as for the question that started it all, i picked the magicite, and thank the Lord i did! i just beat the game for the first time tonight, and all i used was ultima for just about every boss. i never needed the sword. thanks for all the advice everyone.
A week or so ago was my second time beating the game and it went by fast because I just did Ultima over and over.
So yes, I pretty much did the same thing as you!
My Gem Box user was even wiped out just before Kefka finally appeared and I still beat him on my first try.
But the first time I beat this game was several years ago.
And I don't think any of my characters even knew Ultima.
I barely taught them any spells at all.
I remember the battles being very challenging though.
Made it kinda more fun!
