Last fight ended with 8 HP left! I remember the feelings of accomplishment of finishing this game when I was 15. That was over 2 decades ago and that will stay with me forever
This is my favorite FF series simply because it was the first rpg i've ever played back in the 80s during my golden years as a 9 year old kid. It takes me back to those nights when my parents were gone and i was all alone in a big, scary house. This game kept me ignorant of being alone and afraid as it filled my dark, chilly room with magic and warmth as i played this game underneath my blanket propped up by the 16" analogue tv. I would trade everything i have to relive those wonderful days again.
I agree with you. Final fantasy make my top 10 on the nes. The replay value is even better than ff4 since you can choose so many combination of light warriors. I really love ff4 anyway.
Im 35, just played the game for the first time (i owned a SEGA Mastersystem), i played for 6 days & 4 hours a day to beat this game, and DESTROYED this game with ease. Went Fighter + Fighter + Red Mage + Black Mage. Protips: -You can grind gold & exp vs Orges around the 'Melmond' city area. -Use the Wizard's Heal Staff near the end of your battle to heal your party to save gold instead of using heal potions. -Cast 'Fast' at the START of your battles on each of your Fighter class heroes to do DOUBLE damage EACH strike!
You can try a solo fighter run if you want sometime and you will be able to judge the pros and cons. For example, you can level faster, take less dmg, sell more weapons & armors for gold etc but you get less turn and are always outnumbered plus instant death enemies can be rough until you get the instant-death protection armors. Everything that basically stun you become the strongest enemies in the game (stronger than chaos or any bosses). Geists, ghouls, images, oddeyes, crawls and wraith...
Stands up and slowly begins to clap.Major kudos to you,I enjoyed the whole 4 hours and 3 minutes,not skipping anything.FF1 is my ALL time favorite FF game,if it wasn't for this,no FF would be possible.Very underestimated game,but worth all our time.Again,congrats,and thank you. 😂😂👏👏👏
This was a tough game as a kid in 1990. Anyone remember a Nintendo Power Strategy Guide to get through this game? I remember how challenging it was to canoe through the rivers and to get through the caves to find the thing to raise the Airship, and then get back.
Very nice run through the game, I enjoyed it! It explained some questions I had about where & how certain special items are to be used. This is one of the best RPGs for the classic NES, just as much fun as Dragon Warrior is.
I think I'm 38, can't remember 2020 is nuts, but I just stumbled across this for the first time ever. My first final fantasy game. Love it, are the rest as good? Not new to gaming just this game was always a die hard zelda fan and still am. Just growing up I didn't play these types. I needed to swing a sword, lol. Guess I don't have to wait for part two, probably came out 30 years ago. I have gamed in years, due to 2020 and no life me and the girl got a Nintendo preloaded with some fun easy games we could play while we watched the world just get crazier and crazier. I'll tell you this if the world needs me to save a princess in December, I'm good, that I can handle. Just call me link and I'll be rocking Christmas carols on my ocarina of Time. You never know! Big help this dudes walk throw I haven't fought an end duder in years. Yeah I said end duder, that what we called them in the 80's and 90's. Now I'm getting my ass whipped in 2020 by a game as old as me. Don't get old, I'm like my dad now this shits hard. I need walkthroughs and cheats, I'll can still kick an ass so go easy on me lol. For your own safety lol. Have fun playing in 2020 and if there's a 2021.
Hope you've made it around to playing the rest of the old ones with the Pixel Remasters! Or any other versions really but I'm loving the new remasters.
Can you believe that the vampire become harder than kracken when you play with a solo fighter>? Well its true because they both hit hard when you meet them in the game but the big difference is, you can have kracken attack completely stop by casting defense 3x time in battle. Just use the defense sword in combat. With a solo fighter, you don't even have anything yet to raise evasion % in battle against the vampire.
Down to 8HP at the end. Whoa that's about as close as I would ever want to cut it!!! Very nice job but there'd be now way that I'd ever try to make it with only one player just to save time.
Very cool bro. Beat this game like ten times on NES and PSP. Never thought to do it like this. You can level up to the max at beginning of game eh. FF4 and this game are my favs.
Enjoying this video, i can`t help but wonder how you NEVER got PARALYSE , STOPP or ERASE a single time. I`m playing this for the first time right now on my old NES, and it happens to me all the time. Is it a hack or something? Seems extremely unlikely to never get a KO, when enemies who deals it appears so frequently.
