Line 39:
* [[Arbitrary Headcount Limit]]: 4 in the active party and 4 in the reserve party. Supposedly, this is because it's impractical to travel with a larger number. In Part 2, the reserve party limit is raised to 6 and later to 8.
** It's even more arbitrary when one considers that some party members are multiple people, e.g. Nefertiti Lamias (four sisters). They even appear as multiple characters outside of the battle screen.
* [[Armor Is Useless]]:
* [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]]: Seemingly what the Ascension effect inflicts on its target, though apparently they can be brought back.
* [[The Assimilator]]:
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: How monster society functions. It's one of the reasons why Alice is unable to hold on to her throne once she's shrunk.
* [[A Taste of Power]]: {{spoiler|If you're defeated by the Armored Berserker - [[Hopeless Boss Fight|and you almost certainly will be]] - then Nero will step in, and you control him for the rest of the fight. He's incredibly powerful, with a number of skills that you can't otherwise access legitimately}}.▼
* [[Attack Reflector]]: The Reflect buff, and party members may also have an innate chance of reflecting magical attacks. However, some attacks can't be reflected at all.
* [[Attack Of The 50 Foot Whatever]]: Some monsters like the Sandworm Girl are absolutely enormous. This doesn't stop them from being recruitable.
* [[Auto Revive]]: Some abilities, like
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Morrigan. It's especially noticeable in comparison to her more level-headed siblings.
* [[An Axe To Grind]]: A weapon type. It has low accuracy, but it ignores the target's defense completely.
Line 62 ⟶ 60:
* [[Bare Fisted Monk]]: The Martial Artist job and its variants.
* [[The Battle Didn't Count]]: The fights against Morrigan and Astaroth. Justified by them being far more powerful than the party, and holding back.
* [[Beef Gate]]:
*
** The Gold region has a set of ruins that can be entered prior to the fourth Tartarus, inhabited by extremely powerful chimeras. You're meant to explore this only after finishing the second chapter.
* [[The Berserker]]: The Berserker job. It can also be achieved through the use of the Berserk status effect, which causes the target to do nothing but attack.
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|The Black Alice of the original universe. After being defeated by Luka and Alice, her dying self was summoned into the Paradox universe due to an experiment performed by the scientists of Remina. Thanks to the White Rabbit drug in her body, she was able to absorb the holy and dark energy used in the experiment and ascend to become a god of Chaos}}.
Line 78:
* [[Body Horror]]: The Apoptosis monsters, which are either combinations of biological and mechanical parts, or have extreme deformities, or both.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Several companions, such as Aisha the Bear Girl and Mina the Minotaur Girl.
* [[Bonus Dungeon]]: The Labyrinth of Chaos, released when some players found the game too easy. It has two components, the (confusingly-named) Labyrinth of Chaos and the Trials of Chaos. The Labyrinth consists of an infinite number of floors,
* [[Boss Battle]]:
** [[Boss Banter]]: You can talk with bosses just like regular enemies. While it isn't necessary to recruit them, raising their Affinity does reward you with items once it's high enough.
** [[Bonus Boss]]: Several, including Nanabi, Sphinx, Alice XVI and Reaper. The superbosses in the Labyrinth of Chaos also count, and can include bosses that otherwise don't appear in the first
** [[Contractual Boss Immunity]]: Averted. While bosses tend to be more status-resistant than normal enemies, almost none have a blanket immunity to all status ailments. Slow is almost universally effective.▼
** [[Boss in Mooks Clothing]]: The angels in the alternate Iliasville, Archangel Ranael and Principality Nagael. Despite being random encounters, they are as powerful as bonus bosses, and can wipe out the entire party in a single hit. Thankfully, they can be avoided simply by staying on the path.▼
▲** [[Contractual Boss Immunity]]: Averted. While bosses tend to be more status-resistant than normal enemies, almost none have a blanket immunity to all status ailments.
** [[Cowardly Boss]]: A non-gameplay example. Justice Kaiser has confronted Eva several times, only for the latter to flee immediately every time.
** [[Dual Boss]]: Chrome and Frederika fight the party simultaneously.
** [[Flunky Boss]]: The very first boss, a Bunny Slime, fights alongside two Slime Girls.
** [[Skippable Boss]]: Many quests, and by extension their bosses, don't have to be completed to advance the story.
▲
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: All ranged weapons. A NPC at the first Tartarus even explicitly states that
* [[Breath Weapon]]: Many monsters have such an attack. They include the standard fire breath, as well as ice, poison and other types.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Several characters suffer this at the hands of the Lilith Sisters, which causes all sorts of trouble.
