* [[Idiot Ball]]: {{spoiler|Time will tell if Almond's decision to simply ''hand over the last Disaster Stone because she feels the quest wouldn't be epic enough if they didn't'' will be this or simply the [[Functional Genre Savvy|usual genre enforcement of the world]]. Or both.}}

Unsurprisingly, Almond finds that idea boring.}}
