History YMMV / JojosBizarreAdventureThe7thStandUser

* MoralEventHorizon:
** J. Geil crosses it when he [[spoiler: seemingly]] kills Abdul/the protagonist, and then reveals he crossed it years ago when he raped and killed Polnareff's sister. And then there's the scene with the beggars...
** Vins somehow manages to cross it several times. She does it once when she kills DJ Inc and Raul, leaving [[BrokenBird Alice]] without anyone to care for her. She does it again when she [[spoiler:kills Berlin and Alicia in the first Everybody Lives ending]]. She does it a third time by [[spoiler: killing the protagonist in advance in Josuke's playthrough, which leads Alicia, Berlin and Steel to use the corpse, their powers and a disc containing Crazy Diamond to make a clone of Josuke]] and a fourth time in [[spoiler: Josuke's playthrough, where if you get the bad ending by reading Path to Heaven, she'll lure him away to where she has Alicia and Berlin held captive then ''eaten alive'' by her zombies, gloating about how he's just made up of the dead Seventh Stand User, copied memories and soul and not even an actual person as he unravels from existence in despair.]]
** The Protagonist can cross this just by [[spoiler: siding with DIO. Then they cross it again each time they kill one of their allies or make one of them join DIO as well.]]

* ScrappyMechanic: Despite the game allowing up to 4 Crusaders to partake in a fight at once, when walking around, you're only allowed to bring one other party member with you at a time. This makes leveling up your party members far more tedious than it would otherwise be, as with the exception of a few story events, only one of them at a time will be getting EXP.

* PortingDiaster: While the Plicy version of the game can be played online, it has some drawbacks (which to be fair, also plagues other RPG Maker 2000 games ported over there): You can't change the MIDI soundfont, and while the Plicy soundfont sounds cool, is a bit disappointing considering you can change the soundfont in the downloaded version, you cannot autobattle at all (though AI-controlled teammates compensate by being able to be controlled in this version), if any song has their tempo heightened or lowered, expect some disruptions with the music, and sometimes the sounds and graphics may not work correctly.

* ThatOneSidequest: Obtaining St. George Sword, which involves [[spoiler:meeting Utah at Edfu before day 22 and staying at a hotel with a party member in a specific order until a cutscene about the sword, which has a random chance of triggering, occurs for each one respectively. And after that, you have to face a BonusBoss in the Sanctuary with high health regeneration to get an item that also has a random chance of dropping.]]

* CrossesTheLineTwice: In Karachi, [[spoiler:you can head into Joey Operetta's secret basement, where you find, of all things, a hidden stash of dolls that resemble the female protagonist. While this normally results in the members of the Joestar group reacting to it with mixed results, one particular reaction from Polnareff veers it straight to black comedy territory when a fat female protagonist destroys the replica doll, in which he tells her that she shouldn't be worried about it, since he's used to seeing ''Sherry'' naked all the time. And keep in mind, the Sherry dirt clone Cameo created was without her clothes unlike the Avdol dirt clone, implying she died without her clothes on by J. Geil. While this wouldn't be normally funny, the fact that [[BigBrotherInstict Polnareff]] casually mentions this in front of the protagonist really puts it into black comedy territory.]]

* NightmareFuel:
** The scene where Vins is revealed to be [[spoiler: a vampire by killing DJ Inc and Raul.]]
** The Arabian Mansion. Not only are you chased by an indestructible boulder that will kill you if you so much as touch it, but the mansion's owner (who was unsympathetic ''before'' he gained his Stand) discovered he had a Stand and went utterly insane, plotting to have a party at his mansion involving killing the people he'd invited. [[spoiler: And Vins was behind that too]].
** Sanctuary. There's no music, and the place is full of the ghosts of the dead.
*** ZZ's ghost mentions that no one helped him because they thought he was really training, causing his death.
** [[spoiler: The hidden area known as the Dream World, accessible after dying to Vins in the final battle after a 3rd playthrough, seems normal enough, but slowly becomes something out of a Creepypasta, complete with a reference to an infamous urban legend about the original Shin Megami Tensei.]]
** The credits for the Dark Side Ending. [[spoiler: The music stops right after the battle and never comes back, the silence only broken when the credits show up... By the sound of babies crying, men and women screaming, the 7th Stand User's evil laughter and the blowing wind of a wasteland presumably created by the 7th Stand User himself in his rule over the world.]] Which then leads to...
*** [[spoiler: The "Mad World" eyes, a pair of realistic eyes that show up at the end of the credits roll, and at the Dream World should you come face to face with the shadowy figure during the "TURN IT OFF" sequence. While it may seem as a cheap scare at first, it gains a ''completely'' different meaning in the context of this ending: These are the eyes that intimidated ''DIO'', the ones he recognized to be much like his own, much like the ones that scared Kakyoin, Avdol and Polnareff frozen... Or, in DIO's words, ''the eyes of someone born purely evil.'']]
** The whole premise of the Stand Adam Ant - a giant horde of insects, noted to be difficult to control, that attacks by swarming onto an enemy and slowly eating away at their body. If the user isn't careful, it could end up turning on their friends.
* OlderThanTheyThink: The Stand 'Miracles' is named after R&B group The Miracles, not the Insane Clown Posse song.

