Line 14:
* [[Combination Attack]]: One of this game's ferocious selling points involving combat. After Meruru uses an attack item, her companions can follow-up with attacks, followed by her unleashing the thrown item's hidden power, THEN followed by one played straight combination attack, before channeling the thrown item's REAL hidden power, maxing such items' use up to three
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: Instead of a straight out game over, this game repeats the previous' defeat penalty by whisking the player back to starting point with a lot of days passed by. The further away the party is away from home, the more the penalty. Should that be the case, players often would just do one thing: load the game
* [[Downloadable Content]]: Rufus, [[Spell My Name With an "S"|Fwana/Hanna]] and [[Cute Ghost Girl|Pamela]] are downloadable as party members for a price each. A post-game [[Bonus Dungeon]] can be downloaded for free, while a set of remixed BGM ([[Beyond the Impossible|from nearly]] ''[[Beyond the Impossible|every previous game in the franchise]]'') can be downloaded and set to play during certain events in place of the standard OST, for a price.
* [[Every Thing Is Better With Princesses]]: Oh, everything will certainly get better with Meruru's newfound life goal of alchemy. {{spoiler|Should everything get to the point of 'Best', the people will erect a statue of HER in honor}}
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Lias Falken fits this trope for the main reason of [[Shout Out|shouting out]] [[Super Robot Wars]] Kyosuke Nanbu, as his weapon of choice is a gauntlet-equipped revolver stake. Keina Swaya uses a basket carrying sleeping drugs and healing potions, though that fits into [[Improvised Weapon]]
Line 25:
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Meruru's charm and main point of being. Instead of going by her father's aim of letting the nation get peacefully absorbed into Arland's border, Meruru later wants to use alchemy to bolster Arls condition. Throughout the game, her efforts will be rewarded by the sight of the map becoming crowded with representation of Arls' growth
* [[Shout Out]] Sterk's Gaia Break cut-in to Super Robot Wars Thrudgelmir cut-in
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Due to the large carry-over of cast, a number of examples from [[Atelier Rorona|previous]] [[Atelier Totori|games]] apply here as well. Two new examples for ''Meruru'', however, are Meruru's father and "the young shop owner" - the former was "Dessie Horstna Arls" (デジエ ホルストナ アールス). As this was a bit feminine for a man, a bit of kana-interpretation alchemy transformed it into '''Dessier Hahlsner Arls'''.<ref>A trailing "e" or "a" sound can be interpreted as a light "er" or "ar" in romanization of Japanese.</ref> More problematic was the latter, though, as "Fwana/Juana Olsys" (フアナ オルシズ). There've been several ways given of spelling her name and neither really matches the given katakana. NISA ended up saying "pike it" and called her '''Hanna Olses'''.
** An interesting quasi-example is Mimi; in the promotional material for Meruru, she was called "Mimi Houlier von Schwarzlank". ''This wasn't even consistent with the spelling Gust gave in Japan's version of Atelier Totori''. NISA, naturally, opted to keep the spelling consistent between English versions as "Mimi Houllier von Schwarzlang".
