Line 4:
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. [[
''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 [[
-----
Line 23:
* [[Costume Porn]]: About every other outfit is ultra fancy.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: {{spoiler|The Doomseeds turn out to be just nature's way of saying "quit being so hard on me!". However it is also revealed that Schuenzeit/Strass can control them at will}}.
* [[Design
* [[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
** [[The Big Bad]]: Schuenzeit
** [[The Dragon]]: Claire
Line 33:
** [[The Brute]]: Elgar {{spoiler|the Second}}
** [[The Dark Chick]]: {{spoiler|Melissa}}
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]]: Zephie
** [[The Lancer]]: Rue
Line 45:
* [[Green Aesop]]
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Everyone tries to get {{spoiler|Zephie}} to do one. Even ''she'' tries to pull the trigger.
* [[Hey
* [[Hero With Bad Publicity]]: Your party gets this treatment after {{spoiler|Schuenzeit convinces the populous that sacrificing Zephie to La Strada is the only way to stave off destruction, effectively leaving the Mare as your only real allies. The effect remains after you take down La Strada, though not as bad by the time three years have passed, as the people have noticed that they are still alive, despite Schuenzeit's claims}}.
* [[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.
Line 69:
* [[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
* [[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 97:
* [[Villains Never Lie]]: ''Everyone'' in Lanzheim has a serious case of gullibility. Even your own party members.
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: Several of the later bosses are capable of killing you in a few combos, though Belial is likely the first one that will give you trouble, as it spams heal when low on life, and the only way to finish it is to skill rush him (provided you've been upgrading them), or equip the [[Game Breaker|DLC weapons]].
* [[Well
** 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.}}
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Melissa. {{spoiler|After the Northern Forces raze her homeland and nearly kill her, she somehow believes everything they tell her about their reasons and ''joins'' them. When she finds out that they've been lying to her, she's polite enough to hand her notice into Claire first. Claire warns her that Bad Things will happen if she switches sides, pointing out Melissa's mysterious chest pains and how she miraculously became good as new after almost being killed by Elgar. Melissa ''ignores'' this, [[Guest Star Party Member|joins your party for about ten minutes]], dismisses her chest pains as "nothing" (when in the presence of the ''one'' friendly character with the experience to identify and fix the problem), and then is promptly turned into a Sentinel and forced to be put down}}.
** Raud. While he has several moments showing that he is a good tactican, his status as "adviser" leaves much to be desired. {{spoiler|Even though he finds out that Alex is in cahoots with Schuenzeit and is manipulating the course of the war, he waits until ''after'' the next battle to say anything to Zephie, by which time Alex and Schuenzeit have skipped town. This is despite the fact that he is ''present'' at said battle and doesn't even ''hint'' that anything is amiss when you talk to him. Then he decides to believe what the villains say and turns on Zephie}}.
** Schuenzeit has a particularly stupid moment before the game even starts. {{spoiler|Why was he so surprised that Juto fought so hard to save Zephie when ''he himself'' implanted Juto with the command that "you must not allow the princess to be killed", even going so far to add the condition, "this order supersedes all others"? You could argue that this single act is the root cause of everything that goes wrong with his plans}}.
* [[White
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Crocell considers General Zerglone one at first, being a nobleman who fights on the front lines with his troops similar to Zephie. After he meets him though, that illusion is dispelled and Crocell wants to roast him alive.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Celestine is ten years old. The reason she looks older is because the Mare have a shorter lifespan than humans, so their bodies mature faster.
