Tour game will be SAVEDtoo.[Look for the INN sign in any town.][Once inside, the Innkeeper will greet you.]2) TENTS, CABINS, AND HOUSESUsing a TENT, CABIN, or HOUSE is a very convenient way to SAVE your game. Abig advantage is that you do not have to find a town to use them. All ofthese items have been shrunk down to a very small size so that you can storethem in your pocket.

For a fee he will revive any of your allies slain in battle.[The Magician asks you to select the candidate for revival.][Your band of Light Warriors returns to a full staff.][REMEMBER!! After revival your HP is only 1!]LET'S GO SHOPPING!When you return to town, or journey to new ones, you should go shopping. Youshould learn new and different magic spells, and stock up on potions andTENTs. Don't forget to upgrade your weapons and armor. As you enter newareas you will encounter more and more ferocious monsters. To quicklyeliminate your foes and protect yourself, you must constantly spend you hardearned Gold.[So many shops, with such great things to buy. Start with any of them.]STATUS SCREEN(This area is broken down into many areas.)[Top Left Box shows...]Name.[Top Middle Box shows...]Class.[Top Right box shows...]Experience Level.[Middle Box shows...]Experience Point Total, and Experience Points Needed to Advance Levels.[Bottom Left Box shows...]Attribute Levels.[Bottom Right Box shows...]Strength & Agility Levels. [Page 22]STATUSOn the STATUS Screen you will find valuable information for making manydecisions. Knowing how many Experience Points you need for the next level isquite valuable in determining whether to return to town of continue battling. Each class of Light Warrior has different characteristics than the others.The attributes of that class, in combination with the Experience Levels andcurrently EQUIPped weapons and armor, contribute to the status of a Warrior. Use the strength and agility levels to help in your determination of whatweapons and armor to EQUIP. Higher numbers and more desirable.BEFORE VISITING GARLANDYou must take a short journey to the Temple of Fiends to confront Garland.Before heading you, review a few points that should become a standardprecaution before leaving any civilized area. This will insure the easiestjourney possible.WEAPONS AND ARMOR[Make sure that all of the weapons and armor you wish to have with you inbattle are EQUIPped. The fanciest sword or shiniest armor will do no good inthe heat of battle if it in not EQUIPped.]BATTLE[On the journey, many monsters will attempt to stop you. Fight through, orattempt to RUN from the enemies that block your path to your destination.Battle to gain Gold and Experience.]ITEMS[It is quite wise to take provisions. Being able to resotre your life duringyour journey, or even in battle, is important. A poisoned ally cannot survivelong without some antidote (PURE).]SAVE YOUR GAME[After making all other preparations, it is a very good idea to SAVE beforeleaving town. If you are unsuccessful on your mission you can restart fromhere.] [Page 23]PLAN YOUR BATTLE WISELYGOOD EXAMPLE 1 (A party of two Grey Wolves, a Grey Imps, and Imps attack you!)[The enemy party may be made up of several different monsters. Eliminatefirst the monsters that pose the greatest threat.][If the Grey Wolf survives longer he can inflict more damage than the weakerenemies.][Next concentrate on the Grey Imps, before working on the Imps.]GOOD EXAMPLE 2 (A party of a single Ogre attacks you!)[Conserve your spells wisely by being aware of your enemies' maximum HP andhow much damage can be inflicted by your allies.][The use of the ICE spell has inflicted 33 HP of damage to the Ogre.][In round 2 of this battle, another spell is not needed to terminate thisogre.]GOOD EXAMPLE 3 (A party of four Sahags attack you!)[Battle with the Sahags has taken a toll on poor the HOWA. Choose the Warriorwith the highest agility to give the HEAL potion.][To minimize the unwise use of a potion, the Warrior that risks being slainshould choose to fight.][Phil saves the day with a much needed HEAL to restore some HP to the weakenedHOWA.] [Page 24]While engaged in battle it is always wisest to plan ahead. Wise battletactics will minimize the damage to your party. Unwise battle practices willlead you to the CLINIC.BAD EXAMPLE 1 (A party of two Ogres attack you!)[A party this weak whould never try to fight two Ogres.][28 HP of damage. They can't last that long can they?][Here lies NEST;s party - R.I.P.]BAD EXAMPLE 2 (A party of a Grey Wolf and five Wolves attack you!)[Know how much to attack each individual enemy.][Multiple attacks on weak, or weakened enemies do no good.][Continuing to fight a defeated enemy is ineffective.]BAD EXAMPLE 3 (A party of a Grey Wold and six Wolves attack you!)[The defensive power of the leader of your party is very important.][The leader will receive the brunt of the enemies attack.][PHIL has been slain. TOMY and the rest of the party RUN for their lives.] [Page 25]BATTLE TECHNIQUES<1> RUN AS A STRATEGYEven if you elect to, there is no guarantee that you can safely RUN away fromthe enemy. Each character's agility, regardless of enemy or ally, dictatesthe order of execution. Be aware that the enemy might hurt you before you RUNaway.[RUNning away from enemies while weak, can be a smart thing to do.]<2> KNOW THE ENEMIES' WEAK POINTSIn order to survive battle and gain large amounts of Gold and Experience,stopping to analyze your enemies' weak points will bring you success. Youmust experiment to find the most effective ways to use your magic and weapons.Many strong enemies have a weak point that you should exploit to your bestadvantage.[Use magic spells from the Lightning (LIT) category while fighting in, orunder water.][Weapons and magic of the ICE category are most effective against enemiesusing and made of FIRE.][HARM is effective against Undead monsters, such as ghosts, zombies, and othernon-living enemies.]<3> USING ITEMS DURING BATTLEITEMs can be useful while in battle. One advantage is that you can use anITEM that is not EQUIPped. Often this itm will be used on all enemies or onyour entire party.[Using an ITEM while engaged in battle.] [Page 26][Rescue the Princess at The Temple of Fiends]__________________Garland holds the Princess Sara captive at The Temple of Fiends. This muchwas told to you by the guard in Coneria. Beware as you journey to free her.No on has been seen leaving the temple in over 400 years.THE TEMPLE OF FIENDSSeated on the throne in the middle is Garland.

