Line 239:
* ''[[Dragoneers Aria|Dragoneer's Aria]]''. It's an RPG that consists of [[Final Fantasy VII|chasing a psychopath around the world]] as he [[Final Fantasy V|destroys the world's elemental MacGuffins]]. The battle system is also very stale.
* ''[[Beyond the Beyond]]'', one of Camelot Software's first non-''[[Shining Force]]'' RPGs.
* ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'' should have had a counter that clicked every time they recycled a cliché from ''[[Star Trek]], [[Final Fantasy]],'' and every other console RPG. Maria even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] it during one in-town dialogue.
** Bonus points go to the twist that {{spoiler|the world of ''Star Ocean'' is a Video game -- even the 4D beings who play it probably thought "This game really ''is'' pretty cliche isn't it?"}}
* ''[[Grandia II]]'', ''[[Luminous Arc]]'', and ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' are, like, ''the'' threesome of cliché storms, being built around identical framing devices and having largely the same plot twists.
