I wasn't aware they absolutely doubled down on FF3 having the most absurd final dungeon stretch of any JRPG ever. It was already absolute bullcrap with basically 2 full dungeons without a single save point, essentially a boss rush, THEN it even had the gall to make Cloud of Darkness a massive difficulty spike over those other bosses. All without a save point. To be fair though, those HP pools mean very little to having 2-3 Ninjas throwing Shurikens for 9999.

I watched a friend stream this and he grinded for fun a lot when we'd be playing D&D and playing the game as intended with class swapping makes the bosses stupid easy even with the increased HP. The game is really just balanced around swapping classes frequently.

I’m trying something like Starting Equipment only in FF1 Dawn of Souls. I have to 100% the beastiary. The challenge is hard. But congrats on this

Blue jobs only is a fun challenge run I've done

Are you certain that ff12 is the only 3d ff with a job system?

Just finished FF3 PR today. Really disliked how several bosses just spammed aoe attacks over and over, they seemed to often focus the ones with low hp if they did single attacks, they had lots of hp, and turn order seemed random. But oh well. Loved the jobs and sprites. Played the re-imagined version on DS a long time ago. Wanted to experience the original.

Is this the weakest version of red mage in the series history?

You don't need white wind or any magic from control's use to beat the game with blue mages. But honestly it makes it far less of a pain later on so I get why you did it. Edit: wait, you didn't kill 4 of archeoavis's 5 forms with level 5 death? Bummer Wait. You know to half the level of greg and lv5 death him, but not with atomos? Ok this one you might not know. Level 2 old works on exdeath because he is level 66. For each atb bar fill that indicates time passing, a level is decreased on the target. So. Just cast level 2 old on exdeath and then level 5 death him nearly right after. You get Lv2 old in exdeath's castle if not from an enemy in the barrier tower if you wanna use control.

How can a normal rat cast 2nd level spells?

Most of the world 1 fights past megissa can be won by breaking rods. It's so good that I got sad when you didn't break ice rods against purobolos

10:30 : is it a hint for a espers/eons only run ?

I hope for your sake you use the 4x XP while grinding.

Can someone do a only randomness run ? : weapons : axe, hammer, "throw bomber" / skills as "random magic", "clock spell" (Forgot The English Names) / items as "rock" (FTEN), dark matter ?

I thought that was impossible without Sage and Ninja.

And some people say that FF3 is the best among 8bit Final Fantasies :D No good enemy drops except for the onion stuff from late game dragons (in "bad" FF2 you can easily grind ribbons, prorings and Osmose spell), none purchasable (at least in original Famicom version) elixirs and phoenix downs, no tents/cottages whatsoever, toad/mini dungeon bs, and last but not least - there's no way to exit the last dungeon and this is pretty much inexcusable. P.S. Don't get me wrong, I do think that this is solid JRPG for 1990, but there's a lot of negative things to say about this one even comparing to FF1-FF2.

For future runs in case you do pyromancy as well dusk's crown ups magic alingment, at the cost of more damage taken, which also governs miracle and pyromancy damage. There's also permanent hyper mode which involves multiple curses, power within, rtsr and Leroy's shield for health regen. I think there is also another item for regen to make sure you don't die but i don't remember now. Made the comment during your first fight with gwin, and when i finisehd typing you went and got the crown XD

Thanks for reminding me to play the Tactics Advance series again.

I've only played the 3d remake of ff3 on ds, I'll need to actually play the 2d version sometime

I would say that Red Mage is actually the best class until you leave the floating continent, but then it’s usefulness jumps off a cliff. This thought is reflected near exactly as I’d expect it to be in the video. Thank you for your suffering.

Dude you put a lot of effort and research into these videos. When I saw you had under 1000 subs I was surprised, I hope this comment helps you out in the algorithm. Keep up the great work

18:20 I always figured Sage was their replacement job, since like Magus to Black Mage, and Devout to White Mage, Sage functions similarly to Red Mage, being skilled in both White, and Black magics, the only thing really missing is the swordplay.

Alternate title: A gamer’s slow descent in to madness.

Run it back on the ds version

A turn-based RPG with no grid or range mechanic and magic accuracy stats, enabling magic to miss, while the bosses' sprites are tenfold bigger than the party's.... Yea FFII & III were the wacky phase of FF series' development

10:17 there's a ring for that I think. Don't remember which though XD

Ahriman: *uses Curaja* *Glass shattering* *Steel pipe hitting floor* *Extreme fart reverb* Xephrost: OMAE WA MOU SHINDERU

For future reference, in case you're crazy. When you level up, the class you're in will dictate the hp growth and nothing else. So being a viking (or monk) gives the most amount of HP increase.

The way break damage limit would help ff3 is entirely underestimated

Great video 🎉.

It took me a while and several play throughs to conclude that FF3 is actually not even as good as FF1. The design is just off

Loved the video man. The dry hate dripping off your voice was quite entertaining. While I would never recommending coming back to something similar to this (for your own well being), it was a great video!

Needs more dual cast

Unlike FF5 etc in this one Red mages are PURE CRAP in fact I ONLY use them in area's where you MUST KEEP your party under Mini or Toad status even at job lv and party member lv 99 they will NEVER OUTHEAL Particle Beam and while the last boss DOES have a physical hit 99% of the time the boss will NEVER use it and use PB every turn which in the Red Mage job the highest level CURE spell Red mages can use will restore LESS HP then it causes.

Now a Scholar challenge 😂

Okay honestly Xephrost, I am of the opinion that you should NEVER do a job challenge in FFIII. It straight up is misery in those final dungeons. Even if you upgraded red mages for say sages (B&W casting) it is still AWFUL. I have tried similar runs in the DS version and unlike FFV the game IS NOT MADE FOR IT. On top of that imho 3 is by far the single most boring game to play through by a large margin. I am glad you tried this once but honestly I don't feel the need for you to subject yourself through it again.

Welcome to the 80’s

The most important thing about red mages is that they look cool.

FF3 DS with only Red Mages?

Good thing they fixed stuff like this in Final Fantasy V. Right?... Right??? :O

Thanks for sharing the Suffering. And More Suffering

I really love this unique charm that pixel games have.

Hey You’re not backnut buster Took me 9 minutes to realize 😅

RE: Astos. It's an RNG tactic but he is vulnerable to Silence.

Red Mage is my favorite class! I know.. technically the worst. But I loved how you demonstrated their innate versatility!

Honestly this sounds more complicated than my Solo Red Mage playthrough I did when I was a teenager. At least in that I had the comfort of being consistently over leveled since the exp coming in was 4x higher than what was intended.

I can't help it, I love red mages. Any time that's an option, I take it

So…easy mode??

you don't really need those fancy high offensive magic, all you need are haste and temper, and you're ready to face any boss, which makes me think mages in this game are somewhat useless, since you can cast those spells using item with any job

I know for sure that ff8 and ff10 both have blue mages

Red mage is the best class 😎
