* ArtificialStupidity: The enemy unit design is ''very'' poor, often with formations that make no sense and are extremely inefficient. It turns out this may be [[DevelopersForesight intentional]], though: the game crashes if more than 28 actions are taken during a single combat (normally the most the player can get is 15), so putting the enemy characters in suboptimal positions ensures that limit never gets reached.

** One training battle features a cleric/faerie/wyrm group. Normally this formation is no trouble at all, but since training battles continue until one side is completely defeated and all Power Up/Power Down effects stack and never go away, this group can be impossible to defeat with the wrong party early in the game. The faerie's Blow Kiss ability means it quickly becomes impossible to hit anyone while the cleric heals all damage in a single spell. If you have a healer yourself, the battle quickly becomes a stalemate.
** Similar problems occur in the Elem Pedra training battles with venerable dragons, particularly the Flarebrass and Ahzi Dahaka fights.

* GambitPileup: The main plot of the game is the Revolutionary Army trying to win freedom from Lodis. Simple enough. Around this main plot, though, you have: the Royal Family trying to preserve their positions by stopping the Revolution while also finding the Ultimate Power to beat Lodis; nobles like Rhade, Godeslas, and Kerikov, trying to get on top by working for the Royal Family and secretly with Lodis; Lodis itself, playing both royals and nobles against each other while [[spoiler:working with netherworlders]] and trying to find the Ultimate Power themselves; Zeda, working with both Lodis ''and'' the Royal Family as suits her needs [[spoiler:to ultimately awaken Danika]]; and Yumil, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers wanting a peaceful solution]]. Lots of ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, MotiveDecay, SanitySlippage, and EnemyMine ensue, with the LastPlanStanding technically being [[spoiler:Zeda's]]. (Though it's less a matter of things going AllAccordingToPlan and more a case of everyone else dying first.) [[spoiler:Even the Netherworlders' plan to resurrect Danika is part of an even ''bigger'' gambit by Rashidi, the Big Bad of the first game]].

** Vampires require finding a super-rare Count's Garment and taking a complicated PlayerPersonalityQuiz to get a Bloody Emblem. Vampires themselves can only fight during nighttime and aren't that strong anyway.
** Rhade's Sword of Firedrake is the first elemental weapon seen in the game and used notably in the prologue. By the time you get it, you'll already have a Sum Mannus and likely a Blessed Sword, which are both much better.
** To a lesser extent Angel Knights, who take so much effort and luck to get "fairly" that their actual combat ability seems underwhelming.
