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.
How is Bigieu/Isabella a villain in Seiken Densetsu 3 and a friend to the heroes in Sword of Mana? I've always considered Sword of Mana/Final Fantasy Advance to happen after SD3, though I could be wrong about this. Or are they even the same person?
Probably just a Shout-Out. The two Isabellas act nothing alike; just like how all the Mana games have had a Watts, and how Goremand is a lot lamer than Deathjester.
The defining trait is that Bigieu was in love with her Dark Prince, just as Isabella loved Dark Lord. The entire game is just a Shout-Out to past Mana games, really.
Word of God is that all of the games are in separate continuities from each other, so they technically aren't the same person.
