* HilariousInHindsight: Elgis, a prince of the Chrysalis family, bears an uncanny resemblance in the NES version to another heir to a fantasy kingdom throne -- namely [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Siegbert, if his mother is Peri.]]

* PortingDisaster: Naturally it depends on who you ask but as ''Gemfire/Royal Blood'' has been ported to many, many platforms, which one is the better version and which one sucks is, to this day, a matter of some debate. Certainly some of the PC-based versions -- hideous graphics, clunky controls -- definitely count.

* LesYay: If a player-controlled princess wins the game, she rescues Princess Robyn and rides away from the tower with her in tow, exactly as a male prince would.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: A rather bizarre example, but compare the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AXb7INL6Dc theme that plays during the Winter season]] to...Gordon Lightfoot's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vST6hVRj2A "The Wreck of the Edmund FitzGerald]].

Gweyn is the only one by default, but it's also possible for Keyla or Anise to rescue Robyn.

* ThatOneLevel: Laying siege to Londre, province 22, is always a pain in the ass no matter how strong your army is, because the map gives enormous advantages to the defender in topography and castle design.

* {{Woolseyism}}: See the entry under MeaningfulName on the main page. It's hard to disagree that the names of the wizards and wizardresses being changed from strangely banal (i.e., "Showers") for more evocative and enigmatic ("Pluvius" -- [[BilingualBonus Latin for "rainy"]]) was a better choice for the English version.

** For graphics and music, many prefer the NES version. Of course, [[UnpleasableFanbase just as many prefer the SNES version]] for the same reason.



** The NES sprite for Chylla, with her big hair and long boots, looks rather like Amethyst from WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse -- ''doubly'' hilarious considering Chylla's gem ''is'' an amethyst!
