Line 28:
** The worst would have to be arriving at the Big Bad's lair, Scande...only to find that the [[Broken Bridge|one working elevator]] is broken. Mind you, the Dark Dragons can simply fly up to Zog's tower if they wish, but it's still conspicuous how they don't just fix it themselves.
* [[Build Like an Egyptian]]: The desert tomb of Krypt.
* [[But Thou Must!]]: ''Repeatedly!''
* [[The Cameo]]: One can spot [[Street Fighter|Chun-Li]] in one thief's act in Bleak. There are also [[Ghosts N Goblins (Video Game)|Arthur]] pictures hanging inside houses.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Both manga adaptations add a good number of characters, most notably Bo's entire family in ''The Dragon Warrior'' and the [[Big Bad|Ice Dragon Clan]] in ''Princess of the Wings''.
Line 82:
* [[Impossibly Cool Wealth]]: The town of Auria is literally paved with gold, due to its proximity to the Light Key.
* [[Incredible Shrinking Man]]: Cort shrinks your entire party to the size of mice. Luckily, there are ''real'' mice in the area who are pleased to help Ryu.
* [[Inn Security]]: Played with in Bleak's Inn. Being a [[Thieves' Guild|town of thieves]], it's rather suspicious that it's totally free. If you decide to stay, you'll wake up with your savings stolen. Buying an special item on Auria will catch the Inn owner on the act, who will pay you to avoid any further problems.
* [[Invincible Hero]]: Agni makes any battle, up to and including the final boss, practically impossible to lose. The best strategy for the final boss is to cast the Agni transformation and then use Auto-Battle.
* [[Irrelevant Importance]]: You can't really dispose of any "key" item, even if those are totally useless afterwards.
Line 105:
* [[Playing Both Sides]]: {{spoiler|Jade}}.
* [[Plot Coupon That Does Something]]: Out of the six Goddess Keys, only 3 can be used in-game: the Light and Dark Key switches daytime/nightime, and the Earth Key mimics an earthquake attack.
* [[Plot -Relevant Age -Up]]: {{spoiler|Nina}}
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: Poor {{spoiler|Cerl.}}
** In ''The Dragon Warrior'' manga, {{spoiler|Jade gets one as well}}, paired with a [[Together in Death]] with {{spoiler|his lover Sara.}}
* [[Sequence Breaking]]: After you get Karn, you can open any locked door. {{spoiler|Warp back to Romero and head to Agua, and you can go higher up than you've ever gone before. Search the statues for a powerful dagger and suit of armor. You won't see other gear on this level until the endgame.}}
* [[Ship Level]]: The Dark Dragons' galleon.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The leader of the golden city Auria is named Rosewater in the original, from the main character of [[Kurt Vonnegut]]'s story "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater".
** Sieg and Rai on the GBA port can be seen as one too.
** Arguably, but the sprite for the various town chiefs is suspiciously similar to [[Mega Man (Video Game)|Dr. Wily]].
* [[Shout -Out Theme Naming]]: Bo's japanese name is Gilliam, while the son of his tribe's chief is Terry...together they form [[Terry Gilliam (Creator)|Terry Gilliam]].
* [[Stable Time Loop]]: Ryu meets {{spoiler|Nina's future self}} in Tunlan, not realizing it's her. After {{spoiler|Nina gets thrown backward through time, the older Nina promptly rejoins}}.
* [[Take Over the World]]: Zog's a rather typical [[Evil Overlord]].
Line 126:
* [[War Was Beginning]]: The prologue establishes that the Dark Dragons are bad news.
* [[Weather Control Machine]]: The Sky Key and, by extension, the Spyre where it is located.
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Juda offers this at one point to the party. [[But Thou Must!|Even if you accept, you can't do nothing but stand still,]] as moving will prompt Jade to ask again, and not moving will prompt him to [[Multi Mook Melee|sic some monsters]] on you to appease his boredom.
* [[Wretched Hive]]: Bleak. [[Inn Security|Even the Inn]] isn't safe.
* [[Yoko Shimomura]]: Composed part of the music.
