For millennia, a being called the "Raigan" has been kept in suspended animation--... waiting for the appointed time at which he will gather the legendary four artifacts to bring about the Great Union and dawn to the people of the world known as Andel. But what exactly does the Great Union entail? No one seems to know, even the Raigan himself. What is it he is working towards? Exactly who benefits from the completion of the Great Union? And what, if anything, does any of this have to do with a far-away place called Lennus, and its heroes Chezni and Midia...?
 
''Lennus II'' is the sequel to ''Lennus''-- (better known overseas as ''[[Paladin's Quest]]--which''), which despite being popular in Japan, was not received very well elsewhere. Like many other late SNES-era RPGs, it was [[No Export for You|never localized]] despite doing well in its own country. Thanks to the power of [[Fan Translation]], however, English-speakers can now enjoy the game for themselves via emulation.
 
{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes featured in this game include: ===
* [[Action Girl]]: Nikita--a professional stripper--is an aspiring Action Girl who begs you to let her join the party. If you dismiss her, she'll be furious at you for taking away her chance to fight.
* [[All in a Row]]
* [[Arbitrary Headcount Limit]]: Four, as in the first game.
* [[Badass Cape]]: Myra's appears to be made of fire
* [[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points]]: The entire magic system is based around this, just like the first game.
* [[Character Development]]: Farus, in the form of his transforming from a [[Silent Protagonist]] at the beginning of the game to giving lengthy speeches by the finale.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: One of the dungeons is an almost perfect reproduction of the maze of Doth from the first game
* [[Cool Train]]: For a significant amount of time, your only means of travel in Eltz.
* [[Doomed Hometown]]: {{spoiler|The entire Underworld}}.
* [[Dub Name Change]]: English-language players will probably be baffled by Rich Jr.'s constant references to a mysterious "father" that they're apparently supposed to recognize, but who is never named outright. That's because for whatever reason, the name of Richter, the strongest mercenary in the original Lennus, was changed to "Mouth" in the localization of ''Paladin's Quest''.
* [[Floating Continent]]: The cities of Andel. {{spoiler|Except they're floating }} ''{{spoiler|underground}}''.
* [[Four Is Death]]: {{spoiler|The four artifacts}}; Granada's four Angels.
* [[Gainax Ending]]
* [[Good Morning, Crono]]: In a twist, the one waking the player up is {{spoiler|the [[Big Bad]].}}.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: A good number of mecenariesmercenaries. Recruiting Polock takes the cake for this, but other honorable mentions include recruiting Nikita, recruiting and powering up Myra, and finding a bride for Eudenus.
* [[Good Morning, Crono]]: In a twist, the one waking the player up is {{spoiler|the [[Big Bad]].}}
* [[It Got Worse]]: And worse, and worse, and...
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters|Loads and Loads of Mercenaries]]: Especially for an SNES game.
* [[Lost Forever]]: The Gold spirit {{spoiler|and everything else in the underworld, including any mercenaries you didn't recruit at least once}}.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|The Great Union}}.
* [[No Export for You]]
* [[Noob Cave]]: {{spoiler|The entire underworld}}.
* [[Optional Party Member]]: Nearly all of the mercenaries
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* [[Point of No Return]]: The {{spoiler|Great Union}}.
* [[Pointy Ears]]: A few of the races.
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: Almost too many to count. The are many, many NPCs who will gleefully take all of your money away--... [[Lost Forever|permanently.]].
* [[Shout-Out]]: The fan translation includeincludes ''[[Gravity's GravityRainbow]]''sRainbow and an evil plan involving a [[Star Wars|Death Star]].
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Justified for Nikita, who ''is'' a stripper. Most of the other female characters' clothing isn't particularly revealing, although Myra seems to only have her [[Leotard of Power]] and cape.
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: {{spoiler|Farus, twice.}}.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: The four angels... zo.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: In addition to {{spoiler|the destruction of Andel}}, it's quite easy to irritate and offend the people of Eltz.
** If you do ''anything'' before helping the people of Tol Terran-- (including taking other paths in the dungeon--), you will cause more of its inhabitants to die. The Tol Terrans know this, and will hate you for it.
* {{spoiler|[[World Sundering]]: Twice!}}!
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
