Line 13:
*** Naturally, Renne's popularity led to her being playable in Alternative Saga, too.
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: One's worthy of noting outside the WMG page, with the speculation that this game may take place in the future of the world ''[[Ys]]'' is set in. Of course, this crops up with other Falcom games and is usually scoffed at... but then ''Alternative Saga'' came out and the shaking trees '''caught fire'''. The [[Word of God]] hasn't explicitly clamped down on this or confirmed it... yet. Another popular option is that it takes place in the far, far future of the same world as the Gagharv trilogy.
** The idea that the Kiseki world is the future of Ys seems exclusive to the English-speaking (and non-Japanese-reading) fandom; the game itself says the characters were drawn from different worlds (the setting is also largely derived from Xanadu Next but nobody seems to think that it's the same world as the Ys or Kiseki games) and it's pretty clear from {{spoiler|the [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|lack of reaction]] to [[Back
* [[Even Better Sequel]]: While the backstory and setting of ''FC'' is sweeping in scope, the combat is fun and the characters likable, ''FC'' ultimately plays a fair number of tropes relatively straight {{spoiler|at least up until its very last act}} and even comes across as a little cliche at times, and really serves as more of a setting-establishment piece. It was ''SC'' that completely blew the lid off of player expectations (and a whole mess of tropes) across the board and cemented ''Trails''' place in history and the Japanese gaming zeitgeist. (Given what [[One Game for the Price of Two|initial reactions to SC's announcement were]], there's a level on which this is intensely amusing.)
* [[Fashion Victim Villain]]: The Lord of Phantasma, anyone?
Line 22:
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Cassius. A rare case where such a character is on the protagonist's side. {{spoiler|Mostly.}}
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Among the Japanese fanbase - <s> DRAGON</s> [[Lolicon]] DIVE!!!
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Weissman crosses this when he reveals that {{spoiler|not only did he [[Brainwashed and Crazy|mind control Joshua and turn him into a puppet]] but also indirectly cause the attack on Joshua's village that led to Joshua's sister's death and made Joshua and Loewe's lives a living hell}}.
* [[Sequel Displacement]]: The trilogy-cum-franchise has proven to be so popular that it's basically supplanted its parent Legend Of Heroes franchise; the following two games are ''[[Zero no Kiseki]]'' and ''Ao no Kiseki'', both of which still technically keep the "Legend of Heroes" franchise title but practically as a footnote, and don't even bother with numbering any longer. And the next one, aka ''Nayuta no Kiseki'', drops "The Legend of Heroes" altogether.
* [[Ship Mates]]: Joshua/Estelle shippers tend to support Agate/Tita and Olivier/Schera as well.
Line 33:
** The spider boss in Chapter 5 of The Third might qualify too. {{spoiler|Let's say that [[Mama Bear|you hurt its children too much]].}}
* [[Too Cool to Live]]: {{spoiler|[[Master Swordsman|Master]] [[That One Boss|Swordsman]] with a [[Bling Bling Bang|Golden]] [[Cool Sword|Sword]]? Rides on a [[Humongous Mecha|black metal dragon]]? [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Silver-haired]] [[Purple Eyes|purple-eyed]] [[Aloof Big Brother]] for the male lead? Has the most awesome [[Leitmotif]]? Voiced by [[Hikaru Midorikawa]], named [[Awesome McCoolname|Leonhardt]] and known as [[Red Baron|The]] [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Sword Emperor]]? Admit it, it was the only way for the Sora no Kiseki world to not to be frozen by Loewe's epic coolness.}}
** {{spoiler|Although his subsequent appearence in 3rd and his [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|apparent]] [[Back
* [[Toy Ship]]: Harry and Mina in Bose city. Somewhat hard to notice as they're non-essential NPCs that the player has to talk to on their own initiative.
* [[The Woobie]]: Joshua, Loewe, Kevin, and Renne.
