History YMMV / Mardek

** Phoenix Downs prior to their massive {{Nerf}} in the Chapter 3 updates: when thrown at undead, they inflicted an average of 5000 damage, with an apparent damage range of 1000-10,000! This allowed players to farm the Zombie Locksmith (who usually got {{One Hit Kill}}ed) for his then-rare drop of the Keyblade (which used to be only 1% drop instead of 50%). Also allowed players to steamroll the [[spoiler:Zombie Dragon]] BonusBoss in two turns without any effort.

* UnfortunateImplications: In the starting hometown, there's a bookshelf containing a book named "Elements and Breeding", which states: "Elemental traits can also come into play when it comes to love and sexual relationships. Your elemental affinity plays a large part in determining who you're attracted to, and how well relationships with others will turn out for you. Males, being the dominant gender, also like to be the dominant element in relationships; thus they are attracted to females of the element they are strong against first and foremost. Females, secretly lusting to be dominated and ravished, are attracted to men of the element superior to themselves. So such matches work rather well." In the author's defence, it may have been intentional given its over-the-top nature and the game's humorous tone, and another book in a later chapter denounces it: "You may have had the misfortune of picking up and reading through a sordid tome entitled 'Elemental Compatibility', or maybe the similarly vile 'Elements and Breeding', both by some nitwit of a drunkard who claims to have authority on such matters. Bah!"
