Line 46:
* [[Affably Evil]]: Seymour and, to some extent, the other Maesters ({{spoiler|except Kelk, who seems to be genuinely good}}).
* [[A Friend in Need]]: The whole party of guardians fight to rescue Yuna from {{spoiler|her wedding to Seymour}}, despite effectively declaring war on the Yevon church.
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]:
** {{spoiler|Kinoc.}} He's not an especially likable character, but he was back stabbed by his own partner. In fairness, he really should have seen it coming. On the other hand, [[Ensemble Darkhorse|someone will miss him.]]
{{quote|'''Auron''': Although he was not the man I once knew, {{spoiler|Kinoc}} was still my friend, Seymour. [[Badass Boast|You will pay for his death!]]}}
** Seymour, especially upon {{spoiler|his final sending}}.
{{quote|'''Seymour:''' So it is you [Yuna] who will send me. But even after death, Spira's sorrow will prevail.}}
* [[All Just a Dream]]: [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]], bizarrely enough. {{spoiler|The ''main character'' is all just a dream.}}
* [[Always a Bigger Fish]]
* [[And Man Grew Proud]]: Tidus thinks this is in effect when hears about the ruins, but its more....complicated than that.
* [[And Now You Must Marry Me]]: Part of Seymour's agenda is to get Yuna to marry him.
* [[Antidote Effect]]: Played straight until you can customize weapons.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: {{spoiler|Played straight with Jecht and Yu Yevon - both are type IV.}}
Line 105 ⟶ 108:
* [[Death By Pragmatism]]: The Al Bhed at Operation Mi'ihen. Full-on frontal assaults against Sin don't work unless you're the designated heroes.
** This is revealed to be a plot by {{spoiler|the Yevon clergy in order to solidify their (and Sin's) dominion over Spira}}. They let the Al Bhed and the Crusaders believe they stood a chance so that, when Sin destroyed them, they could point to them as heretics who got what was coming to them. {{spoiler|Of course, Cid's assault on Sin using the airship proves that machina ''could'' have damaged Sin, at least up to a point, and this is what the Church was trying to hide}}.
* [[Deconstruction Fic]]: Quite a few, about how much it would hurt to accompany your surrogate baby sister to her inevitable death, which everyone (including her) wants to happen. In the Sequel, fics about Yuna hiding her pain.
* [[Did Not Get the Girl|Did Not Get the Guy]]: In the ending, {{spoiler|played straight with Tidus disappearing and going to the Farplane.}}
** {{spoiler|Averted in the sequel.}}
Line 112 ⟶ 116:
* [[Doomed Hometown]]: Zanarkand
* [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler|Jecht as Sin is this to the true [[Big Bad]], Yu Yevon. But defeating Jecht is the emotional climax of the story, not to mention that whole [[Anticlimax Boss]] thing...}}
* [[Dude, Not Funny]]:
** [[Invoked]]:
{{Quote|'''Jecht:''' You've really grown.
'''Tidus:''' Yeah, but you're still bigger.
'''Jecht:''' Well, I am Sin, you know.
'''Tidus:''' That's not funny.}}
** Another example occurs when Wakka, trying to cheer Rikku up, makes a rather tasteless joke as the Al Bhed prepare to destroy Home. Rikku quite rightly chews him out for it, and if you speak to Wakka afterward, he admits that he really ought to have "kept his big mouth shut."
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Sin is a giant aquatic beast that cannot be harmed by anything except OTHER [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]. Even then, its core ({{spoiler|Yu Yevon}}) will just possess the Aeon that killed Sin and grow into a new Sin within years.
** Some of the regular Aeons qualify as well. Anima might be terrifying when you see her face, but it's nothing compared to her full body. The fact that her power is based on pain itself doesn't help.
Line 132 ⟶ 143:
** {{spoiler|In a subversion, Auron, for ''succeeding'' in protecting his summoner, thus starting the next round of the [[Vicious Cycle]].}}
* [[Fairytale Wedding Dress]]: {{spoiler|Yuna}} wears one when {{spoiler|she's about to marry Seymour}}.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: {{spoiler|Yunalesca}} starts off in her oh-so-revealing metal bikini, then you have her subsequent forms, which are anything but fanservice material.
* [[Fan Service]]: All over the place. If we listed examples, it'd be half the page.
** The other half would just be the words "Auron" and "Badass".
Line 242 ⟶ 254:
'''Rin''': I have confidence in your success. }}
* [[Not Completely Useless]]: Kimahri's much more useful than many people give him credit for because of how adaptable he can be. Depending on the abilities you give him, he can function as a valuable backup mage, inflict additional status effects, and so on. On top of that, he's the only other party member besides Auron whose weapons usually have the Piercing trait, which can be pretty useful at the start of the game before Auron actually joins you.
* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: The second half of the final dungeon. The tense music cranks the [[Paranoia Fuel|paranoia]] all the way up, and those damn pieces of the floor that suddenly bar your path with a [[Jump Scare|loud noise]] certainly don't help. [[It Got Worse|It gets worse]] when you have the No Encounters ability equipped, preventing random encounters from breaking the tension.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Tidus is generally not guilty of this, because he really ''is'' new to Spira. But when Wakka shows him the "Yevon prayer", which Tidus knows as the blitzball "victory" sign, he seems to be deliberately doing it much more shakily than he'd know how to do.
* [[The Obi Wrong]]: Auron
