Line 48:
* [[The Medic]]
* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: '''H. Touch''', which thankfully [[Took a Level In Badass]] between the first two games and became their [[Limit Break]].
* [[Shout -Out]]: H. Touch and Caduceus skills are a reference to [[Trauma Center|another popular Atlus series]].
* [[Weapon of Choice]]:
** [[Simple Staff]]
Line 149:
* [[Limit Break]]: H. Touch, which ''now'' completely heals and restores the Medic and all allies to full HP and cured status.
* [[The Medic]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: They still have H. Touch and Caduceus.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]:
** [[Simple Staff]]
Line 158:
* [[Pure Energy]]: Megido and Eschaton
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: Megido is a spell from [[Shin Megami Tensei (Franchise)|Shin Megami Tensei]], and a pretty darn strong one at that.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]
* [[Weapon of Choice]]:
Line 195:
* [[More Dakka]]: The Flying Bullets maneuver
* [[Nice Hat]]: A mark of the class.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The blue-suited female Gunner has a [[Shin Megami Tensei (Franchise)|Jack Frost]] hatpin.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]:
** [[The Gunslinger]]
Line 264:
* [[Bad Ass Old Guy]]: Der Freischultz, who also sports a [[Badass Longcoat]].
* [[I Call It Vera]]: Wilhelm names his guns Selena and Traumerei.
* [[Shout -Out]]: [[Der Freischuetz|Der Freischütz]]: Not only it's Wilhelm's title, said opera's name can mean "Magic Bullet Shooter", which Wilhelm certainly qualifies (for example, he can shoot you with an ice bullet), And when you beat him you get a loot which unlocks Zamiel Gun, a mediocre gun which ''penalizes your accuracy''. The gun is named after one character, Zamiel.<ref>A demon summoned by the main antagonist Caspar who wants to see [[Deal With the Devil|the protagonist Max dragged to hell in place of him]] by making Max use [[Evil Weapon|a demonic bullet]] during a shooting contest. In said contest, Max nearly accidentally shoots his lover Agathe who arrives in the location amid fears for Max, but the bullet ''misses'' her, and instead [[Karmic Death|hit Caspar who is hiding in a tree]], thus forfeiting his own soul to Zamiel.</ref>
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Artelind
* {{spoiler|[[Tragic Monster]]}}: {{spoiler|They reveal Scylla to be one.}}
Line 322:
* [[Doppleganger Attack]]: Ninja can create a clone of themselves to act independently as a Sixth party member during combat; if for whatever reason you're using less than five characters, [[Me's a Crowd|they can make more than one clone as well, to have an entire party of clones of one Ninja]].
* [[Expy]]: The [[Token Mini-Moe|youngest female Ninja]] looks just like one of the Ronin from the first two games.
* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]: All of the Scarves of Asskicking are brightly colored, and a few of the [[Palette Swap|Palette Swaps]] fall into this. Special mention must be made, however, of the Ronin [[Expy]], who wears a bright pink yukata with floral print and a neon violet scarf. Her [[Palette Swap]], meanwhile, wears a darker purple kimono... but with neon pink flower print and a neon yellow scarf, along with [[White-Haired Pretty Girl|silver-white hair]] and [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red eyes]].
* [[Doppelganger Spin]]
** [[Doppelganger Attack]]: The Bunshin ability, creates a copy which is fully capable of performing all the Ninja's moves.
Line 364:
* [[Combat Medic]]
* [[Expy]]: One of the Monks is basically a flat chested [[Ranma One Half|Ranma]] (thus also a [[Bifauxnen]]).
** And now that the bonus palette swaps are out, it's definitely a [[Shout -Out]]; her alt is in Ranma's boy colors.
** The class rep bears a striking resemblance to the female Monks from ''[[Dragon Quest III (Video Game)|Dragon Quest III]]'', from the black twin-tails to the green and orange color scheme.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Sported by the official class rep/first female choice, and combined with [[Rapunzel Hair]] -- they're very ''long'' pigtails.
Line 390:
 
'''Zodiacs''' are astrologers who have turned their knowledge of the secrets of the skies towards combat purposes; they can collect ether of the various elements and use it as a catalyst for their powerful star arts.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Seen on the violet, brown and pink-haired female designs, and to a lesser degree with the blonde, who straddles a dark amber and [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]].
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: Not as frilly as the Princesses' dresses, but the female Zodiac wear dark, yet elegant clothing, complete with long tights.
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]
Line 433:
 
