True Evil Awaits a True Hero (Baal's Rule): Any endgame Bonus Boss is invariably stronger than the Big Bad or Man Behind the Man you fight at the end who's very obviously trying to Take Over the World and failing at it, reasons be damned. May be a Physical God, Eldritch Abomination, Forgotten Superweapon, Person of Mass Destruction, or something similarly superpowered that will most likely make you flip a table for being That One Boss, unless you were savvy enough to read a Strategy Guide. Rarely, can also be a Marathon Boss. Degree of evil optional. Limiter Collary: Through specific conditions on the journey will the Big Bad be fought at his or her full strength. | |

The Desire Sensor Addendum: Once you want something to happen, the RNG will bend itself in such a way that the odds will become phenomenally low. Conversely, when you aren't thinking about something happening, the odds of it happening will skyrocket. You also cannot cheat the system with reverse psychology or denying it. It knows. | |

Screw the Money, I Have Destiny (Mitsuru's Lament): Opposite of the above, but rare and applies mostly to the hero. Should the hero (or a party member) be rich, the player will never have access to their income, supplies, or other items they have, for being as rich as they are. Addendum: At least one cutscene will involve this character's parents/family/butlers sacrificing themselves to protect the character. | |

Rules of Romance (Bianca's Lament): If the game has a romantic subplot, the protagonist will end up with his blonde childhood friend. If the game lets you choose between various characters, one of them will be your blonde childhood friend. The other options will be the Black Magician Girl and maybe a Lady of War. But there will always be three, and very seldom a Gay Option. | |

Link's Law: Should the protagonists be able to wield a weapon other than their preferred, they will invariably have a masterly level of skill. This is true even and especially if this does not make sense given the character's backstory. (e.g. street rat, farmer, businessman, etc.) | |

Quina's Corollary: In the absence of (or, heaven forbid, in addition to) the above characters, you will have a character who will have exceptional skills and be incredibly dangerous in good hands, but is incredibly awkward or out of place for the setting. You'll be forced to use them too. | |

Obligatory Mascot Character (Morgana, Teddie and Koromaru's Rule): The game will often have a marketable cute mascot character, especially if it’s a JRPG. Sometimes, it may be a Mascot Mook, but other times, it may actually be a party member. If so, they’re usually male and almost never female (which is ironic, since cute characters are often made with the younger female demographic in mind). They usually come in two flavors. One, they will usually turn out to useful in some way (both in-battle and to the plot), yet also often quite annoying due to having an immature or pervy personality or whatever other character flaw. Two, the exact opposite: They won’t be annoying at all (and may in fact be beloved by the other characters and the player), but they won’t be as useful or powerful as the other party members for whatever reason. Regardless of which flavor the mascot character is, they’re often paired together with the main character as pretty close friends. Otherwise, they’re usually paired with another party member as they may get up to weird antics and have weird adventures together. | |

Something To Not Aim For (Nisan Rule): If you see a shop sell an item, you can't possibly afford at this point of the game, better instantly forget about it. By the time you have enough cash on hand to buy it, you'll either have equipment that's better anyway, or it won't be available anymore. | |

The Trainer School Isn't For Trainers: In-universe institutions established to teach adventurers will actually tell the player very little about how to adventure. Certainly less than trial and error (or, indeed, checking out the enclosed instruction book) will do. | |

Scooby's Axiom: Any problem in the known world, from a missing apple to quarreling lovers to the impending apocalypse, can and most likely will be solved by a bunch of meddling kids. Addendum: No matter how many times said kids prove themselves to be far more capable and competent than adults, said adults will go out of their way to belittle them as "just kids" and/or put themselves unnecessarily in harms way and hide things from them to "protect" said kids, frequently getting themselves killed. | |

God of Getting His Ass Kicked (Law of Final Fantasy): If your game features a Physical God, expect to have to fight (and beat) him at least once during the game, however contrived the reasons may seem. Summoning Dissonance Corollary: In the event that the villainous plot is to summon such a Physical God, it is considerably easier to defeat the god than to stop the summoners. | |

Back to Prohibition: Hardened pirates, city guardsmen, and dastardly thieves all have one thing in common: they drink nothing stronger than fruit juice. | |

Rewarding Munchkinism (a.k.a. The Melmond Effect): If a shop sells Single-Disc Game Breakers, expect the next storyline-related dungeon to have a Hall of Gigas. | |

Amnesia equals importance (Neptunia’s Rule): Whenever the main character has amnesia, chances are they’ll turn out to have been someone extremely important, whether it be an Amnesiac God, someone destined to save the world, a former villain, A Living MacGuffin, etc...Of course, this doesn’t just apply if it’s the main character who has amnesia. If it’s the hero’s best friend or love interest who has memory problems or who at least can’t remember parts of his/her past instead of the main character, then the chances of this rule applying to them skyrockets. | |
