Line 66:
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]] - The Ferines are all blonde. {{spoiler|Until they [[Heel Face Turn]]}}
* [[Blood Knight]]: Solon and Cashel.
* [[Bratty Half -Pint]] - Harriet.
* [[Break the Cutie]]:
** {{spoiler|Shirley. Done considerably well, too.}}
Line 128:
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Senel:''' Weren't you looking forward to performing the Rite of Feriyen? ...If you go on without me, how can I propose to you?}}}}
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]
* [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: Grune appears briefly in Werites Beacon in the scene where Senel first meets Jay.
* [[Easily Forgiven]] :{{spoiler|Maurits, Alcott/Stingle, Shirley, Senel, Jay, and Chloe}} all get easily forgiven then some crap they pulled at some point or other. In some cases, like with {{spoiler|Jay, who was blackmailed}}, it's completely reasonable, in others, like with {{spoiler|Maurits, who was evil by choice}}, it's highly confusing.
* [[Elemental Powers]]
* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: "Light" in this game is replaced with "Sea", which seems a little interesting...but then you realize that [[Fridge Brilliance|this means Spread and Aqua Laser are technically "light" spells]], and you can get these rather early, too. (Darkness is just called, "Curse") It makes a lot more sense given that [[Fridge Brilliance|Sea is holy in this universe]].
* [[Eleventh -Hour Superpower]]:
** The Quiet Nerifes gives these (story-wise) to everyone else so they can use them on the surface where nobody else can use Eres.
** Grune and Shirley. Grune doesn't join until ''very'' late in the main quest and only comes with a couple spells for most of it. Shirley likewise doesn't join until the character quests but this is ''especially'' true with Tidal Wave, since by the time you get it, the game is maybe 90%+ done.
Line 171:
* [[Good Is Impotent]]: Shirley.
* [[Good Morning, Crono]] - Senel being wakened by a different person each time is a running gag.
* [[Go Out Withwith a Smile]]: {{spoiler|Grune}}.
* [[Go Through Me]]: Fenimore for Shirley, {{spoiler|when the Captain of the Gadorian Knights attempts to kill Shirley. This, however, results in Fenimore's death.}}
* [[Got Me Doing It]]: Grune picks up on Norma's "Charge!", and it becomes her [[Catch Phrase]]. By the time anyone knows it, ''everyone'' is doing it.
Line 192:
** {{spoiler|Fenimore, for saving Shirley}}.
* [[Holy Hand Grenade]]: The God's Breath spell, which was incorrectly localized as Judgment, takes this to its logical extreme and hits all enemies in range with [[Incredibly Lame Pun|an actual holy hand]].
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Moses. Chloe starts out this way, but mellows out as her character develops.
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: Very, very frequently.
* [[Human Aliens]]: {{spoiler|The party thinks the Ferines are aliens. Turns out it's the Orerines that came from another planet.}}
Line 225:
{{quote| '''Jay''': I'm surprised you can eat that. It's worse than poison.}}
* [[Let's Meet the Meat]]: The skit resulting from equipping a Galf Cloak on Norma is definitely in the spirit of this trope.
* [[Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards]]: Inverted - The Iron Erens deal more damage than the crystal erens. The crystal erens still have their use though; especially since if you give them an item that regenerates lost TP (or cuts TP usage down) they'll be able to cast ''all day''.
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]] - Stella made Senel swear never to tell Shirley about his past or why their village got attacked. When Maurits eventually tells her that {{spoiler|Senel was one of Vaclav's [[Child Soldier]] graduates and a spy for Crusand's army}} at the worst possible time, she's ''much'' more upset about being kept in the dark than about what she's actually being told.
** Stella never specifically MADE him swear he wouldn't tell her. It was what he thought was her {{spoiler|dying wish}}, and promised her that he wouldn't tell Shirley.
