Line 41:
* [[Master Of All]]: In the remake, his Lord class becomes [[Game Breaker|horribly overpowered]]. He not only has the [[Dual Wield]] from the original; he gains access to ''every single spell in the game'' and '''''every command skill he masters in other classes'''''.
* [[Nice Guy]]: It sometimes leads him to being a [[Dogged Nice Guy]] to Catiua and Vyce on the Neutral and Chaotic routes.
* [[No Place for Me There]]: {{spoiler|Denam leaves Valeria at the end, thinking [[These Hands Have Killed|he's killed so many people]] over the course of the Heim Conflict that his presence would only hinder his sister's new reign of peace over the islands. He goes to Xenobia at Lanselot's suggestion
* [[Not So Different]]: Used against Denam by Xaebos and Balxephon in the Lawful route.
** A more optimistic version of this trope can be used by Denam to recruit certain characters in the same route.
* [[Not So Stoic]]: Although Denam may come across as stoic and calm to some people (particularly Deneb), he does have his moments of being emotional from time to time. {{spoiler|Most notably when his father dies, where even in the first version of the game, there was a portrait for Denim crying just for that one scene. Then in the second version, the portrait of him crying is even more detailed}}.
* [[These Hands Have Killed]]: While killing Galgastani troops never seemed to bother Denam, he immediately invokes this trope {{spoiler|right after slaughtering the civilians of Balmamusa or killing his own compatriots to hold off the massacre}}.
** {{spoiler|This is also what causes Denam to [[Walking The Earth|go to Xenobia at Lanselot's suggestion]]: his killcount leads him to think [[No Place for Me There|his presence and fame would harm Catiua's newly-installed peaceful reign]]
* [[Think Nothing of It]]: Be fully assured that Denam's not in this for fame, fortune or power. He only wants the war to end and that's it.
* [[Time Travel]]: The Chariot mechanic in the remake is heavily implied to be an ability of his, to the point that not only he can alter the course of a battle, he can also ''access different timelines'' and, as shown in CODA, {{spoiler|''fix certain events''}}.
* [[Underdogs Never Lose]]: No one expected a mere resistance fighter to ascend that high on the food chain, did they?
* [[Walking the Earth]]: {{spoiler|In the ending where Catiua becomes Queen of Valeria, he goes to Xenobia where Lanselot originally came from
* [[We Cannot Go on Without You]]: If he dies/loses all his lives, it's game over.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]:
Line 68:
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling|Annoying Older Sibling]]: It's telling that Denam has problems putting up with her attitude for a portion of the game.
* [[Badass Preacher]]: Catiua's exclusive starting class Priest is one of the few classes that can use offensive divine magic.
* [[Badass Princess]]: {{spoiler|Her Princess class is comparable to both advanced magic users and advanced fighters
* [[Barrier Maiden]]: {{spoiler|Her very ''existence'' can open a Chaos Gate under the Hanging Gardens and the Palace of the Dead. Why is that? It's because King Dorgalua thought she was dead; he tried to do an [[Orphean Rescue]] and locked the door to the Underworld with her as the key because that would be both his way out, and a way to stop other things to get out. The fact that she wasn't dead ]]Gone Horribly Wrong|made things infinitesimally worse for him]]
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Partially subverted by Catiua who doesn't seem to care much about anything other than Denam and herself. She comes to grow out of this by the end.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Vyce chastises her for sweet-talking the Xenobians into helping them out. In the first version of the game, he even shouts at her, "What a bitch!!".
* [[Black Magic|Black Mage]]: Catiua's final class allows her to make full use of every elemental magic available (including the powerful draconic spells). The remake didn't change much of this.
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: Heavily implied on Catiua's part in the first version of the game, but made less-emotional and more passive-aggressive in the second version. In general, her motivation for {{spoiler|doing all that crazy stuff like betraying Denam and joining the Dark Knights}} is linked to her wanting to be with him.
* [[Cry Cute]]: {{spoiler|If Denam succeeds at talking her out of her [[Face-Heel Turn]], complete with running make-up and falling to her knees. She's been your haughty, possessive older sister for the whole game and then she just suddenly becomes a vulnerable little girl who regrets what she has done and begs his brother's forgiveness
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: In the Chaos route, when Xapan kidnaps her at Rhime. This condition only lasts for a few missions though.
* {{spoiler|[[Despair Event Horizon]]: Once she thinks that Denam has abandoned her in favor of pursuing revolution, she becomes desperate and ends up joining the Dark Knights. If you run the wrong dialogue after fighting Tartaros in Barnicia, [[Driven to Suicide|she will stab herself in front of Denam]]
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{Joking Mode|Not everyone can handle the burden of being an important character in a Yasumi Matsuno game}}. Jokes aside, {{spoiler|if you choose the wrong dialogue in Barnicia, Catiua will kill herself due to crossing a [[Despair Event Horizon]] and Denam's [[Poor Communication Kills|lack of communication]]
* [[Evil Makeover]]: {{spoiler|During her time with the Dark Knights, she dons a new black outfit, puts on a darker shade of lip color, and changes to an evil version of her original class
* [[Face-Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|After leaving Denam's party in Chapter 3, she's coaxed by Tartaros into joining the Dark Knights when he tells her of [[Heroic Bastard|her true heritage]]
* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Some of the promo artworks depict Catiua holding a sword, but her in-game class forces her to wield staves and cudgels instead.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: How to {{spoiler|stop her from committing suicide, as well as keeping her out of the preceding battle against Lanselot Tartaros in Barnicia Castle, which also involves a dialogue choice with Mreuva on Banhamoba Shrine after you rescue him. While she would only join the battle if you went neutral (due to difference on circumstances surrounding her fight with Denam between the SNES and [[PS 1]] versions), it's possible for her to join the battle under ''any'' circumstance}}.
