----

** DarkIsEdgy: Selene, Areus

* [[spoiler: {{AnguishedDeclarationOfLove}}: Sheelagh kisses Areus right before she dies.]]

* BittersweetEnding: Boy is it ever. [[spoiler:[[TheHero Areus]] performs a {{HeroicSacrifice}} to remove Balor's immortality and kill him, but at the cost of being forgotten by everyone. By the way, his whole family is dead. So is his love interest. But at least the tyrant is dead and will have a much nicer ruler on the throne!]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Lots. It makes the {{BreakTheCutie}} moments just that much more heartbreaking.

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: The game's intro cutscene, granted you do some of the stuff shown in it, but not like THAT. There's also [[spoiler: Reig's first appearance of him taking down 3 Ogres]]

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Twice [[spoiler:Dorado, then Sheelagh.]]

* Elemental Powers: Your party can use different elemental attacks. Special note goes to Selene's Earth Lore which uses different elements depending on the terrain.

* EmotionlessGirl: Played with and subverted with Selene

** EscortMission: Surprisingly NOT annoying. The [=NPCs=] in the game are pretty much {{MadeOfIron}} and [[GuestStarPartyMember even help you in fights.]]

* OrcusOnHisThrone: Big Bad [[{{KickTheDog}} kills his son and daughter]] during intro sequence, however he prefer to warm his throne even [[spoiler: while his castle being attacked by a dragon.]]

** [[{{BareYourMidriff}} Selene]] to lesser extent.

* WorldOfBadass: Your [[PowerTrio party]] is quite badass, considering their accomplishments in the story. Anyone that isn't a generic NPC too, really.

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: When trying to find the Sword of Nihil, Areus instead finds [[spoiler:a sword called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin False Sword of Nihil.]]]]

* DoppelgangerAttack: Selene's mirror step increases her speed and creates a duplicate of her for extra attacks. At full power, she gets 4 duplicates and her attacks become MoreDakka.

* Elemental Powers: Your party can use different elemental attacks.

* ForMassiveDamage: Breaking an enemy. If the enemy is in a vulnerable state after they launch a powerful attack, you can cause a stun and extra damage, by either hitting them with an attack they're weak to or rack up enough hits in a short period of time.

* MoneyForNothing: Largely averted, monsters seldom drop money and the shops are random in their selection and change fairly frequently (shops carry items that range from being garbage to rivalling the mightiest artifacts). Money stays useful in-game for a very long time.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Dagda, Reig. They're members of the Bolg race, who are large humanoids with a quick physical maturation time.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Dagda, Reig

* FragileSpeedster: Selene, her defenses are low, however her HP is on par with Areus' allowing her to take quite a few hits.

* {{Stripperific}}: Sheelagh, Kheryuneia.
