* BrutalBonusLevel: In ''Echoed Memories'', the Creator's Ruins is a dungeon that starts out on par with the Castle of Myth, but the party gets debuffed more the further they go. However, it's possible to bypass this mechanic entirely by meeting the conditions for the Manster-Stay-Gone Ring, which prevents all random encounters.

* {{Nerf}}:
** In ''Echoed Melodies'', Zephyr had a ridiculously high magic defense growth that allowed him to tank most magic attacks. In ''Echoed Memories'', his magic defense is more in line with the rest of the party, though he gained some useful debuff skills to compensate.
** In ''Echoed Melodies'', Doken had a very cheap and spammable skill, [=SuperOmniDeathStrike=], that could trivialize most encounters. In ''Echoed Memories'', [=SuperOmniDeathStrike=] now costs a full TP bar, making it less spammable. Doken eventually learns Omnislash, the best physical AOE in the game, but it's still not as powerful or cheap as the original [=SuperOmniDeathStrike=].

* StylisticSuck: In ''Echoed Memories'', Misu's recap play of the first game is very inaccurate and exaggerates many of the characters' mannerisms. The actors themselves aren't particularly motivated to stay true to the characters, except for the one playing Agares, and even he has a few ad libs in response to his colleagues' ad libs.
