History Characters / EtrianOdysseyI

* CatchPhrase: A downplayed example, but she consistently refers to your guild as 'kiddos'.

* CanadaEh: An Etrian Odyssey version, anyway. It's even called Ontario, [[spoiler:which is clearly the same place given the plot twist.]]

* BellyDancer: Both of the female Troubadours.

* BeefGate: The Wyvern can technically be fought as soon as it's encountered during the main quest, but its immense stats and level advantage ensure that it can't be beaten for a long time.

* WhatTheHellHero: It is implied that the Wyvern was keeping the Great Dragon away from her nest thanks to the cries she emitted from her fluted fangs. The party killing her just to get her Tough Fang gave the Great Dragon an opening to take over the Wyvern's nest.

* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: His portrait shows him pointing his spear towards the player.

* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: Her portrait as a party member is shown as if she points her gun towards the viewer.

* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: His portrait shows him just about to draw a sword towards the player.

* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: Her portrait shows her pointing the player with her sword.

* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: His portrait shows him pointing the player with his gauntlet.

* ATasteOfPower: While in the party during the mapping mission in ''The Millennium Girl'', their levels are in the early thirties.

* HeroKiiller: Killed Wealh in ''The Drowned City''.

* MightyGlacier: The remake drastically lowers their Agility, making them only faster than the Protector.
* PowerupLetdown: Arm Heal. Investing skill points into it only decreases its TP cost, from 2 to 1 with 5 skill points invested, to 0 when maxed. In the remake, it is replaced with Recover, which now can remove any bind from the Landsknecht and raise their max HP.

* LightningBruiser: The first game gave the Survivalists very good damage options alongside their high speed, which made them very strong. These damage numbers were {{nerf}}ed in the remake.

* CombatMedic: The great damage multipliers from ATK Up and Caduceus allows for a Medic to function this way. The remake tones down the multipliers a bit but also adds Clear Strike that scales off the Medic's good TEC stat.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: The remake grants them the Analysis skill, a buff that amplifies the damage they do when they hit an elemental weakness.

* BoringButPractical: Alchemists in the remake are a rather straightforward class: lots of elemental damage and group-hitting attacks, a few support skills and the ability to negate physical or elemental attacks to themselves for one turn. It's all they need to be a very effective class though, and their high TEC stat allows them to put many Grimoire skills to good use.

* PowerupLetdown: Maxing out Formula Mastery in the remake unlocks Pain Formula, which requires the Alchemist to be on the front row to use. Given the Alchemist's poor durability keeping them off the front line, and the fact that the associated skills are situational at best, many players simply opt to stick with their other more reliable elemental spells.

* UniversalPoison: Only in the first game -- the ability to poison has been removed in the remake, in exchange for a better condensed skill tree.

* QuirkyBard: Subverted. They're bards, but they're not exactly weak. Bards are quite useful in the main game and almost completely mandatory in the BonusDungeon.

* AllYourPowersCombined: The remake introduces Peerless Stance which buffs nearly all stats, scales according to the strength of each stance, and allows usage of skills from all three stances. The drawback to this is that it must be entered from another Stance and cannot be extended like the others, forcing the Ronin to spend extra turns to maintain it. [[note]]The Troubadour's Taboo Rondo skill, on the other hand, can extend this duration.[[/note]]

* SingleStrokeBattle: They can learn a passive skill that gives a chance to instantly cut down all enemies as soon as a battle starts.

* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: All of their skills can be learnt by playable Bushidous and Curse Makers (except for Chaos/Chaos Curse), but some of theirs have additional effects.

* PeekABangs: The red-haired male Landsknecht.

* PeekABangs: The blond male Alchemist.

* PeekABangs: The younger looking male Ronin has them.

* StatusBuffDispel: Can cancel the party's buffs by using Corrupt/Corrupted Howl[[labelnote:*]]呪われし遠吠え[[/labelnote]]. Nothing to write home about in the first game, but starting from ''II'', it is far more dangerous because it can Instant inflict Death or Curse randomly.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Gets a new skill called Armageddon in the remake, which can easily hit for thousands of damage while your HP is capped at three digits without the use of buffs. Worse yet, it is typeless damage meaning it can't be resisted by any means. Most strategies revolve around killing it before it evers gets to use this attack.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted in the Japanese versions with the introduction of the Amalgolem in the fifth game. They share the exact same name, which may be the reason the Golem from ''V'' received a DubNameChange.
* PaletteSwap: Another version of him called Silver Gate Guard appears as a MiniBoss in the mobile game. And the third mandatory boss of the Mobile game is a golden variant of him.

* CarryingTheWeakness: Regroup Tactic, the Limit skill unlocked for defeating Manticore in ''The Drowned City'', dispells ailments inflicted on the party at the end of the turn for its duration, which takes a lot of sting out of an ailment-focused boss.

* FlunkyBoss: ''The Fafnir Knight'' gives them he ability to activate their individual cores at various parts of the fight, which hit the party with an additional, increasingly strong, elemental attack each turn if not taken out. They can re-activate them as the fight drags on. Their ''Nexus'' versions keep the same ability, but the cores don't hit as hard.
* LegacyBossBattle: The sole mainline game the dragons aren't in is ''Beyond the Myth'' (which deliberately includes no enemies from previous installments); they even appear in ''Etrian Mystery Dungeon''. They are also absent in the mobile game (and replaced by some [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Suspiciously Similar Substitutes]]).

* JackOfAllTrades: Spear damage aside, he possesses a wide variety of buffs with varying effectiveness, encouraging use of the Grimoire system to transfer to other characters for best effect.

* MagicKnight: Joins the party already knowing a few sword techniques, and can be played as a combat unit.

* TheBigGuy: In terms of gameplay.

--> '''Arthur''': I just go "Zoom!" and it goes "Whoosh!" and then "Bam!" and the enemies are like "Noooooo!" and I'm all "Hahaha!"

--> '''Arthur''': It's easy! Just roll it out like 'Bam!' then tie it down like 'Wham!' and then you lie down like 'Oooooh!'

!!Chieftan Visil (ヴィズル, ''Vizurr'')

* HeroKiller: In ''III'', he annihilated Marion's guild, and the encounter left her heavily injured.
