The Battle Arena (sometimes called the Battle Square) is a minigame within the Golden Saucer, which is accessible via the ropeway in North Corel. The Battle Arena pits the player against a series of eight battles in a row against progressively harder monsters. In each of the eight battles the player is also given a penalty, which can be a stat reduction, broken equipment, or a status effect. Some of these penalties can be negated by going in with the right preparation. For example, the Maintenance inherent ability in the Chemist job prevents equipment from being broken. Status effects can be prevented by wearing equipment that grants immunity, or healed by using curative abilities.
Winning the battles grants BP (battle points) which can be exchanged for equipment in the Battle Arena's shop. Losing a battle costs the player a substantial amount of BP; in order to gain enough BP to buy anything, it's necessary to be able to consistently win rounds most or all of the time, and exit early if the challenge becomes too great.
