*Although, by and large, the Ragnarok sword is more useful than the Esper, there are things to be gained by using the Esper's Metamorphosis attack in battle. This command transforms enemies into items. More often than not, useless items, especially Dried Meat, turn up, but certain enemies turn up better results. Below are the best transformations.
