• High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The Executioner's true form, the Qualia, the whole plot of the GAME...the REAL plot, not the whole "5 couples summoned to fight for Immortality" thing.
  • The Genomoth named Sephiroth
  • Those Wagner dinosaurs are pretty effin' scary as well...
  • So are all the Dolphin-type monsters in the sequel
  • And everything about that monster named Dante and Rachel
• Nightmare Retardant: Just think of The Agent's resemblance to Emperor Zurg. You're welcome.
• Unfortunate Implications: All five of the greatest warriors in the world are male - the girls are just there because they are the person most important to them. You'd think it wasn't the case with Eluca, since she's a great warrior, but it's Zhamo who was summoned, not her.
• The Woobie: Alto. You have to feel for the girl: first, her beloved gets effortlessly cut down in front of her. The trauma from that causes her to go Ax Crazy. Then her revenge fails miserably- no matter the scenario- because she doesn't have a partner to fight alongside.
• Fridge Logic: If the Ark Arena really is designed to be played as a tournament, why would there initially be five couples?
  • Did you feel sorry for killing all of those people? Fear not! At the true end of the game, the Almighty gives everyone the option of returning home at the time they choose. Everyone chooses the point before they were summoned. This means that everyone who they ever killed in the tournament is now back to life. Except for the Qualia, because it was killed permanently at a point where all time converged.
  • Everybody chooses to return at the exact same time they left, including Zhamo. Eluca is surprised at this seeing as she was about to execute him at that point but he brushes it off saying that now they can work together to bring down the Divine King. Pretty noble except for one small detail: earlier in the game they explicitly said Eluca was about to execute Zhamo...after she had already killed his parents. And he wants to go back to a point literally moments after they were killed? WHAT THE HELL?
  • Also, Ayuta is frozen after every Ark Arena and revived a few years before each tournament every 10,000 years with only the vague, subconscious instruction to fall in love. It is mentioned that the tournament in Chaos Rings is the 2003rd tournament, which means that including his original love, Theia, Ayuta has had two thousand and four lovers!!
