I'm rebuying this game but need a decison

[Shadow_]

Alright now alot of you know that I'm re buying the PS2 soon, and well I'm getting this game first. But I know in the beginning you can pick your weapon.

So which weapon should I pick for starting out?

This all depends upon how you fight. If you rely upon magic, take the staff and get rid of the sword (shield gives you HP). If you like to fight with the keyblade, then pick the sword and get rid of the staff. Point is, whatever you do, Do Not Get Rid of the Shield.

I say take the shield and agree do not throw it away.

 

[Sparks]

Staff. It gives you one more magic bar.
Get rid of the sword.

 

[megatron532]

Take sword, good-bye staff

 

[roXas_shadow]

Sword!

 

[Pheonex]

I usually take the shield and get rid of the staff

 

[WilliamTheWise]

Chose the Sword lose the Wand

 

[Xnairb]

if you take the staff and get rid of the sword, you will get all-around good stats. Thats what I always do

 

[Lifes.Lover]

No matter what, I always choose the staff and shield and I always throw away the sword.

It gives you better stats all around, as well as the ability to scan earlier on.

For a game that will ultimately net you better stats, choose the Staff first.

Magic strength is based on the total number of MP you can have. Thus, higher MP = stronger spells. MP is a stat that has no items that can improve it permanently, like Strength, Defence and AP do. Picking the shield and sword leaves you with a starting MP of 2, where the Staff gives MP of 3.

Then, if you get rid of the sword, its 3 MP, 3 AP, 2 Strength and 3 Defence.
If you get rid of the shield, you'll have 3 MP, 3 AP, 4 Strength and 1 Defence.

The shield. It's the perfect choice if you're a combant or magician. Get rid of the staff.

 

[Ienzo_VI]

Keep Sacrifice----HP-----MP---- AP----STR----DEF
sword shield------18------2 ------3----- 6--------1
sword staff-------18 -----2-------1----- 6---------2
shield sword------18------2-------3------4--------4
shield staff--------18------2-------1------5--------4
staff sword------ 18------3-------3------3--------3
staff shield--------18------3-------3------5--------1

Sorry if it's messy.

You don't know what you're talking about.

 

[Darkslayers]

I always choose the Staff, you get one more magic point or whatever, and it helps you in some parts of the game.

If you don't like that go with the Sword.

 

[Sparks]

I tried both. CHOOSE THE STAFFFFFF.....

I got rid of the shield and i still beat the game.

 

[Sparks]

Well you lose hp if you get rid of the sheild.

 

[Laz]

Well you lose hp if you get rid of the sheild.

that'd explain the short lifebar i had on level 56.But that wasnt a problem when beating the game.
