Line 37:
** Since you have [[What the Hell, Hero?|to reveal the whereabouts of an escaped slave to an incredibly sinister hooded slave trader]] to get all 50 gems, you could say that this is just [[Laser-Guided Karma]]!
* [[Catch a Falling Star]]: Used and subverted.
* [[
* [[Controllable Helplessness]]: There's nothing you can do to get out of the prison cell in Edward Castle faster, even though you can walk around and examine things. The same is true of the shipwreck sequence.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: To say that {{spoiler|Rolek}} engages in shady activities is to say that the ocean is damp. That said, it may be because {{spoiler|Neil's parents were replaced with demons}}.
Line 101:
* [[Russian Roulette]]: The Russian Glass game. {{spoiler|Your opponent is [[Death Seeker|playing to lose]].}}
* [[The Sacred Darkness]]: Will's powers use Gaia's "Dark Energy", and there are no negative connotations associated with them. Not that there aren't bad darkness powers; the [[Final Boss]] is called "Dark Gaia".
* [[
** Early in the game, Will is asked to pick a card. No matter what the player picks, it is the right one.
** Later in the game there is a [[Wire Dilemma]], but both wires are the right one.<ref>The bomb only explodes if the timer runs out ''and'' you haven't beaten the accompanying [[Dual Boss]] yet.</ref>
Line 109:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Several to Enix's other SNES games.
** The dog that rescues you is named [[Soul Blazer|Turbo]].
** The Skeleton head enemy from [[
** The Moon Tribe looks like a spirit enemy from [[Soul Blazer]].
** Just watch a [[Let's Play]] of ''[[
* [[Show, Don't Tell]]: During the raft sequence; {{spoiler|rather than show us exactly why [[Romantic Plot Tumor|Will suddenly falls in love with Kara]], what he sees in her, etc., we're simply told that he "realized he had feelings for [her]". That's pretty much all we have to go on their romance.}}
** Gaia even ''lampshades'' that despite how close they became over the course of their adventure, neither of them found anything interesting about each other at first, and they shouldn't be so obsessive about it. {{spoiler|They find each other on the restored Earth, and though they are presumably happy together, it's doubtful they'll ever realize the relevance of it.}}
Line 119:
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To ''Soul Blazer'' (to the point where a leaked early translation was titled ''Soul Blazer: Illusion of Gaia''). And ''[[Terranigma]]'' is one to this.
* [[Swiss Army Hero]]: Will has three forms he can change between.
* [[Sword Beam]]: Your [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]] is functionally this. Sort of like in [[
* [[Taken for Granite]]: An effect of exposure to the comet encountered in the Natives' Village (and referenced in Mu).
* [[Team Pet]]: Hamlet, Kara's preternaturally smart pet pig.