'''Shoguns''' are one of two unlockable classes you gain around the middle of the game. Though they seem to be an [[Expy]] of the Ronin class from earlier games, they are only similar in the fact that they both use Katanas, and they both have multi-strike attacks.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: An [[Alternative Character Interpretation]] of the passive skill Kaishaku skill, which can activate and randomly [[Finish Him!|finish off anyone whose health drops too low]]... enemy or ally.
* [[Dual Wield]]: Second Sword, the unique ability of the Shogun in the game, which lets them equip two weapons at once, and attack twice in one turn. They can still equip a full shield, somehow.
* [[Everything's Better With Samurai]]
Line 442:
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: The palette swap of the elder shogun makes him look like a [[Star Wars|Sith Lord]], or perhaps [[Castlevania|Dracula]].
* [[Last Chance Hit Point]]: The Endure skill gives them a chance to survive a normally-fatal hit with one HP, once per battle.
* [[Mutually Exclusive Party Members]]: Due to the branching storyline, you can't unlock Shogun on the same playthrough as Yggdroid (though it is possible to get around this with a [[New Game Plus+]]).
* [[Shonen Hair]]: The younger male.
* [[The Power of the Sun]]: Shoguns have one attack that gains power if used during the day, as well as a counterpart that gains power during the night.
Line 455:
* [[The Faceless]]: All of the "male" choices. By comparison...
* [[FemBot]]: The "female" Yggdroids have very human faces and chests compared to their "male" counterparts.
* [[Mutually Exclusive Party Members]]: Due to the branching storyline, you can't unlock Yggdroid on the same playthrough as Shogun (though it is possible to get around this with a [[New Game Plus+]]).
* [[Rocket Punch]]: And Rocket Headbutt, and Rocket Jump. The Yggdroid loses their limbs and head after doing the attack (represented in-game by their limb being bound), meaning that if you use all three of these attacks, they are pretty much just a torso on the ground.
** [[Pulling Themselves Together]]: Necessary to use the ability to pull back the limbs after performing Rocket Punches.
Line 492:
* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: Scott often tells the guild about the behavior of certain monsters, then compares their actions to how ''humans'' act. Generally, he makes this comparison unfavorable for the humans.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Wolfram when relating Armoroad's [[Backstory|history and background]] in his tales. [[Lampshaded]] by his apologizing for speaking too long whenever the player stops talking to him.
* [[Non -Player Character]]/[[Guest Fighter]]: Some of them will help you in some Sea Quests, like Toma and Dezerte.
* [[Randomly Drops]]: Toma specializes in these, and will gladly share his secrets in exchange for a few drinks.
* [[Quest Giver]]
Line 507:
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Victoria's guild will almost always top off the chart in some side quest competitions if you don't.
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: Depending on which Sea Quest you're doing, you will always be accompanied by one, two, or three [[NP Cs]].
* [[Impossible Task]]: Kirikaze has been sent to try and complete these so her master can marry the princess Kaguya.<ref>This is a [[Shout -Out]] to the Japanese folklore of Princess Kaguya, whose beauty attracts many hopeful suitors whom she sends to nigh-impossible quests if they ever hope to marry her.</ref>
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Benjamin, one of Princess Victoria's devoted guards.
* [[Little Stowaway|Little Stowaways]]: Ace, Visir and Mau Mau tried this to jumpstart their adventure. Didn't work the way they planned; mainly, {{spoiler|they got ''caught'', and your first mission with them is helping them complete a public service to avoid getting thrown in jail}}.
Line 536:
* {{spoiler|[[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Just over 100 actually.}}
* [[Princesses Rule]]: Though the Senatus (particularly Flowdia) is seen holding all the ''real'' power, and Gutrune herself as little more than a figurehead, due in no small part to her [[Ill Girl|constant illness]].
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* {{spoiler|[[Transhuman Treachery]]}}: {{spoiler|She ate [[Our Mermaids Are Different|Deep One]] flesh in order to live long enough to see her brother again. It [[The Corruption|changed]] her; In Deep City's story route, it culminates in her [[One-Winged Angel|monstrous transformation]] after the player [[Big No|kills Kujura]].}}
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
Line 548:
* [[Dye Hard]]: Blond is not her natural hair color. She dyed it because Agata once [[Distracted By the Sexy|got attracted to a pin-up model]].
* {{spoiler|[[Sole Survivor]]}}: Prior to the events of the game, {{spoiler|she accompanied her father and his team into the Second Stratrum and witnessed their brutal deaths, barely escaping the same fate.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Trauma -Induced Amnesia]]}}: The reason for her nightmares.
* [[Tomboyish Ponytail]]
 
'''Ninja Agata''' is Hypatia's brash and overconfident partner. In his eagerness to uncover the labyrinth's secrets, he tries bulldozing his way through, leaving his guild behind.
* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]: Wears a bright orange vest and flaming purple scarf. Then there's his habit of running off half-cocked...
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]
* [[Pointless Band Aid]]: Right on his nose. However, given the X-shaped scar on his forehead, it might not be so pointless after all.
Line 582:
* {{spoiler|[[Replacement Goldfish]]}}: {{spoiler|Seyfried modeled her appearance on that of his sister.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Robot Girl]]}}
* [[Shout -Out]]: Her headphones/earmuffs are [[Shin Megami Tensei (Franchise)|Pyro Jack]].
* [[You Shall Not Pass]]
 
Line 596:
* [[Nice Hat]]: One of the female Swordmen sports a fancy bandana that boasts a diamond pattern above her bangs, lace across the top, and jeweled pendants hanging off both sides!
* [[Proper Tights With a Skirt]]
* [[Short HairwithHair With Tail]]: One of the women wears a bandana over this style, with a [[Tomboyish Ponytail]] in the back and [[Tomboyish Sidetails]].
* [[Weapon of Choice]]:
** [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]
Line 694:
* [[Petting Zoo People]]
* [[Proud Warrior Race]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: The white lion's [[Palette Swap]] makes him look like [[Digimon (Franchise)|Leomon]].
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Both males forego any sort of chest protection, unless you count the lion's mantle.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]:
