Line 53:
* [[The Cameo]]: The Xbox version of the first game has the creator and co-creator of the series themselves as spirits in the game. The second game includes costumes based on the ''[[Dead or Alive]]'' and ''[[Deception]]'' series. The fourth game, being co-developed by Nintendo, has costumes based on [[Metroid|Zero Suit Samus]] and [[Super Mario Bros|Luigi]].
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Yae Munakata, a hostile ghost from the first game who had committed suicide, was given a much more important role in the sequel. She turns out to be {{spoiler|Yae Kurosawa, Sae's twin sister}}.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: In the second game, one type of ghost is a woman with long, face-covering black hair that slowly emerges from a box. She's a clear [[Shout -Out]] to ''[[The Ring]],'' and that goes double for when you see her emerge from a well to attack you, just like Sadako.
* [[Creepy Child]]: Special mention goes out to the child version of Kirie in the first game {{spoiler|despite not being a hostile ghost}}, the Kiryu Twins in the second game, the Handmaidens in the third game, and Ayako in the fourth game.
* [[Creepy Doll]]: Par for the course in the second game. There is also some in the fourth.
Line 61:
** Misaki's decision to return to Rougetsu Island to find her lost memories {{spoiler|cost Madoka her life. Depending on which ending is canon, Misaki is probably dead as well, making Ruka the [[Final Girl|only member of the main cast]] to survive.}}
* [[Cutscene Power to The Max]]: In the second game's trailer, one can see Mio running as fast as she can to rescue Mayu, and damned if it wouldn't be nice if she could run ''that'' fast in-game!
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: Try playing either the first or second game for a while, then switch between them. Have fun panicking as you continuously press the wrong button to raise the camera!
** Worse if you try switching from the Xbox version to the [[PS 2]] version: the Xbox has a fairly standard dual-control stick layout, but the [[PS 2]] version of the first game has it ''backwards''. Cue panic as trying to run away from the ghost results in just flailing the camera around.
* [[Dead All Along]]:
Line 93:
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: This is what happens to {{spoiler|Kirie and Mafuyu}} in the first game's canon ending. They're going to spend the ''rest of eternity'' at the Hell Gate deep underground, with {{spoiler|Kirie}} making sure that the gate stays closed and {{spoiler|Mafuyu}} staying with her so that she won't have to suffer all alone.
* {{spoiler|[[Final Girl]]: Going by the [[Downer Ending|pattern set by its predecessors]], the fourth game's canon ending probably has Ruka as the only survivor.}}
* [[First -Person Snapshooter]]: With the sole exception of the male playable character from the fourth game, the protagonists' only weapon against the ghosts is a camera.
* [[Flashback Echo]]: Most of the non-hostile ghosts are these: a brief image of a person walking through an area, repeating something that happened to them in life.
* [[Full -Frontal Assault]]: The lead ghost in the third game is topless, but covered in blue tattoos and out of focus, so it's not exactly naughty to catch a glimpse of her. It is, however, terrifying.
* [[Gaiden Game]]: ''Real: Another Edition'', a [[No Export for You|Japanese-only]] cell phone spin-off that utilized the phone's camera to capture ghosts overlaid on the real world.
** [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Spiritual]] [[Spiritual Successor|Successor]]: ''GhostWire'' for [[D Si WareDSiWare]], which uses the exact same premise.
* [[Gender Restricted Ability]]:
** Not exactly restricted, but women are more likely than men to possess a powerful [[I See Dead People|Sixth Sense]].
** Only a man would have the strength to move this [[Insurmountable Waist -Height Fence|dresser]] out of the way.
*** Or jump the [[Sarcasm Mode|incredibly wide chasm]] between the rooftops of the inner shrine area.
* [[Ghost Butler]]: A textbook example happens when Mio enters the Kurosawa House.
Line 145:
** [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|The "good" endings are really just this. This is also the third game's default ending.}}
** [[Golden Ending]]: {{spoiler|The only truly [[Happy Ending|Happy Endings]] you're getting, usually in the hardest difficulties and exclusive to The Xbox versions.}}
* [[New Game Plus+]]
* [[Never Mess With Granny]]: The Stroller Grandma spirit in the third game. She goes down in about one or two shots, but she can also ''one-hit kill you!''
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]:
Line 166:
** Pretty much ''everyone'' says this at some point or another in the third game, including {{spoiler|Mio to a passed away Mayu}}.
** {{spoiler|The deceased Madoka}} from the fourth game says this as well, along with "Tasukete!" ("Help me!")
* [[Plotline Death]]: {{spoiler|Mafuyu Hinasaki, Mayu Amakura, Madoka Tsukimori, and Kei Amakura}}, assuming that [[Failure Is the Only Option]] is true of the whole series. Note: You can save {{spoiler|Kei Amakura}} in a [[New Game Plus+]] by doing a certain sidequest.
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Mafuyu for Miku, after the suicide of their mother.
* [[Protectorate]]: Mayu
Line 174:
** Somewhat averted in the third game since {{spoiler|Yuu tells Rei '''not''' to die, but to carry on his memories and go on living}}.
* [[Sensor Suspense]]: Whenever hunting for hidden ghosts, or whenever dealing with ghosts that like to pop up behind you or hide.
* [[Shadow Discretion Shot]]: In the third game, people who fall victim to the Manor of Sleep's curse vanish into an ashen outline. {{spoiler|This includes Kei Amakura if the player isn't playing a [[New Game Plus+]]}}.
* [[She Will Come for Me]]: When Sae was captured after her and Yae's attempted escape from the village, Sae's only thought was that Yae would come back for her.
* [[Smashing Survival]]: The Confirm button for the second game (X on [[PS 2]] and A on Xbox), R1 for the third, and waggling the Wii-mote for the fourth when a ghost gets far too close for comfort, so as long the Evade function is equipped. The first game? Better hope your reflexes and timing is good.
