Line 24:
* [[Amazing Technicolor Battlefield]]: The multi-form [[Final Boss]]. Can also be created by the player if they summon their respective Dragons or use a Dragoon Special.
* [[Ancient Conspiracy]]: Several, each trying to manipulate events to their own ends since the Dragon Campaign.
* [[Anti -Grinding]]: Non-boss enemies hand out pitiful amounts of XP while Additions and Dragoon levels are easy enough to level up that you don't even need to grind.
* [[Apocalypse Maiden]]: The Moon Children.
* [[Arm Cannon]]: Super Virages, as well as the Divine Dragoon.
Line 62:
** [[Shock and Awe]]: The Dragoon of the Violet Dragon.
* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Of the "mutually strong against/weak to" type. Light opposes Dark, Fire opposes Water, and Earth opposes Wind. Thunder and Divine/Null are neutral, neither advantaged nor disadvantaged against other elements.
* [[Eleventh -Hour Superpower]]: Right before the final battle, {{spoiler|Dart gets the Divine Dragoon Spirit and Rose the Dragon Buster sword from a dying Lloyd.}}
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Virages were used by Winglies to combat the Dragons in the Dragon Campaign. In game, Greham, Doel, Gehrich, Lenus and {{spoiler|Zieg}} become this to the respective members of your party, not necessarily matching up on elemental lines.
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: The Winglies in their heyday dabbled in this, resulting in entire cities devoted to [[Designer Babies|the regulated birth and abortion of Winglies based on their magical potential]] and the siphoning of all the world's dead souls into Hell.
Line 72:
* [[Flower Motifs]]: Roses are played with for three characters. First is obviously Rose herself, with the standard beautiful exterior and thorny personality. Second is Miranda, who has a hatred for roses because they were the favorite flower of her abusive mother. Third is with Albert, whose Rose Storm spell uses roses to symbolize royalty and revolution, in contrast to the [[Cherry Blossoms|Blossom Storm]] spell used by Lavitz.
* [[Foil]]: The original Dragoons are this for the current ones, highlighting the dominant trait for most of them to imply [[Generation Xerox]]. {{spoiler|Rose, Zieg}} and Kanzas are the biggest examples as they highlight what Rose used to be and what Dart and Haschel could be had they taken a single wrong turn in life.
* [[Four -Girl Ensemble]]: The four Sacred Sisters of Mille Seseau.
** First Sacred Sister Miranda: The mannish one, she appears to be in command of the Mille Seseau military and hands out [[Armor-Piercing Slap|Armor Piercing Slaps]] on a regular basis.
** Second Sacred Sister Luanna: The wise one, she's spiritually empathic and able to detect a person's true feelings.
Line 103:
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: Dart's attitude towards Shana. He snaps out of it by the end of disc two.
* [[Lost Tribe]]: The dragons, obviously.
* [[Luck -Based Mission]]: [[That One Boss|Lenus]] can turn into this. She can spam four or more attacks at once in the later stages of the battle, and one of her attacks ''will'' hit your whole party for 1/3 to 1/2 of their HP. If you get to this point, you're pretty much reduced to praying she doesn't use that more than once in a turn. Not going into Dragoon form can help lower the number of attacks she does but she will always hit hard regardless of what you do.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: The end of disc three.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: The Divine Dragon can do this, apparently utilizing some kind of [[Organic Technology|organic howitzer]] growing from its body. {{spoiler|Dart gets this ability once he acquires the Divine Dragoon Spirit, and it's appropriately fired from his shoulders.}}
Line 140:
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Some of the (animated!) CG backdrops are drop-dead gorgeous to look at.
* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: The [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|God of Destruction]].
* [[Second -Hour Superpower]]: The Dragoon Spirits for Dart and Rose and their abilities are revealed about a quarter of the way through the first disc.
* [[Shaping Your Attacks]]: Some magics.
* [[Sheathe Your Sword]]: The encounter with Shirley.
* [[Slippy -Slidey Ice World]]: Kashua Glacier.
* [[Sprite Polygon Mix]]
* [[Storming the Castle]]: Doel's Black Castle in Kazas at the endgame of disc one.
Line 168:
* [[World Tree]]: The Divine Tree.
* [[You Can't Thwart Stage One]]
* [[You Kill It, You Bought It]]: Three of the Dragoon Spirits pick their new masters after the good guys kill off the old ones. All seven of the original Dragoons received their spirits when they killed the corresponding dragon.
* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: At the end of discs two and three.
