Final Fantasy 1 100% Walkthrough Part 1 The Start Of Everything

[@Jman19781]

As I hear “Because of how old this game is, some people probably haven’t played it,” my heart drops since I played the original when it came out on the NES. I feel so old haha

[@stormrider8286]

[@Captain_Caveman1981]

Same here. I was ten years old when this game first dropped in America and It was my introductory to RPG's. I also learned to read English by playing these games.

[@astarryeyedgirl]

I was in college when I got into FF1. It'd been out a bit by then. My mom had gotten way into it, then gave me the console and her old games when she upgraded. Mother to daughter. She's passed away now, but I still like the game.

My favourite FF1 team is Warrior, Thief, White Mage and Monk. The thief being able to learn spells like Temper just helps the Monk WRECK most of the enemies

[@Tftapodcast]

I first played FF on NES and I have a certain love for it’s archaic style and gameplay. I loved how much Stronger I felt after a level up and each dungeon being challenging was also very welcome. My first FF was 4 on the SNES and it was just too easy (I still loved it though) so with FF1 being a task to get through was very fun.

[@MrBlunt32]

Just started this. Kingdom hearts is my favorite game ever, and I've always wanted to play this franchise. So glad to start it from the beginning

[@donovanbradford8231]

As far as the king not having an army that can match one knight, if it's an army of normal no magic users up against someone like Gandalf or Galadria then I could forgive a king for saying, "great heros of legend please help me....from causing a needless massacre😭"

[@terryhampshire4378]

“We’re going to go through the whole series” my heart is so happy…! Thanks for doing this, subscribed and looking forward to the 100% walkthroughs :)

[@mostlynothere9583]

my first final fantasy game was 7 and a friend had just traded it with me. i was 10 years old and i still play it sometimes today haha. my parents bought me every new final fantasy from there till I started working and it was so exciting to see the technology advances. then i decided to go back and play them all from 1 and its all really fun. im going to subscribe and watch these since ive just got them all collected again and im going to replay them

[@Nevict]

I still remember Matoya's cave. I loved its music and the magic brooms cleaning everywhere.

[@largehouse1238]

A friend purchased FF9 for me as my first final fantasy game, and I played along with your walk-through of that series. After spending 380 hours on that game, I'm happy you have the rest of the games to play along with!!

[@mariobudal8850]

That game is such a gem. It's one of my few forever treasured gaming memories. Especially how they went back to that cute Japanese style after the more bland and serious styled FF8. I'll always remember playing FF9 and 7.

[@prcmechanicalandmedia4681]

So happy for this and the journey through the series 😊

[@kevinmorad2563]

Its such a good game I actually just started playing the GBA Version because I've never played a handheld FF game.

[@LordFinai]

I started with Dawn of Souls so this game has a lot of nostalgia for me, that said I never got very far through it as a kid since between it and Pokémon I would usually play Pokémon more. I am getting back into this game and I’m honestly surprised how much I remember and how nostalgic it is for me.

[@yapkfmichael6231]

I played this game and I enjoyed in very much. Unfortunately don't have much spare time. Too busy. So by watching u play save me some time to enjoy the game as well. Keep up the good work.

[@bdhuffman42]

Absolutely the best version of this game! FYI While there isn't a back row, the bottom two positions have a lower chance of being attacked.

[@reloadpsi]

Yep! 50% to the top, 25% to the second, and 12.5% to the rest.

[@MrReplicaNt]

Didn't actually notice the chocobo statues in the King's throne room before

[@matt6565]

I'm 40. I purchased the NES version when it first came to the US. It is my favorite game of all time. (The Remakes are alright too). THANK you for doing this game!

[@muckypup-riot]

Thanks, glad your doing this, I'm along for the nostalgia

[@Primalliquid92]

More to come!

[@BrendenBarlow]

The thief actually can potentially get some of the most mileage out of the masamune due to his speed and how many hits he does. The thief is also a lot better comparatively to his original iteration. Also the red mage is actually capped out at level 7 for magic. It can not learn level 8 magic aka the final spells. There are also class only spells for white mage and black mage. The heal line and Dia line as a prime example.

[@ZekDrakonEX]

I think slight mistake on Red Mage it doesn't get all magic in FF1. It though can equipped Swords making able do damages if try save MP.

[@nbbear55]

@Vegesther It also can't learn certain spells like Dia or Diara or several other spells that are exclusive to White Mage or Black Mage, IIRC

[@joeydurant6267]

This got me to finally dive into the series. Im doing the gba version on an emulator rn but i may go back and try the nes emulator as well. For now its all ive got but yeah... I love it so far. Always figured i would just never had an opportunity to really sink my teeth into it.

Freaking love this game to this day 🙌

[@Lucidbeings]

The name Final Fantasy comes from the Square team that wanted a game title with English alliteration, and when the name Fighting Fantasy wasn't available they went with the word Final instead. Square wasn't poor off when they made it, their recent titles were actually performing quite well when they started development on FF.