Line 94:
* [[Broken Bridge]]:
** As in the original game, the sea route between the Ilias and Sentora Continents is blocked by unnatural storms, requiring you to obtain a magical artifact to get through. Though unlike the original, {{spoiler|the storm is caused by Morrigan instead of Alma Elma}}.
** Somewhat more literally, a tunnel on the Sentora continent has collapsed, preventing access to the northern half until the second chapter.
* [[But Thou Must]]:
** You cannot avoid choosing between Alice and Ilias at the start of the game. They won't let Luka leave the inn before he decides.
** Several party members will force their way into the party regardless of the player's decision, or won't even give you the opportunity to choose. While Sonya and Nuruko can seemingly be avoided, they're forced into the party by the White Rabbit near the end of Part 2.
** Averted with the recruitment of most other party members. It's not necessary to complete the sidequests that lead to recruitment (and even if you do them, you can generally turn down their offers). Likewise, enemies that ask to join the party can be turned down
* [[Came Back Strong]]: Adramelech revives in a stronger state each time she's defeated. {{spoiler|The alternate La Croix}} managed to kill her several times in the past but is eventually defeated.
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: With more than a hundred possible companions, this is inevitable. However, thanks to reserve party members receiving [[Leaked Experience]] with no risk, they can catch up quite quickly.
* [[Can't Drop the Hero]]: Luka can never be removed from the party, although he can be in either the active or reserve party.
* [[Cap]]: Jobs and Races cap at level 10, while normal level is capped at 30 (in Part 1) and later 60 (in Part 2). However, enemies in the Labyrinth of Chaos have stats and movesets that easily exceed this
* [[Casino Park]]: Grandoll, complete with gambling minigames.
* [[Cast from Hit Points]]:
* [[Cast of Snowflakes]]: Even though there's well over a hundred party members in Part 1 alone, they all still have distinct personalities. It's also reflected in gameplay, as every character has a unique trait that affects their stats, skills, abilities and/or what equipment they use.
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: The game starts off with a bright and colorful aesthetic, cute monsters and light-hearted quests. Then you enter the first Tartarus...
* [[Chainmail Bikini]]: All over the place. The sprites for many monsters (notably the Devil Fighter) lack serious armor, and there's even an armor type called Skimpy.
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]:
* [[Chef of Iron]]: The various cooking jobs. They can make foods with a range of effects, from buffing party members to damaging enemies. They can also fight on the front lines, but aren't very good at it.
* [[Chest Monster]]: The Mimic subtype of enemies, considered to be part of the Ghost race. The original Mimics copy literal chests, but later on are the Honey Pots, which pretend to be giant pots. They are much more powerful than the other enemies in their locations, and can act twice each turn.
* [[Childhood Friend]]: Sonya, to Luka.
* [[Clock Roaches]]: As it turns out,
* [[Collection Sidequest]]: Many examples. One example is the Small Medal sidequest, where you collect the medals from treasures, quest rewards or defeating Mimic-type enemies, and trade them for valuable items.
* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Scylla have these, and they allow them to attack multiple times per turn.
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: The Gold Volcano dungeon is a huge offender. Standing on magma damages the party, but standing on a tile right next to magma is perfectly safe.
Line 121:
* [[Counter Attack]]: When attacked, a character has a chance of launching a counterattack, which can be improved with certain pieces of equipment.
* [[Cover-Blowing Superpower]]: Both Nero and Neris seem to be wary of using their true power. {{spoiler|This is because their true forms have the purple skin and white hair of the Monster Lords, as well as angelic energy wings. It's one of the many indications of their parentage}}.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]:
** Neris' backstory has her inflicting these on many powerful groups, including Lady's Village, the Arachne race, and Plansect Forest, all in the space of a single day.
** The game's [[Hopeless Boss Fight|Hopeless Boss Fight]] tend to follow the same format: you input commands for your party members, then the boss KOs everyone in a single hit before you can act. If you're lucky, some of your party members will actually get an action in first and/or some will survive the attack.
* [[Cut and Paste Environments]]: The interiors of the Tartarus consist of fragments of various other areas, all jumbled together with no apparent pattern.
