The RPG Cliches Game (Website)	comment	Back in the day (1998 or thereabouts — after Final Fantasy VII and the deluge of copycats it inspired, but before Final Fantasy VIII) the cult video game review site the GIA (Gaming Intelligence Agency) published its classic "RPG cliches game", basically a Drinking Game with the console RPG tropes of the time. It is the predecessor of The Grand List of Console Role Playing Game Clichés and other, similar lists and was compiled by Fritz Fraundorf and numerous other contributors.It is very much a product of its time (pay no attention to the shots against American RPGs, for example), in that it lists many tropes that are the result of technological limitations and no longer occur today. However, it was still influential enough to name some of the tropes on this very wiki, such as Fake King, Fetch Quest, Broken Bridge, and Trauma Inn.The entire list is reproduced here for your edification:Contains many spoilers, but they're all for older games. Buyer beware. Note to Tropers — The list item text and order should not be changed. Adding links to tropes should be fine, as long as they don't change the displayed text. Please follow the established pattern of blue-shifting just the title when a complete match is found.

Thus, any character that joins your party for any length of time (in a game where you can choose which characters you want to use) is not going to die, because the artists don't want to spend time on a character that isn't going to be used much. (Final Fantasy VII is a notable exception here.) Also, any character (such as Mina in Breath of Fire II) with their own unique sprite is important, even if it doesn't seem like it at the time, because otherwise the artists would not waste their time drawing a different sprite.

At certain parts of the storyline, characters that are about to be defeated (as part of the story) will suddenly use some ultimate attack (that they can't normally use) to obliterate the enemy. However, after the battle, you still can't use that ability until you get it later. See Ryu turning into the Kaiser Dragon in Breath of Fire III, Fei uses his Infinite Attack Level ability in Xenogears, etc.
