* Addressing the Player - The Guardian Spirit is you, the player.
* Bond Creatures
* Finishing Move: In the first game, carrying out your combo with Kalas and later on with your brief stint with Xelha to just before its current maximum would yield a chance for any of the Magnus in your hand to change to one of six Spirit Spells, very powerful elemental spells that scaled in strength with your class level. At class 6, they are stronger than your character's strongest finishers. The absence of this ability in Origins is a plot point.
* Hello, Insert Name Here: Origins at least gives you a fixed gender, which helps the voice actors. This is a plot point later on. EWLO had it's awkward breaks for your name, though.
* Laser-Guided Amnesia: The guardian spirit in Eternal Wings can't remember things before the beginning of the game.
* Level Up At Intimacy 5: You’ll often get two or three options of what to say during cutscenes. What you say doesn’t affect the plot (except for one particular instance in Origins, where choosing the wrong answer gives you a Nonstandard Game Over), but giving the right answers will help you fight better, powering up your Spirit Attacks in Eternal Wings and improving the chances of you getting useful cards in Origins.
* Tomato Surprise: In Origins.
* You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In EWLO, Kalas does this to you after The Reveal of his role as The Mole. In Origins, the non-standard game over (you to Sagi)
