** The Delphinus is not just any sky-pirate ship, it's a superweapon specifically designed to rival the Gigas in power. With the exception of the Hydra, it is far and away the most powerful ship in the setting. The Moonstone Cannon was perfected by study of the red and green Moon Crystals, and was strong enough to punch a hole in the "impenetrable" Grand Fortress. Imagine the damage it could do if it was turned on a normal city! And the Silvites didn't use the Rains of Destruction because they had no other choice, they did it because they ''are'' genocidal dickheads who saw the other civilizations as being unworthy of continuation.

* How is it that these six Gigas (I'm going to assume that "Gigas" is both the singular and plural form) are canonically so powerful that they nearly caused the extinction of the six ancient Arcadian civilizations, yet at the same time so weak that they can be defeated by a single sky-pirate ship? Does this mean that the Little Jack and the Delphinus are actually more powerful and therefore ''even more dangerous to the planet'' than all six Gigas combined?

Does According to the logic of this game ("the Gigas are so powerful they are a threat to all life as we know it!") that would mean that either the Delphinus (and the Little Jack and the Delphinus are to a lesser extent) is actually more powerful and therefore ''even more dangerous to the planet'' than all six Gigas combined?combined, or the other ancient Arcadians were idiots who never thought of something as simple as "shoot the Gigas with cannons until it falls down" and the Silvites were genocidal dickheads who slaughtered billions of innocents ''not'' because they saw no other choice, but purely for the lulz.

**Actually, even if they had reported it, they wouldn't have "proved" that the world is round. They headed west from Valua and eventually wound up in Yafutoma but they didn't prove that if you keep going to can reach Valua again. All they proved is that you can get to Yafutoma by going west so for all anyone knew, Yafutoma was the edge of the world in the far west and Valua was the edge of the world in the far east. Yes, they were operating on the assumption that the world was round, but they didn't prove it was round. The person who actually proved the world was round is Vyse because he completely the world's first circumnavigation and showed that the world was connected.

* So, Cupil is a shapeshifter. While he becomes more powerful the more chams he eats, presumably he can handle at least basic shapes even at the beginning of the game, since he's able to disguise himself as a bracelet. This could be a huge boon for the characters, but they never use him for anything but Fina's weapon. Nobody ever says, hey Cupil, could you turn into a key for this lock so we don't have to go find the real one? Turn into a weight to hold this switch down? Turn into a knife and cut Fina free when she's tied up? Yeah, there's an [[StoryBreakerPower obvious reason]] why they couldn't actually do this, but they could have at least tried to justify it. Cupil's potential MundaneUtility probably surpasses his actual worth as a weapon for the offensively-challenged Fina.

*** Actually, all of the Valuan names have Spanish roots and/or pronunciation. It is still Gahl-see-awn, though. Piastol is most likely Valuan rooted as well, [[spoiler:her father being Mendosa,]] and pronounced Pee-ahs-tohl, so your pronunciation is still right. My point is that knowing the Spanish pronunciation helps though.
