History YMMV / RomancingSaga3

** Martial Arts in general. The damage is mostly determined by the character's strength and speed, along with the skill level.
*** Punishing Palm and Tiger Break, two Martial Arts techs, among the most devastating attacks in the game. Punishing Palm hits all enemies for high damage. Tiger Break can hit a single enemy regardless of range, and ignores all defenses. Neither of them can be countered.

* WhatAnIdiot: Katarina and how she loses the Masquerade; her beloved "Mikhail" (actually a thief named Jackal in disguise) approaches her in town at night, says some sweet words, and then asks for the legendary blade, which is given without question or suspicion until it's too late and he runs off with it.

* GuideDangIt: The minigame in which you manage holdings and is necessary to beat if you want to get rid of Dophore for good.

** The most notorious one is Dragon's Descent Rukh (named "Zo" in some translations or "Elephant" in the Japanese version). Dragon's Descent is a Soryu magic art that allows the caster to use Spells and Skills without any cost, but the drawback is that the caster will lose 1 LP per hit they take. Ruhk has over 30 LP, perhaps the highest quantity in the franchise behind [[VideoGame/RomancingSaGa2 Coppelia]], who has a whopping 99.

** Genbu Arts has the Water Ball Water Magic, which provides a shield from the final attack that would KO you and damage your Life Points, and the Overdrive Water Magic, which always allows you to get the first hit on the enemy.
** The most notorious one is Dragon God Rukh (named "Zo" in some translations). Dragon God is Wind magic that allows the caster to use Spells and Skills without any cost, but the drawback is that the caster will lose 1 LP per hit they take. Ruhk has over 30 LP, perhaps the highest quantity in the franchise behind [[VideoGame/RomancingSaGa2 Coppelia]], who has a whopping 99.
