Line 9:
* [[Designated Hero]] - Allegretto is the onscreen avatar, despite Frederic ostensibly being the main character.
* [[Designated Villain]] - Legato, who seems to be [[Only Sane Man|an actually reasonable person]] whose only real crime was [[Punch Clock Villain|serving Count Waltz]]. {{spoiler|Even after going [[One-Winged Angel]] he still remains a [[Designated Villain]], as all he does is run away to a distant tower in a desert on the moon where he can't really harm anyone.}} The [[PS 3]] version makes it even clearer that Legato is just serving Waltz, who is the real villain.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] - Captain Dolce, leader of the [[Terrible Trio]] [[Goldfish Poop Gang]], has gained some popularity over on the [[Game FAQs]] forums. [[Hello, Nurse!|Guess why...]] Well, for that reason, and also her sexy, seductive voice. ("Oh, you've been naughty, haven't you?")
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Captain Dolce and Rondo, all the way.
* [[Fan -Preferred Couple]] - Chopin and Polka have better chemistry than the [[Official Couple]]...despite the fact A) she's analogous to his real-life [[Dead Little Sister]], and B) he's twenty-five years older. A lot of this depends on what version you're playing, though. The [[Play Station 3]] [[Updated Rerelease]] goes a long way to improve the chemistry between Allegretto and Polka by adding a number of new interactions between them and compleltely altering others. One of the most notable is that in the [[Xbox 360]] release, Allegretto does not so much as mention Polka when Beat and Frederic first return to Ritardando. In the PS3 version, however, he most certainly does ask after her and then starts to head off to Tenuto to go after her before grudgingly agreeing to stay and give Frederic a tour of the town. Later, when he actually does slip away on his own, in the PS3 version he shows great concern for Polka's health, as well as frustration at the idea that she doesn't want to do things for herself. In the [[X Box]] scene, he doesn't express any concern about her illness and instead of the sequence being about his feelings for Polka, it's just a lot of moralizing about the suspicious nature of human beings.
* [[Game Breaker]] - Harmony Chains at Party Level 6 can be exploited to greatly reduce almost all difficulty you may encounter after that point. Level up Polka to 48 (40 in the [[Play Station]] 3 version) so that she learns Blossom Shower and, for her sake, since she is admittedly squishy, keep her as far away from the action as possible and in sunlight. Once you're able to consistently pull off a 5 or 6 Harmony Chain, Polka can use Blossom Shower to heal everyone for a sizable amount at infinite range every turn. It also works with Viola and her Heal Arrow, but the trade off is that while Viola can deal absolutely absurd damage from long-range, Heal Arrow isn't as powerful as Blossom Shower.
** Before that, selling photographs can net you ungodly sums of money early on, making a mockery of the cost of curatives and equipment for 99% of the game.
