Thread: FFIII: Two Swords or Sword and Shield?

    Default FFIII: Two Swords or Sword and Shield?

    Note: this section may contain spoilers, so stop reading now if you want to avoid them.

    Which is better? Early in the game I use the two swords regularly, but I switch to sword and shield when I hit the ancient ruins so that my knights/M.Knights/Ninjas don't get hit for 1000+ damage all the time. This is helpful in the ridiculusly long dungeons without a save point or recovery area at the end of the game. Let's hear your comments on this.
    Some people choose the path straight and narrow,
    others take the road less travelled,
    I cut through the woods

    I always go 2 weapons. The extra damage is much mroe worth it in my opinion then a bit more defense. It's especially for Garuda having a party of 4 dragoons each with 2 spears. He goes down much faster then each guy with a single spear.

    Two swords. I don't think I've ever equipped a shield.


    Just, ehh, ignore the Neo in the name NeoZellMog. Ah heh. Long story.

    Yeah, they really made it unbalanced in that respect. You can sit there and take damage with a slight defense increase, or you can killify everything before it has a chance to touch you with your humungous offensive gain.

    True!

    The shield isn't worth it at all!!

    Two Weapons is my way!!

    And in FF3 I'm at Dorga's Cave If it wasn't for the two sowrds I'll be stuck in the beginning of the game

    2 Weapons. Always 2 Weapons. Since I ALWAYS have a White Mage/Sage in the party with 830,000 Level 1 Heals available, taking a little extra damage now and again is no big deal. And besides, when you do so much extra damage, you kill things before they get a chance to hurt you at all. Truly, the best defense is a potent offense - at least in this game :P
    No profanity in sigs please.
    Sigh. What profanity? I quoted Sephex's post from Eyes on Each Other from about a year ago, and any "profanity" in his post was either **** or ***** anyway. Whatever. And you wonder why forum traffic is way down.

    Two weapons. Supremely powerful, and defence doesnt block much anyway, so I go with supreme attack stats. I am playing FF3 right now I got my fighter with two Mithril swords its awesome. I am not that far in the game, but i lovvveee this game!! Go with the 2 weapons!!! :chop: :shoot:

    Two is always better than one...unless it's Matrix sequels.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Yup, two weapons. Or, in the case of monks, no weapons.
