Line 13:
* [[Always Someone Better]]: Early on, Opoona learns that Poleena is also training as a ranger, and is already one star ahead of him. {{spoiler|They lied.}}
* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]]: {{spoiler|After Sanctuary, you take control of Poleena for a while.}}
* [[Anime Hair]]: Some of the Landrollians have really ridiculous hairstyles, like fountain-shaped ponytails and giant, six-inch hair spikes.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: {{spoiler|Captain Goldy}} serves the villains willingly, {{spoiler|but intends to redeem them himself. When he finds this is impossible, he humbly requests Opoona defeat them.}}
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Landfall was hit with a Class 0 over half the planet in the past, with [[The Corruption]] soon following.
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: {{spoiler|The Dark Bon Bon.}}
* [[Auto Revive]]: The Airbag Capsule.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: This is basically the Tizians' hat. To give you an idea, fighting injustice and evil is at the top of their planetary constitution.
* [[Berserker Rage]]: The Battle Monger Coat, which is your reward for one [[Collection Sidequest]]. Does lots of damage, but the character runs on auto.
Line 28:
** The White Monk in the Meditation Tower, which has HP comparable to Salamander without the bombs. As if to prove ''its'' point, it has as one of its [[Randomly Drops|rare drops]] an item which is otherwise only obtained through a lengthy [[Collection Sidequest]].
** The Apocalypse II, which makes itself a nuisance not by having lots of HP, but by having ''ludicrous'' defense, and by having singular attacks which do more damage than the ''final boss.'' Again, very rare and occurs in only one room. If you're not prepared, encountering just one can be a death sentence. It's possible to fight two at once. Better get ready to spam Armagebbon!
** You will also rarely encounter enemies in some areas who are ''much'' stronger than others, though it's rare.
* [[Bonus Dungeon]]: The Server Room, though it's not so much a "dungeon" as it is a [[Multi Mook Melee]].
* [[Bragging Rights Reward]]: Getting Ine to be your friend. [[Ambiguous Gender|(S)He]] will only befriend you if you become a famous ukelele musician; a task that takes more than ''fifty in-game days'' to complete. But there's really nothing special about him/her.
* [[Broken Bridge]]: Everything on Landroll is based around licenses, requiring you to raise your ranking to progress through the domes. Though unlike most examples of the trope this isn't coincidence, it's simply how the society works.
* [[Cain and Abel]]: Aizel and Shagla. When the time to determine the planet's leader came, the two brothers meditated in the Tower. Aizel was chosen, and Shagla was cast out, touched and consumed by darkness. {{spoiler|Because Aizel put them there, and he's been manipulated by Babuscha, who's manipulated by the Dark Bonbon.}}
* [[The Catfish]]: Legend.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: During your first day on Landroll<ref>technically your third, but you spent the first two in a [[Convenient Coma|coma]]</ref>, you meet a girl named Chaika and two odd-looking men, who complain about "not being allowed into the dome" due to being outsiders. Chaika ends up being plot-important much later, as pretty much the only other person on Landroll to multitask as much as Opoona does. And the two men {{spoiler|are from a secret outlaw town way out in the wilderness, who end up getting wrapped up in Poleena's portion of the plot.}}
Line 40:
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Though {{spoiler|the supposed "Dark Sage" Shagla is a [[Hero with Bad Publicity]].}}
* [[The Dark Side]]: Some use Dark Energy this way, however unlike most examples it doesn't take no for an answer. And will quickly become [[The Corruption]] instead.
* [[Degraded Boss]]: Two versions. One early boss, Flamehead, pops up in numerous fights later in Intelligent Sea. Also, many monsters appear early on as "supporters" to another boss (like the Moon Witch), then pop up later as regular enemies.
* {{spoiler|[[Dying as Yourself]]}}
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Besides spells that are organized into elements, there are also the elemental spirits. After proving your strength to them, they will begin to show up to help you with their spells during battle.
* [[Precious Puppies]]: The seven puppies which help with the tutorial, as well as a later [[Gotta Catch Em All|sidequest]].
* [[Fantastic Caste System]]: Everyone is given a job suiting to them in childhood. However they have quite a bit of say in the decision, and can take on secondary classes if they like. Played more straight with Sages, who are only allowed to hold a single job, as they work as both healers and government officials. Also those who were born outside the domes, or exiled, are not allowed in.
* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]: Seems to be popular on Landroll.
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: The Fire, Ice, and Thunder Coats, which also have upgrades in the Solar Coat, Frozen Coat, and Plasma Coat. There's also elementals known as the Fire Hair, Plasma Hair, and Ice Hair.
* [[Fishing Minigame]]: A very simple one which uses the battle engine, however instead of a bonbon you use special bait, which also determines your hp.
