Part: 1 of 6

After completing an all Black Mage (promoted to Black Wizards) run of this game, why not do it with all White Mages? This was a fun playthrough that had quite a bit of planning go into it beforehand. I try to speak to every character to reveal all of the plot points but I only grab the treasures that I want to pick up, which makes dungeons a lot more palatable. I do end up promoting the characters to White Wizards.

Here are some highlights:

1 minute, 20 seconds - You actually cannot get into any battles on these squares. Now you know.

4 minutes, 40 seconds - Here's a fun and pointless glitch that happens when you go to your menu screen while standing in a doorway you opened. It creates a sort of "phantom door" that actually does nothing. I do this from time to time throughout the playthrough for no real reason.

5 minutes, 30 seconds - Here's a pointless glitch where you can talk to this invisible person. The reason why she's invisible is because she was marked with an "indoor" flag so she was only supposed to be visible when you were indoors. Strangely, you can't even see her if you enter the door to the right that requires the mystic key.

6 minutes, 20 seconds - Here's a better looking door glitch for no reason.

9 minutes - I thought I'd have some fun seeing if this team could knock down Garland with everyone at level 1. No problem! But that cap though...

15 minutes - Here's that invisible person again.

17 minutes - Interestingly, the bridge to the north is not visible from here.

34 minutes, 15 seconds - Ah! An unusable sample. At least they explained why you can't just take the weapons that are laying there.

38 minutes - You cannot get into random battles on seaport tiles for some reason. Also, this game has a secret slide puzzle minigame that can be accessed while in the ship if you hold the A button and press the B button 55 times. It takes me forever to solve these things but you get 100 GP if you manage to do it. This was actually one of my faster attempts though.

44 minutes, 10 seconds - Good order of CURE here.

1 hour, 2 minutes, 50 seconds - This is a really dumb battle. The OddEYE can't do anything except paralyze you. I think this is a battle that's impossible to lose.

1 hour, 4 minutes, 10 seconds - Here lies Erdrick. This is a fun reference to the Dragon Warrior/Quest series. I think it actually says "Here lies Link" in the Famicom version. I guess Erdrick died in the year 866 at age 29? I wonder why they chose these years.

I decided to stop the video here so that the next section can be fully devoted to grinding the peninsula of power for levels and buying supplies. That way all that stuff is easy to skip over.
