Added Self-Harm trope
Added DiffLines:
* SelfHarm: Downplayed for the most part. The Costume will reduce David's max HP to 100 no matter how many Life Bubbles he's found. Only really an issue if he needs healing and is wearing the costume for any length of time.

Added Mighty Glacier
Added DiffLines:
* MightyGlacier: They take a long time to fire, and the bullets can be fairly easy to avoid so long as David keeps moving, but the Mortars in the Army World during B5 can hit for regular damage...but a solid, straight on hit can deal upwards of 70+ damage, which by that point is about a third of David's HP, more than any other enemy.

Added Boring But Practical, Collection Sidequest, and Skewed Priorities
Added DiffLines:
* BoringButPractical: The Shield spell, which costs 1 Fire, Earth, and Water capsule. Though it costs quite a few capsules to cast, it repels all damage several times before it dissipates.
Added DiffLines:
* CollectionSidequest: Of sorts. Rescuing the missing villagers is the main objective aside from discovering the evil behind the abductions, and while there's a few times you're required to do so in order to progress, a number of them are found in side rooms or behind puzzles. Rescuing them does nothing for you, but those you've found will begin to reappear in the town above.
Added DiffLines:
* SkewedPriorities: "Are my cows safe?" asks the man ''in the deepest level of the dungeon and thus among the closest to the god, Ramiah, to whom he's intended as a sacrifice''.

Added Awesome But Impractical, Interface Spoiler, and Mana Potion
Added DiffLines:
* AwesomeButImpractical:
** The Judgment spell looks awesome, being a spell that hits every enemy in a room and deals damage three times before the spell expires while stunlocking them at the same time. Unfortunately, it's the most expensive spell, requiring a capsule from ''ALL'' elements in order to cast, and on average deals only about 15 damage (5 per hit), when other spells tend to average around 18-25 damage while being a lot cheaper.
** If you're desperate, the Heal spell, which costs only 1 Water capsule, heals 10HP per cast. Unfortunately, food drops so commonly that it's too much of a waste to use the spell as anything but a last resort if you've already exhausted your healing supply. Otherwise, it's better to just save your Water capsules for other spell combinations.

Added DiffLines:
* InterfaceSpoiler: Oddly inverted. Examining the equipment screen would seem to indicate that there's 8 different swords and only 5 each of armors and gauntlets. That's because there's several more found as extremely rare drops from enemies
Added DiffLines:
* ManaPotion: Of sorts, which most players [[GuideDangIt likely never figure out without experimentation or a guide]], but the Green Potion bought in the Wizard Guild's Shop will fully max out all magic capsules at 99.

Added Heart Container
Added DiffLines:
* HeartContainer: Life Max items are found in chests throughout the dungeons, adding another bubble to David's HP bar. Each bubble is another 10HP. David starts with 10 bubbles for 100HP and can find 10 more, for a cap of 200HP

Added Artificial Stupidity and Have a Nice Death
Added DiffLines:
* ArtificialStupidity: A bit of an unintentionally hilarious one, but the mechanics of the Costume item (which disguises David as a particularly pale orc) means that he can enter a room as his regular self, alert all the orcs in the room and even be attacked, yet as soon as he goes into his inventory and uses the item, they immediately forget that they had watched a blonde man in armor and with a sword waltz in and put on a costume. "You smell like a human!" indeed...
** Even funnier? If you align yourself just right, you can murder any orc with your mace. Once again, the mechanics of the costume ensures they never fight back. In fact, much of the 3rd floor can be rendered a total cakewalk this way.

Added DiffLines:
* HaveANiceDeath: For the most part, death simply sees David drop to his knees and turn into a gravestone for some weird reason, but should he be wearing the Costume when he dies, his deaths will match those of the orc enemies, meaning [[OffWithHisHead decapitation]] or [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe being cut in half]]. Death by a fire trap, no matter whether the costume is used or not, will see David burnt to a char.

Added Infinity +1 Sword and One Hit KO
Added DiffLines:
* InfinityPlusOneSword: The titular Light Crusader is acquired by defeating the armor boss at the end of the 4th floor, notable in that that's only two thirds of the way through the game and there's still two more floors to go through. However, while the Light Crusader is the most damaging weapon, several other weapons found later have potentially desirable properties.
Added DiffLines:
* LawfulStupid: Very much downplayed, but David's "need to help others" attitude means he's surprised when the ''old man in a pitch black robe in the middle of the 2nd floor dungeon'' betrays him upon finding the fourth orb needed to revive Ramiah.
Added DiffLines:
* OneHitKO: The "Turn Undead" spell is an expensive way of doing this to undead, as it requires an Air, Earth, and Water capsule to cast. Later on, the Holy Sword can be found, which occasionally casts Turn Undead on enemies after striking them.

Added But Now I Must Go
Added DiffLines:
* ButNowIMustGo: Once Ramiah has been defeated, David quietly slips away to leave Green Row, only stopping to give his farewells to Cullen and explaining he's not particularly good at goodbyes. The two express their desires for another grand adventure before David returns home.

Added Nintendo Hard and Tempting Fate tropes
Added DiffLines:
* NintendoHard: Due to the nature of the game, it can be pretty difficult to figure out the placement of yourself, enemies, and other objects in the 3D space. As a result, some puzzles are pretty difficult, and you can take enormous damage just trying to attack enemies if you don't rely on the jump attack.

* TemptingFate: David initially heads to Green Row thinking he's going there for a vacation. [[CallToAdventure Boy, was he wrong...]]

Added Disproportionate Retribution trope
Added DiffLines:
* DisproportionateRetribution: Once you rescue her on B6, the princess explains Bloodroke's motivation behind the abductions. Apparently when the queen chose between King Weeden and Roke, she chose Weeden and he became incensed at this. Hardly seems like enough of a slight to warrant ''sacrificing an entire country to an evil god for''.

* UncommonTime - A lot of the soundtrack has wildly swaying time signatures. The boss theme in particular starts by going from 2/4 to 3/4 and back, with a measure in 7/8 and 2 in 13/16 in there until it eventually settles onto 4/4 for the second half of the song.

Examples are not arguable, and it really doesn\'t play like a typical Western RPG anyway, so if it was intended as such they did a poor job at it. You\'re nbot supposed to complain about things like bland graphics on non-YMMV pages anyway
