    Default Sword or Esper?

    Did you get the Ragnarok Sword or Esper? I got the sword, cause I can get Ultima from the Paladin Sheild, and I'd never Morph anyway. Plus its stat increases make my ultimate strategy work better.

    Oh, and in case you where wondering here's my ultimate strategy

    I normally pick the Esper because I'm lazy. It makes my day to get a free Economizer from a Brachosaur instead of waiting for it to drop one.

    But someday, I'll actually go through with it and get the Paladin's Shield.

    I don't have the patience to get the Paladin Shield unless I'm abusing fast-forward on an emulator.

    Always the Esper. I like Metamorphing stuff too.

    Esper, cause I like having them. Plus turning monsters into something useful is good.

    Esper...I like to have all the espers in my collection...Plus the sword I always go and get the Illumia and that sword drains all your MP. If only it did the same damage without draining your MP...
    If I were a Final Fantasy Boss, I would be named something cool like Super-Ultra-Foxtrot-Omega Weapon or something cool like that...

    I usually get the sword because there's not much good stuff that you can Metamorph. Then again, sometimes I pick the esper for a different style playthrough.

    I prefer the sword, because the esper ends up being useless. If you're going for a "perfect" game, the sword is the correct choice because having the esper doesn't give you anything you can't obtain otherwise.

    Sword so I can trade it at the Colisseum for an even better sword, the Illumina

    the esper because i dont really need the sword or the illumina.
    Locke uses atma weapon
    mog uses pearl lance i belive
    shadow uses gladius i belive
    gogo uses scimitar or sky render i belive

    whatever it is everyone ends up hitting at 9999 anyways. i get the esper so i can get ultima even quicker then going through the annoyance or changeing the cursed shield into the paladin shield.

    I take the sword. I never summon espers in the game, but I usually go through the colliseum and get a few merit awards, so it's useful having a strong weapon. Ultima (or really magic in general) isn't really important in this game to me. As soon as I get the cursed shield I equip it on Sabin with a ribbon and then continue on with the game until it's uncursed, but afterwards I never really shoot for teaching people magic off it. It's just a high quality shield.

    the sword, it helps from the time you can get it to the end of the game, the characters i have using magic don't really need ultima, i don't even bother getting the paladin shield.
