Amnesia. Really?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Hence why the villagers already know what to do.
It's a slightly meta plot.

[Darvi]

We could go even more meta and make it so the amnesia is faked because a)it's the kind of thing people do and b)it helps evading potentially awkward questions.

[Neonivek]

Honestly I'd almost think it be better if the character actually turned out not to have Amnesia... that there was litterally nothing there before.

[Furtuka]

What if they turned out to be a literal escaped lunatic?

Ooh, nice!

Also an interesting plot twist, but I like the idea that Uriel is so desperate for adventure that she'll fake amnesia.

Meh.

I don't think most people will think "ooh, adventure" when they suddenly appear at a place that they don't know and they don't know how they got there.

In fact, after going through the other entries in that list, it's one cliché after another. I knew this was gonna happen.

That was the plan, though! Cliches abound!

[Korbac]

If anyone comes up with any decent non - cliches that can still be feasibly put in the game, I'm all ears.

Indeed!

[Darvi]

Was it.

Actually you TOTALLY got something there.

The main character faking amnesia! I only seen one game do it (for a plottwist) but that is something.

[Darvi]

I think FF10 did it too but most of the party was aware that he was just kinda "out there"

[GreatWyrmGold]

Was it.

Yes.
The very presence of so much knowledge of how heroics work is part of the meta-based humor of the suggested plot.

Uriel's father gets arrested for operating an illegal at the beginning of the game, so she goes out into the world to raise bail. Obviously she's highly embarrassed about it all, so whenever her background comes up in conversation she feigns amnesia or uses a common trope or something. Obviously all of the other people in the game accept it at face value while the player laughs at their stupidity. Ideally the deception would never be uncovered, unless it's for an important plot point and even then it should only be revealed to the party. Everyone else should still believe that she's a gifted orphan with amnesia or something.

Just an idea. It might not jive well with the rest of the story/plot.

Oh my God, I love this idea. It could be like some super-duper genre savviness.
