Line 8:
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] - {{spoiler|In the ending, [[The Messiah|Polka throws herself off a cliff and into the ocean to spread the light of her Astra]] and is sent back to her mother [[Stable Time Loop|to repeat the process over again.]] Chopin, essentially being the master of the dream world, decides that it isn't right that a fourteen year-old girl should have to die, ends the cycle, and gives Polka the chance to live her life; all this resulting in a potential [[Tear Jerker]].}}
* [[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 [[
* [[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 [[
* [[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.
Line 34:
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]] - One of the most original concepts for a game--the dying dream of Fredrick Francois Chopin--given one of the most [[Cliché Storm|unoriginal executions]] ever. That Chopin is mostly [[Out of Focus]] for the majority of the game (except for his not-so-subtle monologues that come out of nowhere) does not help either.
* [[Toy Ship]] - Beat and Salsa.
* [[What an Idiot!]] - Prince Crescendo's plan to {{spoiler|surrender himself to [[Card-Carrying Villain]] Count Waltz}} would, rather than ending the war peacefully, {{spoiler|have allowed Forte to invade a weakened and confused Baroque}}. Everyone else seems to understand this, and tells him so. Although that's nothing compared to what happens next: Count Waltz, {{spoiler|rather than ordering his men to fire and kill the heroes, instead decides to take them all on himself for 'fun', accompanied only by a dragon that's extremely easy to defeat. He is then brutally killed. Unless you're playing the [~[[
** {{spoiler|And for some reason the entire dragon ARMY that accompanied him is gone afterwards, without any explanation!}}
** And then {{spoiler|Waltz's advisor}} decides to drink the {{spoiler|super mineral powder}} and turn himself into a giant monster for no apparent reason, even though he knows ''it will eventually kill him'' even if the heroes didn't. {{spoiler|Unless you're playing the [~[[
** {{spoiler|In fact, this whole fiasco is averted in the [[
* [[The Woobie]] - Polka. If you end up liking Polka, then, by the end of the game, you'll likely wish that you could give her a hug.
** Beat also counts considering he gets occasionally insulted by Allegretto, knocked around by Tuba, and constantly pestered by Salsa. At least Allegretto and Salsa still care about Beat though.
