I think it's weird they designed all sorts of weapons sticking out of Chaugmar and then just never had it use them.

Or maybe it was included in the introductory textbook at military academy and it never occurred to him that Edea had neglected to read it before tossing it into her locker.

Yeah this part where we have to run around trying to find a family for Egil could have really used some finetuning. The backtracking is dumb.

It's so cute they try to make a locked room mystery with a party of dudes capable of blowing up the entire house with the snap of a finger, never mind just the front door.

Final Fantasy 5 still has my favourite implementation of it, where all the curatie and revival spells and items simply don't work because the guy in question had just finished powering through an entire boss fight at 0 hp.

In BD I got so used to fighting Asterisk holders for boss fights that 'normal' bosses like the Behemoth just ended up feeling weird and out of place.

One thing I never quite got was the issue of why 'awakening' the Crystals (aka making them work properly) would somehow prevent people from siphoning magic off them.

Random fun fact: In Japanese Mahzer's name is 'Okae Lee', which is a pun on the Japanese term of 'okaeri' or 'welcome back', to show how she welcomes her daughter even after she knows she's fighting against Eternia.

At least he has kind of an excuse in that he just broke you out of jail by blowing up the door, so you (and he) probably need to get out of there quickly.

Given the firepower he's packing I'm pretty sure he'd be capable of sending off anybody short of immortal archduke dude

So this is where BD's clunkiness of the plot and difficulty in making its story come together starts to really get revealed.

... I bet Alternis must be wondering what the heck's taking us so long.

Plot twist: the 'evil person seducing them to awaken the crystals' is actually Agnes. Or more accurately, the person disguised and claiming to be Agnes after it killed the 'angel' and dropped her off in the past.

Please note that Alternis talks about wanting to take Edea as his bride, etc when Edea literally does not even know what Alternis looks like.