* [[Five Races]]:
** '''Stout:''' Tizian, despite their cuteness.
** '''Fairy:''' [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Fairies]]
** '''Mundane:''' Human, though they're note the focal race here.
** '''High Men:''' Sages can be thought of as this--they're humans (or Tizians, given Copoona), but have lots of holy force within them and are born to healer and leadership roles. A case could also be made for the giants: They've been on Landroll longer than humans have, have a mystical/spiritual energy, and are implied to be very wise.
** '''Cute:''' Nikonikoians. So they're a little snooty... They're just so ''adorable!''
* [[Floating Continent]]: Sanctuary
* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]: {{spoiler|The Dark Bon Bon is in no way cute.}}
Line 59:
* [[Fortune Teller]]: Debia and Creola; you also can become one yourself.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Check up on the people who are using the "Virtual Machines" in Paradiso. Some of the comments you get are extremely... suspect. The large number of people screaming the names of popular celebrities, for one...
* [[Giant Mook]]: Golems, which ''don't even fit on the screen all the way.'' Even in the Rogue Book, they go outside the boundaries!
** And later in the game, the absolutely ''enormous'' Mega Puchila.
* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: The seven lost puppies. Not to mention all the artwork, optional licenses, secret passwords, Net TV shows, components for the [[Infinity+1 Sword|best bon bon upgrades]]... the game likes this trope.
* [[Green Rocks]]: Matia is both currency, and a material used in healing magic.
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: {{spoiler|Chaika.}} Also somewhat of a [[Crutch Character]] as {{spoiler|Poleena is your only PC at the time.}}
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Due to the lackluster translation, some clues are less then obvious, or outright wrong. Unfortunately walkthroughs are equally hard to come by.
* {{spoiler|[[Gilded Cage]]}}: Paradiso can be this {{spoiler|if Aizel considers you a threat}}. If not, it probably is {{spoiler|a genuinely nice place to live}}, but the Virtual Machines {{spoiler|ensure that few people really work up the werewithal to leave}}.
* [[Herd-Hitting Attack]]: Armagebbon targets a single enemy, but can smash those around it if they're close. Copoona also has a number of spells that can target a specific "level" of enemy (On the ground/in the air/way high up), and the Plasma Coat shoots electric tentdrils that zap enemies close to those it hits.
* [[Human Aliens]]: Possibly. One NPC, Yukiha, calls herself a "Violetian" and implies she's not from Landroll. She also has [[Curtains Match the Window|unusually purple hair and eyes.]] But it's not clear if she's an alien species, or part of a very, very purple ethnic minority.
* [[Idol Singer]]: Numerous ones. One of them, Mimi, you can befriend, but there are idols in ''other'' professions, too (including an idol ''advertiser'').
* [[Ill Boy]]: Ted, as a sufferer of "carbon heart." {{spoiler|He gets better, thanks to you and the Sages.}}
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]:
Line 78:
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|Anyone who opposes Aizel for too long ends up with this.}}
* [[Lost Forever]]: Not many, but there are a few. There are a couple art pieces in the Artiela museum that will get replaced if you don't view them soon after you get there, meaning you can't complete your Catalogue d'Arts.
** There's also Masao's Statue. If you befriend the alien Masao, he will give you a statue of himself. Its description tells you that "alien arts are valuable on Landroll," and you can [[Vendor Trash|sell it for a hefty hunk of change...]] But then you'll miss out on befriending Ine (another member of Masao's species), and you'll miss out on an essential item to {{spoiler|get Masao as one of your Partizans}}.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Poleena, whose solutions to problems tend to be either "manipulate it with her cuteness" or smack it upside the head with a bon bon.
* [[Loveable Rogue]]: The legendary pirate Tyrant, is said to be the only one to have survived facing the Rogues in their own territory. {{spoiler|At least according to the stories. He actually was the monster which killed the crew and stole their ship.}}
* [[Mana Drain]]: Available as a power to both Copoona and Poleena. Opoona misses out, though he has the most expensive skill you'll probably use regularly (Final Armagebbon).
* [[Metal Slime]]: The Star Human is a textbook example. It has super-high defense ''and'' evasion, so not only does it take very little damage, you can't even ''hit'' it half the time. It's prone to fleeing. If you ''can'' kill it (no small feat), it drops tons of EXP, cash, and even has a chance of dropping an exclusive item.
* [[Mix-and-Match Critters]]: Orcalphins.
* [[Monster Compendium]]: Jingle's Rogue Book, which even gets its own sidequest.
* [[Mordor]]: The dark half of the planet.
