Line #9 Webcomic/FinalFantasyExcursions


1	A sprite comic written by Colin Castro which ran from 2001 to 2003 (when it was sadly discontinued), and starred a cast of characters from the [[OverlyLongGag nose-kissingly popular]] ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series. Its main characters were pulled from the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI first]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV fourth]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV fifth]], and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI sixth]] installments of ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', ''VideoGame/MegaMan'', ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'', and ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}''.

8	* AuthorAvatar: Colin Castro gets one in a blue [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Tails]] who resides in [[{{Heaven}} the afterlife]].
9	* ArtEvolution: Not with the characters, who stay the same, but the ''backgrounds'' go from two-color, MSP
10	* BadassDecay: WordOfGod is that Mario suffered from this, while Luigi TookALevelInBadass.
11	* BondVillainStupidity: Lampshaded by Elliot.
12	* ChekhovsGunman: The old man who Black Mage throws into the Forest of Instantaneous Death in the second page is later mentioned by his grandchild, who is looking for him. [[spoiler:He is brought up again at a more important point, when the King sends all the characters on a quest to find his brother, the same man yet again]].
13	* FollowTheLeader: The series is obviously "inspired" by ''[[Webcomic/EightBitTheater 8-Bit Theater]]''.
14	* GoldfishPoopGang: Trent, Dante, and Elliot.
15	* {{Heaven}}: Where Colin resides, alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi.
16	* IdiotHero: Fighter is an [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]] example, and most characters speculate that he's mentally retarded.
17	* LampshadeHanging: The comic is chock-full of these.
18	* LongLostRelative: The quest given by The King is to find his long-lost brother.
19	* LukeIAmYourFather: Done by The King to [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], in a word-for-word ShoutOut to ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.
20	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Elliot.
21	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The four main characters, Fighter, Thief, Black Mage, and White Mage, have no names aside from their job classification in the original ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Final Fantasy]]'' game.
22	* OnlySaneMan: White Mage, and sometimes Thief.
23	* PunchClockVillain: Trent, Dante, and Elliot come off as this.
24	* QuirkyMiniBossSquad: Trent, Dante, and Elliot, again.
25	* SadistShow
26	* SamusIsAGirl: With the original Samus.
27	* SpriteComic
28	* StatingTheSimpleSolution: After he and Trent easily knock out the entire party, Elliot wonders why they don't just shoot them.
29	* TookALevelInBadass: WordOfGod is that Luigi took one of these, while Mario [[BadassDecay inexplicably did the opposite]].
30	* TheVerse: The comic seems to tie in with Castro's other webcomic, with the inclusion of Trent, Dante, and Elliot.
