* The Elf: An {{Archer|Archetype}} with an assortment of special skills to help her [[JackOfAllTrades adapt to any situation]], but low offense and defense.

*** Another ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' lies in a quest where you must use the Genie's Lamp, an item available during the Pirate gang boss-fight, 3 times. When you turn in the quest the artwork reveals that the genie wished for freedom. Even without the quest, his wish was implied by the Narrator mention he granted a wish (his own) and flew off.

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:The Demon King]] in the Labyrinth of Chaos.

* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:The Ancient Dragon and the Demon King. The former serves as the final boss of the main storyline and the latter serves as the BonusBoss in the Labyrinth of Chaos.]]

** The fight against [[spoiler:the Ancient Dragon]] borrows elements from the fight against [[spoiler:[[BonusBoss the original red dragon]]]] in ''[[VideoGame/DungeonsAndDragons Dungeons & Dragon: Tower of Doom]]''. It also borrows elements from the Mana Beast fight in ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana''.

While Vanillaware's first game for an HD console, ''Crown'' is actually a {{spiritual successor}} to the 1994 arcade BeatEmUp DungeonCrawler, ''[[VideoGame/DungeonsAndDragonsChroniclesOfMystara Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom]]''.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Though sharing no continuity, the game is meant to build off the ideas in ''[[VideoGame/DungeonsAndDragons Dungeons & Dragon: Tower of Doom]]'', a game ''Dragon's Crown'' lead designer George Kamitani worked on in his youth.

** This might just be a coincidence, but The postgame includes a BonusLevelOfHell with overpowered enemies well above the level cap for other [=RPG=]s and is abbreviated [=LoC=]. Now are we talking about the Labyrinth of Chaos or the [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Land of Carnage?]]

*** Rickey, the Magician's Apprentice, a dancing mouse wearing a blue wizards hat is a reference to MickeyMouse as the Sorcerer's Apprentice in ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}''.

* {{Fanservice}}: Aside from the player characters, there are plenty of art to be earned that utilizes this trope, usually invoking BuxomIsBetter.[[note]]Only a couple of pieces have women who rival the Sorceress in size though.[[/note]]

* MsFanservice: The [[AmazonianBeauty Amazon]] and [[BuxomIsBetter Sorceress]]. Artists started [[RuleThirtyFour fawning over]] them as soon ''their character art'' got revealed, years before the game was even released.

* ShesGotLegs: The Amazon and the Sorceress have outfits that show off their bare legs.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Both the Sorceress ([[MsFanservice obviously]]) and the Amazon, as well every other buxom female in the game.

* HornyDevils: Harpies tend to use charm magic to lure unsuspecting men into their nests to eat (and possibly mate with) them. Vampires count as well. In a subquest, actual incubi and succubi attempt to seduce a devout man into sin via his dreams.
