YMMV / Absinthia

• Alternate Character Interpretation:
  • Methuselah claims he wants to test the party's purity of heart, though he makes sure to specify that he's referring to the purity of what they intend to do in the future, and not their past. Later, he admits that he was lying about the purity requirement. However, due to the fact that Freya secretly worked with Lilith but is having second thoughts, it's implied that Methuselah secretly knows about Freya's situation and is pushing her to seek redemption.
  • In a flashback, Lilith is angered when she hears of the transphobia that Freya endured. It's ambiguous if she's only acting in order to gain Freya's trust or if she's having a genuine Even Evil Has Standards moment. It's implied to be the latter, since when she spitefully reveals Freya's collusion with her, she doesn't out Freya as trans.
  • Freya has similarities with Helen from the previous game, being a blonde, heavily-armored Lady of War. Due to Lilith's bizarre combination of possessiveness and hate towards Helen, it's possible she started a relationship with Freya because of their similarities.
• Demonic Spiders:
  • The ghosts in Ambervale don't seem too threatening at first, but when they're defeated, they'll automatically use Pain Split on a target, which deals a percentage of the target's HP. This means even if the player fights optimally or is overleveled, they'll inevitably take a ton of damage with little means of stopping it.
  • Similarly, the succubus enemies will drain the party's MP upon their death. Even if the player kills them last, it will still cost them a lot of resources to fill up their MP for the next fight.
