* [[Anti-Grinding]]: In the original, a popular power-leveling technique was to set all your characters to "Auto", tape the control stick down so your characters ran in circles, and let the game play itself. Try this in the remake, and Barbatos [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|shows up out of nowhere]] to yell at you for [[What the Hell, Player?|taking the cheap way out]], and then [[Hopeless Boss Fight|kick your ass]]. |

* [[Awesome Yet Impractical]]: Attempting to cast any spell with the character you're currently controlling, except for fast-casting ones. Whatever character you're controlling (usually Stahn) makes a great tank for keeping enemies off of your other party members (like Rutee, who is usually the healer). The CPU-controlled party members, not so much. Any hit, no matter how small, interrupts your spellcasting. This leads most of the swordians' spellcasting ability to go to waste, especially a few of Dymlos's spells. You would deal a lot more damage with Stahn's physical special attacks while having Dymlos equipped as his swordian, than you ever would having Stahn equipped with anything else and having someone else using Dymlos to cast spells. Unless, of course, you're in an area with Fire-immune enemies.... |

* [[Art Evolution]]: Compare Inomata's character artwork between the original PSX game and the [[PlayStation 2]] remake. It's almost like they hired an entirely new artist. (Ten years of improvement will do that.) |
