Line 13:
* [[Cap]]: Your experience level is capped at 16.
* [[Charged Attack]]: Every sword comes with a base level 1 charge. Most can charge to a level 2 attack after you acquire an orb to go with said sword (except the Crystalis sword, which also automatically comes with this), and the four elemental swords can hit a level 3 charge when an appropriate bracelet is equipped. Given how quickly the charge happens, these are frequently [[Awesome Yet Practical]] unless you're dealing with a huge swarm of enemies.
** Actually, the Crystalis sword's apparent three charge levels is the result of a [[Good Bad Bugs|glitch]] and the sword was always meant to have just one charge level. If you go into your inventory (or the status screen) and come back out, the "extra" levels of charge disappear. Furthermore, if you avoid going into your inventory between receiving Crystalis and the battle with
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Mesia. Somewhat subverted, as her main ability is summoning the [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|Flying Tower]] [[Doomsday Device|of]] [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|Doomy Doom Doom]].
* [[Egopolis]]: The '''Draygonian''' [[The Empire|Empire]]. That is all.
* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Some enemies are completely immune to one or more of the sword (e.g. the insects in the forest near Oak can only be [[Kill It with Fire|damaged by the Sword of Fire]]
* [[Evil Overlord]]: Draygon.
* [[Fling a Light Into the Future]]: The Hero and Mesia.
* [[Forced Level Grinding]]: In the NES version, you cannot damage enemies or bosses if you aren't sufficient level. The GBC version averts this.
* [[Four Is Death]]
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: Emperor Draygon is definitely the [[Big Bad]], and has been for the entire game... {{spoiler|until right at the end, when you kill him and then get whisked off to the flying tower. The actual final boss is the tower's computer, DYNA, who also happens to be [[Anticlimax Boss|ridiculously easy]] compared to [[That One Boss|Draygon]]
* [[Give Me Your Inventory Item]]
* [[Good Bad Translation]]: "How do feel today?" Uh, okay...
Line 31:
* [[King in the Mountain]]: Your character -- and Mesia! -- are asleep until the time comes to either save the world or destroy it.
* [[Lady Land]]: Amazons.
* [[La Résistance]]: Hero, Mesia, Zebu, Tornel, Asina, Kensu, Stom
* [[Master of Disguise]]: The hero, after he learns the "Change" spell. He'll need to [[Attractive Bent Gender|change himself into a girl]] in order to get into the aforementioned town of Amazones.
* [[Mind Screw]]: "Wait, were
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Draygon.
* [[Point of No Return]]: Entering the Tower is a one-way ticket to the endgame.
* [[Protagonist Without a Past]]
* [[Psychic Link]]: The "Telepathy" spell allows you to speak directly with any of the four sages, regardless of where you are.
* [[Sacrificial Lion]]: {{spoiler|Stom}} (and arguably, {{spoiler|Akahana}}).
* [[Science Is Bad]]
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: The Fruit of Repun reverses the "Nuper" status (that turns you into a monster incapable of attacking or using magic
** Of course, niether Repun nor Nuper are actually, you know, ''things''.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The story opens in "[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind|the Windy Valley]]", which is populated by giant insects. "October 1, 1997, the end day" is a shout-out to ''[[Terminator]]''.
Line 47:
* [[Speaks Fluent Animal]]: One of the side effects of the "Telepathy" spell is that it allows you to communicate with animals.
* [[Sword of Plot Advancement]]: Crystalis.
* [[Tomato Surprise]]: In the Tower, it is revealed that the Hero was one of the scientists who built the thing in the first place. Your job after awakening was to judge whether the remnants of humanity were worth saving and if the answer was no, to use the Tower to wipe them out. Being the Hero, you destroy the Tower instead.
* [[Two Aliases, One Character]]: Portoa's Queen and the Fortune Teller both appear, but not at the same time and keep referring you to the other alias. Eventually, the dialog will start looping, requiring the hero to double back and use the newly acquired paralysis skill.
* [[Upgrade Artifact]]: There are magical orbs and bracelets that can enhance the magic of your swords, and will be required to access other areas in the game.
