    Default best relic

    Which relic do you think is best, or most useful, or your favorite, or whatever?

    I say the Marvel Shoes because they give you shell, protect (I think), haste, and regen all for free. These prove especially useful if you like battling in the Coliseum.

    Also, the Zephyr Cape is great for evade and randomly blocking attacks.

    For a single Relic, it's likely the Marvel Shoes, which indeed confer those four beneficial statuses. Some of the others are very popular in conjunction, however. Economizer/Gem Box is a well-known combination, as is Offering/Genji Glove. And I've always been a fan of the Ribbon (seen in FFVI for the first time as a Relic/accessory). Still, I'll stick with Marvel Shoes.

    Ribbons. Im usually so far ahead in levels that I dont really need a lot of protection from physical and magical attack, so I like the ribbon because it keeps my people from getting those nasty STDs.

    They're all good, though.

    The relics, not the STDs.

    Why didn't you tell me this before we got married! Now our kids will have poison too! Stupid good for nothing asshole, mother was right about you. I'm leaving you! Don't come looking for me! Carlitos and I have been having an afair and will be out of the country by sunrise. There I can try and live out the rest of my life, battling poison.

    Throughout the course of the entire game, I've always found the Running Shoes (casts Haste) to be the most useful. It doesn't make you powerful, but you can hit 'em more often, which is just as good.

    Why take Running Shoes over Marvel Shoes, which add Protect, Shell, and Regen in addition to Haste?

    You get Running Shoes early.

    I'd have to go with the offering. Failing that it'd be the Box or the Genji glove. Anything to boost the amount of attacks.

    Default Economizer!

    I like Economizer for it helps Relm to cast Ultima on just about everything almost for free... Good thing I got one.

    The Zephyr cape's good too. It helped a LOT when I beat Kefka with only one person (Relm of course) (Not counting the dead people or Terra & Shadow who came in last but killed themselves right when Kefka came out before they could affect the battle in any way).

    I cast my vote for the Offering, but I'd have to say the Zephyr Cape was damn usefull, too. With a Snow Suit on Gau and two Zephyr Capes, prettymuch nothing can hit him, it's awesome.

    give someone the Paladin shield plus the Marvel Shoes and a Zephyr Cape (and throw on the Illumina Sword for good measure) and you have a nearly unstoppable force all in one character. (not that you even really need th Zephyr Cape in that situation. Maybe a Muscle Belt instead.)

    If I have to choose only one then I'll go for the Economizer (or Three Stars, like it was called in my version of the game).
    I am an intensive magic user and casting all those Ultima spells, Life3, Cure3 and so on at only 1 MP expense was just terrific.

    Out of the things listed I'd have to say the Offering, but of course I'm a TRUE fan with the Genji combo. I also always take the time to level up, so I often find that having that combo equipped I can take out most enemies without ever being attacked. For this same purpose, however, I am a huge fan of the Moogle Charm when you finally get it. Few things are more annoying than being attacked every 5 steps by enemies who aren't worth your time, or being attacked when you have a party where all are level 99 already.
