* KickTheSonOfABitch: At times, Lloyd's cryptic words can come off as a KickTheDog, such as how many times he unprovokedly had to mention that [[spoiler:he killed Lavitz]] in front of Dart and Albert. But when he saved Wink as a PetTheDog moment, he contended with an extremely racist {{Jerkass}} Wingly, the younger Bardel, who killed his own brother for doubting their Wingly supremacist attitude and still insisting on vengeance on humanity. Lloyd, actually a fellow Wingly, had none of that shit and killed him in a short span of time, and fans would rather cheer on [[spoiler:Lavitz' killer]] for killing this jackass Wingly.

* HijackedDestiny: Miranda is the only Dragoon [[spoiler:who didn't own the Spirit prior]] that manages to take a Dragoon Spirit away from someone who was already chosen by it. [[spoiler:The implication is Shana was able to force it to work for her due to being the Moon Child, and upon encountering it's true chosen one immediately jumped ship to them.]]

** One
is that [[spoiler: Shana was able to force it to work for her due to being the Moon Child, and upon encountering it's true chosen one immediately jumped ship to them.]]
** The other is that [[spoiler:after the Divine Dragon destroyed the third Signet Sphere, the seal on the Virage Embryo weakened enough that it became incompatible with Dragoon Spirits, so the White-Silver Spirit rejected Shana and chose the next nearest person to meet its requirements.

* BonusBoss: Fairly well tied with [[spoiler: the Divine Dragon's spirit in Mayfil]] for toughest bonus battle. If he hits someone for their elemental weakness, they ''will'' feel it.

* BonusBoss: His ghost in Mayfil.



* BonusBoss: Its ghost in Mayfil.



* BonusBoss: His ghost in Mayfil, who's also ThatOneBoss.



* SNKBoss: His [[spoiler:Dragon Spirit in Mayfil]] is widely considered to be one of the hardest -- if not ''the'' hardest -- boss in the game.[[note]]The only exception is the FinalBoss, though that's by virtue of being a MarathonBoss.[[/note]] Unlike the first boss fight you can destroy neither the Ball nor the Cannon, which are now even ''more'' powerful than before (2,000+ damage from the cannon is being ''generous''), and he will spam them with wild abandon. He's also faster to the point where he can attack you two or three turns in a row; BonusBoss [[spoiler:Magician Faust]] also did this, but he was rendered almost completely helpless if you had a Legend Casque to neuter his magic, whereas the Divine Dragon can deal out as much physical punishment[[note]]Did we mention that Divine Ball and Divine Cannon count as physical?[[/note]] as it can magical. Good luck if you choose to fight this thing, because you're going to need it. Rose makes it clear just what you're in for when you fight this thing[[spoiler: the first time]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: There's a lot that hints to her [[spoiler:being the Black Monster]] before it's revealed, but there is some incredibly subtle foreshadowing [[spoiler:simply in her element related to the element of another party member. She is of the darkness element, and has dedicated her existence to killing the Moon Child each time they reincarnate. Darkness deals more damage against light element creatures. Now, ''which of the initial starting party members is light element?'']]

* NonElemental: A weird example in that he ''does'' have an element (Thunder), but for whatever reason, that element is completely exempt from the game's ElementalRockPaperScissors system, even going neutral against itself. This gives him a great advantage compared to the other party members, as he'll never need to worry about taking extra damage from any of the elements.

* DumpStat: An InUniverse example. According the game's CreationMyth, Soa, the CreatorDeity of the world, gave them much less intelligence than other other races to balance out their overwhelming power.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: ''Very'' different, to the point some resemble more Sci-Fi aliens than a traditional mythical dragon.

* AwesomeButImpractical: He may be a walking wall of muscles, but unfortunately despite his high strength, his rather pathetic additions and speed don't really allow him to take advantage of it. His magic stat is also minuscule, meaning his dragoon spells aren't that great, either. And that's only ''if'' the player [[GuideDangIt knows where to look]] to get his Dragoon Spirit relatively early on, as otherwise they'll need to wait until the ''end game dungeon'' for him to have access to it. His only real benefit is his naturally high HP, which can be used with the DrawAggro items to take some of the heat off the other members in combat.

However, being the Moon Child, she is naturally drawn to reunite with the Virage Embryo against her will. It's why when Frahma manages to remove the soul of the Virage from her and take it for himself, she's not particularly complaining about it.]]

* AntiFrustrsationFeatures: [[spoiler:Despite the animations for Shana's Dragoon spells implying she's taking advantage of her Moon Child powers ''on top'' of her Dragoon Powers]], Miranda's version of Shana's spells are virtually identical to Shana's in terms of power and healing, so her taking over her role isn't a big issue to the player. Also anything the player had done with Shana prior transfers over to Miranda upon her taking over her role in the party.
