* [[Complete Monster]]: Let's be honest here, Alhazad is the most depraved villain in the game besides Mother.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The remake has too many to list, but three that stand out are "War Demon" (Boomerang's theme), "Destruction of All Creation" (Mother's theme) and "Windward Birds" ({{spoiler|Zeik Tuvai's}} theme)
** the overworld theme "Lone Bird in the Shire" - made twice as cool after realizing that its also a [[Shout -Out]] to [[The Good, the Bad Andand Thethe Ugly]] (specifically, the very suitably epic "The Ecstasy of Gold" by none other than ''[[Ennio Morricone]]'')
** The Opening theme: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hlv8I4g7TWs&hd=1 Into the Wilderness] is one of this troper's favorite songs of ALL TIME. So Amazing.
** The Remake Alter Code F has some awesome songs as well. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6Djkbb8N_A&hd=1 Adlehyde Castle Town] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHEniRCsAu0&hd=1 Puzzle] are two of the best.
Line 14:
** Play through the game until the Volcannon Trap mission, which is when Jane temporarily joins you. Go fight Rat Monkeys at the beginning areas and have her steal MP Repair skills from them. Not only do they sell for a whopping 999,999 gella (ONE will pretty much take care of your money problems for the whole game, even including the 600,000 gella required to completely rebuild Adlehyde), but the skill itself restores MP as you walk, which is insanely helpful for characters like Jack, who has very little MP and very expensive special attacks (until they're leveled up anyway).
* [[Iron Woobie]]: Bartholomew. In both versions he survives a plane crash that he was forced into flying against his will and also survives a shipwreck. The latter is much worse in the remake.
* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]: Rudy! ''[[Wild Arms 5 (Video Game)|Wild Arms 5]]'' even pokes fun at this by having a sidequest where you resolve a love quadrilateral between him, Jane, Cecilia, and Mariel.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|Alhazad turning an entire town's population (save one blind girl) into monsters, and attempting to do the same thing to Jane's town. Keep in mind that the majority of her town's population are ''orphaned children''.}}
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Pretty much anything involving Mother. A fleshy pulsating thing, she's an [[Omnicidal Maniac]] who wanders the cosmos consuming countless star systems (making her a proto-[[Final Fantasy VII|Jenova]]). By far the creepiest scene with her is when {{spoiler|Zeikfried is teleported to the destroyed Photosphere as the result of falling into a black hole. only to find the ''veiny, slug-like remnance of Mother'' that proceeds to '''''rear up and consume him'' while cooing about how much she loves him, accompanied by sickening crunching noises.'''}}
