266. european-based humans do not abuse the letter "Y" as a vowel or are Welsh.

267. Elves do not live in a forest because they love nature.

268. Elves are not self-centered-stuck-up-snobs-who-think-they're-better-than-everybody-else and that's why they live in a nature-worshipping forest away from everybody else.

269. Elves are not Asian or Eastern-European based.

270. Orcs are not primitive "Me ask you question"-warrior types and are actually smart.

272. The church is not 100% corrupted or spreading lies.

275. If characters are aligned with a certain element, the hero is NOT aligned with fire or wind.

276. If the characters are aligned with a certain element, The heal-bot element is NOT water.

278. If the characters are aligned with a certain element, Earth is NOT given the shaft, limited to just earthquakes, or given to the tank who rarely uses it in favour of physical attacks because his magic stat sucks.

279. If the characters are aligned with a certain element, Wind is actually defensive as well.

281. Mages say that they "invent" spells to explain how they can learn new ones upon leveling up or investing enough points in the skills.

282. If the hero is given a default "job", then they are NOT a swordsman or samurai. No sword. Period. NO. SWORD.

283. Staves can actually deal damage.
(Final Fantasy tactics A2 does this, since the Master Monk class is based on offensive staves and tonfas)

284. Archers can actually smack you with a bow or attack when you're too close instead of just standing there going "DUUUUUUUUURRRRRR...." while you beat 'em up with an axe.

285. The hero is actually a pugilist who fights unarmed, a mage, a lancer, or in general anything but a sword user.
(Done in some games - Senel and Yuri fight unarmed)

286. Royalty actually DOES something. Bonus points if they are something like a researcher.

287. When you are given a choice between differing paths, they are NOT just "Good or evil". Instead they can be viewed as "good" or "evil" from either way.

288. Good is not "Why I'm quite good! I MUST MAINTAIN IT ALL!" while evil is NOT "DURRRRR I'M EVIL!" and is just about murdering people.

289. When you have to take paths, they do not go in a completely different direction and may actually end up at the same place. (notice that Tactics Ogre and Knight of Lodis did this.)

290. A Zagi-like subvillain is featured.

291. Darkness is actually not 100% evil and light is not 100% good as Rose and Mithos Yggdrasil should have taught you otherwise by now.

292. Women can actually fight just as well as men and men can actually be the "healbot" role. (Mary Argent, Farah Oersted, Keele Ziebel and Hisui Hearts, anyone?)

293. Princesses are not healbots.
