* VagueAge: Gail is likely one of the oldest orphans in the Panselo orphanage alongside her twin Kitt, but she still lives in the orphanage.

He gives you perfume in return, which you give to some soldiers at the First Wall so they can repel bugs, and they let you take one of their stuffed toys. You give the toy to a girl at the Rhodus border and her mother tries to offer you a job, and then gives you a letter of reccommendation when you turn it down. You then give the letter to a girl in Cosette Village who wants to work elsewhere, and she lets you have her Golem dog, which you let two guards use to track down a pair of scammers, who hide at Adar's house and lock the door, requiring you to ask Garnet to open the door again while you play another game of hide and seek with the kids she looks after. When that's done, you get a prop sword, which you return to a customer at the Atai inn, and get his latest novel. The novel goes to a guard at the Last Wall, and he lets you have a claw that a Wrecker managed to break off a Wendigo, which you end up trading to a Harpy in Aurantia in exchange for the second piece of Star Dream Ore. Finally, you bring the ore to the blacksmith in Daea City who has the first piece, and he forges them into the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Night Star]] for you]].

** You're supposed to gain access to the Cosette region after saving Prince Leo and learning the royal family's song from him, which will make the guard at the Cosette checkpoint let you pass. However, if you're dedicated in your Moonstone collecting and turning-in, it's not too hard to unlock the Franway leading to Cosette. If you do this and try to leave backwards through the checkpoint, the guard has special dialogue where he assumes you're a resident of the region and lets you pass freely.

** Unlike other special items such as Heart Rubies, Energy Gems, and Moonstones, Lunar Artifacts will respawn in the same place you found them if you recycle or discard them, so you're not locked out of selling them to Astrid. This is especially useful in the early game when you don't have a lot of inventory space.


Added DiffLines:

* PermanentlyMissableContent: Mostly averted; there are a few sidequests at the beginning of the game that you can miss if you don't complete them before the villagers get abducted, but the rewards are either money or items that you can easily get in other ways. Lunar Artifacts will respawn back where you found them if you discard or recycle them, so you can pick up another to sell to the antique collector (and they'll also respawn if you do that). There are two badges, though, that are intended to be earned on separate playthroughs: "Zero Trial" (finishing the game without picking up any Heart Rubies or Energy Gems, and with the hardest combat settings) and "Speed Runner" (getting to the save point at the Final Rest in under four hours).

* DifficultySpike: Happens in Atai, where there are more dangerous enemies and certain scenarios where you have to pay money to progress (bribing the prison guard and buying wine for the prisoner which requires you to dye your hair), not helped by the fact that it's hard to earn at this point, and some enemies can steal it from you. The three trials you have to do in the Ouroboros hideout are also very difficult, and the place only has one save point that you'll have to keep backtracking to between them. Things get a bit better once you get the Lifesaver, allowing you to cross water safely, and you can easily get more food and money if you save up for a fishing rod.

When that's done, you get a prop sword, which you return to a customer at the Atai inn, and get his latest novel. The novel goes to a guard at the Last Wall, and he lets you have a claw that a Wrecker managed to break from a Wendigo, and you end up trading it to a Harpy in Aurantia in exchange for the second piece of Star Ore. Finally, you bring the ore to the blacksmith in Daea City who has the first piece, and he forges them into the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Night Star]] for you]].

* SidequestSidestory: Some of the sidequests you can do have their own storylines, the most notable one being the "Trading Sequence" which has a part where two people scam money out of you that they claimed would be for repairing a bridge, and you having to help the guards catch them, with an optional scene later on that reveals that one of them is Garnet's brother.

* CookingMechanics: Certain food items can be cooked at fires (which you'll often have to light yourself), and involves a minigame where you must press the right key when the indicator is within a certain area. Unsuccessful attempts at cooking will result in "Food" which ''reduces'' your health, but is useful for a specific sidequest.

* FetchQuest: ''Everywhere''. If you don't have enough of the items people ask you for, expect to do some backtracking in order to gather it. Thankfully most of these are optional, but there is one early on that's required to progress - to gain access to the Sand Drifts, you have to buy a bottle of wine for the imrisoned Ouroboros member, but to do that you need to borrow Lisa's ID and dye your hair brown.



* FishingMinigame: Buying a fishing rod allows you to catch fish in various places throughout the game's world, and successfully catching them involves having to move a pointer to a green area that keeps moving, which is easier depending on how much energy you have. Some fish will give you special items upon being caught, such as Moonstones.

* TemptingFate:
** At the beginning of the game, one of the [=NPCs=] in Panselo talks about [[NothingExcitingEverHappensHere how boring it is there]] and how she'd like there to be more visitors, even aliens. Then she and all the other adults there [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor get abducted by aliens]] soon after.
** One of Thomas' logs has him mention that a specific attack from the Wrecker he repaired can be turned against it by hitting it like a baseball, before saying that it's unlikely to ever happen. Now remember what Gail uses as her main weapon.



** [[spoiler:The ending changes significantly. In addition Bart replacing Billy, the final area goes from a dark and decrepit lab to a brightly lit and still intact research facility. Gail's nature as a Phoenix is revealed by Mother Computer, the AI in charge of the facility, who becomes one of the final bosses. The [[AdvancingBossOfDoom chase sequence with Unit 66]] has been replaced with a rematch against Katash, leader of the Kobolds.
