A ''[[Suikoden]]'' [[Gaiden Game]] for the DS, ''
Slow to start, but [[Better Than It Sounds]], providing a different take on several concepts central to the ''Suikoden'' mythos.
Oh, and ''[[Gratuitous German|Tierkreis]]'' [[Gratuitous German|is German for 'zodiac']].
----

{{quote|'''Man''': The storm! The storm has returned!}}
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Since you can rename the main character Bob, if you wish... But in-game, there's Chrodechild, Meruvis... and ''Roberto''.
*
* [[And Man Grew Proud]]: {{spoiler|The people of Rarohenga had access to incredibly advanced magic and were not only absolutely certain that they could defeat The One King, but that the people of other worlds were too primitive and ignorant to understand them. Observe the above trope to see how well that worked out for them}}.
* [[An Ice Person]]: Sphiel, being the Snow Fairy, is a literal example.

* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]
* [[Boss in Mook Clothing]]
* [[Brown Note]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]

**
** Nomno, who always sleeps even while fighting, is a reminiscent of a certain ''[[Suikoden III]]'' character.
** Does Erin remind you of [[Suikoden V|Luserina]] [[Silk Hiding Steel|Barows]]?
* [[Face Heel Turn]]
* [[Figure It Out Yourself]]
* [[Fish People]]: The Porpos-kin, darling little anthropomorphic dolphins which provide the customary 'five Stars with [[Theme Naming]]'.
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: Yula. During her recruitment scene, it is said that her skill is on par with Chrodechild. [[Statistically Speaking]], however...
* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]]: The Archivists, especially Fergus and Conon. They're pretty evil and seriously dangerous the first few times you meet them, however.
* {{spoiler|[[Groundhog Day Loop]]: In The One King's world, each individual repeats the best day on his/her life for eternity}}.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Have fun recruiting all of the Starbearers without one.
* [[Handsome Lech]]: Icas.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Fairly common in the series, this game being no exception. Most notably {{spoiler|Diadora, Sophia and Nova}}.
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: Sieg, which can be funny if you change his name to Guy or Gai, as that's what the voiceovers use to substitute his name.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Eunice, Zahra's long-suffering assistant.
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: Too many to count. Suffice to say, if your attacks are only doing double digit damage, and they normally do triple digits, don't bother using any items. A number of the [[Dual Boss]] fights are this way.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Sieg, Asad and arguably Otherworld Marica. Normal Marica can also be like this sometimes.
* [[Hot Librarian]]: Diadora.
* [[Hot
* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: Thanks to the Order's actions, the Porpos-kin (and later, the Furious Roar) perceived humans in this way early on. Before Sieg patched things up for them, of course.
* [[Internal Reformist]]: Erin works in the corrupt Order of the One True Way, which shocks her father until she tells him and the main characters that she is actually working to bring it down from the inside.
* [[Jerkass Facade]]
* [[Jerk
* [[Kill It
* [[The Klutz]]
* [[Lady of War]]

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]
* [[Luck Stat]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Zahra and Khemia.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Meganekko]]:
** 'Moana the Matchmaker'.
** The Wanderers seem to be a Megane(kko) ''race''.
* [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate]]
* [[Motor Mouth]]: Sieg in the English dub, there's even [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rNCbEtB1YU a video about it].
* [[Mountain Man]]: Dogha, a gruff loner who lives in tune with the Ch'ouli Mountains. {{spoiler|That is, until a [[Cosmic Retcon]] wipes most of them off the map, setting up a [[Tear Jerker]] moment between him and his self-proclaimed apprentice later on}}.
* [[Mysterious Waif]]
* [[Mythology Gag]]
* [[The Napoleon]]
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[The Nicknamer]]
* [[No Indoor Voice]]
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]
* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: Tsaubern, apparently.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Chrodechild. Poor Asad. There may still be hope, however.
* [[Ocular Gushers]]: Lubberkin does this constantly. {{spoiler|Though he is a bit high-strung after spending twenty years stuck in a dimensional rift}}. The fact that {{spoiler|he was treated badly by people he met in said dimension}} doesn't help.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Hina, due to [[The Napoleon|her height]].
* [[One-Winged Angel]]:
** Characters with Chronicles implanted inside them can turn into hideous, and powerful, monsters.
** {{spoiler|During the final battle, The One King transforms into a giant version of himself and then into a giant armored dragon}}.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Mubal can be seen as one for Manaril.
* [[Path of Inspiration]]: The Order of the One True Way.
* [[Proud Warrior Race]]: The Auster-folk and the Furious Roar.
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: And how. Sieg even lampshades this after recruiting Mourgent, where he notes that people he meets from time to time gets weirder.
* [[Random Encounters]]: Not as bad as ''[[Suikoden IV]]'', but still quite annoying.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|The entire Magedom of Janam, but particularly Rizwan}}. Also {{spoiler|Dirk}}.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Most Auster Folk have red eyes. They're also among the strongest races in the game.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Asad and Meruvis.
* [[Religion of Evil]]: The Order of the One True Way ''definitely'' has elements of this. ''[[Nightmare Fuel|NightmareFuelish]]'' elements, in fact—such as when {{spoiler|their leader predicts a lightning strike will hit the crowded town square during his speech, it ''[[Shock and Awe|happens]]''... and nobody runs. Even though somebody was ''hit'' and ''fried to death in their midst''. [[Squick]]}}...
** Later in the game, {{spoiler|he redirects a fusion of worlds ''that would likely have been relatively harmless'', and kills over ''a million people''. And shows no remorse about it to speak of}}.
** {{spoiler|Their final goal basically puts everyone in Cynas into a [[Lotus Eater Machine]]. Those who aren't are turned into monsters}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Rewriting Reality]]: Turns out The One King has rewritten the True Chronicles of many worlds, eventually leading to his appearances in said worlds and destroy them}}.
* [[The Rival]]: {{spoiler|Dirk}} became this to Sieg. Megion was one to Diulf. Also Lycia and Chein. Servillah and Eusmil take this to new heights as they compete ''on who gives birth first''...
* [[Save the Princess]]: {{spoiler|Played straight with Manaril; [[Subverted]] by Chrodechild}}.
* [[Scary Black Man]]: The Auster-folk are more or less the "black people" here, and some of them played this trope straight and some subverted it.
* [[Screw Destiny]]: Sieg's rallying cry.
* [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]: The bad ending, where {{spoiler|Sieg uses the lives of the other Stars of Destiny to kill the One King, only to become the new One King}}.
* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: Dear God, Darrow and Savina...
* [[Stripperiffic]]:
** Shairah; Sieg can [[Lampshade]] this at one point.
** Among the Starbearers, Felecca undoubtedly takes the prize.
**
** Marica, [[Zettai Ryouiki|to an]] [[Sexy Backless Outfit|extent]], also qualifies.
* [[Take Your Time]]
* [[Team Mom]]: Sisuca is a self-proclaimed example. Selen is an actual mom, but doesn't do much mommy business.
* [[Tenchi Solution]]: Invoked by Danash VIII, and [[Deconstructed]]; to say there's ''tension'' between his wives would be putting it quite mildly...
* [[Tragic Monster]]
** During the ending, {{spoiler|it is revealed that
* [[Tron Lines]]
* [[Tsundere]]:
** Roberto, especially because even the [[All There in the Manual|Character Guide says so]].
** Morrin, although considering [[Handsome Lech|who her love interest is]], she has every right to be.
** Marica.
* [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]
* [[Warrior Prince]]:
* [[Weapon of Choice]]
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
* [[The Wise Prince]]
