3	* For most of the game, Dail is a bombastic KnightTemplar who hounds the heroes as they get in his way. Except in the intro, where it's shown why he's this way. Brevon layed seige to Shuigang Palace and beheaded the king. [[ForcedToWatch Right in front of Dail]]. Dail is rightly horrified and in tears as his life and family is torn apart before his eyes. Then Brevon [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashes him into his puppet]], and all we hear is a scream. For the entire game, Dail helps with Brevon's dirty work in the name of avenging his father, and doesn't realize he's working for his killer. And there was nothing he could do to stop it.
4	* Carol snaps at Lilac after being asked to help rescue Torque again and goes her own way for a bit, the exchange frightening Milla. This comes back to bite her later when she sees how badly injured Lilac was after Brevon tortured her, resulting in a very tearful apology at their reunion.
5	* The point where Lilac is arrested by Neera after her torture, where she's in a flat-out ''[[FreakOut panic attack]]'' of a HeroicBSOD out of fear that they'd only make things worse given their adversity. It's one of the few times her GenkiGirl mindset completely gives way.
6	* Milla's a sweet child. This makes both Carol and Lilac's reactions near the end of the game when Brevon turns her into a monster and forces them to fight and [[KillTheCutie seemingly be killed by them]] much more painful. For extra points, Lilac's body language and voice-acting really underlines her heart breaking at that very moment, and it is only amplified by her ''furious'' screams as she [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown delivers multiple Dragon Boosts right into Brevon's gut]] when she defeats him. The fact that [[AndIMustScream Milla was aware of what she was doing the whole time]] and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone apologizes tearfully later]] only makes it more bitter; thankfully, Carol and Lilac immediately forgive her, as it wasn't her fault. The tears Carol visibly sheds after ''that'' boss battle when you play as her may lead you to shedding tears of your own with her, too.
7	* Milla mentions to her CompanionCube Mr. Stumpy that she wants to make a feather potion so she can fly high enough to find her parents. Later she makes a wish on the deck of Zao's ship to find them, which implies that she's too innocent to understand that they're more than likely dead. As for her aforementioned CompanionCube, she merely gives a halfhearted giggle that he's so quiet around her, making it ambiguous if her time alone has driven her to make up imaginary friends to talk to in order to stave off being alone in the forest for years.
8	* When Carol and Lilac are excitedly thinking of how fun it would be to go on an adventure in space, Torque wistfully notes he once thought the same thing. But says he wasn't prepared for the sacrifices he'd later have to make, likely referring to his old crew. When giving the girls exposition about Lord Brevon, he mentions that he'd sworn on his captain's dying breath that he'd stop him or destroy the Kingdom Stone. He's normally quite stoic, but this gets to a breaking point before the Final Dreadnought as he first insists on going in alone. When the girls protest that they'll do it together, he suddenly shouts, "I can't lose another crew!". [[IronWoobie This guy needs a hug.]]
9	* In short, all of the GameOver sequences. After [[PlayerDeathIsDramatic the player character collapses with a pained scream]], it cuts to the Continue screen; which slowly counts down with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHPtmDdgVeU depressing music]] as your character is seen in a darkened room. Continue, and they'll get back up and vow to keep going. If you ''don't'', they fall unconscious as the view fades to black. How they react as well before it happens can be a real PlayerPunch:
10	** Lilac kneels on the floor with a hurt expression, injured and willing herself to carry on.
11	** Carol can be seen on her knees and crying as she looks up sadly.
