** "Stroke of Luck" requires the player to make it to the final area of the Phantom Crystal Dimension. You can only access it with a White Key that has a 10% drop rate from Another Dungeon runs. You are then presented with a set of doors to pick from, one of which lets you advance to the next room containing chests with increasingly valuable prizes, while the others will end your journey, forcing you to leave with whatever you've found. The doors are randomized, so it's a LuckBasedMission to get to the end.[[note]]You effectively have a ''0.9% chance'' of succeeding.[[/note]] If you do manage this achievement, though, you are also awarded the Dimension's ultimate prize, which is a ''lot'' of loot and money, including a guaranteed [[RareRandomDrop three Chant Scripts]].

** Anabel is designed as a tank, but her DrawAggro and debuffing attacks are, don't have a 100% infliction rate, and is not very sustainable with her small MP bar. Bertrand functions better in this role due to having a Valor Chant that's guaranteed to inflict Rage on all enemies, performing the tank role better and at little cost. Many are led to view Anabel as one of the worst 5-star characters.

** Suzette's Another Style is the first of its kind, and easily sets the bar for future PowerCreep. Her Elegant Cavort skill is already a decent enough 2-hit wind skill, but it also stacks Spirit Petals to raise her critical rate, and it's a fantastic skill for spamming in Another Force. Once enough have been accumulated, it ties into her Exquisite Blossom that hits up to 4 times based on the stacks. All together, this makes Another Style Suzette incredible at destroying single targets, especially those weak to wind attacks.

* ThatOneBoss: Many bosses at the very least follow a set attack pattern or are [[PoorPredictableRock focused on a particular element]], so with enough scrutiny you'll know what is coming and can prepare your defenses accordingly. The Imbrium Basin, a level 80 BonusBoss found on the Last Island, has a random attack pattern and has a wide variety of skills, making the odd black ball one of the toughest bosses to defeat. Your reward for enduring its attacks and persevering long enough to beat it: An achievement that awards 50 Chronos Stones.
** The Fire Eater you have to fight to recruit Gariyu. No weaknesses, plenty of resistances, regularly summons flunkies, and has hard-hitting fire AOEs. It's advised that you don't even go after it unless you have a 5-star DPS character or Mariel.

** During the Tutorial Encounter, people will encourage you to pick Miyu or Ciel as your first partner. This is because they can be upgraded to five stars a future update, while everyone else is stuck at four. This was even less of an issue in January 2019 and June 2019, as everyone was able to summon Miyu for free, letting you have both strong 4-stars in your roster right off the bat.

Her Elegant Cavort skill is already a decent enough 2-hit wind skill, but it also stacks Spirit Petals to raise her critical rate, and it's a fantastic skill for spamming in Another Force. Once enough have been accumulated, it ties into her Exquisite Blossom that hits up to 4 times based on the stacks.

** With the game's mechanics tending to favour burst parties, Anabel's defensive skill set leaves many ranking her as one of the worst 5-star characters. Not helping matters is that her debuffing skills are expensive and have a chance of failing the debuff, so her relatively small MP bar cannot sustain well in a boss fight.

* GameBreaker: Mariel is considered by many to be the best character in the game, and for good reason. Not only is her healing ability a step above the rest, her high speed means that she can fire them off right at a turn's start, bringing everyone back from the brink before the enemies can do them in. On top of that, she learns Aurora Force, a colossal (though short-lived) magic defense buff which trivializes most party-wide magic attacks. Getting her 5-star version will make your run through the main game much more manageable.

** Upgrading characters to 5-stars is a pain. The main bottleneck is gathering enough Chant Scripts to do so. They only appear in the hardest endgame content, and even then they have a incredibly small chance of actually dropping. Don't expect to promote any characters for a long time through this method. Because of their sheer rarity, many players recommend you save your Chant Scripts for the Chance Encounter characters[[note]]Azami, Gariyu, Cerrine[[/note]], whose final rank can only be unlocked this way.

** "Overcoming the True Form" is earned by beating the FinalBoss of part 1 without defeating any of the prior Prime Elements. This means fighting it while it is regenerating at least 6000 health a turn, without an [[LimitBreak Another Force bar]], while it's passively damaging your party, and while it alternates between absorbing physical and magic attacks, among other things. It's quite the feat to attempt, even with a team at their maximum level.

* ThatOneLevel: From the perspective of the FishingMinigame, the Last Island is one of the last places recommended for the player to fish at. Despite the fishing spot having the highest fishing level requirement, the fish there will ''only'' bite at special bait that require a non-trivial amount of Git to stock, and they offer only a pittance of fishing experience, so it's the worst place to raise your fishing level at. If you're hunting Zwei for their drops in making the Rill Spear, know that the bait for them might reel in a [[BonusBoss Kelpie]] instead, making it very hard to target the Zwei without needing to prepare for the worst.

* ThatOneBoss: Many bosses at the very least follow a set attack pattern, so with enough scrutiny you'll know what is coming and can prepare your defenses accordingly. The Imbrium Basin, a level 80 BonusBoss found on the Last Island, doesn't follow this rule, and has a random attack pattern, making the odd black ball one of the toughest bosses to defeat. Your reward for enduring its attacks and persevering long enough to beat it: An achievement that awards 50 Chronos Stones.

** During the Tutorial Encounter, people will encourage you to pick Miyu or Ciel as your first partner. This is because they can be upgraded to five stars in the near future, while everyone else is stuck at four. This was even less of an issue with the game's global release, as everyone was able to summon Miyu for free, eliminating that decision.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Phantom]] is a mysterious, interdimensional entity seeking the [[OmnicidalManiac complete annihilation of all space and time]]. When the initial Armageddon of the multiverse is thwarted by Professor Chronos, Phantom [[ManipulativeBastard tricks]] young hero [[PlayerCharacter Aldo]] into reverting what Chronos has done, once more kick-starting the end of all time. Phantom collides with Aldo several times throughout the game, always trying to see that his omnicidal goals reach fruition, and, when the Elementals sacrifice themselves to stop Phantom's master plan, Phantom orchestrates the unleashing of Chronos Menas, spurring the monstrous entity into devouring time itself and trying one final time to kill Aldo and solidify the annihilation of life across the cosmos, with Phantom's only motive ever given as a desire to "sit back and enjoy the show".

** Certain pieces of equipment can only be obtained from Horrors that ''rarely'' spawn in Another Dungeon runs. You'll need to be both strong enough to defeat and lucky enough to encounter them, which will not only take several attempts, but may even necessitate several 5-star members if that rare Horror only shows up in Very Hard runs.

** "A Stroke of Luck" requires the player to make it to the final area of the Phantom Crystal Dimension. You can only access it with a White Key that has a 10% drop rate from Another Dungeon runs, and while you're in there, it's a LuckBasedMission to decide which path to take. One wrong turn ends your journey and forces you to leave. If you do manage this achievement, though, you are also awarded the Dimension's ultimate prize, which is a ''lot'' of loot and money.

** There is no way to dismantle, sell, or otherwise discard weapons and armor you own. This especially becomes a hassle once you gather a lot of them and have to sift through a long list to find the equipment you want.

* WakeupCallBoss: The Visus Embryo requires more strategy than previous boss fights, as it'll start using devastatingly powerful attacks once it loses half its health. The boss seems designed to make sure the player understands Another Force, a combat feature that is unlocked shortly before its dungeon.

** If you are lucky enough to draw Mariel, you are recommended to never let the account go. She is considered to be not only one of the best healers, but one of the best characters to have overall. Even in the Japanese version, which is two years in, she's still among the top.
