Wouldn't be much different than a 4 fighter party after class change. This group wouldn't get to use Excalibur, but it would get to cast FAST/haste on itself. Close to a decent party.
4 Ninjas is pretty cool, and I'm a huge Thie ffan, but this party kinda blows.
It's absurdly difficult before class change and then the lack of Katanas and other good Ninja equipment, coupled with the fact that Ninjas really aren't the high damaging killers you think they should be makes this a stuggling group.
The katana was meant to be the only high criting weapon in the game. A bug made it so all end game weapons had a high crit chance. The ninjas got shafted a bit.
This party is actually pretty doable in DoS/PSP I'd imagine. The thief dishes out punishment on par with the fighter, and can use the money savings on tons of healing potions.
I would consider it a real test to endure this game on NES.
Class change will be like Christmas morning for this group.
On DOS, this is fine. Thieves are pretty nasty attackers from the start in that version.
But on NES... this is the worst four character party in the game. It's only possible to beat the game with this party in that if you attempt fighting Astos 1,000,000 times, you'll manage to have one run where you get lucky and he misses with everything while you crit on every hit.
I voted this down the same reason I voted the Fighter down.
(Which I posted below)
When playing a RPG I want Magic but some make me force to go with weapons because the magic sucks and with this party all I can imagine is the same fight over and over again.
Hey Um..., wouldnt it take the same amount of time to level to defeat Asstoes, cuz your 1 dude would have to have the same amount of strength as the combined strength of four of the same person, one of whom is himself?
Nah. Once you get the hang of killing enemies, the XP is really a whole lot better for a single Thief, and the levels rise faster.
After that, defeating Astos is simply a matter of the single thief reaching a point where he gets multiple attacks (his hit% must reach a certain point, I can't remember where), and that will increase the crit chance enough for him to possibly slay Astos with a mere Sabre.
Until that point, the only way to defeat Astos would be to get absurdly lucky. Having 4 lv 24 Thieves needing to get absurdly lucky is far more difficult than having 1 lv. 26. Thief with that extra hit chance.
I think the level I needed to reach was 26. I could be wrong. I'm aplmost positive that I couldn't solo Astos at 22...
LOF's comment makes my brain hurt. I had to read it 3 times.
(I have DoS, I'm not sure if this would work for NES) I would probably POP the hell outta these guys. Also, my main objective would definitely be to get to class change above all else. After opening the canal, I'd go straight for CoT and run from every battle to get to the rat tail.
As for Astos, I'd just bring *lots* of Phoenix Downs.
Probably the worst party (or one of the worst) in the game. Even after class change you can't compare these guys to fighters, the ability to run from everything is useful, especially if your playing NES. After Astos they should do okay.
What are these guys doing saving the world?
Stealing from the rich and giving it to the poor?
if they survive long enough, they would massacre as a ninji, though
Far and away the worst party you can have.
If anyone wants to challenge that and thinks the 4 BB party is the worst, let me know... I'll bet the deed to my house on it.

but like i said with other 1 class party's untill later in the game u wont be able to abuse weakneses
These guys are really worthless. The only thing they're good at is running away.
Terrible unless you can make it to class change
NES: Forget about it. Just stop playing.
GBA/PSP: VICIOUS.
Actually, Even in GBA and PSP it would be hard cause there is no healer... and Thieves usually die a lot until class change...

Second worst isn't half bad

Wow, I didn't know that Ruzlock. That's really quite relevant.
I bet 99 phoenix downs that you cant get to class change with this group
on the NES:WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?????
on DoS:Good luck (you're gonna need it)
I've seen someone do a solo ninja game. If that's possible then this party should be possible. Probably still be painful though.
I did a solo Thief game, so I know what's possible and what's not...
But this party might be even more painful than solo thief because the leveling to defeat Astos takes 4 times as long.

solo thief game. warmech. OH FU-...
Dead
Imagine a gang of punks saving the world...
Anyhoo, still a good party. You can fight, run, and still pwn. Just add patience.
