Line 42:
** More like a case of editor nickname. For example: Scorpion's nickname during development of the first [[Mortal Kombat]] was Mustard.
* [[Divine Chessboard]]: With Lucas right in the middle, and the evil priest controlled by another faction.
* [[Do Well,
* [[Downer Beginning]]
* [[The Dragon]]: The Oracle.
Line 67:
* [[How We Got Here]]: The stirring opening monologue.
* [[I Know Karate]]: Every main character demonstrates an impressive amount of unarmed combat skill, but Lucas takes the cake as he eventually starts doing [[Wire Fu]] as well. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] by Lucas training regularly in private (evident in the presence of a boxing bag in his apartment) and by Tyler and Carla sparring regularly (including once in the game).
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: {{spoiler|When Lucas is possessed by the Cyborg, Carla takes control to snap him out of it. The Cyborg foils it by knocking her out of the way. Of course, seeing her hurt gets Lucas to snap out of its control}}.
* [[Infant Immortality]]: Subverted at every opportunity. In the park scene, if you fail while trying {{spoiler|to save the kid who fell under the ice}} or don't even attempt to, he dies. In a flashback section {{spoiler|one, two or three kids will die}} if you don't find them in time. And, whatever ending you get, {{spoiler|Jade dies}}.
* [[Inspector Javert]]: Carla and Tyler.
Line 104:
* [[Sanity Meter]]: When the meter is full, it reads NEUTRAL rather than WELL or GOOD etc. Yeah... it's that sort of game.
** Should it drop to zero, the character you're playing will snap and...well, kill themselves. However, you usually have some control over the meter, with only one decision ( {{spoiler|Tyler staying in New York, rather than leaving with Samantha}}) causing it to plummet precipitously.
* [[
* [[Shout Out]]: Several.
** While looking at Takeo, Tyler compares him to a character from [[Gremlins]].
** The orderly in the medical hospital looks and acts almost exactly like the one in [[The Silence of the Lambs]]. He's even called Barney.
** During the [[Stern Chase]], Lucas needs a place to hide so he goes to see his old girlfriend. Long story short, he ends up having [[Breakfast At
** The professor who is an expert in Mayan societies is called Kuriyakin which is ''very'' similiar to [[The Man From UNCLE|Illya Kuryakin]].
** Lucas poses as a reporter named John Cunningham. Several people bearing this name [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cunningham are writers of one sort or another].
Line 125:
* [[Straight Gay]]: Tommy. His voice is a ''wee'' bit effeminate, but otherwise he's just a regular Joe.
* [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]: Poor {{spoiler|Tiffany. Her [[Plotline Death]] seems to come right in time to make the [[Strangled By the Red String|Lucas/Carla romance]] kick in - ironically, it starts in front of Tiffany's grave for them. Feels even worse in case you had Lucas have the [[Optional Sexual Encounter]] with Tiffany earlier}}.
* [[Summon Bigger Fish]]: {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|The Purple Clan resurrecting Lucas]], in a rare case of the PC being that bigger fish. He's ''not'' their ally by any means, but at the point where they bring him back, the Orange Clan is on the verge of winning; Lucas coming back represents their last chance to complete the Prophecy. And if Lucas comes out on top and gets the Indigo Child, they're far better off than if the Oracle gets it, since Lucas has no clue what the hell he's doing with the power of the Chroma and they can run back to the Net, while the Orange Clan will destroy them for good if they win. [[Xanatos Gambit|They really can't lose.]]}}
* [[Suspiciously Apropos Music]]: Most of the music on Lucas's stereo is oddly appropriate to this particular situation. Notably, the second time you get a chance to play it is right before his estranged girlfriend Tiffany stops by to pick up her things, and the second song queued up is Theory of a Deadman's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sKDd9uOW-0&ob=av2n Santa Monica]", which is about a guy's girlfriend having left him.
* [[Take My Hand]]: Markus pulling Lucas onto the balcony after the {{spoiler|Oracle's attack}}.
Line 136:
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Lucas has been manipulated by {{spoiler|the AI disguised as Agatha}}.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: ''Fahrenheit'' was originally conceived as an [[Episodic Game|episodic series]] in thirteen parts, something which was emphasized a fair deal in early previews. This idea was eventually dropped.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: Given the "happiest" of the three endings, what exactly does Lucas mean when he says {{spoiler|that the Purple Clan}} "went back to haunting us on the net"? Just one of the many factors which make the conclusion less than satisfying.
** Maybe he was implying that the Purple clan are [[Image Boards|Anonymous]].
* [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]]: There is a general preference of "K" over "C" in many names. It's almost surprising two of the protagonists aren't titled Lukas Kane and Karla Valenti, but one suspects David Cage was conscious of [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|overkill]].
