Line 28:
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]] ("My name isn't Feebureel.")
* [[Power Glows]] (Does it ever...)
* [[Refusal of the Call]]
** [[The Call Knows Where You Live]] (Subverted: while Hyades ''does'' attack Reid's hometown, he does so to find Meredy rather than him, and it doesn't provide much motivation to Reid either way.)
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
Line 36:
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]] ("Reid/Rid/Ridd", "Hershel"/"Herschel")
* [[Team Mom]] (He's pretty much the closest to one in the group. The man bra (fandom joke) he wears doesn't help much.)
* [[The Lancer]] (Arguably, Reid fills this role for a respectable portion of the game, being something of a calm voice of reason for the more energetic Farah.)
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]] (After he leaves his apathy and laziness behind him and {{spoiler|undergoes the Trials of Seyfert}}...)
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]] (Omelettes!)
 
Line 69:
* [[Pollyanna]]
* [[Power Fist]]
* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: Averted ''hard''. She wears a ''huge'' dress.
* [[Shorttank]] (In many ways, although she ''does'' wear a big, fluffy dress.)
* [[Stepford Smiler]] (Her outward cheeriness and impulsive actions hide an intense guilt over {{spoiler|her apparent role in the destruction of Rasheans and death of her father ten years ago}} and overall doubt about who she really is.)
Line 129:
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] (Farah notes later in the game that Keele is "a lot kinder than I thought" after he tells Reid and Farah that despite their good intentions, talking to Meredy about what may have happened to her mother, right after {{spoiler|Meredy herself has been possessed briefly by Nereid}}, might only cause her more emotional harm.)
* [[Meaningful Name]] ("Keel" refers both to the similarly-named part of a boat—Keele is intensely interested in boats and ships, built models as a child, and even attempted to design and build a boat in the [[So Bad It's Good|anime]]—and to his tendency, to, well, keel [over], making his first name a [[Punny Name]] in both of these respects as well. His surname, "Zeibel", is apparently after physicist Roy Zaibel.)
* [[Nerd]] (...Well, yes.)
* [[Non-Action Guy]]
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]
Line 156:
Tropes associated with Chat:
 
* [[Awesome but Impractical]] / [[Awesome Yet Practical]]: Eternal throw. Not worth using on trash mobs since you're just wasting TP and gels...but on bosses? As long as you keep feeding her gels she can keep on throwing hammers until the cows come home.
* [[Bag of Holding]] (Literally. She uses the things inside as weapons.)
* [[Bokukko]]
Line 162:
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]
* [[Insistent Terminology]] (Don't forget that she's the Captain.)
* [[Insufferable Genius]]: She has a tendency to call other party members' behavior childish. At one point she does this at the hotel in Tinnsia, referring to her roomates', Farah and Meredy, habit of randomly looking at the stuff in the room as childish and stated that she examined the room herself to look for ''a fire exit''.
* [[Junko Noda]]
Line 182:
[[File:fog.jpg|frame]]
 
The boisterous head of [[La Résistance]], Shileska, the party agrees to work with Max's group in Celestia in order to defeat [[Evil Overlord|Balir]]. Max is a rather simple-minded man, and prefers to let his insane strength and durability solve his problems for him. Amusingly, he also wants to [[Take Over the World]]. He wields a [[BFG]] in combat, which he either uses as a bludgeoning weapon, or fires a variety of [[Frickin' Laser Beams|beam weapons]] from it.
 
Tropes associated with Max:
* [[Artificial Stupidity]]: Arguably [[Gameplay and Story Integration]] on this part since he's...not the brightest. He tends to bludgeon with his weapons, which isn't bad considering that this does essentially make him the third melee next to Reid and Farah. But his weapons have a long charge time and are ranged; so naturally unless you program him to keep his distance, he'll run in and get interrupted.
* [[BFG]]: His preferred type of weapon.
** [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] His mystic arte is even ''spammable''. (Granted though; this was actually the first games to have one of these)
* [[Big Damn Heroes]] (At {{spoiler|Balir Castle}}, Max and the rest of Shileska get such a moment.)
* [[Catch Phrase]] ("OH!"/"'''''YEAH!'''''")
* [[Evil Laugh]]: His "Bwa ha ha ha!" laugh when he's first met at the hideout, which he lets out after stating his goal. He also uses it at other points after that, usually when his goal is brought up again. Of course, considering his personality and lack of evilness, it's pretty much played for laughs.
* [[Game Breaker]]: Aqua Spiral.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Large and In Charge]]
Line 266:
[[File:329px-Sylph ToE PSX 1895.jpg|frame]]
 
One of the Primary Craymels of Inferia, and the spirit of Wind. Opposed to Gnome, the spirit of Earth. Sylph is encountered by the party not long after Undine, and, just as she does, battles the party to test their abilities. Sylph has few abilities for direct attacks on his own, and instead is best used to link with other Craymels to boost their own attacks, or learn supportive spells.
 
Tropes associated with Sylph:
Line 287:
Tropes associated with Efreet:
 
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]] and [[Incredible Shrinking Man]] (Efreet's size tends to change based on his mood; when he's angry he grows and when he's
* [[Conflict Ball]] (He more or less attacks you for no reason when you first meet him)
* [[Gentle Giant]] (He calms down a ''lot'' after you beat him and reveals himself to be fairly well-natured despite his appearence)
Line 311:
