How do you even mistake Llyud for a female? Especially at 70% completion. I can understand people mistaking anime males for females, but not Llyud. I mean, he doesn't even have a shirt on. You must not have read any dialogue either when they kept mentioning *him*, and the fact that Filo has a crush on him.

Also, you can always level. Even if they don't let you exit at the beginning of battle, you can just press start during the actual battle and exit.
