• Crowning Music of Awesome: The entire soundtrack was performed and recorded live, composed by four well-known composers (including Kenji Kawai and Shinji Hosoe), from the mysterious intro to the absolutely epic orchestral ending. This game would not have its atmosphere and drama without tracks like these.
• Goddamned Bats: Hawks in Warcadia are the first example of this, with their tendency to start a charge attack offscreen and plowing into you before you know one's in motion, knocking you down. Nearly everything in Hell is this or a Demonic Spider, appropriately enough, but the batlike folks that dwell there are by far the most annoying thing in the game to fight. It doesn't help that two particularly hard bosses summon them two at a time to help fight you.
• Goddamned Boss: Brigantia is not a powerful boss; in fact, compared to most of the unforgiving boss fights the game throws at you, it's remarkably weak. What Brigantia's battle is, however, is incredibly time-consuming. The boss will only stand and fight for a little while as you slice off one segment of its body after another; most of the fight will be spent waiting for the damn thing to pop out of a hole and hang around long enough to get a few hits in instead of hiding out of reach and throwing one wave of bombs after another at you or simply swimming right from one hole to the next. To make matters worse, you can only target his head, making it that much more difficult to hit the vulnerable parts at the end of his body.
