Line 17: ---- {{tropelist}} * [[Abduction Is Love]]: Palpaleos kidnaps Princess Yoyo, {{spoiler\|and then they fall in love.}}. * [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]]: Fahrenheit's main function besides being an HQ, just replace Aircraft with Dragons. * [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: {{spoiler\|Poor Byuu.}}. * [[Another Dimension]]: {{spoiler\|Altair.}}. * [[Anti-Villain]]: {{spoiler\|Both Sauzer and Palpaleos.}}. * [[Arbitrary Headcount Limit]]: The number of units allowed on the field is determined by how many dragons are under your control, with four humans being assigned to each dragon. * [[Artificial Stupidity]]: Don't expect your dragons to differentiate between a switch and normal floor. Even if that switch will trigger a trapdoor that instantly kills four of your characters. ** The enemy falls victim to this as well--: they will always attack the unit that's dealt the most damage to them, even if that unit happens to be invincible or if there's a helpless healing party not too far from it. It also has a compulsion to always attack a single character, never next to a character, so you can easily exploit that to prevent splash damage. * [[Assassin Outclassin']]: When you recruit Sajin and Zeroshin into your army, they also give you a free assassination as a bonus. You can choose the target to be either the [[Rebellious Princess]], a [[Mighty Glacier]] or a [[Red Shirt]]. No prizes for guessing which target is the only one they actually succeed in killing. * [[Back From the Brink]]: Set to liberate all of the Orelus years after it was completely conquered by [[The Empire]]. Line 36: * [[Character Development]]: A surprising amount. Mostly for Yoyo. * [[The Chosen One]]: The Dragnar. * [[Cognizant Limbs]]: The [[Final Boss]], {{spoiler\|a five-headed dragon}}. Sadly, the engine doesn't handle it nearly as well as it could have. * [[The Grand List of Console Role Playing Game Cliches\|Console RPG Cliches]]: Bahamut Lagoon is notable for [[Averted Trope\|averting]] or [[Subverted Trope\|subverting]] a great number of them. * [[Cool Ship]]: An entire floating ''continent''. * [[Damsel in Distress]]: Yoyo. A good part of the game is spent attempting to rescue her from the Empire. {{spoiler\|Associated tropes are subverted, though, in that she falls for her kidnapper and is actually the one of most powerful characters in the game, in terms of both story and gameplay.}}. * [[Did Not Get the Girl]]: See [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] below. * [[The Dragon]]: Palpaleos to Emperor Sauzer. Line 46: * [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]] * [[Element Number Five]]: Earth, Light and Dark aren't visible in your dragons' stats. Earth is the first extra element, a dragon who knows [[Fire, Ice, Lightning\|Fire, Ice and Lightning]] magic can use Earth at the same level as its worst element. Then, a dragon with maxed out Earth, Healing, Poison, Strength and Defense will gain access to the Light and Dark elements. Very few monsters resist these elements, and finishing off enemies with them gives a chance to drop the best items in the game. Unfortunately, they also cost a lot of MP to cast. * [[The Empire]]: Granbelos. {{spoiler\|Subverted in ending - Kahna itself becomes an empire from [[La Résistance]]'s work in-game, but is obviously not evil.}}. * [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: Subverted -: Yoyo becomes the queen of Kahna after its liberation. * [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]] * [[Fishing Minigame]]: Very briefly, to catch Donfan, of all things. Line 55: * [[Geo Effects]]: Different terrains hurt, heal or protect, and all can be altered with the right elemental attack. ** [[Grimy Water]]: The poison swamp Geo Effect, which could be changed to a normal swamp via healing magic. * [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler\|Palpaleos.