YMMV / The Great Gaias

Go To

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: If Pots chooses to save the Mythos family instead of Laeni at the end of the Archipelago, Virgil says he appreciates the thought and saves Laeni instead as a show of gratitude. On the other hand, this can be seen as Pragmatic Villainy because Laeni would be able to help weaken Maultor, making it easier for Virgil to absorb the Big Bad.
  • Complacent Gaming Syndrome: The game features all kind of gear that can go into the Jewel slot with all kinds of interesting effects and stat boosts. However, enemies use so many powerful status effects that most players go with the Boring, but Practical Charm Bracelet to make the party immune to most status effects.
  • Complete Monster: Malviticus, the God of Darkness, despises the other gods for not giving him the respect he thinks he deserves. When the goddess Auroria descends upon Tenat as an elf, Malviticus summons a demon to possess her and force her to kill the elves she created. After his banishment from the Celestial Realm, Malviticus uses his human avatar, Grindelwald Maultor, to brainwash humanity's immortal leaders into serving him. Malviticus establishes the totalitarian Validian Empire, scapegoats the elves for the wasteland he secretly caused, and wages a genocidal war against the elven nations, both to spite the other gods and to claim an artifact that can rewrite the past in his favor. Regaining his divine form millennia later, Malviticus slaughters as many gods as he can in order to take over Tenat and the Celestial Realm.
  • Game-Breaker: Pots can dual wield swords, which means he can equip both the Quicksword and the Celestium Sword. This allows him to move first in battle, which means he has a consistent shot at killing Hedron enemies.
  • Good Bad Bugs: Like many RPG Maker MV games, this game requires the player to enable Synch Monitor FPS to ensure that the game animations don't run too fast on high-end monitors. However, the battle animations are a bit on the slow side, making it preferable to disable Synch Monitor FPS if one wants to speed up battles.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: The Cortlabar family is aligned with Sovereign, but their ancestor, Eldromus, is a villain who is aligned with Validus. Despite one of the party members, Hiro, being a member of this family, there is never any interaction between him and his evil ancestor.
