* DifficultySpike: Around chapter 8 is where the game stops pulling its punches. Bosses suddenly become far more powerful and durable, so you better have learned their attack patterns by then, or you'll find yourself failing over and over.

** In the original game, you have the ability to change your name ''once''. Better make sure you like it after that change.
** ''ACE'', along with the rename (which is a rare item now), adds a whole host of new items like this.
*** The Mercenary book gives out rewards at certain completion rates. The catch is that the rewards are redeemable only once, ''ever'', so only one character can get them. You have to delete your entire save file if you want to reset it.
*** The Yggdrasil Flower gives you additional tries beyond the three you normally get. Sure, you can use it for a hard fight, but what if there's a harder fight waiting in the next mission?
*** The Weapon Skill Tickets allow you to change a weapon's skills. Better make sure the weapon you're using it on is one you plan on wielding for a long time.
*** The Outfit Expansion Ticket lets you increase an outfit's card capacity for free. Deciding which outfits to use it on might be some trouble.
*** The Halomonas Reset Ticket reverts a Halomonas weapon to its base form. Deciding whether to use it on the one you messed up, or just farm for another can be challenging.

''Ragnarok Odyssey'' is an ActionRPG for the PlayStationVita developed by GameArts and published by XSEEDGames for localization in North America and Europe in late 2012.

The gameplay is simliar to {{Capcom}}'s ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' series in that it revolves around teams of up to four slaying gigantic monsters and using the loot found to create new weapons and outfits, but the overall theme is set within the world of ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'' and placed in a more action-based drive than the MMORPG it is based on.

Taking place in a mercenary hold, the player joins the forces that must defend mankind from the threat of monsters taking over. As a fellow mercenary, you can either fight alone against the many enemies that you’d encounter through the Story Quests, or take them head on with three other players online. While there are only [[AnAdventurerIsYou six available classes]], the player will be allowed to freely switch between classes to determine a favorable fighting style for any situation. Weapons—both looted and crafted by the local Blacksmith—can be enhanced by the later to raise the damaging stats. And, true to RO-Style, Odyssey includes a [[FightLikeACardPlayer Card System]] that may allow the player to effectively tackle any task—though, most cards will often have downsides—by installing them into their outfit of choice. In addition, players can tap into [[DangeousForbiddenTechnique Dainslef Mode]] to get an edge in battle.

!! ''Ragnarok Odyssey'' provides examples of:

