    I don't think it matters TOO much, outside of what level you gain access to certain abilities. There might be a couple exclusive abilities for each path, I can't remember.
    I'm almost certain that the shield is just bad and not worth taking.

      Choose either Staff or Shield, always drop Sword.

      Staff gives 2 more MP bars that you would never get otherwise. Shield gives an extra Equipment slot that you also never get other wise.Sword just gives more STR when leveling but you can craft STR boost to reach cap.

          No but you can get more exp by performing counters or hitting a weakness.

          No, XP progression is determined by the questions the children ask you, and no path actually gives 'more', it just makes certain level brackets less expensive and others more, the overall XP to reach 99 is always the same.

      It adds complexity to the game and the fact that the game isn't telling you what's going on makes the mechanic seem more interesting.

          I don't know if you've ever played a video game before, but the idea is that at first you don't know what's going on and how things work, and then with experience you figure it all out and master the game. Many people find this process fulfilling.

              What am I supposed to be coping with? I first played the game 18 years ago and have known the meaning of the weapons about that long as well. The game would be made worse if the disembodied voice told you what you're choosing; the mystical quality of the tutorial is part of the appeal of Kingdom Hearts.

              Silly Black person, you're not owed that item slot, it's a bonus for choosing that gameplay path. You don't have it with the sword, you don't have it with the rod, only with the shield. Are you also losing the extra MP from picking the rod if you don't choose it?

                Yes, and don't forget spell power scales with how many total bars you have.

                No, because you can cap MP in the other two still, you can cap Strength in the two non-Swords still, you CANNOT cap accessories in any other progression.

              Fricking secondary. When KH came out, nobody was searching for the "best option". I didn't even have the internet at the time.

              A game tying cryptic, mystical questions and decisions to RPG progression is fricking great.

              As this thread has illustrated, the best choice is a matter of opinion. And all complexity is artificial: it's a video game.

                I haven't played KH but shield seems objectively the best from what I've seen in the thread. The other two can be made up for, the shield has an item slot that you can't get otherwise

                The item slot stops being so important after the early game and the other two have objective advantages themselves. Shield is the "safe" choice, this is by design.

                and the Staff has +MP that can't be made up for. As mentioned earlier, this gives an increase to how much you can cast AND how much damage it does.

      I believe it really just effects how fast or slow you gain experience. They only did it in the first game though so you don't 'really' loose any stats or gain others. If i remember correctly

    Never the sword. You have to decide for yourself whether you'd rather have 3 extra MP or one extra item slot. Personally, I'd take the item slot, since accessories and make up for lost MP and then some, and nothing can get you back that item slot.

    Sword will get you attack-related abilities much sooner
    Staff will give you an MP point you can't get otherwise and magic-related abilities sooner
    Shield will get you an item slot you can't get otherwise and defense/utility-related abilities much sooner
    Dropping sword will make basic attacks stinky
    Dropping staff will make your magic shittier
    Dropping shield will give you glass bones

    Scan (see HP) is considered a Magic ability and you'll learn it at level 9 with the rod, 12 with the shield, and 15 with the sword, for reference

      Dead of night is the best. It reaches level 45 the fastest, whereas you're probably going to want to be around level 50 to beat the game anyway. And you need 71,524 fewer experience points to reach level 100 if you start in the dead of night versus midday.

    Pick rod to be the strongest at max level. You get an additional MP. This is more effective than you might think because spell effectiveness is determined by your max MP. So basically it's MP but also your Magic Power stat. Pick rod if you plan to lvl to max.
    Pick shield to get all the useful abilities much earlier. You get additional item slots, which are ok but not that big a deal. You generally dont use items unless something has gone wrong. Pick shield if you don't plan to lvl to max.
    Don't pick sword.
    For dropping, it doesnt really matter. It only affects a few attribute points which can all be permanently boosted by crafted consumable items later in the game.
