Oh, so these villains are as cliché as Shin (or as any other bad guys in the whole game). I should make a Demotivational Poster with a patchwork of quotes like this, and add 'REGRET' as the caption....well, our heroes didn't really put up a show there, if you know what I mean. But you can't help it if there are so many invincible bosses in the game, Berle being the latest; he's so noble and kind though, running around the battlefield and trying to slash the party to death (if you're confused about this, I meant that he only uses easy-to-avoid melee attacks, so you can lure him with Claude and keep the others safe).
In case you were wondering, this is indeed a survival fight: after a couple of minutes the timer stops because we're close enough to Nede and impact is imminent. One of the ten men says they can now use their power to teleport themselves to the other planet, leaving Claude, Rena and their friends to die on an exploding Expel. The good news is that our heroes get mistakenly teleported along with them (figures...), only too far away for the evil guys to do anything about it; the bad news is... none, really, but if the player doesn't realize that the battle with Berle was a timed one, s/he'd get a Game Over, and would have to sit through all the dialogue before the battle. It's not as bad as the norm was back then regarding JRPGs and unskippable cutscenes, but it can get on your nerves because of the particular plot point you've reached.
