    Default sword/magicite

    So, which did you pick and why?

    I always take the esper. There's plenty of decent weapons in the game and my main party can get by just fine without Ragnarok/Illumina/Lightbringer. I'd rather give everyone Ultima and have the ability to Morph creatures.

    Relm/Celes/Sabin/Terra WHAT.

    Sword, because I can learn Ultima from the Paladin Shield.

    I did not know that.... I had the shield equipped throughout the game though.

    Getting the Paladin Shield on a cartridge copy really sucks.

    I always choose magicite. I don't really have a use for either though since I barely ever use Ultima or weapons that drain MP. I'm an MP conservationist and the sword nor Ultima are MP friendly.

    I always got the Magicite as I felt that it made more sense to try to collect all of the Espers rather than all of the weaponry in the game.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    I always take the Sword when you can learn Ultima from the Paladin Shield. I don't need to aquire more items off the Magicite when you can steal/find most of them.

    Esper most of the time, I like getting all the espers more and some of the items in the game are difficult to acquire without Metamorph. Though the GBA version allows me to cheat and get both.

    I usually take the sword and learn Ultima from the Paladin Shield. I never found many useful items from Metamorph.

    How can you get the sword and the magicite in the Gameboy Advance version of the game?

    You can steal a Ragnarok and Ultima Weapon from the top of the tower before you fight Kefka and have the chance to save your game after the credits roll. I've got like, six of them.

    SNES: Sword

    GBA: Magicite

    Pretty obvious, really.

    SF=Super Famicom? Probably the same as SNES, unless there are differences in inventory I've not heard of.
