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.
Broken Base: Judging by the comments on the Final Fantasy Answers, the huge amount of characters seen as Expies has only gotten negative reviews. Some say they won't try the game just because of this, others say it's too soon to judge. It's not the first time fans of Final Fantasy choose to hate a game just because of its character design.
The Scrappy: Many hate Machina for his Wangst over his brother's death, being cold and often lashing at the Class Zero except for Rem without listening to their reason, being The Mole to his classmates for a basically paranoid council, his Face Heel Turn and his slaughter of his fellow Suzaku (never mind that it's partially because of his memory loss), revived at the end while the rest of the Class Zero students are dead, and effectively become the leader of Oriense without being called for any of his wrongdoing.
Tear Jerker: Izana's death. He fails to keep up a brave face and spends his final moments crying as he wishes he could live. Not to mention his chocobo dies with him. And it's just the intro.
Dear God, the ending scene where Class Zero chat about their future dreams to comfort each other as they slowly succumb to their wounds. By the time Machina and Rem get there, they are all lying dead in a huddle, holding hands.
