I suppose I sort of like Corrupt Church as a trope, although I'm really hoping that Zesteria might give religion a break for a change! Religious organisations do tend to get kinda unkind treatment in Tales games! But even so I do like seeing how these organisations work from game to game, and how the politics and religious aspects interact. Abyss and Symphonia are both really good for this - and to be fair, the religious/spiritual aspects of Abyss are quite even-handed, it's definitely one of my favourite aspects of the game.
Oh, I like the Lethal Chef/Supreme Chef stuff as well, hahaha, I love the attention to cooking in general! There was a fantastic compilation post on tumblr recently that went into great detail about all the different cooking styles of all the Symphonia characters, based on which ingredients they would tend to favour and which recipes they would excel in and such, and those sorts of details just make the respective casts that much more realistic and enjoyable. It's just such a great layer to the world, it really makes them exist outside of the main storyline, you know? SO YEAH, COOKING TROPE, GOOD.
Oh yeah, and no trope name for this, but I do approve of the badly drawn wanted posters, hahaha.