[@Lorijenken]

okay its happening! its HAPPENING!!

I love your accent like "boooaat it dooaass have good intelligence".. tnx for the explanation and the gameplay.. loved it🔥🔥🔥

Super cool you made this walkthrough. I definitely will be looking for a FF V as that is my favorite of the franchise. Because first time I got it I seemed to not be able to put it down.

[@danexline3620]

I have played the pixel remaster many times and interestingly come up with a new form of completion for the game. It requires all of your party members to have max HP max MP and at least 99 of every status. This will force you to grind out the extra dungeons and waste countless hours of your life but this is the real world and a lot of things are a waste of time

[@eldarmark]

Wait, extra dungeons? FF1 Remaster has extra dungeons?? I thought it was based on the NES version, not the GBA version?

[@veghesther3204]

It is NONE of the GBA/PSP dungeons are in ANY of the Pixel versions.

[@kwpineda5663]

@@Primalliquid92 I think the only thing I dislike about the NES version is how buggy it is. But it's the one I played 30 years ago, nostalgia is hard to beat.

[@reloadpsi]

The red mage doesn't learn all black and white magic; it only feels like it does because it learns the majority of the ones that are actually useful for the entire game, namely haste, fira, thundara, and the cure spells. The white mage gets heal and dia, as well as earlier access to life, but there's nothing the black mage does that's worth having that the red mage doesn't also do.

[@astaynax7531]

The red mage/wiz can't learn any level 8 spells at all, so no nuke or fade...

[@reloadpsi]

@@astaynax7531 Those spells aren't actually all that useful. By that point you've got melee fighters doing the same damage without spending spell slots. What I meant was that everything genuinely useful for the BM is also available for the RM (edited the comment to reflect that.) Full life is kinda good but by the time you get it you don't usually need that either... unless you brought a black mage, because by that point that's the only class that still has trouble staying alive. A white mage is still worth having though because the dia and heal spells are not bad at all.

[@astaynax7531]

@@reloadpsi yeah after level 10 with a warrior equipped with a silver sword and a black belt with 👊 the mages can't keep up single target damage. For any boss fight, for me, the mages buff the party with the anti elemental spell needed and temper respectively for the melee to crush the boss. The mages shine with large groups of enemies, which there is a lot of in the temple of the 4 fiends. I tend to use both fade and nuke getting though there, and with the remastered versions I believe you can get ethers to refill magic so you can just go to town and not hold back.

[@reloadpsi]

@@astaynax7531 That is true... But there are also items that infinitely cast the level 2 multi spells for free. Four of those used in a single round can clear almost any group of enemies. That's the point where the black mage stops ever being relevant again.

[@astaynax7531]

@@reloadpsi yeah the mages can become redundant, like you said once you get the black shirt, Zeus gauntlet, thors hammer, mages staff, the healing helms and staff, but the best group is probably one that can buff 1 dps the quickest on bosses and can quickly take care of the trash mobs. Any group can do it for the most part, as long as there is a mix of ninja, black mage and red mage for the temper and fast buffs. In one of the remakes I believe the Sabre spell actually works so you can even just keep stacking the giant gloves to buff dps too, at that point the black mage can even be the melee dps...

[@williampickett1472]

Have you ever thought about doing a 'how over powered can you get before yaschas massiff in final fantasy 13-2' This would actually be alot easier as you can take a separate time gate and go to sunleth waterscape then from there you can go to Archylte steppe and there is great ways to get tons of cp plus some of the best monster companions in the game are there also you can easily get really strong weapons from ochu and immortal ... I think it would be really great to see you do this but it's only a suggestion

[@mousebreaker1000]

I like the pixel remaster version more than the PSP version after playing both. Fortunately the other versions still exist, so you can choose the one you want to play!

[@kuro_agito]

The allegedly bankruptcy of Squaresoft is most attributed with Origin of the name, but that is not the full story and is actually not the real Reason. In an Interview with the Creator of Final Fantasy Hironobu Sakaguchi he himself said that the Team had agreed on the shortend name of FF as it sounded good in Japanese and the Original Title was actually Fighting Fantasy but this was dropped for due to concerns over trademark conflicts. The Word Final which was ultimately choosen was just a word which was widely known and famous at the time in Japan but was not choosen because of bancrupcy or that it was Sakaguchi last ditch effort in the gaming business before he would drop out and go back to university. According to Sakaguchi, any title that created the "FF" abbreviation would have done it. TL:DR - Name was choosen because Final was famous word and the Team wanted the abrivation FF as it sounds good in japanesse.

[@ghost79ish]

I've never played any version other than the NES original, and this is much different.

[@DonaldRoy-nr9xe]

Knight armor is, in truth, the 2nd strongest in defense, worst in evasion (trash tier), and has no resistances for any of the 8 elemental damage type sources. Never buy it in Melmond (45k)... or put it on any character (fighters are embarrassed to have it in their inventory). Second worse is iron armor, but you get it for free in Marsh cave.
