Azure City of Althena

We're at the start of the final dungeon, so let's get to the top!

There are only about four or five different mobs in this entire location, most of which are more palette swaps. The only thing new is the giant Rooks from Chess. As you'd expect, they're quite tanky and hit pretty hard. There are also some bull demons fellas who can net you over 10000 EXP.
 
The city is split into three different sections.
Section one will force us into battles. As we enter open areas, red gates will block our path out. To advance, defeat the mages in the room. The bull demons are an optional challenge, but you might as well kill them. The majority of the team's final equipment is found down here at the various dead ends. About halfway through, we'll see Luna running towards us. She tells us that Ghaleon diverted his attention to something else, letting her getaway. Luna suggests we just leave this place and let Ghaleon lead us because humans need to be ruled. Our team has our doubts that this is the real Luna, and that's confirmed when she transforms into Royce. We prepare to fight our longtime rival, but she places a curse on us before running away. We know she did something, but we're not sure what. The effects of her hex are that our party members will randomly fall asleep at the start of a battle. It was never Alex, and I had Jessica with Lunar's version of the Ribbon, so I never felt defenseless. If you didn't climb upwards, you're probably going to find a dead end and treasure.

At the end of the first section is Royce. I don't remember exactly what was said before the battle, but it isn't hard. There is only one strategy for Lunar bosses, and I'm sure you know it by now.

Section two is a confusing mess. A voice will tell us that we need to remember meeting the Dragons, and those memories should guide us through this place. I have no clue what that means, but we need to find the correct paths through various teleporters. This, too, is split into three sections. Section One's only exit is the south telepod in the first room. Section Two is a nonsense of warps, so good luck. There's a lot of treasure hidden about, so I'll let ya know you're on the right track if you find the Goddess Statue. Section Three is more straightforward. Go upwards. There are a few things to loot on staircases down, but we're climbing to the top. At the end are four warps gates, and the top one takes us to meet Xenobia.

Xenobia gives us a heartfelt speech about how cool Ghaleon is before doing some psychological assault on us. She'll send us to another dimension where we all have a chat with our inner demons. They speak of our fears and insecurities.
Jessica is torn between her want to explore and her father's expectations.
Kyle wants to give in to hedonism before the end of the world, but he's here instead.
Mia's confidence has always been questioned by herself. She's always been projected to be the next leader of the Mage's Guild, but is that what she wants?
Nash still thinks Ghaleon is right, and he'd rather be a slave than dead.
Alex is confused as to if this really is the real Luna.
Nall ruins everything by making everyone realize this is a trap. They all still need to break out of their chains, but I think it'd be more poignant if they came to that conclusion themselves, rather than the annoying rat.
Jessica realizes she's the daughter of a noble and a pirate, and she's inherited the spirit of both.
Kyle finally comes to see what it's time to get serious, which is now. He still jokes about sacrificing himself for all future slackers, which I found funny.
Mia comes to terms that she does want to follow Lemia.
Nash decides that slavery is bad, and he should stop judging people by s single, worthless trait.
And Alex just loves his sister so much!
We all return before Xenobia to defeat her and free Mel. But we'll make sure he's fine later...

After a quick set of staircases, we reach Ghaleon. He commands Luna to do her duty, and Luna begins to do whatever it is she does. Ghaleon reiterates his plan to become the new god of Lunar and keep the peace through force. He intends to use Luna/Althena's power to make himself the supreme being. We even see Luna grant him some of her energy before we fight. Speaking of which...

I almost died! His tactics and spells are the same as before, but he's got a few new tricks when he gets low on HP. His first is to shield himself from all damage. I don't know long it lasts, but it tipped the tides in his favor. His deadliest move is a physical attack that killed everyone but Kyle, who it missed. We were at max health, and this wiped us out. For some reason, though, I opted to see if Kyle could do it. Mostly, I was curious if I could even do damage at that point. And wouldn't you know it, Kule did the last 1500 HP I needed to win. Maybe he is the hero he always thought himself to be?

