This is a solo character single class challenge run of Final Fantasy. Only using the "Blue Mage"-class to complete the entirety of the game, as a solo character.

Final Fantasy 5 main strength as a game is the ability to freely switch your characters between a variety of different classes at any time you please. Normally this used to mix and match abilties and enhance the characters strengths through using interesting synergies.

However, Final Fantasy 5 is also a fairly unique game in the sense, that it allows for many varied strategies to get through the various bossfights in the game. Many classes have many tools available. Some more, others less. Some classes are just outright powerful by themselves, others... Not so much.

The Blue Mage is a bit of an oddball class, even for fantasy RPGs. In FF5 they learn specific abilities from enemies by getting hit by them, and then winning the encounter. The abilities a Blue Mage can learn range from very silly and mostly useless, to simply overpowered. The main difficulty of this class is to understand what the abilities can do, but also where to get them from. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/yagamoth
