Thanks for the help on my previous question and it worked out well. Im on top of the follower's tower and fighting the boss. I kill him pretty easily but his last ditch effort (Ultima) owns me and kills everyone. I have Terra's and Lock's mblock % close to 100, like 96% or so. Mog and Celes are around 70%. They all die when he casts Ultima. I also cast shell on them and they still die. Is there another thing i could do to ensure life after Ultima?

My other question was at the weapon shop in Narshe, what is better to get the Ragnorak Sword or esper? I was leading toward the esper because Ultima like its name implies is usually one heck of a spell. But the Ragnorak sword is amazing. What do you guys think?

Once again thanks for all the help, it is greatly appreciated.
