7!!This game provides examples of:
8* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: If you find a random vendor in the middle of a map, be sure that he's going to charge a higher price.
9* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: The explanation the BigBad gives for his eventual revival
10* BlueOniRedOni: Lydia and Candace. But when they agree, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments funny things happen]].
11* BookEnds: [[spoiler:After losing his memories]], Lucio returns to Carnia, to the point where his adventure started.
12* BlindIdiotTranslation: Subverted. It's clear that the translators put most of their efforts towards the first half of the game compared to the latter, as later on you'll begin to notice blatant spelling mistakes and such, including "Laciel" suddenly being referred to as "Lasiel".
13* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The King of De Lauren, who is also [[spoiler: Candace's father]].
14* BreakingSpeech: During the flashbacks, Juder is fond of these.
15* BribingYourWayToVictory: You have the option to use online shopping.
16* CannotSpitItOut: Lucio simply can't confess his obvious crush on Ameli.
17* DarkIsNotEvil: Subverted. The Dark Elves are indeed evil, but are far from the worst enemy in the game. Lucio manages to befriend them by sympathizing with them and defeating their dragon oppressor Eijenhar, and thus they aid him later on.
18* {{Determinator}}: Lucio. He looks like to have jumped out of a {{shonen}} anime.
19* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Actually, the God of Darkness.]]
20* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Ameli being referred to as Laciel's sword sheath.
21* DoomedHometown: After a raid orchestrated by the Order of Darkness, Carnia is destroyed. [[spoiler: But the town gets better.]]
22* DualWielding: The standard option for Candace, Judeka, and the Rogue mercenary.
23* EldritchAbomination: The God of Darkness. He can be even uglier than Cthulhu. Some darkness troops are also this, and it is implied that [[FridgeHorror they were once human]].
24* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: Right before the final battle, we discover that there are two Laciel's swords/bows/staffs, and the second is Ameli.]]
25* EliteMooks: Everytime you see one of a [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority different color]], this is going to be tougher. There is even a series of Quests where you must hunt down these mooks for tangible rewards.
26* {{Expy}}: Candace is a red-haired [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Yuffie]], [[spoiler:complete with RebelliousPrincess status, though more obvious]]. Lydia seems to be too familiar with [[ReiAyanamiExpy Rei Ayanami]].
27* FishPeople: The Carp Hermit, arguably the most annoying character in the entire franchise, seems to appear once a game and asking the player to run a bunch of [[TwentyBearAsses simple yet irritatingly long errands]] before he is finally willing to help. He's literally a person with a goldfish for a head and a three second memory. He nearly drove both Candace and [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness the usually meek Lydia insane.]]
28* FriendToAllLivingThings: Ameli sees goodness even in orcs. And this act of kindness changes their history.
29* HeroicSacrifice: Kundin, Charmer Shuiga, and [[spoiler: Lydia]].
30* HiddenElfVillage: Selendrya.
31* HumansAreBastards: That's what Judeka thinks initially. [[spoiler:But he is so impressed with the incredible amount of concern that Lucio has for Lydia and how far he goes to save her, that he decides to change his mind.]]
32* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Juan is a [[{{Jerkass}} colossal dick]] with [[SmallNameBigEgo a huge ego]], but [[AFatherToHisMen he inspires loyalty to his men]] and [[UndyingLoyalty is absolutely loyal to Candace]].
33* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: After using a weird type of magic to cure Ameli from a petrification spell, Lydia falls into a coma and then Lucio goes on a sidequest to recover an artifact to cure her that allows this journey. [[spoiler:It turns out Lucio is journeying into the memories of Laciel.]]
34%%* LovableRogue: Candace.
35%%* MacGuffin: The Laciel artifacts.
36* MacGuffinDeliveryService: The plan of the Order of Darkness is to let Lucio and his party to find Laciel's artifacts and steal them. It has to have some DeusExMachina to avoid have them killed.
37* MadScientist: Crazy Heig. Whatever he is doing with the [[NoodleImplements things]] Lucio delivers to him nobody knows for sure.
38%%* MysteriousWaif: Lydia and Elina.
39%%* MoreDakka: It exists with arrows.
40* NiceJobBreakingItHero: You defeated the God of Darkness? Congratulations! [[spoiler:However, there is now an excess of light in the world, creating mutant animals and driving the Spirit Kings insane.]]
41%%* NobleDemon: Judeka, which helps with his HeelFaceTurn.
42* NominalHero:
43** Cardis. He joined the Order of Darkness to gain their trust and take revenge on them for the death of his lover. However, he is anything but heroic, only looks out for himself, kills anyone (innocent or otherwise) who gets in his way without a second thought, and refuses to trust anyone.
44** Ada is somewhat a MoralityPet to him (being his lover's sister) as he spares her life twice and even promises her [[NoPlaceForMeThere once he's destroyed the Order of Darkness, his life will be hers to take]].
45%%* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Yes, they are.
46* PathOfInspiration: The Order of Darkness. The name itself should be an [[ObviouslyEvil indication.]]
47* RebelliousPrincess: [[spoiler: Candace. She ran away from her kingdom because she wanted to find a way to undo the brainwashing of her father and to dismantle the Order of Darkness from behind the scenes.]]
48* RefusalOfTheCall: At first, Lucio actually [[LampshadeHanging questions]] the arbitrariness of being the chosen one, to what the Wind Spirit King answers that [[YouCannotFightFate he can't fight fate]].
49%%* ShrinkingViolet: Lydia. She doesn't speak much, for instance.
50%%* SmallNameBigEgo: Juan.
51* SoLongAndThanksForAllTheGear: Candace does exactly this in Lucio's first encounter with her.
52* TwentyBearAsses: Pray to God you love these types of quests, because you'll be seeing them a lot.
53* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:High Priest Verat to the Order of Darkness, and then the God of Darkness.]]
54%%** And also the undertaker in Crene Cemetery.
55%%* {{Tsundere}}: Candace is a type B.
56* UngratefulBastard: Eijenhar. He thinks that he's doing you a favor letting you leaving alive. But then you rightfully kick his ass.
57** [[GenericDoomsdayVillain Kilgern]] is worse. Ameli pleads Kuntu for sparing his life even though he was about to kill them a second ago. Kuntu complies. Kilgern uses his last strength to turn Ameli to stone and kills himself in the process. So, he basically sacrifices himself to try and kill the girl who saved his life. This also leads to his superior's orders ending up in the good guys' hands, [[StupidEvil so not only was it a dick move, it was also very counterproductive]].
58* VictoryGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Happens after you defeat the God of Darkness. But you'll get better.]]
59* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Sister]]: Ada's primary motivation against the Order of Darkness and against Cardis for joining them.
60* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: [[spoiler:After you defeated the God of Darkness, it's shown and then it's [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]]].
