a trope can't be played with and played straight. Pick one and stick with it.


* FightLikeACardPlayer: Played with. Magnus are actual in-universe cards, which are even shown in cutscenes, as characters draw their weapons from them. However, actual gameplay mechanics have little to do with the in-universe concept. In the end, this trope is played straight, because cutscenes show that no one actually needs cards to swing their weapon.

* NoFourthWall: as mentioned, the player does not directly control the party members. Instead, the player takes the role of a "Guardian Spirit," a helpful fairy creature of sorts whom the characters consult with. During many scenes main protagonists actually turn towards the screen and address you directly.

* ThePlayerIsTheMostImportantResource: In both games, the player is the protagonist's "Guardian Spirit," a being from another dimension said to grant [[PlotArmor incredible power]]. Both games milk this for all it is worth, using it for some very powerful plot twists. The strength of Guardian Spirit's connection to Kalas or Sagi, [[RelationshipValues as determined by how the player answers questions during cutscenes]], also affects your luck in battles.
