** This really bears further elaboration. Imagine having one's face stolen by the Dark Lord, and now imagine that the heroes going around are freeing faces by defeating monsters. Some monsters only have a part of a face instead of the full thing since that seems exclusive to bosses; any of the monsters beaten could only have just a portion of someone's face while another portion of that person's face is stuck on another monster in who knows where. While the affected victim gets part of their face back, imagine how much longer they have to wait until the rest of their face comes back to them—preferably before they end up with the same fate as [[spoiler:the original faceless Mii who eventually faded away and became the dark curse because of not having his face]].

** Matter of fact, ''the hero'' [[FridgeHorror would've become the next Dark Lord]] if it hadn't been for the Great Sage butting in; their scream of genuine horror even shows they're too frightened to face such a fate.

* The faceless Miis can be considered a case of FridgeHorror and UncannyValley, as just imagine having your face taken off, used as a resource for ruthless monsters! ...Not only that, but the faceless Miis can't talk at all. Seeing these faceless Miis can just feel off.

* While the premise may come across as silly at first, it can be incredibly chilling to see the BigBad steal the faces right off of Miis.
--> '''Dark Lord''': Listen up, you faceless freaks! Get used to a life of wordless terror, because that's what you're stuck with!

* That's not even getting into the areas that have been affected by the Dark Lord. The sky gets dark and has an unnerving wave effect in it while off kilter music that sounds like moaning plays giving a disturbed feeling.
* If a Mii gets eaten, its turn will (obviously) be skipped as it yells for help. One such line is "I'm melting..." They really aren't, but it's still a gruesome comment.
** However, this becomes NightmareRetardant when you realize that only one particular personality speaks this line: Cool. Considering their show-offy nature, the Cool Mii is just trying to be dramatic.
* The Demon Spider enemy class definitely lives up to their name, looking freaky and moving in an unnerving way. The boss version,"Arachno-Middle Fab Fairy" is even worse; it can coat your party in tiny spiders! [[BlatantLies Arachnophobes, enjoy!]]
* Using Hyper sprinkles causes your Mii(s) to sport [[SlasherSmile Slasher Smiles]] as the music suddenly speeds up. You also can't control your protagonist if they're affected, and their attacks are accompanied by eerie giggling.
