Line 5:
** Also, the entire game is a bit of a [[Base Breaker]] for the ''Tales'' fandom.
* [[Better Than It Sounds Video Games]]
* [[Boring but Practical]]: In order to play to elemental weaknesses later in the game, basically having Grune spam Curse and sea spells. Although mostly in the main quest, you'll have Grune spam "Bloody howling" as it's literally her ''only'' spell for a lot of the time before the character quests. Basically...if oyu wanna use Grune for magic damage, expect to see and hear a lot of "Bloody howling".
** Healing in this game is basically "Revive" or "First aid", later on "Cure". There's no real "heal over time" effects like in other [[Tales
* [[Character Tiers]]
** Shirley is a bit of a [[Tier
*** Casters in general are [[Overshadowed
** The melees are basically top tier because of how the melee works; it's overpowered. However; they are much more likely to run out of TP if they spam Eres.
*** It certainly doesn't help that melee fighters can use the Extreme Symbol, which skyrockets physical attack power in exchange for cutting defense in half. The trade-off is so very worth it; [[Game Breaker|the character equipped with the symbol will deal absolutely absurd damage]]. For example, Senel using the symbol and wielding a elemental weapon that an enemy is weak to can easily break 10,000 damage with a single throw move. Spells tend to top off at about 2000-3000 damage, and take a lot of time to cast.
* [[Complete Monster]] - Jay's adoptive father, Solon. Vaclav is right up there, too, as is the captain of the Gadorian Knights.
** Vaclav could go for this {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Boss|before his death]]}} alone; and it's only after that we find out [[Playing
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Really, any time the Gadorian Knight captain gets his ass kicked. The second time doubles as a-
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Poppo translating the Grand Gaet's language. Apparently, they bro speak.
** Whenever Norma sleep talks.
** Also the Star Festival Event. Mostly Will's wish.
{{quote|
*** Norma's wish as well. Along with her explanation.
{{quote|
Norma: Don't sound so disgusted! It's a really serious problem for me! I haven't been growing at all lately!" I'm not asking for a G-Girl level, but a C at least! ... So to speak...
Chloe: Leave me out of this. ... Besides, if you're going to shoot for someone, surely it should be Grune, not me.
Norma: *Sigh*
Chloe: Wh... what?
Norma: This is why I hate dealing with amateurs! You don't get it! You don't get it at all! Do you have any idea what it's like to be flat as a board?! Huh?! It ain't easy, you know!
Chloe: Ah--
Norma: G-Girl's beyond human! She's the ultimate work of art! A miracle to behold! In the realm of the gods! Do you think I could win against a god?! She's like every man's dream! You know what I am? I'm every carpenter's dream! So me and my pancakes have to shoot for something more realistic. That's you and yours, C, so shut up! Even I know there's no way for a girl with mosquito bites like me to match G-Girl at this point short of the Everlight and that's way gone! You should really take pity on the less endowed, you insensitive clod! How can you not understand the complexities of the female heart, C?! Unbelievable! }}
*** {{spoiler|This becomes a [[Funny Aneurism Moment]] later when you learn that Grune ''is'' a god.}}
** The Bantam Bouncers. They look like they came out of a Disco Music Video, and get the crap beaten out of them by Senel. Despite being beaten up so easily, they wind up being able to kick ass if they want to.
*** Course it's also pretty funny to hear them sing and beat up people who break the rules. Especially when the Oresoren and Norma join in about 20 or so hours after the last time they sang.
*** "The boy is here, we found him at last! Let's hurry up and kick his a-"
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] - Jay's Character Quest, before the party heads for Mirage Palace.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] - Go Shiina's soundtrack was pure awesome. ''Every. Single. Track.'' of it.
** This troper just replayed the game, and the two, brief cutscenes {{spoiler|when the cannon is first fired}} probably have her favorite tracks. And they're ''really'' brief.
** What really helped was the motif of the game {{spoiler|The sea}}, as well as the general atmosphere just plain ''FIT'' with the soundtrack. The usual composer(s) of the [[Tales
* [[Die for Our Ship]] - Shirley
** Chloe and Stella also suffer this, with the latter {{spoiler|actually dying in canon}}, but much less notably than Shirley does.
Line 48:
** Elsa and Chloe. Elsa gets very excited about Chloe, and even once insisted that she and Chloe were out on a date when they were talking a walk. [[All Love Is Unrequited|Chloe does not return Elsa's feelings]], but doesn't seem to be too weirded out...
** Shirley and Fenimore:
{{quote|
I just acted like you... Ahh... ''That isn't like me at all...'' }}
** Norma and Grune also seem to have this air about them, as do Norma/Shirley and Norma/Chloe to a lesser extent.
** Shirley and Chloe have a slight feeling of it past Chloe's character quest, but [[Ship-to-Ship Combat|try telling that to the shippers.]]
* [[Love to Hate]]: Maurits, Walter, and Shirley whenever they're the villains.
* [[Memetic Molester]]: Hell, half of Legendia's fans probably think this is half the role Solon is meant to play in the game.
* [[
{{quote|
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Maurits; although he is [[Easily Forgiven]]. Also, Solon, who just keeps crossing it.
* [[Narm]] - Senel screaming <s>Stella!</s> '''''"STELLAAAAAAA!!"''''' during her {{spoiler|death sequence}}
Line 62:
* [[Needs More Love]]: Many of Legendia's fans believe so.
* [[Purity Sue]] - Stella, as touted by Senel. {{spoiler|Eventually subverted when it's revealed through flashbacks that she was quite an ass to her little sister Shirley, but then Shirley herself doesn't seem to mind--and as Shirley is [[The Scrappy]] to part of the fandom, [[Misaimed Fandom|that part of the fandom]] [[Moral Dissonance|generally doesn't care]].}} To be fair, it may be precisely ''because of'' the fact that we only know her through Senel that she comes off as Suetiful, but then again she is {{spoiler|[[Too Good for This Sinful Earth]]}}...
** Stella's Suetifulness is actually an [[Informed Attribute]]. Senel is {{spoiler|head-over-heels in love with her}}, so [[Fridge Brilliance|it makes sense that]] [[Unreliable Narrator|he would only portray her as a]] [[Purity Sue]] [[From a Certain Point of View|while overlooking her negative aspects]]. Also, don't forget that {{spoiler|her death}} is extremely ''un''Suetiful as it solves nothing in the grand scheme of things and only serves to make the world's situation even ''[[It Got Worse|worse]]''. In fact, it's not long afterwards that Shirley {{spoiler|crosses the [[Despair Event Horizon]] and becomes an [[Omnicidal Maniac]]... ''[[Serial Escalation|and then Senel]] [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|screws that situation up even more]]''.}} It seems Bamco had a ''lot'' of fun [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstructing the]] [[Purity Sue]] trope.
* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]] - Shirley often receives this treatment from rabid Chloe fans.
* [[Ron the Death Eater]] - Shirley (surprise) and Senel get this the most.
* [[The Scrappy]] - Shirley.
** Although there are some who think that she's [[Rescued
** Or, if nothing in this game does it, ''Tales of the World: Raidant Mythology 3'' might.
* [[Scrappy Level]] - Everybody hates the Waterway and hate it even more when having to do it a second time in the Character Quests. It's not a bad level, it's just painfully long!
