Sarah cannot equipp Angel Gown - bug or intended?

[Tomas]

When Sarah joins my party for the first time in LF3 (right after visiting Metrolian counter with Luciana), I cannot equipp her with Angel Gown from LF1, although it is in my inventory. Is this intended (because Sarah would be too powerful then), or simply a bug?

P.s. The same problem is with Elven Astral Outfit, too.

I think it's not a bug,when she becomes Elven War Angel of The Sun,she "inherhit" the powers of both armors ^^

Possibly, but at the end of LF2, after Sarah became War Angel, I still had the Angel gown equipped, so it was possible in LF2. And Angel Gown gave a huge boost for MN and MP, it was by far the best armor for Sarah, transformation into the War Angel only gave me the angelic spells, not the boost in MN and MP.
It's the same as if I for example suddenly couldn't equipp Random with Gaes Horned Armor, that's why I'm not sure if it is indeed intended.

Hmmn, I noticed this too - looks like poor Sarah is stuck with Elven Mithril Mail or something like that :-).

[Indinera]

i believe she is not supposed to transform back into another form of her (and both those armors mean transformation).

Thanks for the answer, Indi. Makes sense, but still it's a pity that Sarah lost her best armors.
