History YMMV / BlazingSoulsAccelate

* ThatOneAttack: Most bosses' Original Skills are TotalPartyKill attacks, but Etelo's "Metatron Hunt" deserves a special mention, as it deal over 10.000 damage to everyone four squares away from him ''and'' [[LifeDrain drain their HP]]. With a single cast of it, Etelo can completely change the tide of the battle by killing most party members in one turn and fully healing himself at the same time.
* {{Tearjerker}}:

* ScrappyMechanic: The Search system. To unlock new places on the PointAndClickMap, you have to enter the Guild and pick three characters to perform a search. [=NPCs=] give hints on where to look, but some of them are poorly translated ([[BlindIdiotTranslation "Mountain Range" is called "Silvesta"]]). Searches also cost WP (Work Points), which are very hard to get, forcing you to abuse SaveScumming if you fail, as running out of points means that you have to either try to complete one of the limited amount of quests available or spend hours grinding for CP to convert them into WP. To make things worse, some places have specific requirements to be unlocked, like having a total STR and VIT stat of 35 or higher, or you need to have a specific alias equipped ([[FakeDifficulty though the game didn't tell you that]]), so even if you find the right place, you still fail and lose WP.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: At first glance, you will think [[BlankSlate Hermes]] is a ''boy''. Funnily enough, this doesn't happen with [[SweetPollyOliver Kaye]], as her voice and face is too feminine to even pass for a DudeLooksLikeALady.

** Liza's [[LimitBreak Encouragement]] caused her to receive the FanNickname of "SP Battery"; it gives anyone two squares from her a level and half's worth of SP gauge at the cost of three levels of her own. Thing is, you can have your entire party at the start of the battle spending their first turn basically for filling Liza's SP gauge via ''buffing her with basic spells'', with Liza accelerating the process by buffing herself [[labelnote:How the SP gauge works]]The SP gauge has 30 points per level. Each action made sans for moving will give two points, and every action received will give other two. This means a character gets a level of the gauge every 15 actions performed or received. This can be shortened to eight actions if said character is buffing him/herself, as he will be both performing ''and'' receiving the action.[[/labelnote]]. With such a strategy, Liza can hit SP3 at her second turn, activate Encouragement and give the other five members a load of gauge. This means characters who get buffs by getting to the second or third level of the gauge (like Genius, which cuts the AP costs of skills) will be fully ready for action by their second or third turn. And the best part? As the party also accumulated SP by repeatedly buffing her, this means ''they will be perfectly able to unleash their [[LimitBreak Original Skills]] as well''.

* CompleteMonster: [[TheBaroness Brumeia]] is one of the Human Genomes tasked by [[BigBad Gustavinus]] to replace all of the humans. Instead of following Gustavinus's orders, she went into the Vergis Kingdom and then enthralled its king to murder all of his families so that she could become its [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen queen]] who rules the Kingdom with an iron fist while she [[ManipulativeBitch manipulates the king]] for decades for her own benefit. At one point, she [[FlayingAlive skinned a maid]] over the course of one week just because the maid called her "pretty". She also sent a thief that the main heroes encountered before to steal an Elemental Core which the main heroes possessed. When the citizens of Vergis Kingdom started a rebellion led by Nguyen Le, a survivor of the Vergis Kingdom massacre, Brumeia brainwashed her soldiers to fight against them, and when encountered by Nguyen, Brumeia then uses the king and the royal retainer as personal attack dogs against Nguyen while both of them were [[AndIMustScream aware of what they are doing]] in order to cause Nguyen to become emotionally shattered. Running away to a faraway desert after being defeated, Brumeia then attacks the innocent bystanders who passes through the desert by controlling the bandits so that she could establish her new base. In the end, she ruins other people's life and makes them suffer just [[ForTheEvulz for her own amusement]].

** Snow and Jadore are the central characters from ''Spectral Force 2'', where the former was the protagonist and the latter was the BigBad. This game, however, [[NoExportForYou never saw release in the West]], and Idea Factory dropped the ball hard when they had the chance to release ''Spectral Force Legacy'', a remake of the two ''Spectral Force'' games, in the West. ''Spectral Force 3'', a POVSequel to ''Spectral Force 2'', was released in the West, however, but it doesn't follow the war as much as it follows the Norius Mercenaries.

* CatharsisFactor: As demonstrated below, Brumeia and Sauber earn the lion's share at being so far more evil than their leader, that it actually feels ''climatic and satisfactory'' when you get to plant their asses into afterlife.

* CompleteMonster:
** Brumeia seems like she's ''made'' for the role. [[spoiler:Rather than just follow Gustavinus' plans, she goes out of her way to take Vergis Kingdom over for herself, [[BrainwashedAndCrazy enthrall its king]] [[MoralEventHorizon and sic him]] [[RulingFamilyMassacre into the entire royal family to ensure she becomes queen]]. Its prince, however, survived the onslaught and since then he sought out to take her down. She takes note of that, making the one responsible for his survival her "hostage", and when the prince comes for her, she [[HijackedByGanon sends the body-controlled retainer at him]], forcing the guy to kill the one man that saved his life. [[FromBadToWorse And then]], [[ItAmusedMe just because she felt like it]], she sends ''the king himself'' against the prince, [[HeroicBSOD who bascially goes near catatonic]] and ends up demanding a BigDamnHeroes moment.]] It feels [[CatharsisFactor so great when you finally get to lay your fist full-force into her on both fights]].
** Sauber is just as bad. Completely depraved and mysogynistic, he's so into taking jabs at women and even demonstrating intentions of rape. [[spoiler:Liza then proceeds to blow him a new one when she, [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil of all]] [[RapeAsDrama people]], takes note of his behavior and the fight to herself, to ensure he ''never gets to touch any woman again''.]]

** If you manage to get your hands on a Sorcery Gun, you can slap it on Aqueous Core Zelos to make him an superb mage who can smash enemies with Turbulence (Blizzard + Stone Shower + Star Dust) under the effect of Critical Break.

*** She gets massive magic potential from the get go. Her spells ''will'' hit hard, and all of her slots [[note]]One General physical slot, one Dark slot, and two of each Holy and Void slots[[/note]] synergize well. This only gets better as she progresses through her classes.

*** What makes this worse is that Hiro and Zelos [[NotSoDifferent are not that different when you look at their personalities]]. One could only imagine her having some curiosity about Zelos' ArtificialArms (as that [[RedRightHand big skull arm of hers]] is also artificial), for example.

** Meu is not around this time. Instead, we get her child, Al. Which is ''bad'', as we lost the chance to see an older version of her, and she's basically the ''Spectral Souls'' series' BreakoutCharacter that basically ''risked taking Hiro's place as the SeriesMascot''.

** Kaye's [[{{Invisibility}} Shadow Form]] makes so that no enemy detects her, ''even if she's planting her dagger at its eye''. It's so broken that you can solo stages with her if you're smart enough to count the turns and spam enough self buffs to fill at least one level of the SP gauge before going to town.

** Zelos himself has a nice demonstration that shows why he is as powerful as he is. With endgame content, he can obliterate just about anything,

** Bayard and Siegreid. Both worked for Roze in ''Spectral Souls II'', but the icing on the cake is that both also ''worked for Jadore in the First Neverland War''. Liza constantly confirms Bayard is still around, and ''Spectral Force Genesis'' showed him as one of the leaders ''two hundred years later''. Bayard is constantly mentioned both by his daughter and her profile; Siegreid has no such luck and gets left forgotten in ''Blazing Souls''.
