Line 35:
* [[Crapsack World]]: Akaneia really starts to seem like this in Book 2 and when you read up on its history.
* [[Conspicuous CG]]: The art style of ''Shadow Dragon''; improved slightly in ''New Mystery''.
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: The sidequest requirements in Shadow Dragon cause some pretty serious [[Mind Screw]] in New Mystery. Basically, ''everyone'' from Shadow Dragon returns alive and well in the sequal. While this was explained in the case of the scarifice in the prologue, the real problem is that Marth recognises ''all'' the sidequest-only characters, despite meeting them all in Shadow Dragon requiring practically ''all the other characters'' to be '''dead.''' Only one Shadow Dragon sidequest is explicitly stated to be non-canon: 24x (as Marth doesn't recognise Nagi) and that was the one with the ''least'' harsh requirements. Exactly how the others could of occured with everyone surviving just boggles the mind. Or maybe the sidequest requirements in the first game are just [[Canon Discontinuity]].
* [[Crutch Character]]: Jagen is a very well-known example and former [[Trope Namer]]. In the original, he has less than a 10% chance of raising each stat upon level up (with some having a ''0%'' chance), but starts decent compared to your level 1 unpromoted units. Arran replaces him in book 2 (Jagen is now Marth's tactician and doesn't fight) with only slightly better growths (Arran ''has'' a defense growth) and is ''worse'' than Jagen in the remake (his ''only'' advantage over a statsless replacement unit in growths is 10% extra luck growth).
** The remake gives Caeda a special weapon to compensate for her new inability (thanks to the introduction of weapon ranks) to grab Jagen's silver lance to compensate for her rather weak start.