Played through this game a while back, not the biggest fan, but I can totally respect it. I didn't like it much, but I understand why others liked it. The music was great though.
Not really a no deaths playthrough... More like no game over. Still pretty amazing when I remember that darn earth cave. Amazing to make it through there with no game over.
I din't made sub 4-hours on the first try but after practicing for about a month, i finally beat it under four hours. The best advices i can give you is to continually cast ruse until the enemies don't hit you anymore (invs2 later in the game). Cast mute on the spell-casters and afir alit aice to counter the elemental magic. Harm will take care of the undead. Fade will be the ultimate reward at the end of the game and don't forget to cast xfer to removes an enemy's special defences. Expect a lot of 1 dmg hits...
I remember playing this game in the 1980s and I didn’t know what the heII it was or what to do and I remember we were laughing at that red guy when he walks because it looks like his butt is showing.
The Eye is probably better to use as a easy way to gain experience points to level up. That one spot where you run into an Eye each time. It would be a little quicker than killing that Agama over and over around 3:30:00 Edit: never mind. I see what you did there.
I still don’t get how you managed to get so much ogres at the start. Everytime I go there I get the wolves or the imps, you get ogres like all the time.
I am your big fan, I usually start this vid on low volume whenever I find difficulty in sleep, and this video makes me so relax that I cannot explain in words. nes is my first love, and i still love 8bit graphics over ps4 and pc. I have never played FF in my childhood but I am much interested now. and I am planning to start this game on my smartphone emulator, So just a small question, is this really a turn based game ? what if I am late on pressing a button, and I cannot multi tap in a fight.. would that skip my turn to hit an enemy ? please reply, because you know... buttons dont feel real on smartphone screens.
So, I keep hearing how amazing this series of games are. I like to stay true to a franchise and play everything it has to offer. Like straight from game one. How should I play these games? Are the first 3 on the NES? Continued on the SNES, PSX... etc? I want to go balls deep into these games.
Hey i just saw your hyborian kingdom playthrough ...is this available on a cartridge or download... I would like to play it... I just recently finished shin zelda no densetsu i got that one on a cartridge.. Its hard as hell and has a few glitches but not bad at all... I hope i can play your game too
Thanks>! After you beat the ice cave, the game become less linear and you can basically go where you want. I had fun switching the order of the dungeons and the fiends. Beating kracken before kary saved me quite a lot of time.
how the hell did they manage to fit that into a nes. i'm currently developping an rpg with no game engine and my game lags twice as much with 2 times less things. without even counting the memory leaks
im about to play this game for the first time, what is the advantage of no revive strategy u are doing here? Is this how a pro would play thru the game?
Pros & cons: You can level up faster, you can take less damage because its can be filter through a solo fighter with high level of defense, you have a lot more stuff to sell for extra gold and you have a lot less to buy. Cons: You get less turn, you are always outnumbered in battle, instant death and paralysis enemies become the strongest foes in the game since you are alone. You will see what i mean eventually when you play the game.
For a experience gamer with this game like me, its easier with just one but since you are playing for the first time, i recommend that you play with the most easiest party combination of four light warriors: 1 fighter, 1 black belt, 1 white mage and 1 black mage. That the recommend party for beginners by square enix in the game manual.
I’m a big adventure time fan, and I was wondering if Cartoon Network took inspiration of the lich the fiend of the earth to make their own villain or its just a coincidence But I mean they look the same so maybe not
While I want to believe, I do struggle with every stun/paralyze immediately wearing off as if it were nothing. Also no stone that would immediately end the conquest.
When it works it's faster but it's also easy to get a game over with nothing you can do about it. Stone, paralyse, death magic etc. So it's not "marathon safe".
Happy to keep you entertained. This is a list of the easiest boss to the hardest for this run: 1: Zombie Dragon 2: Eye 3: Kary 4: Blue Dragon 5: Garland 6: Illithiad 7: Kracken 8: Tiamat 9: Vampire 10: Lich 11: Astos 12: Chaos
