This game provides examples of

* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]] - Playing all the way through the main storyline of Katarina's scenario opens the option to change her back into her original outfit and hairstyle from the beginning of the game.

* [[Another Dimension]] - The Abyss.

* [[Apocalypse How]]: {{spoiler|Ranges from Class X-3 to X-4, If you lose against the destroyer in the final battle. It will still happen even if you win, but instead, everything is reset.}}

* [[Can't Drop the Hero]] - Mostly played straight, but averted in Sarah's scenario: {{spoiler|She is forced out of your party before the final battle -- and if she's your lead, this results in you fighting a specialized version of the Commander mode of battle in which you can actually control the characters.}}

* [[Car Fu]] - {{spoiler|In the N.Zweiger Battle, you can also control the vehicle you ride to attack the enemy.}}

* [[Character Customization]] - Loosely. Specifically, any character can use any weapon or magic, though some characters are better suited to some than others. And depending on what the character uses, some stats go up more than others. Monica, being a blank slate from the start, is the greatest example of this, with Muse a close second.

* [[Corrupt Church]] - {{spoiler|The Divine Church Pidona Division.}}

* [[Damsel in Distress]] - Monica.

* [[Easter Egg]] - {{spoiler|The Mana Sword translation of the game added a hidden subquest to the game, making use of some unused resources. Seeing the subquest through fully nets you some pretty awesome gear, as well as lets you in to a sort of "[[Developer's Room]]" featuring the translation group.}}

* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]

* [[End of the World Special]] - {{spoiler|Ending.}}

* [[Evil Eye]] - Stare attacks that induce Status Ailments. {{spoiler|Leonid can use this. In addition, a certain weapon allows its wielder to do the same thing.}}

* [[Inn Security]] - Subverted. {{spoiler|Staying at an inn is actually how to draw out Forneus' Soldiers, who were behind the murders in town, and start the Vanguard quest in earnest.}}

* [[Life Energy]] - In addition to HP, you also have Life Points, or LP. If a character runs out, they are removed from the party, but if your lead runs out it's game over. Leonid is the exception; he only has 1 LP, but will not be removed from the party if he is KOed. Rather, he will be removed from the battle, but will still be in your active party. Life Points can be lost in several ways: Losing all HP, Getting Attacked while KOed (Out of HP), or a Instant death attack.

* [[Magic Knight]] - Sharl.

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]] - This game has many: {{spoiler|Fairy, Boston (Lobsterman), Zo (Elephant), Leonid (Vampire), Snowman.}}

* [[Rebellious Princess]] - Monica, if you choose to take her away from the palace.

* [[Rodents of Unusual Size]] - {{spoiler|The rats are actually of normal size, but are being controlled in a huge, destructive crowd by a highly intelligent, malevolent rat developed by The Professor named, somewhat ironically, Algernon.}}

* [[ROM Hack]]: In Spades, including characters from previous and future [[SaGa]] games {{spoiler|1=There is even a hack to get Katrina, a character you could not recruit normally into your party. There is even one that allows you to fight [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4caeBQ_dD8 Apollo], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jzF5IYFri0 Seven Heroes], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmMOp8MjK2o Schirach], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcC8vhusYH8 Mirsa], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaNvt3vGdQI Orlouge] and more... }}
