Line 55:
* [[Celestial Bureaucracy]]: {{spoiler|Battlefield 49 shows Asgard to have this situation}}.
* [[Chained by Fashion]]: Nessiah.
* [[Creepy Cool Crosses]]: The ankhs. Also the crosses seen at Lost Aries.▼
* [[Christmas Cake]]: Mistel. Lampshaded: she gets ''furious'' when Milanor calls her "Obasan" (she technically won't qualify for two more years!), and she flirts heavily with Durant and Roswell (though, the last is likely due to {{spoiler|the fact that her husband left her, and she's looking for a new one}}).
** And then she turns around and calls ''Eudy'' [[Christmas Cake]] ''to her face''.
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
* [[Costume Porn]]
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]
▲* [[Creepy Cool Crosses]]: The ankhs. Also the crosses seen at Lost Aries.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Of the extremely depressing variety, upon {{spoiler|commencing the invasion of Bronquia}}.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Emilia.
Line 114:
*** {{spoiler|Gulcasa might also be considered to have one, as his actions from Battlefield 18 are geared towards ensuring that he'll be able to call down Brongaa on the Royal Army's heads (BY KILLING HIMSELF) if the situation gets desperate enough. And ''boy does he try to''}}.
* [[Hide Your Lesbians]]: There's a fair amount of subtext between Zilva and Elena, none of which amounts to much due to {{spoiler|Zilva dying}}. In addition to this, there was definitely ''[[Did They or Didn't They?|something]]'' going on between {{spoiler|Gulcasa and Nessiah}} according to ''[[Yggdra Unison]]'' and ''[[Blaze Union]]''.
** This is also a case of {{spoiler|[[Bury Your Gays]]}}.
* [[Honorifics]]: Yggdra and Elena ''always'' use them. Nessiah uses them for ''everyone'' but Gulcasa.
** When Kylier calls Yggdra "Oujo-sama", the ''-sama'' is often written in katakana to show that she's being sarcastic.
Line 123 ⟶ 122:
*** And, of course, Nessiah still calls her "Yggdra-ou".
* [[Hot Springs Episode]]: One of the rare cases the North American version shows more than the Japanese.
* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: Almost every Embellian Undine subscribes to this viewpoint, mainly because some jerk human stole their means of survival. They use this as their justification for attacking completely unrelated humans to try to use their blood for eternal youth potion. {{spoiler|...Which turns out to be exactly how Nessiah, who set up the theft and fed them information about said potion, [[Unwitting Pawn|was hoping they'd react]]}}. Also interesting to note is that {{spoiler|for all the manipulating Nessiah did}}, none of it actually ''forced'' anyone to do anything evil. The Undines were ''tempted'' to use their loss as justification to vent their [[Fantastic Racism]] on humans, the [[Feuding Families]] in Verlaine were ''tempted'' to start a war over shiny toys, and Fantasinia and Bronquia were ''tempted'' to keep fighting, but in the end, it was always the rulers' own decisions that caused bloodshed, and if they had risen above the ugliness of human nature, everyone probably would have been fine (not to say that tempting them in the first place was a nice thing to do, [[Kick the Dog|as it wasn't]]).

* [[Idiot Ball]]: The entire cast spends Battlefield 18 passing it around (see also the [[Yggdra Union/Headscratchers|Just Bugs Me page]]).
{{quote|'''Royal Army:''' Yeah, so Yggdra's raring to kill Gulcasa and all, but she'll be fine, let's let her do her own thing for a while!
Line 215 ⟶ 213:
** Then there're scythes, which are strong against the sword-axe-lance triangle, ''and have no weakness''. Guess what is [[That One Boss|Gulcasa's]] [[Weapon of Choice]]?
*** And even worse, you have to get the PSP version to get a scythe-user on your side.
**** Not entirely. If you pick up the Stray Dragon item (which WAS in the GBA version), you can equip it to Durant, which changes him to Scythe user. Only lasts 3 maps though. Too bad.
*** Gulcasa wearing you down? Rosary is essentially a huge cockblock... Gulcasa can't do much against her. Of course, she can't do much back.
* [[Thematic Theme Tune]]: ''Hahen'' and ''patria'', which are technically the game's themes though they're only actually used for the radio show. Both are commonly considered to be Nessiah's [[Image Song]]s due to their content, and ''Hahen'' was also used to advertise ''[[Baroque (video game)|Baroque]]''.
Line 236 ⟶ 234:
*** All the new characters in ''[[Blaze Union]]'' leave the continent after that game, which is explicitly discussed in its epilogue. Eater in particular [[Gloria Union|goes worldhopping.]]
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]?: The heroes call themselves out on this when {{spoiler|during the counter-invasion of Bronquia, the Royal Army massacres an untrained civilian militia, wiping out most of a town's population}}.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: {{spoiler|Nessiah. Even if he dies, he is painfully resurrected shortly after, depending on the power level of the Gran Centurio at the time--: he actually introduces himself to the Royal Army by ''running himself through'' to remove himself from the war, only to show up eight battlefields later to tell them to get a move on. The Chains of Conviction do not ''allow'' him to die permanently, and we all know how much he wants them off}}.
** As quoted {{spoiler|in his special Skill, Reincarnation: ''Unable to live, unable to die... thy punishment is to repeat life eternally.''}}. Ouch.
* [[Why Won't You Die?]]: The Royal Army's reaction to the way {{spoiler|Gulcasa}} simply ''refuses'' to fall even after taking two to three severe beatings in rapid succession. Milanor in particular frustratedly demands to know how he's even still standing after so much blood loss and so many [[Rasputinian Death|mortal wounds]]. The answer? ''[[Determinator|Sheer willpower]]'', though {{spoiler|Gulcasa's [[Heroic RROD|abusing his demon blood]]}} can't have hurt.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: {{spoiler|#367 and her camera-shy fellow test subjects. At least according to the High Servant}}.
