* In the skit "What Goes Thump in the Night," Pascal complains she wakes up with headaches when she learns from Sophie that she was casting cryas artes in her sleep that actually WORKED and Sophie was smacking her around in attempt to stop her from casting them. Pascal was more amazed she was able to cast artes in her sleep and thanks Sophie for smacking her around to stop her arte casting, leaving Cheria totally baffled.

* During the main story, the game prevents you from exploring the Knight's Academy because there is apparently a very mean looking instructor standing in the hall and none of the party wants to get involved with him. In the Lineage & Legacies arc, the instructor is gone, but apparently he has an equally mean looking dog who is standing in the way now.

** Can we just [[SoGoodWeMentionedItTwice reiterate]] ''Hubert as the evil queen?'' Especially since he starts out as unenthusiastic as you would expect, until someone in the crowd starts to recognize him. At which point he decides "If it's an evil queen they want, then an evil queen they shall have!" and goes full-blown LargeHam complete with squeaky girly voice. The guy decides no Lieutenant of Strahta would ever embarrass himself like that.

* During a post-battle moment in the UpdatedRerelease, it's commented upon how [[TokenMiniMoe Sophie]] loves to eat crablettes (basically an omelette or cake made with crab and eggs). When Pascal suggests that Richard, being the prince, eats "royal crablettes" every day, Sophie effectively turns into a zombie, shuffling after him and chanting with a CreepyMonotone for Richard to give her the "royal crablettes" which naturally freaks him out and causes him to back off with her in pursuit. Pascal just stands back grinning and waving them off.

* One funny thing to note is Asbel's interactions with Pascal. If one pays attention, he rarely ever tries to talk to Pascal unless the situation calls for it; more often Pascal plays off of Malik, Sophie, Cheria, or Hubert. However, nearly any interaction between Asbel and Pascal gives the impression that Absel just does not like Pascal being there, often being dismissive of her. This crosses into funny given the lengths he goes to avoid talking to her and the fact she seems blind to the idea Asbel might not like her.
