In the US version of Final Fantasy 3 (or Final Fantasy 6 for you purists out there) you can get a cursed shield. Break the curse and you get the best shield in the game, the Paladin Shld. Pretty snazzy, eh?

Later on in the game you get another cursed item, the Cursed Ring, which is also cursed... obviously.

Logically, though, you'd assume that if you could uncurse this ring then it'd be super-awesome, too, right?

Not quite.

It doesn't matter what you do to the thing, you can wear it in a million battles, you can wear the ring by itself while you fight a thousand dinosaurs (kinky!), or you can try to fight five hundred battles by using nothing but superballs. It won't matter. The cursed ring stays cursed, and essentially worthless.

Although, you can use it to learn X-Zone if you want, so it's not a total waste.
