Soul Nomad & the World Eaters/YMMV


 * Alternate Character Interpretation: While Layna means well and is right about trying to fix the world, one could call her out on pretty much setting Revya up from the start without even asking until AFTER the fusion..
 * Complete Monster:.
 * Counterpart Comparison: Ill Girl Euphoria looks like an older bovine Castille.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: This game is just full of masterpieces to say the least.
 * "Requiem of Gemini".
 * Do Not Do This Cool Thing: Gig is by far the most foul-mouthed, ill-tempered, and just plain sociopathic character to ever come out of a Nippon Ichi game . He's also more badass than any five Disgaea characters put together; he's like what Overlord Zetta would be if he weren't stuck as a book.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Asagi, this being the game that started her trend in NIS's games.
 * Evil Is Cool: Gig. Ask anybody about the game, and they'll definitely say he's the highlight.
 * Fan-Preferred Couple: While the game has no Official Couple, Gig X Revya is the most popular. They are "soulmates", after all.
 * Game Breaker: Gideons.
 * Also, Hades' Despair rooms; their Outer Limit decor not only negates the penalty for having low stamina—one of the game's primary limiting mechanics—but causes you to gain a percentage to your stats equal to the percentage of stamina you've lost. Typical decors give you a 20% stat bonus in exchange for a hefty drawback; Hades' Despair gives you a bonus that can approach 100%, with additional advantages, letting you easily curbstomp otherwise equal groups. Oh, and it makes it so you die if your stamina ever reaches 0, but that's easy to avoid.
 * It Was His Sled: The Demon Path is... infamous.
 * Jerkass Woobie: Though she never reveals her past to anyone but Trish, Shauna's past sucked..
 * Love to Hate: Gig.
 * Magnificent Bastard:.
 * Moral Event Horizon:
 * The best example would be the Demon Path.
 * Kanan.
 * Most Annoying Sound: Pinot's voice in the Demon Path, especially her "Demon Spawn!".
 * Non Sequitur Scene: The first time you run into Heroman (no, not that Heroman), which is guaranteed to elicit a "what the fuck" the first time you see him. Even Gig is caught off guard by how silly he is. See Video Game Cruelty Potential in the main section for more.
 * Laharl berates you.
 * One-Scene Wonder: When prompted, choose the second choice. Enter , and disappears. Gig and Revya think they're hearing things, and no ever speaks of it again.
 * Asagi only has one scene, but the sheer hilarity of it makes her appearance unforgettable.
 * Hawthorne in both paths.
 * Shocking Swerve:
 * The Demon Path, to put it lightly.
 * Superlative Dubbing: The game is often cited as the best dubbed NISA game with Yuri Lowenthal's Gig being especially praised.
 * That One Boss:
 * Shauna can kill Revya without much difficulty due to Revya having a terrible matchup against the Gypsy class.
 * Gestahl is all about smashing your entire party For Massive Damage. And his tactics are all about smashing your entire party and any others on a line behind them For Massive Damage, or turning his Massive Damage Up to Eleven. His decors are all about nerfing your parties so he can hit you For Massive Damage even better. It's easy to see why he's very difficult, even when he's entirely alone.
 * Unpopular Popular Character: Gig is disliked by most of the cast. Among fans, he's the most popular character in the game, many times being amongst the top 10 in Nippon Ichi's polls.
 * Viewer Gender Confusion: . An unusual case, everyone refers to with  pronouns, and  has the same class as all . Basically, it's not just the viewers are confused about this one.
 * : Tricia shows traits of this. Cranked Up to Eleven in.
 * : But if you get her ending in the Normal Path, she comes across as this instead.
 * Woolseyism: It's doubtful that the Take That to John Romero during the Asagi fight was there in the Japanese version...
