This robot appears as a boss in the 24-man Return to Ivalice raids in FF14: Stormblood. He has a mechanic where he reduces your hp to a single digit like 1,2,3, etc, and then orders players to run to specific circles marked with numbers to complete a simple equation. IE if you have 1 hp and he says "calculate vitals to multiples of five" you have to run to the 4 circle because 1+4=5. Failing this mechanic gives you an increase to damage taken and you are more likely to be killed by the subsequent arena-wide aoe. The second time he does it, he typically orders players to adjust their HP to a prime number.
Fun fact: The average MMO player absolutely doesn't know that.
Look on the bright side! Maybe it was demons
It's OK to just...not have units keep branching out to new classes to learn new abilities.

The reason is that all three tiers of Malboro are weak to ice. Many monsters have elemental weaknesses.
Normal Mystics can hit hard, too; Poles have range 2, like spears do, the best pole is WP 16, and Poles damage is MA x WP. As long as you tweak equipment correctly, it's perfectly possible for a Mystic physical attack to hit as hard as any physical class, you just need to max MA.
I mean, theoretically speaking, Ramza is currently carrying five stones, right? Aries, Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius, Pisces. It's not impossible that a group of three enemies could steal three of those at the start of a battle (let's say Taurus, Aquarius and Pisces), turn into Lucavi on the spot, and you have to face three of them at once. That'd be an interesting battle, right?
In WotL, yes. In the original, it doesn't - you have sixteen slots total, which is not enough to cover all the characters you can get. It's one of the few changes WotL made that I approve of.
As others mentioned, certain formulations of how to calculate a prime number stick to that; Final Fantasy Tactics itself does, when it eventually brings Prime Numbers into the game, so obviously the FFXIV references to it would stick to that formulation.

It's not a bug, the effect is entirely intentional. We know this because there is an item that you can equip, the Angel Ring, which lets you reraise once. So, it grants you reraise and the effect ends the first time you resurrect. Anybody can equip the Angel Ring. The Chantage is limited to female characters and, unlike the Angel Ring, cannot be bought, only stolen or poached. So, again: the Chantage working as it does is no bug. The developers wanted it to be like that, and so it is.
Ah, because since it can only be equipped by female characters, Ramza the No Longer a Twink can't actually equip it and make you literally unable to lose the game, so it's technically balanced.
Onion Knights are a WotL addition, they didn't exist in the original game when the Chantage was originally conceived.
I mean there may be another one on one dual sometime in the future which would doom that strategy, and even if Ramza can equip it himself with Onion Knight, like the others said Reraise only triggers if there is someone not knocked out, otherwise game over.
It is, of course, even if it's admittedly a bit harder than usual. See, being invisible doesn't stop area attacks (like summons) from damaging you, so if an area attack is cast that catches the invisible character in, they can get killed, especially if the map is particularly cramped. And, of course, winning a battle with one of your characters unable to do anything (because taking any action immediately breaks invisibility) is a big handicap to play under.
