Oh sorry, I was just speaking out of my own opinion there, should've put an IMHO. You see, I was a SA user in both tri and 3U (because I was new to the game and more than one weapon at a time would give me an aneurysm). The S.Zin Axe is better than the Ala axe due to the power phial, and you could get it way earlier in game. As for armor, the defense is nice but elemental resistance was bad, along with the fact that its skills didn't matter to me.. But for other weapons I do agree Ala is superior.
