* ArtificialStupidity: Monsters on your side are ''very'' stupid. For what they are (distractions if you have a class that shouldn't be tanking, until they inevitably die) they are alright, but in this type of game, they spend a lot of the battle knocked out. Perhaps the biggest failing of the monsters is the fact that they do not know how to respond to eidolons' rages. Players know to back off, but monsters will stay in, absorbing the hit.
* AttackAttackAttack: Becomes a somewhat valid strategy with certain builds - however, like a monster-hunting game, it ''will'' punish this kind of behaviour, meaning you have to know when to back off.

* PowerAtAPrice: Dark Knights will, if charging darkness up, be able to use their own health to fuel their attacks, stealing defense from the enemy. The "Sacrifice" ability also deals ''heavy'' damage but it takes a chunk of your health. You're able to pretty much undo this if you have Regen on before or during this.

* PowerupLetdown: Zig-zagged. Unlocking the Beastmaster class requires you to have made 20 monsters - and the beastmaster has the power to make Atlamiths drop guaranteed. By the time, you get this, you probably won't even ''need'' to craft a new monster since you'll already have a great reliable crew yourself. However, Atlamiths are also required to make accessories, which you ''do'' need....

* BoringButPractical: Regen. You'll probably find it your highest ranked ability and garnering the most mutations due to its somewhat low cost as well as the fact that major attacks usually are spread far enough apart that you can actually recover ''more'' health with Regen than ''Curaga''. Best part is, you can use it with any class.

* DevelopersForesight: Most bosses will turn around or use an area of effect attack (Ramuh's judgement bolt, for example) if you run behind them. Alexander, a StationaryBoss, can be exploited by this - it looks like there is an area wherein you can run ''behind'' him up a tree root and tool off on him there, and he won't use a lot of his damaging attacks. If you do this, Alexander will use a "Tail slam" attack that will send you flying and hurt a ''lot''. Odin, whose hitbox is a large rectangle, will also command Sleipnir to kick you away if you do this too much.
* DifficultySpike: A notable one comes with Bahamut and Diablos (See WakeUpCallBoss), but even more notable is the fact that once you get the Abherrant Eidolons, the game's difficulty ''ramps'' up.

** By the time you fight Dryad, if you haven't learned to watch out for the important game alerts (Very Bad Breath) as well as what to do when there is a red circle underneath you, you ''will'' get stuck.
** Diablos and Bahamut are this, for multiple reasons. Diablos uses an attack that starts drawing you ''towards'' it, telling you that if you really haven't gotten good with mobility and conserving your AP, now's a good time to start. Bahamut is, like Phoenix, a boss that alternates between two stances: Flying and Ground. In addition, Megaflare will ''draw'' you towards it - meaning you really ''really'' have to pay attention from now on.
** Amaterasu to a lesser extent - if only to teach you that yes, when you lock onto targets, you ''can'' cycle through them. (The game actually doesn't really tell you you can "Break" pieces like in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'')
** Some bosses can be beaten easily by just pummeling them to death and going all out aggro, especially if you [[DiscOneNuke get a good set of weapons early or upgrade a good weapon into an overpowered monstrosity.]] Odin ''punishes'' this kind of behaviour with Zantentsuken. Think he'll just charge at you? Nope - if you're close to him, he'll spin around you and get you with it anyway.
** Gilgamesh and Omega - unlocked after Therion. Sure, Therion was a tough battle, but Therion was presented as the FinalBoss - so of course you expect a challenge. Gilgamesh and Omega, however, true to their nature, will absolutely ''wreck'' you and punish overly-aggressive behaviour, in case Odin hadn't punished you enough already.
