In addition, there are seven options that allow you to use Items or
Magic, change a character's equipment, get an in-depth view ofa
character's status, change the party’s formation, alter the configuration
of the game settings, or save the game.

At the beginning of the game, you must choose a class for each of your
four characters. With six classes and four characters, this is a difficult
decision, A good rule of thumb for a balanced party is to use two
offensive characters (Warriors, Thieves, or Monks) and two spellcasters
(Black Mages, White Mages, or Red Mages). To learn more about each
character class, flip ahead to the “Character Classes” section.

Basics

While exploring dungeons and castles or traveling from town to town, your
party will randomly encounter groups of enemies. In addition, there are pre-
arranged battles against bosses that are triggered by speaking with certain
NPCs, or by stepping on a certain point.

Between Battles,
When you'te not actively engaged in a battle, you can prepare each character—or your entire party—to improve their chances for survival and success. Each
town or monster-infested area may contain better equipment than what your party currently uses. When you acquire something new (by purchasing it, looting
it from a chest, or if it's dropped by an enemy), compare it against your characters current equipment, Items that can't be equipped (Antidotes, Potions, etc.)
generally serve as back-ups for White Magic spells that your party may not have. These items, which are used to restore HP or remove status ailments, are
consumed after a single use. You cannot consume Key Items; these items are necessary to trigger certain events and advance the game's storyline.

You must purchase Black and White Magic from the appropriate magic shops, which are always located inside a town. Generally, Black Magic is used to
inflict damage and status ailments, while White Magic is used to restore HP and remove status ailments. Not all characters can use magic, but it's extremely
important to keep spell lists full for the ones who can.

Use the Formation command in the main menu to change the order of your characters (the character in the top position appears on the screen while you're
navigating). Characters closer to the top position are more likely to get hit, so place the characters with the highest hit points accordingly.
During Battle
Unlike the later games in the FINAL FANTASY series, FINAL FANTASY
has a fairly simple battle system. Your characters have six choices from which
to select one action per round of battle. Those options are:

1. Attack a single enemy with that character's equipped weapon. auep

2. Use Magic to heal allies’ HP remove status effects, or inflict damage
on enemies. The character takes damage each turn of battle and for each step taken be

4. Use Items from your party’s inventory, or one that the character has
equipped. Use the spell Poisona or the item Antidote to remove this ailment. Note that this
condition persists after a battle ends if it isn’t removed.
5. Equip an item from your party’s inventory to use in battle (the character
can perform another action this turn).

Magic is divided into two categories (Black and White) and ranked from level 1 to 8. Although there are four Black Magic spells and four White
Magic spells in each level, each character can only learn three spells per level. If you would like to learn a spell but have already filled the three
slots allowed, you may use the Discard option in the Magic menu to
drop a spell and free up a spot. You can fill Red Mages slots with any
combination of White and Black Magic spells, provided they can learn
those spells. Knights have a limited selection of White Magic, while
Ninjas face the same situation with Black Magic.

It takes MP to cast spells and all spell levels use the same pool of MP.
Each class that can cast spells gains MP with each level increase, but
the amount gained is random, For this reason, if you have a Warrior or
Thief in your group, it’s a good idea to complete the class change as early
as possible to maximize the amount of MP the Knights and Ninja can
accrue,

Strength, added to an equipped weapon's strength, determines the amount

Agility raises the Evasion parameter. Higher Agility scores mean it is more

combat.

Intelligence determines the odds of success on hit-or-miss spells like Sleep

The last five scores (HP and MP dont affect the parameters) combined with

strength. Whereas a higher defense lowers damage caused from being hit, a higher Evasion
lowers the chance of the attack connecting.
Accuracy
This number determines the accuracy and number of attacks that are attempted.
For each multiple of 32 in this score, the character gets an additional attack. Keep
this in mind when deciding whether to equip an accurate weapon or a powerful
one. If the accurate one pushes this score over a multiple of 32, it’s the right Equipment Carryover

a defensive boost. In fact, it’s wise to spend your gil on Black Magic spells. Blizzard is a strong
elemental attack. In a game where few bosses are vulnerable to magic, attack-
boosting Temper is the best utility spell early in the game. If you want to fill the
third slot, Slow is a decent choice but not nearly as good as Sleep.

The Town ofElfheim

Like Cornelia, Elfheim consists of a town and a castle. There's no way to reach the castle
from town, so you must enter it from the world map. At the castle, it’s revealed that the
king of the Dark Elves, Astos, has cursed the prince. Matoya may have the cure, but she
won't provide any help until someone returns her Crystal Eye.

Back in town, someone mentions a spooky castle that was discovered in the northwest. A
visit to the Western Keep isn't necessary, but it will shed some light on the situation. If you _
had planned to fight some enemies to build levels, you may as well head in that direction.
Before doing so, pick up a few Tents at the item shop. The tents cost only 60 gil more than
a stay at the Inn, plus there's no need to take the long trip back to Elfheim to use them.

WESTERN KEEP
There is a king in the Western Keep who offers to help, if someone
can help find his crown. It is believed that the crown is somewhere
in the Marsh Cave, directly south of the Western Keep. |ee

Welcome to the Marsh Cave

The three-level Marsh Cave is much
more difficult than the Chaos Shrine,
so low-level parties may want to
make several short forays. Grab some
treasure, escape from the area, and
use Tents (or return to Elfheim) to
heal. It’s quite possible for a high-level
party to get through the Marsh Cave
in a single trip. A powerful party may want to consider skipping the north
side of B2 to save time.

