The Sword is a nice upgrade once it becomes available, but the Great Sword is even better and becomes available at the same time. They're sold in different Shops, so go find one and don't bother with a normal Sword.

The magic damage number early in the game is 16, the number of Hit Points that enemies return with after running away. If you have at least 18 Strength, the Sword will get you to that threshold. Of course, you only need two more points of Agility to wield a Great Sword, so that's probably a better choice of Weapon (and a better use of starting Stats) anyway.

The Sword is the best melee Weapon a Thief can wield, but most other jobs should spring the extra 50 Gold for a 2-H-Swd instead.