Man, the grinding process of this Game is so boring and annoying. I spent 3 days grinding in only one spot in the game, and it was no fun at all. The game is too good to stop, but too boring to enjoy
Without monster animations and an ability to just skip boring(not all) fights FF1-6 are almost completely unplayable games for me, sadly. At least FF3 and FF4 has a 3d remakes where most of those problems were fixed. Note, that I did actually beat the FF1 and FF3 on PSP, so I'm more or less familiar with this game. It is really good, yes, liked it a lot overall(despite all my frustration) but I can't understand how can someone play such an action oriented RPG with those issues that i just listed earlier. To me it really sucks that people like you are ok with this... You see, for SE it means that they can spend next to no money on these re-releases and still got YOU covered, but not me. FF1 has more than 5 ports and every single one of them is a pretty low budget conversions with almost all problems remains intact... I just hope that at least 30th Anniversary will finally motivate SE to create another FFOrigins remake and finally spend some adequate money on it. Romancing SaGa 2 remake was already an inspiring step to the right direction and hopefully all classic FF will got even better treatment someday. But whatever - great playthrough, man.
What rpg would you have played in 1989-1990>? Where you even born at that time>? My questions to you...You would have probably did the same thing as us, the kids of the 80s. You would have played final fantasy, dragon warrior, crystalis, destiny of a emperor, mother, zelda ll or willow etc. The rpg games were very limited at that time and those were the best rpg we had. There were also inferior rpg like ultima, the bard tale, ghost lion or wizardry. etc We played the best one that was on the market at that time. Remember that you would not be able to play final fantasy 7 and above in 1990 so logically, the best rpg of my generation are the one that really mark our childhood (people who are around my age). I also love final fantasy 7 and above a lot even if the 3-D graphics were at a early stage and some of the polygons graphics suck (like cloud square arms) but in fact, almost all the ff games are good or at least decent. My goal was not to start a fight between the old generation and the new. Anyone has the right to prefer what they want. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it.
Sqaresoft and Enix could have afford an animated enemies even back then in late 80s and hardware limitation has nothing to do with this. It was just quantity over quality, man. Instead of creating so many variation of monsters(FF3 has like 100 unique enemies...why?) they could have reduced the number of their types and use their time and resources on the animation. Just like Sega and Capcom did in their Phantasy Star and Brave of Fire series. But they stubbornly did the opposite(until 1995), thanks to the lack of any criticisms from people like you and game press. In-fact there are a couple of NES and Famicom JRPG with animated enemies and some of them were released in 80s. Some of them also even allow you to simply skip or exit the fight faster than DQ and FF do. I really don't like the repetitiveness of encounters with average enemies and lifeless combat in which I have to imagine something that was supposed to be just showed to me by the devs. Yeah, IMO even a shitty 1-2 frame animation is better than nothing at all. It would have been tolerable if devs at least used a text boxes with full descriptions of enemies behavior, but they never did. Even manual has nothing! Less combat in general could have helped too, but again - it was never the case with this genre. it's not about graphics. I don't care if it 2d or 3d, or how good/modern it looks in general. I just can't deal with these stuff anymore, my FF1 PSP bored me to no end and I really don't want to experience the same frustration again. imgur.com/Yk0hpUS This is my animation. Made it in less than an hour and I'm not even a proper artist. Such a big deal...
I think you're focusing way too much on a little visual detail *that don't even change anything to the core of the game*. You don't like rpg games without animation, we get it...We had hundred of games with animation on the system, if we wanted to play games with animation we just play mega man or contra etc.The story was awesome for 1990, the graphics were excellent, the game was also well-balanced, you could also choose between hundred of different combination of different party (you can't do that in zelda II and the game has animation). If you don't like rpg games that has no animations, just don't play them, that all. Simple as that. I will keep playing rpg with or without animation (i like both). *Animation is not what a make a rpg good or bad*.
How the hell did you read my post? I've stated that my problems with these games could have been solved by design decisions, artists input is not necessary.

