I liked the scene with the metamorphosis of the false "Emperor" into Jagar Tharn. Shows how stupid he is - he didn't confront me there and then, in the throne room, but had to lure me all the way down to his shiny red thing that causes him to melt when touched. Villains are so weird :P

Some RPG's have some continued play value beyond the final boss, but I kind of doubt Arena could pull this off - its main appeal was the main story dungeons and it seems pointless to visit them again. And random dungeons become repetitive pretty fast. Good thing they did not add an unlockable higher difficulty - "now monsters kill you with just one hit instead of two!"

By the way, my digging has revealed that there is supposed to be a final Ria Silmane speech after acquiring the last piece of the Staff, telling you about the Imperial Palace and the red jewel... but it fails to play due to a bug (oh, what a surprise!). Still, Tharn's taunt plays just fine and it is enough to set you on course for the final battle.
