* FridgeBrilliance: If there was any doubt that [[spoiler:Gesthal and Median are the same people]], check out their moves: though rearranged, all of [[spoiler:Median]]'s attacks work the same as [[spoiler:Gestahl]]: Hitting the row, column, or the entire party. And their skills are the same, just named differently[[spoiler:; Median's being around his royalty, and Gesthal's being about revenge.]]



* JerkassWoobie: Though she never reveals her past to anyone but Trish, Shauna's past sucked. [[spoiler:Having her home hit with the game's equivalent to ThePlague, villagers breaking in to her home, separated from her family and caretaker, forcing herself to fend for herself at a very young age. Of course, she'd probably kick your ass if you try to give her a hug, unless you're Trish.]]



* TearJerker: Quite a few examples here. One good example would be [[spoiler:Shauna's Death]].

** [[spoiler: Levin's betrayal.]]
* TearJerker: Quite a few examples here. One good example would SuperlativeDubbing: The American dub for Gig is widely considered to be [[spoiler:Shauna's Death]].superior to the Japanese version.
* ThatOneBoss: Shauna can kill Revya without much difficulty due to Revya having a [[TacticalRockPaperScissors terrible matchup against the Gypsy class]].
** Gestahl is all about smashing your entire party ForMassiveDamage. And his tactics are all about smashing your entire party and any others on a line behind them ForMassiveDamage, or turning his [[ForMassiveDamage Massive Damage]] UpToEleven. His decors are all about nerfing your parties so he can hit you ForMassiveDamage even better. It's easy to see why he's very difficult, even when he's entirely alone.

But then he decides having souls flow into his world wasn't enough, so he sends Gig and the World Eaters to kill everything on Heaphness, and just to recap, this guy turn Gig into the AxCrazy nut he is at the start of the game and created Thuris.]]

* FridgeHorror: So, while playing the game, you have heard about Crimson Tears and seen them a bit often. Then at some point, you learn that [[spoiler: by giving up their life, Danette's parents become those [[HeroicSacrifice to save her]]]]. While that is fine by itself, when you add up that to the other stuff that happens... Did [[spoiler:Thuris]] get his many, many Crimson Tears from [[spoiler:his fanatical followers who would gladly give their lives?]] And it's mentioned that it cost a lot to have a Crimson Tear made. And Yesterwind, [[spoiler:sells a lot of children and Orviska is their best buyer. And coincidentally, the real Dio has Crimson Tears as well.]] The more you think about it, the less you wonder why they have such a bad reputation.

* GameBreaker: Gideons.
** [[spoiler:Gestahl in the Demon Path.]]
** Also, Hades' Despair rooms; their Outer Limit decor not only negates the penalty for having low stamina -- one of the game's primary limiting mechanics -- but causes you to ''gain'' a percentage to your stats equal to the percentage of stamina you've lost. Typical decors give you a 20% stat bonus in exchange for a hefty drawback; Hades' Despair gives you a bonus that can approach ''100%'', with additional advantages, letting you easily curbstomp otherwise equal groups. Oh, and it makes it so you die if your stamina ever reaches 0, but that's easy to avoid.

Penn showing that he's more mature than you think when he decides not to live with his dad because he didn't want to ruin his little brother's future and he was happy with the Nereids... Just plain touching.
** [[spoiler:The Levin ending. Either gender is considered one, but female Revya's Levin ending deserves special mention, especially when she sees a pretty flower and Levin tries to say that it's nowhere near as pretty as her, but can't exactly get the words out. Awwwww...]]
