Tales of Phantasia/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

* [[Fight in The Nude]]- Slightly averted. In the original, Cless' weapon graphic changes to reflect its type - a sword, axe, spear or halberd. In the remakes, both weapon and shield graphics are unique for each piece of equipment.

* [[The Hero]]

* [[Infinity ~~Plus One~~ Sword]]- [[Public Domain Artifact|Excalibur and Gungnir 3]].

* [[Infinity+1 Sword]]- [[Public Domain Artifact|Excalibur and Gungnir 3]].

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]- Subverted - the Muramasa is the best ''slash'' weapon when you can first get it, but has low stabbing power, gets overthrown eventually, and is finally left in the dust by the Arthurian and Norse-based [[Infinity ~~Plus One~~ Sword|Infinity Plus One Swords]]

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]- Subverted - the Muramasa is the best ''slash'' weapon when you can first get it, but has low stabbing power, gets overthrown eventually, and is finally left in the dust by the Arthurian and Norse-based [[Infinity+1 Sword|Infinity Plus One Swords]]

* [[Names to Know In Anime]]- [[Takeshi Kusao]]

** Also his English VA in the OVA, [[Johnny Yong Bosch]]. And if [[Tales of the World|Radiant Mythology]] is any indication, Bosch will probably voice him again if Cress appears in another English Tales game.

* [[Nice Hat]]- A headband, technically, but it's still a signature piece of his outfit, and you can win it by beating him up in the ''[[Tales of Eternia (Video Game)|Tales of Eternia]]'' cameo battle.

* [[Spell My Name With an S]]- His name was initially translated as Cless Alvein, but in both ''[[Tales of Destiny (Video Game)|Tales of Destiny]]'' and ''[[Tales of Eternia (Video Game)|Tales of Eternia]]'' it was localized as Cress Albain. And in the GBA version of ''Phantasia'' it was changed to Cress Albane. Cress ultimately makes more sense, as it's a type of herb, like Mint.

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]- His name was initially translated as Cless Alvein, but in both ''[[Tales of Destiny (Video Game)|Tales of Destiny]]'' and ''[[Tales of Eternia (Video Game)|Tales of Eternia]]'' it was localized as Cress Albain. And in the GBA version of ''Phantasia'' it was changed to Cress Albane. Cress ultimately makes more sense, as it's a type of herb, like Mint.

* [[Sword of Plot Advancement]]- The Eternal Sword

Line 67:

* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]- With his assistant, Mirald. [[Blatant Lies|You're a fool if you buy it]].

* [[The Smart Guy]]

* [[Spell My Name With an S]]- His name was translated as Clark in ''[[Tales of Eternia (Video Game)|Tales of Eternia]]'', and as Claus in the Gameboy Advance version of Phantasia, there's a chance he'll become Klarth once more if the route ''Radiant Mythology'' took is taken.

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]- His name was translated as Clark in ''[[Tales of Eternia (Video Game)|Tales of Eternia]]'', and as Claus in the Gameboy Advance version of Phantasia, there's a chance he'll become Klarth once more if the route ''Radiant Mythology'' took is taken.

* [[Summon Magic]]

* [[Throw the Book At Them]]

* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]- Nobody ever comments on his bizarre outfit and tattoos, even though he's the one always explaining the situation to political and military leaders...

* [[White Haired Pretty Boy]]

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]

-----

Line 91:

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]- Her weapon is a broom. That flies.

* [[Lethal Chef]]

* [[Mayfly December Romance]]- She's a half-elf, so her life span is much longer than a human's. She and Chester end up in a relationship, even though she is over a hundred years older than he is, and he will die long before her.

* [[Mayfly-December Romance]]- She's a half-elf, so her life span is much longer than a human's. She and Chester end up in a relationship, even though she is over a hundred years older than he is, and he will die long before her.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]- A line from the DeJap [[Fan Translation]]- "I bet Arche fucks like a tiger."

* [[Names to Know In Anime]]- [[Mika Kanai]]

* [[Never Say Goodbye]] - Arche refuses to bid her friends from 100 and 150 years past her time goodbye when she returns to her own era at the end of the game, but this is because, unlike Klarth, she's a Half-Elf and her lifespan is such that she'll outlive them.

* [[Pettanko]]

* [[Rose Haired Girl]]

* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]

* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]- with Chester

* [[Tsundere]]

* [[Who Wants to Live Forever]]- She won't live forever per se, but she'll still vastly outlive all her friends, and does suffer from the angst associated with this trope.

* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]- She won't live forever per se, but she'll still vastly outlive all her friends, and does suffer from the angst associated with this trope.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Pink Hair]]

Line 126:

* [[Put On a Bus]] - Misses out on a considerable length of game when Cless and Mint leave him behind when they travel to the past.

* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]- His relationship with Arche starts out a bit... rough.

* [[Spell My Name With an S]]- His last name was translated as Burklight in the Gameboy Advance version of Phantasia, and it was translated to (the technically correct) Barklight in Radiant Mythology.

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]- His last name was translated as Burklight in the Gameboy Advance version of Phantasia, and it was translated to (the technically correct) Barklight in Radiant Mythology.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]

* [[You Killed My Father|You Killed My Little Sister]]: Chester takes it even further than Cless ever did.

Line 143:

* [[Emotionless Girl]]

* [[Guide Dang It]]- Getting her to join you is... annoying, to say the least.

* [[Highly Visible Ninja]]- It's not a bright color, but her suit is pinkish-red.

* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]- It's not a bright color, but her suit is pinkish-red.

* [[Little Miss Badass]]- You know it!

* [[Ninja]]

Line 149:

* [[Sixth Ranger]]

* [[Tear Jerker]]- Her backstory as a whole

* [[Token Mini Moe]]

* [[Token Mini-Moe]]

Line 172:

* {{spoiler|[[Restored My Faith in Humanity]]: According to the ''Tales'' wiki, his spirit comes to understand that he's [[Not So Different]] from humans and that the darkness in both their hearts must not be expelled but, rather, controlled.}}

* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]- he was sealed away by Cless's, Mint's, and Morrison's ancestors when he first came to Aselia.

* [[That One Boss]]- Especially so. You fight him 3 separate times (including the 3-round final battle where he has [[One Winged Angel|two extra forms]]), and every last one will have you pulling your hair out in frustration.

* [[That One Boss]]- Especially so. You fight him 3 separate times (including the 3-round final battle where he has [[One-Winged Angel|two extra forms]]), and every last one will have you pulling your hair out in frustration.

** [[Your Mileage May Vary|On the other hand]], at least one of his final battle forms can be an [[Anticlimatic Boss]] if you can keep him from casting; it's possible to [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb-stomp him so badly he only manages to get off a single attack]].

* [[The Other Darrin]]- Dhaos's first voice actor died.

* {{spoiler|[[The Wise Prince|The Wise King]]: Until he came to Aselia...}}

* [[We Could Have Avoided All This]]

* [[Well Intentioned Extremist]]- Not very well done in the game, however. The OVA fixed it by making him much more sympathetic.
