Fantasia Otome Game Series: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

''The Fantasia Trilogy'' is a Freeware Otome Game Series created by Memento Mori Games (led by Azurextwilight), consisting of three games - Fantasia: Realm of Thanos, Fantasia: Requiem of the Abyss and Fantasia: Memento of Grand Finale. The final game has yet to be completed, but a demo has been released.

In ''Fantasia: Realm of Thanos'', [[Player Character|Cheryl Nielsen]] (who you can actually [[Hello Insert Name Here|name whatever you want]]) , an [[Ordinary High School Student]], is given a very important mission by a [[Mysterious Waif|mysterious woman]] (whom she calls "White Lady"): to save [[Magical Land|Fantasia]] from the [[Sealed Evil in A Can|Demon Lord,]] [[White Haired Pretty Boy|Oswald]]. To do that, she must choose to save one of the four other boys who have suffered as much as she has and use [[The Power of Love]] to stop him. But, as you find out in the [[Canon]] path, it turns out {{spoiler|said Demon Lord [[I Just Want to Be Loved|just wanted to be loved]], and after Cheryl decides to show him some affection and understanding, he does a [[Heel Face Turn]], redeeming himself. They eventually [[Happily Married|end up together]] as the canon pairing.}}

The second game, ''Fantasia: Requiem of the Abyss'', deals with [[Big Bad|Thanos']] imminent plot to [[Take Over the World]], as the latent tension between the Kingdom of Seldrus and the Southern Empire of Valdrox threaten to start a new war. Now it is [[Player Character|Valen Leingold's]] (Cheryl and {{spoiler|Oswald's}} only daughter) duty to go on a journey, along with [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits|a colorful group of allies]], to, yet again, save Fantasia from Thanos' evil plans and stop [[The End of the World As We Know It]].

Line 15:

Then comes an interlude game, ''Fantasia: Before Requiem'', a non-interactive visual novel which provides intricate backstories of the characters of ''Requiem of the Abyss''. Though it is chronologically set before ''Requiem of the Abyss'', it is highly recommended that it be read after playing ''Requiem of the Abyss''.

''Fantasia: Memento of Grand Finale'' is set 200 years after ''Requiem of the Abyss''. The Guild, now called Pacifist Alliance Organization, is by far the most powerful force of Fantasia. Having stopped the meaningless struggle for resources between kingdoms a few years prior to the begining of the game, PAO now seizes control of the land, trying to keep the world's increasingly frail balance to the best of their abilities. In the midst of this, [[Player Character|Lenarche Seleniarius]], a girl who has [[Door ~~Stop~~ Baby|no idea who her parents are]], has been having [[Bad Dreams|vivid dreams]] of various major plot points of the previous games. She joins PAO to try to find out more about her past. Only a demo is out so far.

''Fantasia'' has a [[Fantasia Otome Game Series (Visual Novel)/WMG|WMG page]] and a [[Fantasia Otome Game Series (Visual Novel)/Characters|character page]], so ''please'' refrain from putting character specific tropes on this page.

Line 32:

** {{spoiler|unless you're on the true ending(s) in each game}}

{{quote| '''Thanos:''' So you think you've won... But don't forget. As long as Oswald and the Realm, hatred and pain still exists... They will complete my dreams...}}

* [[Author Appeal]]: So, how many of those [[Nice Guy]] characters are the official love interest? [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|None of them]], you say? Notably, even though Leon isn't the canon love interest in the first game, he gets almost as much development as Oswald [[~~Spot Light~~ Stealing Squad|outside of his own arc]].

Notably, even though Leon isn't the canon love interest in the first game, he gets almost as much development as Oswald [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|outside of his own arc]].

* [[Babies Ever After]]: Eventually, almost every couple from ''Realm of Thanos'' to ''Requiem of the Abyss''.

* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Cain and Valen are prime examples. Lenarche and Zephyr seem to be heading down this route, too.

Line 41:

* [[The Beautiful Elite]]: Mainly, the Leingolds.

* [[Big Bad]]: Oswald in Realm of Thanos and Thanos in Requiem of the Abyss.

* [[Big Screwed Up Family]]: The de'Renquolds.

* [[Cain and Abel]]: Oswald and Thanos, to some extent.

* [[Curse]]: Seems to be somewhat of a trend in the series, with Ian in the first game and Volg in the second one.

