-->'''Fang''': Are you serious!? Woohoooo! Hot spring eggs are the best!
-->'''Eryn''': Now who's the little kid...?

-->'''Paiga''': Hmhmhm, nobody make a move, or I'll press this button again. Now, you guys just stay where you are while I move to a safer position.
-->'''Tiara''': I don't think so! Cui...!
-->'''Cui''': Cui, cui! (''whooshing sound, flash of light'')
-->'''Paiga''': Whoa, what the--!? O-Oh no, the button...! Wh-When did that creature get behind me!?
-->'''Tiara''': While you were monologuing, I had my fairy sneak behind your back. Your luck ends here!

--->'''Fang''': Hey, so we [[spoiler:defeated the Vile God]] before we came here, right? So what about that thing in the sealing spot?
--->'''Eryn''': It's not the real thing. It's his astral body. As long as he's in that space, he hasn't fully revived. ...I think.
--->'''Fang''': His astral...what?
--->'''Eryn''': Astral body. It's not his physical form, but it can affect his physical form. Like a kind of spiritual body.
--->'''Fang''': Still don't get it...
--->'''Eryn''': Hrmm... What if I just said it was like...his soul?

-->'''Fang''': Man, what kind of idiot gets himself caught and tossed into some creepy camp? Couple of dumbasses...
-->'''Eryn''': I happen to know a certain someone who got himself caught and tossed into jail for stealing bread.
-->'''Fang''': Wow, there's all kinds of morons out there, I guess. I'd love to see what a doofus like that looks like.
-->'''Eryn''': Let's see, I think I had a mirror around here somewhere...

-->'''Fang''': [[spoiler:Then what do I do!? That was a really cool line I just shouted, and it was all for nothing!]]
-->'''Eryn''': Is *that* what you're worried about!?

-->'''Boy''': You're my role model!
-->'''Fang''': ...Your approval fills me with shame for some reason.

* AwesomeButImpractical:
** The ultimate skills, usable only in Fairize mode. They certainly look impressive, but get quickly outclassed in damage by a character's normal special moves and magic. They also take forty percent of a character's maximum health to cast, in addition to having a high SP cost. Since Fairize also boosts a character's damage across the board, it's almost always safer to just stick to using normal special moves after Fairizing.
** Fixed somewhat in Advent Dark Force, where they do more damage than normal special attacks and magic for the entire game. They still fall under this trope though since the health cost and high SP cost mean they're still impractical for anything other than dealing the finishing blow for a fight.

* DifficultySpike: The Evil Goddess route is balanced for NewGamePlus bonuses, as shown by how the very first boss of the route is the Vile God himself. Not only is the player required to win this time, the Vile God has FinalBoss tier stats by the standards of the other routes. Justified because carrying over fairies is required to pull out more than 16 furies in the first timeline. Afterwards, the enemies are balanced for level 60+ parties.

* YouTalkTooMuch: In a sub-event in the [[spoiler:Evil Goddess timeline]] called "Hee-hee, So Fun," shortly after you [[spoiler:gain Marianna as a party member, her fairy, Khalara talks about how he likes going to different places and Fang says that it's too bad her master is a constant bad mood. Khalara replies that Marianna clamps up when she doesn't have business to take care of, causing Marianna to appear and comment "Khalara--you talk too much."]]

* ClothingDamage: Each time you remove a seal from the Goddess, a piece of her armor breaks away with it. She's pretty much naked once you remove all the seals.

An UpdatedRerelease called ''Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force'' was released in Japan for the UsefulNotes/{{Playstation 4}} on October 5, 2015, and later for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch in the Fall of 2018. This update increases the number of battle party members from three to six, features new story scenarios, allows you to recruit two additional characters, improves the battle mechanic and graphics, and provides various other helpful updates. The updated release was also later released on the PC, although the original PC release is still left on sale as well strangely enough. If you're buying the game for the PC for the first time, it is highly recommended that you skip over the original for the updated release.

* TimeyWimeyBall: [[spoiler:Fang and Eryn's jaunt through time causes a "singularity" that somehow changes the events that subsequently occur:]] they find different Furies in the same places, certain characters have changed clothes, and the monsters and party have become stronger. Meanwhile, [[spoiler:Sherman]] is implied to have a limited form of RippleEffectProofMemory that [[spoiler:causes him to retain the mental instability he gained during the first timeline]]. In ''Advent Dark Force'', [[spoiler:who gets the RippleEffectProofMemory goes differently depending on what timeline you're in.]] In fact, the fact that Lola [[spoiler:still remembers the party in the Evil Goddess timeline is the first clue that something is off about her. The only others who recall the original timeline are those were present for the battle with the Vile God, save Tiara, who died, and Lola wasn't there. She claims it's because she's a special type of fairy, but in actuality the Septerion Club caught up with her and forced her to spy on the party. She actually remembers doodum and was briefed on the party by Sherman.]]

Hundreds of years later, a lazy bum called Fang pulls a dormant Fury from a stone after believing (incorrectly) that it will grant him any wish he desires. This act awakens Eryn, the fairy who dwells within the Fury, who immediately ropes Fang into her personal quest of freeing the Goddess from bondage. With the aid of a mysterious girl named Tiara, the pair must collect the Furies scattered around the world until they have enough to undo the seals trapping the Goddess in slumber. Unfortunately, they must compete against a rival group, [[MegaCorp the Dorfa Corporation]] and [[CorruptCorporateExecutive President]] [[BigBad Hanataga]], that aims to use the Furies to unseal the Vile God first.

* BigBad: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive President Hanagata]], the 52-year old leader of [[MegaCorp Dorfa]] who plans to resurrect the Vile God to conquer the world and bring peace. Depending on the route [[spoiler:[[DiscOneFinalBoss however, he’s usurped by a different character]]]]. In the ''Goddess'' Route, [[spoiler:Sherman Shallancer becomes the new leader once [[KlingOnPromotion he offs Hanagata]] and goes off the deep end, deciding to fuse with the Vile God himself [[KnightTemplar to bring peace]]]] In the ''Vile God'' route Hanagata [[spoiler:isn't even the real president, it’s ''[[TheHero Fang]]'', who himself is just a figurehead for [[TheDarkChick Marianna]], [[TheManInFrontOfTheMan one of the Four Heavenly Czars]]]]. In the ''Evil Goddess'' route, [[spoiler:Dorfa has been disbanded and there is a new organization, the Septerion Club, ruled by Jeane/Junown, who wants to revive the titular Evil Goddess]].

* TheBattleDidntCount: Several boss battles feature initial "rounds" before the party is allowed to actually defeat them. [[GuideDangIt The game never tells you which ones]], though you can usually figure it out if your attacks are doing little to no damage and/or the opponent's attacks are far more devastating than they should be. However, given that game-breaking armors are available via DLC, the game also has a mechanic that helpfully cuts you out after several rounds if you have said armor equipped as an AntiFrustrationFeature.

** Eyrn's ending has [[spoiler:Eryn staying with Fang instead of returning to the Goddess, but with the implication that everyone else believes that he is dead due to him disappearing after giving the final blow. Alternatively, you could also interpret it to be the extension of the normal ending, after Fang sees off Tiara.]]

* ForcedTutorial: In true Compile Heart style, the tutorial is impossible to skip.
