Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_105f4bd9	type	Villain: Exit, Stage Left
Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_105f4bd9	comment	You Can't Kill Me, I Quit (Seifer Rule): The good guys never seem to get the hang of actually arresting or killing the bad guys. Minor villains are always permitted to go free so they can rest up and menace you again later — sometimes five minutes later. Knowing this rule, you can deduce that if you do manage to kill (or force the surrender of) a bad guy, you must be getting near the end of the game.

Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_19769f50	comment	¿Quien Es Mas Macho? (Fargo Rule): Every powerful character you attempt to seek aid from will first insist upon "testing your strength" in a battle to the death. (Related to Duel Boss)

Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_323f135b	comment	Local Control Rule: Although the boss monster terrorizing the first city in the game is less powerful than the non-boss monsters that are only casual nuisances to cities later in the game, nobody from the first city ever thinks of hiring a few mercenaries from the later cities to kill the monster.

Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_33fa230b	comment	Fake Ending: There will be a sequence which pretends to be the end of the game but obviously isn't — if for no other reason than because you're still on Disk 1 of 4.

Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_43eb61dc	type	Villain Teleportation
Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_43eb61dc	comment	Zap!: Most villains in RPGs possess some form of teleportation. They generally use it to materialize in front of the adventurers when they reach the Obligatory Legendary Relic Room and seize the goodies just before you can. The question "If the bad guy can teleport anywhere at any time, then why doesn't (s)he just zip in, grab the artifact, and leave before the adventurers have even finished the nerve-wracking puzzle on the third floor?" is never answered.

Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_55c63e0	comment	"What are we going to do tonight, Vinsfeld?" The goal of every game (as revealed during the Fake Ending) is to Save The World from an evil figure who's trying to take it over or destroy it. There is no way to escape from this formidable task. No matter whether the protagonist's goal in life is to pay off a debt, to explore distant lands, or just to make time with that cute girl in the blue dress, it will be necessary for him to Save The World in order to accomplish it. Take heart, though — once the world gets sorted out, everything else will fall into place almost immediately.

Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_5678cbfc	comment	Indestructible Weapon Rule: No matter how many times you use that sword to strike armored targets or fire that gun on full auto mode it will never break, jam or need any form of maintenance unless it is critical to the story that the weapon breaks, jams or needs maintenance.

Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_6de71c57	comment	You Die, And We All Move Up In Rank: During that fake ending, the true villain of the story will kill the guy you'd thought was the villain, just to demonstrate what a badass he (the true villain) really is. You never get to kill the fake villain yourself. (See also Hijacked by Ganon)

Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_7570a10c	comment	And Now You Die, Mr. Bond! (Beatrix Rule): Fortunately for you, the previous rule also applies in reverse. Rather than kill you when they have you at their mercy, the villains will settle for merely blasting you down to 1 hit point and leaving you in a crumpled heap while they stroll off, laughing. (This is, of course, because they're already planning ahead how they'll manipulate you into doing their bidding later in the game — see Way To Go, Serge.)

Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_8d6c8737	comment	Selective Paralysis: Your characters must always keep both feet on the ground and will be unable to climb over low rock ledges, railings, chairs, cats, slightly differently-colored ground, or any other trivial objects which may happen to be in their way. Note that this condition will not prevent your characters from jumping from railroad car to railroad car later in the game.

Console RPG Clichés 25 to 48 / int_a4cb54b4	comment	Fodor's Guide Rule: In the course of your adventure you will visit one desert city, one Port Town, one mining town, one casino city, one magic city (usually flying), one medieval castle kingdom, one clockwork city, one martial arts-based community, one thieves' slum, one lost city and one sci-fi utopia. On the way you'll also get a chance to see the cave with rocks that glow from a natural energy source, the village populated with nonhuman characters, the peaceful village where everyone knows the latest news about the hero's quest (see Guy in the Street Rule), the snow village, the magical forest/lake/mountain, the shop in the middle of nowhere, the fantastic-looking place with lots of FMVs just showing your entrance, the subtropical jungle island populated by friendly natives, the annoying cavern maze, and a place — any place — that was destroyed in some past disaster.
