* UsedFuture: Some elements do invoke this despite its mostly traditional fantasy setting. Most importantly, Babel has a somewhat run-down, open feel to it despite using advanced technology to keep its air clean, and that's not even getting into the slums. Garal Clock Tower, among others, has a [[Film/BladeRunner Blade-Runner]]-esque feel to them, mixed with Steampunk. The Tower in Danelf in Sion's scenario has a rustic feel to it despite having elevators. Dune's gun in the boxart wouldn't feel off in Franchise/StarWars's Tatooine or Jakku.

* ButtMonkey: Surlent does ''not'' have the best luck in his campaign. While Riza is born with her Jade and Sion gets his rather early , Surlent spends a good portion of his campaign without a Jade to call his own. When he finally gets it...[[spoiler:the impact of it flying into his body kills him instantly. But by luck, Surlent is given a body to possess to fix his life. He meets Culgan, a seemingly helpful man who helps get the both of them out of the underworld...only for Culgan to betray Surlent, killing him (again) and stealing his real body in the process. But no worries! There's one more body waiting for Surlent to try to fix things one last time! And he does, he gets his body back. However, if you make the wrong decision and don't give Sion a special sword when you have the option, at the end of his campaign Surlent gets killed '''again''' and sealed inside the sword (which lasts until the 4th and final campaign).]] Pretty tough luck.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: During the opening, when the narration explains how Humanity came into existence after the previous 4 races died off, we see the faces of 4 distinct characters. Right after starting, you get to name those four characters. Yet after doing so, you can only choose between three of them. The fourth character at first appears to just be a plucky thief side character who shows up from time to time. [[spoiler:But given the equal focus he has with the 3 playable protagonists at the start, it's not a huge surprise that he eventually is of major importance himself. Specifically as the fourth and final protagonist of the final campaign.]]

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* FourIsDeath: Squaresoft really did a number with this: 4 Jades, 4 Heroes, 4 Greats, 4 Rudras, 4 Divine Danans, 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, 4 characters per party, etc... also inevitably leading to LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Interestingly, there are more villains and/or supernatural beings than actual playable characters.

* MythologyGag: Don't call Dune and Cid thieves. They're [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI TREASURE HUNTERS]]. It's even in the flavor text for Dune's best dagger, Freedom. "Call me a treasure hunter or..."

* MythologyGag: Multiple involving Dune and Cid.
** First off:
Don't call Dune and Cid thieves. They're them thieves; they're [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI TREASURE HUNTERS]]. It's even in the flavor text for Dune's best dagger, Freedom. "Call me a treasure hunter or...""
** Secondly, their names. Cid's is obvious to any fan of ''[[Franchise/FinalFantasy Final Fantasy]]'', as the name shared by that series' ever-growing roster of middle-aged, mechanically-inclined men. Dune's might not be as obvious to English-speaking players: It's the same as [[DubNameChange the Japanese name]] of Arthur, the main protagonist of ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyLegendIII Final Fantasy Legend III / SaGa 3: Jikuu no Hasha]]'', the first turn-based [=JRPG=] the development staff of ''Treasure of the Rudras'' made at Squaresoft.

* GreenAesop: Sort of. The world being polluted to the point where all water is tainted is a major theme of the game, but the focus is on the pollution being a side effect of the evil rather than the evil stemming from pollution.

* GreenAesop: Sort of. The world being polluted to the point where all water is tainted is a major theme of the game, but the focus is on the pollution being a side effect of the evil rather than the evil stemming from pollution. This ''is'' arguably TruthInTelevision, to be fair, since pollution in the real world is caused by reckless disregard for the well-being of nature rather than the other way around.
