Sword of Mana/YMMV

Alas, Poor Villain: All of them (the ones who die, anyway). Even Julius, sort of.
Complete Monster: Goremand.
Epileptic Trees: There are a lot of unanswered questions about Julius, which lends quite well to the making of complicated theories. For instance, Bogard, Cibba, and Selah mention that there was some form of romance between Vandole and Mana in the past, presumably before Mana and Bogard had their daughter. Considering this, it's possible that Julius and the heroine are half-siblings.
Fashion Victim Villain: The color palette on Goremand and Julius? Oh god, my eyes.
Good Bad Bugs: At point-blank range, the bow can hit twice--one for the first frame of the animation of the bow being readied, and another for the actual arrow.
- In addition to that, your character is temporarily invulnerable when the animation for eating healing items is running. Spamming the use of healing candy is a popular strategy for surviving enemy attacks that blanket the screen.
Player Punch: Many, usually involving character deaths.
Tear Jerker: If this game didn't make you cry or at least tear up, we may have to make sure your soul is functioning properly.
The Woobie: ...where the hell do we start?!
- How about we just say "every major character but Goremand"? That probably works.
