* KangarooCourt: Subverted. [[spoiler:The evidence against Adol in regards to the King's death is actually pretty damning. He is proven to have been the only person in the King's presence at the time of his murder, its proven that he has ties with Altago's political rival nation, his constant insistence that he was "just an adventurer" was already suspicious in the eyes of many, the whole reason he even came to Altago was due to his ties with an infamous crimelord, he vanishes from the kingdom at exactly the same time as Aisha's "abduction", and the "stolen" Royal Seal was found in his possession.]]

* GirlOfTheWeek: Tia.

* HeroicMime: Aside from battles, Adol has no written dialogue, but his interactions are relayed to the player ("Adol explained X" and so on).

* SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity: Every time you see a Crystal in front of a path you know a boss is coming up.
