** [[YourMileageMayVary On the other hand]], at least one of his final battle forms can be an AnticlimaticBoss if you can keep him from casting; it's possible to [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp him so badly he only manages to get off a single attack]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS- His name was initially translated as Cless Alvein, but in both ''TalesOfDestiny'' and ''VideoGame/TalesOfEternia'' it was localized as Cress Albain. And in the [=GBA=] version of ''Phantasia'' it was changed to Cress Albane. Cress ultimately makes more sense, as it's a type of herb, like Mint.

* NeverSayGoodbye - Arche refuses to bid her friends from 100 and 150 years past her time goodbye when she returns to her own era at the end of the game, but this is because, unlike Klarth, she's a Half-Elf and her lifespan is such that she'll outlive them.