Very true. I started playing again myself.

My favorite Final Fantasy game next to 6! Good job! I love the end stages, they were so frickin difficult.
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well

Idk about destroying it with ease lol playing a campaign for almost a week at 4 hrs a day
He says in the comment section of a video showing it done in 4 hours total lol
Ogres, not orges 😂
First time i am seeing this "no revive" strategy, cutting away 75% of combat time.
You can try a solo fighter run if you want sometime and you will be able to judge the pros and cons.

I guess Kirk, Anya, and Onyx were on the "Do Not Resuscitate" list. It was good of Kaor to honor their wishes.

I love the NES sound effects rather than the remake versions of the games, not only the FF, i think the reason is simple, made with pure love.
Very cool bro. Beat this game like ten times on NES and PSP. Never thought to do it like this. You can level up to the max at beginning of game eh. FF4 and this game are my favs.
You like Demons Souls too eh?
Yup yup. Fav game on PS3 next is Dragon's Dogma.
ff4 is so fricking good
The early battle theme was used for the Blue Mage reveal. ruclips.net/video/jMJ3oGF2SJM/видео.html
This looks much more challenging than the modern remakes .
Enjoying this video, i can`t help but wonder how you NEVER got PARALYSE , STOPP or ERASE a single time. I`m playing this for the first time right now on my old NES, and it happens to me all the time. Is it a hack or something? Seems extremely unlikely to never get a KO, when enemies who deals it appears so frequently.
I have feeling that this is edited there's no way u can beat a boss 1 on 1
Played through this game a while back, not the biggest fan, but I can totally respect it. I didn't like it much, but I understand why others liked it. The music was great though.
10:10 Wait, how'd you find an Ogre in that spot? I thought the glitch was at the northwest peninsula? You can also fight Giants there.
This whole run is based off being fed Ogre's there. Not sure which emu version he's playing here, but mine certainly doesn't feed ogre's there.
Not really a no deaths playthrough... More like no game over. Still pretty amazing when I remember that darn earth cave. Amazing to make it through there with no game over.
I'm planning on recording a solo white mage run, any guidance or recommendations would help. Congrats on sub 4-hours!
I din't made sub 4-hours on the first try but after practicing for about a month, i finally beat it under four hours. The best advices i can give you is to continually cast ruse until the enemies don't hit you anymore (invs2 later in the game). Cast mute on the spell-casters and afir alit aice to counter the elemental magic. Harm will take care of the undead. Fade will be the ultimate reward at the end of the game and don't forget to cast xfer to removes an enemy's special defences. Expect a lot of 1 dmg hits...
If you are playing the NES version, XFER doesn't work BTW so don't waste space or gold on it.
I remember playing this game in the 1980s and I didn’t know what the heII it was or what to do and I remember we were laughing at that red guy when he walks because it looks like his butt is showing.
The Eye is probably better to use as a easy way to gain experience points to level up. That one spot where you run into an Eye each time. It would be a little quicker than killing that Agama over and over around 3:30:00 Edit: never mind. I see what you did there.
Tiamat ... close call - I think way back when on maybe like my second playthru like nearly 30 years ago, did the bane sword work-
I still don’t get how you managed to get so much ogres at the start. Everytime I go there I get the wolves or the imps, you get ogres like all the time.
Holy crap, solo challenge
So how do you feel about the 20th anniversary version on the psp?
Why didn’t you revive your other characters?
MrJimmy78102 Sandoval I’m wondering the same thing.