** Similarly, each floor of the Labyrinth of Chaos is a copy of an existing area on the world map.
Line 138:
* [[Desperation Attack]]: Numerous abilities trigger when the user is at critical HP. One example is Papi's trait, which causes her to become Berserk and act twice per turn.
* [[The Dev Team Thinks Of Everything]]: You can avoid recruiting Sonya at the beginning of the game by not talking to the village chief. If you do this, most of her lines will be said by Luka instead.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]:
* [[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]: {{spoiler|Micaela, who is encountered on the brink of death at the summit of Mt Amos}}.
* [[Difficulty Levels]]: There are seven: Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, Hell and Paradox. To give some perspective, on Very Easy it's possible to defeat all enemies (even bosses) with normal attacks. Party members automatically regenerate HP, while enemies take damage proportional to the damage they inflict on the party. On Paradox? The Level 1 Slime Girl, the first enemy in the game, is
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: Adrammalek, a high-level Apoptosis, complete with her unique theme music.
* [[Disc One Final Dungeon]]: The Administrator's Tower.
Line 162:
* [[Elemental Embodiment]]: The Four Great Spirits. Modeled after Paracelsus' elementals, they represent the four classical elements of wind, earth, water and fire. Additionally, the Goddess Ilias and the Dark Goddess Alipheese the First are elementals of light and darkness, respectively.
* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: There are twelve elements: fire, ice, lightning, water, wind, earth, holy, dark, physical, pleasure, bio and sonic.
** The first three are classified as the magical elements, the second three as the natural elements. Some enemies are aligned with one or the other, such that magic-aligned characters are resistant to fire, ice and lightning and weak to water, wind and earth; and vice versa for nature-aligned characters.
** Holy and dark are clear [[Infinity+1 Element|Infinity+1 Elements]], with most monsters being weak to holy while angels and a few monsters are weak to dark. These two elements are used much more rarely than the others, but they cannot be evaded or reflected by their target.
** The physical element is, naturally, used by physical attacks.
** The pleasure element is a defining aspect of the series, being inflicted by sexual acts. Succubi are both good at using and resisting this element.
** Bio and sonic are associated with poison and sound-based attacks, respectively.
Line 188:
* [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You]]: {{spoiler|Black Alice, thanks to becoming the goddess of Chaos,}} is capable of interacting with people via recordings of herself. When the White Rabbit shows the party one such recording, {{spoiler|Black Alice}} notices them and calls them rude for not greeting her.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Harpies, Fairies, Elves and Succubi are all this, to some extent. Certain races or jobs can make them more durable.
* [[Frankenstein's Monster]]: Frederika, a giant zombie made from multiple corpses by Chrome. Unlike the original game (but like the original Frankenstein's Monster), she developed a new personality.
* [[Funbag Airbag]]: In her sidequest, Rami literally throws herself off the summits of mountains. Thanks to this trope, she survives with no injury.
Line 209:
** You can't get to Hellgondo without awakening the Garuda Girl to carry you there. It's [[Hand Wave|Hand Waved]] that only the strongest of flying monsters can fly there, but you can recruit high-ranking flying monsters like the Queen Harpy or a Wyvern Girl, yet even they are seemingly up to the task. And of course, you can't use a Harpy Wing to get there, either.
* Late in Chapter 2, Sonya is concerned about holding the party back due to being a normal human. She says this even if she has been given the Worm Summoner or Vampire races, which all humans can access after you've completed certain sidequests.
* [[Genius Bonus]]: In real-life, apoptosis is the self-destruction of cells, and one of its purposes is to fight infection by destroying infected cells. In the game, Apoptosis is
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Chrome. A master of necromancy, spiritualism and puppeteering, who leaves notes discussing the secret passages of her base lying around, for anyone to find.
* [[Giant Hands of Doom]]: Possessed by several monsters, like Page 257 and Bandersnatch.
Line 219:
* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]]: The guards to the Sabasa palace become this, along with the rest of the army, once Sara takes over. The party can simply push past them with no trouble.
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]:
**
** Alma Elma joins the party temporarily at two points, {{spoiler|to defeat Granberia in the Coliseum and for the infiltration of Gold Fort. She can be permanently recruited after clearing Part 2, in an optional sidequest.}}
* [[Hammerspace]]: As typical for an RPG. You can have up to 99 of any particular item.
