* BearsAreBadNews: Ludomir, big time.
* {{BFS}}: Kladen.
* TheBigGuy: Ludomir.

* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: Everybody’s an animal in some form or another. The Harbinger stands out as looking mostly humanoid and enemies will lampshade this. That said, her helmet and tail do seem to evoke jackal imagery.

* SharedUniverse: One of the loading screen tips states that this game takes place in the same setting as Stories: The Path of Destinies. A portrait of Reynardo can be found in a locked house in Ekka. Also, in Stories, a statue of the Harbinger can be found in the Iblis Stone desert temple, at the end of the side path that takes the player back outside.

* SharedUniverse: One of the loading screen tips states that this game takes place in the same setting as Stories: The Path of Destinies. A portrait of Renard can be found in a locked house in Ekka.

* RealityEnsues: By default, Ludomir is very drunk, and goes off to kill the emperor. Without assistance, he ''will'' die without accomplishing anything.

** In the GoldenEnding, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it piece of dialogue between her and [[spoiler: Ludomir]] implies that the two of them had fought side-by-side in the past. Whether this is related to either/both of the aforementioned pieces of information, or a NoodleIncident of its own, is similarly unaddressed.

* BrokenBird: Pretty much every major character but especially Indrik: [[spoiler: he was pretty much kidnapped from his family at a young age without the hope to see them again, mentally abused by a strict man that punished any kind of sentimental demonstration and was taught to be merciless in his formation to be the next emperor.]]

** The normal end of the game isn't much better. [[spoiler: Voden is defeated and sealed away again, but Indrik and Draga still die, Ratika still becomes Deathless, and Ludomir continues his spiral into alcoholism and is eventually murdered.]]

** Ludomir first appears in a bar, drunk out of his mind and in a blind fury over Vera's death. [[spoiler: It takes discovering that Vera summoned Voden for him to accept that his revenge was just a means for him to avoid thinking about his guilty for not protecting his sister.]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: Indrik refuses to help the Harbinger open doors, and instead just blasts them open without waiting for her to get out of the way first. He also doesn't have any tag-team ability, and if the player uses the bind for the tag-team ability anyway, he admonishes Harbinger for expecting him to act on her command. He also has a bad habit of [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace shooting you along with everyone.]] [[spoiler:However, if you start the day with him and show him the 3rd Omensight, he [[HeelRealization realizes his screwups]] and completely drops this attitude. You still can't tag-team him, but he'll sheepishly apologize to you instead of smugly says you can't command the emperor.]]

* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: Ciphers, amber, the Deathless and especially Voden are purple which is this game’s evil color.

* SharedUniverse: One of the loading screen tips states that this game takes place in the same setting as Stories: The Path of Destinies.

* TopHeavyGuy: Ludomir

* DevelopersForesight: Indrik is the only companion who has no special move, nor will he finish off any enemies you throw at him like the other three do, and he has specific, voiced dialog telling you as much if you attempt to press the button, or throw enemies at him to no avail.

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Starting the day with Indrik and use 3rd Omensight on him will cause him to realize that he might have pushed Vera and others past breaking point to try to summon Voden. Right after he's desperately pleading everyone to stop fighting. Even his ItsAllAboutMe attitude are completely dropped.]]

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Some enemies will drop their weapon and surrender when they feel they are going to lose the battle, invoking reasons such as "I have a wife and children" or "I just don't wanna die". You can absolutely still kill them on the spot and there's even an achievement for it. Worse, they can surrender while you're in mid-swing and there's nothing you can do about it.
** Certain paths lead to the Harbinger and her current Ally character facing off against another Ally character for a boss battle. Most times, the option is given to show the other character the current Omensight, and avert the battle entirely. This trope applies to those paths where killing them would in no way advance the plot and would be detrimental to what you're attempting to accomplish.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Draga's memories imply she was trained by ''someone'' from Rodentia, but it's never made clear who. [[spoiler: It's also later revealed she freed a prisoner she was in love with, though who that was, and whether or not it was the same person as the trainer, is left up in the air.]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: Indrik refuses to help the Harbinger open doors, and instead just blasts them open without waiting for her to get out of the way first. He also doesn't have any tag-team ability, and if the player uses the bind for the tag-team ability anyway, he admonishes Harbinger for expecting him to act on her command.
** He also has a bad habit of [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace shooting you along with everyone.]]

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Starting the day with Indrik and use 3rd Omensight on him will cause him to realize that he might have pushed Vera and others past breaking point to try to summon Voden. Right after he's desperately pleading everyone to stop fighting. Even his ItsAllAboutMe attitude is mostly dropped like when he opens doors for you.]]

* PlayingBothSides: [[spoiler: There are forces within both Pygaria and Rodentia who want to see Voden destroy the world, having manipulated everyone from behind the scenes.]]

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:Starting the day with Indrik and use 3rd Omensight on him will cause him to realize that he might have pushed Vera and others past breaking point to try to summon Voden and right after he's desperately trying to tell everyone to stop fighting.]]
