Now for a Skies of Arcadia update! Red Moon Crystal get! I'm not a fan of desert locations, but I like fire dungeons/temples. Go figure. By the way, did you know that Bellena's original costume was edited for Western audiences? You can actually still see it if you look at the picture of her in the Journal entry for Maramba. I guess the Western team missed it! Lots of stuff was "censored" in SoA for the Western release, most notably turning alcohol into "loqua." I like Belleza a lot as a character. She's probably the only Admiral besides Gregorio you can really sympathize with who also isn't a terrible human being.

Anyway, like I said, I like the Temple of Pyrynn. The design is really cool, and it has some fun little puzzles. The temple theme is great. The most annoying thing about it is that literally every single treasure chest requires you to fight a battle. Every single one. Not sure who thought that was a good idea. Also, I think I got a little unlucky with the boss fight because he kept spamming his attack that hits everyone in your party for like 500 HP for the first five turns or so. Vyse actually got KO'd at one point, but thankfully, I had a Riselem Crystal.

Perhaps Belleza's greatest trick is how her removing her disguise results in her suddenly wearing more clothes. Also, I was thinking, couldn't Vyse have just removed the Red Moon Crystal from the pedestal before it finished summoning the Gigas? Belleza had run away at that point, so she couldn't have stopped him. I guess it would've been hard with all the energy it was emitting. I really like the first two Gigas fights where you have to fight them with the Little Jack. It really gives off an excellent "against all odds" vibe because you're essentially fighting these monstrous weapons of mass destruction in a fishing boat. Still, there's something to be said about the sense of satisfaction you get from blasting these things out of the sky with the Moonstone Cannon, but you have to struggle in the Little Jack first to fully appreciate it.

The ship battle against Belleza might be the best and perhaps the most difficult one in the game, too, which is weird to say considering it's the first major one. It has a ridiculous amount of strategy involved for your first major ship battle, so you have to learn to get good at ship battles really quickly. Belleza is kind of touted as the most tactical and intelligent of the Admirals, and it shows. The game makes you earn that victory, and it feels great to outmaneuver her and nail her with the Harpoon Cannon.

Now that I have my first Moon Crystal, I guess I'll be switching back to Trails.
