What should my party be?

Literally that pic.
Anything other than

>Thief
>W. Mage
>B. Mage
is wrong

>>715573284 (OP)
isn't white mage useless or something?

>>715573284 (OP)
Only Black Mage

>>715573284 (OP)
4 Monks

>>715573398
the worst class is thief, all he does is subpar damage and once he turns into ninja his only purpose is to cast haste and then either return to doing subpar damage or spam temper to buff your knight (and that doesn't work if you're torturing yourself with NES FF1 because temper is bugged and does literally fuckall in that version)

Did I do it right?

4 black mages. Use items to heal

>>715573284 (OP)
Knight
Thief
Monk
Red Mage

>>715573284 (OP)
For a first playthrough you probably don't want to use duplicates. Fighter is almost essential as a tank. And you probably want access to all the magic, so you pick white and black mage, and so you don't need red mage. So the only choice is between monk and thief.

If you want a better team then two fighters is an obvious upgrade. And I prefer red mage over black mage.

>>715573284 (OP)
4 monks

Stealing this for my next NES run.
Also, how has nobody mentioned BALS TO THE WALL yet?

Two warriors. Top one gets all the new armor first, second guy gets all the weapons first, white mage, red mage (if on NES) otherwise black mage.

warrior and black mage are mandatory, warrior to tank all the random battles and black mage to nuke/status the more annoying ones fighter can't facetank and you can't easily escape like those piece of shit ghouls that stun your whole party
you want at least one healing guy so either rdm/whm. rdm is better if you're playing NES for some reason but otherwise is a bit of a meme. most of your healing past a certain point will be chugging healing items/tents/the heal staff though
then either thief or monk, ninja gives you a guy that can cast some really sweet buffs on warrior while your other casters are doing something else (or just get them online faster) while using all the hand-me-down warrior gear and is harder to kill while monk just exists to punch people really hard and take lots of damage if he ever gets hit, he also saves you money so you can gear up your other characters faster because after like level 10 you literally remove all his gear and mash the attack button the whole game

TLDR: the meta is 3 warriors and a red mage but that's some corny shit

Haste is worth it though.

I think the GBA port is the best version.
The sprites are cute and exp/gold values were adjusted to match the Wonderswan easy mode so the game is not a total grind.
Also, the UI doesn't look like a mobile app.

I'm partial to the PSP one myself.

It's fine as long as you aren't playing the NES version where tons of shit is straight up broken and doesn't work as intended like the Thief's ability to run.

Warrior
Warrior
Red Mage
Black Mage/Red mage/Monk

If youre min-maxxing, Monk is best past 25 or so, use black mage and red mage for buff spam. Dont really need to minmax in FF1 though, pretty easy game unless you handicap yourself. Max 2 warriors since there are only 2 really good swords in the game.

My go to build is
Warrior
Monk
Red Mage
Black Mage

Not intentional, but I wonder if that was because of the Duane and Brando video?

Based

When did Final Fantasy get "Blue Mage"?

Monks are based as fuck. I had a fighter, monk, black mage and red mage.
