need list of important/need to have/awesome gear and espers.... also.....

[mindfray]

using the snes version.

right now i just got the espers from zozo, so i would like to know the things that can be found near this part of the game. i don't want to miss anything good.

like what town is the theif at that sells an esper for 3000 gp? when can you get that?
also heard of some nice rare items can be found before floating island. what are those and what do i need to do, what shops are they at etc.

this game has so many awesome items, i don't want to miss out on the good ones.
