@ChrisMDB I can see that, I can also see an argument for "it's challenging", I think it's subjective. But in my subjective opinion it wasn't really fun to have to play in such an odd way. it felt kind of tedious. but yeah it's subjective I'm not an authority lol
Lockirby2 6 Jul 2024 13:55
@notjohn IMO it's in a weird spot where this is an interesting challenge for people who have beaten the game before, but probably not as much fun if it's your first experience with the game.
Kinlaien 6 Jul 2024 16:20
@Lockirby2 I agree with that completely. I really enjoyed the challenge, but I have been playing the game for decades and regularly run the randomizer. As such, my knowledge base is probably a little higher than the average RA user and would cause an unfair bias.
permafrosty 8 Jul 2024 18:10
Victory :) Thanks for the set, I used BB/BB/WM/RM and got all the cheevos in one go
AstralLight 23 Jul 2024 03:18
Mastered! Very fun and chill set for an amazing classic :D
tigersbowling 29 Jul 2024 14:12
I've never played this game before. Is it recommended to split this into two playthroughs for first time players? Any tips on a starting class for a new player?
Kinlaien 29 Jul 2024 14:30
If I am being honest, I would play through the game "naturally" the first time and then plan on playing it maybe twice more after you have the knowledge you need to smooth things over. Monsters like WarMECH are harder than all the original Fiend fights, and doing the no chest achievement might be too frustrating for a first timer. For a good starting party, I suggest Warrior, White Mage, Black Mage, and whatever 4th besides thief. I use Red Mage, and many like Monk, but you can do whatever; even a 2nd Warrior if you really want a tanky party.
tigersbowling 31 Jul 2024 18:25
Thank you, I will give that a try once I finish up Dragon Warrior. I started a while ago but found it HARD at the beginning when you're fighting 7 enemies at level 1 and struggling to accumulate gold to heal.

I've been playing this on vacation with my 11 year old nephew over my shoulder and he's fascinated by it. Loving this game.
DainBread 18 Aug 2024 23:11
Finally mastered this properly after doing it in softcore as my first game... I went for Merchandise Madness, Don't Change For Anyone, and Balmless Battler in one shot... don't do that, that's silly. XD
vintageclassicgamer 19 Aug 2024 00:13
@clockking you're a good sensei to your nephew.
monski147 20 Aug 2024 04:49
First RA 100%. This set taught me a lot of strategies for the game. Great list.
Sonic1979 21 Aug 2024 12:37
Checking the cheevos and comments 2 full runs to master. This was my first full-on rpg as a youth and look forward to AT LEAST one full playthrough!!
fivefivefiver 3 Sep 2024 20:24
Why doesn't this set support the japanese ROM? :(

Mastered #12.
This is the first time I've played the NES original.
Knowing how jank and broken the game is, well, that didn't really matter in the end. The game refuses to really tell you anything about, well, ANYTHING in regards to the gameplay. So it kind of leads to you looking up a bunch of stuff, and that circumvents the issues with non-functional stuff.

That said, I wanted to do an RPG that I could let run mindlessly with grinding (Which is something that cropped up a decent amount due to the way I combined chestless and no class upgrade, leading to, more than anything, a constant lack of money) and this was not it. Due to how the enemy targeting works, you kinda have to pay attention. Whoops.

On that note, I'm not sure about the balancing of the game. I never felt I was overleveled in the dungeons itself, but bosses just fell over in a few hits.

The achievements seem perfectly fine, it's not really unreasonable to do them in one go, though it will certainly alter the run significantly. Though doing it this way means that once you finish, you'll spend a few hours chest hunting, which is a bit dull.
AdamRA 18 Sep 2024 18:34
Ugh! Missed "Merchandise Madness" because I accidentally saved after beating Tiamat with the Bane Sword. Guess I'll have to do a speed run, bummer.
Lockirby2 18 Sep 2024 19:06
Oof, I feel your pain there. :P I'm always worried about doing something like that.
AdamRA 22 Sep 2024 16:52
Four days later...mastered. Be careful over-writing your save files. Some tips: the Evil Eye in the Ice Cave is a great grinding spot, went from 18-34 fairly quickly there. Like others have said, BB, BB, RM, WM is a great combo, I would have gotten the no chest, no class change and no healing achievements in one go if I didn't mess up.
pfontaine147 4 Oct 2024 06:43
My 3rd remaster! Overall, I appreciate the updated and streamlined achievement set. Because of the new achievements, I beat the game with a party of Black Belts, which I had never attempted before. It was challenging and fun, which is the great joy of these achievements, creating a reason and context for playing the game differently and enjoying it in a new or different way. Thanks for the revised set!

Mastery #37
Took me 2 runs / if i had planned it out better I should not have combined the No Chest / No Class Upgrade together. I should have done the no class upgrade with the 100% playthrough.

BUT, regardless this is an all time classic and a fantastic set!
