YMMV / Rhapsody of Fire

• Complete Monster:
  • Tales From the Emerald Sword Saga:
    • Akron is a ruthless warlord and champion of the Hell God Kron. Akron begins by destroying the city of Ancelot and capturing its princess Airin. He lures the Warrior of Ice into giving him the famed Emerald Sword by threatening to execute all his prisoners, but has already killed them all. Akron has princess Airin raped to death by his demons in front of the men who love her, before having her beloved Arwald tortured and executed by being thrown into an Acid Pool. Akron's armies run rampant, destroying everything they encounter and slaughtering all they can. After a long campaign, when the Warrior of Ice is captured, Akron has him tortured and then decides to execute him by having him fed to the ravenous water snakes in the swamps.
    • The Queen of Dark Horizons, the ancient bride of Kron, is reawakened by Akron and proceeds to bring down torture, rape and pestilence upon the world. Unleashing hordes of demons and bringing the dead with her, the Queen helps to sweep over the lands with Akron, massacring countless innocents and subjecting others to rape and torture in order to build a kingdom for Kron where all who live submit, die, or both.
  • The Dark Secret Saga:
    • Nekron, the son of Kron, led horrific wars that depopulated entire regions. Knowing his demise was imminent after the betrayal of the dragon Thanor, Nekron tortured Thanor hideously and turned him into stone before leaving ways to restore himself. Upon being returned, Nekron plans to lead demons to enact torture, pain and blood upon all living things until he is the master of everything.
• Moral Event Horizon: Akron has his demons rape Airin to death in front of the men who love her, then Arwald is tortured and executed by being thrown into an acid pool.
• Narm: If you combine the aforementioned strong accent and unique inflection with Luca Turilli's fairly... idiosyncratic grasp of English, this is what you get.
  • The very last segment of Tears of a Dying Angel, with the failed echo...
  "Resist..... sist...... sist....... sist...."
  • In "Gargoyles, Angels of Darkness":
  "Oh no! Oh God! Oh God no! What is happening!"
  • The First Act of The Cold Embrace of Fear has a nice example too.
  "IT'S AN AVALAAAAAAAAAANCHE!"
  • Not to mention this gem from Heroes of the Waterfalls' Kingdom:
  "Fly! Fly, mighty Thanor! For your revenge! AND OUR FREEDOOOOOOOOOOM!
• So Bad, It's Good: The official music videos for "Power of the Dragonflame" and "Rain of a Thousand Flames"
  YouTube comment: It's like someone airbrushed a Dungeons & Dragons manual on the side of a van and then the van had sex with Highlander and the whole thing was rendered in Microsoft Movie Maker. aka FUCKING AWESOME
• Tear Jerker: The Magic of the Wizard's Dream has become a massive one in the wake of Christopher Lee's death.
  Angels are calling
  From divine lost crystal realms
  Riding from heaven
  For the magic of the wizard's dream...
