As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- A blink-and-you-miss-it gag at the very beginning. Ajna tells Indr not to walk away from her. He floats away instead.
- Despite being a veteran battlefield commander with plenty of (unknowingly) horrendous acts under his belt, Dhar totally fails to intimidate Ajna once he gets absorbed as her first incarnation character. In fact, when Razmi joins the party, the very first thing she tries to do is set Dhar on fire, not even bothering to think about how dangerous he is compared to all the soldiers she casually burned to death before she met Ajna. And when Dhar protests against the idea of Ajna and Razmi beating up Ravannavar, he gets interrupted mid-sentence. The guy gets very little respect even after his Heel–Face Turn, as Razmi uses him as the butt of a "crossing the road" joke.
- Oh, great, Ajna totally gets her butt handed to her once the Navar Army spots her and Dhar orders the soldiers to capture her alive (since if Ajna dies, so does he). Ajna wakes up in a prison, with Dhar totally confused as to why he got thrown in with her. Dhar tells Ajna there's no way to escape, and when Ginseng muses that the party would need the axe to get out, Dhar says there's no way the soldiers would leave her with a weapon of any kind. TADA! Ajna reveals she just stored the axe in her Inner Realm. The parade gets rained upon when it turns out the cell door isn't made of brittle material, but the air vent is wide open.Ajna: Right, the air vents! Who leaves a giant open hole in their prison?
Dhar: Normally, our prisoners aren't carrying magical axes in their mysterious inner realms. - Ajna's horrifying realization that the party is trapped in her inner realm after Thorani wakes her up is followed by Razmi complaining about utter boredom, while everyone else is worried about going insane.
- During the schism between Zebei and Ajna after the events on Sumeru, Thorani clearly is not impressed with Zebei's desire to abandon Ajna. Part of it is Zehra Fazal's amazingly sunny delivery that still manages to get the subtext across, and part of it is just how surprising it is to hear Thorani indulge in Passive-Aggressive Kombat:Thorani: Now that we're out, I suggest we head to Port Maerifa. You should stick with Ajna until then.
Zebei: (disdainfully) I suppose we have no choice.
Thorani: (smiling sweetly) Right. Once you can get to the port you can decide whether you'll help Ajna along her journey, or leave her to die, like common beasts.
Zebei: (taken aback) U-uh... - Ajna meets Qadira when she's collapsed in the desert and begging weakly for water. Thorani of course gives her some... from her hair. Razmi's reaction shows that she has at least one weird thing she doesn't consider to be cool.Razmi: Gross. GROSS.
- When Qadira recovers, it doesn't take Razmi long to theorize about what's under her mask, deciding she most likely has no lips and asking to see for herself. Qadira quickly declares her lips are "perfectly standard," thank you.Qadira: You saved me in the desert. You said you'd help me find out what happened to my brother. I'm coming.
Razmi: Feh.
Qadira: But you leave me alone, Razmi!
Razmi: (sotto voce) No lips. - When Ginseng deduces that the temple was most likely deserted because of sand worms, Razmi is delighted.Razmi: Ooh, sand worms. Ajna, can I keep one? Just one little thing for ol' Razmi?
Ajna: Well, if we have to go through here anyway... no big deal, right?
Razmi: Nice.
Ajna: Yeah! Time to find out what a sand worm is!
Razmi: Uh oh.- When Ajna finally sees a sand worm, she's shocked, as she had assumed they'd be small- because, "you know, worms?"
- When asked why she likes sand worms so much, Razmi simply replies "they remind me of my youth."
- Nuna's Precocious Crush on Hunoch and Xiboch:Nuna: Let's take it back to my boyfriends! I mean Hunoch and Xiboch!
- There's also the fact that Nuna is able to identify Xiboch's skull immediately by looking at the shape.
Ajna: Sports fans are weird. This is too gross.- Continuing with that side quest, the conversation that initiates it deserves mention. The brothers and Ajna converse, with Numa occasionally interjecting with an excited, screen-shaking 'Hi guys!', with the aforementioned parties completely ignoring her. For the most part, anyway.
Nuna: HI! HI GUYS!Hunoch: (Nonchalantly) Oh, hey Nuna.Nuna: He talked to meeee~ - Camazotz vomits a bunch of skulls upon being defeated, grossing Ajna out severely. Her disgust turns to confusion when Razmi suddenly appears.Ajna: Razmi, when did you get here?Razmi: When you said "threw up" and "skulls" in sequence.
- Dhar of all people tries baby-talking to Lanshi. Ajna is immediately grossed out.Dhar: It's not gross!Kushi: It is a little gross.
- When the team comes across Baozhai's booze stash in the Iron Kingdom, they stop for to drink for a bit. Dhar, who is just barely of age, awkwardly asks to try some... and is unable to keep it down at all. Ajna just smells some and freaks out and asks if it's poison, which causes Razmi to regret turning it down.Ajna: Am I dead!? Baozhai! Am I dead!?
- There's also the fact that Kushi tries to get in on it despite being mostly characterized by being a very responsible young lady- as well as, you know, very clearly far too young to be drinking. Zebei sternly turns her down.
- Recruiting Yan: She tries to whisper to Ajna, telling her that the guard below her cage has the key to let her out. Razmi wanted Ajna to go beat up the guy before the conversation even started, and it appears that the guard heard the whole thing, rhetorically asking if the girls expected him to just hand over the key.
- From a conversation with Yan in the Inner Realm:Yan: What the heck do I do now that I'm free?Ajna: If it makes you feel better, you probably can't escape from my brain?Yan: ...thanks.
- Talking to Kushi after failing to beat Kala the first time around will result in Ajna reacting very poorly to Kushi's motivational song. It gets worse when Zebei joins in.
- Baozhai's huge, instant crush on Thorani is equal parts adorable and hilarious. She instantly goes from a loud, boisterous, and threatening pirate to a modest, polite, blushing mess. This ends up happening for almost every conversation they have together.
- Let's think about Leilani's side-quest, which involves gathering ingredients for a stew from different spots in Port Merifa. The ingredients include a basket of spicy peppers that are powerful laxatives, alcohol so strong that Baozhai (of all alcoholics) nearly loses her sense of taste (though she still tries to hog the bottle), and a monstrous sea-faring reptile that Leilani nicknames a "sea cucumber"... one would assume the meal would taste weird once Leilani's done cooking, but it turns out really good. Nobody but Leilani and her parents were crazy enough to try this combination of extreme tastes.
- Razmi's obsession with things being "crispy".
Meta
- A few of the introduction videos for the Incarnations have had their moments. Naga Rider's
in particular for being done in very hot-blooded Japanese.- Lanshi's dialogue is just a guy saying "Woof" and "Bark". No, really.
- And then there's Kogi's which is pretty standard for the introduction videos until near the end where the narrator begins to cough due to the spiciness of Kogi's food.
"It's like a spicy demon stabbing me in the tongue!" - Lanshi's dialogue is just a guy saying "Woof" and "Bark". No, really
- In the prototype there is a hard to reach secret boss. It's the crappily drawn Easter Egg cat from Skullgirls. It returns in the Backer Preview, too!
- Also in the prototype, every so often when you use Razmi's healing power she'll say:Razmi: I'm here to save your sorry ass.
- Throughout the PAX East 2019 demo, everyone in Ajna's party is constantly disrespecting Dhar. He's a soldier of Ravannavar, to be fair, but the interactions come off more like he's just The Friend Nobody Likes.
- Dhar even gets dunked on from a meta standpoint. Most characters level up fairly normally in this demo of the game. Dhar's level is negative twenty-six, and never hits the positives.
