Line 6:
* [[Better Than It Sounds Video Games]]
* [[Boring but Practical]]: In order to play to elemental weaknesses later in the game, basically having Grune spam Curse and sea spells. Although mostly in the main quest, you'll have Grune spam "Bloody howling" as it's literally her ''only'' spell for a lot of the time before the character quests. Basically...if oyu wanna use Grune for magic damage, expect to see and hear a lot of "Bloody howling".
** Healing in this game is basically "Revive" or "First aid", later on "Cure". There's no real "heal over time" effects like in other [[Tales Series(series)]] games, so you'll hear those a ''lot'', especially Revive because it heals the entire party.
* [[Character Tiers]]
** Shirley is a bit of a [[Tier -Induced Scrappy]] because she's a caster (And you don't really need another), a weird form of hybrid between caster and ranged fighter (Which makes her [[Master of None]]). Not to mention, most of her spells are already known by Will, Norma, and Grune but mostly Will, so she essentially comes off as a clone of Will.
*** Casters in general are [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome]] in this game; they're mostly used for utility of comboing and playing to elemental weaknesses. The melee fighters deal ''way'' more damage, but you need at least Norma (And possibly Will or Shirley) for healing.
** The melees are basically top tier because of how the melee works; it's overpowered. However; they are much more likely to run out of TP if they spam Eres.
*** It certainly doesn't help that melee fighters can use the Extreme Symbol, which skyrockets physical attack power in exchange for cutting defense in half. The trade-off is so very worth it; [[Game Breaker|the character equipped with the symbol will deal absolutely absurd damage]]. For example, Senel using the symbol and wielding a elemental weapon that an enemy is weak to can easily break 10,000 damage with a single throw move. Spells tend to top off at about 2000-3000 damage, and take a lot of time to cast.
* [[Complete Monster]] - Jay's adoptive father, Solon. Vaclav is right up there, too, as is the captain of the Gadorian Knights.
** Vaclav could go for this {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Boss|before his death]]}} alone; and it's only after that we find out [[Playing Withwith Syringes|what else he was up to]].
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Really, any time the Gadorian Knight captain gets his ass kicked. The second time doubles as a-
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Poppo translating the Grand Gaet's language. Apparently, they bro speak.
Line 35:
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] - Go Shiina's soundtrack was pure awesome. ''Every. Single. Track.'' of it.
** This troper just replayed the game, and the two, brief cutscenes {{spoiler|when the cannon is first fired}} probably have her favorite tracks. And they're ''really'' brief.
** What really helped was the motif of the game {{spoiler|The sea}}, as well as the general atmosphere just plain ''FIT'' with the soundtrack. The usual composer(s) of the [[Tales Series(series)]] and their adrenaline-rush type music (much of which is done by series veteran [[Motoi Sakuraba]], who was absent for this installment) really wouldn't have worked, just as Go Shiina's serene soundtrack wouldn't have worked in the pumping games.
* [[Die for Our Ship]] - Shirley
** Chloe and Stella also suffer this, with the latter {{spoiler|actually dying in canon}}, but much less notably than Shirley does.
