Line 41:
* [[Cooking Duel]]: A literal example.
* [[Creative Closing Credits]]: Rather than showing up the development staff, the credits lists the names of ''every single'' character in the game, even minor [[NPC]] and town dwellers, some times in full-name basis. This is also so full of [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to western culture that it counts as [[Bilingual Bonus]] for the Japanese.
* [[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: It is simply implausible that anyone could take out Ryu so easily in a one-on-one fight, and then die like a chump not two hours later. Unless you're [[Hopeless Boss Fight|Tiga]].▼
* [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]]: The [[Big Bad]] is one.
▲* [[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: It is simply implausible that anyone could take out Ryu so easily in a one-on-one fight, and then die like a chump not two hours later. Unless you're [[Hopeless Boss Fight|Tiga]].
* [[Death Mountain]]: Mt. Fubi, Mt. Rocko and Mt. Maori.
* [[Demonic Possession]]: Several boss characters. Most are humans who were corrupted by power or greed.
Line 84:
* [[Let's You and Him Fight]]: When you enter CotLnd, Tiga decides to fight Ryu because he thinks there's something going on between him and Katt.
* [[Long-Lost Relative]]: {{spoiler|Patty is actually Yua, Ryu's sister}}.
* [[Lost Forever]]: Building up the TownShip community requires previous planning, as there are only 6 available houses, each one with their corresponding tenant. Since it only takes speaking to the tenant to make him/her join, it is quite easy to talk to the wrong [[NPC]] and have a house with an important one occupied forever.▼
** There's also the {{spoiler|Great Bird}}, lost very close to the end, which also leaves Ryu's [[Infinity+1 Sword]] out of reach.▼
* [[Lost in Translation]]: Most of the [[Punny Name|Punny Names]] and [[Theme Naming]].
** Also, Gandaroof should've been Romanized as Gandalf.
** The "A" in "A. Sludge" stand for "Atomic", which might explain {{spoiler|why most of the monsters in the island where you fight them are giant}}.

▲** There's also the {{spoiler|Great Bird}}, lost very close to the end, which also leaves Ryu's [[Infinity+1 Sword]] out of reach.
* [[Lost Superweapon]]: {{spoiler|Highfort}}. Surprisingly for a JRPG, Shupkay ''fails'' to reactivate it.
* [[Love Triangle]]: Trubo hates Sten for abandoning the Princess, who loves him. Made more complicated by the fact Trubo pines for the Princess, himself.
Line 112:
* [[Power-Up Food]]: Biscuits (a fairly easy item to make) will permanently boost one character's stats by +1 per biscuit. If one doesn't mind grinding to get the proper ingredients, you can max out your party's stats, regardless of level, by the game's halfway point.
* [[Punny Name]]. Alzheimer (Aruhamel), Aspara Gus (Spar), Eichichi (chichi literally means "udders"), Land / Rand Marks (Rand) and Nympho Mani (Nimufu) were [[Lost in Translation]]. Algernon and Town Ship made it in.
* [[Required Party Member]]: You need Sten to get to Highfort. And Katt to enter the Whale and CotLnd.▼
* [[Religion of Evil]]: Played with {{spoiler|the Church of St. Eva}}. While it's secretly bad to the bone, it's believers (and many of it's puppet preachers) genuinely believe it's so good and noble as they were told.
▲* [[Required Party Member]]: You need Sten to get to Highfort. And Katt to enter the Whale and CotLnd.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: It doesn't matter if you think you're God: {{spoiler|If you kill his friends in front of him, Ryu ''will'' bring you down no matter how many explosions you throw at him.}}
* [[Saintly Church]]: The Dragon Clan and their religious beliefs. There's something very [[Book of Revelation]]-y about the story, with the people ignoring the benevolent deity and {{spoiler|worshiping a demon who poses as one}}.
Line 126:
* [[Tournament Arc]]: Coursair's battle tournament. Subverted by Augus, the crooked manager, into a [[Blood Sport]].
* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: Sets the record for sheer number of Trauma Conga Lines in a single game in the franchise, damn near being a Trauma Conga Limbo Party in and of itself with most of the cast.
* [[Under the Sea]]: The Upa Caves.▼
* [[Underground Level]]: The Dry Well of Capitan.▼
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Ryu and Patty's parents. Their mom is a hot young winged woman who can turn into a gigantic dragon and their dad, while not necessarily ugly, is a normal old human.
▲* [[Underground Level]]: The Dry Well of Capitan.
▲* [[Under the Sea]]: The Upa Caves.
* [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]: Infinity.
* [["Wake-Up Call" Boss]]: Terrapin.
