What do I need to know before I start a low level run?
>>
your time is probably best spent doing anything else
>>
Do it in FFV instead, you will have more fun
>>
>>4117225
do it in mario & luigi games instead
>>
>>4117260
This, you aren't proving anything to anyone. How about playing an off the beaten path JRPG instead?

Like this extremely rare NES -> SNES port of FF3, for example?
>>
>>4117225
well you run from everything then you cheese bosses. play the brave new world romhack instead
>>
>>4117292
nah, I what I mean is like titles that are hidden game's that aren't really talked about as much. You beat FF6, try something else.

Do it in the Pixel Remaster, since you can turn experience gain off and fight every battle. Someone on here already confirmed that you can recruit Mog last in the World of Balance. The only issue you will have in the Pixel Remaster is the Vargas fight. You cannot use Pummel against him immediately, you have to wait until Sabin triggers the tutorial. The first fight against Ultros is impossible unless you level up Banon a bit.

I suggest combining it with a 'natural magic game' (don't learn spells through espers or equipment) since that makes characters more unique.
Also it's probably better if you don't worry too much about getting the absolute lowest level. Not because it's difficult, but because certain dungeons have random battles that you can't escape from and therefore are forced to get exp or reset and try repeatedly until you make it through without encountering those enemies. And in order to manipulate the level characters join you have to recruit characters in a particular order to keep the average level down and you can leap gau off at the veldt. E.g. you need gau to soak exp when you go to the floating continent, then you need to gone before you recruit shadow. The floating continent has inescapable battles.
In retrospect it was probably a bad choice to aim for the lowest 'average level' since gau did way too much damage with fixed dice.
>>
>>4117378
That's basically cheating.
>>
>>4117540
If you have already beaten the game, or done a low level game before and beaten it, then it is not. It's an alternative.
>>
>>4117650
No. Being able to freely grind for gil/AP dilutes a big part of the challenge.
>>
>>4117225
>a low level run?
why though? AFAIK that should only be doable with savescumming, tool-assistance(some would call it cheating), or abusing certain blue magic.

>>4117282
the fastest "normal" way to do it in FF5 is with the Tamer class which is kind of boring.
>>
>>4117653
You can already grind on the veldt, kill cactaurs, steal and run, etc.
I haven't played the rereleases, but if I had the option in the 90s I would have used cheats. You'll get the same gameplay experience minus some time-wasting stuff that adds no actual challenge. If anything you might be able to beat the game at an even lower level, making it more challenging.
Only thing I can think of is that you have to skip some fights since they give exp, e.g. with 0 exp cheats you'll be able to fight the guards at the imperial banquet.
>>
>>4117685
You just don't get it. Sad.
>>
>>4117653
so don't grind then
>>

don't ruin it for him, he has to figure that out like abusing the fuuuuuuuuuu out of chemistry or blue magic
>>
>>4117225
this games a bit too linear, and doesnt give you the right tools until the very end to actually get creative
5 is definitely much better suited to it with its job system
