* WeUsedToBeFriends: The mercenary captain Zoro was a FriendlyRival to the Hero during his quest, but began to despise him after Guille's defeat for "[[GloryHound taking all the glory]]", despite the fact that the Hero's beloved would have likely been killed if the Hero hadn't come to the final battle alone.

* MoneyForNothing: Thoroughly averted. You start out with your gold capped out, trivializing almost everything you could possibly want to buy. At the start. There’s a significant number of things that are worth buying, and some sidequests are very expensive to finish, to the point where you need to meet the cap a number of times over if you want to do everything.

* FantasticRacism: A major issue that the kingdom is still dealing with. [[spoiler: Yona even goes so far as to refer to non-humans as "scum" under her breath. She will also force you to kill the HalfHumanHybrid Demon Children if she's in your party.]]

Added DiffLines:

* JerkassRealization: As you inch closer to death, the citizens’ dialogue goes from complaining about what needs to still be done to your face, to realizing what you’ve done and how hard a fate it must be knowing that you’ve died and are only temporarily alive because a divine power allowed you to be.
