• Crowning Music of Awesome: "La Mer", the opening theme.
• Designated Villain: Troy.
• Game Breaker: Kika and her triple-damage, non-missing, infinite-use Falcon Rune. Throw in Ted (most powerful spellcaster, bar none) and Snowe (gets an ABSURDLY powerful Combination Attack with Lazlo), and you've got a team that simply can't be stopped.
  • Oh, it gets worse: Grab the duo of Lazlo and Ted, slap a couple high-level magic runes on them (in addition to their default runes), and let them go to town on the Training Hall. Then, take advantage of how the Training Hall works (the enemy levels are based on the highest-level member of your group) to grind the entire combat cast to level 100 in a couple hours (except the guy who runs the Training Hall, of course).
• Goddamned Bats:
  • This game has an absurdly high encounter rate, especially while navigating through the sea with a slowpoke for a ship.
  • Although it's not an encounter, playing Ritapon can become annoying very quickly, as the game's random factors, like deciding what tiles are worth more points, always seems to favor Rita's hand. It's not uncommon to see Rita win a hand and get two, if not three, times more points than if Lazlo had won.
• Good Bad Bugs: The duel with Lino en Kuldes can be skipped by initially refusing to fight him (choose the option "W-wait a minute!") then accepting him offer the second time (choose "I accept your challenge"). This will automatically lead to the victory cutscene, where Lino acknowledges his defeat.
• Magnificent Bastard: Graham Cray.
• Never Live It Down: Snowe's poor leadership during his first real crisis continues to haunt him, both in- and out-of universe.
• Viewer Gender Confusion - In-world example: Wendel, a Tomboyish Action Girl who declares herself the apprentice of Nico, your ship's lookout. Who, despite his frequently-praised vision and having her constantly hanging around him, thinks she's a guy.
• The Woobie - In a sense, Snowe is this Gone Horribly Wrong; he'd be more sympathetic if he weren't so damn dense.
