* When fighting the FinalBoss, about halfway through the music suddenly changes from "Sacrifice part two" to "Sacrifice part three" - way more victorious and upbeat sounding. While the Archdemon has a form change to denote this, Dark Lich and Monodoragon don't - meaning by this point? You know you're ''winning''.
** It's even more epic in the original version - since you can't see how much health the enemies have. And, against Dark Lich and Monodoragon, the game even ''pauses''. Many emulators thought the game was freezing up for a moment - only for the game to suddenly play much more upbeat and victorious music.
