Got a camera?

After the scrapyard and the metal forest, this next area was a welcome change of pace.

Sazh and Vanille make it to forest area in the mountains filled with waterfalls and lakes, along the way Sazh explains a bit about his past. It turns out hat he has a son, and on the son's birthday he got branded by one of the being that run the planet. The government then took the son away for testing to see what his mission was, but all the was explained was that he had the ability to track other beings, which lead to the mess that started the game. Also, unknown to Sazh, Vanille had something to do with what happened to his son.

Eventually the two of them run into a boss battle against 2 beasts, one being electric based and the other water. The fight was not as tedious as the last one, but Sazh kept on getting killed and used up the last of the phoenix down.

The parties seem to be split along D&D lines, with Lightning and Hope being chaotic good (taking down the government), Snow and that woman who found him being lawful good (workign for the government), and Sazh and Vanill being neutral good (running from both sides).
