* Plots that [[Invoked Trope|start]] as [[Cliché Storm|Cliche Storms]] but later go on to [[Subverted Trope|subvert]] and [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstruct]] the very tropes they employ, often by [[Deconstructor Fleet|drastically highlighting the nasty downsides]] of them. This is one of the main reasons why the games have a fanbase.

=== Common and recurring gameplay elements: ===
* A real-time combat system called some variation on the Linear Motion Battle System (LMBS). The player controls one character, while the other battle characters are controlled by the AI and follow general commands. The battle system is reminiscent of a 2D fighting game, and focuses on chaining moves together.
* Combat techniques known as "Artes". Advanced techniques are known as "Arcane Artes". The combo system is often based upon chaining Artes into Arcane Artes.
