Line 62:
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: See below.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Lightning calls him out for taking it upon himself to {{spoiler|personally kill the other Warriors of Cosmos in order to save them from being [[Killed Off for Real]] by the [[Mooks|manikins]].}}
* [[What You Are in the Dark]]: In the Epilogue chapter, the entirety of the storyline applied to Kain after {{spoiler|he confronts Exdeath and Golbez}} functions as an extended one of these. {{spoiler|Kain had, then, a myriad of opportunities to escape [[Final Death]] at the hands of the manikins, and could have lived to fight another day. No one would have known, if he had chosen to take them.}} Yet, he ''didn't''. {{spoiler|Kain drags himself through apparent hell and high water to get to the [[Last Stand]], despite it all.}} Considering both the morally dubious nature of his role in the storyline and his reputation in the fandom as a backstabbing traitor in his original game, it's a nice way to establish that no, Kain really is a good guy.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Subjects other characters to it -- Kain is the one who beat Bartz, Zidane, Squall, and Firion, and he probably beat the Onion Knight and Cecil too. Of course, he typically beats them with liberal use of the age old strategy of [[In the Back]].
Line 173:
** Gilgamesh reveals his [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous|eight-armed]] [[One-Winged Angel|true form]] from his debut game. In addition to Regen, Gilgamesh's EX Mode gives him the following ability:
*** '''[[Multi Wielding|Octo Break:]]''' As Gilgamesh enters his EX Mode, he takes up a weapon for each of his eight hands, until the end of the EX-mode. He will either wield eight of the same weapon, four different weapons each with one duplicate, two different weapons each with three duplicates, one of every weapon or even some other combination; because of how random Gilgamesh's EX Mode actually is, there's roughly 16,777,216 different ways his EX Mode can turn out. In addition to extra hits for all physical attacks, this means that during his EX Mode, his abilities are far more reliable than usual, and can therefore be planned around. However, there's the very real chance that he'll end up wielding multiple [[Joke Weapon|Excalipoors]], in which case you'll want to exit EX mode ''fast''.<br />While he is enjoying this benefit, HP attacks not reliant on swords are also improved. His [[Rocket Punch]] shoots eight fists instead of two and the Missile spell fires two missiles.
** Gilgamesh Morphing Time also gives Gilgamesh access to his [[Limit Break|EX Burst]]: '''Strongest Sword'''
*** Gilgamesh is presented with eight blades, spinning around like a roulette wheel in front of him. One of these blades is [[Infinity+1 Sword|Excalibur]]. All the others are [[Joke Weapon|Excalipoor]]. Once you choose one, Gilgamesh launches into a long sword-combo upon the enemy. Pick Excalibur, and it does amazing damage, and Gilgamesh finishes his attack with '''Ultimate Illusion''', a final swing that [[Sword Beam|launches an erupting wave of energy at the opponent]].
{{quote|"That's it! Ya-ha-ha! I'm too good!"}}
*** [[Cherry Tapping|Pick Excalipoor, and every hit deals 1 damage]]. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Gilgamesh realizes this by the end of the move; finishing it by throwing the sword away and lamenting his bad luck. The sword lands in the opponent's head to deal the HP damage.]]
Line 220:
* [[Mythology Gag]]: After Cloud rescues Tifa from Sephiroth, Tifa comments that Cloud was "like a hero, charging in to save the girl," similar to [[I Will Protect Her|his]] [[The Promise|promise]] to her from their original game.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Her Premium Heart gloves have the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' logo on them.
** One of her Brave attacks is named "[[Super Smash Bros.|Falcon Dive]]." A cross-company shout out? Why should they do that? Maybe because Kazushige Nojima, scenario writer for ''FFVII'', wrote the plot behind ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Brawl]]'''s Subspace Emissary.
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: With Cloud, although she doesn't realize it for [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|obvious reasons]].
* [[Turn the Other Cheek]]: While Tifa is uncertain whether Kain's decision to {{spoiler|kill their friends to save them from the manikins}} is right or not, she knows Kain believes what he's doing is right and decides to follow him and keep fighting anyway.
Line 294:
{{quote|"Oh no... not good... focus, Laguna!"}}
* [[The Ditz]]
* [[Foil]]: To Squall, in their few interactions. It's encapsulated in their attitudes towards the other warriors; Squall doesn't see a point in making friends since he's focused on getting home, while Laguna embraces the chance to get to know people from so many different worlds, and advises Squall to "enjoy the now."
* [[The Heart]]
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: The new heroes sacrificed themselves to seal the manikins away in the void in a [[Bolivian Army Ending]].
Line 396:
* [[She's Got Legs]]: In her Gunner costume.
* [[Short Hair with Tail]]: In her Gunner dressphere.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Her [[Final Fantasy X
* [[Showgirl Skirt]]: Her Gunner dressphere.
* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]: In her Gunner dressphere.
* [[Woman in White]]: In her wedding dress.
Line 552:
=== Design and Costume Tropes ===
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: In his DLC costume.
* [[Bishonen]]:
{{quote|'''Kefka:''' And here I thought you were [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys|just another pre-pubescent pretty boy!]]}}
* [[Blue Eyes]]/[[Gray Eyes]]: It can be hard to tell.
Line 631:
'''Lightning''': "No thanks. It's not my bedtime." }}
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: Her EX Burst is the only one in the game that requires using the Analog Stick, which can lead to a few problems for those who set the movement controls to "D-Pad".
** Made worse for those whose PSP system's region is different to the game. Her EX Burst button commands are reversed. So if it says press X you should actually press circle, and vice versa.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: "Who died and made you Primarch?"
* [[The Heroine]]: Of the [[Five-Man Band]] of new heroes in ''Duodecim''.
