Makai Toushi SaGa: Difference between revisions

The tower at the center of the world is said to be connected to paradise. Long ago it was sealed off due to the hordes of monsters ushering from it. Dreaming of a life in paradise, many have challenged the secrets of the tower, but no one knows what became of them. A party of adventurers formed from humans, ESP-using mutants, and monsters now challenges The Tower. Their journey will take them through four worlds and pit them against Ashura and his four fiends.

----

* [[A Taste of Power]]: The King Sword can one-hit any enemy with a weakness, the King Armor provides +20 to defense and immunity to all elements, and the King Shield gives the whole party an elemental barrier. You get all of these ''in the first world'', likely within the first half hour of the game. Of course, you don't get to keep them - to get the Black Sphere and enter the Tower you have to return them to the Statue of Hero.

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Rocks. Contrary to popular belief, that is an accurate translation<ref>They're called いわ in the original Japanese version, which does translate to "rock"</ref>, and it's not a mistranslation of "rocket".

* [[Evil Chancellor]]: While the title is different, the disagreeable King Shield's steward definitely falls under this, as {{spoiler|you return just after he kills the king.}}

* [[Evil Tower of Ominousness]]: The Tower around which the game revolves.

* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: The places you visit in the World of Ruins are based on their real-world counterparts in Tokyo. The town in the southwest is implied to be Shibuya. The skyscraper district is Shinjuku, though only mentioned by name in the original Japanese version. Ameyoko is a traditional-style shopping street just as it is portrayed in game. Akiba, where you can find the ROM, is a famous electronics district. Their locations on the map are roughly the same as in [[Real Life]].

* [[For the Evulz]]: {{spoiler|Creator's Reason in the Remake}}

'''God''': You are quick to understand. There were many who could not become heroes and disappeared. I found it thrilling; the spectacle of tiny beings, burdened by their own mortal fate, desperately fighting to survive.]] }}

* [[Four Is Death]]: Ashura's four fiends, who are based on the Chinese [[The Four Gods|Ssu-Ling]].

* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]]: Tossing you into an unguarded jail without even bothering to strip you of your munitions (which by this point in the game should be rather copious) is par for the course, but extra bonus points for the fact that your daring jailbreak consists of nonchalantly bending the bars of your cell and strolling away as if nothing had happened.

* [[Harmful to Minors]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcg2_9VeQ1c You come across a handful of corpses which are identified as children.] Their father didn't fare much better. The contents of his [[Dead Man Writing|journal]] and the subsequent soundtrack stray into [[Nightmare Fuel]] territory, especially for a Nintendo game of the time.

** The last sentence is particularly hard-hitting, as {{spoiler|the Creator ''created'' Asura, the threat they're fleeing from.}}

* [[Healing Spring]]: Scattered throughout the tower; they'll restore your HP. Sometimes subverted; some of them are fake and will do nothing. Also, once you get to {{spoiler|Paradise}}, there is an orb there that will restore your HP.
