{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes found in this game include ===
 
* [[Action Girl]]: Neraine and Sisily.
* [[An Adventurer Is You]]: The characters' abilities tend toward a few different endgame builds:
Line 23 ⟶ 22:
** The Hanged Man: [[Mighty Glacier]] (he can't even move).
** The Death: [[Mighty Glacier]], with [[Life Drain]] and no magic.
* [[All in Aa Row]]
* [[Armor-Piercing Attack]]: The Death's Iron Maiden skill.
** Gelyan's Armor Crusher skill actually deals ''more'' damage the higher the opponent's defense is.
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|Reciful}} in the main storyline.
* [[Bonus Boss]]: Tale Memory in the first game.
** Defeating it is necessary to work towards [[Hundred-Percent100% Completion]], and a future update will provide an item, upon defeating the memory, that allows you to port your stats and perks to the <s> second</s> third game (which will take a while). Thus, this can be considered "subverted".
*** Though Tale Memory is the hardest [[Bonus Boss]], there are numerous other optional bosses as well, most notably the Holy Egg, which is fought at the end of a long sidequest chain.
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: Sisily's second tarot card, The Lovers, is unlocked by donating to the game creator.
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Gelyan.
** In response to Nera's decision not to help: "TWO. BIG. SWORDS."
* [[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points]]: Soul Pact.
** Soulbursts are extreme versions of this; they ''reduce the Tarot's HP to zero'', but are extremely useful.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Sisily.
* [[Chained Byby Fashion]]: The Hanged Man.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: {{spoiler|Gelyan.}}
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: A lot of the characters' outfits reflect their element and/or personality. Elements are also named by their color (I.E. {{color|yellow|Yellow}} is basically electric attacks, {{color|blue|Blue}} is ice, and {{color|red|Red}} is fire.)
Line 58 ⟶ 57:
* [[Genre Shift]]: From Ge.Ne.Sis: Down the Road of Tales, a tactical RPG, to Wings of Genesis, a [[Shoot'Em Up]].
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Gelyan knows exactly why the Bandits' cave starts shaking once Nera touches the {{spoiler|Fate Diary}}.
{{quote| '''Gelyan''': Neraine, get away from the book!<br />
'''Neraine''': What, an earthquake?<br />
'''Gelyan''': According to popular cliches, when somebody enters a treasure cave and touches something they're not supposed to, the cave collapses! }}
* [[Grim Reaper]] / [[Distaff Counterpart]]: The Tarot Death.
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: Emi.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Finding good stat builds for characters in some cases.
** Possibly also the Holy Egg. The reason for this is that if the "clock" on it is at a certain point, its resistances block either physical or magical attacks. It is not apparenty why, but the hands move based on the time of the player's computer (so it changes resistances the first round it gets when the time is either XX:30 or XX:00)
* [[Guile Hero]] / [[Magnificent Bastard]] [[Heel Face Revolving Door|(it's hard to tell)]]: {{spoiler|Gelyan.}}
* [[Handsome Lech]]: The only male main character is Gelyan... And he takes advantage of this fact by hitting on everyone.
Line 73 ⟶ 72:
* [[Impossibly Cool Weapon]]: All over the place. Nera's twin ice [[BFS|BFSs]], Gelyan's gun, Sisily's BFS with a [[Buffy-Speak|circular...chainsaw...thing...]] And that's only for the heroes, during the first game. The second one ups the ante with stuff like Nera's dual ice '''bayonettes'''.
* [[It Amused Me]]: Pretty much the only reason [[Chaotic Neutral|Gelyan]] does anything.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Neraine.
* [[Les Yay]]: Sisily and Emi.
** Sisily also gets a new attack called 'Electrify Kisses' after Emi, a yellow (electric) natured side character, <s>transfers her spiritual power</s> gives her a smooch. Sisily claims she doesn't swing that way, but we know better.
Line 88 ⟶ 87:
* [[Opening the Sandbox]]
* [[Parasol of Pain]]: Reciful's [[Weapon of Choice]].
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Sisily and the Magician.
* [[Point Build System]]: And gods help you if you mess it up; you only get one chance to reset a single character's attributes -- and you have three characters.
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: {{spoiler|Gelyan, it wasn't necessary to betray them, ya know...}}
Line 103 ⟶ 102:
* [[Stable Time Loop]]: {{spoiler|The characters go back in time to administer a potion to Chio...the result of which, of course, was what originally led to them being able to get the potion (and go back in time) in the first place.}}
* [[Summon Magic]]: The Tarot cards.
* [[Taking You Withwith Me]]: Soulbursts are usually like this.
* [[Tarot Motifs]]: The summonings.
* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: Tinkfi.
