Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Ass Pull: "Spy eyes". Really? That's the explanation as to how Gongora knew of Jansen and the party's dealings? You're not going to even foreshadow it, or anything...? Okay, then.
Ensemble Darkhorse: Jansen. Even people who aren't terribly fond of Lost Odyssey will attest to how, despite his rocky start, Jansen becomes incredibly likable.
Idiot Plot: Much of the plot relies on EVERYONE trusting the Big Bad. Even when he laughs insanely, and they are TOLD he is evil!
Narm: Everyone just so happens to die JUST as Kaim gets there... A bit sad at first, but when such horrible time is so excessive (and so very dramatic) it starts getting funny. Gongora claims early on that immortality attracts death; even though he's lying it looks like that lie was closer to the truth than he intended.
For some, Sarah, since we're told how amazing she is, only to never really see it happen in game.
That One Boss: Grilgan, Bogimoray, and the battle with the Numaran soldiers over Cooke and Mack's flowers are three good examples just from the first disc alone.
The Old Sorceress in Disc 2 can be troublesome if you aren't prepared to ignore going for the elemental weaknesses because her Scream ability randomly changes their weakness.
Living Ice in Disc 3. Your party consists of only Jansen, Ming, Cooke, and Mack. Living Ice's All-Aquara hits for about 750+ to the entire party and it can easily kill you if you aren't prepared.
It gets worse It eventually puts up a reflect and only Mack can really attack it. Since you get Mack and Cooke back at the scene with the fight, you can't level him up so if he's not strong enough, you're screwed
Ancient Fiend in Disc 4. Whatever you do, do not kill both of the Keystones or you will be asking for a world of pain.
Getting three stars on The Ring Master. Prepare to go into battle excessively prepared if you want a CHANCE of beating him.
The Woobie: Several characters have their moments, but none more than Sarah and Kaim.
Woolseyism: Evident if you understand some Japanese and play with that audio track, much of Jansen's dialogue has changed completely and his voice acting is the best in the game.
The English lines were recorded first, making this an inversion from an English speaker's perspective.
