Order of Restoring the Crystals

[VolnuttHeroP64]

In Final Fantasy 1, do you have to Restore the Crystals in this order:
Earth, Fire, Water & Wind
before doing the Last Quest

Just a question I have.

hmm I remember FF1 a very linear game so everything was restored in a pre-determined order

The PS1 Version and onwards has the order of Earth, Fire, Water and Wind.

Once you do Earth (and then get the airship) you can do them in whatever order you want.

So during the Water Crystal, you get the Airship?
Because when I did Water, I got the airship then continued to the Castle of Trials to get Job Change Side Quest done and continued to do the Water Crystal Quest.

Once you have the earth crystal, you can get the canoe. The canoe allows you to get to the ice cave with the levi stone that unlocks the airship. At this point you can get the job upgrades and get the remaining crystals in any order you want, as long as you know the location of the key items needed to access them. Though fire, water, wind is still recommended as the dungeons get harder in that order.

I did the Fire Crystal before the Class Change when I played the Game.

Class change is completely optional.

But if the player does so, then they'll be able to access the rest of the spells using a Black Wizard and White Wizard.
The Knight can use Level 3 White Magic & The Ninja uses Level 4 Black Magic.
Also, you'll be able to use the Excalibur Sword once you find the Rare Metal during the Wind Crystal Quest and bring it to the Dwarf Lords once you have the Knight Class.

Ok? But what does that have anything to do with the order of restoring the crystals?

As the enemies encountered get harder.

I will always go Earth, class upgrade, Water, Wind, Fire. Of course by the time I arrive at Mount Gulg I roll up the entire dungeon with ease
