 * [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Played straight with Alina's bow/crossbow/speargun that never runs out of arrows/quarrels/spears. Averted with Edessot's thrown weapons that are in limited supply, take room in your limited inventory, and can (usually) only be found in limited chests, not bought.
 * [[Bounty Hunter]]: You meet one early in the game. {{spoiler|Zellini}} also disguises as one at some point in the game.
-* [[Critical Existence Failure]]: Whether at full health or nearly dead, the characters perform just as good. However, their combat portrait and sprite will reflect their condition.
-* [[Crush! Kill! Destroy!]] / [[Killer Robot]] : You'll have to fight one in {{spoiler|one of Timpo's factories}}.
 * [[Capital City]]: Verahansa may be the biggest city of all 16-bit RPGs.
 * [[Combat Medic]]: Alina (see Staff Chick too). In Kruller's case, this trope is both played straight (he can only heal DURING combat) and subverted (he can't heal without ''gathering'' first, and his non-magic attacks are rather weak). He's more of a mage with some healing abilities.
 * [[Competence Zone]]: Averted. While Hoston, Alina and Edessot are teens and often considered as children, they are accompanied by adults who are more able due to their higher starting level only. It evens out during play.
 * [[Cool Big Sis]]: Alina to Edessot.
+* [[Critical Existence Failure]]: Whether at full health or nearly dead, the characters perform just as good. However, their combat portrait and sprite will reflect their condition.
+* [[Crush! Kill! Destroy!]] / [[Killer Robot]] : You'll have to fight one in {{spoiler|one of Timpo's factories}}.
 * [[Distress Ball]]: Subverted. Early in game, Alina leaves to go forth on her own, but Hoston and Edessot quickly catch her up, and she did not need to be rescued either.
 * [[Drop the Hammer]]: Rudy's weapons are hammers and maces. One of his special attacks involve a [[Hyperspace Mallet]].

 * [[Elemental Powers]]: Enemies and characters alike can have elemental (fire, water, earth and air) attacks, magics and/or resistances. Typically, Hoston's and Rudy's attacks are earth-based, Alina's water-based, Edessot's and Zellini's fire-based, and Kruller's air-based. Equipping accessories can give elemental resistance, while only enemies can have elemental weaknesses.
 * [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: The city of Oasis.
-* [[Hammerspace]] (Game type) : This is where your inventory is stored, although you're limited in number of DIFFERENT items you can have. Edessot seems to have his own hammerspace (basic type) as well to store his recon robot Lossa.
 * [[Gadgeteer Genius]] / [[Science Hero]] : Edessot, who lives in a workshop, assembles and disassembles robots, can repair trains, and fights with tools.
 * [[Global Currency]]: Gold seems to be that : merchants accept it everywhere, enemies carry gold coins, while chests can contain gold coins, block, bars... or "metal coins" (no amount stated), worth... ONE gold coin!
+* [[Hammerspace]] (Game type) : This is where your inventory is stored, although you're limited in number of DIFFERENT items you can have. Edessot seems to have his own hammerspace (basic type) as well to store his recon robot Lossa.
 * [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Hoston's weapons are swords.
 * [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: After you defeat his soldiers, {{spoiler|Ironhart}} jumps into the fight, and then you're doomed to lose. {{spoiler|Happens at least twice in the game...}}
-* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Edessot's weapons are tools (ranging from lighters to chisels to saws...), while Kruller's attack animation pictures him fighting with... juggling balls!
 * [[Identical Grandson]]: Subverted. Some people notice that Hoston looks like his father Rudy, but no one ever mistakes them.
+* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Edessot's weapons are tools (ranging from lighters to chisels to saws...), while Kruller's attack animation pictures him fighting with... juggling balls!
 * [[Inexplicable Treasure Chests]]: Of course, there are treasure chests hidden in forests, jungles, mountains, etc. And their content will never be spoiled or rotten either, however long they've be stored there...
 * [[Inn Security]]: Subverted. Some stays in inns are mandatory to advance the plot, but that does not mean you won't get your usual rest either. Not sure if they are always free, though. See also Trauma Inn below.

 * [[Money Spider]]: Most enemies are animals, yet you still earn gold when you defeat them. Subverted with Ryan the lion, since it's an arena bet.
 * [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Ironhart does not sound like a very nice, caring person indeed.
-* [[No Export for You]]: Zigzagged - the planned Japanese version was eventually not released because of the lack of Japanese translators to proof-read it, however the game exists in English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese, runs on all Japanese, American and European consoles, and can be bought from anywhere in the world.
 * [[Old Format, New Work]]: First released in 2010 as a Sega Genesis cartridge, the game uses the Sega CD for an optional enhanced soundtrack.
 * [[Palette Swap]]: For some enemies. They keep the same name though, only their stats change.
