| abstract | - The Battle Arena is found in the games circuit in Gemity, by entering the teleporter at the Northern-most point. Here, players can participate in various types of battles, earning several rewards along the way. Along with these rewards, each battle offers experience and Fol the player can keep. After entering the teleporter, players are given a computer terminal where they can set up the match, before being teleported into an arena identical to the top of the Kirlsa Training Facility, where Biwig is fought during the main story. The hosts are Solon Solute and Dirna Hamilton, and they provide amusing, yet sometimes lengthy commentary, and before each ranked match, the opposing team adds some words as well. None of the teams, nor Solon and Dirna themselves, are voiced. After examining the terminal, the game prompts the player to choose a mode, select a rank, and pay the entrance fee before the battle. The mode chosen determines the number of battles and the number of monsters per battle; Single and Team Battles have a series of five matches each, and Ranked Matches are completed one at a time. If the player loses or chooses to escape the battle, the battle and the entry fee are forfeited, and the player is returned to the terminal. If this is due to a loss, the the participants will have 1 HP/MP, depending on which stat they were incapacitated by. For each victory, the player is awarded a prize, experience, and Fol (for Single and Team Battles), or just experience and Fol (for Ranked Battles). Generally, the rewards are better as the ranks get higher.