}}. * [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Byuu actually uses ''two'' swords, to establish him as cooler than the stock sword-wielding units. * [[Heroic Mime]] Line 64: * [[Jack of All Stats]]: Cross Knights Byuu {{spoiler\|and Palpaleos}} and to the lesser extent the Knights Rush, Truce and Bikkebakke. * [[The Kingdom]]: Every other nation besides the Granbelos Empire. * [[Kleptomaniac Hero, Found Underwear]]: Byuu finds quite a number of "drawer things" -: things from a drawer in the wink and nudge sense. You can also find "Princess' ???", usually in the suspicious location of Yoyo's bed. However, you can also find "Gunso's ???" by talking to him at pretty much any time... * [[Lady of War]]: The Light Armors - Lukia, Jeanne, and Mist. * [[La Résistance]]: The Resistance/Orelus Liberation Army. * [[Magic Knight]]: Every physical combatant, courtesy of the dragons. Line 73: * [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: When you liberate Cambell from [[The Empire]] 's grip, most of the people (including the queen) are displeased with you doing this. One man says that [[Anti-Villain\|"If we obeyed [The Imperial Soldiers], they were actually nice guys," and another says that Palpaleos told him he'd grow up to be strong.]] * [[Ninja]]: Assassins Sajin and Zeroshin. * [[No Name Given]]: Zora's son. {{spoiler\|Eventually revealed to be Orelus, the same name as the world. No plot relevance, though.}} * [[Non-Elemental]]: Uni magic. It's typeless, does double damage, but also has a 50% failure rate. * [[~~Not~~No SoName ~~Different~~Given]]: ~~Sauzer~~Zora's son. {{spoiler\|HeEventually ~~wants~~revealed to ~~usher~~be inOrelus, the ~~new~~same ~~age and prevent apocalypse, just with ''himself''~~name as the ~~Dragnar~~world. ~~Given~~No ~~Yoyo's~~plot ~~weakness~~relevance, ~~and the other part of the prophecy...~~though}}. * [[Not So Different]]: Sauzer. {{spoiler\|He wants to usher in the new age and prevent apocalypse, just with ''himself'' as the Dragnar. Given Yoyo's weakness and the other part of the prophecy}}... * [[One-Winged Angel]]: The final boss starts as a giant {{spoiler\|dragon}}, and after defeat transforms into a giant, five-headed {{spoiler\|dragon}} that takes up the whole map. * [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Both the dragons and the Holy Dragons. * [[Plot Coupon]]: The Holy Dragons. Line 87: * [[Talented Princess, Regular Guy]]: Byuu might be a pretty good knight, but he takes a back seat, both in power and story role, to Princess Yoyo. * [[This Is the Final Battle]]: Subverted. Hornet tells you the final battle is about to begin in chapter 18, but it doesn't actually happen until chapter 23. * [[The Three Faces of Eve]]: With no less than ''three'' example groups: main characters Yoyo, Melodia (the [[Bratty Half-Pint]] / [[Token ~~Mini-Moe~~Loli]]) and Zora (the mother); light armor warriors Lukia (the feminine one), Jeanne (the [[Tomboy]]), and Mist (the fragile one); and healers Joy (the [[White Magician Girl]]), Diana (the [[Tomboy]]) and Frederica (the fragile, childish one). * [[Token ~~Mini-Moe~~Loli]]: Melodia. * [[Units Not to Scale]]: Units, forests, castles, houses - they all take up one square. This even has the added bonus of combining this trope with [[Party in My Pocket]]. * [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: {{spoiler\|Byuu. Yoyo ends up choosing Palpaleos over him.}}. {{spoiler\|Matelite}}, in a way, is one as well. * Then again, {{spoiler\|Palpaleos end up dead and Byuu wandering the sky on Bahamut's back, so Matelite}} still has his chances, thanks to the competition being gone (who said that [[Undying Loyalty\|thick headed loyalty]] did not pay?). * [[Unsound Effect]]: The "weird noises" that seem to pop up spontaneously during dialogue seem to indicate arousal (Donfan's trademark "boing" sound, natch), scheming (Ectarina's), and spitefulness (Mist). * [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: The game offers ample opportunities to rudely break poor Sendak's heart over and over and over again. ("I don't need any, you old man!"). * [[Villainous Friendship]]: Sauzer and Palpaleos. * [[Weather of War]]: The Sandstorms. * [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Played for humor (sort of). Byuu gets called out on the torture of an enemy soldier if the player chooses to do so. ** [[But Thou Must!\|Not that the player has any real choice there.]]. * [[Whip It Good]]: Barbarella's weapon of choice. * [[Womb Level]]: The Imperial flying giant nautilus.
