* PolishedPort: The modern PC versions you can play on Steam may look like a game from 2004, but they have a wide amount of graphical support for various resolutions, including ultra-widescreen or abnormal sizes like the 16:10 Steam Deck, and run ''very'' well on basically any hardware. Extra graphical effects, such as dynamic shadows from nearby light sources, are also added on compared to the original releases. Combine this with the [[GameMod modding community]], and extra features from the [[UpdatedRerelease Evolution ports]] on the UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita, such as new artwork and music, as well as full Japanese voice acting for all cutscene dialog, can be added in with little to no fuss whatsoever. All of this plus a [[AntiFrustrationFeatures speed-up button]] if exploration or grinding are taking way too long.

Removing non-YMMV tropees and indentation


* DevelopmentHell: To counter ''development heaven'' mentioned above: as mentioned under ''Troubled Production'', the localization team was not prepared for what awaited them when they took on SC. The project suffered multiple schedule slips and was stuck in development hell for a few years, before all the hard work put in by XSEED finally freed the game. The chest with the message from the localizers pleading for help? It was put there as a memorial to remind everyone how difficult it was to actually localize the game!



* DiscOneNuke:
** [[BlowYouAway Aerial]] is at least a downplayed version. It's the first multi-target attack spell you get, it's cheap to cast, and the center point of its area of effect can be set to any square, not just where an enemy is. White Gehenna is similar, but it's NonElemental, costs 1.5x as much to cast, and has a chance of [[StatusInflictionAttack inflicting]] Faint, though it's not available as early. Hell Gate on the other hand is only somewhat weaker and locks on to an enemy automatically, it's also cheap to cast and is very easy to install on every party member.
** In ''The 3rd'', Slime Lumps are an interesting take on the MetalSlime trope. They don't give much exp, but they drop a lot of Sepith, especially of the [[OneStatToRuleThemAll valuable Time element]]. The ''real'' nuke though, is that they drop random attack food, which includes Bloody Meatballs, a recipe that's viable for damage even ''late-game''. In Chapter 1 or 2, this attack food will out-damage [[LimitBreak S-Crafts]], sometimes many times over, and trivialize early bosses.
* EpilepticTrees: One's worthy of noting outside the WMG page, with the speculation that this game may take place in the future of the world ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' is set in. Of course, this crops up with other Falcom games and is usually scoffed at... but then ''Alternative Saga'' came out and the shaking trees '''caught fire'''. The WordOfGod hasn't explicitly clamped down on this or confirmed it... yet. Another popular option is that it takes place in the far, far future of the same world as the Gagharv trilogy.

* BizarroEpisode: In ''The 3rd'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPIaQQr30JE Moon Door 5]] qualifies. Unlike the other Moon Doors, it doesn't star a major character, instead focusing on Mary, one of Matron Theresa's orphans, as she looks for a birthday present for Theresa. Things take a turn for the strange when she [[spoiler:gets lost looking for her friend Polly and ends up befriending a baby dragon who gives her a wish-granting stone. Then it turns out to have been AllJustADream... [[OrWasItADream or not]], considering the dragon knew about the Glorious and Aureole, which Mary ''definitely'' doesn't know about]]. It's given an easily missed ContinuityNod in ''Zero'' and ''Cold Steel II'', and ''Reverie'' has a Daydream that features the titular object in a significantly less bizarre context, but even 16 years later we still don't know what significance it has to the series as a whole. [[https://www.esterior.net/2019/07/anime-expo-2019-an-interview-with-toshihiro-kondo/ When asked by fans about the significance of the door in a 2019 interview]], the director of the series, Toshihiro Kondo, [[MindScrew said that the door is related to the mystery of Ouroboros and Zemuria as a whole]], further deepening the mystery and just how bizarre the door is.