Be sure to watch your HPvery closely. Use HEAL potions if you need to.[A large group wicked wolves. Look out!][Ghouls have the capability to paralyze members of your party.] [Page 27]Prepare your Party HEAD WEST YOUNG WARRIORSUpon entering the temple turn left to find some Treasure Boxes to raid. InThe Temple of Fiends, as well as in most dungeons, you may find weapons andarmor that can help you in upcoming battles.

If you do not squarely face the box, itcannot be opened.Inside the Temple LOCKED DOORSWhile exploring, if you find a door which can't be entered, try pushing A toinvestigate.

He does not fearanyone who walks through his door, least of all four youths who think thatthey are the Light Warriors. Garland has no fear of you, so do not takelightly your preparations prior to doin battle with him. Fully prepare, andyou may win![After entering the door to the Throne Room, stop to restore your HP.][After doing so, proceed towards Garland, and try to reason with him.][Unfortunately, Garland doesn't want to negotiate.][All Warriors should choose FIGHT. Magic users should use MAGIC.]Good Job! THE PRINCESS IS FREE!The battle with Garland is done. Most likely you have suffered greatly andperhaps lost one of your party. Walk forward to talk to the Princess. Aftershe finishes press A again to warp to Castle Coneria.[Talk to the grateful Princess.][Pressing A again warps you back to see the King in Castle Coneria.] [Page 29][Meanwhile, Back in Coneria]_______________________________After successfully defeating Garland, make sure to talk to the Princessrepeatedly.

