* RocketTagGameplay: If you play the game "normally"[[note]]as in, doing little to no grinding of any kind[[/note]], most of the game is this. Because there's only one party member, it being very easy to gain access to high power spells quickly and how the game usually spams enemies in three or more, most battles will either end with you steamrolling the enemies or getting steamrolled by them.

** In what must be the latest example of the trope ever, King Beigis can be a seriously late-game wake-up boss. Unlike all bosses, his close-range attack does less damage, forcing you to pass through the bridge and get close to him to fight. Not that it matters because he does a ton of damage compared to the other bosses you fight. If you've been plowing through and using your healing items willy-nilly, you might not have enough healing to keep yourself alive against him... him unless you go back to the towns and recoup those healing items again. Oh, and you're not getting any more healing items after that point... and the final boss is even harder.point.
