2 — Passion Land

A Spain-themed cruise that stays extremely easy until Tapas Desert, where Master A. debuts — the first enemy that out-ranges Bahamut.

Almost as easy as The Legend Begins; the stages are named after Spanish food, drink, and tradition (Paella Field, Sangria River, Churros Night), and most fold to anything resembling a lineup.

The sub-chapter exists to introduce one enemy: Master A., a long-range artillery piece who chips your units down and knocks your ranged attackers back before they reach him. He out-ranges Bahamut Cat and most other heavy hitters, which makes him the first enemy in the game you have to out-plan rather than out-stat. He waits in the final stage, Tapas Desert.
