Line 13:
* [[Arbitrary Headcount Limit]]: In both size of a unit and number of characters in the army.
* [[Bag of Sharing]]: Very slightly subverted, though, in that the amount of items a unit can hold is dependent upon the classes that compose it.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: When it seems like the rebel leader is going to be executed by Rhade, two knights just show up out of ''nowhere'' to save him. It's an even bigger CMOA when you learn
* [[Can't Drop the Hero]]: Magnus is mandatory.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: {{spoiler|Danika is very similar to Persephone of [[Classical Mythology]]. Both were daughters of a Earth Goddess (Demeter/Berthe) who were lured to the Underworld and made Queen of it by another God residing there (Hades/Diablo) and trapped there once they ate a fruit grown there. Only difference is while Hades is actually quite just by Ancient Greek standards, Dialbo is evil, and Danika was corrupted by them, but gets better after you defeat her}}.
Line 23:
* [[Defeat Means Playable]]: True for a few characters, such as Liedel and Biske.
* [[Do Not Drop Your Weapon]]: Defeated bosses topple over and let their weapon go.
* [[Escort Mission]]: You have one where you must escort protect Yumil, but thankfully, he does have four Black Knights protecting him, a high level melee class that you won't get until much later in the game, so he's not in much danger.
* [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]: It's one thing to summon denizens of the underworld to serve you, but to ''willingly'' give a person who doesn't like being used by you the powers of a demigod? The Holy Lodission empire ain't exactly run by geniuses.
* [[First-Name Basis]]: General Godeslas. Godeslas is his FIRST name. As one LP says "It's like if he went around getting called General Gary
* [[Flash of Pain]]: The color is different depending on the element of the attack, too.
* [[Geo Effects]]: Certain units fight better and move quicker through different terrain, and a unit occupying a stronghold gets a defensive bonus.
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: In an early mission, an uncontrollable Yumil leads a unit with four Black Knights across Mylesia.
** Ankiseth, {{spoiler|Magnus' dad}} also. He can cast combo magic (by himself) and comes with two Cataphracts. {{spoiler|Ankiseth's squad can then join your army after this mission
* [[Guys Smash, Girls Shoot]]: The base male class is a Fighter, that uses swords. The base female class is an Amazon, that uses bows.
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Not just Magnus, but Ankiseth, Dio, {{spoiler|Destin and Debonair}} too.
Line 37:
* [[Job System]]: As long as a character fulfills the statistical and alignment requirements, they can change classes between missions or while not deployed.
* [[Luck Stat]]: Affects dodge and critical hits... probably. For females, also affects the chances of becoming an Angel Knight upon death.
* [[Monster Allies]]: Wyverns, dragons, hellhounds
* [[Multiple Endings]]: There are many different endings, with scenes depending on which characters you recruited throughout the game. The [[Golden Ending]] depends upon having a middling to high Chaos Frame.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Godeslas, but Baldwin comes in right after, and gets rid of any sympathy you might have for him.
Line 68:
* [[Random Encounters]]: They're a bit uncommon, but they're the only way to get nonhuman characters into your army.
* [[Relationship Values]]: A hidden morale meter helps determine magical combination attacks.
* [[Rival Turned Evil]]: {{spoiler|Dio, but only if you choose to stay silent at Frederick's execution. Dio will be thought to be dead, but then a chapter later, you see him take out Rhade, and then you finally meet him face to face two chapters after
* [[Save the Princess]]: A gender inversion with Yumil during the second mission.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The high alignment version of the Hawkman is called the [[Flash Gordon (film)|Vultan, after a certain Prince]]. All the other games of the series are named after songs from ''[[Queen]]''. Except this one. But who provided the theme song to the 80s ''[[Flash Gordon (film)|Flash Gordon]]'' film? ''[[Queen]]''. Who appears in the movie? Prince Vultan of the Hackmen.
Line 75:
** This is shown in canon with Xevec, who argues with Magnus over whether they should work with defectors or kill 'em all.
* [[Soft Reset]]: Z + Start + A + B. It doesn't save a lot of time, though.
* [[Straw Hypocrite]]: The Holy Lodis Empire. These guys secretly give Godeslas the ability to summon Ogres just to test out how much power he could attain. This comes to bite Palatinus in the butt later as they come back and take away the kingdom's power of nobility under the claim they were ''using'' ogres, and they are to step in to take care of a land of "heretics". This gets even more hypocritical as right after that, they search the Eastern division for the gate to the underworld to summon MORE
** Stupid mistake or [[The Plan|deliberate plan]]?
* [[Traveling At the Speed of Plot]]: You can spend years traveling from region to region between missions, and nothing in the plot will change. In fact, since Magnus receives rare items for every birthday that's a multiple of 10, it's beneficial to wander around until Magnus is 99 years old.
