Line 46:
* [[Competitive Balance]]: Since [[Item Farming|farming enemies]] in ''Epic'' is the main source of real-life money and fights are used for settling conflicts, a focus on combat is established, and people don't usually choose classes with noncombat focus or seemingly gimmicky stats like Beauty.
* [[Complacent Gaming Syndrome]]: In-universe. Since "Epic" is [[Serious Business]], everyone sticks with the predictable classes, even though there are loads and loads of them.
* [[Cool Sword|Cool Swords]]: 'Thunder' and 'Lightning'. [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: {{spoiler|Svein Redbeard, after he realizes that his government is refusing help to people over a videogame. And he gets petrified, then thrown off the committee.}} Subverted, in that {{spoiler|he doesn't turn up to the battle, and later on wants to preserve the game and tries to kill Cindella.}}
* [[Digital Avatar]]: Naturally.

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Punched someone in the face? Onto the exile island with you. Enjoy third-rate seeds and rusty tool shipments.

** Cindella is a swashbuckler, and very good at taunting. Did she just use [[Monkey Island|Insult Swordfighting]] on a dragon?
** Epic's two moons are [[Castlevania|Sylvania]] and [[Metroid|Aridia]].
Line 120:
* [[Wallet of Holding]]: Averted. The heroes have to open a bank account and have clerks rummage through the dragon hoard they looted to see how much they actually made.
** To do large transactions, they get Djinns they can command to shift the money. But only nine times.
* [[What Happened to
* [[You Can't Get Ye Flask]]: For all its advanced AI and stunning realism, the dialogue system in ''Epic'' is pretty bad. Usually, players resort to [[Metal Gearing]] in order to get the NPCs to talk.
