    I'm curious how you phrased this to them. You seem to be a stickler for phrasing it exactly as the boss does, and yet you (and everyone else who talks about this move) typed "Prime" when the boss move is called "Indivisible". I'm fully aware that 1 is not a prime number (and that the game does not accept 1 as a valid answer for this move), but doesn't it fit the definition of indivisible? I think it would be perfectly reasonable for a math major to consider 1 to be indivisible.

    I imagine this is just a simple matter of localization (perhaps other languages to somehow specify "prime" more explicitly) and unfortunately having the move called "prime" in English is not a clear indicator of what you're supposed to do.

    Again, the boss move is called "Indivisible," but the boss literally tells players to "Calibrate vitals to primes." Yes, EXPLICITLY "primes."

    Yes, and as "Divide by X" or "Indivisible" is casting, a HUGE popup directly in the middle of the screen says "Calibrate vitals to multiples of X" or "Calibrate vitals to primes." Apparently, everyone only reads the cast bar and stops paying attention to everything else on the screen during this fight.
