Line 26:
* [[Action Girl]]: Foxy Erimia.
* [[Actually, I Am Him]]: Done quite a number of times by Surlent, due to his {{spoiler|body}} being stolen and {{spoiler|having to possess the bodies of two deceased people.}}
* [[A God Am I]]: {{spoiler|Dune}}, at the end.
* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]]
Line 52:
* [[Eccentric Mentor]]: Zora, she also classifies as the [[Cynical Mentor]].
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: {{spoiler|The unnamed destroyers that the Four Heroes defeated long ago; they later developed the Rudra cycle of destruction to accelerate evolution in order to create a species strong enough to resist the cosmic destroyers.}}
* [[Elemental Rock
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: {{spoiler|Hausen, Gomorrah, and Mitra cooked up the whole Rudra scheme to accelerate the evolution of life on Earth in hopes of eventually creating a race strong enough to break the cycle.}}
* [[Event Driven Clock]]
Line 59:
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Captain Taurus.}}
* [[Four Is Death]]: Squaresoft really did a number with this: 4 Jades, 4 Heroes, 4 Greats, 4 Rudras, 4 Divine Danans, 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, 4 characters per party, etc... also inevitably leading to [[Loads and Loads of Characters]].
* [[Floating Continent]]: The sky islands. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Until Sion causes them to fall.]]
* [[Forgotten Fallen Friend]]: Subverted ''hard''. Rostam and Huey, Sion's best friends, are killed off on day one. They're immediately forgotten and never mentioned again... or so it seems. Not only do they get a gorgeous optional cutscene all the way at the end of the story {{spoiler|in which they give Sion one of his best weapons}}, they also {{spoiler|get used by Surlent as his temporary host bodies for a ''huge'' chunk of the plot}}.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Sion is arguably the brightest character in the game.
Line 67:
* [[Holy Hand Grenade]]: Most of the Light Mantras.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: {{spoiler|Meifa}}
* [[
* [[It Got Worse]]: Surlent's plot. {{spoiler|First, he dies. Then his body is stolen. Then he gets to use someone else's body instead. ... which dies. So he uses someone ''else'''s body instead until he can get his own back. Which works for a while, until - wait for it - he dies and his body is stolen. And then, depending on the final actions you take during the end game, a main villain can subsequently kill and and steal his body.}}
** {{spoiler|Not only that, Surlent's body is fused with the Rudra that SURLENT HIMSELF CREATED through the Lago Stones}}
* [[Leitmotif]]: Each character has their own unique theme, which is remixed for overworld, boss battles, and flashbacks.
* [[Load
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Interestingly, there are more villains and/or supernatural beings than actual playable characters.
* [[Lost Forever]]: One of Riza's sidequests can be permanently missed if you [[Guide Dang It|don't pray at a certain statue that's difficult to find at the very beginning of the game]].
* [[Loveable Rogue]]: Dune. Cid, too. And Garlyle. Quite a bunch of them, actually.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: Played with; there's only one final ending, but Surlent's scenario can conclude--depending on whether you decide to [[What an Idiot!|give away]] the [[Sword of Plot Advancement]] as Sion or not--either with a traditional boss fight, or with Surlent {{spoiler|dying.}} '''{{spoiler|Again.}}'''
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Don't call Dune and Cid thieves. They're [[Final Fantasy VI|TREASURE HUNTERS]].
** It's even in the flavor text for Dune's best dagger, Freedom. "Call me a treasure hunter or..."
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Often. ''Very'' often.
** Probably most notably when Surlent {{spoiler|manages to unleash the Rudra of Humans by putting his soul into a sword. Thanks for ''speeding up the death of all humans,'' dude.}}
* [[One
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: Avdol was hit hard when {{spoiler|Hausen broke through a netherworld gate, flooding the entire town with Netherworld spirits turning everyone who lived there into the walking dead save the innkeeper. You could talk to them safely as Surlent when he is in Huey or Rostam's Body though.}}
* [[Peninsula of Power Leveling]]: At the beginning of Surlent's scenario, you have access to Sakkara Desert, which has powerful monsters which give about 50 times as much EXP and money, and also randomly drop a weapon which is much stronger than anything you could get for a while.
Line 120:
* [[Weapons Grade Vocabulary]]: The magic system is set up so that you can actually create spells with words ("FIRE" becomes a fireball, "HEAL" becomes a healing spell, etc.). However, if you create a spell with a word that isn't in the game's magic dictionary, you'll instead attack your enemy with the word you created.
* [[Weird Moon]]
* [[Well
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: {{spoiler|Riza calls Dune out when he wants to take over Mitra's evolution scheme.}}
* [[World Sundering]]
