Easier than it looks, but that's not saying much.

When a video has "Let's Play" in the title I expect there to be some sort of commentary. Other than that everything is fine.

@MrGhostMark This video is an accompaniment to the thread linked in the video description, which is where the commentary is.

Hugh isn't actually that bad: he is LETHAL against living non-boss enemies. And not too bad against the last boss, as he has some heals etc. Better than Anna I think.

Kain is worse, as he's a mech-focused version of Hugh, and they become quite rare and are (I think) non-existent i the last dungeon.

My last party when I did this at about 12 years old was Rolf, Rudo, Hugh and Kain. And we were under-levelled, heh. Still won.

[placozoan]

Kain actually isn't a bad choice in the endgame. For some reason, his anti-mech techniques also work against "unnatural" monsters, including Dark Force and all the monsters in the last five dungeons.

this boss is tougher than mother brain in my opinion

[Resvrgam]

Whoa! Did I just see someone kick Dark Force's ass with the weakest party combination ever?! Oh Hell yeah! I had to re-watch this vid because it's hard to believe you defeated that boss with Shir & Hugh in the party.

[MrGhostMark]

@placozoan Makes sense. I cannot view said thread though.

Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as the Phantasy Star series. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!

@placozoan i concur. kain is the shit against mechs, and against the "evil alligned" non-biomonster enemies, as in the dezo dungeons and spaceship noah, and even dark force. his techs are as strong as rolf's. (excluding megid, which really is a waste of TP, and the party's HP, and techs/items to restore HP, and the player turns it takes to do so anyway.) using rolf's attack/nathu or nafoi, rudo's neishot, kain's nagaj, and amy on the defense, one can defeat dark force in very few turns.

Is it just me or does Dark Force have faces on each side as an allusion to his multidimensional nature? As 3D beings we cannot actually see more than three dimensions, so like a multi-faced Hindu God they added in the extra faces to suggests DF's interdimensional nature. I'd like to see a remake of this game where they can go to some post-game save file secret dungeon and face the Profound Darkness. With this party Megid = boom, dead.

[ANinja11]

Wow, you beat him w/o using Megid...

When I beat him, I had:

- RolF/Rudo/Anna/Kain

- ABout 3 Star Mist/Moon Dew apiece

- Megid Technique

And yeah, DF is much harder than MB, IMO, esp when he uses that Dark Force ability to gimp your party. I used to pray for the Neisword White Light to restore my party!

But good post.

[KaiserVadin]

i can't beat this game the weapons are hard to find !

[NuclearRadio]

I like how relaxing the music is.

[supaflystrikes]

Oops, wrong game.