Ghaleon collapses. His last words are that of confusion. But we still can't celebrate. Alex goes to talk to Luna, but she's still evil. She tries to stop him by casting lightning on him, which I instinctively blamed Nash for. Sorry... Ghaleon gets up and regrets that he was never needed to be god. I don't know what that meant, but he dies anyway for reasons I've forgotten. But Alex loves Luna, so he keeps pressing towards her. She continues to summon lightning, but he eats it. As we get close to her, Luna drops the charade. She reveals that she's been in control the whole time, I think, but she can't stop. She believes that only she can bring peace to this land, and if she stops now, everything will wither and die. The city is still absorbing magic from all across the globe, and only she can stop it. But this means she, and her human body, will die. But Alex doesn't believe that. Despite warnings from his sister, he steps into the magic field around Luna. His armor is taken from him, but his body is still intact. He keeps calling out to Luna, and she takes his hand and stops blinking. The Azure City begins to shake, and the rest of our party members know they need to leave. There's some trepidation, but they trust Alex and Luna. Nall transforms, and we cut to a cliffside near the bay.

We all see the city fall into the bay, the massive tidal wave it makes, and the explosion that follows. There's plenty of magical mumbo-jumbo around, but no Alex and Luna. Jessica, Mia, and Nall begin to cry. Suddenly, a light appears, rising from the ruins of the city. The dead ground everyone is standing on turns green again, and water returns to the dried lakes. The sky opens up, and the Blue Star illuminates Lunar once again. And then the universe blinks, and Alex and Luna are floating there. Luna is no longer running for mayor of sluttown, and our party is ready to get back to enjoying life.

We're all in Mariba for a final farewell. Jessica and Kyle head off to see if Mel is okay. One is less excited about it. Mia and Nash go to inform Lemia about what happened. Luna suggests we see Ramus one more time.
Ramus is glad we're okay, and his store is doing better than ever. It turns out sponsoring the guy who saved the world is great advertising. But he's too busy to go home, he asks us to tell his family the good news. He hopes he can have a relationship as good as Alex and Luna's one day, and we can buy the last two bromides from him. It turns out the bromides are our female party members in various forms of undress. Like, how do these exist? Why do they exist? Did Jessica and Mia let an artist draw them when they're naked? Why? They're kids, game. Stop being creepy.
Mia and Nash are taking to Lemia. She doesn't trust Nash but offers to trust the new Guild Leader. Lemia can no longer be the head of the Guild, so she steps aside, and Mia will now handle everything. Mia says she loves Nash, but in a way that indicates it's only as a friend. So this means a student is running the school? Too much power!
As we return to the Goddess Statue, the last member of the Vile Tribe teleports in. Phacia is alive and well and is preparing for her role as their new leader. She lets us know they're going to find an uninhabited part of the Green World to live and do so peacefully.
Jessica and Kyle and meeting Mel. The family has a wondrous hug until Kyle, hiding behind Alex and Luna, opens his mouth. He runs out, but Mel asks him to come back. Mel gives his okay for the two to date, seeing as Kyle's changed his life around. Apparently, Jessica and Kyle have known each other for a very long time.
Alex and Luna need to take the boat back to Burg, so they stop by the bar for some reason. We can say farewell to Tempest and Fresca there, and things get awkward. Fresca is ready to have a large family with her husband, so she asks when Luna "plans to bear Alex's children." Fresca is excited that their kids will get to play together when they meet, but both of our teenaged protags are too embarrassed to say anything.
Just outside is Laika. Alex tries to talk to him as he's still Dyne, but he reiterates that he's Laika now. He congratulates them on saving the world and says he's got more adventures to do now. He knows he can't see and collect it all, but he's just happy to have a part in it. He wanes poetically about being a being in time or something... sure.

The credits roll over the Blue Star, and the camera casts down to Alex and Luna (and Nall). The two hold hands as they reach...

The End.
