* It's implied in the SNES version that the story arc in Bloodpool does see the Bloodmen actually give in to the monsters and hold a lottery to determine occasional sacrifices to hold them off. Who's the unlucky one? ''[[DeathOfAChild Teddy]]''...AKA, the kid that you helped bring back home after his parents worried heavily for his safety prior. Thankfully, ''Renaissance'' retcons this storyline somewhat, but even then, it tugs at the heart just before Daniella switches things up.

* The whole arc for Northwall in ''Renaissance''. The AmbiguouslyHuman Taia was raised by her friend "Frost". When she describes Frost, the Angel immediately recognizes him as one of Tanzra's agents, the Arctic Wyvern. Throughout most of the arc, the Wyvern behaves much like an Expy of [[Literature/TheHobbit Smaug]], threatening the Northmen. Taia later makes an attempt to reach out to her former friend, only for the Wyvern to give a BreakingSpeech about how he was created to serve Tanzra as a harbinger of death. But the Northmen ask the all important question: He could have killed them all when he sensed their rebirth, so [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim why did he choose to only send out hordes]] instead? Taia is given a HopeSpot that the Wyvern can be given a HeelFaceTurn, only for it to be dashed when Tanzra's influence upon him causes him to send out the final horde. The Wyvern then begs the Lord to give him a MercyKill in order to be freed from Tanzra's influence. Never has one of the bosses in the original game been given a DeathEqualsRedemption moment.

** The achievement for defeating the Acts' bosses are usually describing their defeat as as the Master triumphing over them utterly. The achievement for defeating the Arctic Wyvern by contrast is "Wyrm Condemned, Forgiven".

** The original iteration of the even in the [=SNES=] version could be summed as thus, courtesy of Roo from the Website/ClanOfTheGrayWolf:
->'''Roo''': (stiffling through tears) "[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Aeris]] doesn't have a monopoly on sad gaming moments, you know! (sobs) I need a minute!"
