I never used the magacite items that are in your item storage until today.
I was in the fanatics tower fighting MageMaster and suddenly Celes, Edgar and Terra died, leaving only Sabin (who didnt know life 2 or any strong magic). Luckily, he had a Wall Ring that kept him from dying, but everytime I used Fenix Down to revive my dead party, the MageMaster would kill them right away. So basically, I was stuck with Sabin, who would not die because of Wall Ring, but would eventually die when the Mage would cast Ultima. So I was screwed. Luckily, I began using the six Magacites I collected as items. All the espers were useless to me until the LAST magacite I used happened to be Pheonix, which revived my entire party!!!!! That saved me big time. In no time, I was able to kill the Mage Master. Just thought I'd share that great moment with you, cause this battle lasted about 20 minutes. -------------------- I'VE HAD AN ETERNITY TO PONDER THE MEANING OF THINGS. AND NOW I HAVE AN ANSWER... |

I see Magicite as a two edged sword, because Crusader can shows up and that will mean a Game Over ( most likely). I'm happy for you, because Magicite surely is versatile, and most of the time , good Esper can shows up, such as Kirin or Golem, I don't know about Odin or Raiden, though.

I could never bring myself to use those, after all you had to do to get them.

I've always preferred to use things that I could count on. Magicite is random enough that it's really only useful as a last resort, and I try not to get to that point.

I've only used Magicite once. It was early in the game, on my first run. I figured, 'Meh, what's the worst that could happen?" Bam. Crusader. ~7000 damage to a group that did'nt even have that much COMBINED. I have never, ever used that item again. I guess it might be fear. I dunno. Here's a thought though- Magicite is a dead esper, right? Then how can the item summon the SEALED Crusader?

Because Siefried is from the moon.
Bus seriously, I've used magicite at least 10 times in the past, and I have NEVER gotten Crusader... I guess I'm just lucky. -------------------- The island bathes in the sun's bright rays Distant hills wear a shroud of grey A lonely breeze whispers in the trees Sole witness to history ICO-You were there- |
