I've played it about as many times and it's still one of my favorite final fantasies to play through (right after 4). The lack of any sort of characterization to the light warriors makes it easy to sorta "RP" as you play along. It makes it the most immersive of all the games in the series imo.

@ProjectDevilEye 2 года назад

Hi! You were wondering some differences for the Japanese version. The story writing for the most part is the same minus a few key character interaction dialogues which isn't major enough to really warrant explaining,.A few weapons and few character/spell name changes due to phonetics Cure Cur2/3/4 were Cure / Cura / Curda / Curga. Fire Fir2 etc was Fire, Fira, Firda, Rub was "Death", XXXX was "Kill", "Nuke" was "Flare" and "Saber" was "Temper". "Slain...." was "Dead..." when a character was downed and the place they were revived was a church instead of a clinic marked with an extended cross atop the building instead of a heart above the door. Kary was named Marilith (マリリス), Garland was Ga-rando(ガ一ランド), Lich was Rishichi(リシチ) and a plethora of enemy name changes too long to list here. One important monster change was the "Eye" which had its entire sprite changed because it looked exactly like a classic D&D Beholder and was even called ビホルダー (Beholder). The ending was not as long-winded as the American release so it seemed there was some extra dialogue added. The four fiends were called the "Chaos four" and I am sure there's more I am not remembering off the top of my head, I will need to go back and play my FC copy and take some notes. I hope this helps answer some questions! Excellent guide video by the way! I really enjoy your work.

Greetings from Japan! :) Daryl is a refrence to Daryl Hannah, the actress who played a Mermaid in the movie Splash. Nice play through some differences to the JP version, notable being all the monsters in the Japanese version had Dungeons and Dragons names for the monsters they represented.. As far as the tomb Stone I remember Link was mentioned as "link, rest in peace" if I remember correctly translated. and the Tomb said Loto who is I think Erdricks name in Japan. It's been a few years since I played through it so I may be remembering it wrond and I was younger but I think that was what it was.

One tip you didn't mention in the video, when you get to the end of the ice cave. In a lot of versions of FF1, the Eye boss can be repeatedly killed for extremely fast XP. Once you beat it, just walk 1 space off the boss tile and then back onto it, and the encounter will start again. Since the eye is fairly easy to kill in a single round, this can be a great way to grind levels if you want to become stupidly overpowered.

I once did an All Monks run, thinking that it'd be super tough. Actually, it was kinda like the super-secret easy mode of the game! No weapons, no magic, just fists of fury and a crap ton of potions. Even when I got the Masamune, my guys were still dealing more damage WITHOUT IT!!! 🤯 Chaos went down like a chump! Been meaning to attempt All White Mages and All Black Mages runs, just to see which would be tougher. Actually starting to think an All Thieves run would be the toughest, since you only have crap weapons at the start of the game, and no magic until the class change. Lemme know what crazy stunts you guys have done. 👍

@simondiamond9628 2 года назад

@@TopsideCrisis346, I would say the 4 WM party is harder by far. Much harder, I'd say. The reason is 2 fold: offensive magic access, and weapons access. Black Mages get access to the Silver Knife, before their promotion, and that's not a bad weapon to work with. Additionally, they get access to the Catclaw, which can do decent melee damage. As for magic access, one spell that they do get access to is Warp, which lets you travel back to the previous dungeon level. In theory, a person could use the Warp spell multiple times to exit out of the Temple Of Fiends Revisted, after going back to the past. I will mention though: Fighting Lich in the past will be a pain in the ass, due to Nuke, and the lack of HP progression for the class.

@@sickofitall8486 It's not really shocking if you understand how so called "random" encounters actually work in the this game. The encounters you get are extremly predictable. Very simply if you power off your console with any sort of regularity you will probably never see a t-rex. Your first opportunity to fight the rarest encounter for any location doesn't happen until your 129th battle without powering off the console. This leads to the 1/64 theoretical odds of encountering a t-rex being much lower in reality.

@sickofitall8486 4 месяца назад

@@saltyphry9622 Interesting if not impractical. By the time I get to a point where I'm grinding exp, I'm either spamming the Eye in the Ice cave, the forced Agama encounter in Gurgu, or the floor in the Temple of Fiends that has the Chimaira, Worms, and Frost Dragons. But, solid info. Now I know why I never see the T Rex, and prolly never will.

