I played in a d&d campaign where the material plane and plane of air merged forcing the entire crust of the planet (and water) to start floating. It was a gigantic planet of floating islands with the core below the islands surround by impassible steam clouds. All the ships had what we called float stones to fly and sail the world.
@@TheReturnersHideout I know. But you also knew :) You worded it very carefully so we can assume this, but can backtrack when told this. Anyway, I love your channel. It's all good, bro. We all got to make a living.
@ I’ve seen lots of others use a similar approach with titles and unfortunately (even medical articles are using this same method these days which is abhorrent) it takes a lot to catch attention. I’m just rolling with punches, as slimy as it sometimes feels.
@@Ragekolb I’m sorry that made you leave the channel (considering I’ve only done it 2-3 times for over 200 videos), but do at least be aware of it everywhere else too. Not just here on TH-cam, even though your biggest TH-camrs do it daily. News articles, medical journals - unfortunately this is where we’re at now.
Level up to mid-high 20s at the peninsula, get the canoe, go to the Castle of Trials/Ordeals/Whatever and get the Ice Sword and Heal Staff, the Rat's Tail and the other goodies, THEN go to the Ice Cave and demolish everything. Then go get the fairy bottle and the money from Cardian Islands and stop in and say hello to Bahamut and get promoted. Then go clean out the Waterfall Cave followed by the Sea Shrine.
Your incorrect about what you can't run from. At least in the NES version the undead pack on the trap tile is 100% runable, this was changed in the PR. Frost Dragons are also 100% runable. The only unrunable battles in the ice cave are wizards, frost giants and the eye.
I’ve tried to run from that pack several times, maybe I’ll run through that section again - frost dragons too. I’ll let you know what I find, I’ve got the game for NES loaded as we speak
Nah, you're supposed to grind to level 48 near Pravoca before even stepping foot near Elfland. Then, once you reach the ice cave, you can fight all the battles and still make it through and have the airship in two minutes. Uematsu told me this once via personal correspondence.
Reminder that Evil Eye is also one of the better grind opponents since it is always tile-activated (except in Pixel Remaster...). So whether you wanna grind before or after promoting, it's easy exp and money to revisit it as you can fight it every two steps; Mind the spells, but it yields SO much more than the threat it presents (especially with Death protection).
I was happily playing a different game until i watched a some of your FF1 videos a few days back. Now im sitting on a completed save file with 4 White Wizards on the pixel remaster. Not sure what happened there.
@TheReturnersHideout It was my first go around with the pixel remaster version. I was overall very impressed with what they did with it. The difficulty caught me off guard at first as it seems like it was ramped up a bit, except for Warmech whom I felt was heavily nerfed.
I remember being lost and desperate at the little river labyrinth. I could've sworn I explored every single path, and finally found the Ice Cavern after giving up and looking up the path. The slow transition for the map screen and the endless random encounters were my limit, apparently. Do you know who gives you the clue to use the Levistone at the desert? A prophet at Elfheim. The guys who very poorly prompt you to visit them later in the game. One of them gives you useless information about the Ice Cavern, and the other one gives you the sole clue in the entire game about where to use the Levistone. Thank goodness we moved on to better guidance systems, aye?
How does one get the canoe in 2 mins exactly? You skip past hours of walking, not to mention getting the TNT which is the only way to get to the town that contains the canoe. Without a glitch you can't do it. This is a very misleading title.
@sarcasticguy4311 yeah I get why it's funny lol. I was just offering some alternatives. I also don't remember floater being commonly used back then but maybe it's just my age.
At first I thought you meant speedrunning to the airship with a glitch.
I wish I was better at speedrunning in general! But nope - maybe one day!
So did I... I was like whhhaaaatttt.... lol

This title is misleading. I thought 2 min. from the start of the game.
No no, the guide is 2 minutes. That's all.

Just checked it - you're right on the NES version! I guess my wires got crossed from playing the updated versions! Thank you for the correction!
You don't need to run away from anything. The monster health in Final Fantasy is laughably low.
@@sarcasticguy4311 I don't see how that's at all relevant to my comment

This is my go to grinding spot in the game (prior to the Pixel Remaster). It's the best ROI for time spent vs exp earned! Thank you so much!
Solid advice. Those frost dragons are no joke.

That’s awesome! I was hoping my videos might inspire some folks to try out the game!

Yeah, your title makes it sound like an exploit that allows you to get the airship in 2 minutes. Click bait title.
Right. Under two minutes. When you get to the right spot with the floater, use it. Boom done in 15 seconds.

Hideout knowledge 💪
First thing I do when i get the airship is go buy the squad ProRings if I can afford them.
"Two minutes" + hours of set up time beforehand...
Thank you for the information, King of Cornelia! I will do as you suggsted, sire.
Why not Float Stone or just Float?
Actually, I don't remember "floater" being a euphemism for bodily functions back then.
Original game called it "floater" which was hysterically funny at the time since it implied it was in a toilet.
@sarcasticguy4311 yeah I get why it's funny lol. I was just offering some alternatives.

Nice
I must of missed it in the game - who tells you to go to the desert?
I think maybe one of the circle of sages maybe might mention it?
2 minutes, 30 minutes what’s the difference? lol 😂 keep on ff1, I will keep watching 🎉