* CompleteMonster: [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureDIO DIO]] proves to be just as vile as his canon counterpart. After murdering and stealing the body of his adoptive brother Jonathan, [[OurVampiresAreDifferent DIO]] murders and drains the blood of countless innocents to heal himself. DIO commits several of the same crimes as he did in canon, including hiring Grey Fly to bring down a passenger plane, having his loyal right-hand woman murdered to ensure his powers remain secret, and forcing Senator Philips to drive through pedestrians to catch up to the heroes [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness before killing him]]. Additionally, DIO may potentially hire Joey Operetta to kidnap the family of the PlayerCharacter, or send Oingo and Boingo to set off explosives in the hospital Kakyoin is resting in. In the Betrayal Ending, if the protagonist has enough [[RelationshipValues friendship points with Kakyoin and Polnareff]], DIO and the protagonist will manipulate them into betraying and killing the Joestars.

* CompleteMonster: [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureDIO DIO]] proves to be just as vile as his canon counterpart. After murdering and stealing the body of his adoptive brother Jonathan, DIO murders and drains the blood of countless innocents to heal himself. When DIO senses the presence of the Joestars, he infects Kakyoin and Polnareff with flesh buds to mind control them into being his minions, knowing that these flesh buds will eventually kill them. When the heroes attempt to take a plane to Egypt, DIO has Grey Fly bring down the passenger plane they're on. It's also revealed that he had another one of his men stationed in Japan to destroy any plane the heroes would return in even if they abandon their quest. When his loyal right-hand woman Enya Geil is captured by the party, he hires Steely Dan to [[BadBoss murder her]] to ensure that [[HeKnowsTooMuch she doesn't divulge his powers]]. If the PlayerCharacter decides to watch over Kakyoin in the hospital after he gets injured by N'Doul, DIO will send Oingo and Boingo to set off explosives in the hospital. When pursuing the heroes, DIO abducts Senator Phillips, forces him to drive at lethal speeds through pedestrians, and then [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kills him when he's caught up with the heroes]]. In the Betrayal Ending, if the protagonist has enough [[RelationshipValues friendship points with Kakyoin and Polnareff]], DIO and the protagonist will manipulate them into betraying and killing the Joestars.

** [[spoiler: On the Mad World Ending route, you've gone above and beyond in pissing DIO off and it shows! Not only are you taking him on alone, but he can attack twice as well as the World attacking once, and he hits like a truck. Add on the fact that he has his TimeMaster powers AND that this route is the only route where DIO and the World's HP is straight up at 9999. Hell, he even uses a special skill called "Playtime is Over" if you're wearing the [[GameBreaker Deus Ex Machina equipment]] which also maxes out his stats immediately! So if you wish to complete this route, you'd better be prepared to have your stats maxed or near maxed, get at least 30 UV Flash Grenades to weaken him, abd have Keep Your Distance as your tactic, because DIO is not giving you any mercy, even at near-death.]]

** The ultimate player punch has to be the Sacrifice Ending. [[spoiler: It's when, after being called up by Berlin and Alicia, you decide to go after the rest of DIO's minions, the man himself and finally Vins. Sadly, due to your character doing this all alone, they succumb to their wounds and jump off the bridge they were on in hopes that DIO's Diary would be lost with them. Sadly, when the party wakes up and recieves the news, each one of them is 'devestated' or try to come up with an explanation of how it's not your body that was found. The two worst things that fully punch you in the guts on this is the two factors that A: You need 50 total FP with the party (as in each one of them needs enough time to like you and do a combo attack with you, and B: [[SenselessSacrifice Your actions are completely for naught because they get the book anyways, which is what Steel, Berlin and Alicia were trying to prevent]].]]

