Line 4:
Oh boy. With a title like that, how are you supposed to describe ''this?''
''[[Infinite Undiscovery]]'' is an [[Eastern RPG|RPG]] for the Xbox 360 developed by [[Tri-Ace]] and published by [[Square Enix]].
The moon has been chained to the earth by the Order of Chains. Each chain causes the earth to wither around it, and unleashes monsters and natural disasters. Only a hero can break these chains.
The main character, Capell, is not that hero. ''[[Identical Stranger|He just looks like him]]''.
Line 15:
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Inverted with Capell. To thank Capell for saving Leif, Faina offers to do ''anything'' for him. Turns out that Capell just wants a future meal from her and it's ''Faina'' who's ready to do anything.
Line 27:
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: By the bucketloads.
* [[The Corruption]]: Late in the game, the party encounters a phenomenon called "Lunar Rain". While beautiful to look at, lunaglyph-bearing meages exposed to Lunar Rain find their bodies inundated with more lunar power than they can safely handle. If the condition is left unchecked, they become invisible, superpowerful monsters called Vermiforms, who kill everything they can, including you and the rest of your party. Only the unblessed can see them. Aristos, however, are immune to Lunar Rain's effects. This figures in the plot, and also becomes a gameplay element.
* [[Cursed
* [[Day Old Legend]]: Upgraded weapons have different backstories.
* [[Disc One Nuke]]: With proper abuse of the crafting system and some farming in the right areas for materials, you can end up with some endgame equipment before you get to the third chain.
Line 33:
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Kiriya.
* [[Dull Surprise]]: Caitlyn Glass and Laura Bailey are the only actors worth noting here. The rest of the cast have a bad tendency to either be completely flat-toned, or enunciate in really weird ways. The aristos take the cake, however. They aimed for reserved and wise, instead they sound more wooden and uninterested than the most incredibly dull puppet show.
** Though to be fair, it's stated in the game itself that becoming an aristo changes a person's personality, making them more analytical and emotionless than they previously were. This doesn't excuse some of the other voice acting, though.
* [[Everything's Worse
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: It doesn't matter how quickly you {{spoiler|reach Sapran when it comes under attack from Vermiforms. Faina, Leif, and most of the townsfolk will still die.}}
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Comes in two flavors:
Line 56:
* [[Improbable Hairstyle]]: Komachi's hair is tied by a bow...which also happens to be her hair.
** Actually, if you look, there's a hairclip keeping it in place. Doesn't explain how she maintains that style through dungeon after dungeon, though...
* [[Interface Screw]]: When you're [[Standard Status Effects|confused]], the controls get really wonky.
* [[Jerkass]]: Edward, who initially treats Capell like [[The Load]], and later as Lord Sigmund's [[Replacement Scrappy]], to the point of simply referring to him as "Impostor."
* [[Jerkass Gods]]: {{spoiler|Veros.}}
* [[Large Ham]]: Leonid's acting is... interesting, but the real winner here is Edward. He is always yelling and overreacting to everything, {{spoiler|especially when he's a vermiform. Just listen to those [[Evil Laugh|shrieking laughs.]].}} Weirdly enough, he gets less hammy after his [[Character Development]] kicks in.
** But honestly, do you expect a character voiced by [[David Vincent]] to be anything ''but'' a ham?
* [[Leaked Experience]]
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: To the point where some dungeons require up to three parties to complete.
Line 70:
* [[Noob Cave]]: Graad Prison.
* [[Not So Different]]: Aya realizes this between her and Saranda. {{spoiler|They both would support the ones they loved. Saranda to Leonid as much as Aya to Capell.}}
* [[Obvious Beta]]: Most of the game feels like a tech demo of stuff that would later show up in [[
** On the other hand, the game doesn't suffer from the myriad problems that most betas tend to have. It does feel pretty rushed, though.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Capell, at the start of the game, wants to know exactly ''why'' he's being dragged along to save the world, and why are these [[Bratty Half-Pint|kids]] following him around?
* [[Playing
* [[Rebellious Princess]]: Aya, the first member of the Liberation Force Capell meets, is revealed to be the princess of the emirate of Fayel.
* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: Aya and Capell, just before the final dungeon. In a nice touch, Aya's status page actually reflects this.
* [[The Stoic]]: Aristos in general, most notably Savio, Touma, and Seraphina. Seraphina especially, who speaks as though she were a robot (i.e. always putting logic first, and using percentages and probability to describe things).
* [[Take Up My Sword]]: Lord Sigmund finds himself unable to break chains, so he has Capell do it. At the next chain, {{spoiler|he is killed protecting Capell.}}
* [[Theme Naming]]: For special attacks. For example, all of Aya's battle skills are named after birds (Sparrowrain, Peacock Plume, Cardinal Cloak, etc.), most of Edward's are water-related (Turbulent Swing, Twinstream, Rising Current, etc.), Komachi's are named after trees (Ash, Hornbeam, Crowfoot), Vic's are insect-related (Sliding Stinger, Dragon Flyer, Mantiscissors) and Capell's are music-related (Slashing [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Canon]], Symphonic Blade, Eternal Refrain). The only person who really doesn't seem to follow this is Touma.
* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: No matter what {{spoiler|they have done to save the world,}} as soon as he finds out that {{spoiler|[[Broken Masquerade|Capell isn't really Sigmund]]}} the Emir {{spoiler|has the Liberation Force arrested.}} The fact that {{spoiler|Capell also reveals himself to be an [[Fantastic Racism|Unblessed]]}} doesn't help.
** Edward gets like this a bit as well, refusing to accept Capell in any way after {{spoiler|Sigmund's death and Capell assuming his identity}}, at least until his [[Break the Haughty]] moment.
