Illusion of Gaia/YMMV
- Awesome Music: The game has one of the best (and most overlooked) soundtracks on the SNES, especially the final boss theme, 'Clash of Light and Shadow'
- Narm: Hamlet's Heroic Sacrifice would probably have had more pathos if the air wasn't filling "with the smell of roast Hamlet"...
- Or if Erik hadn't made an Incredibly Lame Pun about it.
- Romantic Plot Tumor: Arguably, Will and Kara.
- Also Lance and Lily, which actually diverts you from the plot a lot more (you wouldn't even GO to the Great Wall, one of the game's main levels, otherwise).
- That One Boss: It could be the game's first boss, third boss, or Bonus Boss, depending on who you ask.
- Castoth, the first boss: The first major combat challenge you face, with multiple parts to worry about.
- Jack and Silvana, the third boss: Married vampires, who have very good coordination and require you to pay close attention to their movements to avoid their attacks. And have a combination attack that is hard to dodge if you're not prepared for it at can knock of roughly 1/3 of your life in one shot.
- Solid Arm, the Bonus Boss: Actually easier than its appearance in Soul Blazer, but not by much.
