Line 1: {{work}} * [[Alas, Poor Scrappy]]: {{spoiler\|Franny}}, to some people. * [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Dietrich. {{spoiler\|While justified, it can be a little jarring to see how (apart from his event in Gunnitz) very little mention about his brother doesn't seem to bother him at all, almost to the point they are complete strangers.}}.▼ * [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Arguably, most of {{spoiler\|Lugovalos' commanding officers, given how much attention was paid to the Merril/Ursula relationship}}. ▲* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Dietrich. {{spoiler\|While justified, it can be a little jarring to see how (apart from his event in Gunnitz) very little mention about his brother doesn't seem to bother him at all, almost to the point they are complete strangers.}} * [[Cliché Storm]]: Abso-freaking-lutely, especially with regards to characterization. * [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: {{spoiler\|Katida}}'s recruitment scene, where Yuri tells her that {{spoiler\|after ten years, he is finally able to fulfill his promise to take her to the sea of stars, while holding her hand}}. Yes, sounds cheesy, but aww... * [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: {{spoiler\|Most of}} Act 2 map theme, the regular battle theme, and the track that plays when your ship docks on normal occasion. * [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Line 10 ⟶ 8: Lord Roth. Neal Baecker. ** The Schneizer brothers, to some extent. * [[Evil Is Sexy]]: {{spoiler\|Katida if she doesn't join your crew in Act 2.}}. * [[Fridge Brilliance]]: {{spoiler\|The developers used [[Parental Abandonment]] with Yuri to hide the fact he's a [[Artificial Human]]. Since this is a JRPG you won't question it and forget about it. Then it gets brought up and used as proof as his status as one.}} * [[Fridge Horror]]: {{spoiler\|So that [[Dyson Sphere]] around the Sun? That means all life on Earth is dead and it's just a lifeless dustball now.}} {{spoiler\|Except that we clearly see green on the surface. That alone is evidence that at least plant life survived. How, on the other hand, is another matter entirely.}} Chemosynthesis. And assume that the green is inherited and just never evolved out, because it's not really a detriment to survival. * [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: A few of them. At one point in the game, {{spoiler\|Nia lightheartedly tells Celina that she plans to live longer than her. Guess who dies first}}. Later in the game, {{spoiler\|Nia (yes, again) tells Yuri that she will kiss him when nobody is around, causing Kira to freak out. Cue [[First Kiss]] / [[Now or Never Kiss]] / [[Last Kiss]]}}. After the battle against Orders in Act 2, {{spoiler\|Roth cries over his damaged-beyond-repair ship in such childish manner}}. This will remain funny if you recruit {{spoiler\|Katida}}, but if you don't, {{spoiler\|cue the final battle against Lugovalos, where Roth (already badly injured) overloads his ship's high-stream blaster to defeat Katida, guaranteeing his ship will be destroyed for sure}}. An event that allows Princess Glorinda to be recruited has PM Falko asks Yuri if he has "special someone", in which if Yuri answered "yes", Torlo will (perhaps jokingly) states that his "special someone" is [[Brother-Sister Incest\|Kira]]. {{spoiler\|Later, after the battle against Lugovalos is over, Torlo and Tatiana tell Yuri that he should find a girlfriend, and their suggestion? Glorinda. Granted, [[Ret-Gone\|Yuri is the only one who remembers Kira]], but considering what happened, it's really harsh.}}. * [[Genius Bonus]]: The names in the list of highest-ranked space pirates include the names of real-life corsairs and privateers like [http://www.cosmosmith.com/kennedy.html Walter Kennedy] and [[wikipedia:Samuel Mason\|Samuel Mason]]. ** One of the first clues you can get regarding what happened in the Irvest sector is that the speed of light has changed in the area. {{spoiler\|Or, in physics terms, Irvest Sector has just gotten bigger.}}. * [[Goddamned Bats]]: Almost ''anything'' you fight before you gain access to ships those will match the enemies, even in [[New Game+]]. The LMC pirate ships (Sodality, Junkyard, and Fellowship) are the most notable examples, since they're fast and have high durability compared to your SMC ships. They are also not very worth fighting since the reward is so small (except when they appear along with Hestia, which will drop a large sum of money), so it's usually better just to run away. * [[Hell Is That Noise]]: The screams you hear upon entering the Flux Sector for the first time. * [[Ho Yay]]: [[Foe Yay\|Cico]] is just a little too... obsessed with Yuri. Dietrich is also really fond of him. * [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Valantin. Sure, he pinches your dad's Epitaph and stabs out your eye when you first meet, but it's hard to hate him. Him not being a villain does not help. * [[Moe]]: Nia's younger self definitely qualifies. As does Alik. * [[Player Punch]]: Everything that isn't epic or funny in the game. The best example is when you just fought your way through a bunch of pirates and had to go through a dense meteorite storm to rescue a hostage that seems to be a new crew member. {{spoiler\|You get to her, and when you move her out of her cell, you realize too late that she was rigged with explosives. And she wasn't dead.