Part 54: Cor Hydrae Castle (Part 2)
The second half of Cor Hydrae is about as exciting as the first half, thankfully with 100% less teleporter mazes. And our reward for this is...another rehashed God fight. Thanks game, you're the best.

Part 55: The Final Battle
It's Malpercio! In his Final Form™ no less. It's a hard fight that will stomp you if you're not ready for it, and it's a lot of fun to build the kind of decks that can run the damage race with him. It turns out that Big Numbers™ can in fact be a gimmick once the numbers are big and frequent enough.

Part 56: O Mighty Ocean...
And with that, we're done. The ending goes on for way, way too long, the big sendoff scene is completely superfluous, but they nailed the Xelha bit...right up until they didn't, but whatever, it's a JRPG and we all saw that coming from a mile away.
But yeah, that's Baten Kaitos. It's rough in a lot of places, and I kinda wish someone would take another crack at a full-fat RPG like this because most of the egregious design kinks are stuff that we've...solved, for lack of a better word here in 2021. But until then, this is what we have to work with, and I love it all the same. Thanks for watching folks.

It could not be more appropriate to start that fight with Confuse, regardless of how it happened.
Some RPG's just can't leave well enough alone though can they. As goofy as a lot of that stuff was they had the ending right there but they just either wanted one more fight or a really poor excuse for not having Kalas be the one to kill Xehla. Oh well.
Also that kid mentioning that it was salt water that was raining has some extremely dark implications for the life that is living on the islands already and the rest of the ground.
