** thăm ngàn[[labelnote:Explanation]]Taken from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajxj6chgUI4 this anti-alcohol ad from Thailand]], the ad describes a man who [[DrowningMySorrows went to a constant drunken rage]] before realizing the error of his ways and start working non-stop until [[EarnYourHappyEnding he became rich enough and raise a wealthy and happy family and improve the livelihood of the country]]. The ad has been taken by playerbases of games with grindy progression, especially Granblue fans, for it's tongue in-cheek similarities with your typical Granblue players who grind the game nonstop to obtain all the needed materials for their characters and weapon grid.[[/labelnote]]

*** THE DARK TAX IS REAL?! [[labelnote:Explanation]]''However,'' with the release of new endgame raids like Super Ultimate Bahamut, Hexachromatic Hierarch, and Dark Rapture Zero, several endgame players began to notice that Dark actually ''struggles'' in said endgame content. The element promptly became known for packing amazing burst damage... ''[[CripplingOverspecialization but that's it]]''. The mere fact that the famous golden child element of Granblue was actually suffering did not escape the notice of many shocked players.[[/labelnote]]

* "So this is the island the rumors speak of." [[labelnote:Explanation]]All Guild Wars events open up with a story cutscene, with this line coming from Vyrn being the first line of dialogue to appear. It has rather evolved into the following related phrases that are also repeated by the fandom whenever a Guild Wars event starts.[[/labelnote]]

* "Gulp, so this is the island they speak of."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The intro to Unite and Fight has Vyrn say this line as the very first thing every time it starts. Given that Unite and Fight is something players frequently do over just one year for the game, it's been poked fun at how it constantly reset and quote it word for word every time it begins.[[/labelnote]]

* Water is truly the gayest element.[[labelnote:Explanation]] Due to the high amount of HoYay and LesYay among the Water-element characters (Silva/Tweyen, Yuel/Societte, Lancelot/Vane, Gabriel/Europa, Anne/Summer Grea, Summer Sandalphon, Sahli Lao/Milleore), Water has been dubbed "the gayest element". Also, because it makes people... ''[[IncrediblyLamePun wet,]]'' heh.[[/labelnote]]

** Water is the scariest/most sadistic element.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Many of the Water-element bosses are infamous for being ThatOneBoss, usually due to packing nasty crippling debuffs against the party, Europa in particular being infamous for her Held Under debuff (causes heavy damage over time, prevents healing, AND also comes with Blind), and her and Leviathan Omega's Azure Spike debuff (forcibly changes the party's attacks into Water elemental and heals the boss for every attack they land). Gabriel is also considered among many players to be the most difficult of the Four Primarchs to face.[[/labelnote]]

** '''Hrunting''' is the best Earth character in the game[[labelnote:Explanation]]Late December 2022 saw the release of Illustrous Weapons, set of Gold Moon exclusive weapons that pretty much powercrept the Superlative weapons by a good bunch, on top of being 50-moons more expensive. Among one of them is Hrunting, an Earth Sabre that gives the wielding Captain the properties of Fire Siegfried, strength and weakness and all, except that the strength greatly outweighs the drawbacks, to the point that the drawbacks were actually more beneficial than anything. It's so strong that it's considered your second most picked Illustrous Weapon after Ereshkigal, and probably the reason for playing Earth again. Similar to the Ereshkigal, many fans are joking that the Hrunting is considered the best Earth character in the game, in the same league (if not stronger) of both Threo and Eahta of the Eternals, despite being a mere mainhand weapon.[[/labelnote]]

* Good luck, Enyo.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Enyo's Fate Episode has her express a desire to enjoy Gran/Djeeta's suffering by planning to murder the entire crew one by one. Considering the crew has people like Lucio and Shalem (literal gods), Sandalphon (the Supreme Primarch), Zooey, Yuni, and Cosmos (godlike primals who preside over balance), the Eternals (the strongest skyfarers in the realm), the Six Dragons (the elemental wedges of the world), the Four Primarchs (self-explanatory), and Nier ({{Yandere}} and ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend incarnate), many players expressed amusement at [[TooDumbToLive Enyo's]] SuicidalOverconfidence.[[/labelnote]]
