1* AngstWhatAngst: Levin seems to get over being deceived by the rest of Chevalet Blanc pretty fast.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The game has one of the best soundtracks in the ''VideoGame/WildArms'' series. The battle themes are particularly cool.
3* DemonicSpiders: The Harpy enemies. They are faster than you, dodge easily, inflict a multitude of status ailments including confusion and instant death, and tend to steal your items and run away. Thankfully they are also one of the game's [[PinataEnemy Pinata Enemies]].
4* GameBreaker:
5** Casting Slow Down on an enemy and then attacking with characters equipped with the Decelerate skill practically guarantees that this enemy will never act; equip "Accelerate" on your own characters to make it certain. This is the best way to deal with bosses. All these abilities are included in the four classes you have from the beginning of the game.
6** Other examples: Having a slow character use the Strider class' "Trail" on a fast character to give them twice as much range; "Turn Shift" chains; "[[GrapplingHookGun Anchor Hook]]"ing enemies into BottomlessPits; "Intrude" chains; Felius' "Status Absorb" + High Cavalier's "Status Transfer" etc.
7* GoodBadBugs: If you have one item, and a Harpy steals that item from a Copy, and you use it in the same round with the person who the Copy is based off; you now have 255 of the item.
8* LesYay: Laby and her...fondness for (for lack of a better description) changing Clarissa's clothes.
9* TearJerker:
10** Alexia mourning for [[spoiler:Hrathnir]] after Act 3-2 is short, but powerful.
11** The backstory as to exactly why Clarissa hates lies so much definitely counts.
12** The ending, in which [[spoiler:Felius [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices himself]] by destroying the Lombardia with himself on board to save Filgaea and Elw Borea. The game ends with Clarissa crying in Alexia's arms.]]
13** [[spoiler:King Hrathnir]]'s HeroicSacrifice becomes even more heartbreaking on a second playthrough when the player realizes that he figured out the truth and really is saying good-bye to [[spoiler:his real daughter as he asks her to kill him!]]
14* ViewerGenderConfusion: Done intensionally with Weisheit, who has a male name, is voiced by woman and has an androgynous appearance. Even InUniverse, the characters aren't sure of Weisheit's gender. As it turns out, [[spoiler:Weisheit is actually "Kressen," a man who can inject his consciousness into other people via [[AppliedPhlebotinum ARMs]]. Weisheit - the body - is a woman, and as such is acted by a female seiyuu, but because her ''consciousness'' is a man, everyone calls her "he".]]
