Honestly, using 4 red mages was the best combination. It allowed you to do pretty much everything you wanted all game long. The only downside was that without a fighter, you had no one that could use the XCalber late in the game. As a completionist, that always bugged me.

I also beat it with 4 fighters. Doing that you could really beat the tar out of everything, but you had to carry around a ton of potions...

I didn't like using red mages (for the most part).
I loved how they can do a little bit of everything, but I hated that they weren't really awesome at any one thing. I guess I just wanted some variety lol

When I first played it I always kept one in my party though.