Sail southwest from Melmond, past the tip of the peninsula with the Cavern
of Earth and due west across the sea. This leads to the east shore of the
continent between two ports. Disembark at the southern port and start
hiking southwest. There are some grueling battles here, so hit the foes with
everything you have since there isn't far to go. Cross a large patch of forest,
loop around below the lake, and locate the small town of Crescent Lake.

Don't be confused by Crescent Lake's odd layout. There's actually more to this
town than a handful of shops. Cross the small stone bridge to the northeast
and follow the path to the field where the sages await. If you have defeated
the Lich in the Cavern of Earth, the sages discuss the remaining fiends and
provide a Canoe,

These foes put the denizens of Mt. Gulg to shame, so be careful while

The Ochu foe is also vulnerable to Thunder, but the stronger Neochus are not.
Both are hardy and capable of inflicting poison, making them a significant
threat. Focus on them after the Crocs but before the Piranhas, Red Piranhas,
and Hydras (the weakest of the river monsters).

The river is the best place to visit when you need to quickly level up. While it
is risky to do so, river enemies are worth lots ofEXP—up to 3189 from the
Neochus!

The Canoe allows for travel on rivers and lakes, such as the ones around Crescent Lake. Take the river route west, then
turn north at the second fork. Pass the first northwest fork (it leads nowhere) and go north down the second route.
When that path forks, head due west to Mt. Gulg where the Fire Fiend has made her home.

The Mindflayers are perhaps the most dangerous foes. Piscodemons aren't so bad, but Dark Wizards and Mindflayers have interesting spells like Trance (which
can paralyze the entire party), Reaper, Firaga and Thundaga. As a bonus, any physical attack a Mindflayer lands may result in an instant kill. Magicians only
have 112 HP (Dark Wizards have 105), so killing them quickly is the way to go. Have all ofyour offensive spell casters use their best spells (neither foehas any

 , [There are deadly new foes in the Flying Fortress. These battles test your
endurance more than your wit, as few of these foes have any glaring
weaknesses.
Black Flan 156
You'll encounter the Rakshasa and Dark Warrior foes, which don’t have a
lot of HP but are very resistant to magic. Rakshasas are poisonous and Dark
Warriors can cast nasty spells like Doom and Flare.

There are plenty of other nasty spellcasters lurking about, including the
Q
=i Mindflayer and the Evil Eye. Both of these foes are capable of instant-kill
Earth Medusa attacks. The classic Medusa is also in the Flying Fortress as the slightly more
powerful Earth Medusa. Fortunately, all three are weak on defense and go
down quickly. Other new Magician-type foes include the Spirit Naga (weak on
offense and defense), which can inflict virtually any status effect in the game.

The Soldier (400 HP) resembles a powerful Guardian, but he has a much
higher attack score. He’s weak against Thunder, though, making him one of
only two new foes in the Flying Fortress who are vulnerable to anything. The
|| other foeweak to Thunder is the deadly Vampire Lord. The Air Elemental is
vulnerable only to physical attacks.

‘| Manticores and the river dwelling Neochus are both capable of inflicting
poison. Stone Golems are just powered-up Clay Golems with only 200 HP,
but they're almost completely immune to magic.

No overview of the Flying Fortress is complete without a mention of the

Warmech, a very rare random encounter that rivals the game's final boss
in difficulty.

while the west room

The southwest room
contains a real treasure: the Adamantite sought by the Dwarves. If your party has a Warrior or Knight, don't miss that chest!

On the east side, there are Diamond Gloves in the northeast and another Ribbon and a Diamond Shield in the east room. The Black Robe and White Robe
are in the southeast room. These pieces are really no better than the Ruby Armlet your Wizards are probably already wearing. When used in combat, though,
you can use them to cast Blizzara and Invisira, respectively.

‘The warp leads to an area near a circular window set into the floor. Approach
it and take a peek for a clue as to the next destination. The warp to the next
floor is to the west and a bit south of the one that lead in, just below the east
treasure room.

_ There are treasure rooms to the east, north, and west. A long passage to the
_ south contains a few rooms with a confusing clue that you'd be wise to skip.
The treasure room to the north contains a Potion, Protect Ring, and some gil.
ybnoipy
There are nice finds in the east and west rooms. The highlight of the west room
is Sasuke’s Blade, a Ninja-exclusive weapon with great stats but no special
abilities. An item of note in the east room is the Protect Cloak, which is the
only shield item in the game that you can equip on a Black or White Wizard.

Thats it for treasures in the Flying Fortress, so if you're going to bail out
and use a Cottage, do it now. If you do so, hop back into the Airship and take
the Adamantite to the Dwarves so a powerful weapon is available for use
_ against Tiamat.

This floor is an infinite loop, meaning you could walk in any direction forever.
To get to the next floor from the warp mirror, head past two pits to the north,
then turn west to find the warp after passing two more pits. You can also get
there by going south past two pits, then turning east past two pits.

There are no encounters on this floor, so check to see if any characters are
close to leveling up. If so, fight a few foes in B4 (don't bother with Tiamat
again because the EXP she gives isn't worth the risk) so everyone is at their
best for the boss. Save the game and prepare for the original game's final battle.

After the tablet provides the distance to the buried key, use individual
taps on the controller to move since this allows you to count the number
of steps taken. Turning off Dash may make counting your steps in this
manner easier. If you dig in the wrong spot, there may be an enemy
encounter and the game provides an updated distance to the key, Keep in
