He was Augus in the original translation. I gotta say it's one of the names I'm more satisfied with in this one, Argus just sounds a lot more fitting.

And he's usually pretty hard too. If Katt is in the party (and she should be), she's the least protected character from his attacks and you're forced to use her in the first or second place of the party where she is very likely to be attacked.

While I thought it would have been overkill to farm for money needed to get the overpowered Maniro equipment available at this point, I did buy Katt the best gear in the town's shop, and it seemed to do the job. I didn't get anything for Rand but I changed his gear to what was left over from Ryu in the beginning of the battle. Even though Rand doesn't have survivability issues like Katt, extra defence can't hurt.

Argus attacks twice each turn and if he does any charged attacks or criticals, we're in trouble. Luckily, he didn't even touch Katt at all.

Also, if there's anything I'm really happy about in this translation it's the villain lines. They actually do sound like villain lines now.