Line 247:
** The Mitra Sealed Castle contains many empty pedestals. According to Alice/Ilias, these once held weapons of incredible power that were employed during the Great Monster Wars, but they were then sealed in the castle, supposedly on these pedestals. None of these weapons can be obtained yet, but their names can be found on the pedestals.
* [[Invisible To Normals]]: The door to Hades in Ilias Temple is visible (and accessible) only to Luka. When he uses it, other people only perceive him as staring at a blank spot of wall.
* [[Item Crafting]]: In the main game, you can improve equipment by combining it with various items in predefined recipes. In the Labyrinth of Chaos, you can combine any two pieces of equipment (provided that they are of the same type and level) to obtain a stronger piece that retains the passive abilities of both.
* [[Jiggle Physics]]: Occur in some characters' sprites, like Rami's.
* [[Job System]]: Set up very similar to the one used by [[Dragon Quest VI]].
* [[Joke Character]]: The
** [[Lethal Joke Character]]: But they're not necessarily useless. Pyhar, for example, gains a bonus to evasion and magic evasion from her trait. Combined with the innately high evasion of harpies, and another buff to boost it further, she can achieve 100% evasion and avoid all attacks.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: As is standard for the series, all enemy monsters will rape Luka upon defeating the party, and many will outright kill him. Some of them explicitly have histories of crimes against humans, the Roper being one example. This doesn't prevent them from being recruited, at which point there's no way to punish them.
Line 264:
* [[Leaked Experience]]: Party members in reserve receive just as much EXP and Job EXP as those in the active party. This can be exploited, by giving them equipment or skills that boost EXP and/or Job EXP while giving a penalty (e.g. the Bondage Rope accessory, which doubles EXP but gives the user the Blind, Silence and Paralyzed ailments). The reserve members will level up quickly without even having to fight.
* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: Gold Volcano. Most of the ground is literal magma, though it doesn't damage the party any more than walking on a poison swamp does.
* [[Sure, Let's Go with That]]: During the Alice route, after fighting Eden, she realizes that Luka is part-angel and (upon learning that he's the son of Lucifina) thinks that he wants to visit the Ilias Temple Ruins to pray. Alice tells Luka to act like this is the case, since they need Eden to lower her barrier on the ruins.▼
* [[Level-Locked Loot]]: There are several different ranks of chests. All but the lowest rank require some level of thief skill to open.
* [[Level Up At Intimacy 5]]: There are two types of this. Party members can be given gifts to raise their Affection, which (at certain thresholds) causes them to give gifts in return and unlocks their Request scenes. The other type is "Battle Fucking", an in-universe sport based around enduring sexual acts, which rewards the player with an item if Luka has enough HP to win.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: All angels are light-aligned, but that doesn't mean that they're necessarily good.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Even more than the original. There are literally hundreds of possible companions, and trailers claim that there'll be 500 in the full game. And that's not considering the hundreds upon hundreds of NPCs...
* [[Logical Weakness]]: The elemental weaknesses of each race tend to be this. For example, Land-Dwellers and Sea-Dwellers are weak to lightning, as they are covered in conductive slime.
Line 275 ⟶ 273:
* [[Ludd Was Right]]: The inhabitants of the aptly named Luddite Village believe this. They eschew the advanced technology that the rest of the world uses, believing it to be heretical, even as the majority of the faith accepts it.
== M-R ==
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Promestein, full stop.
* [[Madness Mantra]]: In the Remina accessed through the first Tartarus, the people you encounter will at first talk normally, but devolve into gibberish. {{spoiler|One of them transforms into an Apoptosis and attacks}}.
* [[The Mafia]]:
* [[Magical Girl]]: An in-universe profession, banned by the Monster Lord because it runs on the [[Power of Hate]].
* [[Magic Knight]]: The Magiknight job.
Line 299 ⟶ 297:
* [[Mutually Exclusive Powerups]]: Both Alice and Ilias, and Lily and Lucia, offer various skills and abilities. Thanks to the above restriction, these are mutually exclusive. However, the Holy skills taught by Ilias can be learnt later when {{spoiler|Luka unlocks the Angel race}}. Similarly, the Cursed Sword skills taught by Alice can be learnt from a job available in Part 2.
* [[Necromancer]]: An intermediate job, whose skills are [[Cast from Hit Points]]. Also the professions of Chrome, La Croix and Kagetsumugi.
