Oh yeah, I completely forgot that drain bypasses reflect. Good thing that boss is optional.

Awesome. Hope the run goes well. I really enjoyed the run (despite my complaining).

Yeah, it's probably available in a discord server or something. But eventually couldn't be bothered to keep looking.

as the number 1 FF3 enjoyer I say its because it would be agony. for example! first real dungeon of the game you only have access to Blizzard, Sleep, Cure, and Poisona and only the first two can be used by Black Mages. and you would need to give them a bow and arrow in the back row for maximized survival (back row cuts physical damage in half). you can find holy arrows in the castle, but i'm not sure how many (in the PR version arrows are infinite and you only need to equip one but i'm pretty sure you can't split it) one Black Mage would have the single Blizzard you find, which is best saved for the boss since the Djinn's cave is full of undead enemies while the Djinn himself is weak to Ice, you find Wind items to cast ice magic in his cave and the tutorial one (if you didn't use them on the Tortoise which is easy to manage anyways) for big bonus damage (personally I save those for the Fire Salamander at the Fire Crystal but thats besides the point) another would have the holy arrows to deal bonus damage while the other two would have wooden ones (assuming you can't split stacks) so you would have to resort to using potions(for healing and damaging enemies) and arrows to get by until the boss if you want to maximize your damage output against him. Toad and Mini sections also pose a slight problem but toad just requires creative thinking to get around (basically using it, changing the white mage back to black mage and then using Maiden's Kiss to fix the party when you're in the dungeon) and Mini can be easily solved with the Mallet item that lets you cause and cure Mini but since Mini sections require magic damage in the first place its more of a non-issue. this is just a small example and there are surely other issues later in the game (Garuda for example will wipe the party unless you spam Dragoon's Jump) especially since Magic Damage will have a falloff in the second half before you get the Magus job which might not be allowed for the challenge even though its a direct upgrade now that i think about it HP would also be an issue since its the only stat affected by what job you use on Character Level Up and i'm pretty sure Black Mage HP growth isn't good but I haven't checked tbh. the entire playthrough would be a 2-steps-forward 1-step-back ordeal (you get more spells and more ways around spell charges via Staves! but the game's difficulty curve and occasional spikes will rear their heads) and the party would effectively be Glass Cannons that trip over everything

Every Friday!

@@leargamma4912 making fun of a community I thing little of.

Game sucks Ok it isn't a bad game, that's a joke. But ff3 is weird in that it expects you to replace your jobs with objectively better jobs. Unlike ff5 where every job has utility from start to finish

@@megatennepster3833 I mean the Balancing a is a bit rough (only played the DS Remake version which is Notoriously even harder) But still really enjoy it. Figured that it's a Massive blind spot in the series. They probably did attempt it, but failed at some point and cancelled the project cause I believe there is one fight that it basically makes you play Dragoon.

@@megatennepster3833 some jobs have direct upgrades but thats a weird complaint. probably a hold over from the promotion concept in FF1 tho (there was a scrapped third upgrade to the warrior in 3 that would have existed solely to use Excalibur, but they scrapped it which is why you get Excalibur like a few rooms before the better sword Ragnarok)

Would definitely want to do so as a one-off, since blue mage isn't really a class in any other game. Blue Mage is my favorite class.
