Line 41:
* [[Non Sequitur Scene]]: Most of the things you find in the dungeons are standard fare, among which are traps like bombs and boulders. However, one rare trap ends up throwing giant spinning fish across the screen.
** This is also pretty good for dealing with pursuing foes like [[Goddamned Bats|those angry roper things]] if you're lucky. Best works with Charme who can detect traps without a ring.
* [[The Scrappy]]/[[Scrappy Mechanic]]:
* [[The Scrappy]]/[[Scrappy Mechanic]]:* Elan, especially early on. If you plan on selling anything to him, you '''WILL''' be taking a loss of profit, since he seemingly never carries any more than 1000 or so pix on him whenever he visits your store, no matter what the reason (though he does start carrying more as you start to raise relations with him). In the dungeons, he initially seems useless with fast but terribly short-range attacks, terrible SP and no defensive skills (though later, he's faster than average, as his rage skill plus healing rings turn his massive HP more massive and his damage output similarly massive).
** Euria exists only to force you to spend ridiculous amounts of money not screw up your Pin combos. People have actually gone so far as to avoid all cutscenes during the times of day that she could appear, and thus start appearing in the shop.
*** She's helpful until you have all rank 5's unlocked. You should definitely avoid her cutscenes after you have Elan's friendship note thing and all fusions unlocked and sold to your adventurers, however.
*** You don't need to avoid her cutscenes. Just decorate the store so that she avoids it. Plain and Light makes her avoid you.
* [[Squick]]:
* [[Squick]]:* Your customers will often sell you food... with a quote about how it's a "family heirloom" or "my grandfather used it with love before he passed"." Now honestly, when in ''any'' J/RPG you've ever played - or even ''any video game'' - has food actually ''spoiled'' with age? [[Fridge Brilliance]] without the fridge.
** [[Elona]]!
** Certain wearable items come with this quality as well. Once had the fighter guy sell a sailor suit saying the grandfather used it ''with loooove'' line. [[Fridge Horror|TMI! TMI! TMI! TMI! TMI! TMI!]] [[Brain Bleach|GYAAAAAAUH]] [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|Magical Girl Pretty]] [[Tenchi Muyo!|Noboyuki flashbacks]]...
* [[The Woobie]]: Recette, if you believe the [[Fridge Horror]] that she's probably been starved for a while before Tear comes to help.
* [[Woolseyism]]:
* [[Woolseyism]]:* Carpe Fulgur's localization is top notch, capturing the game's humor and charm perfectly while sprinkling in numerous clever references to other relevant works and maintaining a biting sense of humor. Of course, this trope shouldn't be a surprise when Andrew Dice, one of the two founders of the company, even lists Ted Woolsey as an influence.
{{quote|[http://yfrog.com/0s44730641j "Son of a Submariner!"], [[Final Fantasy VI|anyone]]?}}
** For a more ''direct'' example of this, the game's memetic catchphrase, "Capitalism, ho!" was eventually admitted to have come up as a whim of the writer, having no equivilant in the Japanese script. He commented in the translator's notes that given the popularity of the phrase and its effect on the game's marketing, he wasn't too concerned.
