The game itself is a hilarious deconstruction of the entire JRPG genre, poking fun of dozens of tropes and rules normally applied to console {{RPG}}s. Playthroughs vary in length, but first one's usually about 5-6 hours, though you're required to [[NewGamePlus play through it again with Itzka's stats and skills intact]] in order to get the [[GoldenEnding real ending]]. It can be found [[http://www.indiedb.com/games/tales-of-itzkeria here]] (Game has been taken off the site at the link, could not find alternate download.)

Misuse of Developers Foresight. It's not mere variety in dialogue; it's programming in case a player does something unlikely. Commented out Zero Context Examples. Examples Are Not Recent. Per Example Indentation In Trope Lists, we do not list examples in a Super Trope/Sub Trope relationship; each trope gets its own first-level bullet. The standard is to use a colon after a trope name when listing it.

* FiveManBand:
** TheHero -- Itzka
** TheLancer -- Datzo
** TheSmartGuy -- Kosyo
** TheBigGuy -- Mitko
** TheChick -- Laura
** TheSixthRanger -- Milen
* GetOnTheBoat - Captain Jack lends the party his trusty ship so they can go to East Pole
* GenreSavvy - Almost everyone from the main cast
* MegaCorp - Blue Sun can be considered this
* NewGamePlus - The player's required to start again and find a woman named Cassandra in every single location without fail in order to get the true ending.
* ParentalAbandonment - Played with. First off - none of the main cast's parents are mentioned. Only exceptions are Laura (she [[spoiler:considers Darius her father and finds her real mother in the true ending]] and Itzka, who's hilariously abandoned during [[spoiler:his crowning]]
* RunningGag - several, but probably the most prominent one is using "One or two months" as an actual, exact time period
* SamusIsAGirl - Darius' assassin ultimately being revealed as [[spoiler:Laura]]
* ScratchDamage - All the damage you'll get on your path back to [[spoiler:Varna after getting the Master Sword]], since the enemies there are WAY below your current level
* SeeYouInHell - Not quite, but before his death [[spoiler:Dracula]] prophesies that Itzka himself will [[spoiler:die in a similar way]]. Whether that prophecy comes true or not is yet to be seen.
* ShipTease - Datzo x Laura
* ShoutOut - WAY too many to even begin counting. Practically every screen of the game has several, but probably the most notable ones are the recreated areas from ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' and ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia''.
* StartMyOwn - How Blue Sun was conceived - thousands of years ago, Darius felt he could no longer serve the Empire, so he broke free and ultimately created an organization almost as powerful as the Empire itself.
* SuspiciousVideogameGenerosity - Use save points. A lot. At literally every single opportunity. You never know when a boss is going to come out of nowhere and kick your ass.
* SwordOfPlotAdvancement - The Master Sword
* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything - You can talk with most people more than once and they'll give different responses each time until they run out of lines.
* TitleDrop - The project to create Laura is called "Project Itzkeria"
* UpdatedRerelease - The author has hinted at one on the game's official Facebook page
** Made official with the new version released recently that adds a sideview battle system as opposed to the old first person one, the ability to change the battle theme at any time in case you grow tired of it, and TONS of bug fixes
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair - Cassandra and the doctor in the Capital

->''I don't wanna go outside. There's monsters and stuff. I'm perfectly fine here!''

''Tales of Itzkeria'' is a freeware humorous RPG, and one of the very few good and finished games created on the RPG Maker engine.

Itzka is a hardcore gamer (how anyone can play videogames in a fantasy kingdom is anyone's guess, but oh well) who embodies the "loner" stereotype to the letter - he literally hasn't left his house in years. One day, his friend decides it's finally time to go outside. Unwillingly, Itzka's exposed to a beautiful fantasy land filled with adventures. After a terrible incident however, Itzka's forced to abandon his home forever and travel the world in search of the mightiest power imaginable - the Master Sword (yes, [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda THE Master Sword]]). Because, you know, he's the Chosen One. On his journey, he meets and befriends other people such as:

'''Datzo''', a [[spoiler:former]] Imperial Knight, and the one who initially takes Itzka out of his house. A street-smart kid that loves women, alcohol and cash more than anything. Wherever he goes and whatever he does, he does it for his own personal gain first. However, he does care about the people around him as well, as he seems to be legitimately interested in helping Itzka out, and he's also the only one who's actually interested in saving another human being during [[spoiler:the attack on Varna]].

'''Kosyo''', a [[BlackMage Black Mage]], and overall the [[StraightMan Straight Man]] of the group. He's the most knowledgeable one of the group by far. When he does research, he does it flawlessly, being able to pinpoint the exact locations of ancient artifacts in a matter of months. Despite never doing anything remotely evil throughout the entire game, he has this evil aura around him at all times. Probably because he's an artist.

'''Milen''', a paladin who, like all self-respecting paladins, has an affinity for [[TheStoner the green stuff]]. He also has a severe case of squirrelophobia. But despite all that, he's actually a really cool guy and really supports the party [[spoiler:before an attack by Darius' general leaves him unable to fight]]

'''Mitko''', a mercenary, and the only character who can use [[DualWielding two weapons at once]]. A big guy who doesn't speak much [[spoiler:unless required for plot exposition]]. Hired by the Commandante to help the group out after [[spoiler:Milen is badly hurt]]. In reality, [[spoiler:he's Darius' right-hand man sent to observe the group and eventually dispose of the group once they fulfill their purpose]].

'''Laura''', Itzka's [[OppositeSexClone female clone]] created in order to replace him as the Chosen One and acquire the Master Sword for Darius. When she fails, Darius orders her execution. She's playable during the final part of the game. Trained since birth to be an assassin... for some reason, she's not very aware of many things, even her own human emotions and personality.

The game itself is a hilarious deconstruction of the entire JRPG genre, poking fun of dozens of tropes and rules normally applied to console {{RPG}}s. Playthroughs vary in length, but first one's usually about 5-6 hours, though you're required to [[NewGamePlus play through it again with Itzka's stats and skills intact]] in order to get the [[GoldenEnding real ending]].
