* WhatTheHellHero: In both of the standard endings, at least one member of your party will be unhappy with your choice. [[spoiler:Binding your soul to Akachi's will anger Kaelyn, as it means you've sworn yourself to protect the very thing she seeks to destroy, and the One of Many just mocks you for choosing an eternity in the City of Judgement. If you free yourself from the curse but not end it, however, Safiya will be angry that you've let Akachi continue to suffer, and Okku will be mad that you've ditched your chance to end the curse for good for your own survival.]] And then there's the Bad End, where ''everyone'' (save [[spoiler:the One of Many]]) will be against you.
