The last thing you see before That One Boss kicks your teeth in.
- Lynx, the primary antagonist throughout the first part of the game, makes it clear from the get-go that he's not to be trifled with. He's a 6'3" human/panther hybrid (making him literal nightmare fuel for Serge) who's not only responsible for burning down the orphanage Kid grew up in, but he successfully pulls a Grand Theft Me on Serge using the Dragon's Tear, and then stabs Kid before she's able to properly catch on. He then proceeds to cause chaos in Serge's body, ensuring that Serge's reputation is ruined, before confronting the party in the ruins of Chronopolis and being assimilated into FATE. And while the revelation that Lynx is actually Serge's father, Wazuki, having been transformed beyond recognition and forced into serving FATE may come too far into the game to matter for some, it still gives his actions toward Serge throughout the game a new level of Fridge Horror.
- FATE, the Omniscient Database is pretty damn creepy - not only the fact that it's an all-knowing supercomputer, but its appearance as well.
- SunOfAGun's face, pictured above. It's a detailed human Nightmare Face on an otherwise cartoony sun that makes exaggeratedly warped and grotesque expressions depending on its attack phase.
- Bunyip, the boss guarding the black crystal pillar of Fort Dragonia, at first glance, looks like a normal creature that seems to have no eyes. Then, after dealing around 400 or so damage to it (or after some time passes during the fight), it then has a HUGE black mass with a single eye as its head erupt from its mouth, showing its true form, with the remains of its previous form acting as its lower body. This, coupled with the drastic background change, can be absolutely soul-chilling for first-timers.
- Cupoids are eerie; they look like tortured and angry and possibly undead child-angels.
- During the scene with the burning orphanage, you can hear the children screaming in fear and pain. In fact, the entire level is this.
- The FMV where the dragons become the "Time Devourer" has the Green Dragon suddenly making this face
◊ and biting the Sky Dragon.- The preceding scene, where the Dragon Gods reveal their true intentions.
Water Dragon: FATE has fallen...FATE has died...Fire Dragon: Finally, the time has come...Green Dragon: Indeed...The long, endless night shall finally come to an end.Earth Dragon: Now...For mankind...Black Dragon: I shall make you bleed!!!Sky Dragon: Feel a million years of this planet's pain and suffering! - There's also this image◊ of Dark Serge, shown for less than a second in the intro.
- A number of the plot revelations late in the game can be quite chilling, particularly the involvement of Lavos, the Big Bad from the previous game, and how despite the efforts of the heroes from Trigger the Day of Lavos will still happen in this game in the Home World. It gets even worse by the very end, when depending on which character you take with you to get dialogue from interacting with the Frozen Flame, we learn the horrifying revelation from the characters' reactions that Lavos isn't just a Non-Malicious Monster, but an actively evil being that is proud of its destruction of Zeal long ago.
