History YMMV / Fate

!!The [[{{VideoGame/{{Fate}} Video Game]]:

!!The Video Game:

* ScrappyMechanic: Muffle Magic for those heavily dependent on spell use, since it prevents you from casting spells for a while, and then you have to wait for your mana to recharge again.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb77ca68KEU&list=RDWvBwA4j3HSQ Captain O'Kane]], the first game's title music, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvBwA4j3HSQ The Clergy's Lamentation]], the background music for the town of Grove: two hauntingly beautiful arrangements of Turlough O'Carolan's compositions that somehow makes the hours upon hours the players would spend fishing in town (rather than battling monsters in the dungeon) tolerable, or even enjoyable.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Didn't really kick in until ''The Traitor Soul'' and, to a much lesser extent, ''The Cursed King''. The music in both games consisted of loops lasting under one minute composed by [=SomaTone=] Interactive, the same group of people who composed music for games produced by big-time developers such as Ubisoft, Electronic Arts and Blizzard Entertainment.

** There are also the elementals at early stages. Specifically, the magic elemental. The magic elemental is immune to all elements and magic. They can use [[{{Super Speed}} Haste]] to make themselves outrun you along with being [[{{Lightning Bruiser}} Sturdy and very damaging]]

*** The Armored Sharphorn deals very high damage and can easily tank your strongest attacks at higher levels. Their only weakness is their [[{{Mighty Glacier}} low speed]]

* MostWonderfulSound: The Critical Strike sound effect.

* HellIsThatNoise: The anvil crash sound upon a failed, lousy or cursed equipment enchantment.

** There are also the Spindly Creepers and Chittering Horrors. Like the two mentioned above, they can poison you (The Chittering Horror for over ''three minutes'', I think), and their poison will drain your health ''extremely'' quickly. On top of that, they can web you too. Have fun.

** There are also the elementals. Specifically, the magic elemental. The magic elemental is immune to all elements and magic. They can use [[{{Super Speed}} Haste]] to make thing worse for you. Overall, [[{{Lightning Bruiser}} They are resilient, hard hitting, and very fast.]]

* DemonicSpiders: The Widow Queen, its Widowlings and the Vile Tarantula. With a small group of Widowlings following it around, the Widow Queen will employ ZergRush if it sees you. The Vile Tarantula is not only relatively difficult to kill, but can also ensnare you with its Web Spell for a short time, effectively preventing you from fleeing and allowing other monsters nearby to beat you up. Consistent across all three is a scratch attack that often causes poison for nearly ''two minutes'', the longest period of poison across all four games.

* ExcusePlot: With every instalment, this YMMV trope's presence diminishes a little. The first game's plot could be summed up as "go down to Level x, kill this monster and be a hero". From the second game onwards, a PlotDevice is added, be it the Book of Fate, the Chamber of Trials or a hermit called Awadji.
