Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon: Difference between revisions

* [[Bilingual Bonus]] - While voices and game text can be taken in English, all the scenery and even the credits are in Japanese. While the game helpfully translates the more important phrases (i.e. information that might prove valuable) when examined in first-person, a vast majority remains the same as it would be in Japan. If you can read Japanese, you'll at least be able to read the vending machines and graffiti.

* [[Bishounen]] - Crow, and arguably Shin

** [[Cute Kitten]] - The game uses this to its full advantage, allowing Seto to play with or feed the stray cats.

* [[Cherry Tapping]] - It's completely possible to defeat the final boss with nothing but a broken stick. quite hilarious when you think {{spoiler|"holy crap a fifteen year old boy just beat down an insane thunder spirit}} with a broken stick"

* [[Crapsack World]] - Possibly: Sai states the world was already at war {{spoiler|before the Glass Cage was activated}}; it was the whole reason behind humanity saying "yes" to the whole thing in the first place.

* [[Cute Ghost Girl]] - Sai's an attractive girl with a killer figure.

* [[Defanged Horrors]]: ''Most'' of the enemies in the game are just creepy and scarey rather than truly nightmarish or horrifying. With emphasis on relationships and friendship, some call it Silent Hill for children.

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]] - The description for the cat food item: "Cats love this, but they cannot open it because they are cats."

* [[Life Imitates Art]]: Compare the game's abandoned locations with the [http://abandonedjapan.tumblr.com/ similarly abandoned], [http://www.tofugu.com/2011/08/17/japans-abandoned-amusement-parks-creepy/ left-to-rot] [[Real Life]] locations in rural Japan.

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Shin]]. Oh, and the Aurora Borealis appearing in the sky? [[Kill'Em All|A very, very bad sign]]}}.

* [[Loving a Shadow]]: The Merchant collects and scrounges around for anything shiny {{spoiler|so his "princess" can smile again. Unfortunately, the "princess" died in her cradle; the sad part is the Merchant doesn't even realize this even when Seto wants to tell the truth. If it wasn't for Sai, the Merchant might've killed the boy on the spot}}.

* [[Melancholy Moon]], [[Weird Moon]] - The moon in the setting with the train tracks appears a lot larger than the real one in other environments. Regardless, the moon is a prominent symbol in the game, highlighting the isolation and loneliness aspects as the player controls Seto walking through abandoned environments devoid of humans.

* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: {{spoiler|The effects of the Glass Cage left behind "Thought Processes", the remaining thoughts of humans who died and left their residual emotions in the world, such as Chiyo and Sai. This is achieved through [[Big Sleep]], with the various Memory Items hinting and outright implying its occurence following Glass Cage's first activation}}.

* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Seto and everyone he comes across, basically. It's the whole point of the game: Seto's looking for a companion. This creates a lot of [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming moments]] as well as [[Tear Jerker|Tear Jerkers]] when Seto is left alone again, time after time. Notably, the exceptions to this trope are Ren and {{spoiler|Sai}}, and that's because it's instead...

* [[Psycho Electro]]: {{spoiler|Shin}} is a ''major'' aversion: while he ''does'' have [[Shock and Awe]] and ''is'' the [[Big Bad]], he's a very [[The Stoic|calm and collected person]], and never seems particularly insane except for his irritation with vocal communication (which he mainly uses to deflect questions about his actions). {{spoiler|He only freaks out during his [[Motive Rant]], and Sai makes him [[Heel Face Turn]] in the middle of it following her declaration of love}}.

* [[Ridiculously Human Robot]]: PF {{spoiler|and Crow}}
