Like several titles of old, this game uses a [[Class and Level System]], here called the Crown System, but its unique variation lies in the fact that every character is essentially an [[Final Fantasy III|Onion Knight]] in that they can equip anything; the jobs instead affect their usable skillset. Powering up the crowns involves a unique form of leveling via the application of [[Vendor Trash|disposable]] gems.
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[YouAbility Must Be This TallRequired to EnterProceed]]: Abused frequently once you get the transform staff.
* [[Anachronic Order]]: The party splits up and joins up in different pairs at times, with each separate group's adventures happening simultaneously, with the [[Book Ends]] of some chapters making more sense when you see what the other party was doing. (e.g. {{spoiler|Brandt leaving Yunita to team up with a cat of all things ...who has a map ...because she's actually Aire.}})
* [[Animal Talk]]: You can talk to any animal in animal form.
Line 31:
* [[Copy Protection]]: If you pirate the game, the enemies have infinite HP.
* [[Crapsack World]]: Even if you discount the fact that {{spoiler|demons are apparently running everything behind the scenes}}, and instead just take everything at face value, most of the places you visit aren't very inviting places to live. Horne doesn't seem so bad {{spoiler|until everyone is turned to stone}}, and Liberte's pretty nice (except for the pirate kidnappings), but every other city? Hoo boy.
** Guera: {{spoiler|The residents are trapped by a vicious sand demon and no one has entered or left the city in years. Also, an entire race of people was wiped out save for a [[Sole Survivor]].}}<br />Arbor: {{spoiler|The fairies dislike and distrust humans so much that any human who approaches Arbor, even if they mean no harm, is transformed into a plant. No, the fairies won't help you. You get to stay like that.}}<br />Urbeth: {{spoiler|A town obsessed with money, where the poor are barely dressed in rags, are barely able to eat, and are treated like second-class citizens.}}<br />Invidia: {{spoiler|It's constantly freezing, everyone is miserable, and it's ruled by a bitter man who is waiting on his son to finally come home to rule the world.}}<br />Spelvia: {{spoiler|Run by a misanthropic man who has been living with nothing but his hatred for hundreds of years. All of his robots are programmed to kill humans. Also, when the group finally manages to get him to let go of his hate, it turns out to be powerful enough to poison the rest of the world.}}
* [[Credits Medley]]
* [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]]: The Crystal prefaces granting you the {{spoiler|Dark Fencer}} crown with the rather ominous "To thee I grant this gift of might, upon thy head a crown of...forbidden might." Shortly afterward, King Horne presents you with the spell {{spoiler|Desolator}} with similar gravitas.
Line 129:
* [[Womb Level]]: The whirlpool at Liberte.
* [[World Tree]]: The Great Tree, from which all magic originates.
* [[You Must Be This Tall to Enter]]: Abused frequently once you get the transform staff.
