Tales of Vesperia/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Fridge Horror

  • In Tales of Vesperia, at one point Yuri and company are arrested by a group of the Royal Knights, and they read him his rap sheet. We only see one bit of it, a throw-away line about how Yuri once threw one of the knights into the river when he came to collect taxes. These knights wear heavy plate armor. Yuri tried to kill someone for doing his job. And that was only the eighteenth charge on the list.
    • YMMV on that one. Their armor is outright stated at the beginning of the game to be very very thin. If a palm-sized rock is enough to knock a guy out (despite his helmet) the armor couldn't be very heavy. Its possible that he still could have drowned with the accumulated weight, but not likely.
      • Still an awful dick move on them, though, especially when used as humor.
      • Compared to historical protests against tax collectors, this Troper viewed it as light.
  • Yay! You've destroyed all the Blastia! Isn't that great guy with a blastia for a heart . . . Oh Crap. Just as he was starting to not be a Death Seeker too.
    • Which leads to the Fridge Logic: the ending shows that he did, in fact, live. How?
      • This is sort-of addressed in the game; his blastia is unconventional; it doesn't run on aer, but on his own lifeforce. As such, presumably it was not converted.
