Line 12:
* [[Ending Fatigue]]: Actually more like Game Fatigue. How many times are you willing to go through the same exact zones? How many times can you stomach fighting the same exact boss who has the same exact tactics? How many times are you willing to have the same story retold to you but through a different perspective? How many times can you put up with building a character up to a complete god but are reduced to less than a peon and have to start over because you're on the next chapter?
** The answer, my friend, if you play the whole game through, is ''five times each''. Enjoy.
* [[Freud Was Right]]: Without his huge flail Odin's powerless... wait a minute...
* [[Game Breaker]]: The Adversity Ring is far and away the most powerful accessory in the game, capable of giving your characters a MASSIVE damage boost when their HP is low. Especialy considering it STACKS with the Overload spell.
* [[Goddamned Bats]]: The fireball and ice crystal enemies tend to pop up at the worst possible times during certain boss battles. And let's not get started on the animal ghosts in the underworld. Be sure to use Blizzard Potions!
Line 23:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: {{spoiler|King Gallon}}. And [[Nintendo Hard|fighting the guy for five hours]] ''does not make it easier''. The Netherworld also plays on lingering childhood fears of the dark, and is a generally creepy and depressing place.
** It doesn't help that during the fight with Gallon, you can see Titania {{spoiler|literally crumble and ''sink into the ocean'' piece by piece in the background.}}
* [[Player Punch]]: To get [[Hundred-Percent100% Completion]], the player needs to unlock every cutscene. This means ''intentionally'' choosing the wrong order in the Final Book and watching the Bad Ending at least ''three times''. If [[The Woobie|Myris's]] sobbing {{spoiler|while the world collapses and the oceans are rising to kill her}} while asking why someone would choose this horrible fate doesn't hit you hard, then you must have dropped your soul somewhere.
** {{spoiler|And then you realize that the same thing happened to Myris in the good ending, too. Hopefully, she learns that the four survived when she gets to heaven... that is, after Cornelius and Velvet finally break the Pooka curse, thus allowing dead Pooka to finally move on after spending a really long time in undead hell.}}
** Sending Mercedes to fight the beast of Darkova in the Armageddon book is guaranteed to make you feel like an asshole. Her fate in the good ending isn't much better, either.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: The good endings are painfully bittersweet. The bad ones are ''even worse'' and usually without the sweet.
* [[That One Attack]]: Onyx's inferno charge can cross the entire arena (''twice'') and leaves a field of damaging flames in its wake; in addition, Oswald can't jump high enough to clear it. Heaven help you if Onyx decides to spam it.
