* At one point, you're on a ship. The group meets up with a random travelling swordswoman, who then proceeds to suggest everyone gets drunk together. This leads to her and your group's summoner- Klarth- drunk and talking about politics and how there's a spy in the area you're headed to. While this is going on, Arche, who is a witch and completely lusting for the main character, Cless, has passed out from drinking. She interrupts the swordswoman and Klarth's talks with random yelling-in-sleep moments about a rather explicit dream. Then, the morning after that, a monster is on the ship. The healer is seasick, and Klarth and Arche are both hungover, leaving Cless to fight alone.

* When trying to encounter the unicorn, Arche runs off elsewhere at one end of the forest. From there, she can either avoid the fight vs. the three evil lords that ensue, or you can pick her up; both versions have everyone wonder what she was doing there. Turns out, due to the unicorn being fabled to meet with "maidens of pure heart", Arche frustratingly mentions that she might've done some "things" with a prior boyfriend of hers, then quickly denies it. Claus in the meanwhile is just chuckling to himself.

* There's a few skits based around a rather complicated "defeat Dhaos" IncrediblyLamePun from Cress (the joke being that the Japanese word for "defeat", "taosu", and how Dhaos' name is said in Japanese ("daosu") sound ''extremely'' similar and in writing are separated by a single ''chon'' marker). It's worth it for the way the fan translations try to engage in some {{Woolseyism}} on a line that even the greatest of translators would bang their head against.

In Phantasia's prequel, Tales of Symphonia, the character who can earn the same title is ... Sheena. 'nuff said.

* While the Absolute Zero PSX translation does a good job, the Phantasian Productions version goes for something along the liens of what a localization would do, including redoing a few more lines into more humourous ones.
