Been looking so long for the Warmech in FFI that I learned some equipments work as spells

Pixel Remaster version of #FinalFantasy I.

I had been going by Optimal in the Equip menu, but I was getting bored so started fiddling around, and then noticed things like the Razer and the Healing Staff mentioning in their descriptions they cast spells when used.

Curious, I made a quick save and tested them in battle as items, as equipping them didn’t do a thing and I didn’t see another way to “use” them.

Interesting that when used as items, they don’t deplete, nor consume MP, meaning infinite uses. Great for quickly dealing with trash mobs, specially in auto-battle, and equipments like the Healing Staff allow for a constant party-wide heal. Plus if using in auto-battle some single-target healing spell, e.g. by another equipment, it targets who needs healing, and not by memory.

Also amusing to see a Knight casting Scourge and instantly killing most enemies in the fight. e.e"

but where in the flipping-flip is the warmech

    If you don’t already know, the warmech will only appear on the bridge just before Tiamat. It’s like a ~1/60 chance IIRC, so just keep running back and forth on the bridge until you get it.

      1/64 in the NES version and 1/100 in the Pixel Remaster according to the Wikia 😩

      Also was reading some comments elsewhere, and times to find it vary wildly, some guy even mockingly saying Warmech causes headaches to be found since 1987.