So just a small question, is this really a turn based game ?
what if I am late on pressing a button, and I cannot multi tap in a fight.. would that skip my turn to hit an enemy ?

Good stuff brah!
Thanks>! After you beat the ice cave, the game become less linear and you can basically go where you want. I had fun switching the order of the dungeons and the fiends. Beating kracken before kary saved me quite a lot of time.

This is awesome!!
Around 47:07 - I'm surprised Astos just stood there and let you kill him. He hardly put up any fight at all.
All of my playthroughs I get rubbed
Why is the thief so hated in this game?
No deaths looks like we already got 2 mages dead
found this video on the 24th, interesting
How is that interesting? Just wondering
im about to play this game for the first time, what is the advantage of no revive strategy u are doing here? Is this how a pro would play thru the game?
Pros & cons: You can level up faster, you can take less damage because its can be filter through a solo fighter with high level of defense, you have a lot more stuff to sell for extra gold and you have a lot less to buy. Cons: You get less turn, you are always outnumbered in battle, instant death and paralysis enemies become the strongest foes in the game since you are alone. You will see what i mean eventually when you play the game.
Yes, playing with a solo light warrior is considered more advance and more pro than playing with a party of four.
Ty!
Easier to beat the game with 1 hero or 4?
For a experience gamer with this game like me, its easier with just one but since you are playing for the first time, i recommend that you play with the most easiest party combination of four light warriors: 1 fighter, 1 black belt, 1 white mage and 1 black mage. That the recommend party for beginners by square enix in the game manual.
i almost want to say "dead party members" but goddam
serious how so lucky on the random encounters also?
Out of heals and chaos to go....
Is this game on switch?
No but it is on the small nes with 30 games built in.
I was hoping Dragon Warrior would have been as well
I liked playing the game with 4 warriors.
I’m a big adventure time fan, and I was wondering if Cartoon Network took inspiration of the lich the fiend of the earth to make their own villain or its just a coincidence
But I mean they look the same so maybe not
Lucky not to get and ice dragons in temple of fiends... as soon as I typed.... u were able to run?!??!? What?!?
how the kid becomes an "adult" is this game is unique.. any other game that do that?
I played this game 3 times!!!
Kraken... no magic abilities all of a sudden?
I really liked this part, but the final boss is very difficult (
I never considered this strategy. #MindBlown
7:01
Do you have ff2?
Lol 8 hp and finish him off... what are the lotto numbers?
Wish Nintendo would bring it to nes online.
I don't feel bad paying for the remake on Android. 🙌
Pretty sure this is a hacked rom.
While I want to believe, I do struggle with every stun/paralyze immediately wearing off as if it were nothing. Also no stone that would immediately end the conquest.
Wow, is this the only FF game you can solo like this?
So this is what my dad grew up on.. man this soundtrack is better than FinalFantasy14 lol
Why do i never have the 4 hours it takes ....
Where is chaos?!!! Chaos!!
1:40:42
I think the no death thing is misleading.
ghosts??? htf?!?!
This is either edited to make look like u beat this or u used cheats not sure which one cause this is impossible
Cool
why the hell did you leave 75% of your party dead?
I guess he did it in order to save time (three less turns).
ah
When it works it's faster but it's also easy to get a game over with nothing you can do about it. Stone, paralyse, death magic etc. So it's not "marathon safe".
How are you so strong ;-;
I had literally nothing equipped
Sweet bro.
Happy to keep you entertained. This is a list of the easiest boss to the hardest for this run: 1: Zombie Dragon 2: Eye 3: Kary 4: Blue Dragon 5: Garland 6: Illithiad 7: Kracken 8: Tiamat 9: Vampire 10: Lich 11: Astos 12: Chaos
No death 3 toons died
no revive
What's with this only one damage? no way. You raised your defense and evasion % HACK BULLSHIT.
lucky aF vs lich

Man, the grinding process of this Game is so boring and annoying. I spent 3 days grinding in only one spot in the game, and it was no fun at all. The game is too good to stop, but too boring to enjoy
This is a long game with no saves lol

Slow down
white mage and black mage are kind of weak characters imo.

