Monster Arena

The Monster Arena is a location in the game Final Fantasy X, situated in the Calm Lands. The Monster Arena is used to store fiends caught during the game. This is done by defeating the monster while using weapons with the Capture special ability.

Once the monsters are caught they can be battled at any time within the Arena for a fee. If certain conditions are met then new creations are bred and also fought. As new monsters are bred, the owner rewards the party with a bunch of special, and often rare, items. For new creations the first battle is free, afterwards the price gets steadily steeper for each fight, with a battle against Nemesis costing 25,000 gil each time. Within the Arena, the player is not in danger of receiving a Game Over after defeat, they simply return to the entrance and can heal, then try again.
