Line #11 YMMV/RogueGalaxy


1	* AnnoyingVideoGameHelper: Party members frequently suggest courses of action during battle, in the form of a ''pop-up menu''. They're smart enough to prioritize Revives and {{Healing Potion}}s when HP is low, but it can still get tiresome.
2	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
3	** Gale, a minor villain from a single chapter, gets tons of fan love. It helps that A) he's voiced by Creator/CrispinFreeman and B) he gets an AlasPoorVillain moment.
4	** Burton, an archaeologist who finds himself in many ridiculous situations manage to win the hearts of many for the sheer entertainment his antics leaves, and pulling a [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Hero]] moment in the finale and being awesome while doing it.
5	* GameBreaker: Powerful weapons can be obtained relatively early thanks to item crafting [[GuideDangIt if you know the right weapon combos]]; spamming combination attacks also makes the game easier.
6	* {{Glurge}}: Miyoko and Chie do this to some players, but they are looking across an entire galaxy for husband and father [[spoiler:who happens to be Simon]].
7	* MoralEventHorizon:
8	** Valkog plans to use Eden to flood the galaxy with monsters, simply so he can prolong the war for maximum profit.
9	** Dr. Izel experimenting on his own brother, and [[spoiler:sending him on a completely pointless mission that results in his death]].
10	* {{Narm}}:
11	** Nearly every character or dungeon, no matter how minor or irrelevant to the overall plot, has a tragic backstory. In many cases, this backstory is the only actual character trait they ever receive.
12	** For some, the Relic's Song. While it is a big epic orchestral number, the male voice only repeats two words over and over, what sounds like "Hungary Bravera", and the female voice doesn't have any discernible lyrics.
13	* TheScrappy: MIO for being an annoying ValleyGirl and Jupis for being an arrogant KarmaHoudini.
14	* ScrappyMechanic: [[BeehiveBarrier Barrier enemies]], which require you to switch Jaster's subweapon to the Barrier Break Shot (the only method capable of destroying said barriers) every single time they pop up. The weapon itself is nigh useless otherwise, being capable of dealing damage but having an attack stat of ONE (starting at a point in the game where you'll have guns in the 100-150 attack range), so you'll likely end up switching back to the old weapon after eliminating all the barriers or after the battle. Then MORE barrier enemies show up in the next battle or two...
15	* SelfImposedChallenge: Getting the Frog Log's basic requirement itself is already pretty time-consuming (analyzing 100 weapons and combining 50 weapons in the log.) But getting every single weapon in the Frog Log filled will take days if not weeks to finish. Not only is it hard enough just to obtain certain weapons, either by remembering which store sells the one the log needs or by combining other weapons, but other weapons are available once the player has reached certain chapters and some weapons are only obtainable once they've been created in the factory which is already a challenge in of itself.
16	* SidetrackedByTheGoldSaucer: When the player arrives at the Insector stadium in Zerard, Zegram will [[LampshadeHanging mention to Jaster]] that some people get a bit ''too'' addicted to pitting their Mons against each other in tournament battles.
17	* TearJerker:
18	** "This time... don't let her go." As well as the end of chapter 6, and a couple other places if you're really soft.
19	** "Are you laughing, Deego? I wasn't able to get... anything back... after all..."
20	** Probably the entire section of collecting character-specific {{MacGuffin}}s.
21	* ThatOneBoss: Deego's [[DuelBoss one-on-one]] fight against Gale, which is itself the second phase of a {{Sequential Boss}} Battle. Fortunately, the first half is rather easy. Though it's possible to guard against Gale's attacks, the fight in question tends to drag out when you do so.
22	* ThatOneLevel: Gladius Towers, a pair of huge eight-floored towers with confusing overlapping layout, '''lots''' of dead ends and switching to the other tower every few floors. Then you'll go back and goes through the ''other'' tower from the beginning. It'll take some time.
23	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The plot build up Seed as an awesome and eventually tragic villain, but then he just gets beaten and thrown aside. Instead, we end up with a [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere last-minute]] [[spoiler:"Mother" of Rune and a Valkog/Battleship chimera]] for a final boss.
24	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The narrative of the game's world starts off with a war between the Longardian Federation and the Draxilian Empire. However, once it turns out that [[spoiler:the Daytron Corporation is mass-producing monsters with Rune, and is thereby orchestrating the war for profit]], the war plot becomes quickly forgotten.
25	%%* TheUntwist: Just about every character can be described as having some dark secret that is easily guessed the first time it's hinted at.
