* [[After the End]]: Specifically, After the End of the Revolutionary War.
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: This game is an incredible parody of 16-bit JRPGs. There's also a ''much'' less affectionate parody of the RPG Maker community and certain Internet subcultures in general. A few of the rants that you read before saving are taken verbatim from real Internet discussion forums.
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: Cesspool X is an example of this where "gatdam animal people" live. There is an inn as well as a plastic surgeon clinic.
* [[Action Commands]]: The attacks in the game are made stronger by well-timed button presses of various sorts, similar to [[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]].
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: This game is an incredible parody of 16-bit JRPGs. There's also a ''much'' less affectionate parody of the RPG Maker community and certain Internet subcultures in general. A few of the rants that you read before saving are taken verbatim from real Internet discussion forums.
* [[After the End]]: Specifically, After the End of the Revolutionary War.
* [[All in a Row]]: In the game, your party is visible in a row.
* [[All Myths Are True]]: Subverted. You can hear about a key in Cuchulainn's Tomb, and you see the door the key is supposed to open afterward, but there's no key in the tomb at all.
** Actually you can apply that to virtually anything presented as a "secret" in this game. Anything that you really have [[Lost Forever]] you weren't told about if you missed it, and everything that you are told you "missed" didn't exist.
* [[All in a Row]]: In the game, your party is visible in a row.
* [[Alternate History]]: The Revolutionary War wasn't fought for America, but [[Inherently Funny Words|Jickleberg]]. The aftermath of the war is the Cyberpocalypse.
* [[Always Check Behind the Chair]]: Lampshaded with [[Grail in the Garbage|the trash cans in the Spalding building.]]
* [[Antidote Effect]]: Averted; healing items work by percents instead of fixed numbers. You'll still want to buy the all-purpose [[Standard Status Effect]] cure instead of the individual status medicine, though.
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Most of the opponents in the B-Ball Dimension Arena Tournament, except for the final battle with Kevin Garnett. Special mention goes to the Flame Delmon, who blows ''himself'' up early into the fight. Barkley [[Irony|comments afterwards that it was tough]].
** Also the {{spoiler|Ball Spider that guards Shimmerglobe, which is just a normal enemy from an early dungeon, yet is treated as a boss with the boss music playing.}}
* [[Anti-Grinding]]: [[Actually Four Mooks|Wandering enemies]] don't respawn, [[Good Bad Bugs|except in one area]] that gets visited twice.
* [[Big Bad]]: Like many JRPGs, [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|you don't see him or hear about it at all]] until you've beaten everything else.