FF1 has more than 5 ports and every single one of them is a pretty low budget conversions with almost all problems remains intact... I just hope that at least 30th Anniversary will finally motivate SE to create another FFOrigins remake and finally spend some adequate money on it. Romancing SaGa 2 remake was already an inspiring step to the right direction and hopefully all classic FF will got even better treatment someday.
But whatever - great playthrough, man.
What rpg would you have played in 1989-1990>? Where you even born at that time>? My questions to you...You would have probably did the same thing as us, the kids of the 80s. You would have played final fantasy, dragon warrior, crystalis, destiny of a emperor, mother, zelda ll or willow etc. The rpg games were very limited at that time and those were the best rpg we had. There were also inferior rpg like ultima, the bard tale, ghost lion or wizardry. etc We played the best one that was on the market at that time. Remember that you would not be able to play final fantasy 7 and above in 1990 so logically, the best rpg of my generation are the one that really mark our childhood (people who are around my age). I also love final fantasy 7 and above a lot even if the 3-D graphics were at a early stage and some of the polygons graphics suck (like cloud square arms) but in fact, almost all the ff games are good or at least decent. My goal was not to start a fight between the old generation and the new. Anyone has the right to prefer what they want. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it.
Sqaresoft and Enix could have afford an animated enemies even back then in late 80s and hardware limitation has nothing to do with this. It was just quantity over quality, man. Instead of creating so many variation of monsters(FF3 has like 100 unique enemies...why?) they could have reduced the number of their types and use their time and resources on the animation. Just like Sega and Capcom did in their Phantasy Star and Brave of Fire series. But they stubbornly did the opposite(until 1995), thanks to the lack of any criticisms from people like you and game press. In-fact there are a couple of NES and Famicom JRPG with animated enemies and some of them were released in 80s. Some of them also even allow you to simply skip or exit the fight faster than DQ and FF do.
I really don't like the repetitiveness of encounters with average enemies and lifeless combat in which I have to imagine something that was supposed to be just showed to me by the devs. Yeah, IMO even a shitty 1-2 frame animation is better than nothing at all. It would have been tolerable if devs at least used a text boxes with full descriptions of enemies behavior, but they never did. Even manual has nothing! Less combat in general could have helped too, but again - it was never the case with this genre. it's not about graphics. I don't care if it 2d or 3d, or how good/modern it looks in general. I just can't deal with these stuff anymore, my FF1 PSP bored me to no end and I really don't want to experience the same frustration again.

This is my animation. Made it in less than an hour and I'm not even a proper artist. Such a big deal...
I think you're focusing way too much on a little visual detail *that don't even change anything to the core of the game*. You don't like rpg games without animation, we get it...We had hundred of games with animation on the system, if we wanted to play games with animation we just play mega man or contra etc.The story was awesome for 1990, the graphics were excellent, the game was also well-balanced, you could also choose between hundred of different combination of different party (you can't do that in zelda II and the game has animation). If you don't like rpg games that has no animations, just don't play them, that all. Simple as that. I will keep playing rpg with or without animation (i like both). *Animation is not what a make a rpg good or bad*.
How the hell did you read my post? I've stated that my problems with these games could have been solved by design decisions, artists input is not necessary.
To my the Final fantasy gold era was I to Vi next is VII to IX that's the silver era from those wonderful games
