* {{Bifauxnen}} - Suzette is kind of androgynous, which is probably why her crazy mother occasionally confused her for her older brother.

** Eh, not really. It's made ([[MindScrew kind of]]) clear that Suzette's mother mistaking her for her brother was more a result of SanitySlippage. And while she's a bit of a {{tomboy}}, she's still clearly a girl. {{YMMV}} on that bit, though.

* Action girl - Ellen

* Striperrific - The Twilight Cloak

* Stripperific - The Twilight Cloak

* HubLevel - Doolin itself, though Ellen and Keats each have their own respective hubs where the player can make them sleep to pass the time or save the game.

* [[spoiler: EldritchAbomination: Scarecrow becomes one for the final boss fight, transforming into a misshapen creature made out of what appears to be a mishmash of thousands of crows and a very pissed off Great Old One.]]

* NightmareFuelUnleaded - [[spoiler: Scarecrow's transformation into a monster.]]
** You mean the fact that the game starts lagging like crazy and it never seems to let up? [[CompletelyMissingThePoint I agree, that's every gamer's worst nightmare.]]
* NotSoHarmless: The denizens of Hellrealm seem fairly innocuous at first, giving you tips like most [=NPCs=] and discussing cloaks. The first little cracks of ugliness show when they wonder what you're doing in a realm for those who are to be punished...and suddenly they don't seem so harmless anymore when they decide to [[MindRape play a few rounds of]] BreakTheCutie with Ellen.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome - Keats gets quite a few, but Ellen can be surprisingly strong when she needs to be.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming - [[spoiler: The ending. While Keats seems to just sort of dismiss Ellen to focus on his "work", you can see in her eyes and smile that she knows how much both love each other. Also, the fact that Keats so easily accepts being a Halflife, just because he knows Ellen created him because she NEEDED him.]]
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The entire soundtrack was performed and recorded live, composed by four well-known composers (including Kenji Kawai and ShinjiHosoe), from the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Vg-870E4ck mysterious intro]] to the absolutely epic [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0slP2Eo0FmY orchestral ending]]. This game would not have its atmosphere and drama without tracks [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uWcSPhWjis like]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsjQIdK2V-0 these]].

* TearJerker - Many, this is a very emotional game.

* TheWoobie - Ellen.

''Folklore'' (known as ''[=FolksSoul=]'' in Japan) was a major early title for the Playstation 3, an action adventure game with some JRPG thrown in for spice that was heavily hyped going into the Christmas 2007 season. It features as our stars the young student Ellen, a MysteriousWaif with an amnesiac past, being summoned to the town of Doolin, Ireland by her dead mother. At the same time, Keats, a skeptical reporter for a third-rung occult magazine receives a phone call from Doolin begging him to save her from "The Faeries". These two characters meet up at the same place, only to find the woman who summoned them both has been murdered.

''Folklore'' stood out as a unique title in the (at the time) small library of Playstation 3 exclusives. [[{{Understatement}} While not a major hit]][[hottip:*:It sold 3% as many copies as ''FinalFantasyXIII'']], it has a devoted cult following, especially among fans of the role-playing genre. It also has a surprisingly deep, well developed storyline, with sympathetic characters. You'll be entranced by the story as you see what happens to the protagonists, you'll even come to care a lot for them, it is a VERY emotional game.

* TheBooRadley: [[spoiler: Livane, whom we find out is much more noble than she initially seems, and WAY more than the Fairy Lord.]]
