ReCast FF3: War of the Magitek

That might be it. It's possible I might have told him to wear the uniform and not even noticed. My bad then. XD

Yeah, he's in the banquet hall after the feast ends, staring at the turkey.  If you talk to him, he asks if he can take the uniform off or not.  If you say no, an event flag is set that makes him wear it until the world ends (but only when you're looking).  ...Or maybe that's the default and letting him take it off sets the event flag... I can't remember now.

Honestly, I did nothing with the Espers.  Actually, I had Sabin dual-wielding the fire elemental claws (managed to Steal one earlier), hitting him from behind, and Berserked with the RageBand (I also got a critical hit).  He died in two attacks, and Sabin got both of those attacks off before Ultros actually moved.  And that was before I moved to the new version where I could use the Hero Ring effectively; depending on how much you buffed Ultros' HP, I wouldn't be surprised if I OHKO'd him if I had the Hero Ring.  Even without the Hero Ring, I did enough damage to OHKO vanilla Ultros.

Also, I notice that Number 024 is still vulnerable to Sleep.  Was that intentional?

Well, I guess it supports the funny about Ultros that he's such a pushover, and I'm terrible at my own hack (either that, or I run from fights too much in a rush to test events).

Yeah, 024 is vulnerable to sleep because he's a human character, at least human enough considering what magic infusion does to people.  He's also weak to poison before he wall-changes; if you can get off a Slash or a Suplex early in the fight you basically one-shot him.  These vulnerabilities are no longer in play when he returns as L100 Magic.  Considering the factory has four boss fights basically in a row, it felt prudent to nerf them.  024 self-destructs if you let him wall-change too much, 128 will explode if you chop off its arms, and the cranes have reduced HP because the pincer damage advantage was really unfair.


EDIT: Oops, that should say Refractor, shouldn't it? Dang event treasures not using dynamic item names.
