What is your preferred Weapon choice (Sword, Staff, Shield) in Kingdom Hearts 1?

[Ventus_ 396]

I prefer to keep either the shield or the staff and discard the sword.

I always take sword and discard the staff. Like...from guides, I can just equip rings to make my magic stronger and make Thundaga viable for when exp grinding.

I'm weird, I would always discard the shield and go with the sword and staff....and I wonder why I died so much.

I used to always pick the sword, but on my more recent playthroughs I'm trying to maximize stats, and you get more MP by picking the staff. Now it's usually +Staff and -Sword. But my heart will always belong to +Sword, -Shield because THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE.

Staff and give up shield, cause it's the best option for KH Level 1. Every other choice just isnt good for Level 1

I used to discard the staff for the sword, but recently I started to choose the shield and discard the staff just to change it up

[The Transcendent Key 12,109]

I've always chosen the sword and discarded the staff, and I've done this all the times I've played through Kingdom Hearts I, though there is that one time I chose the shield, but other than that, my choice is always the sword and I discard the staff.

I always took the shield and gave up the staff. Even in KH2 I always take the shield. For Once More to come early.

Usually take sword and give away staff, but when I'm playing on critcal I kinda prefer taking the Shield and giving away the staff^^

I'm the kind of guy who prefers more defense than offense, but not so little offensive punch that I do peanuts to enemies.  Magic is useful, yes, but you will garner enough magic to defeat any foe over the course of the game.  Now, talking about starting abilities: as I said before, I'm a defense before offense guy, so acquiring Guard and Leaf Bracer fairly early on is great.

I always take the Staff, then give up the Sword 10 years ago. And i am still doing it to this day.
