Changed all jobs to Basic/Freelance with the best possible abilities and equipment, spammed Fire 3 all the time while keeping my characters healthy and "hasted", but it never dies. Unlike FF6 there is no MP-damage magic in FF5 as long as I know, so I can't find the way to remove his MP, and the HP is so insane I can't defeat after thousands of Fire 3 (of around 5000 HP each).
Honestly, even though I made the translation, I never got as far as Skull Dragon, but some other players did (using the translation, so it definitely is winnable). From what they said, the key is [spoiler]as you thought, MP-damage; FF5 has multiple ways of draining MP. In vanilla (sorry, my FF5r memory is rusty) there's Osmose (available later? Lv6 magic in vanilla, might have to return later), Magic Hammer (should be by now), Dark Ether mix (enemy MP = 25%, Ether+Dark Matter), Lilith's Kiss mix (45pwr MP drain, Maiden's Kiss + Ether or Elixir). Use Dragon Power mix (Dragon Fang + Potion/Hi-Potion) to increase your level for accuracy.[/spoiler]
The above spoiler is ScarabEnigma's suggestions on how to clear the fight.
There's no real info about the translation because I just threw it together in a week and quietly released it on Discord without any hype or getting anyone to actually play it (other than a few testers) :p
