Context YMMV / HalfMinuteHero

Go To

1!![=YMMVs=] applying to Half-Minute Hero as a whole:
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Both games have great soundtracks from a number of legendary Japanese composers, including Yasunori Midsuda, Norihiko Hibino, Motoi Sakuruba, Yoko Shimomura, Yoshino Aoki, Michiru Naruke, Tetsuya Shibata, Kenji Ito and Hiroyuki Iwatsuki. And that's not even the full list!
3** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIRQ1j169fU first thing]] you hear.
4** The [[http://youtu.be/xTb-mYYUSZY Hero 30]] music is fun.
5** The [[http://youtu.be/JXilkf6eXW8 Hero 300]] music fits the impending-end-of-the-world mood.
6** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrRt5TclDh8 AAAAAAAAH BATTLE FIGHT!]] AAAAAAAH [[GratuitousEnglish BATTLE FIGHT!]]"
7* DemonicSpiders: Giant enemies in the second game. Trying to fight them without the Hero Castle will cause you to be kicked back to the start with only 10 HP remaining. Bumping into them inside a Global Dungeon (where the Hero Castle cannot be used) is even worse, as you will instantly be kicked back to the entrance and lose any acquired item.
8* FridgeBrilliance: When fighting [[spoiler: the Evil Lord]] in Hero 300, [[spoiler: your party actually fits within the rock-paper-scissors aspect of his game mode; Hero is a nimble, Princess is a shooter, and Knight is a brute.]]
9* GameBreaker: In the second game, it's possible to level up outside of the actual battles by running around and killing random encounters, any levels gained here are permanent and will affect your starting level in the actual battles. It doesn't really take all that long to level up, if you spend enough time leveling up it can render the rest of the game outside of the bonus levels pathetically easy, due to you being way overleveled for the content.
10* GoddamnedBats: Shooter enemies in Evil Lord 30. It's easy to run around other enemy types, but if there's more than a couple shooters nearby, they'll constantly knock you back.
11* GoddamnedBoss: Grillade, from Knight 30. Swoops in and attacks the Sage every few seconds, forcing you to drop what you're doing and move him out of the way, and prevents you from parking him on a sanctuary.
12* ItsEasySoItSucks: The initial modes available are all pretty easy once you understand them. Hero 30 gets progressively harder and throws you more curveballs as you continue, but the strategies for Evil Lord 30, Princess 30, and Knight 30 never significantly change.
13* PolishedPort:
14** The Xbox 360 port takes ''Half Minute Hero'', upgrades the graphics to a ''VideoGame/PaperMario''[=/=]''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Wind Waker]]'' like style, and changes the design of the other modes into more of a Hero 30 type but with different methods of attacking.
15** The PC version, [[WordSaladTitle "Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy"]], including both the new graphics from the XBLA version, and the original, more fleshed out versions of the other modes from the PSP release. The developers even call it the "ultimate version".
16* ScrappyWeapon: The SummonMagic Stones from ''The Second Coming''. Unlike skills, the timer doesn't freeze during their OverlyLongFightingAnimation, and the amount of damage inflicted by the stones isn't all that great.
