FF3 With Jonus Part 4: Division Cave Through Cloud of Darkness

This is the finale, where we push as far forward as we can without a Devout. We get pretty far -- all the way to the last three bosses (dragon, ahriman and Cloud of Darkness.) Bard is really good, but the raw healing output needed for the last bosses pretty much demands a Devout. You need to chug out around 1k-1.5k healing/turn to not die to double Meteors; a single Bard can sing you up about 500 HP. Even with us trying to maximize HP, we can't reliably survive double AoE spells. So, there we are. The end of FF3.

Overall, of the three NES Final Fantasies, I think this is my favorite. Still, the limitation of the early RPG combat system shows with the requirement on massive healing. It probably has aged the best out of the three, even if Jonus is lame and will never finish FF2.
