Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A character you are required to have in your party.

* '''Straight''': In ''Tales of Troperia XXII'', you are required to take [[WhiteMagicianGirl Wimmaga]] in your party in the BigBoosHaunt level.
* '''Exaggerated''': Three of your four party slots are filled by required party members on ''every'' level.
* '''Downplayed''': You only need to have Wimmaga in your party for the end of level boss battle and there is a SavePoint right before where you can swap her into the party, meaning you can use whoever you want for the rest of the level.
* '''Justified''': Permanently defeating the level's boss requires someone trained in WhiteMagic to exorcize him and Wimmaga is the only party member with that ability at this point in the game.
* '''Inverted''': OptionalPartyMember
* '''Subverted''': Wimmaga is auto-selected on the party select screen when entering the level, but you can choose to unselect her.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...but if you unselect her, the level ends with a HopelessBossFight since no one in your party can exorcize him to permanently kill him.
* '''Parodied''': Your party is a BadassCrew established to be able to defeat full-blown {{Eldritch Abomination}}s...but you are required to leave one of them behind when accepting the quest in order to take a little girl in a white dress who "exorcizes" the SillySpook boss by asking him nicely to leave.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': You are required to take Wimmaga into the BigBoosHaunt level, but you can use the first SavePoint you come across to swap her out of your party. However, the level ends with a HopelessBossFight since no one in your party can exorcize him to permanently kill him. But, once one of your party members gets knocked out, a dialogue box pops up asking if you'd like to swap in Wimmaga.
* '''Averted''': No party members are required at any point in the game.
* '''Enforced''': The game is based on a book in which the party takes Wimmaga into BigBoosHaunt to exorcize the lead ghost haunting the place, so the game is programmed to match.
* '''Lampshaded''': When the party select screen for the level pops up with Wimmaga auto-selected, party member [[QuirkyBard Quirby]] quips: "It's almost like some invisible force is making us take her along!"
* '''Exploited''': Wimmaga is the LastOfHerKind from a MageSpecies race and the BigBad needs her blood to complete his scheme to bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. So he summons the ghost boss at the end of the level, knowing the party will need to bring along Wimmaga to defeat him, as a trap to capture her.
* '''Defied''': Sensing that the dungeon is a trap by the BigBad, [[TheHero Hiro]] refuses to bring Wimmaga and says [[IndyPloy he'll figure something out as he goes]] to defeat the boss instead. At the very end of the HopelessBossFight that ensues, a cut scene plays of Hiro, in desperation, throwing a Revive at the boss. [[ReviveKillsZombie It works]].
* '''Discussed''':
* '''Conversed''': Before the level, Hiro and [[TheLancer Lancel]] discuss the situation. Lancel reminds Hiro that they need someone skilled in white magic in order to actually defeat the boss, so they must bring Wimmaga.
* '''Deconstructed''': Taking Wimmaga to exorcize the boss is the most obvious way to proceed and she is auto-selected for the dungeon. However, it turns out that using the game's WhiteMagic actually weakens the game's deities and this fact has been obscured by the CorruptChurch which has been influenced by the BigBad. To get the GoldenEnding, you need to leave Wimmaga behind and figure out another way not hinted at in the game (like ReviveKillsZombie) to defeat the boss.
* '''Reconstructed''': ...However, completing a DifficultButAwesome early [[SidequestSidestory optional questline]] removes the god-weakening corruption from using white magic, unlocking Wimmaga's full HolyIsNotSafe power including {{Holy Hand Grenade}}s and a divine PillarOfLight KillSat that make her so powerful you won't ''want'' to take her out of your party.
* '''Played for Laughs''':
* '''Played for Drama''':