Line 254:
* [[More Than Mind Control]]: {{spoiler|Nerifes}} does not actually completely take control of {{spoiler|Shirley's}} actions. {{spoiler|Shirley willingly turns against Senel and the others after what seems to be some convincing from Nerifes (and with no help from Maurits.) By definition, the Merines is the Nerifes' emmisary rather than puppet, though once the choice is made to serve Nerifes, it's hard to go back, as Shirley does try and fail to break free of her new mental state later on.}}
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Any of the playable girls can qualify, thanks to their tight outfits showing off their bodies, but Grune is arguably the worst offender.
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]]: Chloe. While she remains loyal to Gadoria, she certainly isn't a follower of the [[Jerkass|Captain of the Gadorian Knights]], who tells her to {{spoiler|kill the Merines}}.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Senel is far from excited when Norma gives him the nickname "Senny"/"Sene-Sene" (English, Japanese) upon their first meeting. Will and Chloe are also not pleased when Norma also nicknames them. Type D.
* [[Mysterious Waif]]: Grune
* [[New Game Plus+]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]:
** Senel's infamous decision {{spoiler|to reject Shirley's romantic feelings and "stay with Stella," even though Stella is dead. This is one of the factors in Shirley's decision to complete the [[Face Heel Turn|Rite of Accession]] and become [[Brainwashed and Crazy]].}}
Line 267:
{{quote| '''Jay''': Wait a minute. Isn't what she's doing contradicting that?<br />
'''Grune''': There is more than one way to {{spoiler|free people from their suffering}}. }}
* [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]]: Vaclav to Senel at the Ruins of Frozen Light.
* [[Noodle People]]
* [[No Sense of Humor]]: Walter.
Line 275:
* [[Nothing Can Stop Us Now]]: Melanie and Solon. In Melanie's case, she literally says, "This can't be happening!" after the party defeats her.
* [[Not So Different]]: Senel and Walter.
* [[Now Where Was I Going Again?]]: There is a journal Senel keeps in which he writes down events as they happen. The rest of the party also eventually begins to write, so it's all written in first person, with the author of the entry at the top.
* [[Numerical Hard]]: Especially when dealing with four or more Eggtopus monsters...
* [[Obviously Evil]]: Solon. It doesn't help that he, literally, stops and stares at Senel and Shirley when you first see him at Port-on-Rage before he continues on his way.
Line 318:
* [[Shipper On Deck]]: Norma, who does this to Senel and Chloe; although more often to Chloe.
* [[Ship Sinking]]: {{spoiler|Senel and Chloe during the character quests.}}
* [[Shout -Out]]:
** "STELLA!" may be one to ''[[A Streat Car Named Desire]]''.
** [[Kenichi Suzumura|Maybe it's because of his seiyuu]] [[Gundam Seed Destiny|and who he voiced.]]
Line 352:
* [[Too Good for This Sinful Earth]]: {{spoiler|Stella}}
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: {{spoiler|Shirley, during her [[Face Heel Turn]].}}
* [[Trauma -Induced Amnesia]]: Shirley, after {{spoiler|failing the Rite of Accession the first time}}.
* [[Trial Balloon Question]]: Norma and Chloe say some pretty rude things about the Ferines before they find out Shirley ''is'' actually one of them. This came up from the rumors of her being the Merines.
* [[Trick Twist]]: While researching The Legacy's origins, it appears as if {{spoiler|The Ferines had originally come from outer space}}; it turns out that {{spoiler|it was the ''humans'' who had invaded their planet long ago. Jay had figured out the truth though}}.
Line 373:
* [[Warmup Boss]]: Moses and Giet in chapter one.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] - Senel, although he's a ''lot'' less [[Bishounen|effeminate]] than most examples of the trope.
* [[Would You Like to Hear How They Died?]]: Although not hitting this trope on the dot, Solon still manages to hit it with his description of how he ''wants'' to kill the Oresoren.
* [[Yandere]] - {{spoiler|Shirley}} during her mental breakdown and possession by Nerifes. She gets better afterwards, not that [[Die for Our Ship|the fangirls have taken notice...]]
** To be fair, she still has some... moments, even in the Character Quests. There's one in particular towards Norma, but it's [[Played for Laughs]].
