History YMMV / MasterOfTheWind

** [[spoiler: When Gino died! This troper was holding back tears.]]

* ThatOneBoss:
** Danika.

** The ''long'' battle against [[spoiler:Ariel]] and [[spoiler:her]] summons.

** Considering that a lot of the soundtrack comes from Crowning Music factories like Music/{{Apocalyptica}}[[note]]See above re:"Shroud vs. Sparrow", also known as "Path"[[/note]], Music/{{Nightwish}}, and Music/SonataArctica, this isn't entirely surprising.

* MagnificentBastard: Solik.

* AnticlimaxBoss: [[spoiler:Cleon]], surprisingly enough. The story makes him up to be quite the foe, and he could have been if he'd been fought with a one or two man party like many other bosses, but instead he had the misfortune of fighting [[spoiler:Valkyrie]] who flatly ignores his signature ability. If you even have to heal once during this battle it's because the mooks beforehand left you injured. (Of course he gets another go at it soon after).
** Also [[spoiler:Cari]], especially given what comes immediately before and after, but that was a given considering her powerset and role in the story.

** DemonicSpiders: During the last chapter [[spoiler:Valkyrie]] has to fight several huge groups of mooks. One would think that her new powers would make this a CurbStompBattle, and indeed they're barely capable of scratching her with any of their attacks, but every one of them can choose to heal almost as much damage as she can dish out in one turn at any time they feel like it, either for individuals or the whole group. Or throw up a shield that greatly reduces how much damage she can do, exacerbating the healing problem. And the group healing spell also cures all status effects.

And they're flatly immune to he primary magic attacks. Basically beating them down without (or even with) an inventory item that boosts damage output is a LuckBasedMission (and such items cannot be bought from the save fairy).

* ThatOneBoss: Danika.
* ThatOneLevel: Andau's Castle, A.K.A. ''the tutorial level'', has what may be the most irritating design in any RPG, involving a long sequence of trying to find ''which'' jump from a rope won't land you on a pit. [[spoiler:None of them are the way forward, either!]] This is ''not'' a good way to start your game.

* ThatOneBoss: Danika.

** [[spoiler:Gabriella's exile from her academy after Andau turns her. She may been a [[KnightTemplar bigoted]] [[JerkAss bitch]] while human, but seeing everyone she knew and loved completely turn on her actually makes you feel [[AlasPoorVillain sorry]] for her.]]

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome:
** Boss battle at a rock concert where the lead singer of the band summons angels playing electric guitars to fight you while he continues to rock on. WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome?
** [[spoiler: Laurel gaining her wings and saving herself and Finley at the end of the sixth Arc.]]
** [[spoiler: The moment where Stoic was beating off a mini-army while Shroud was calling a giant wind spell to stop Ketsu at the end of the last arc.]]
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Finley's dream in Arc IV. See DaydreamSurprise below.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: [[spoiler:The Rain of Fire scene in Stoic's backstory. Also overlaps with TearJerker, since the peace doesn't last.]]

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Boss battle at a rock concert where the lead singer of the band summons angels playing electric guitars to fight you while he continues to rock on. WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome?

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Most of the battle themes, particularly "No Education", "A Toccata Into Blood Soaked Darkness", and "Shroud vs. Sparrow".

* TearJerker: Several in later arcs. [[spoiler: Andau's death]], [[spoiler:Rana's betrayal]] and [[spoiler: Laurel getting her wings]] are powerful moments, but the most moving scene in the game is arguably [[spoiler: The Rain of Fire scene, where all the races on Solest put aside centuries of conflict to help each other in the wake of the disaster. All the more sad because it [[CorruptChurch doesn't last.]]]]
