This is particularly jarring for opponents you fought early on like Razzy and Chavez.

!! ''Craft Sword Story Hajimari no Ishi'' provides these examples:
* BadassTeacher: V.E from ''Craft Sword Story Hajimari no Ishi'' so much. Especially when she saves the main character with an absolutely badass flying kick in one of the villains.
* ButtMonkey : Velveron in the third game is a weak, useless Summoner that gets often abused by the main cast. [[spoiler: Creaving for power, he lets himself be absorbed by the Evil Sword, and becomes the FinalBoss !]]
* CastFromHitPoints: In the third game, the Summon Beasts' special attacks require hit points to cast.
* CoolBigSis: V.E is the sister (treated as such anyways, technically the former master's summon beast) AND master of the main characters of ''Craft Sword Story Hajimari no Ishi'', the third game.
* FragileSpeedster: Enki, the fully animal Guardian Beast in the third game. Fast, spammy, but his HP and Defense leaves something to be desired. The player character can be one of these in all three games by focusing on Knuckles.
* INeverSaidItWasPoison: This is how Tram found out about Anise's true self.
* LightningBruiser: Third game, robot buddy Run-Dor[[spoiler:'s true form. Loses the jump prohibition, gains a good chunk of movement speed, his special becomes a powerful projectile, he maintains his excessive amounts of HP and Defense, and he hits even harder than before. Ouch.]]
* MasterOfNone: The Guardian Beast Rufeel, the green one wearing a summer hat, in the third game is an all-around GB who can use all kinds of spell but she isn't the strongest with any of them.
* MightyGlacier: Run-Dor, the orange robot Guardian Beast in the third game. Can't jump, very slow, hits like a truck. The player character can also be one of these in any of the games if they focus on Axes.
* NintendoHard: Breaking opponents weapons in the third game, even with the right skills, is not very easy. And if you did it, they '''might''' have a ''second''. Have fun.
* NobleDemon: Killfith in the last game.
* NoExportForYou: The third game did not get a North American port due to the Japanese original being released, in typical Flight-Plan fashion, late in the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance's life (2005). Then there's the fact that game systems in Japan tend to have a longer lifespan. Creator/{{Atlus}} deciding not to port it due to worries about low sales was indeed [[JustifiedTrope well justified]].

* SquishyWizard: Killfith, the purple-haired demon Guardian Beast in the third game. None too powerful fighting himself, but his Magic rating is leagues ahead of the other three. Late-game, he can one-spell encounters, and on top of all this, he gets the most and the strongest heals, including a revive.
* TagTeam: The third game finally lets your Guardian Beast tag in for you with one of its spells, and will do so automatically if you die with that spell in your active spells list.
* {{Tsundere}}: The guardian beast Killfith

Added DiffLines:
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: After you beat the first game, you're able to fight all the major tournament opponents again in post-game exhibition matches. However, none of them are any stronger than they were when you first fought them, meaning that with your endgame stats, you can floor most of them with as few as one or two hits. This is particularly jarring for opponents you fought early on like Razzy and Chavez. In Razzy's case, she actually accompanies you later on in a dungeon filled with creatures that are ''way'' higher in level than her level in the tournament (and she apparently handles herself just fine). In Chavez's case, he is actually fought again after his tournament match and has about three times his original health--but goes back down to his original strength when you fight him a third time in the post-game. May also be an example of {{Gameplay And Story Segregation}}.

* ScriptBreaking: Talking to your Guardian Beast in the second game the evening after first visiting the beach region, where a stray summon blocked you from going further unless you ask "like a sexy woman would ask her man" (don't ask, that stray is just a pervert). You can try it yourself or have your guardian beast do it. Yet the conversation at the end of the day will insist that the player tried, no matter what actually happened.

