[[File:Atelier_Iris_2.jpg|frame|Being a hero makes you go gray early]]
''[[Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny]]'' is the second in the Atelier Iris series of [[Role Playing Games|Role Playing video games]] which itself is a subseries of the [[Atelier Series|Atelier]] alchemy-based RPGs. (Note: "Azoth" is an old alchemical term for mercury, once believed to be a wondrous substance.)
Despite being a sequel, the game actually takes place several centuries before the first Atelier Iris (since the character of {{spoiler|Iris}} appears only as child.) It stars a pair of teenage alchemists, Felt and Viese, who, having grown up together, have the old Anime problem of [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|denying their obvious feelings for each other.]]
Line 14:
* '''Gray''', a humanoid dragon (actually a {{spoiler|warrior who gained a draconic appearance from fighting too many dragons}} );
* '''Poe''', a fairy who looks like a little boy but is actually an incorregible womanizer (and fights with a gun!)
* '''Fee''', a female warrior sent to destroy the Azoth ({{spoiler|it's a misunderstanding}}) by a religious order.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Marriage]]: Poe ends up marrying a [[Catgirl]] when she overhears him reciting a love declaration and believes it to be directed at her.
* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]] - This is actually a core mechanic of the game and one of it's selling points; you can flip between Felt on the ground and Viese in Eden as you wish and progress the two stories as you see fit. (Well, to some degree, at least; advancing Viese's story requires certain triggers at points in Felt's story. {{spoiler|And the tales eventually merge, to boot.}})
Line 23:
* [[Artificial Human]]- {{spoiler|Yuveria is really just a machine/computer program.}}
* [[Bag of Sharing]] - The Share Rings, which let Felt and Viese share items (including stuff Viese makes with all the things Felt finds in the lower world) despite their great distance from one another. Somehow, this still includes the rest of the party.
* [[Become Your Weapon]]: Palaxius pulls this trope when he merges with the Azoth for the final boss fight.
* [[Better Than It Sounds Video Games]] - Excalibur can talk. Turns out to be a total Jerkass. Also turns out to have {{spoiler|an [[Evil Counterpart]]}}.
* [[Book Dumb]] - Felt, who learned Mana Synthesis pretty quickly, but was more interested in combat/sword-fighting to learn true synthesis and become a full-fledged alchemist such as Viese.
Line 32:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]] - Tolena
* [[Crapsack World]] - The world below Eden is initially portrayed as this, in contrast to Eden's [[Utopia]]. ( {{spoiler|The truth is, naturally, a little more complicated.}}) This version of Regallzine is still quite easily the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism|grimmest]] setting the franchise has ''ever'' explored, though.
* [[Doomed
* [[Emotionless Girl]] - Fee
* [[Evil Chancellor]] - Theodore
Line 48:
* [[Lightning Bruiser]] - The [[Final Boss]] is one of these, to many a player's frustration.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]] - Noin is {{spoiler|Galahad's daughter}} and Fee turns out to be {{spoiler|Max's long lost sister}}.
* [[Kid
* [[Knight Templar]] - Galahad, one of the Imperial Champions.
** More of a [[Worthy Opponent]]. Galahad doesn't believe in what Theodore is doing, and often actively criticizes it. But he also happens to be part of the [[My Country, Right or Wrong]] school of thought.
Line 54:
* [[Hand Cannon]] - Poe's absurd doomcannon is ''as big as he is''. And then of course he's always hitting on Viese whenever possible...
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] - Felt and Viese, although they aren't antagonistic in any way, and the colors associated with them are actually ''reversed''; Felt's normal outfit includes a blue overshirt, while Viese typically capers around in a maroon dress.
** More standard example is the Azoths. The Azure Azoth is good while the Crimson Azoth is evil. {{spoiler|And the [[Big Bad]] of the game, no less.}}
* [[Running Gag]] - [[Played for Laughs]] with Felt and Max, where Max consistently says Felt's name wrong.
* [[Shout-Out]] - Through the above trope, Max eventually ends up calling Felt, [[Atelier Iris|Klein]].
* [[Spell My Name
* [[Stripperiffic]] - Viese is one of the [[Atelier Series|Atelier]] heroines who very much avoids this trap; if anything she's the franchise's most conservatively-dressed heroine, almost to the point of absurdity for her native climate (two or more layers of clothing for a paradise island that's apparently warm-temperate year-round?) [[Ms. Fanservice|Noin on the other hand]]...
* [[Talking Weapon]] - {{spoiler|The Azoth}}
Line 64:
* [[Turned to Stone]] - Chaos likes doing this.
* [[Utopia]] - Eden approximates this, [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|if you couldn't tell from the name]].
* [[Younger Than They Look]] - Invoked by {{spoiler|Fee of all people when the gallery tells you that her age is 14. To quote a [[
