Line 28:
** Teepo: for similar reasons to Rei.
** General Rhun
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: Albeit [[The Not -Secret|heavily implied]] in-game, in ''II'': {{spoiler|Patty is actually Yua, Ryu's younger sister.}}
** Yuna in ''IV'' has quite a few of these surrounding him. {{spoiler|There is a portion of the base that believes he created Myria and set the entire series into motion. This theory stems from the fact that he pulls a [[Karma Houdini]] at the end of the game and announces that he wants to create more gods. Of course, this assumes that the game is a prequel to the others, which has not been confirmed. Now that the manga is concluded, his continued existence -- along with the survival of Fou-lu -- has a few people thinking that he may be coming back as the [[Big Bad]] of a sequel or side-story.}}
** According to the [[Creative Closing Credits]] in ''II'', the elder of Dologany is named "Ryu Rider"...could he be ''I'''s Ryu?
Line 34:
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Fou-lu, Elyon
* [[Fanon]]: The current Ryu and Nina are the reincarnations of the Ryu and Nina from the previous games and they are [[Reincarnation Romance|soulmates.]]
** Due to the fact that the exact position of ''IV'' has never been established timeline-wise, there are at least two fanon interpretations as to where the game fits (not counting [[Alternate Universe]] explanations). The most popular "Fanon Timeline" places ''IV'' as a [[Non -Linear Sequel]] (specifically as a sequel in the distant past) to ''I''-''III'', with an entire constellation of fanon related to this interpretation, specifically involving where Myria came from.
** There's a standard [[Fanon]] portrayal of [[Fan -Preferred Couple]] [[Drunken Master|Scias]] and [[Tsundere|Ursula]] in ''IV'', which lives and breathes [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]].
* [[Fan -Preferred Couple]]: To an extent in ''II'', shows up more blatantly in ''IV'' and ''Dragon Quarter''.
** Ryu x Rinpoo/Katt in ''II'' is a popular [[Fan -Preferred Couple]] in both the US and Japan, even gaining its own [[Portmanteau Couple Name]] in English-speaking countries.
** Scias x Ursula in ''IV'' is a fairly well-established [[Fan -Preferred Couple]] that has taken on a fanon life of its own. Ryu x Lin in ''Dragon Quarter'' is a similar case of a [[Fan -Preferred Couple]]<ref>considering the Nina in that game is all of twelve years old and Ryu has more of a [[Big Brother Complex]] with her.</ref>.
** ''Yaoi'' [[Fan -Preferred Couple|Fan Preferred Couples]] abound as well. Probably the most popular examples include {{spoiler|Fou-lu x Ryu which is technically a ''[[Screw Yourself|selfcest]]'' pairing in ''IV'', Ryu x Bosch in ''Dragon Quarter'', and Elyon x Jesuit in ''DQ''.}}
* [[Fan Yay]]: Garr has been popular in gay-oriented [[Fan Art]].
* [[Game Breaker]]: The Agni/Ultimate Power transformation. Merges all the party into a single being, max HP and AP and the damages it deals ''always'' caps at 999.
** Sadly falls under [[Last -Disc Magic]]. And this is in the dark eras of most [[RPG|RPGs]] not having [[New Game Plus+]] ([[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|with one exception]]).
** In ''II'', Bleu has the best stats, most powerful spells and the ability to shed her skin, which restores her HP completely. There's a reason she has no Shaman bonding.
*** ''I'' also relegates her to this status, seeing as she has the highest experience rate in the party (i.e. the easiest and fastest to level up).
Line 86:
{{quote| {{spoiler|Ershin: "Was that... an appropriate time to laugh?"}}}}
** {{spoiler|Jade/Judas's death in ''The Dragon Warrior'', along his lover Sara.}}
* [[That One Boss]]: Wildcat the chef from ''II''. Before you fight against him, you have to exchange all of your kickass equipment for a knife, a napkin, and a plate (as a shield). While you're equipped with the game's equivalent of [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|heart]], Chef Wildcat's chopping and dicing up your party with moves that can be close to an instant-kill if your HP are low enough. Try to sneak into his office with your weapons, and the bouncer will be more than happy to stomp a mudhole in you.
** The bouncers are actually somewhat manageable, but unfortunately, it seems you can't get out of losing all your items and sacrificing 1/4 of your HP.
** Gremlin in ''I'' as well. As soon as he [[Turns Red]] he uses his best attack every turn and has about two or three times his HP bar left.
** Horn Toad in ''I'' has a nasty habit of using earthquake jumping moves a lot after he [[Turns Red]].
** Algernon in ''II''. It has two companions, one heals roughly 100HP each turn, another does an AOE attack, in addition to Algernon's AOE attack. Among other things.
** The Zombie Dragon in ''III'', [[Luck -Based Mission|depending on whether or not he abuses his Bone Dance attack.]] Bone Dance damages and confuses both of the characters. He's also fond of poisons. Fortunately he can be buried with Kyrie.
** Barubary/Barbaroi. ''Definitely'' one of the toughest opponents in the second game.
* [[That One Level]]: The Desert of Death from ''III'', a [[Guide Dang It]] made even more so by a mistranslation that sends you in completely the wrong direction, made even scrappier by the fact a rather silly [[Insurmountable Waist -Height Fence]]<ref>The only thing stopping you from going straight to the final dungeon after getting the portal network working again is the fact that nobody in your party has the guts to hop down from a 6-foot-tall crate.</ref> is the only thing preventing you from skipping it.<ref>And it had the ''simplest'' solution: turn 1 degree to the right; from that direction, it's ''literally'' a straight path.</ref>
** It has a counterpart in ''IV'' that isn't much better. Seriously, who at Capcom could have thought this was a good idea?
** The crystal-path maze in Mote/Sigmund's nightmare.
