Line 41:
** [[Badass Princess]]: Eirika, Tana, and L'Arachel.
** [[Badass Teacher]]: Saleh (as Ewan's magic instructor)
** [[Four -Star Badass]]: Ephraim, Eirika, and Innes are by virtue of commanding their nation's best fighters and by being the ranking combat worthy nobles. Duessel was already one when he joins your cause.
** [[Lady of War]]: Eirika, Syrene, Vanessa. Tana, Amelia, Marisa and Neimi grow into these too.
** [[One-Man Army]]: Seth starts as this in the beginning of the game, and unlike most [[Crutch Character|Jeigans]], he's still quite viable as a mounted dealer of death by the end of the game.
Line 52:
* [[Brutal Bonus Level]]: Lagdou Ruins, unlocked after completing the main story.
* [[Came Back Wrong]]: [[Empty Shell|Orson's wife]] and [[Damaged Soul|Emperor Vigarde of Grado]] both died and were resurrected with the power of the stones. Vigarde promptly crumbled to dust when Ephraim defeated him. And the less said of [[Nightmare Fuel|Monica]], the better.
* [[Character -Magnetic Team]]: Regardless of which route you take, you'll still run into all the recruitable characters (bar two, who join with the other twin when you meet back up) on both Ephraim and Eirika's routes, in spite of the routes taking place simultaneously on opposite ends of the continent.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: L'Arachel and Dozla are ''energetic'' versions of this, much to Rennac's dismay and Eirika's confusion. Lute falls somewhere between this and [[Strange Girl]].
* [[Climax Boss]]:
Line 64:
** By the end of the game, when Myrrh decides to fight for Ephraim, you'll probably be using her most of the time, because of her ability to one-hit most enemies, including bosses. She's kind of a Late Game Crutch Character.
** This is probably ''most'' played with {{spoiler|Orson, who performs a [[Wutai Theft]] on you.}}
* [[Dark Magical Girl]]: Oh, Selena. In terms of personality, she's actually a decent person, just chained by [[My Country, Right or Wrong|Grado's will.]]
** Lyon and Knoll are gender flipped versions.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Knoll, Ewan if made a Druid or Summoner, Lyon before hitting the [[Despair Event Horizon]], and the Sacred Twins of Grado: The Black Axe, Garm, and a dark magic tome, Gleipnir.
Line 103:
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: Colm, but only to Neimi. Also Innes, though sometimes he's just an outright [[Jerkass]].
* '''[[Large Ham|LARGE HAM]]''': '''[[No Indoor Voice|L'ARACHEL, PRINCESS OF THE DIVINE THEOCRACY OF RAUSTEN]].
* [[Let's Split Up, Gang!]]: After Chapter 8, you have the choice of two completely separate paths, Eirika or Ephraim. The recruitable characters follow whichever lord you choose, and everybody reunites in Chapter 15. In addition, you recruit the same characters although at different times.
* [[Level Grinding]]: The primary reason fans dislike this one, as every other game (bar Gaiden) has only Arena Abuse (risky without save states) Boss Abuse (takes forever, also risky and limited by weapon durability) and infinite reinforcements (very rare, generally happens very late or is intended to be very dangerous and also limited by durability) allow for more XP than "normal".
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: While everyone can become this to a certain extent with stat-ups, Gerik starts out as one and gets ''better''. Amelia will become one if she promotes into a General.
Line 144:
* [[The Remnant]]: While called that, The Grado Remnant are still led by the Prince after the Emperor's death and are not a really straight example.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Artur, if you don't pair him with Lute. Innes and Tana, if you don't pair them with Eirika and Ephraim, respectively. {{spoiler|It doesn't matter ''what'' you do, [[Tear Jerker|Lyon ends up as this to Eirika]].}}
* [[Wacky Wayside Tribe]]: Eirika's half of the [[Let's Split Up, Gang!]] sequence between her and Ephraim begins to feel like this when you compare her achievements to those of Ephraim's. She {{spoiler|fights some mercenaries, some monsters, fails to save Jehanna's sacred stone, queen, or royal castle, and ends up being saved by Ephraim when they meet up again}}. By comparison, Ephraim {{spoiler|wins over one of the Empire's Generals, kills another, sinks the Ghost Ship, sack the Imperial Royal City, and kills Emperor Vigarde, pretty much neutralizing most of the Grado Empire as a threat and with five chapters still to go.}} Despite this, Eirika's route is generally agreed to be the more difficult one in terms of [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|gameplay]]. <ref>One thing that also helps Ephraim is that even though his caps are poor; he has a powerful-enough weapon to carry him through the game until he gets his unique weapon</ref>
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Ephraim is a studied soldier and military tactician. Eirika's skill has always been in politics, which mean little when dealing with an army driven by an ancient demon. Of course it would be more difficult for her.
* [[Warrior Prince]]: Several, but especially [[Lightning Bruiser|Ephraim]].
Line 150:
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|Lyon.}}
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: A fair few characters from '''G'''rado are blonde, blue-eyed, and fair-skinned, while the higher-ups [[World War II|invade neutral countries and allies without provocation]].
** Also Eirika and Ephraim's [[Eleventh -Hour Superpower|holy weapons]] are called Seiglinde and Seigmund respectively, named after [[Brother-Sister Incest|incestuous siblings]] in [[Norse Mythology]].
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: The game doesn't really tell you the details of what happened along the other twin's route, so certain story important details, including the fates of certain characters, are suddenly never touched on again. You obviously need to play both routes to get the whole picture.
** One of the houses in chapter 15 does give you the general idea of what happened to {{spoiler|Glen and Selena; they both died.}}
* [[WrittenbytheWritten By the Winners]]: A version of this occurs in the game, in regards to the defeat of the Demon King 800 years ago. {{spoiler|It turns out that Morva - leader of the Manaketes - led the ''Five Heroes'', and they defeated Fomortiis. However, in the nations the human heroes founded, there is no mention of Morva or his help. The people of Caer Pelyn are rather unhappy about this, believing the other nations are being ungrateful to the Great Dragon.}}
