Maximum speed Minimum risk

Suposse you and a friend decided to race. You both sit down in front of a tv with a copy of FFI ready to play. The winner will be the first to complete the game and will receive a prize straight out the their wildest dreams. As the game begins the first task is to choose a party. Obviously, a party that will move through the game quickly is desired. However, it is important for the party to be stable enough to avoid the very inconvenient total party death. In a race total party death will cost you valuable time and game progress.

What party would you choose?

Do you choose fighters for the astounding offense and defense?

Thief so you can run all the time?

Black belts for their no need of equipment?(saves time and money)

White mages to keep the party alive?(dont forget the Exit spell either)

Black mages to quickly dispatch large numbers of enemies?

Or a Red mage for a little bit of everything?

To win the race which party would you choose?

Thief. If you're that damn good at FF I, you will spend the absolute minimum possible amount fighting. Hell, if you're lucky, you would be able to finish the game in 2-3 hours.

Very true, if you could run all the time you would move very fast but the risk factor is very high. The odds of getting killed by the first stiff breeze is pretty likely. My first guess at the best would be 3 fighters and a whit mage. Any other ideas?

4 Fighters. lol I'm actually downloading a speedrun of the game right now where the guy did it in an hour and 15 minutes or something. He had 4 warriors. I'll upload it via .zip when I'm done downloading it.

id say 2 fighters a white mage and a black mage. You wouldn't be able to run, but ur pretty much secure to win most battles, thats just my opinion though

1h 15m is amazing. what system was it on? Was it on an emulator(sp?)? My fastest time was with 1 fighter, 1 red mage, and 2 white mages on the ps1 version. Now this is definitely not an optimal party for speed but it took me just over 14 hours.

I'll just link you guys to the site. I tried downloading it and it didn't even play right. I'm not exactly sure why...

NOBODY can beat FF in less than two hours without using tool assistance, glitch usage, and plenty of reset abuse. These videos are NOT real speed runs, so if you think you can just sit down and play FF 1 in an hour and a half, you are sadly mistaken.

I read about the 1h 15 min game. It was done with a lot of game manipulation through resets and the like. However, still very impressive. I hope to find a way to watch the actual game later. I would guess applying a stategy like this would take a large amount of time with all of the resets required. This strategy would fall under the high risk category with much potential for speed. For my competition I do not think it would be very practical but who knows?

I am not concerned with the game clock as much as I am concerned with the amount of actual time it takes. The use of a reset strategy would not be time efficient. I want to know how to beat the game as quick as possible weighing speed with reliability.

Any more suggestions?


Still, I would like to see the 1h 15m game for amusement purposes.
