* ScrappyMechanic: Interruptions. While this is usually on your end of the scale, some enemies have automatic counters if you interrupt them, ranging from automatic buffing to attacking to ''healing''. There are ways to get around this, though, such as slowing them so you're less likely to interrupt, or paralyzing them which prevents this from happening.

** The three boss themes, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDPftQZfh58 Metal Gleamed in the Twilight]] (regular bosses), [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIWp5aQTJ1w Serpent Boss]] (Umbra's daughters) and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNt_90Kt4xA Hymn of Light]] (final boss). The OminousLatinChanting makes them sound even more epic.

* GameBreaker: Status effects have a 100% success rate, including Paralyze, which freezes the enemy on the timeline for up to 16 seconds if fully boosted. They work on every enemy, including bosses and the final boss. This make's Gen's Paralyze All skill one of the best in the game.

* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Near the end of the game, Umbra provides Aurora a SadisticChoice to return home to Austria and reunite with her father, who had fallen ill after presuming his daughter to be dead. Aurora, who at the start of the game wanted nothing more than to return home, sees her father on his deathbed and tells him that while she will always love him, she cannot leave the Lemurians to their fate. Her father thanks her for making the right decision before passing away. This causes Aurora's protective crown to shatter and enables Umbra to kill Aurora, proclaiming her victory. Thankfully, Aurora gets better.]]

** Skeletal horses. They have extremely high magic resistance and will counter magic attacks, ''a lot'' of health, hurt a lot, sport a good dodge rate, and can heal or haste allies.

* WakeUpCallBoss: The [[WolfpackBoss snake trio]], near the end of chapter [[spoiler:4]]. The green head is ''extremely'' fast and can easily interrupt or paralyze you, the orange head hits ''both'' characters, and the blue does high single-target damage.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Many of the visual effects combined with the art style can be pretty breathtaking.

** The living boulders. They're pretty fast, can hurt a lot, have high physical resistance, counter physical attacks with an armor boost, and appear in numbers.

* DemonicSpiders: Te reapers, spiders, archers, and pterodactyls are all very fast and have tendencies to interrupt your attacks while buffing themselves. Several are only weak to magic, which makes it hard when only a few of your party members can cast magic at all.
