Line 12:
* [[Big Bad]]: Emperor Draygon.
* [[Cap]]: Your experience level is capped at 16.
* [[The Cameo]]: Athena and Kensou (fresh off their debuts in ''[[Psycho Soldier (Video Game)|Psycho Soldier]]'') appear as two of the four Sages. However, Athena is called "Asina" and Kensou is rendered as "Kensu", a clear case of Engrish.
** The village elders of two towns are also named Ralph (Ralf) and Clark, the ''[[Ikari Warriors]]''-originated soldiers who're now far better known from ''[[King of Fighters]]''.
* [[Charged Attack]]: Every sword comes with a base level 1 charge. Most can charge to a level 2 attack after you acquire an orb to go with said sword (except the Crystalis sword, which also automatically comes with this), and the four elemental swords can hit a level 3 charge when an appropriate bracelet is equipped. Given how quickly the charge happens, these are frequently [[Awesome Yet Practical]] unless you're dealing with a huge swarm of enemies.
** Actually, the Crystalis sword's apparent three charge levels is the result of a [[Good Bad Bugs|glitch]] and the sword was always meant to have just one charge level. If you go into your inventory (or the status screen) and come back out, the "extra" levels of charge disappear. Furthermore, if you avoid going into your inventory between receiving Crystalis and the battle with {{spoiler|DYNA}}, you'll find that [[Goggles Do Nothing|the "extra" levels do nothing.]]
* [[Cowboy Bebop Atat His Computer]]: The manual! The story given in the manual is completely inaccurate and, in fact, makes the story in the game harder to understand! (Why would Draygon be searching for the tower if he built it?)
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Mesia. Somewhat subverted, as her main ability is summoning the [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|Flying Tower]] [[Doomsday Device|of]] [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|Doomy Doom Doom]].
* [[Speaks Fluent Animal]]: One of the side effects of the "Telepathy" spell is that it allows you to communicate with animals.
* [[Egopolis]]: The '''Draygonian''' [[The Empire|Empire]]. That is all.
* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Some enemies are completely immune to one or more of the sword (e.g. the insects in the forest near Oak can only be [[Kill It Withwith Fire|damaged by the Sword of Fire]].)
* [[Evil Overlord]]: Draygon.
* [[Fling a Light Into Thethe Future]]: The Hero and Mesia.
* [[Four Is Death]], on both sides: There are four benevolent Sages, but there are also four evil generals who work for Emperor Draygon.
* [[Forced Level Grinding]]: In the NES version, you cannot damage enemies or bosses if you aren't sufficient level. The GBC version averts this.
Line 33:
* [[Humans Are Ugly]]: The elder of Oak doesn't like the smell of humans. In the GBA remake, it's one of the residents blocks the elder's house claiming he doesn't like that smell. That resident doesn't like the smell even after he accepts that humans are actually nice.
* [[Improbable Power Discrepancy]]: Averted. DYNA is a pushover, and its only defense is a set of gatling guns. You easily defeat it with Crystalis, which the game manual notes is the most powerful weapon ever created.
* [[King in Thethe Mountain]]: Your character -- and Mesia! -- are asleep until the time comes to either save the world or destroy it.
* [[Lady Land]]: Amazones.
* [[Master of Disguise]]: The hero, after he learns the "Change" spell. He'll need to [[Attractive Bent Gender|change himself into a girl]] in order to get into the aforementioned town of Amazones.
Line 46:
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: The Fruit of Repun reverses the "Nuper" status (that turns you into a monster incapable of attacking or using magic.)
** Of course, niether Repun nor Nuper are actually, you know, ''things''.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The story opens in "[[Nausicaa of the Valley of Thethe Wind|the Windy Valley]]", which is populated by giant insects. "October 1, 1997, the end day" is a shout-out to ''[[Terminator]]''.
* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: Mt. Sabre.
* [[Sound of No Damage]]
