The correct option in the first game is always to dump the sword.

Picking the shield or the bonker both have merits.

I personally prefer the shield, at least on proud mode.

for some reason if it came to choice right now.

take shield. drop the sword

i'll get the guts to do the series eventually. it's the chain of memories content that kinda blows in 1.5 (because it's card based action battle).

If Im playing a game like this where I need to make a decision that will determine my gameplay for the rest of the game and I have never played the game before, this is me for the next 5 minutes

If you want to go through the postgame, Id say go Staff. If not, then just choose what you want, the game can be beaten with any combination.

When I was a kid I always kept the sword and dropped the shield, and after replaying the game as an adult I learned I was playing on hard mode by doing that.

Time is a funny thing, you know? I guess in the big picture of my life, you were only a blip. But oftentimes, those "blips" make the biggest impacts.

Any combo works, but you can't max out your MP if you don't choose the Staff, IIRC.

i always go staff drop sword
that extra MP and the abilities you get from leveling make things absurd with ripple drive
you can also get the extra benefits of picking sword or shield with power or defense ups, while in kh1 there's no item to boost your MP like those

magic very quickly becomes a nuke and your physical output is not too bad either

I always picked sword and dropped staff. This topic seems to suggest I was doing it wrong lol.

Sword offers nothing

Shield you get an xtra item slot

Staff +1 mp. Total mp=magic damage

2nd game no special bonus. Staff gives item find ability at 99 though.

+ Shield - Sword is usually what I do these days, though + Staff is worth it for the extra MP that you cant otherwise get.
