3 partys I'll consider:
Black Mage, Fighter, Thief, Red Mage - aka. "The 8-bit Theatre Party"

Fighter, Monk, Black Mage, White Mage - aka. "the one i'll probably use"

White Mage, White Mage, White Mage, White Mage - aka. "the what the hell was I thinking party"

They get rid of White Mage? That sucks, I was hoping they'd get rid of the Red Mage. There's a walkthrough on GameFAQs for having a party of all white mages and one of having a party of nothing but fighters.

I read a startegy guide on FFI and here's some help for those wondering about the class upgrade:

Spoiler: show

After you light the Earth crystal you can go straight to getting the airship and then getting Bahamut to upgrade your classes. After you light the first one you have to go to a place that's near a crescent lake using the ship you got from the pirate. If you walk past the space between the black and white magic shops of the town and keep walking you'll see a group of people with red robes and one of them gives you a canoe, which allows you to go on the rivers. The river you want is the first one just north of the village. If you go down there, I don't remember the exact directions, you will find a cave which is called the ice cave.

After you go through it and defeat the boss there's a chest where you fought him which holds a 'floater' which allows you to get to the desert south of the village near the crescent lake, took me a while to figure out exactly how. But you have to go on the river south of the village, near the desert and then go left onto land using ther floater in the desert. The you have to find this place called 'The Castle fo Ordeals'. It's in a secluded area and you can go a long way using the airship to land or you can go a shorter way using the boat and the canoe. After you pass the castle you will get an item called the rats tail(but I think the game just calls it a tail)

Then there's a bunch of islands which show white dots on the map(hold whatever button cancel is and hit select) Try everyone of them until you find one that takes you to Bahamut and give him the tail and he will upgrade your classes.

Well, I hope that helps. Oh, the whole spoiler is my shortened version of Chzn8r's guide of that part on GameFAQs.
