Crimson Gem Saga: Difference between revisions

* [[Fake Difficulty]]: {{spoiler|In the final dungeon, one party member runs off after his own [[MacGuffin]], another falls into a trap, and a third betrays the party, stabbing a fourth. None of this comes with any warning. Only one of them comes back, cutting down your team of six to only three, who have no useful [[Combination Attacks]] between them. And then you have to fight [[Sequential Boss|two bosses back-to-back]].}}

* [[Fetch Quest]]: The general plot of the game is this, but also a series of optional quests given to you by Chevalier trainer Englehyde.

** [[The Hero]]: Killian, who plays it very straight.

** [[The Lancer]]: Ladhuk, whose practicality and coldbloodedness is often at odds with Killian's sense of morals.

* [[Global Airship]]: Teased, but surprisingly averted for a game with such old-school sensibilities. There's one in the title screen cinematic, but none to be seen in-game.

* [[Gold Fever]]: Given that the very nature of the Wicked Stones is to tempt the hearts of Men, it shouldn't come as a surprise that {{spoiler|two of your party members turn against you at the worst possible moment.}}

* [[Heroic Mime]]: Subverted. Sometimes, you might wish Killian would just shut up.

** Subverted with {{spoiler|the 30,000 Sword, a reward from one of Englehyde's side quests. A supposedly legendary weapon that delivers 30,000 points of damage...but that's only the on-screen damage indicator, as it actually does normal damage based on its stats. Fortunately, its stats are good enough to be the best weapon available for Killian until Act 3.}}

** Upheld with {{spoiler|the Sword of Soonsin, a [[Bonus Dungeon]] reward which is complimented by an Infinity Plus One Armor, that together give Killian a new in-combat sprite.}}

* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: Killian's party is remarkably dysfunctional, yet unwaveringly loyal {{spoiler|except when it counts.}}

* [[Red Herring]]: Herbert von Guterrian, who is presented as Killian's [[The Rival|rival]] at the start of the game. He's not around for most of it and you never even get to pound his smug face into the ground.

* [[Save Point]]: Averted, you can save anywhere. It's a wonder some other games for mobile platforms haven't figured this out yet.

* [[Saving the World]]: Averted...? It's never really clear what the [[Big Bad]] is planning to do.
