Reallly, I didn't know Gogo could do anything other than Mimic. I used the shard to make the sword instead and it looks like I won't be getting Ultima.
I'll give it a try.

I've always gotten the esper b/c the sword's seemed less useful to me when I can already hit high numbers without it. Plus Kefka dies in 1 turn to Locke w/o the sword, which is another reason I chose the esper.

Outside of netting a few rare items easily without the Coliseum and learning Ultima slightly early, I find I prefer getting the sword over the magicite cause the bonuses and damge are exceptional and it goes well with my favorite character Terra. I generally find attaining the Paladin Shield to be a better means of getting Ultima cause it also nets you an incredibly powerful piece of defensive equipment. I think getting the esper the first time through is a good choice but after finally breaking down and getting the Ragnarok sword in my last playthrough I don't think I will ever go back.

Gogo is a deceptive character and don't worry about not knowing about his status screen set up. I had played through and beaten the game several times before I stumbled upon it myself.
