Galuf or Tellah.

I've got him learning Axe, Bloodsword and the Drain and Osmose spells to help him survive in the afterlife.

Does he stomp a hole in the main villain's ass even after he's technically dead through the power of love alone?

Then no, he's not as badass as Galuf.

I love Final Fantasy V.

The heroes who died have banded together to fight the Emperor's forces in the Afterlife.

This mode is damn near impossible without a crapton of grinding and getting your underpowered ass handed to you and having to restart.

You've got to admire the spirit (no pun intended) of these people.

They're trapped in what may be hell, under siege from hellspawn and they persevere and set up a nice little village complete with a pub and inn.
