''Beyond the Beyond'' was one of the first [[Role -Playing Game|Role Playing Games]] released during the Sony [[Play StationPlayStation]]'s life cycle, and one of the first by game developer Camelot (after changing its name from Sonic! Software Planning and working on the first two ''[[Shining Force]]'' games).
 
The basic plot of the game isn't much to write home about, but it serves its purpose: young swordsman-in-training travels across the world with his pet dragon, meets allies, fights an evil empire, and attempts to save the world from a group of angry underworld denizens known as the Vicious Ones.
Line 8:
Has nothing to do with [[Beyond the Impossible]], the [[There Beyond the Beyond|manga of the same name]], or the unproduced sequel to the Lucio Fulci film "The Beyond".

{{tropelist}}
=== This game uses the following tropes: ===
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Almost every friendly human character has a "standard" name like Finn, Annie, and Galahad, while the non-humans get "fantastic" names like Tont and Dagoot.
* [[Ambidextrous Sprite]]
* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: Lorelei.
* [[A Boy and His X|A Boy And His Baby Dragon]]
* [[Black Magician Girl|Black Magician Boy]]: Edward
Line 21:
* [[Dual Boss]]: Ramue and Shutat, the penultimate bosses and [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] of the game.
* [[Flunky Boss]]: Dagoot and Yeon.
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Finn
** [[The Lancer]]: Percy (sometimes Edward)
Line 27:
** [[The Big Guy]]: Samson
** [[The Chick]]: Annie
** [[Sixth Ranger|Sixth Rangers]]: Domino and Lorele
** [[Team Pet]]: Steiner
* [[Four Is Death]]: The "Vicious Ones" are a group of four of the most powerful Underworlders. They are also a [[Five-Bad Band]] with Akkadias as the [[Big Bad]], Shutat as [[The Dragon]], Yeon as [[The Evil Genius]], Dagoot as [[The Brute]], and Ramue as [[The Dark Chick]].
Line 48:
** Literal for Tont after upgrade (If he wasn't that squishy beforehand...)
* [[Summon Magic]]: Tont specializes in this. There are two varieties: One summons a random mook to deliver a one-time attack on an enemy, while a second variety allows him to summon powerful guardian beasts that hit every enemy at once.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Steiner, after you complete the promotion quest. He goes from a harmless-looking baby dragon to a majestic golden wyrm, and you can ride on him and summon him into battle. [[Plot-Relevant Age-Up|Kid sure grows up fast, doesn't he?]]
* [[Treacherous Advisor]]: Glade of Zalagoon.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: The normally calm and self-assured Glade explodes into a [[Talkative Loon|rambling nonsensical rant]] when Samson returns to Zalagoon free from his magical curse to showcase his trademark brute strength.
