YMMV / Fantasian

• Awesome Music:
  • "At Wrath's End", sung by Yasuo Sasai, plays for the regular bosses you fight in the Very Definitely Final Dungeon of the game before you reach the Final Boss. The guitar screams when the boss emerges, and a cool heavy metal song plays.
• Complete Monster: Blue is a sadistic intelligence officer in the Falcion Empire. When his underling peacefully negotiates a surrender with a rival nation, Blue gleefully launches an attack to slaughter their citizens, mocking his subordinate's pacifism. Attacking an island to form a stronghold, Blue orders all people found be put to death, and when engaging the hero Tan, carelessly kills his own men in combat, ignoring their pleas as they scream in pain.
• Difficulty Spike: One of the most common complaints about Part 2 is how much more difficult bosses are and how much more grinding it requires.
• Funny Moments:
  • Leo's inmate number when he gets arrested in Vibra is PR-377Y-80Y^note PRETTY BOY.
  • Zinikr and Ez's increasingly incredulous reactions to the insane security measures in the Maxi Toy Box.
    Ez: Why were you so paranoid, Leo? Who hurt you?
  • The beginning of At Vence Harbor is this in spades:
    • Leo's reaction to finding out that Zinikr had entrusted the ship to him in his absence:
    ...He told you what, now?
    • After Leo flips the wrong switch and floods the Uzra, Valrika gives him a sarcasm-laden dressing down:
    You may have let your thoroughly unearned confidence goad you into flipping a switch of wholly unrecognized purpose, on a large ship that is undoubtedly very expensive, putting undue stress on both the crew and the ship's structural integrity, but that's all. Nothing to worry about.
    • Her Breaking Speech actually sends Leo into a mild Played for Laughs Heroic BSoD, and he is reduced to a catatonic state, vowing never to touch a switch again.
  • The cutscene for Prickle's Secret Art, Tempest, involves him grabbing a visibly shaking and afraid Clicker (who is sweating bullets to boot) and hitting the top of his head to get him to shoot lightning out of his eyes.
  • Leo and Tan's dynamic in the Calling All Cat Fish! and Calling All Sea Dogs! quests is quite entertaining. Tan tries to hide his glaringly obvious soft spot for animals while Leo simultaneously trolls the heck out of him for it and reassures Tan that he doesn't need to keep up his "cool guy" act all the time.
• Moral Event Horizon: Jas, who used to care about his brother and friends, gleefully murders his little brother Vam and then resurrects him, with most of his spirit lost to the void, only to maintain and expand the Mechteria infection draining the life force and emotional energy of the Human Realm, all in preparation for destroying the universe and creating it anew with him as its true god; becoming a true god is his longtime obsession. This is in complete disregard for his late friend Yim's love for the world as it is, after whose botched resurrection Jas hid away his heart. Jas' other former friend Taros no longer even recognizes him at this point, as he has changed so much for the worst.
• Tear Jerker:
  • Leo finding out that his father Bernard, who he had spent most of Part 1 looking for, had died in the Chaos Realm after failing to resurrect Disena.
  • The reveal of Tan's backstory with Carmina, culminating in her sacrifice to save him and the island and him swearing revenge.
• Visual Effects of Awesome:
  • The opening cutscene has amazing cinematography, particularly when the camera pans out at the end to reveal a gorgeous shot of the Machine Realm.
  • The cutscenes for everyone's Secret Art are also quite beautiful. Here are a few of them.
