History YMMV / WildArms2

* WhatMeasureIsANonBadass: Marina gets backlash from fans due to her angst about being "weak" and her constant flip-flopping between wanting Ashley's attention yet not wanting to be a burden for him.

* CompleteMonster: [[PsychoForHire Judecca Ducet]] is the {{sadist}}ic assassin and marksman of the terrorist group Odessa. A mercenary recruited by [[WellIntentionedExtremist Vinsfeld Rhadamanthus]] as a member of Cocytus, Judecca is tasked with the dirtiest deeds of the group, using methods [[EvenEvilHasStandards even his comrades found despicable]]. Taking the town of Halmetz, Judecca has the town's populace imprisoned to torture for fun, uses them to capture ARMS, crucifies Lilka and Brad and brutally beats Ashley, before attempting to bomb their main base. After his first defeat, Judecca blows up Holst and [[FrameUp frames ARMS for it]], uncaring of any civilian deaths. When finally defeated in his Diablo Pillar, Judecca shows no remorse for monstrous actions, cackling that his only regret was he couldn't see the end of the world.

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler:[[WellIntentionedExtremist Commander Irving Valeria]] leader of ARMS is [[HeroicLineage a descendant of the Sword Mage's bloodline]] who wanted to be a hero. However, when he was unable to pull the legendary Argetlahm to stop the encroaching [[EldritchAbomination Kuiper Belt]] from consuming the world, Irving decided to rely on his intellect to save all of Filgalia. Funding the terrorist organization Odessa, he has them try to TakeOverTheWorld, while creating ARMS as a special team formed to oppose them in hopes that the victor will forcefully unite the world regardless of who wins. With Odessa's defeat, Irving used his newfound authority to stop the emerging Kuiper Belt, as the world leader to execute his well-prepared plan to stop it. When the plan fails, Irving moves to his final contingency: [[HeroicSacrifice he and his sister sacrificing themselves]] to make the Kuiper Belt have a physical form so it can be killed, explaining the truth to Ashley in his final moments with his only regret being not there in the world's happy future. A man who wants to save the world no matter what, Irving is willing to do any to fulfill his family's bloodline.]]

* FanPreferredCouple: It's pretty much a common knowledge in Japan that Lilika deserves Ashley much more than Marina does.

* CriticalResearchFailure: The term "Kuiper Belt" in this game refers to [[spoiler:an EldritchAbomination that's best described as a sentient and evil parallel universe]]. In real life, the Kuiper belt is simply a ring of debris which surrounds the solar system.