* [[Mundane Utility]] Besides battle, Opoona's energy bon bon can be used as a crystal ball for simple fortune telling. Likewise the hoverboard can be equipped with a nozzle to sweep.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Subverted by Tyrant, who is a legendary pirate that dared to take on the Rogues in their own territory. {{spoiler|Double-Subverted when it's revealed he's a horrible monster.}}
Line 92:
* [[People Jars]]: Quite a few appear in the underwater prison {{spoiler|as well as playing a key role in the Dark Burrows}}.
* [[Playable Epilogue]]: The ending sequence {{spoiler|has you flying home to Tizia in your repaired ship, but Roidman suggests you save your game first.}} Loading the save you make there puts you back in Sanctuary, and you're free to do whatever you like from then until eternity. Indeed, there are some things (like maxing out your friendship with your Partizans) that can only be done post-credits.
* [[Projected Man]]: Serge. For the most part, he looks like an ordinary NPC, but he shorts out a few times during the Intelligent Sea parts of the story.
* [[Rainbow Pimp Gear]]: All the stuff you equip to your Bonbon? It shows. So your Bonbon could be a giant sparkling mace encircled by a UFO, leaves, and half-covered by a riveted metal base--awesome stats, ludicrous appearance.
* [[Random Effect Spell]]: The Random Hearts equipment, which adds random effects to your attacks.
* [[Randomly Drops]]: A number of sidequests are based on items which you can get from random drops, and some enemies even drop pretty good equipment on defeat. There are a few exclusive equipments you can get only from enemies, and some of them are surprisingly good (like the Ghost Ring, which has instakill properties, or the Tentacle Coat, which gives you [[Combat Tentacles]] that do non-elemental damage).
** There are also some enemies which are just plain rare to begin with, but you need to fight them for [[
* [[Rare Candy]]: Numerous ones!
* [[Released to Elsewhere]]: {{spoiler|Originally the stories about Paradiso were true, however in recent times most four-stars have instead served as [[Human Resources]] for the Dark Bon Bon.}}
Line 102:
* [[The Rival]]: Ted, initially, though he ends up being a subversion: All his bragging is because he's an [[Ill Boy]] who wants to feel like he's doing something cool.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The game has some very pretty areas, though the bad camera often gets in the way. Of special note are the dozens of detailed pieces of artwork and sculpture, one of which is many stories tall and must be seen with an elevator!
* [[Shows Damage]]: Rogues get progressively more beat-up looking as you wail on them.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: In fact, your OMP has a built in online TV, which streams different shows depending on what area you're in. They include everything from dramas and sports, and even dance lessons. (Which you have to watch for a sidequest.)
* [[Silent Protagonist]]: Opoona is indeed one. {{spoiler|As is Poleena, [[Playing with a Trope|but only during her time as main character.]]}}
* [[Smash Mook]]: Golems, and their [[Palette Swap|Palette Swaps]].
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: Believe it or not, an ''aversion.'' In addition to occassionally throwing an extra-strong enemy at you as a [[Boss in Mook Clothing]], weak enemies will also sometimes pop up in later areas just because. "Wait, what are the Flameheads from all the way back in the second dungeon doing ''here,'' so late to the game?"
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Sadly, the translation really did need some proofreading. At least one character is even referred to by two different names in the same conversation!
* [[Tastes Like Friendship]]: How you befriend the Orcalphin.
* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: Popcorn Shower. The only way to get one is by spending 1000 Shop Points (1 point = 100 MT, so it basically costs 100,000 MT), and it's one-use. It does about 800 damage to everything on the field, which is enough to wipe out pretty much everything short of a Salamander. But given its cost and given that most battles don't need that kind of firepower, when will you think to use it?
* [[Treacherous Advisor]]: {{spoiler|Goldy, the commander who trained Opoona, as well as Crescent. Aizel and Babushca would be this to Copoona, though his interaction with them was all off camera.}}
* [[Trickster Mentor]]: Joey.
* [[True Companions]]: Called "Partizans" on Landroll.
* [[Unique Enemy]]: The Killer Screen is the only enemy in the game without a [[Palette Swap]]. Even most bosses have swaps, but the Screen doesn't.
* [[The Unseen]]/[[The Unfought]]: {{spoiler|The Dark Emperor. Likely a [[Sequel Hook]].}}
* [[Useless Useful Spell]]: Averted; some of the support skills are actually genuinely useful, since even some random encounters can be quite tough. Particularly notable are the "shield" abilities, which reduce damage for a time (perfect for protecting [[Squishy Wizard]] Copoona against some of the more damaging attacks), and Milky Rain, which can stun all enemies (perfect for dealing with huge mobs of enemies, especially when bombs are around).
* [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]: {{spoiler|The Dark Burrows.}}
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: {{spoiler|Aizel and Babushca are loved and respected leaders.}}