** At the endgame's Developer's Room, [[spoiler: you're able to meet and talk to Caesar from Battle Tendency, who at first hints at his presence in the game but then brings up the subject of his siblings and talks about one of them having travelled to Japan and established a family there, commenting on the entwined fate of the Joestars and Zeppelis in fighting vampires together.]] [[{{Fanon}} This is a hinting nod to a popular fan theory that]] [[spoiler:Kakyoin is a descendant from the Zeppelis, given [[TheLancer his role]] and [[HeroicSacrifice ultimate fate]] in the story.]]

* TearJerker:
** Should the protagonist accompany Polnareff to chase down J. Geil, they will be the one who gets shot by Hol Horse instead of Avdol. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Hol Horse is horrified by this if the protagonist is female and breaks down into tears seeing that they're still alive.]]
*** Polnareff will be devastated regardless of whoever gets shot, but a female protagonist taking the bullet can be even more of a tearjerker when you think about it. Polnareff's motivation for traveling with the Crusaders is to avenge his sister Sherry's death, and if the protagonist's friendship with Polnareff is high enough, he'll call them by their nickname (if they have one). So if the protagonist is a female with a high friendship with Polnareff, it can easy to imagine that seeing her get shot made Polnareff relive the day that he lost his sister, except now he gets to witness her death first hand. Granted, the protagonist survives, but Polnareff doesn't learn this until the fight with Judgement, where he's tormented by constructs of the two women he cared for yet couldn’t protect.
** Sadly, Avdol, Iggy, and Kakyoin's deaths are still set to stone. Even if you go on one of the character's ending routes, the other two cannot be saved.
** The Sacrifice ending. [[spoiler:Seeing your companions being heartbroken and in denial about the protagonist's death is hard to read through]].
** [[spoiler:Alicia, Berlin, and Steel returning to their original timelines and saying goodbye to the protagonist after Vins is defeated.]]
** Both of Josuke's endings.

*** [[spoiler: Luckily, the Chaos Mode allows you to pull a BigDamnHeroes and save him.]]

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** Any ending focused on a crusader that originally died in the story. Bonus points if said crusader is your favorite.
** While we're at it, Kakyoin's ending, particularly this line:
-->'''Kakyoin:''' "I can't wait to tell mother and father... [[spoiler:that I made friends]]."
** The ShipTease between the Female Protagonist and some of the companions can be quite adorable.
** If the protagonist has the sickly trait and collapses while having one of the crusaders in the party, he will carry you back to the hotel room, stay by your side until you wake up, and allow you to rest for the day.
** The Succession Ending, [[spoiler:everyone lives and returns to their normal lives after the ordeal is over. After the credits, the game shows the crusaders, plus the protagonist, in a group photo; which becomes the protagonist's computer wallpaper in the next playthrough]].
*** The full name of this ending also qualifies as such a moment on its own:
--> '''-SUCCESSION END-'''
--> '''"Ode To Humanity"'''

** The player can try to fight Hol Horse and J. Geil himself, only to [[DisneyDeath seemingly]] die. While the player (and everyone else) knows he/she'll be all right, Polnareff doesn't know this, and his anguish is actually pretty sad. Not helping matters is Kakyoin begging the player to wake up.

* ThatOneSidequest: Obtaining St. George Sword, which involves [[spoiler:meeting Utah at Edfu before day 22 and staying at a hotel with a party member in a specific order until a cutscene about the sword, which has a random chance of triggering, occurs for each one respectively. And after that, you have to go through a maze full of rolling stones that will kill you in one hit and face a BonusBoss to get an item that also has a random chance of dropping.]]

** The whole premise of the Stand Adam Ant - a giant horde of insects, noted to be difficult to control, that attacks by swarming onto an enemy and slowly eating away at their body.

*** Bonus points if the player's a girl and leveled up Polnareff's friendship beforehand. Even ''Hol Horse'' is distraught [[EvenEvilHasStandards (because he makes it a point to be nice to women)]].
