#'''[[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|Just Nod Your Head And Smile]]:''' ''And no matter how big that [[BFS|big-ass sword]] is, you won't stand out in a crowd. Nobody ever crosses the street to avoid you or seems to be especially shocked or alarmed when a heavily armed gang bursts into their house during dinner, rummages through their possessions, and demands to know if they've seen a [[Black Cloak|black-caped man]]. [[Seen It All|People can get used to anything, apparently]].''
#'''[[Final Fantasy VII|Aeris's]] Corollary:''' ''Just as the main male character will always use a sword or a variant of a sword, the main female character will always use a [[Simple Staff|rod or a staff of some sort]].''
#'''[[MacGyver]] [[Improbable Weapon User|Rule]]:''' ''Other than for the protagonists, your choice of weapons is not limited to the prosaic guns, clubs, or swords. Given appropriate skills, you can cut a bloody swath across the continent using [[Weapons Kitchen Sink|gloves, combs, umbrellas, megaphones, dictionaries, sketching tablets]]
#'''O Brother, Where Art Thou? ([[Grandia II|Melfice]] Rule):''' ''If the male hero has an older sibling, the sibling will [[Aloof Big Brother|also be male]] and will [[Cain and Abel|turn out to be one of the major villains]]. If the hero has a younger sibling, the sibling will be female and will be [[Distressed Damsel|kidnapped and held hostage by the villains]].'' (A special version of the [[Theory of Narrative Causality]]; related to [[Luke, I Am Your Father]] and [[Long Lost Sibling]])
#'''[[We Buy Anything|Capitalism Is A Harsh Mistress]]:''' ''Once you sell something to a shopkeeper, he instantly sells it to somebody else and you will [[Lost Forever|never see the item again]] no matter what.'' (Related to [[We Buy Anything]]. Not related to [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]]... but he does, and would like you to know that.)
