History YMMV / WildArms2

* MagnificentBastard:
** [[spoiler:Holy jeez Irving I read your ''book!'']]
** Antenora. [[spoiler:Her entire purpose for joining Odessa and getting Vinsfeld to fall in love with her, is to allow herself to be killed by ARMS, so that Vinsfeld would feel the pain of losing someone he loved. This was all Antenora's elaborate secret revenge against Vinsfeld for killing her family years before during the Slayheim War. And it worked flawlessly, devastating Vinsfeld. It's hard to be more of a Magnificant Bitch than that.]]

* CulturalTranslation: The vocals of the opening were replaced with a trumpet solo in the Western release. Luckily, it's ''gloriously'' well done.

* StrangledByTheRedString: Marivel and Tony are randomly paired off near the game's end.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: A few, but absolutely none moreso than the final battle vs. [[spoiler: Lord Blazer]], which is a ThemeMusicPowerUp on an epic scale.

* DemonicSpiders: Hyulkontons. 60,000 HP, at attack which inflicts multiple status ailments to your entire party, and a couple of hefty physical attacks. And guess what: They're level ''one''. Bonus points for being a possible encounter in the first dungeon! A bit of a GuideDangIt, but they're worth the most basic EXP in the game.

* DieForOurShip: Probably the reason why Marina is TheScrappy.

* GameBreaker: Provided you complete a certain sidequest on the second disk, you can locate a hidden vending area called the Black Market. If you can find it, [[spoiler: you can buy as many Heal Berries, Big Berries, and Mini Carrots from it as you can carry.]] It's the only place in the game that allows you to do so.
** Marivel's so-called [[UselessUsefulSpell Useless Useful Spells]] are this, provided you know how they work and [[GuideDangIt where are those spells.]] [[spoiler: Sleep works on [[BonusBoss Ragu O Ragula]] and Canceller works on Angolmois.]]

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler:Holy jeez Irving I read your ''book!'']]
** Don't forget [[spoiler:Antenora.

* TheScrappy: Marina's angst about being "weak" and her constant flip-flopping between wanting Ashley's attention yet not wanting to be a burden for him can make her ''intensely'' dislikeable.

** The game's formidable BonusBoss roster also boasts the Demon King Angolmois, whose 7th Moon attack can full-wipe your party with just one cast (and can be double-cast if he gets the inclination). Then there's series favorite Ragu O'Ragula, who has Angolmois' power and a near-max Speed stat to boot.

* [AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: How some fans interpret Kanon's unwillingness to [[spoiler: finish off Ashley]].

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: A few, but absolutely none moreso than the final battle vs. [[spoiler: Lord Blazer]], which is a ThemeMusicPowerUp on an epic scale.

* BrokenBase: Despite Brad Evans actually being gay, the fandom seems viciously split on ValuesDissonance lines over this SingleIssueWonk.

* InternetBackdraft: We're all open about it on this page, but...don't bring up Brad's sexuality in certain corners of the Internet.

* LGBTFanbase: Brad Evans. Cocytus Ptolomea also has a potent Fan Yay factor.

* NeedsMoreLove: A common plea on WA fansites is for this game to be [[VideoGameRemake remade]] in the vein of the first game's ''Alter Code F''. Hopefully with a translation by XSEED, not [[TheyJustDidntCare Agetec]].

* ThatOnePuzzle: The first puzzle in the final dungeon confounded players for a decent amount of time. Seems not everyone knows how the days of the weeks got their names or figured out that is what the clues are referencing.

** Leprechauns. Not only do they ''prevent you from using your ARMs'', but they're level 44 in an area where you'd be lucky to be level 20. To add insult to injury, they have a Confusion ability that targets all party members at once. Sure hope you spent your FP on Up Hp and Confusion protection or you're in for one heck of a fight.

* FanYay: Brad Evans. Cocytus Ptolomea also has a potent Fan Yay factor.

** In particular, the narrowly-controlled Wild Arms Wiki (at {{Wikia}}) uses Wiki/{{Conservapedia}}-style InsaneTrollLogic and NoTrueScotsman logical fallacies to [[DisproportionateRetribution attack anyone]] who tries to clean up HeteronormativeCrusader language from Brad-related articles. The wiki's administrator brags about banning a [[AcceptableTargets gay editor]] at least once a month, referring to them as {{Troll}}s, and dismisses criticism from groups as people as "[[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dogpile dogpiling]]".

* DieForOurShip - Probably the reason why Marina is TheScrappy.
* FanPreferredCouple - It's pretty much a common knowledge in Japan that Lilika deserves Ashley much more than Marina does.

* StrangledByTheRedString - Marivel and Tony are randomly paired off near the game's end.
* ThatOneBoss - Kanon, especially the latter two times you fight her, where Brad is unavailable and thus you don't really have anyone to soak up damage. Belleclaire, the halfway-point monster of Ptolomea's Diablo Pillar, is also highly capable of stopping games cold with its incredibly powerful attacks.

* CompleteMonster - Judecca is easily the most evil human villain in the game. Lord Blazer also qualifies; he nearly destroyed the world years before, and in the final battle Ashley's the only one standing between Blazer and Armageddon
