Juto is your typical [[Identity Amnesia|amnesiac]] [[Idiot Hero]], carefree and without purpose in life. He spends his days lazing around his home of Highwind Island being prodded by his guardian Melissa and trying to overcome a crippling aversion to swords. His peaceful days come to an end when a war between two armies vying for control of the throne of Lanzheim crashes onto the shores of his home.
Former Prime Minister Schuenzeit has assassinated the queen and seized the throne for himself. [[Everything's Better
''[[Magna Carta 2]]'' is a [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel]] to the original ''[[Magna Carta]]'', getting rid of a lot of problems of the original while offering an epic -- if [[Cliché Storm|cliched]] -- story and a real-time battle system with no random encounters. Oh, and a ''lot'' of eye candy.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Rue and Melissa are the best examples, although Zephie is certainly take-charge.
* [[Action RPG]]
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The last-names of the main cast, as well as Rue's full name (Siara Rue Tessia), are all in the artbook. Only Zephie and Crocell have their last names mentioned in-game.
* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]]
* [[Animals Hate Him]]: Juto, in the third DLC Live Drama
Line 17:
* [[Artificial Human]]: {{spoiler|Juto and Elgar}}.
* [[Beard of Evil]]: Schuenzeit {{spoiler|and Alex}}.
* [[As Long
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|Strass, aka Schuenzeit, aka Srats, aka Taats, aka whatever the hell name he uses whenever he produces a duplicate of himself and uses it to start a war}}.
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: The DLC weapons (price: 400MS) are the most powerful weapons in the game, and you can equip them almost immediately. Worse still, they're ''required'' if you're trying to get all the achievements, including the ones for collecting every single weapon.
Line 26:
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Juto, but only when {{spoiler|he taps into his Sentinel powers}}.
* [[Fallen Hero]]: {{spoiler|Strass. He committed genocide on the Carta race, used their kan to power his kamond- and La Strada- and rewrote the history books to make himself the selfless hero. When this supply of kan ran low, he created a duplicate of himself named Taats and started a war so that he could gather ''more'' kan. Victorious, he did the same thing again 150 years later as Srats, and another 150 years after that as Schuenzeit}}.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Crocell and Melissa both have magenta hair, and have the personality to a tee. Moreso for Crocell, who uses lots of actual fire.
* [[Five-Bad Band]]:
** [[The Big Bad]]: Schuenzeit
Line 39:
** [[The Big Guy]]: Argo
** [[The Chick]]: Celestine
** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Juto.
* [[Game Breaker]]: The DLC weapons are the strongest weapons in the game, and can be used almost immediately.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Crocell has a ''ridiculous'' level of offensive ability, especially if you use his [[Good Old Fisticuffs|Knuckle]] style. This is off-set by his low defense and HP.
Line 46:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Everyone tries to get {{spoiler|Zephie}} to do one. Even ''she'' tries to pull the trigger.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The English Dub features a veritable who's who of American voice actors, including full cast-reunions of the American dubs of both ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' and ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi|The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]''.)
* [[Hero
* [[Hidden Elf Village]]: Cota Mare. Subverted in that while everyone knows about it, very few people go there since the Mare are wary of other races. And by wary, we mean that the welcoming party includes spears and paralysing incense.
* [[Human Resources]]: {{spoiler|This is how Sentinels are made. Life force is also used to power La Strada, which keeps Lanzheim prosperous}}.
* [[Idiot Plot]]: Most of the conflict in the game arises because everyone in Lanzheim (including the heroes) [[Villains Never Lie|believes what the villains say without question]], even after it becomes [[Devil in Plain Sight|bloody obvious how evil they are]].
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Celestine uses a bottle of incense to fight with in her "Aroma" fighting style.
** Zephie uses a fan. Not a battle fan like [[Mortal Kombat 2
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Celestine and Argo.
* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro
* [[Journey to
* [[Kill It
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Zephie.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Rue. Literally.
Line 67:
* [[Mask Power]]: Elgar.
* [[Our Elves Are Better]]: The Mare civilization: Humans with crystal ears that live half as long as normal humans but are all incredibly pretty and have awesome magical powers. And, of course, they hate normal humans.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Rue.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Not one member of your party has a known living parent. {{spoiler|Juto was created in a lab, Zephie's mother killed by Schuenzeit (no mention of her father), Crocell's parents were killed during the war, Celestine's mother died when she was a baby, while her father was captured by the Northern Forces and turned into a crazed Sentinel (though she does get to meet his ghost); Argo and Rue's parents are never mentioned, though are almost certainly no longer around}}.
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: Princess Rzephillda of course wears one, but other girls wear some fancy dresses.
* [[Paint It Black]]: Two races have evil counterparts that are identical, except black: the Nekojack for the Nekoneko, and the Blackhorn Trewa to the Bluemoon Trewa.
* [[Power Glows]]: Juto, when he taps into his {{spoiler|Sentinel}} powers. It reaches its apex when he uses Celestial Crusher, his ultimate attack.
Line 83:
* [[Terminally Dependent Society]]: Lanheim is dependant on La Strada, which provides the world with so much magical energy that they haven't needed to farm food for over one thousand years. {{spoiler|Two years after its destruction, people are getting on just fine with traditional farming methods}}.
* [[The Atoner]]: Notably Juto, though both Zephie and Argo show traits of this as well.
* [[The Napoleon]]: Crocell, although his in-game sprite never shows it. Juto and Celestine see it, though.
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Juto is Elgar}}. And it is SO. DRAWN. OUT.
* [[The Stinger]]: {{spoiler|It is implied that Juto spent the last three years getting better. Somehow}}.
Line 96:
* [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask]]: Zephie, although she's a princess.
* [[Villains Never Lie]]: ''Everyone'' in Lanzheim has a serious case of gullibility. Even your own party members.
* [["Wake
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Schuenzeit {{spoiler|aka Strass}} and his cronies want to keep Lanzheim prosperous, but seem to have no problem with committing countless atrocities to keep it that way.
** Raud becomes one at the end of the game {{spoiler|after his [[Face Heel Turn|betrayal.]] He believes that sacrificing Zephie to La Strada is wrong and the cycle should be broken, but too many people have died for the cycle to end now. His intention is to sacrifice Zephie, and break the cycle the next time around, with no war.}}
