Line 11:
** Asellus gets a lot of homosexual ''text'' with White Rose and Gina, but she and [[Extreme Doormat|Mesarthim]] rack up a lot of subtext due to the latter's insistence on [[Happiness in Slavery|being her slave]].
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Rastaban. {{spoiler|He plots to have Asellus replace Orlouge as the ruler of Fascinaturu and sends Ildon with her to make sure she is safe. The Bastard part comes in when he kidnaps Gina and puts her inside of a Griffon. This bothers Ildon and angers Asellus. However, if Asellus doesn't save her, then no one would know who's really responsible for her kidnapping}}.
* [[Quicksand Box]]: Both present and averted. Some of the stories (like Riki) are very straightforward, and you can learn your way around the sidequests by playing some characters' main quests, but starting with Asellus or Lute is a quick way to get completely lost.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Slime, who comes from nowhere and goes nowhere. Except in ''[[All There in the Manual|Essence]]'', where he does quite a bit.
* [[That One Boss]]:
** Virgil in Riki's scenario. He differs from most bosses in that to defeat him, you have to score points by throwing combos at him. Two-point combos are a no-go, and you can't repeat the same combo twice. If you don't know how the combo mechanics work, or haven't been writing down any of the combos you've chanced upon up to this point, then you're pretty much stuck. Worse, you have to take him on with Riki in your party, and monsters have a hard time racking up combos.
** Tanzer's heart, ''also'' from Riki's scenario. It's the second boss in his story, but it honestly feels like it should be a mid-game encounter. The organ can one-shot your characters with its Acid Breath, it effectively gets extra moves thanks to all the surrounding tendrils that you can't target, and it has a staggering amount of HP at its disposal. Worse, Tanzer's body is a terrible location to [[Level Grind]] in because there are no shops or inns to replenish your stats. So if you didn't prepare for it before getting swallowed by the beast (and without a guide, you won't know it happens), and/or blew all your JP and WP on the minor encounters littering the place, then you're going to be stuck in an [[Unwinnable byBy Mistake]] situation.
* [[ScrappyThat One Level]]: Riki's Mosperiburg dungeon. From the Magma Slimes to the Mystic Spikes, to the [[Puzzle Boss]] fight, it's... unpleasant to say the least.
* [[The Woobie]]: ''Asellus''. Used to be a normal, happy girl, but then she got ran over by a carriage, turned into a Half-Mystic where Mystics scorn her, humans are scared of her, and she was rejected by almost everyone that knew her. She kept getting hunted by the Mystics because one of Orlouge's Mistresses, her best friend White Rose, stays with her and eventually lost her in Orlouge's labyrinth, breaking her heart. And in the end, she either dies liberating herself from her Mystic blood, or went mad with power because of it, or accepts that she'll never be human again or be accepted as a Mystic and wanders the Earth for eternity, seeing her human friends age and die while she stays forever young.
* [[Tethercat Principle]]- It is implied that Blue never actually ''kills'' {{spoiler|Hell's Lord,}} but fights him eternally.
* [[Woolseyism]]-: A minor one-: Alkaiser's Shin<ref>True.</ref>-Al-Phoenix becomes Re-Al<ref>[[A Worldwide Punomenon|Real]].</ref>-Phoenix.
