Sword or Esper?

[The Unknown Guru]

I went with the Esper, as I really don't need the sword that much and it's a lot more convenient than the Paladin Shield.

[Xurts]

I took the Esper. Getting the Paladin Shield is too much work.

Well, it's easier than doing the "Dodge the 200 Lightning Bolts in a row" Quest from FF X

[Ichimonji]

Esper. It's a lot more satisfying for 100% completion to see a shiny new Esper on the board as well as the magic: Ultima.

it's funny how people say the Esper gives 100% completion when in fact it adds nothing to the game you can't get otherwise.

What other way can you get the Ragnarok summon?

[BustaMo]

I'm at the end of FFVI now and I took it as teh sword because equiped with Gauntlet it hits for 510 Attack Power. I never use Espers in FFVI, so I'll take the Ultima spell that Ragnarok would have taught me and learn it from teh Palidan Shield instead.

I took the Weapon.

but what is the purpose of the esper... to teach you Ultima. And you can get Ultima otherwise. The esper itself, is nothing special. For the most part summons are not significant in this game. There are a few good ones, but Ragnarok is not one of them.

Sure, but there's no other way to get the summon than with the magicite, whether it's good or not.

There is no other way to get the ragnarok sword or illumina

That's not the point.

it adds nothing to the game you can't get otherwise

[Prancing Mad]

ahhh the eternal question

[theundeadhero]

You can steal the sword from one of the Goddess statues in Kefka's Tower. Isn't all this common knowledge by now?
