Line 4:
You choose your main character from one of seven apprentices- a [[Jack of All Stats|fighter]], a [[Badass Grandpa|dwarf]], an [[Black Magician Girl|elf]], an [[Humanoid Aliens|alien]], a <s> robot</s> [[Cyber Cyclops|Tetujin]], a [[The Medic|priest]], and a [[Our Demons Are Different|demon]]. Trained by the wise King Lemele, you must venture out into the [[Cataclysm Backstory|oddly desolate world]] in search of [[Plot Coupon|seven Runes]]. What follows is a [[Cliché Storm|rather rote adventure, going through all the expected elements of contemporary JRPGs]]. To be honest, though, [[Excuse Plot|nobody's ever played it for its story]].
 
This game is notorious for the nasty tricks it pulls on the player. It's entirely possible for some characters to die on the very first monster they encounter. The amount of [[Level Grinding]] [[Forced Level Grinding|needed to get anywhere]] is very great, bordering on obscene with certain characters, but the game [[Cap|caps]] your level just a little too soon so you're never quite the level you need to be. Equipment is overpriced and underpowered. Monsters regularly thrown nasty [[Standard Status Effects|status effects and instant death attacks]] at you, when they're not [[Demonic Spiders|one-shotting you with physical attacks and magic]]. [[Difficulty By Region|Due to developer carelessness in the US and EU versions]], you get smaller bonuses upon levelup, and [[Game Breaking Bug|the game was not rebalanced accordingly]]. [[No -Gear Level|You lose your magic at one point]], and immediately after you get it back, {{spoiler|you lose the runes you've been depending on the whole game}}. To add insult to injury, you lose access to B. Protects, the only other way besides magic that you could've buffed your Defense.
 
And they expect you to like it.
Line 45:
* [[Lost Technology]]
* {{spoiler|[[MacGuffin Delivery Service]]: Once you obtain all of the runes, Gorsia steals their power and breaks them into pieces.}}
* [[Luck -Based Mission]]: Pretty much the entire game, really. Because many enemies can one-shot you just by using the right (or wrong, depending on how you look at it) attack, there are very, very many situations where your only hope of survival depends on how generous the Random Number God is feeling.
* [[Master of None]]: Kamil. Intended as a [[Jack of All Trades]], the stat growths bug leaves him worse than everybody at almost everything. Literally the ONLY two people he beats at ANYTHING are Lux and Wilme in MP and Valsu and Esuna in Power. Lejes or Olvan are better jack of all trades than Kamil is, due to having better growths and a better spell selection.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Dr. Fail. Yes, that's his name.
