History YMMV / Rosenkreuzstilette

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The entire soundtrack of the first game and ''Freudenstachel'', ''PERIOD''. It may not be original music (as most it is [[PublicDomainSoundtrack royalty-free]]), but the developers's choices were quite spot on.

** And then we have more themes added for ''Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel'' that sound EVEN MORE AWESOME.

** [[spoiler:Poor Zeppelin himself just can't catch a break, as he seems to be [[AbusiveOffspring his own biological daughter's favorite punching bag]]. First, he is manipulated by Iris into launching a coup against the Empire to try to protect her, with him not knowing that she made him do it for her own amusement. Then, when Spiritia has him at her mercy, Iris kills him out of nowhere in cold blood, deeming him as "[[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness such a useless old man]]". Finally, in ''Freudenstachel'', Iris brings Zeppelin's corpse back from the dead and brainwashes him to her liking to the point that he's forced to see her as the only absolute, led to believe that Tia destroyed his old body, and made [[OmnicidalManiac hellbent on destroying and remaking the whole world]] into a Magus paradise worthy of the blessings of God.]]

** [[spoiler:Pamela goes through a lot of hell herself as well that makes you wanna feel sorry for her. In ''Freudenstachel'', she's betrayed by Eifer and learns to her shock and despair that the Pope she wanted desperately to protect has been assassinated before losing consciousness. And even that's nothing compared to what she goes through in ''Weißsilber'', where she learns to her shock and disbelief that she was labeled as a heretic, excommunicated, and banished for her decision to pursue RKS and kick their asses herself. Even when keeping up her haughtiness, she starts questioning where she went wrong, learns that there's more to her former colleagues than meets the eye, and eventually learns that the Pope she wants her audience with has been dead for some time and replaced with a homunculus impersonating him, and realizes that everything she believed in up to that point was all a lie the moment Eifer and Iris revealed the whole truth.]]

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForLittleGirls: It may have blood, war, some profanity, and a despicable villain, but once you look past all that and some internet images placed under RuleThirtyFour, you might find it okay for little girls thanks to the cheery colors, cute {{Moe}} girls and violence placed on the same level as that of it’s inspiration, VideoGame/MegaMan.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Poor Zeppelin himself just can't catch a break, as he seems to be [[AbusiveOffspring his own biological daughter's favorite punching bag]]. First, he is manipulated by Iris into launching a coup against the Empire to try to protect her, not knowing that she made him do it for her own amusement.

** Spiritia. Think about it for a second. You see a girl you held dear being taken away from you and you try to save her, then you find out all of your friends are in a rebellion and you are forced to fight against all of them, unable to convince them out of it without fighting, and in the end, you find out [[spoiler:the girl you were trying to save is actually a CompleteMonster of the highest order who set the events into motion only ForTheEvulz, you're forced to fight against her, and a while after that, you end up mind-controlled by said girl, forced to fight your best friend]]. Wow.

* TheWoobie: Zorne, being a ButtMonkey and all that, really must have a tough life. She's desperately trying to get [[BigBad Graf Zeppelin]] to accept her as his real daughter, and [[spoiler:[[ManBehindTheMan Iris]] decides to make her suffer by killing him for [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness having outlived his usefulness to her plans]]]]. And to be fair, she's quite a moody young girl, too.

* BreatherBoss: Surprisingly, [[spoiler:Graf Michael Zeppelin]], the boss of the first fortress stage in ''Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel'' is nowhere near as hard as [[ThatOneLevel the stage it appears in]]. Although it isn't an actual weakness ''per se'', the Frostklinge, obtained from Dolis, is very useful against it, able to damage it without the need for standing on the platforms on the sides, and its attacks are very easy to avoid when you learn how. And if you use its ''[[WeaksauceWeakness actual]]'' [[OneHitKill weakness]]...
