Suikoden Tierkreis/YMMV

Complete Monster - Valfred who RetGones an entire country and doesn't understand why anyone would be appalled by his doing so.
Crowning Moment of Awesome - There are a few, but when the Chronicles were stolen, Manaril, of all people, managed to defeat Sophia by using her Reader powers and overloading Sophia's brain with the information from the Chronicle that she was holding.
Crowning Moment of Funny - "Have you perhaps come to profess your undying love for me?"
Crowning Moment of Heartwarming - A few, one of them is when Nova was reunited with Sophia after the battle in Fort Arc.
Demonic Spider: Fanged Silkmoth, full stop. Being a Boss in Mook Clothing in an early-game dungeon is one thing. Spamming mass-sleep-inducing attack every turn is another. Sure, there is Darkness Knight late game that can cause mass status effect (including confusion, which is worse than sleep), but the knight is in the Very Definitely Final Dungeon, so at least you're prepared.
Ensemble Darkhorse - Arguably, Tsaubern and Buchse. They are pretty popular on Japanese fanbase. Also, Luo-Tao.
Fridge Logic: Okay, if the followers of the Order of the One True Way are supposed to accept every single thing as is, why force their ways on others? Why not accept that it was 'predetermined' for others to have their own ways? Lampshaded by Chrodechild after her fight with her sister.
Ho Yay: There's a lot for every subculture!
- To elaborate, there's Roberto's Tsundere tendencies, usually reserved for the main character, Jale's unquestioning loyalty and affection, also towards the main character, and Chrodechild and Fredegund's really, really close sisterly relationship.
- No mention of Sieg and Atrie? I'm surprised.
- No mention of Shams and Taj? Both are friendly loyal to each other, risking life and limb. Shams does his best to keep Taj happy He goes so far as to order Taj not to touch a chronicle in case he becomes a starbearer because he wants to spare Taj the pain of knowing what happened to the Magedom. Taj, of course, isn't having of it, and manages to convince his prince to let him. They have several moments where you can tell that it was fully animated instead of sprites there would be hugging.
Narm - Unfortunately, the voice acting can cause some parts of the game to fall into Narm territory.
Nightmare Fuel - Quite a number of elements of this game can qualify.
- How the followers of the Order of the One True Way, especially Cynas townspeople, live their life. Are those guys even human at all?
- What happened to people when they were in a place where the world fusion occurred. Also overlaps with Fate Worse Than Death.
- And then there's Rarohenga, especially when you learn why the place is so twisted. Music doesn't help.
- Macoute's transformation definitely counts. A pale bloated angel-blob crying tears of blood?! *shiver*
Player Punch - It's Suikoden; there's always Player Punches in Suikoden.
- One hits especially hard at Ladzaa Fortress, almost sending Sieg into a Heroic BSOD.
- Cougar, made worse by his people not remembering him when returns to them.
- The destruction of the Magedom, along with its million inhabitants. Made even worse when you see Manaril´s reaction.
That One Sidequest - recruiting Namna, who will only join you in a particular month, except that most of the time he won't.
They Changed It, Now It Sucks - the most common complaint heard when Suikoden (specifically, Suikoden II) nuts unaware of the game hear of what this installment lacks or has changed. The removal of the different combat system for Duel Bosses and war battles and the fact that it takes place in an Alternate Continuity adds fuel to the fire.
- This is nothing new as the Fan Dumb have been lambasting every Suikoden for this since Suikoden III for every part of the game that is not a replica of Suikoden II.
The Woobie - Poor, poor Blessed with Suck Manaril.
- Once their backstory is revealed, Sophia and Nova can qualify as well.
- The Scribes is an entire race of woobies.
