FFIII party advice
I just started FFIII for the DS and my head is a-swimmin with all the different party combos.
Can anyone forsee an issue if I did not use a white mage?
I want to do:
warrior, thief, black mage, red mage.
I don't want to go down this path if I need really need the white mage.
What has been some successful party combos people are using now?

You'll want the White mage. Though the Red Mage can use black and white magic, the depth of the magic is limited and will make the game more difficult down the road.

black mages and white mages aren't that useful as you progress. red mage is great but their mp pool sucks hardcore. i'd start with whm, blm, war, and mnk (or thf). then when your whm and blm are a decent lvl, switch them to rdm. you can switch them back to their old jobs for boss fights.

You can stick with a Red Mage for now since they can use white magic until level 5. After that you'll need (need, not want) a dedicated white mage to keep your party alive. Monks are amazing for fighting once they get to a high enough level where using bare fists gives them a higher attack. I'm not sure how much you know about the jobs so I won't spoil the classes you get later in the game. I found myself not using any form of black magic after the first few hours of the game.

Then I can do
warrior, fighter, red mage, white mage

There's no right or wrong answer. You can do whatever you want.

I finished it at about 27 hours doing some on the side quests. There aren't too many of them though cause it's a NES game. My party was somewhere in the mid to high 50's.

Hey, don't use me as basis for completion time.. I usually take more because I don't use guides and seem to feel kicking the shit out of the last boss at level 99 is fun. Now, you want to talk Metroid times.. I'll take that deity status.
