* ThatsAnOrder: Diene makes a habit of treating Evann as her subordinate, even though she acknowledges he's still a civilian.
-->'''Diene:''' "[[ThatWasntARequest What you want doesn't matter.]] When you understand your position, come and talk to me."

* StrangeSalute: Nortis soldiers fold their elbow and clench their fist to their chest. Though the fist's position indicates to their heart, the salute's significance is neither described nor mentioned in-narrative.

* ArchaeologicalArmsRace: [[Spoiler:Kroitz and Specto pursue Quanlee with the belief that he is an Ancient WMD, and that obtaining his power will make the Nortis Army invincible.]]

*** A subverted example exists in Kroitz and Diene, both together and as individual characters. They're set up to allude to Mullen and Leen from the first game, even down to sharing identical military ranks. But due to [[spoiler:Kroitz's betrayal], they turn out considerably different from their earlier counterparts.

* TheSixthRanger: Lutina, who isn't a member of the team assigned to neutralize the Elemental Disorder, joins the party [[spoiler:after Kroitz betrayal.]]

* LuckBasedMission: As skills can only obtained trough RandomDrops, getting a specific one, like Coercion, can be very time-consuming, as each enemy has over 20 possible item drops.

* ManipulativeBastard: Kroitz. He manipulated the entire army to revive the BigBad.

* MythologyGag: The battle music from previous Grandia randomly change in Vortex Corridor.

%%* TheRival: Evann and Kroitz.

A 2002 SpinOff of the ''VideoGame/{{Grandia}}'' series focused on DungeonCrawling and combat, ''Grandia Xtreme's'' gamepley largely involves grinding for [[ForcedLevelGrinding levels, equipment and skills]]. There are ten dungeons in the game: seven Elemental Ruins, and three RandomlyGeneratedLevels (one of which is a 100 floors BonusDungeon).

* FakeLongevity: The game has over 40 hours of gameplay, but you'll spend most of that time {{backtracking}} the ruins for [[ForcedLevelGrinding level grinding]] and RandomDrops. While its not mandatory, it's high recommended, as the following bosses will be 5~10 levels higher than your strongest character, and Mana Eggs and Skill can only be obtained this way. It does not help that the Geo Gates you opened are reseted three times during the game (before the Venom Ruins, after the Light Ruins, and one more time after you beat the final boss), forcing you into starting every dungeon for the beginning, including the 30-floors Starry Corridor.

* FinalBossNewDimension: During final battle.

* HealingHands: Some mana eggs, like Aqua, Life and Restore have healing spells. Among the party members, Cheyenne, Myam and Ulk have Special Moves that can heals allies or cure status effects.

* LuckBasedMission: As skills can only obtained trough RandomDrops, getting a specific one, like Coercion, can be very time-consuming, as enemies can drop over 20 possibles types of item each.

* RandomlyDrops: Enemies can drop items when defeated. The best equipment and skills can only be obtained this way, since the item shop don't have the best gear available, and treasure chests usually have healing items in them.
* RareCandy: The stats-raising seeds.

* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: During final battle.

* {{BFS}}: Brandol.

** The Bone Mantis is basically a PaletteSwap of the [[VideoGame/GrandiaII Claw of Valmar.]] The [[GiantEnemyCrab Mother Crustacean]] also bears a resemblance to the Tongue of Valmar.

%%* KnifeNut: Titto.

%%* TheMedic: Myam.

* RareCandy: Stats-raising seeds.

* VideoGameStealing: Titto's Get Item.

A 2002 {{Spinoff}} of the ''VideoGame/{{Grandia}}'' series. As the ''Grandia'' games were renowned for their exciting and dynamic battle system, a decision was made to make a game that focused almost entirely on combat. Unfortunately, this means that [[ExcusePlot the story is threadbare]] and the gameplay largely involves grinding for [[ForcedLevelGrinding levels, equipment and skills]]. There are only seven dungeons in the game, three of which are [[RandomlyGeneratedLevels randomly generated]].

A natural disaster known as the Elemental Disorder has thrown the world into chaos, forcing the Nortis Army to mobilise and search for a solution. A young Ranger named Evann is recruited to help in this endeavour, an offer that he is prepared to turn down until he discovers that his childhood friend and [[TheRival rival]] Kroitz is a high-ranking commander within the army. Accepting the mission, Evann must travel to the four elemental temples that lie across the world and investigate just what (or ''who'') could be causing the Elemental Disorder.

* {{Expy}}: The Bone Mantis is basically a color swap of the [[VideoGame/GrandiaII Claw of Valmar.]] The [[GiantEnemyCrab Mother Crustacean]] also bears a resemblance to the Tongue of Valmar.
