| 1 | * {{Altitis}}: First-time players may suffer from this. There are five "Callings" (which follow the usual RPG "Warrior, Mage, Rogue, Cleric" thing, plus the fifth Primalist), which are to souls (classes) as [[SuperTrope Super Tropes]] are to tropes. Each Calling has 8 distinct souls by default (with up to 3 additional souls purchasable using credits), and you (eventually) get to pick three of them to use in combination. So, you're probably going to be doing a fair bit of tinkering to see not only which Calling is right for you, but which combination of souls is best for you. {{Downplayed|Trope}} in that creating a single character gives you access to exactly 20% of all possible character configurations for a token fee. If you want to see and try everything, you only need five different characters, which is more than most {{MMORPG}}s can say. |
| 2 | * [[AwesomeBosses/VideoGames Awesome Bosses]]: [[EldritchAbomination Akylios]]. When first introduced, it was apparently a guild-raid level challenge worthy of any [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft WoW]] encounter, such that it was celebrated with a [=YouTube=] video commemorating its first defeat. Even watered down to casual level play as part of an [[PickUpGroup "Intrepid Adventure"]], and [[ZeroEffortBoss presented in a format]] it's nigh impossible to ultimately ''[[ZeroEffortBoss lose]]'' to, he's still a hell of a cinematic set piece, and a meat grinder easily capable of [[OneHitKill killing]] inattentive party members ''[[DeathIsCheap repeatedly]]'' - [[ClimaxBoss at the end]] of a gauntlet that will [[FinalExamBoss test]] ''all'' your basic and core play skills. |
| 3 | * LesYay: If the ShipTease between Uriel Chuluun and Kira Thanos isn't canon, it's pretty damn close. In the last part of the story of their "relationship" Mulia says that Kira has entranced Uriel's heart. In the headquarters of The Unseen, one of male agents asks if Kira would find his tunic attractive, to which he is told he is 'squirreling up the wrong tree.' |
| 4 | ** Which, [[FridgeHorror if you think about it]], gives the Defiant starting zone a distinct BuryYourGays vibe, seeing as how [[spoiler: Uriel's father Rahn tells you that she died defending the main Defiant city from [[ChurchMilitant the Guardians]]]]. (Although it's slightly more justified than most: After all, [[spoiler:Uriel is a SquishyWizard—and a [[LeeroyJenkins reckless]] one at that—and wouldn't have had Kira there to protect her]]). |
