Devil Survivor 2: Difference between revisions

''But fear not. You will no longer feel anything...''|'''Quote from the Game Over screen'''}}

 

 

One ordinary Sunday [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]], [[Hello, Insert Name Here|a]] [[Ordinary High School Student|high school senior]] and [[Three Amigos|two of his classmates]] are headed back home after a mock exam session. But their trip home takes a grim turn when they each receive a email on their phones from [[Murder.Com|Nic]][[Meaningful Name|aea]], a "dead face delivery site" ([[Obvious Beta|in beta]]) supposedly able to show the user a photo depicting the death of any person typed into its search engine; however, it is dismissed as a hoax due to the inscrutable quality of the results.

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Action Bomb]]: Dubhe, Alioth and Merak's spawn.

* [[All There in the Manual]]: The art book has a lot of supplemental information about the characters, such as their heights, birthdays/star signs, where they want to travel, etc., and even goes as far as to mention that Yamato has a younger twin sister named Miyako (though, as far as the game goes, she is nonexistent).

* [[Ambidextrous Sprite]]: Fumi's dress and Makoto's badge.

* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Just like the first game, only even worse. {{spoiler|At least one of the player characters dies in any of the endings. About 2/3 of the cast can die, although the game is nice enough to force you to save people after you have killed off three characters, so you aren't left with a handful of characters at the end. Worst case scenario, five main characters will die by the end of the game.}}

* [[Axe Crazy]]: Bifrons ''likes'' to kill humans. He'll always ask the Anguished One if he can kill any humans in sight. {{spoiler|The only thing that keeps him in check is his master.}}

* [[Back From the Dead]]: {{spoiler|Nebiros brings back defeated demons using his Necromancy skill.}}

* [[Battle Royale With Cheese]]: The bulk of Day 7. ''Mostly'' nonlethal results.

* [[Bland-Name Product]]: A ruined "Starbacks" can be seen in Shibuya, and Yuzuru is apparently a reader of "Shoji Leap". And Daichi is into "Aberzombie" apparel. And Joe got scammed into buying an "Armanyo" suit.

* [[Blatant Lies]]: Grimehkala says something good will happen if you physically attack him. {{spoiler|He repels physical attacks}}.

** [[Half Truth|Well, something good for him, anyways]].

{{spoiler|'''Black Frost''': …Ho? What’re you saying, ho? You got me confused with somebody else!}} }}

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: A event with Joe has him and a NPC mention Billiken on day 2 as a doll and a God of Luck. Come day 6 and said doll is a boss.

* [[Chirping Crickets]]: Happens twice in one scene, during an event to revive Kama.

* [[Co-Dragons]]: Botis and Bifrons both serve {{spoiler|Alcor}}. Defeating both results in {{spoiler|Black Frost}} taking their place in every route but {{spoiler|Alcor's.}}

** {{spoiler|Oh. Bit like [[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne|Kagutsuchi]], then?}}

* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: If you defeat all the demons before defeating Ghost Q he'll decide to run away and must be beaten before he escapes to unlock him.

** To [[Looney Tunes]] when one of your dialogue options is [[Bugs Bunny|"What A Maroon!"]]

** One of the conversations with Io has her asking you how you knew she was looking for a bookstore. One of your responses is "[[The Dark Tower|Maerlyn's Grapefruit]]."

** After telling the protagonist {{spoiler|that he proposed to his girlfriend}}, Joe sings a ''strange song'' as he walks away.

{{quote|'''Joe''': [[The Lonely Island|''Girl you know we've together such a long, long time... doot do doo do...'']]}}

** One of the demons you can fuse is [[Joan of Arc]]. [[Kill It with Fire|Guess what her weakness is?]]

* [[Strength Equals Worthiness]]: {{spoiler|Bonus Boss Beelzebub}} entire reason for being a boss fight. {{spoiler|He's heard great things about the Protagonist and has come to test that strength.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Bonus Boss]] Belial and Nebiros picking the player characters to be Alices friends is because they are so strong that they are worthy of being her friends.}}

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: {{spoiler|Alcor, though his [[Blue and Orange Morality|values]] fall under different principles.}}

** {{spoiler|Yamato and Ronaldo fall under this better than Alcor does.}}

* [[The Capital of Brazil Is Buenos Aires]]: According to [[All There in the Manual|the game's artbook]], Ronaldo is half Brazillian, but if you go through his route he'll occasionally greet you in Spanish.

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: The protagonist and the others were going to be killed by a crashing train; in pops an Obariyon, who holds up the train and cheerily says, "No dying that way! I need to kill you!"

** Or, staying in the franchise, [[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]]. World ending? Check. Gathering the will of humanity under one philosophy in order to create a new one? Check. Having to fight the administrator of worlds itself at the end to create said world? Check. Note that these themes are common in the entire franchise, but this game really does feel like a 50/50% mix of the original Devil Survivor and Nocturne...

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Yamato, Keita, and The Anguished One.

* [[Your Days Are Numbered]]: Every day starting on Sunday one Septentrione attacks Japan. Because the alien invaders are named after the stars in the Big Dipper constellation, Hinako speculates that there will be a total of seven Septentriones, with the attacks lasting a week. And according to Yamato the Septentriones have the ability to destroy the entire world.
