* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Calintz gives one to Reith after saving her from Yason escapees.

* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:The DistantEpilogue sees a few characters paying their respects to lost loved ones, such as Haren visiting [[TheLostLenore Felicia]]'s grave and Rianna casting a bouquet out for Astal.]]

** TheHero: Calintz.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Reith. [[spoiler:At least until her memory returns, though it still remains with her familiar.]]

* {{Revenge}}: The driving force behind Calintz and much of his fellow Tears of Blood: revenge against the Yason for everything they've taken and everyone they killed. It even goes as far as...

* TakenForGranite: What happens to the Yason who contract Rheuma. [[spoiler:This is because the Tree of Light feeds on the Yason people's Chi through their Vindies (tattoo-like marks). Serina's the last known Yason to suffer this, but she gets better almost immediately]].

* WhamLine: Delivered in the form of a secure military communication to Calintz that [[spoiler:the Yason are attacking the Alliance Headquarters]].

* AntiClimax: Caltinz and [[spoiler:Astal]] the man he'd been seeking for revenge up to that point in the game are in the middle of an epic sword fight, but it suddenly ends when [[spoiler:Rianna stabs her own husband in the back]].

* AntiClimax: Caltinz and the man he'd been seeking for revenge up to that point in the game are in the middle of an epic sword fight, but it suddenly ends when [[spoiler:his opponent's wife, Rianna, stabs him (we mean Astal, not Calintz) in the back]].

* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:The DistantEpilogue sees a few characters paying their respects to lost loved ones, such as Haren visiting Felicia's grave and Rianna casting a bouquet out for Astal.]]

* {{Gainaxing}}: Seen every so often in ''Tears of Blood'', usually with Reith or [[BoobsOfSteel Rianna]].

* KingIncognito: [[spoiler:Reith. Or rather, the ''real'' Queen Amila of the Yason. The present "Queen Amila" we've been seeing after the beginning was her sister Serina, posing as Amila while she was missing. Amila's goal was to learn more about Efferia and its inhabitants in order to end the war and save her people.]]

* LukeIAmYourFather: It turns out that Calintz is really [[spoiler:the long-lost son of Great Priestess Ladrinne, but the BigBad knew it and used a family heirloom given to him to steal his identity. Ladrinne herself is horrified by this deception]].

* RedOniBlueOni: A strange example regarding Reith, [[spoiler:or Queen Amila, and her sister Serina, the latter of whom joins the party in the final stages of the game. Naturally, Serina is the Blue Oni to Amila/Reith's Red Oni; one is more withdrawn, and the other is more assertive. Amila's Reith persona is more outgoing and bubbly, while the Yason Queen herself is more commanding.]]
