* WhatAnIdiot: Yes, Azura is only fifteen, but ''why'' would she think that breaking into a place guarded by her people's dystopia-esque overlords is a good idea?

** Chapter 25 as a whole is often considered to be the absolute worst chapter of the entire game, to the point where many players dropped the game because of this chapter alone, and for a lot of reasons: just like the battle at the bridge, you must defend Hakurei Castle from the Daemon Army with no means of recovering SP or repair your broken weapons. However, you must divide your party into three teams: one will be in charge of protecting the pagoda's 5th floor while the other two are in charge of not only protecting the east and west sides of the residential zones, but also not letting any enemies reach the pagoda's top floor. To make matters worse, everytime you go down into another zone, you have to decide if you want to save a citizen from monsters or stop the remaining forces from reaching the pagoda. Did you just save someone? Well, congratulations! Now the first team will have to deal with that group! And why this is bad? Because once you're done dealing with the Daemon Army, all three teams are forced to fight Grossa again in [[GoddamnedBoss one of the most unfair and punishing boss fight in the entire game]]. Why? Because every single one of his attacks can ''[[OneHitKill kill you in one hit]]'', and the game wants you to beat him by using Igntion with ''every character''. Did I mention that you can't recover SP or repair your broken weapons?

* ThatOneLevel: The Rainbow Pillar. [[MarathonLevel 7 floors of climbing]], while you're being attacked by GoddamnedBats, with no chance to rest (the Guild Girls will let you save and buy items, but that won't restore your Max HP or SP). Because the entire thing consists of thin ledges and ladders, you're restricted to only one dimension of movement at a time, making it impossible to avoid some enemies. Between each floor is a MiniBoss which are the least annoying part. And if you want OneHundredPercentCompletion, you'll have to climb it again later.

* SlowPacedBeginning: The game's prologue lasts a whopping 20 chapters, which might take around 9 hours to complete. Only afterwards does the game really open up and introduce key mechanics such as building and upgrading guild towers.