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: While outfits aren't given out as actual quest rewards, new ones can be bought/crafted using materials found on missions.
* ArmorIsUseless: Slightly averted, in which the outfits themselves don’t have stats. However, the player can extend the amount of card slots available in a outfit, enhancing their versatility in battle.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Several of the Norse Deities that you’ll fight in-game. A note-worthy example is the flagship boss, Hrungnir.
* {{BFS}} : Sword Warriors usually employ this.
* BeamSpam: The Guardian Enemies make annoying use of this, especially in groups.
* CharacterCustomization: All there, from skin and hair color to voices, and you can make later changes with the local stylist, [[CampGay Harald]].
* ChargedAttack: Each class has their own variation, but guaranteed to either {{Knockback}} enemies or cause [[ForMassiveDamage significant harm]].
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Beneficial and dismal effects of cards are colored blue and red respectively. Also noted for most [[PlayingWithFire Red]] and [[AnIcePerson Blue]] enemies, while [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack Purple]] enemies are laden with the most dangerous ailments, ranging from [[DamageIncreasingDebuff attack/defense debuffs]] to [[StandardStatusEffects paralysis and poison]].
** While [[PlantPerson Green]], Orange, and Brown enemies exist, they are relatively closer to nature and usually the employ for [[MultiMookMelee overcrowding battles]].
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Though subtle in the storyline, the fifth member of the Five Scales said to be seen where lightning can be found, and is not one to make angry. Cue [[FlatWhat shock]] upon learning it’s [[spoiler:the quest distributor and outfit fanatic, ''Pavianne''.]]
** Even more so, [[spoiler: she works behind the counter because, according to Eadgils, it’s what best suits her. She took up the job for the Kafra outfit, but still wants to head out into the battlefield!]]
**[[spoiler: She even lampshades this by telling you her talent: ''sensing gargantuan enemies''. She’s the first one who will alert everyone in HQ when the monster approaches.]]
*CuteBruiser: Bosses Fenia and Menia fit this trope to a T, cutely running after you with maces of pure destruction.
** And so does the fifth member of the Five Scales, [[spoiler:''outfit-fanatic Pavianne!'']]
* CutscenePowerToTheMax: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28T6lrwHEXs The intro]], HANDS DOWN.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Look at the box-art. Look at the intro. This will be your life in the game!
** Your fights against the [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever REALLY HUGE bosses]] start as this [[spoiler:and you’ll have the chance to fight against them without the aid of the ballista!]]
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: When [[HonorBeforeReason Mina]] goes solo against a group of Orcs, Mercenary HQ Leader [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Eadgils]] valiantly rescues her and they did not return the next morning!!—[[TakeOurWordForIt according to Eirik]]. Apparently, Eadgils [[DontAsk would rather not recount said tale...]]
* DropTheHammer: If you’re the [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer Hammersmith]], you’ll dropping it quite a bit.
** [[TheBlacksmith Brokkr]] will also drop the hammer while crafting new weapons...albeit with less-than-great results sometimes.
* FireIceLightning: Played straight with the [[FullContactMagic Mage Class]]. [[KillItWithFire Burning]] and [[KillItWithIce Freezing]] are available to you as equip-able ailments, in addition to Poison and Bind.
* FollowTheLeader: In VideoGame/MonsterHunter-esque style, online players create lobbies with specific details and the leader chooses the quest. The effectiveness of quest success is dependant on what the party is equipped with.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Several of the outfits that Rune can tailor for you fall under this.
* ItemCrafting: Blessedly averted with Green Potions (of all sizes), but everything else must be crafted from the loot you find throughout the quests of the game.
** Additionally, when you refine a weapon up to +10, you can dismantle it to obtain the weapon’s abilities and use them as cards.
* LightningBruiser: [[AnIcePerson Hati]] and [[PlayingWithFire Skoll]] definitely fits this, especially when they can put you on ice and burn your HP away, respectively. The Orc King and ''much faster'' Orc Hero also make their mark here.
* MeaningfulName: Later in the game, Rune can tailor outfits which she calls [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar%C3%B6k “Twilight of the Gods”]] set.
* MegaManning: In a way with the Cards—obtaining cards from enemies and bosses will usually have effects that reflect their fighting style.
* PurelyAestheticGender: Your character, who grows to be TheAce of the game.
* RandomlyDrops: Every enemy and breakble object in Odyssey will drop items neccessary to futher your crafting needs, but Cards are definitely the RareRandomDrop. In order to get good cards, you'll find yourself doing a lot of singular-monster grinds for that right card.
** Collecting ''ALL'' the cards in the game gets you a trophy. Have fun!
* SilentProtagonist: Subverted, as you can choose the voice of your protagonist. During battle, they’ll sometimes throw out a BattleCry here or there, and while at HQ, you character gives out a voice while doing certain gestures.
* SpoilerOpening: The opening features a BadassCrew going toe-to-toe against the looming Hrungnir, successfully fending it off from the Mercanary HQ until they get the cannon ready to blast it into glittering dust! [[spoiler:...but in the game, ''[[MadeOfIron it walks off]]''. Looks like the fight’s not over yet...]]
* {{Squick}}: An item that you can get from Giant Boss Grendel is called “Something Forgotten”. Although its flavor text describes [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly what it is]], there is a good reason it demands you don’t think too hard on ''how'' you got it.
* UndergroundMonkey: Though there are quite a few enemies, most of them are [[PaletteSwap Palette Swaped]] with status effects.
* XMeetsY: [[VideoGame/MonsterHunter It’s]] [[PhantasyStarUniverse like]] [[GodsEaterBurst these games]] went to a [[VideoGame/RagnarokOnline RO Convention]].
