Tactics Ogre/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[The Fettered]]: Played straight in the Chaotic route {{spoiler|when Denam rejects the Duke’s offer to rejoin him. Otherwise, accepting it causes this trope to be subverted}}.

* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]:

** Lanselot Tartaros would never expect at his first face-to-face meeting with Denam that he would meet on that mere kid doing his Duke's errands ''his very equal'' in ability down the line.

* [[The Hero]]: His supporters refer to him as the Hero of Golyat. In contrast, he's labeled a butcher by those who vilify him.

* [[Duel Boss]]: In the Chaotic route.

* [[Evil Makeover]]: In the Chaotic and Neutral routes, in addition to getting a sadistic look on his face, his hair also inexplicably becomes more evil. He is often referred to as "Sadistic Vyce" in this form. In the PSP version, his appearance changes even more drastically, making him look like some kind of beast or demon.

* {{spoiler|[[Expy]]: In the second version of the game, he becomes this to Algus/Argath in the Chaotic route}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]: In the Chaotic and Neutral routes}}.

* [[Foil]]: Mainly to Denam, though he contrasts in some ways to Leonar as well.

* {{spoiler|[[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Both for the same character! His scars represent good in the Law route but evil in the Chaotic and Neutral routes}}.

* {{spoiler|[[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: In the Lawful route}}.

* [[Bad Boss]]: Especially in the Lawful route, in which he tries to micromanage the war.

* [[Fatal Flaw]]: In all three routes, it's his politicking that ends up being his undoing.

* [[For Want of a Nail]]:

** Denam's decision at Balmamusa has a big effect on Ronwey's later attitude: if Denam obeys him, the massacre goes as planned and Denam becomes his "champion"; this gives him the overconfidence that brings out his [[Fatal Flaw]] and causes his quick downfall. If Denam disobeys, the massacre still succeeds, but knowing that he has a fierce opposition in Denam makes him more cautious, and in turn this allows him to defeat Balbatos.

* [[Jigsaw Plot]]: Just like [[For Want of a Nail]] above, Ronwey's role is malleable:

* [[Not So Different]]: He at first pretends to be the "good" leader of the war, but the Balmamusa Massacre casts him in a much less flattering light, showing him to be little different from the other leaders.

 

A Walister who captains the Knights of Almorica. He serves as the right hand of Duke Ronwey, and is a vital member of the Resistance. His mother was killed by the Galgastani, which instilled in him a strong loyalty to the Walister.

 

* [[Came Back Wrong]]: {{spoiler|Courtesy of Nybeth, in all routes}}.

* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]: Leonar has few regrets about his actions in the war, {{spoiler|especially the Balmamusa Massacre}}.

* [[Implied Love Interest]]: It's all but confirmed he had an affair with Arycelle.

* [[Jigsaw Plot]]: Depending on what route you take, he either becomes a nice guy who tries to betray you at the end, is a nice guy regardless, or fights you anyways. Some considered it a letdown that he didn't join in Neutral, where he's always a nice guy.

* [[Suicide by Cop]]:

** Implied in the Chaotic route {{spoiler|where it's revealed that he purposely put all the dark-hearted resistance members in the path of Denam, and admits that Denam was right after he is mortally wounded}}.

* [[You Killed My Father|You Killed My Mother]]: His main reason for hating Galgastani people.

 

* [[Expy]]: She’s ''Tactics Ogre'''s answer to Agrias Oaks of ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]'' fame in almost every way.

* [[Guide Dang It]]: How do you recruit her?

* [[Half-Breed Discrimination]]: Due to being of mixed race between Walister and Galgastani, both ethnic groups have no trust on her.

* [[Knight In Shining Armor]]: One of the few characters able to access the White Knight class, formerly exclusive to Myrdin and Gildas.
