* {{Homage}}: To Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest III in particular, but also to old school RolePlayingGames in general.

* NamesTheSame: [[DragonBall Kakarotto?]]

* FiveBadBand:

* DarkerAndEdgier: The fourth and fifth chapters. The fourth starts with a frighteningly subverted CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming and the fifth has some of the gloomiest moments in the game, including the BittersweetEnding.

* GenreSavvy: Murzhor. Dangerously so.
-->"Heroes who save the world are ''always'' born in small, remote mountain villages! [[spoiler: That's why we're sacking every one we can find!]]"

-->VideoGame/DragonQuestIV: The first chapter of the game is very reminiscent of the first chapter of Dragon Quest IV. [[spoiler:Numerous children have vanished and it's up to you to investigate their mysterious disappearance.]]
-->The Gurus meet in [[Literature/{{Shannara}} Paranor]]. There's also Elfstones and a city named Aborlon.
-->There's a stealthy one to ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' in Cidney. "I see you've played knifey-spooney before!"
-->The fifth chapter has some parallels with ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime''.

* ButThouMust: Being inspired by {{Dragon Quest}} means that this was a given.

-->The fifth chapter has some parallels with TheWheelofTime.

* {{Badass}}: Your characters. They aren't chosen by destiny, the forces of good picked them based on the fact that they're just THAT good.

* BittersweetEnding: The heroes triumph but [[spoiler: the ENTIRE Army of Light is wiped out in a single attack and TheChosenOne, an eight or nine year old girl, dies. Ouch.]]

* {{Expy}}: Three of the four heroes are very much so, even using the graphics of similar characters from FinalFantasyIV. Rydia portrays a wizard, Edge is used for a young ninja with dead parents, and Yang is a stoic monk and respected member of his monastery. Oddly enough, the first hero uses [[FinalFantasyV Faris's]] sprite with blue hair and is only similar in appearance.

-->{{The Brute}}: [[CompleteMonster Urok]]

* AWorldwidePunomenon: Yes.

* RareCandy: There are lots of seeds that increase your stats, much like DragonQuest.

You lead four heroes and their allies on a quest to rid the world of the [[BigBad Lord of Demons]], Mephistocles. Over the course of four chapters, you take four pre-determined heroes and twelve characters you design yourself (three under each hero) across the land, performing great deeds and eventually meeting up to become one gigantic demon extermination squad in the fifth chapter. In the final chapter, the game [[OpeningTheSandbox opens up]] and you can find ancient artifacts and purge the world of evil as you will. BetterThanItSounds
