* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Runersia's [[spoiler:Aurora. The game seems to want to push her as a sympathetic of the Rune God being mad for power and driven by lust, thus paints the Rune God as [[GodIsEvil an evil]] [[JerkassGods jerk]] that makes humanity complacent with Mana that makes them go to war. And in the secret ending of Norzaleo, revealed that the Rune God was ''really'' pissy if someone veered onto his secret and would punish them with agonizing slow death, as what happened with Rubino's father. However, Aurora herself might come off as extremely biased since she's driven solely with the her hatred for the Rune God, constantly babbling that anyone handling Mana is a soulless puppet; whereas the game has shown that there are just as many people that used Mana but are more or less responsible and self-sufficient, aiming for peace instead of war. When she first made her appearance, she instead chose to attack your nation as a showcase of power and warning, but the act doesn't seem like the act of a benevolent, caring figure for Runersia. Meanwhile, the Rune God, aside of the few bad, selfish deeds he did (which prevented him from being UnintentionallySympathetic), was actually fine with humans going their way instead of actively trying to manipulate or enslave them, in some endings when you side with him, he left the world, giving his blessings to the humans that conquered Runersia that they can take care of themselves, and if you side with him, he would occasionally heal you with 'Benevolent Rain' in battle. Thus, siding with Aurora makes it look like you trusted [[UnreliableNarrator a stranger that just said a few words from her own biased mindset]] to [[BrokenPedestal destroy what you have believed so far]], and there were no strong reasons to trust her based on her past encounters with you. ]]

* ThatOneSidequest: Getting the promotion items for secret advanced classes like Lucifer, Lilith, Thor, Loki (and in ''Grand Edition'', Lizard King). You need to quest your Knights late game and be on a specific quest that is really rare (stranded to an island with idol statues) and could end up sandwiched with another kind of quest (dancing with faeries or meeting an old tree, the latter one even had the same music)... and you might not even get the item that your unit is ready to promote from and will have you spend a lot of months questing and questing... ''Runersia'' downplays this with post-game quests allowing you to get some of these items for free by finishing the quests for the first time. But if you want those Ancient Dragon, Lizard Lord, Hydra or Basilisk to face off the nation rulers? Good luck with sending Knights to quests while minding where did you send them to quests and these items are already rare as is.

** ''Legend of Forsena'' edition of Zemeckis. He has a post-movement 4-range Tempest Bow AND Geno Thunder. And either way, he hits like a truck. It is to much of the players' relief that in ''Grand Edition'', [[{{Nerf}} Tempest Bow is no longer post-movement and he lost Geno Thunder]], so all Zemeckis had afterwards are just his impressive stats.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The Priest Knights Corps of Esgares certainly had something going on the background, with pious knights like Fiel and Roecod having their faith manipulated by Paradoll, who's having megalomaniacal ambitions to rule the world. ''Grand Edition'' never expanded upon that subplot, and when Fiel is recruited, he drops all the subplots about the Priest Knight Corps, while Paradoll just vanishes.

** Rudo in ''Runersia'' is basically what happens when Zemeckis and Cador had a FusionDance. He's one level away from maximum level and had no spells at all. But he makes it up with the fact that he hits like multiple trucks and the AI of the game makes it that he has a preference over low DEF unit, to which a normal non-critical attack even to a neutral element to him can deal a fricking 200 normal when not being augmented and up to 400 when being augmented (and the AI loves doing that, especially when there's a Bard nearby)... to even the sturdiest monster. It's not rare to see Rudo suddenly takes an advantage of an opening where your monster just a few levels from being upgraded... and one-shot it to death.

* DemonicSpiders: There are some characters that can end up being seen as TheDreaded as the players, regardless of the in-universe reaction. Basically, when crossing these characters, the players are well-advised to mind their formation, lest they lose a project monster or even the whole battle.

** Cador. This guy is only one level away from maximum level (30), and he hits even harder than Zemeckis and has the highest tier single damage Black spell, Curse. While a group of Angels or White Magic can melt him easier, that's if he didn't roll over them with sheer stats.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Multiplayer Scenario 2 and 3 provides a rather interesting plot development, such as how after Vaynard conquered Leonia, he took Lyonesse as his Empress and by Scenario 3, Kiloph is hunting him down while working as a mercenary to anyone that stood a chance with Norgard. Meanwhile, Lance fell into another HeroicBSOD when Esgares mowed down New Almekia and eliminated many Padstow knights, retreating to Caerleon while only taking Gereint and Adilicia, while the other surviving Padstow Knight, Carlota, who treated Lance like her little brother, ended up in Norgard instead (she usually didn't join any other countries as long as Lance was around), and most naturally, Liguel didn't stick with Lance, moving immediately to Iscalio where Miguel resided. And by Scenario 3, while Lance regained his composure, Carlota still didn't return, quite likely having grown accustomed to Norgard (also, Noie died before the war ended), while Dryst is presented with dilemma of having his troops isolated thanks to Vaynard's strategy. All these plot wouldn't come to foray much because of the multiplayer format so there was very little plot advancement on those points.

* TierInducedScrappy: Players tends to not favor Rune Knights on the second tier classes and yet having below 150 Rune Powers. Which means they do not have MagikarpPower to invest, can't serve as a CrutchCharacter and can't even store many monsters to begin with. Even worse if they have below average stats. Examples of this are Brusom from New Almekia and Victoria from Iscalio, but the worst offender is usually Langueborg from Leonia who combines all of those.
