Line 21:
* [[Pink Means Feminine]] / [[Graceful Ladies Like Purple]]: Her dress is fuchsia, which counts as both tropes.
* [[Purple Is Powerful]]
* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]] - Partially averted; Virginia's guns are the weakest in terms of damage, though they do have [[Cutscene Power to
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Virginia's the only girl, though at least she's the Leader, and having only four characters total anyway eases the sexism of this trope a bit.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Maya, eventually.
Line 40:
* [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]]: His ARM.
* [[Precision-Guided Boomerang]]: And it really is precision-guided- you can control where it hits.
* {{spoiler|[[Tomato in
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]
Line 75:
* [[Hot Dad]]
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Clive is this trope personified. He's guaranteed to get the last turn. He does more damage than the rest of the party combined.
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: {{spoiler|He is revealed to have spent the entire game wracked with guilt over his mentor's death. This guilt eventually drives him to despair, prompting his [[Ten
* [[The Smart Guy]]
* [[Sniper Rifle]]: His weapon of choice.
* {{spoiler|[[Stepford Smiler]]}}: Arguably.
* {{spoiler|[[Ten
== The Prophets ==
Line 126:
* {{spoiler|[[Alas, Poor Villain]]}}: It's most obviously presented [[All There in the Manual|in the form of a comic illustrated by character designer Wakako Ooba]]; unfortunately, [[No Export for You|the Complete Guide was never translated into English]], and the one website with full scans of said comic has apparently ''ceased to exist''.
* [[Bad Boss]]: Janus treats his lackeys like crap. The Prophets, in turn, treat ''him'' like crap.
* [[Expy]]: With a dash of [[Evil Counterpart]]. He bears tons of similarities to the lead of ''[[Wild Arms
* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]]: With his two lackeys.
* [[Meaningful Name]]
Line 152:
* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: Leading to {{spoiler|a heartrending battle against him after he saves all the party's lives.}}
* [[Implacable Man|Implacable Robot]]: Oh so very much. His actual title is "Fortress of Invulnerability", and it ''shows''.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: He is a reference to the Earth Golem Asgard in the original ''[[Wild Arms 1
* {{spoiler|[[The Slow Path]]: After being sent back thousands of years in time.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Suicide
* {{spoiler|[[Time Abyss]]: That [[Chekhov's Gunman|statue in one of the early dungeons]]? It's [[Alas, Poor Villain|Asgard]] after waiting patiently in one place for ''centuries'' so that he can [[Lawful Neutral|protect The Prophets, who he doesn't even like anymore]].}}
Line 190:
* [[Braggart Boss]]: Maya and company are snobby as hell to the party when they first meet- and are justified in doing it, too, since Virginia and Co. are not particularly experienced and Virginia's leadership leaves something to be desired. Later in the game, they even compliment the party on how much stronger they've become, {{spoiler|And even help you get to the final boss fight.}}
* [[Black Magician Girl]]: In her mage form.
* [[Expy]]: She transforms into different expies of older ''[[Wild Arms]]'' characters by imitating books she's read. Her mage form uses crest magic (Cecilia or Lilka), her martial artist form uses Kanon's moves from ''[[Wild Arms
* [[Gatling Good]]: Her special ARM, which comes out of [[Trouser Space|the most interesting holster ever created in a Wild West game]].
* [[Mega Manning]] - Maya's unique power is to do this by copying the powers of ''anything she reads''. Imagine if she got wind of TV Tropes!
Line 212:
* [[Battle Butler]]
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]
* [[Mythology Gag]]: He uses Quick Draw techniques that were unique to Jack from ''[[Wild Arms 1
* [[Funny Afro]]: Casting a fire spell will light the fro on fire and leave it smoldering for the rest of the fight, doing damage to him repeatedly- which is great, since Todd is often [[That One Boss]].
Line 222:
* [[Claustrophobia]]
* [[Intellectual Animal]]
* [[Playing
* [[Stealth Pun]]: He belongs to the Schrödingers. He's a cat (sort of). He was in a box. He has a 50-50 chance of using fire attacks on any given turn. He's claustrophobic. During the scene you discover his claustrophobia, he screams "NO MORE POISON GAS!"
Line 231:
A shy young girl who is not good with people. She lives alone in one of the few fertile places left in Filgaea, silently tending her garden.
* [[Expy]]: Of Mariel from ''[[Wild Arms 1
* [[Innocent Flower Girl]]: Also your only source of healing items. Amusingly she likes the Badass Loner Jet, who just wishes she'd leave him alone. {{spoiler|She likes him because she can sense that he's a nature elemental}}, which makes this a huge bit of clever foreshadowing.
