Line 44:
* [[The Chessmaster]]: {{spoiler|Hector is shown to be pulling the strings, laying the groundwork for his grand scheme in [[Riviera the Promised Land]]}}.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]] / [[Children Are Innocent]]: Primea is sometimes an example of both tropes.
* [[Color -Coded Elements]]: {{color|green|Sanctity}}, {{color|purple|Darkness}}, {{color|red|Fire}}, {{color|blue|Ice}}, {{color|yellow|Lightning}}, Neutral.
* [[Cute Witch]]: Vienna and {{spoiler|Pamela}}. Many of the Priestesses also qualify.
* [[Dead to Begin With]]: It would be easier to list who isn't dead by the time game starts. Here's a hint: The wisp's soldiers are all deceased knights which it can briefly materialize to attack its enemies. Before each new level, we usually get to see a flashback cutscene of the new knights in that area and what they went through just before they died.
Line 83:
* [[Kuudere]]: Maria.
* [[Lady of War]]: Maria and Mellia, {{spoiler|who are technically the same entity}}. Many of Wilmgard's knights are this, as well.
* [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]]
* [[Legions of Hell]]: The main force of opposition.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]
Line 101:
* [[Never Grew Up]]: {{spoiler|Pamela}} and, according to the World Guide, {{spoiler|Yggdra}}.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Most wizards and priestesses wear one.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|During Maria's route, in Stage 46, after you beat Zolgonark, Melissa comes out and fuses with the remains of Zolgonark to become almighty Melad Margus, the final boss of that route.}}
** {{spoiler|During Mellia's route, if you find Marietta's staff in the secret stage, Mellia will break it and this will automatically lead to the bad ending of Mellia's route.}}
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Playing on just the normal difficulty is an exercise in badness, as the screen can quickly be blanketed in projectiles.
Line 107:
{{quote| ''"I hear level-up music in my head! *giggle*"''}}
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Melissa.
* [[NoblewomansNoblewoman's Laugh]]: Yelma.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: Guess which side of {{spoiler|Marietta}} Mellia and Melissa represent.
** Also, Yelma.
Line 118:
* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: Mellia goes around with a face that proudly proclaims "I eat babies".
* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: {{spoiler|Mellia doesn't rage so much as gleefully charge on at the prospect of making Asgard (among other things) go asplode.}}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Subverted; Marietta and Maria have red and gold coloring and blue-oni personalities, while Melissa and Mellia wear blue and purple and act more like they're red oni.
* [[Reset Button]]: What happens in the good endings.
** {{spoiler|Arguably, those endings where Melad Margus is allowed to go on her destruction spree are a ''literal'' [[Reset Button]] for the entire universe -- this is implied in a Marietta flashback at the end of Mellia's route.}}
* [[Sadistic Choice]]: At the end of Mellia's route, as long as you didn't defeat Scoppio. Which is more important to you -- order or friendship? And no, you can't [[Take a Third Option]].
* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: Zolgonark.
* [[Self -Imposed Challenge]]: Many. The most popular are "Get all the knights" and "continually [[New Game Plus]] from Easy Mode to Nightmare Mode [[No Casualties Run|without ever using Transoul]]". ...Also, [[Meaningful Name|Nightmare Mode]] is ''in itself'' a [[Self -Imposed Challenge]].
* [[Shipper On Deck]]: A handful of female and male knights get gossipy and humorous over who the prince is marrying.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Capehorn and Yelma.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Meria/Melia/Mellia, which has been officially and unofficially written ''all three ways.'' A lot of the knights' names suffered from this, too, until they were given official spellings by Sting. When the game was translated by Atlus, however, a lot of these romanizations were discarded, some due to being too long (i.e. Willemgard becoming Wilmgard), others for unknown reasons. Naturally, this causes a lot of difficulty between longtime Dept. Heaven fans that use Sting's translations and newer/foreign fans going off of Atlus's names, especially if the same character had a dramatically different name.
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: PSP version, [[Yggdra Union|as]] [[Blaze Union|usual]].
* [[Star -Crossed Lovers]]: {{spoiler|Wilmgard and Algiery. Also, Piche and Nordich.}}
* [[Stop Poking Me]]: Not your knights really, but rather monsters. You can 'talk' to them by bringing the wisp onto the square they are in and pressing the arrow button, which is really putting the stylus on their face. Do this with a monster and they will say an annoyed quote.
{{quote| "Don't touch me you dork!"<br />
Line 153:
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Mellia's route.
* [[The White Prince]]: Nordich, who first appears to be little more than a spoiled brat.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: The Mehse sure don't. {{spoiler|Freaking Asgard.}}
* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: The cutscene after Scene 30.