}} .▼ * [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Flux Space, {{spoiler\|Desmond Gate, Rubriko's clones, the Phages}}... plenty of stuffs in this game can be disturbing, actually. She doesn't have to die if you decide to execute {{spoiler\|Argun}}, but she won't join your crew anyway.▼ If fighting Mikelo ''five times'' isn't enough to freak you out, then {{spoiler\|watching how his spare bodies suddenly come to life while screaming and such before all of them fall to the ground}} should do. * [[Rescued ~~From~~from the Scrappy Heap]]: Katida is not well-liked as a teammate, especially since she's a pain in the ass to recruit, but {{spoiler\|if she gets a [[Face Heel Turn]], she suddenly becomes a chillingly well-done villain.}}.▼ ** {{spoiler\|The artificial Epitaph that Professor Minas created caused Trevor to merge with the Dead Gate nearby, turning said gate into some sort of primitive life force that will attack anything nearby.}} * [[The Scrappy]]: With [[Loads and Loads of Characters]], it is inevitable to have some characters thrown into the Scrappy heap. ▼ ▲* [[Player Punch]]: Everything that isn't epic or funny in the game. The best example is when you just fought your way through a bunch of pirates and had to go through a dense meteorite storm to rescue a hostage that seems to be a new crew member. {{spoiler\|You get to her and when you move her out of her cell you realize too late that she was rigged with explosives. And she wasn't dead.}} ▲** She doesn't have to die if you decide to execute {{spoiler\|Argun}}, but she won't join your crew anyway. ▲* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: Katida is not well-liked as a teammate, especially since she's a pain in the ass to recruit, but {{spoiler\|if she gets a [[Face Heel Turn]], she suddenly becomes a chillingly well-done villain.}} ▲* [[The Scrappy]]: With [[Loads and Loads of Characters]], it is inevitable to have some characters thrown into the Scrappy heap. Franny is probably the most obvious example, as she is generally hated for annoying personality and low stats. Katida. Some players dislike her personality, some others hate her {{spoiler\|after all of the troubles to recruit her, she doesn't have any story importance whatsoever other than to avoid Roth and Nele from being killed}}. Line 44 ⟶ 36: To add to that, {{spoiler\|Katida}}, for [[Guide Dang It\|all the trouble you go through to recruit]], doesn't get any sort of story (save for a minor event between Kira and her) in the second half of the game other than you rescuing her and becoming a permanent part of your crew. Although to be fair, {{spoiler\|having Katida in your party will prevent the [[Mummies At the Dinner Table]] above from happening}}. Arguably, how several plot-important characters' past (particularly Nia) are never brought up at all falls into this trope. ** No, people, {{spoiler\|we wouldn't actually travel the Magellanic Stream. Which was hyped up as the most dangerous route in the universe and nigh-impassable.}}. * [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Depending on how you play it, the recruitment of {{spoiler\|Katida}} can be one. If you {{spoiler\|yell at the [[Spoiled Sweet]] rich girl, she becomes a passive, helpless victim, who accepts a forced and loveless marriage to a [[Smug Snake]], does nothing but wait for you to rescue her, and when you do, has utterly useless stats as a crewmember}}. If, on the other hand, you {{spoiler\|try to reason with her, she becomes an independent, assertive person who takes her destiny into her own hands. Rather than wait for you to fulfil your promise to her to take her to the stars, she finds a way to get to the stars herself, refuses the arranged marriage, and chooses her own lover. You never get to see her stats, but it is implied and shown several times that she has become a very effective fleet commander capable of notching impressive victories against quality opponents in battle. But she also ends up [[Axe Crazy]]}}. {{reflist}} [[Category:Infinite Space]]▼ [[Category:YMMV]] ▲[[Category:~~Infinite Space~~{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]
