Added DiffLines:
* {{BFG}}: The Accretians have their launchers which are as long as an accretian is tall. Adding a Siege Kit makes their already massive guns bigger, deals more damage, and increases their range at the cost of being immobile.
* {{BFS}}: The spear type weapons are noticeably longer and bigger than the character wielding them. This is especially true for the diminutive Bellato.

Added DiffLines:
* HumongousMecha: The Bellato's unique job class is the Riders, who can construct and ride giant robot armor called [=MAUs=] that can either be a Catapult (range) or a Goliath (melee). A [=MAU's=] color is indicative of how strong it is; Brown being the lowest and [[GoldColoredSuperiority Gold being the highest tier.]]
Added DiffLines:
* SummonMagic: The Corites have made a pact with a mystical race called Animii, which their Summoners can call upon during battle.

* EasingIntoTheAdventure - Tutorials and the first few quests are for this purpose.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors - Monsters have elements indicated below their name. This troper has 1 inventory space dedicated to all elemental bullets , just in case.
* EnemyDetectingRadar - Red for monsters, purple means other races.
* ExclusiveEnemyEquipment - You can only equip armour and weapons designed for your race. Justified for Accretians in that their "armors" are actually upgrades for their mechanical bodies; there's no way the biological Corites or Bellato can use them to any extent other than scrap metal. Corites and Bellato are also of different body types, so the armor would either be too small on a cora, or too big on a Bell. Launchers and Staves are also race exclusive (although Staves are shared by Bellato and Corites). This is due to Accretians losing the ability to use magic because of their robotic bodies, thus the staves are little more than trinkets to them, while their mechanically enhanced bodies are the only reason they can wield the massive personal rocket launchers that characterizes their race.
* FighterMageThief - Warrior, Ranger, Mage (Except Accretians), Specialist (Unique abilities to each faction)
* FireIceLightning - Mages, of course.
* FiveRaces
** Accretia is the Mundane, being the HumanCounterpart who doesn't use magic (actually, Accretians are human [[{{Cyborg}} cyborgs]], as their [[IronicEcho flesh is weak]] to a chronic disease that afflicts the entire Accretian race)
** Bellato is the Cute or the Stout, depending on the class. Mages/Rangers are the Cute since mages use Light Force while Rangers are well, rangers. Warriors/Specialists (Riders) are the Stout, obviously.
** Cora is the Fairy or the High Man, with vast knowledge on the Force that they have even formed pacts with the Animii, mystical races that have vast spiritual power.
** A fourth race that was eventually DummiedOut: The Elves. They are most likely of the Fairy type.
* HitPoints
* InventoryManagementPuzzle - Although, you can purchase 4 more additional "bags".
* ItemCrafting
* JigglePhysics - Restricted to female Corites. Bellateans are all flat-chested, and Accretians are robots.
* JobSystem
* LevelGrinding - Before you start killing members of the other factions, you need to kill monsters for a long while.
** And because the game encourages you to buy potions by the hundreds and has an ''auto-use'' option, this basically amounts to setting yourself on any high-level enemy that won't two-shot you, dragging it far enough away to not attract others, and getting a sandwich.
** Or if you're grinding defensive abilities, standard practice is using shield and go to an area with [[EverythingISTryingToKillYou aggressive monsters]] and [[RefugeInAudacity SIT FUCKING DOWN THERE]].
** This even goes into the game of things. If you want money, grab a turret, deploy it in an arena of aggros, lay a CD case down on your "Collect" button and go to bed. In the morning your inventory should be chocked full of VendorTrash. If you just want upgrading minerals, the game actually EXPECTS you to stand there for 4-6 hours.
** Your penalty for death is loosing anywhere between 2 and 10% of experience. Not so much in the early game where a simple Flan can give you three times that much, but heinously evil lategame, where getting 0.5% from the strongest monster is ''exceedingly high''. Needless to say, large amount of the game is devoted to level grinding.
* ManaMeter
* NinjaLooting - Doing this gets you killed. And ''not'' by the enemy.
* PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling - Several at every 5 level interval after level 35; these are usually pvp hotspots as they're out in the open and often require another player of much higher level to help you actually kill anything. After level 45, these areas usually move into neutral territory, resulting in small turf wars as each race tries to level it's own newbies.
* PlayerParty - Party limit is at 8
* PlayerVersusPlayer - The raison d’etre of the game, even though you have to wade through oceans of level grinding to reach it.
** Arguably this is what makes high rate servers of RF much more appealing than high rate servers of other games, as there's very little sidestory for completing quests and much more motivation to not-suck during the Chip Wars.
** Each Race can elect an "Archon" to lead them each week, who gains an aura that buffs stats of him and those around him. The runner ups are also promoted to his "council", receiving similar buffs. To even be eligible for Archon-ship requires you to be in the top 6 in terms of PVP points, which slowly drops as you stop killing others.
* PrestigeClass
* RealMoneyTrade - Like many other [=MMOs=], getting caught could mean getting banned, yet it still goes on...
* ReducedManaCost
* RespawningEnemies
* RunDontWalk
* SceneryPorn - Regardless of your [[LoveItOrHateIt opinion]] of the game's execution, it's very pretty to look at.
* ScenicTourLevel - If you're going to Ether, you have to get on a flight. You can move around but it takes five minutes before you can get off.
* UnwinnableByMistake - See CharacterLevel. If you neglected a stat long enough, your chance of successfully getting points for it drops morbidly low, and you require a ''[[LevelGrinding lot]]'' of points to skill it up once.
