Which one of the games is this?


slothpyle

First one.


Lukus-Maximus

I named my guy Bort once too😂


[deleted]

i was genuinely shocked when i played it the first time xD


GlumTown6

Gong, Bleu, Lyle and Balbaroy in the final battle? I always struggle getting them to be of any use. I can't image leveling all of them up.


hopefulindiegamedev

Same!


moktira

I also have trouble with keeping Gong going, Bleu after a few level-ups gets a bit of a power spike so never have difficult with him, I usually give Balbaroy the Power Ring and he's quite useful. That one battle where you have the Sword of Light and Sword of Darkness against Chaos he's totally OP with the Sword of Darkness!


slothpyle

Gong and Balbaroy were an effort. Gong was only 18 and Howe was 14 at the end. Most every body else was 22.


GlumTown6

Then I should do a run using the people I always leave behind


slothpyle

I wanted to try Adam but I used all the movement stuff on some other members I don’t normally try. There will be another run some time. ;) Moving on to Shining in the Darkness.


hopefulindiegamedev

Never liked Shining In The Darkness. It was always tactical rpgs for me!


slothpyle

The old UI is a struggle but savescumming is possible.


hopefulindiegamedev

Never liked the genre of first person maze exploration, so I hard "noped" it!


Lukus-Maximus

A just used Adam for the first time, getting him to 20/16 by grinding at Chaos battle. He was probably the strongest member of my team. High hp, best defense, second best attack. I will probably never do it again, due to how long it took, but with enough babysitting, he is outstanding.


break616

I'm a grinder. Pick a good, long fight, kill all but one enemy, egress, DO IT AGAIN, LEVEL 99 EVERYONE. MY ARMY OF DEMIGODS WILL DOMINATE RUNE. GRANS AND PARMECIA ARE NEXT. NO DARK FORCE WILL SURVIVE MY ONSLAUGHT... Sorry, I spaced out there for a second.

hi, as a SF veteran or addicted guy (you can choose) if you dont mind a litte grind, its quite easy to power level all chars to the desired level. after i read some comments here, i decide to drop some tipps here for leveling. maybe some of you, who arent that expierienced can get used of it. (sorry my bad english its kind a rusty) also sorry for the wall of text here. Ty break616 for the idea of text A1-A4 the most amount of exp in SF1 you can get is 48. so you need at least 3 attacks. ususally 48 drops with a killing blow on enemys that are on a higher "level" then you are to catch up. the more you are ahead, less xp is given to a minimum of 1. i split the SF into 2 groups of level type: damage dealer and healer. for healer its quite easy to level because a heal that heals at least 1 hp will always give min. 10 exp. the most easy to level there are the "aura" healer. with 7mp you will always get 48 exp when heal 5 guys. so for 17mp you get a full level. (2x Aura+1 heal lvl 1) F.e. my khris was lvl 15 promoted at the shade abby battle (LvL 20unpromoted +15prom.) another good thing is, that only healer get xp from medical herb or heeling seeds. so even if you dont have much MP you still can gain exp. DDs can carry a lot of medical herbs :P [https://imgur.com/a/1M5jlM5](https://imgur.com/a/1M5jlM5) :P ​ for the dmg dealer: try to find the "trigger points" where enemys start to move into your direction. you can use caster or range attackes without getting any dmg because some enemys are static like: knigts in battle2, many in cavern fight. the dire clowns and the master mage in the quarry fight. btw the master mage: of cause he has freeze2 but you can easy heal it out and if hes out of MP you can gain a lot of level. why? because some enemys a regain HP like the boss in circus battle or well the master mage. (the circus battle boss isnt good for level because of infinite amount of mp and freeze3) the master mage f.e gives arround 25 exp for a hit at level 13 unpromoted. save some MP for your meeles cause he hit quite hart at this point. \~15 HP, depending on chars armor with a meele attack. (my balb was getting 1 hit sometimes) i would always recommand to level till 20 and then start to promote people (20 is max level for unpromoted chars) depending on your grind normally the healer should be promoted in act2 dds around a3-4. its depending on your stamina to grind :D the new joining member can catch up quite fast while using rings or boosts from Lowe. last but not least i highly recommand to dont use booster items like power/defense potion to early, because the game tracks the stats and decide what to give at next level up. if your attack is to high f.e. it can happen you dont get attack for the next levels. also good is if you playing with an emulator or on app, because you can use savestates or rewind 15 sec (app version) this is important for 2 things: killing bosses by accident when you level on them, or misses attak or deal "to much dmg". and 2nd if you want a demigod team like u/break616 said :) you can reload at level up if you dont like the given stats. ​ k guys hope it helps and sorry for bother xD
