"Four White Mages!? It'll never work!"

"Four white mages? It'll never work." - Black Mage Evilwizardington

Yeah I think Chaos in the remakes of this game has like a 99% chance of hitting you even with max evasion, and I think in the GBA Dawn of Souls version of this game he has good AI, where if you get close to killing him, he'll only go for physical attacks since it does way more damage than his spells and abilities so he won't die likely, and that's a problem if you do a solo character run, but a full party with high levels and high hp, you'll be fine for the most part.

Four white mages? Is this 8 bit theater?

I’ve only recently played this game for the first time, these videos sure are making me want to play it again in the way you are. Great job, mate!!

This was a popular challenge run back in the day! It's SLIGHLTY easier in the post NES versions of the game since you can keep every weapon/item you find. But Chaos in this version of the game is MUCH harder, so it evens out if you ask me. Some masochists out there like to knock out three mages and do a single White Mage run. Those guys are hardcore.

I can CONFIRM, without seeing any of your video, that this is possible. I went through the PR with four White Mages and was able to beat it, though I had to grind to absurd levels since even Holy paired with Masamune doesn't do much damage to Chaos. What helped was giving specific roles to my characters: one had purely offensive spells, one had pure healing, one had pure support, and one was a jack-of-all-trades I used as backup (though I had to give them all Holy). Being able to Silence Astos was a huge help, while the magic items got me through mobs whenever I needed to grind. The Piscodemons in Marsh were a tough fight, so I had to spam Ruse until my characters became untouchable. Otherwise, not too difficult. Edit: oh yeah, I got Ordeals, the Ice Cave, and the Class changes before Marilith.

The Pixel Remaster? Which removes the grind spot at the Western Keep? Absolute madman.

Four white mages? That'll never work.

Keep posting more challenge videos, I watched the black mage run before this one and you're getting better.

finally, a video that scratches the itch of my really niche need for interesting FF1 content that isn't 40 minutes long... lol

I still prefer calling the mindflayer-kin in Marsh Cave "Wizards" - I like the idea that they're evil wizards but don't have any good combat spells so they just wail on you using their (presumably enchanted) staves and wear protective robes.

Now you are ready for 4WM on NES FF1.

Low level, No Class Upgrades, No Holy and No High healing.... Holy shit, FF white mages are the stronger healers of the multiverse?

BM: Four white mages? It'll never work. *much later, four white mages defeat chaos* BM: Damn it.

It took me until the final boss to realize that haste and protect stack, and I found it out of desperation because my characters were under-leveled and I refused to go back and grind. Thankfully, I beat it! It feels like more of an accomplishment when the odds are so against you

Yes, I've done it. Great thing about being a kid and having too much time on your hands and only one game. I learned how to use the heal helmet on all party members, use the bane sword on all enemies. It just took forever and I maxed out if I remember correctly. This was almost 30 years ago.

I wanna play this game again honestly. I can’t help but tear up whenever I hear the opening theme. Good times man. Good times! Keep up the great content! ❤

I cant even beat this withe a normal party this chaos is tough in this version

I just now found your channel while finding some Final Fantasy 1 content! This is so cool to see you play Final Fantasy 1 with 4 of the same class. I saw another video on your channel where you try to beat the game with 4 black mages, and I'm going to dive into that after I watch this video. I think running in the NES version of FF1 is more likely than the remakes, but that's just me since there's a bug in running where if the luck stat is 16+, you have like a 99.9% chance of running except with unrunnable encounters like ZomBulls, Zombie Dragons, Water Elementals if they're by themselves, Earth Elementals, Fire Elementals, Ice Gigas's, etc. I have a video suggestion for you if you'd like: Any chance you'll play the GBA Dawn of Souls version of Final Fantasy 1 with either 4 of the same class, or a single character run? I saw BlueAnkylo do it, it would be entertaining to see you do it. I'm going to go ahead and click that subscribe button! You deserve my subscription. :)

It kinda looks like the white mage is giving the enemy the finger as he casts his spells lol😂

Great video! I think I'm gonna try a white mage run now!

Try four Black Mages. Granted Nuke helps, but not having any healing spells makes the game incredibly more difficult. Four Thieves would probably be the hardest to deal with. On the NES.

They missed a weapon, Thors Hammer

Wow, you did it! Thanks for the video!~

Eccezionale veramente!! Complimenti davvero

The existence of spellcasting helps a lot.

yes op it is possible. it might in fact be the first challenge run ever

Very nice!

what about the red mage, does that exist in this version? Would you be willing to give it a shot?

Yes. It can be beaten with 1 white mage at level 1.

These days, I have a hard time starting up FF1 and *not* choosing 4 white mages. It’s the quintessential challenge!

Did this and they get op late game.

Giants gloves are an obscene item. A master can use that item.... The spell itself is fairly poor. Black wizard has notoriously poor attack. Even with cats claws, I'm not sure it's worth it lol

Now try 4 thieves!

I subbed.

I was hoping for an NES run. Yeah, it's broken af. That's why it's difficult...

Now do it with one white mage

Increíble!!! 🎉

Buddy did you not see the tas at gdq?

Thanks for make

...4 holys

Recreating the nintendo power challenge I see

Only White Four Mages

I did it.

This game was soooo hard

Now do solo white mage

What version is this? Do you have mp or a set amount of spells?

This has been done, many, many times in the past. Try solo white mage.

Yeah, use items. Try 4 thieves no items.

¿Tu hablas en Español, compadre?

I dont understand how can u cast lighting and saber with wg :((

4 white mage isn't impressive, other people have done duo and solo runs

Wow you are skipping huge chunks of the game in this video. Not at all what I was hoping to see..

Just speak your own language at this point.
