* TheBlacksmith: The Metalsmith, one of the job classes in the game, is this trope in all but name, even though Reubens would rather insist otherwise. Appropriately enough, the weapon of choice for this job class is the [[DropTheHammer hammer]].

* ArtificialHuman: The final expeditions of the story reveal that [[spoiler:Efil is a magically-created idealized version of Worlphrmn, as an attempt to both free herself from the land's ruins and vicariously live a life of happiness and friendship that she never could]].



* BitchInSheepsClothing: After seemingly exploring all of the continent, getting awarded for it, and watching the credits, continuing the game extends the story and reveals [[spoiler:Prince Aelfric, the man responsible for funding the exploration of Antoecia, is an EvilOverlord whose soldiers are killing those very explorers and disposing of the bodies in lava in order to try and locate the last of the ancient race that once dwelled there, in order to harness the island's curse of immortality for his own purposes]].



* IdentityAmnesia: Efil claims to have no memories of her past prior to drifting ashore and being found at a shoreline at Antoecia one day.

* LastOfTheirKind: [[spoiler:Worlphrmn, the last of Antoecia's original inhabitants and the high priestess responsible for maintaining the curse of immortality upon the continent as part of a failed plan to save her people after a monumental disaster, now sealed within one of the land's ruins and only able to communicate via hologram. The final main quest of the game is finding a way to free her and let her enjoy life without accidentally destroying the continent in the process.]]

* GoneHorriblyRight: When Efil requests help from Roselta and the playable protagonist to deal with the problem of mice infestation at the Tavern after Roselta acquires the Sorcerer job class, Roselta obliges by casting a curse that is intended to addle the mice enough to make them easier to catch via traps... only to end up causing the curse to be a bit too strong, resulting in the mice [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere fleeing the Tavern en masse]], which, in turn, incites panic from the customers witnessing the scene and threatens to endanger the reputation of the Tavern, much to Efil's dismay.

** Due to Reubens requesting for Roselta to help relieve Gilda of her stress (with the playable protagonist being summoned to be present as intermediary) after Roselta has obtained the Sorcerer job class, Roselta performs a hex on Gilda to make her more uninhibited with the intention of lessening Gilda's stress. While the ritual does accomplish what's intended, it also makes Gilda more prone to emotional outbursts, causing her to lash out at Reubens and become a MoodSwinger for the duration of the hex's effect.