* [[Nephilim]]:
* [[No Hero Discount]]: By the end of the first chapter, you are literally fighting to save {{spoiler|the entire multiverse from destruction}}. By the end of the second, you're renowned for {{spoiler|stopping the Grangold war and the monster invasions}}. Don't expect any shop to care about this. Not even the shops run by your own party members.
* [[No Name Given]]: Averted. Most of the monster girls from the first game now have names, though this only applies to the ones that join your party.
Line 314 ⟶ 312:
* [[One-Time Dungeon]]:
** The Administrator's Tower, due to {{spoiler|the entire universe it's located in being consumed by Apoptosis}}. Partially subverted, as you can enter the ruins {{spoiler|of the version in the Paradox universe}} and encounter the same enemies, so nothing there is potentially [[Lost Forever]].
** Grangold Castle
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: All over the place. Monsters change from human form to their original monstrous forms, while worm summoners change their limbs into masses of worms and tentacles.
* [[Organ Drops]]: Somewhat disturbingly, these are also included in the game, even though all enemies are sentient. Apparently, the organs (which include things like tails) are all shed naturally.
* [[Our Angels Are Different]]: The angels of the setting cover a wide range of forms, from the standard "woman with wings and halo" (Micaela, Lucifina), to forms that would be indistinguishable from the average monster (though they still retain the halo and wings). Formerly, they were invincible to any attack not employing holy energy. However, thanks to the angels being expelled from Heaven and the atmosphere becoming saturated with holy energy, this trait has been lost.
* [[Our Monsters Are Different]]: As in the previous game, they're an all-female group of beings which depend on human men to reproduce. They're split into a wide range of different races:
** [[Beast Folk]]: The Beast race. They're strong and fast, though not very durable, and are weak to pleasure.
Line 340 ⟶ 338:
* [[Out with a Bang]]: Any monster (or angel) can kill their partner through sex, either by [[Life Drinker|draining their partner of life force]] (most examples), or by [[I'm A Humanitarian|eating their partner]]. Notably, a surprisingly large number of companions will do this to Luka in their low Affection request scenes (and a few don't have any non-lethal scenes).
* [[The Paladin]]: An intermediate job. Arguably, the Holy Knight is this as well.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Black Alice's disguise as Alicetroemeria consists of wearing a different outfit
* [[Parental Incest]]:
** While it's not explicitly spelled out, {{spoiler|Neris' crush on Luka}} falls into this. Though, technically, the latter is merely an alternate-universe version of her father.
Line 371 ⟶ 369:
** Enemies have Affinity, which is raised by using the Talk command, and is especially increased by giving them gifts. The higher the value, the greater the chance that they will ask to join the party at the end of the battle. Additionally, enemies with high Affinity may randomly offer gifts to the party.
** Companions have Affection, which is raised by giving gifts of food. Picking the right type of food result in significant increases, but the wrong type will cause Affection to decrease. At high Affection, companions will reward Luka with items and accept Requests (sexual encounters).
* [[Replay Value]]: Immense. At the beginning of the game you have to choose between Ilias and Alice, resulting in two routes that diverge significantly. There are literally hundreds of recruitable characters, and every single one has unique dialogue and a unique trait, encouraging you to play through the game multiple times with different characters. The diversity of jobs and races available gives countless options for customization: an all-warrior or all-mage party can be just as viable as a balanced one, and each of these will provide a different experience. Finally, there's a wide range of difficulty levels, so once you've played through a few times and gotten the hang of the system, you can try out the higher difficulties to remain challenged.
* [[Revive Kills Zombie]]: Anything with the Zombie status, though it also works the other way around: poison heals them.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: All of the royals seen in the setting are competent as both leaders and fighters (the latter demonstrated by them all being recruitable companions). Depending on how you interpret the Job system, you can make any character this by assigning them the Noble or King jobs.
Line 391 ⟶ 390:
** Then there's the succession crisis among the monsters, with three candidates vying for the position of Monster Lord. {{spoiler|Alice VIII is shown to be plotting world domination again, this time with an army of legendary monsters. Alice XVII is heavily implied to be Luka's and Alice XVI's daughter from another world, and is apparently trying to help the Luka of this world follow the correct timeline. But almost nothing has been revealed about the third candidate, Alice XV}}.
