The Chosen One. Prophecies. It doesn't matter whether the characters are defying or fulfilling fate, I just love love that stuff. Trite, cliché, whatever. Bonus points if they're in the situation due to fate, but it's hopeless at the end, or the outcome is not preordained, and they triumph anyway.

Amnesia plots. Especially in the main character. Yes, it's lazy, especially in video games. I don't care. Again, bonus points for the character later finding out who they were before, especially if who they were is someone who would not have helped the heroes for whatever reasoning.

A person being a key...thing. Like, a sealed evil, or a plot trinket, or whatever. If that's a person--especially if they're completely unaware of what they are--I'll eat that right up. Especially if the villain is trying to use them somehow. Extra bonus points if they have some sort of relationship to the villain.

And I really like my heroes to be upright and moral, as in sticking to their own morals no matter what, regardless of whether people call them awful or gullible or stubborn or whatever for it. There can be nuances to it, but I like my heroes to be determined.

Not yet, no, although I've been thinking about getting the one on 3DS now that I have one. At least once Fire Emblem stops eating my life again, that is. Tales of sounds like it's exactly what I'd like from everything I've heard of it.
