* DropTheHammer: Jack The Hammer (Levels 29 and 30)

* PlayerVersusPlayer: The key is not what you do during the fight, but ''before'' the fight. For example, a Psykeeper taking on a Billposter is cake (Satanology spam), a Ranger taking on a Billposter is easy ([[StandardStatusEffects Silent Arrow]]), but any other class taking on a Billposter is suicidal (1 hit, you're down).

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Many of the players believe Gala to be incompetent when it comes to running the game, except for a few individuals within the company that actually know what they're doing. Sadly, those individuals are not in charge.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Quite a lot of female armors feature this to varying grades, particularly the [[http://flyff-wiki.gpotato.com/wiki/Mercenary_Armor mercenary]] and [[http://flyff-wiki.gpotato.com/wiki/Assist_Armor assist]] classes.

* ShoutOut: Outfits for your character include PowerRangers outfits (blue/red/yellow/green/pink), [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred & Wilma]], [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]], [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG-era Starfleet uniforms]], and not-quite Franchise/{{Superman}} / Franchise/WonderWoman costumes. Also, one of the hair styles is [[Anime/DragonBallZ Cactus Hair (M) Gold]]. Unfortunately, hairstyles don't increase your stats. And then there's the Riding Cloud.

''[[http://en.flyff.webzen.com/ Flyff]]'' ('''F'''ly '''f'''or '''f'''un), a {{MMORPG}} created by Aeonsoft, is one very unusual game -- you have the ability to get on a board/broom and fly across the map! This new and unusual game mechanic allows you to travel large distances without having to worry about being hit by monsters. It is also well known for its ranking of monsters (small/normal/captain/giant) and quest item selling ([[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts which are at exorbitant prices]]).

* CompetitiveBalance: Notorious for a lack thereof. [[BrokenBase It appears this is going to]] [[LoveItOrHateIt change over the next few versions]].

* MasterOfNone: Billposters are completely average in every way, in terms of skills and how much effect they get from each stat, [[AvertedTrope but then you notice]] [[ForMassiveDamage a certain little]] [[OneHitKill unpronouncable]] [[MegatonPunch skill...]]

* PlayerVersusPlayer: The key is not what you do during the fight, but ''before'' the fight. For example, a Psykeeper taking on a Billposter is cake (Satanology spam), a Ranger taking on a Billposter is easy ([[StandardStatusEffects Silent Arrow]]), but any other class taking on a Billposter is suicidal ([[ForMassiveDamage 1 hit, you're down]]).

* ForMassiveDamage: The Billposter's Asalraalaikum, and heaven forbid it's a STR BP with MP-awakened gear. The skill drains the entire mana gauge. The more mana it drains, the more damage it deals. It's capable of dealing over one hundred thousand damage in a single hit, in a game where only a pure stamina tank with awe-inspiring equips has a snowball's chance in hell of getting HP that high. A fun tactic in guild wars that's often discussed, no idea if it's been used before, is to have an int billposter masquerade as a ringmaster and act as the party healer/buffer. First rule of guild wars: ShootTheMedicFirst. Thus, when someone comes to kill the healer, BAM! Taken down on the word go.
** If someone *else* comes after them, figuring their nuke is gone due to cooldown, the billposter int-based [=AoE=] is nothing to sneeze at, either. While it's not as lethal as the ringmaster [=AoE=], three or four hits and they're done for. There's no cooldown on it, either.
** And now the rule of thumb is that Asalraalaikum is guaranteed to take out an opponent in one hit if the BP's MP is approximately equal to the opponent's HP. With full INT and MP gears, [[GameBreaker Asal]] can now OneHitKill a [[StoneWall full-STA Knight]]!

* AllegedlyFreeGame: Possibly parodied, actually. As BribingYourWayToVictory (below) says, players spend gpots to buy stuff, then sell in-game, and you can also "buy" gpots from other players[[note]]Or rather, pay them to buy a specific cash shop item of your choice for you[[/note]]. You can make money from some of the events run by the [[GameMaster GM]]s, and there's a new event ''every week''. It is entirely possible to get any CS item you want by farming boxes. As to how this is a parody... well, your equipment kinda sucks if you can't upgrade it that much, and you need CS stuff to keep it from breaking when you upgrade it past +3 or when you pierce it (and to remove a bad awakening). Let's just say there's a reason the player base frequently describes the game as "free to play, pay to win."

* BribingYourWayToVictory: Some special items are available in the premium shop, where you pay with "gpots", purchased with real money. You can resell these items, using ingame currency, to make an enormous profit.

* ContinuingIsPainful: Death causes your player to lose a portion of experience, which can delevel, and thus weaken, the player. At later levels, a mere 4% can take hours to recover with out BribingYourWayToVictory.
