I actually like a lot the item duple, too, though there are other ways to achieve Excaliburs and similars (ninja throwing). I love to get them on chapter 2, haha, but didn't manage to do it on LFT, on my first run (currently gameplay).
By the way, I just found something to be very strange... You exchanged the attack powers of Excalibur and Save the Queen, right, Laggy? Ok, no problema with this (more balanced, by the way). The problem is that the AI throws weapons based on the ninja's level and weapon's power. Like, Lv99 and 98 - Chaos Blade; Lv97 - Ragnarok; Lv96 - Save the Queen; Lv95 - Excalibur; Lv94 - Defender. But Excalibur now has the power of the Save the Queen, and I received it on Lv96, in the place of that one. The next one, so, on Lv95, should be Save the Queen... but no! He just throwed a Defender on me! I can't get Save the Queen using the AI Throw anymore!
Maybe that's a problem related to the exchange of attack powers of Excalibur and Save the Queen?
Attack of mimes just made me remember one thing. I love that battle on Bervenia. It's so unfair! I did some tactics to it: using Vanish Mantle. This way they just keep killing themselves, due to the Void Knight who is crazy. The drawback is that I need to put at least two visible chars, I think (usually two monsters); if not, the Void Knight uses a skill from hell who kills my two person chars and leaves Ramza almost dead, even them being invisible. The skill affects the entire field, and only enemies!
He used once when I had just one visible monster, but didin't do it before when I used too...
Once I almost did it! The only enemies left were the Void Knight and Juno, the "Delita" guy. But I actived a trap with Agrias and she became visible, and then my heaven fell, haha.
One question: Isn't possible to activate Sunken State while performing (dacing or singing)?
