A Force Boost is a 3-turn buff that can enhance their performance while active, while a Force Break is not a powerful skill that can be used during Force Boost, but using a Force Break prevents further use of Force Boost or Break until the party returns to town.

** Beasts were built around TakingTheBullet for the party, but there were a few pitfalls in the programming: First, their Loyalty made them tank hits automatically, and second, they would take the damage the defended member would have taken, without taking into account the Beast's own defense. This meant that instead of a party surviving a non-lethal HerdHittingAttack, the Beast could take all hits that are destined for its allies and die as a consequence. Also, when it moves to defend a GlassCannon or SquishyWizard, the Beast would take damage higher than it would if it were attacked directly. ''The Fafnir Knight'' reworked the Loyalty skill tree -- Loyalty Mastery now gives the Beast a chance to halve incoming damage, any damage it would take now correctly uses the Beasts's own defense stats, and any tanking actions from the Beast are player-controlled rather than automatic.

* NonStandardGameOver: After defeating the first form of the Overlord, he tempts you with immortality in exchange for abandoning your pursuit of the Holy Grail. Agreeing ends your game. Refusing gives you a moment's reprieve to patch up your party (but you're forbidden from leaving the boss room) before you commence the next phase of the fight.

* DangerThinIce: The highest floor of Frozen Grounds features a space whose surface consists of an ephemeral layer of ice that is unsafe to stand on. The player's character party has to wait until night falls so the cold temperature hardens the layer and makes it safe to pass over.

* BlatantLies: If you use the password system, it's stated multiple times that [[spoiler:your guild saved Etria. This is completely false, as your guild ''killed'' their Yggdrasil by killing the only thing keeping it alive, and potentially turned it into a GhostTown. Though this was fixed with ''The Millennium Girl'', as Etria's Yggdrasil (as well as Gungnir) would have wiped a large portion of civilization off the map if your party hadn't intervened.]]

Due to a grave incident that occured 100 years ago during the then-last ritual, now remembered as the Anomaly, it has been abandoned by humans, and turned into a perfect habitat for dangerous monsters, including powerful bosses like Basilisk and Demi-Fafnir.

* GardenOfEden: The Forbidden Wood takes cues from the biblical Garden of Eden, with it being the lush, pristine forest where the Overlord raises his most powerful creations, including the Ur-Child who is the most powerful entity created by him. This also makes it the most dangerous location in the game, which is why it's a BonusDungeon only accessible during the postgame.

* GameBreakingBug: On [=B10F=] while playing on a file with the OldSaveBonus applied, a guard appears on a tile and, if talked to, offers the party an overpriced Ariadne Thread as a form of expensive insurance if they fall for the nearby squirrel. The event is so obscure that the English version of game (and no others) has some bits of improper color formatting present in the narration. This is just a funny oversight in the DS original... but it wasn't fixed in the ''Origins Collection'' remaster, and talking to the guard in that version causes the game to hang and forces a restart.
