** Two-handed swords. In theory, they should be slower than one-handed swords in exchange for greater power and range, and if you're just swinging regularly, they are. However, their special move is a spinning attack that has barely any startup lag, and while the equivalent move with one-handed swords has a fair bit of ending lag, the two-handed sword special doesn't. So in practice, the two-handed sword is actually faster than the one-handed sword, and spamming the special allows you to inflict massive hurt while leaving barely any opening for enemies to attack you.

* LoveItOrHateIt: The Runey system. Again.
* ScrappyMechanic: If you don't like it, the Runey System. Basically, you have to balance out nature spirits (Complete with their own food chain, so they never STAY balanced) by sucking them up with an inefficient "Harvester" and spreading them out evenly throughout the world. If you do it right, your crops will grow much faster (To the point of GameBreaker status; see above). But if you ignore this (Or aren't aware of the need to do so) the runeys will die out. And Runeys dying out in even ONE AREA (There are 7 or 8 areas) of the world can cause crops to take much longer to grow (Up to 4 times as long!) and/or randomly die in your fields. Needless to say, it has caused a case of BrokenBase.
** While those that like it point out that it can speed up crop growth and can be streamlined, critics have some valid points when they point out that it's fairily inefficient, tedious, and NOT optional at all. Simply put, if you don't spend a good chunk of time on the system, you can kiss your chances of farming goodbye as your crops take forever to grow and randomly die.
*** To clarify on why it can be love or hate, you need to collect different Runeys and release them in order to balance them out (on top of natural death/growth rates). To collect them requires using an item to suck in near by Runeys. However, doing so results in a good 4 second or so animation and it only sucks up Runeys very near you (around 12 or so in a crowd) and it does so indiscriminately (you can't pick which ones you want and you will suck up everything in range). You can't move while this is happening either. Releasing them also results in a long animation (and you can't move). And you need to do this for many areas each of which can have tens of different Runeys spread all over the area. The result is that while the mechanic isn't necessarily bad, the means to interact with it is long and imprecise. If you want to suck up only 2 near by Runeys of a specific type, you end up having to suck up all nearby Runeys and then release the all of the Runeys except for the 2 you want.
** The worst part is that the game and the manual don't really explain this at all. They mention it, but don't explain any of the finer points. To truly understand how to make it work [[GuideDangIt you'll have to look on the internet]].
* ThatOneBoss: If you don't know the tricks, ''all'' the bosses will qualify, even if not at first. But the dungeon bosses just outshine the storyline bosses in particular; in addition to [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever their massively towering sizes]], they can ass-whoop you in a few hits even around the first time you fight them. On successive visits, they'll be waiting for you with a new bucket of kick-assery. [[spoiler: Even ''that'' fades in comparison to their post-endgame power-ups, where their stats are buffed up ''2~3 times'' to hit '''three''' digits their original, with their HP [[strike: literally OverNineThousand]] hitting '''FIVE''' digits. Have fun dying!]]
** However, two dungeon bosses need to be defeated only once, and the other two are just [[BonusBoss optional]]. But chances are, you're gonna need to fight them sooner or later, since you need their unique drops for... [[spoiler:your kid's toys]].

However, doing so results in a good 4 second or so animation and it only sucks up Runeys very near you (around 12 or so in a crowd) and it does so indiscriminately (you can't pick which ones you want and you will suck up everything in range). You can't move while this is happening either. Releasing them also results in a long animation (and you can't move). And you need to do this for many areas each of which can have tens of different Runeys spread all over the area. The result is that while the mechanic isn't necessarily bad, the means to interact with it is long and imprecise. If you want to suck up only 2 near by Runeys of a specific type, you end up having to suck up all nearby Runeys and then release the all of the Runeys except for the 2 you want.
** The worst part is that the game and the manual don't really explain this at all. They mention it, but don't explain any of the finer points. To truly understand how to make it work [[GuideDangIt you'll have to look on the internet]].
* ThatOneBoss: If you don't know the tricks, ''all'' the bosses will qualify, even if not at first. But the dungeon bosses just outshine the storyline bosses in particular; in addition to [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever their massively towering sizes]], they can ass-whoop you in a few hits even around the first time you fight them. On successive visits, they'll be waiting for you with a new bucket of kick-assery. [[spoiler: Even ''that'' fades in comparison to their post-endgame power-ups, where their stats are buffed up ''2~3 times'' to hit '''three''' digits their original, with their HP [[strike: literally OverNineThousand]] hitting '''FIVE''' digits. Have fun dying!]]
** However, two dungeon bosses need to be defeated only once, and the other two are just [[BonusBoss optional]]. But chances are, you're gonna need to fight them sooner or later, since you need their unique drops for... [[spoiler:your kid's toys]].

** Erik may be EstrogenBrigadeBait in the fandom, but in-game, he's the butt of jokes regarding his failure at romantic relationships.