Only at 1:42:00, but two things: When buying the bottle, you can actually land your airship on top of the caravan. This is the only desert tile you can land the airship on. As far as the tomb in the Japanese version, it says "Here lies Link". An obvious nod to The Legend of Zelda. I have no idea why they changed it from Link to Erdrick for the US version. In all subsequent ports of the game, it has been reverted back to the original "Here lies Link".

@RoninCatholic 2 года назад

I believe the Japanese version of the Erdrick tombstone said "here lies Link" instead, as that's what it says in all remakes. It'd be weird for all remakes to change the gag while continuously adding a gag tombstone that doesn't exist in the original version of the game, after all.

It is my theory (just a guess more then likely) that many of the doors in the game after the canal is made are actually set up to be locked by the mystic key.. I have no actual proof of this but it is just my own guess.. Either that or when the game was programmed certain doors long after you already have the mystic key were flagged as being "locked" in the games code by some error...

In castle ordeals, you can walk to the left to avoid the Nitemare spiked square after getting the Heal Staff. You also can avoid the MudGol fight for the Zeus Gauntlet if you don't mind getting it on the next floor. One of the "empty" chests is actually tied to the Zeus G chest, so opening one will make the other empty.

@dethaddr 2 года назад

Also, the Caravan that sells the BOTTLE fairy is the only desert square that the airship can land on. That way, you only need two steps in order to buy the BOTTLE. Less chance of a fight.

@gldni17 2 года назад

I remember going to Castle of Ordeals when I was younger after I got the canoe because of how hard the ice cave was, and eventually discovering what the Zeus gauntlets did by accident. Totally broke through the difficulty wall to have reusable infinite LIT2 so my White Mage could do actual damage to stuff that wasn't undead. Any time I've replayed the game through my adulthood, first stop with the canoe is always the castle of ordeals now to get those wonderful gauntlets and heal staff.

@AdamantineAxe 2 года назад

I found the heal staff and also the heal helmets to be far more valuable than any other magic casting item. By the nature of melee you have unlimited damage but with no way to refill magic outside of towns and 99 max potions heal items are the only source of, albeit grindy, infinite HP for long dives exploring the last dungeon ect

@cocodojo 2 года назад

Indeed, the heal staff and 2 heal helms on a weakened last enemy before you finish it off ensures you can keep going around in near full health.

@joeboo8626 2 года назад

It's an effective strategy to use, especially if you don't select a white mage.

@ChumblesMumbles 2 года назад

It's a viable if tedious strategy to conserve healing magic and heal potions - good to have as an option in the final dungeon if you get a few really bad battles (gas dragons) that could chew through a ton of your potions and leave you vulnerable toward the end. Harder to keep open slots with characters who use a lot of armor. I usually pair with the wizard staff to confuse the last 1-2 enemies and get a few free rounds of healing in.

@cocodojo 2 года назад

@@ChumblesMumbles good strategy Mumbles, I usually weaken the last enemy, then have everyone NOT using healing items, go into defense mode so they just block damage until everyone's back to near full before finishing the poor wretch off. Slow? Yes, but its quite the life saver when you run into weaker enemies that don't have 1 hit kill moves or something nasty.

The Mermaid who told you about her friend Darryl growing legs and walking away is an allusion to the 1984 movie Splash. Darryl Hannah played a 🧜‍♀️ Mermaid in that movie that Tom Hanks fell in 🥰 love with and she became human by the end of it. John Candy was also in that movie in a supporting role

@mr.battle20 2 года назад

Fun fact: the "SORCEROR" enemies in the original are correctly named "Mind flayer" in the updated versions. To anyone not familiar with Dungeons and Dragons, the mind flayer, or illithid, is an octopus-headed enemy with a taste for brains (specifically, yours). The instant death attack isn't a rub spell. It's the mind flayer devouring your brain. Between that and their ability to dominate minds, it's safe to say that mind flayers are among the most dangerous enemies in D&D. P.S. The mermaid "Darryl" is a reference to Darryl Hannah, the star of the movie Splash (1984), co-starring Tom Hanks. It's a romantic comedy about a mermaid who falls in love with a human and grows legs so she can live in his world.
