Edge of Madness (Dissidia)

Edge of Madness (混沌の果て Konton no Hate, lit. Edge of Chaos) is an arena in Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy. It is the site of the final battle with the game's final antagonist, Chaos, and in Scenario 000 with Feral Chaos. It is a small, simple arena, a circular platform with Chaos's throne at one end, and the stage reaches very high vertically. In the background surrounding the arena is a long staircase leading to the floor before Chaos's throne, as well as several gigantic swords that Chaos uses for his ultimate attack.

Because the arena is used in Chaos's attack patterns, it is the only arena where players are able to face Chaos during in any gameplay move. In the stage's alternate version, the Bravery pool alternates between increasing and decreasing after a character performs an attack, decreasing at a faster rate than it increases.

In the story, the Edge of Madness and surrounding environment is the realm of Chaos, and is only seen in Shade Impulse, and when Garland and The Emperor visit Chaos in Destiny Odyssey I. Throughout Shade Impulse, the warriors of Cosmos travel through the plains surrounding the throne, at last arriving at it and challenging Chaos himself. In Distant Glory - Villains, this is the area where players face Gabranth and his Manikin forms, the "Warriors of Antiquity". In Inward Chaos, if playing as a villain, the moogle can be found here, appearing on Chaos's throne.
