** All of the pixellated nudity—even if the character designs make you think you'd want to see it, it's really not exciting. At all.

** The {{spoiler|implied Chu-Chu orgy in Shevat}} qualifies too, though that one takes [[Fan Disservice]] to horrifying levels.

* [[Game Breaker]]: For much of the first disc, Vierge + Ether Doubler + Power Magic = one shotting bosses with Aerods. A bit later you get the Power Crisis which causes the user to deal more damage at lower HP - except it's a bit too effective, losing even a few HP makes the user the most powerful attacker in the game and at low HP you can kill a gear sized enemy on foot.
* [[Game Breaker]]: For much of the first disc, Vierge + Ether Doubler + Power Magic = one shotting bosses with Aerods. Ether Doubler does exactly what it sounds like: doubles the power of any Ether attack, at the expense of also doubling the EP cost. What makes this combo truly broken is that ''Aerods don't '''have''' an EP cost''; they're powered by Fuel. Thus, they get massively buffed by Ether Doubler ''for free''. A bit later, you get the Power Crisis which causes the user to deal more damage at lower HP - except it's a bit too effective, losing even a few HP makes the user the most powerful attacker in the game and at low HP you can kill a gear sized enemy on foot.
** The Holy Pendant doubles the duration of in-battle effects on the equipped character. Possibly due to a [[Good Bad Bugs|programming oversight]], this bonus also extends to Gear combat, which means that the equipped character can spend up to ''six turns'' in [[Limit Break|Hyper Mode]]. [[Lost Forever|Miss your chance]] to buy one? Never fear! You get one for free when Billy joins you.

** More generally: Citan is obscenely powerful, due to his high HP and the highest Agility stat in the game. The Power Crisis accessory is obscenely powerful, due to increasing the equipped character's attack power by huge margins as their HP gets lower. Equip Citan with Power Crisis, let him get hurt, and you have an unstoppable death machine on your hands.