Make itup any way you like, it cannot be wrong. The game will require differentstrategies depending on who is in your party.1 SELECTING YOUR CHARACTERSTo start your Ginal Fantasy, select NEW GAME when you turn it on. A screenshowing your Four Warriors will appear. Starting with the character in theupper left, you can change occupations by using the Control Pad. There aresix different occupations to choose from. Press the A Button when theoccupation you want it shown.Then the name entering screen will be shown. Name your character (up to fourletter by using the Control Pad and the A Button.)

The occupation selection and namingprocess then proceeds with the upper right character. This continues untilall characters are chosen and named. [Page 34]2 CHARACTER OCCUPATIONSEach of the Four Warriors in your party must have an occupation. Here is someuseful information to help you choose.FIGHTERA professional fighter trained in the use of all weapons. The Fighter is ableto wear heavy armor and is skillful with large swords. Even with this bulkyequipment, quick moves are still possible.THIEFAgility and dexterity are the strong points of this character. The Thief isgood to have when you need to avoid an attack from the enemy.BLACK BELT (Bl. BELT)A master of martial arts. Tough both mentally and physically. This Warriorcan fight effectively with bare hands (no wepaons equipped).RED MAGEThe Red Magician has the ability to learn some of both black and white magicspells and is a fairly good fighter.WHITE MAGE (Wh. MAGE)Using White Magic, this character can heal wounds and cast many defensivespells. The White Magician is not a very good fighter, but can learn powerfulmagic.BLACK MAGE (Bl. MAGE)This character is skilled with Black Magic - very powerful spells used toattack the enemy. [Page 35]ADVENTURE PARTY EXAMPLESYour game's course of development will differ depending on the combination ofyour party. Make it up and way you like, it cannot be wrong. Below aresuggested party combinations, and some good and bad points of each.<1> FOR THE BEGINNER (FIGHTER, Bl. BELT, Wh. MAGE, & Bl. MAGE)This combination works well together. It is well balanced and is highlyrecommended. The battle skills of the Fighter and the Black Belt combineeffectively with the magic supplied by the White and Black Mages.<2> DEFAULT PARTY (FIGHTER, THIEF, Bl. BELT, & RedMAGE)This is the party that you will use if you do not change the selections. Itis a balanced party also and will do quite well. Although it is somewhat weakin the magic department, the fighting skills of the party will more than makeup for that.3 AN ALTERNATE CHOICE (Bl. BELT, Bl. BELT, Wh. MAGE, & Bl. MAGE)This combination is quite different than the previous two. While notrecommended for those who are inexperienced, the veteran player should have alot of fun with this one. The money saved by not having to buy expensiveweapons and armor can be used for powerful magic and potions. [Page 36]4 MAGIC USERS (FIGHTER, RedMAGE, Wh. MAGE, & Bl. MAGE)The lone Fighter's place in this party is not just that of offensive attack.His other purpose, with the help of the White Mage's powers, will protect theRed and Black Mages and allow the destructive power of their magic to defeatthe enemies.5 HEAVY MAGIC USE (RedMAGE, Wh. MAGE, Bl. MAGE, & Bl. MAGE)You must like magic to use this party. In the beginning, many trips will bespent returning to town for revival. If you could purchase HEAL potion by thebarrel you would do so. When this party becomes experienced, the quantity andtypes of magic spells that can be brought into battle is formidable.6 POWERFUL FIGHTING (FIGHTER, THIEF, Bl. BELT, & Bl. BELT)When this party goes into battle it is strong and quite menacing . It will bequite expensive to outfit this party with weapons and armor. The Gold savedat the Magic Shop will be wisely used buying potions. Until this partyreaches class change (see page 75) it will not have the benefit of magic.MORE PROS AND CONSThe course of your game's development will depend upon the make-up of yourparty. Enjoy the development of your Final Fantasy, the combination ofcharacters is your own making. There are over 100 different charactercombinations possible. Some parties will be much easier to develop thanothers.
