		Just noticed that Valia Pira is probably a mistranlation of "Barrier Pillar" lol

		No it's not. Barrier Pillar's romanji is obviously "Baria . Pira" not "Varia . Pira".

		Then what does the name mean?

		Well, after numerous attempts on various translators, I have come to the conclusion that it roughly means "Varied Pillar" or "Varied Pyre", with Pyre showing up more, oddly. Could also be Varying, I suppose.

		I didn't think about the "varied" possibility. That could be!

Barrier Pillar is still a possibility. Since there's no "v" in Japanese you can transliterate the same word as "Baria", "Balia", "Varia" and "Valia". 82.83.79.93 16:25, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, there is a "v" sound in Japanese, which is exactly the Katakana used on Varia Pira's name ("ヴァ" is "va", "バ" is "ba"). It's not a native japanese sound, but it exists so they can transliterate foreign words that contain it. So yes, the romanji is Varia Pira, whatever that should mean. 91.117.99.231 11:04, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Thus, it's absurd to translate any japanese "V" sound to "B" because, unlike the ambiguous case of "R" and "L", "B" is a native japanese sound and "V" is not. "Varia" will never mean "Barrier". - 17:22, July 8, 2011 (UTC)~

Elemental Vulnerability[]

I thought it was vulnerable to Water. It's been Wind all this time?! --LuvLuvG (talk) 05:07, December 13, 2018 (UTC)

Hmm other sites also say Wind, but GameFAQs walkthroughs all say to use Water magic. The monster FAQ only says it is weak to Wind, though.Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 11:23, December 13, 2018 (UTC)

Are Water spell, Leviathan and Aqua Breath just coincidentally the strongest attacks you can use at this point? I think it being weak to Wind and immune to Earth is just because it flies.Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 11:27, December 13, 2018 (UTC)