Line 65:

* [[Petting Zoo People]]: All of the Nomads have [[Little Bit Beastly|little furry ears.]]

* [[Ray Gun]]: The Rune Guns in the series are not used as actual guns, but guns used to amplify the user's magic. Thus, mages usually use them.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Oswald and Thanos.

* [[Reincarnation]]: Demons are born from the deep desire to accomplish something they couldn't when they were human. Until they can fulfull this goal, they are endlessly reborn.

* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: A side-effect of the writer not being a native English-speaker (probably).

Line 82:

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: The realm inhabitants (mostly the Leingolds) love their tropical fruits. Oswald loves pineapple, Cain really likes his mangoes, Shea is addicted to durians and Thanos has a soft spot for guava. Apart from them, Leon likes meat and Gil likes vegetables. Zephyr claims to like broccoli in an interview.

* [[Tragic Villain]]: All villains are, to some extent.

* [[Year Inside Hour Outside]]: Time in Fantasia passes a lot more slowly than in the real world. {{spoiler|While it has been 250 years since Cheryl has come to Fantasia, her ex-crush's son only has 16 years.}}

* [[Year Inside, Hour Outside]]: Time in Fantasia passes a lot more slowly than in the real world. {{spoiler|While it has been 250 years since Cheryl has come to Fantasia, her ex-crush's son only has 16 years.}}

* [[Visual Novel]]: Although Fantasia MoGF will actually be a Visual Novel/RPG hybrid.

** Also one of the few Ren'py visual novels to have a sequel, much less a trilogy.

* [[Blood From the Mouth]]: Oswald's defeated CG.

* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: If you're not on his path, at some point Oswald will control Leon or Gil to try to kill Cheryl. Of course, you can prevent that with the [[Power of Love]].

* [[Crash Into Hello]]: Happens at the very beginning of the game, when The White Lady bumps into Cheryl in the middle of the street. Though that instance seems to be [[Call to Adventure|intentional.]]

** Another instance happens a little bit later in the game, when Cheryl runs face-fist into Leon. He is [[Hair Trigger Temper|not pleased.]]

** Another instance happens a little bit later in the game, when Cheryl runs face-fist into Leon. He is [[Hair-Trigger Temper|not pleased.]]

* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: The {{spoiler|Blue Orb}}. ''Or is it?''

* [[Death Is Cheap]]: In the canon ending, {{spoiler|Oswald fades away after Cheryl manages to destroy the Realm, because it has a connection to him. One year later, He had an [[Unexplained Recovery]].}}

Line 103:

* [[I Can't Believe I'm Saying This]]: Oswald when he consoles Cheryl at the end of the game.

* [[Jumped At the Call]]: Cheryl is eager to go to Fantasia once The White Lady tells her about it. She needs very little convincing.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: [[Deadpan Snarker|Oswald]] hangs a lot of lampshades in his route. Given [[~~Cliche~~ Storm|the nature]] of these games (especially the first one), the sudden self-awareness is a bit out-of-place.

* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: If Cheryl decides to go to the Starry Night Festival with Gil, he insists this to everyone he meets. Calmly.

Line 124:

* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: Valen to Cain on his path.

* [[Aw Look They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Cain and Valen spend most of their time insulting each other. Cue "awwww" when he says that he loves her (on his path at least).

* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Cain and Valen spend most of their time insulting each other. Cue "awwww" when he says that he loves her (on his path at least).

* [[Big Fancy House]]: The Leingold manor.

Line 131:

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The Blue Orb.

* [[Curse Is Foiled Again]]: Valen and the others are eventually able to keep {{spoiler|Volg}} from [[Spontaneous Human Combustion|A Sploding]].

* [[Daddy's Girl]]: Cain constantly calls Valen this, as Oswald is quite... [[Overprotective Dad|'possessive']] of her.

* [[Deal With the Devil]]: Valen can choose to do this with Shea in hopes of being able to live with Cain forever. It doesn't end too well, given that Shea is working for Thanos.

* [[Dramatic Wind]]: When Valen casts the Requiem of the Abyss spell in the [[Final Battle]], her hair literally floats in the wind.

Line 145:

* [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]]: Valen [[Discussed Trope|discusses]] this trope once when talking to Shea.

{{quote| '''Valen:''' If I kill you, won't I be just like Thanos?}}

* [[Parents in Distress]]: Thanos tells Valen that Oswald and Cheryl are at his mercy. Have fun, little niece.