!! ''Craft Sword Story Hajimari no Ishi'' provides these examples:
* BadassTeacher: V.E from ''Craft Sword Story Hajimari no Ishi'' so much. Especially when she saves the main character with an absolutely badass flying kick in one of the villains.
* ButtMonkey : Velveron in the third game is a weak, useless Summoner that gets often abused by the main cast. [[spoiler: Creaving for power, he lets himself be absorbed by the Evil Sword, and becomes the FinalBoss !]]
* CastFromHitPoints: In the third game, the Summon Beasts' special attacks require hit points to cast.
* CoolBigSis: V.E is the sister (treated as such anyways, technically the former master's summon beast) AND master of the main characters of ''Craft Sword Story Hajimari no Ishi'', the third game.
* FragileSpeedster: Enki, the fully animal Guardian Beast in the third game. Fast, spammy, but his HP and Defense leaves something to be desired. The player character can be one of these in all three games by focusing on Knuckles.
* INeverSaidItWasPoison: This is how Tram found out about Anise's true self.
* LightningBruiser: Third game, robot buddy Run-Dor[[spoiler:'s true form. Loses the jump prohibition, gains a good chunk of movement speed, his special becomes a powerful projectile, he maintains his excessive amounts of HP and Defense, and he hits even harder than before. Ouch.]]
* MasterOfNone: The Guardian Beast Rufeel, the green one wearing a summer hat, in the third game is an all-around GB who can use all kinds of spell but she isn't the strongest with any of them.
* MightyGlacier: Run-Dor, the orange robot Guardian Beast in the third game. Can't jump, very slow, hits like a truck. The player character can also be one of these in any of the games if they focus on Axes.
* NintendoHard: Breaking opponents weapons in the third game, even with the right skills, is not very easy. And if you did it, they '''might''' have a ''second''. Have fun.
* NobleDemon: Killfith in the last game.
* NoExportForYou: The third game did not get a North American port due to the Japanese original being released, in typical Flight-Plan fashion, late in the GameBoyAdvance's life (2005). Then there's the fact that game systems in Japan tend to have a longer lifespan. {{Atlus}} deciding not to port it due to worries about low sales was indeed [[JustifiedTrope well justified]].
* SquishyWizard: Killfith, the purple-haired demon Guardian Beast in the third game. None too powerful fighting himself, but his Magic rating is leagues ahead of the other three. Late-game, he can one-spell encounters, and on top of all this, he gets the most and the strongest heals, including a revive.
* TagTeam: The third game finally lets your Guardian Beast tag in for you with one of its spells, and will do so automatically if you die with that spell in your active spells list.
* {{Tsundere}}: The guardian beast Killfith
* UnholyHolySword: In the third game. [[spoiler:It's the final boss mind you.]]

Summon Night: Swordcraft Story is an Action RPG developed by Creator/FlightPlan for the Game Boy Advance as a spin-off to the VideoGame/SummonNight series. The Japanese version was released in 2003, with the North American release following quite a while later, in 2006.
The story takes place mainly in Wystern, the "City of Swords" where many people study and work as blacksmiths and crafting guilds are common, led by the Craftlords. The player takes role as either Cleru or Pratty, the only child of the infamous "Craftlord of Iron", [[DisappearedDad Shintetsu]] and an apprentice craftknight.
Three years ago, Shintetsu sacrificed himself to protect the city from a certain incident. In order to find a replacement for the empty seat, the remaining Craftlords arranged a tournament for craftknights. Cleru/Pratty joins the tournament, in hope to become like his/her father, and to [[ToBeAMaster become a Craftlord]].

FridgeLogic makes it even funnier in that the lesson in creating a ladle was one of patience being its own reward. The Main Character is so convinced it has to be more than that that they can make a super-weapon out of it.
* MayDecemberRomance: Depending on just how old you think Pratty and Sakuro are, and if you interpret their plot as romantic. Possibly including Main Character x Any Summon, verging into MayflyDecemberRomance.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: The Main Character x His/Her Guardian Beast, if you consider that the summons are angels/demons/ect and likely to live much longer than a human.

* ScriptBreaking: At the early part of the game, an event starts after the creation of your first weapon... unless it isn't a "Novice Knife". Take note that you don't get any more recipes at this point, but completing the side quests will get you two, dependent on your Guardian Beast, and the materials to make them. To progress you need to grab more materials and make a Novice Knife and watch everyone claim it is your first weapon.
* SeriousBusiness:
** Crafting weapons seems to be one for the craftknights, so far as borrowing other people's weapons are taboo for them.
** Promises are also one, with the repeated ArcWords "The promise of a craftknight is stronger than steel." This point is also taken deeper in the sequel.
* StayInTheKitchen: Inverted. Pratty tends to fare ''much'' better than Cleru in regards to interacting with the other characters, especially Sanary and Razzy.

Summon Night: Swordcraft Story is an Action RPG developed by [Creator/FlightPlan Flight-Plan] for the Game Boy Advance as a spin-off to the [VideoGame/SummonNight Summon Night]] series. The Japanese version was released in 2003, with the North American release following quite a while later, in 2006.
The story takes place mainly in Wystern, the "City of Swords" where many people study and work as blacksmiths and crafting guilds are common, led by the Craftlords. The player takes role as either Cleru or Pratty, the only child of the infamous "Craftlord of Iron", [[DisappearedDad Shintetsu]] and an apprentice craftknight.
Three years ago, Shintetsu sacrificed himself to protect the city from a certain incident. In order to find a replacement for the empty seat, the remaining Craftlords arranged a tournament for craftknights. Cleru/Pratty joins the tournament, in hope to become like his/her father, and to [[ToBeAMaster become a Craftlord]].