** And while it might not seem as important as the previous events, the Mafia plotline is this as well. Their influence is subtle, but it's clearly extensive, as shown by the fact that the Sabasa King had no choice but to tolerate them. The mystery is why {{spoiler|Lazarus and Merlin}} are part of the group.
** At the end of Part 2, many of the above hooks are resolved. However, it's now revealed that {{spoiler|Sonya is actually an XX-class Apoptosis}}. On the Ilias route, {{spoiler|the original Sonya is dead (but Luka resolves to somehow bring her back) while a copy has taken her place, and no one else remembers these events}}.
* [[Sequence Breaking]]: A seemingly-small example, but with far-reaching effects, is not recruiting Sonya. You're supposed to talk to the village chief in Ilias Village, after which Sonya will force herself into the party. If you attempt to leave the village without doing this, the game will even remind you to talk to the chief. However, if you continue on regardless, then you can avoid recruiting Sonya. This inexplicably causes Alice/Ilias to not give you the Pocket Monster Lord Castle, preventing you from recruiting most companions (a few, such as the spirits, will still be recruited). Strangely enough, this was apparently intentional, as noted under [[The Dev Team Thinks Of Everything]]. However, towards the end of Part 2, the White Rabbit will intervene and force Sonya into the party if she wasn't recruited.
* [[Serial Escalation]]: The overall plot of the game, compared to the original. ''[[Monster Girl Quest]]'' had the entire world at stake, but Paradox has {{spoiler|the entire multiverse}} at risk of destruction.
Line 418 ⟶ 417:
* [[Summon Magic]]: The Summoner job and Summoning skill type.
** Luka has access to unique summoning skills, being able to summon the spirits to grant a range of buffs.
* [[Super Mode]]: The Transform skill from the Hero of Justice
* [[Super-Powered Robot Meter Maids]]: Inverted with Hild. She initially seems to be a combat robot, but she has unnecessarily advanced emotions and even the ability to reproduce.
▲* [[Sure, Let's Go with That]]: During the Alice route, after fighting Eden, she realizes that Luka is part-angel and (upon learning that he's the son of Lucifina) thinks that he wants to visit the Ilias Temple Ruins to pray. Alice tells Luka to act like this is the case, since they need Eden to lower her barrier on the ruins.
* [[Swallowed Whole]]: Anything unfortunate enough to fall victim to Predation.
* [[Taken for Granite]]: The Petrify status ailment.
* [[Take Your Time]]: A war raging on the horizon, between the four main human nations? A crisis of succession among the monsters? {{spoiler|The multiverse being threatened by the spread of Chaos}}? All of it will wait for you, as you fight battle after battle trying to recruit every monster.
* [[Talking the Monster to Death]]: The basic Talk skill merely allows you to raise enemy Affinity. However, more advanced variants are available, which can inflict status ailments or even literally [[One-Hit Kill]] enemies.
* [[A Taste of Power]]:
▲**
* [[Teleport Interdiction]]: The Gold region is covered by a field that prevents space magic, including that used by the Pocket Monster Lord Castle. Nero eventually gives you a charm that cancels the effect of the field.▼
** Alma Elma temporarily joins the party on two occasions in Part 2. As a Level 60 Queen Succubus, she's vastly above any other character you'll have at the time (barring extreme amounts of grinding).
▲* [[Teleport Interdiction]]: The Gold region is covered by a field that prevents space magic, including that used by the Pocket Monster Lord Castle and Harpy Wings. Nero eventually gives you a charm that cancels the effect of the field.
* [[Temporal Paradox]]: One of these seems to be responsible for the plot, given that Ilias seems to remember things that only happened in the original game that didn't happen partially or completely in this game world.
* [[The Many Deaths of You]]: As in the original, losing to any enemy in Paradox results in a rape scene. Enemies in the Labyrinth don't trigger these, though.
Line 443 ⟶ 445:
** Subverted and parodied with Nero, whose red-and-black, fashionably-ripped outfit is commented on by more than one person. And yet he apparently thought it was perfectly normal.
* [[Vampiric Draining]]: Vampires have access to skills that can drain HP, MP and/or SP.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: In Iliasburg, you have the option of killing Amira when you talk to her. She comes back to life once you move to another area, so you can do this as many times as you want.
* [[War Arc]]:
** The ongoing war between Grangold and the other three human nations, which becomes the main driver of the plot in Part 2.
