Line 29:
** It's notable that the inverse happens with Uni, prompting Nepgear to ask if she was "stuffing them".
* [[Boss Dissonance]]: Comes in both varieties. Some of the dungeons have random powerful [[Mooks]]. Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you're going for [[Rank Inflation|S Ranks]]), the bosses are so easy that it's an insult. This trope is especially prevalent in dungeons where you're supposed to find the boss of the dungeon and kill it. Other times the random [[Mooks]] are exceptionally weak while the boss is [[That One Boss|just ridiculously overpowered]]. [[It Got Worse|Worse yet are easy dungeons that end with a]] [[Sequential Boss]] fight; you've been [[Scratch Damage|whittled down]] just enough to put you out of reach of your [[Scrappy Mechanic|Item Skills]] but still low enough for one phase of the boss to [[Coup De Grace|finish the job instantly.]]
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Every goddess is this. Strangely, no one complains about it. Many of the human characters are this as well, to the point the few relatively sane ones stand out. Conversely, Vert tends to be the goddess with the most common sense when the other goddesses need a cool head, while IF and Compa serve this role on the human character side, though the others all get their turns to serve this role.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: In the first game, you can even name them! Can't add new spaces, though...
** Nisa is especially prone to this. She even does this for her regular attacks and lampshades it in her introductory cutscene when she did it as a warning to avoid hitting someone.
Line 38:
* [[Date Crepe]]: In one of the bonus artworks designed by the company, Noire and Neptune do this, as well as Blanc and Vert.
* [[Design It Yourself Equipment]]: You get to decide what image appears for some attacks in the first game - you get to supply them yourself.
** In the second game and the remakes, you can edit your character's outfits and the goddesses' processor units for some stat adjustments.
* [[Digital Piracy Is Evil|Digital Piracy Is EVIL!]]: Well, if your [[Big Bad]] is the personification of piracy (known as [[Take That|Arfoire]]), then this trope definitely applies.
** The DLC 5pb recruitment story in this first game takes this to [[Anvilicious]] levels.
Line 52:
** Even when the character doesn't have much of a rack, this happens. [[A-Cup Angst|IF even gets some of the "boing"]] after she falls from running into Neptune.
** In the gallery, moving the analog stick while viewing a picture causes this.
** Toned down in the Rebirth remakes, where the 3D portraits for characters were replaced with 2D ones.
* [[Gratuitous German]]: Quite a bit, actually, mostly with Blanc whose attacks have garbled names such as "Todlichschlag" (if they were going for "deadly strike", it would have to be "tödlicher Schlag"), but other characters also get in on it, like Neptune's and Nepgear's [[Combination Attack]] in the sequel, "Violet Schwestern" ("violet sisters" or "purple sisters" would be "Violette Schwestern").
* [[Gods Need Prayer Badly]]: Goddesses gain power with belief. {{spoiler|Arfoire uses this to gain power again by spreading false overlord rumors and harvesting their fear in the first game}}. In the second game, ASIC buys support by giving out modchips.
** This is actually a gameplay mechanic in the form of shares. More shares translates to more faith and power in a goddess. A certain amount is needed in order to recruit the goddess of each land. Slightly modified in the Rebirth games so that the shares aren't a game crippling mechanic if not utilized properly, but still serve a similar purpose.
* [[Immortal Immaturity]]: All of the goddesses tend to act this way, though somewhat justified since some of them have split personas when in HDD form.▼
▲* [[Immortal Immaturity]]: All of the goddesses tend to act this way.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: The worst offender has to be Compa who uses a ''syringe'' that shoots bullets! This is even [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by IF at one point in the first game, and Nepgear in the second.
* [[Fundamentally Female Cast]]: No guys except as unnamed, silhouetted NPCs.
** The sequel adds three [[Humongous Mecha]] male characters. They're villains, and not exactly humanoid. [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|How close to being humanoid they are seems to be in direct proportion to]] [[Anti-Villain|how sympathetic you could be to them and what they personify.]]
** The Rebirth games avert this somewhat more, with some males being voiced and some even having face portraits
* [[Informed Equipment]]: Averted. Aside from the rings and bracelets that serve as armor, every equipment change to your characters will show up. Heck, two of the equipment slots are dedicated just for outfits and accessories to customize them.
* [[Instrument of Murder]]: 5pb uses a guitar as her weapon. If she uses a special attack, she will play it. But in normal hits, she will smack the target with it.
Line 76 ⟶ 77:
* [[Obviously Evil]]: Arfoire, [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by Ganache in the first game.
* [[Only One Name]]: None of the characters in the game have a last name until mk2, where the oracles who aren't Histoire each get one.
* [[Our Fairies Are Different]]: Histoire, who is technically a [[Physical God]] in terms of power, yet a passive one in practice.
* [[Our Gods Are Greater]]: Uhh, duh...
* [[Party in My Pocket]]: Well, obviously! Then again, you can switch out the on-screen avatar, which is actually important in the first game because different characters have different functions on the map screen. For instance, Neptune pulls out a hammer to smash obstacles, Compa rings a bell to attract monsters, and IF uses her search mode to uncover invisible chests.
* This mechanic was watered down in the Rebirth remakes, so the only changes are the voices and the on map symbol attack weapon animations.
* [[Power Floats]]: Whenever Neptune, Blanc, Vert, and Noire (or their sisters) transform to their respective goddess forms, they always float in the air.
* [[Rainbow Pimp Gear]]: Generally averted with the outfits and accessories you normally get for the characters, but you make some truly outrageous processor combinations for the goddesses, though even the regular outfits can achieve this effect if you go out of your way to select clashing clothing and accessories.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: All of the goddesses.
* [[Rule 34]]: For an Idea Factory game, this is perhaps the most popular choice as ''[[Cross Edge]]'' and ''[[Record of Agarest War]]'', despite being much more ecchi, had little to no [[Rule 34]]. For example, there are official NSFW dakimakura covers of Noire. That's all we need to say.
Line 91 ⟶ 93:
* [[Twenty Bear Asses]]: Many of the quests involve this.
* [[Video Game Perversity Potential]]: The first game allows players to use pictures stored in their [[PlayStation 3]] units for "R/W disc" special attacks -- even pornographic ones. The second game allows Nepgear's CPU outfit to be customized via the Costume Canvas system, and "nude mods" have been made. [http://nisamerica.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=6154&start=0 Have fun.]
** The Steam versions of the Rebirth games can be modded, which includes the character appearances, so nude mods and slutty cosplay are possible to create.
* [[Visual Novel]]: With some [[Ecchi|H-game]] references.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: The four goddesses, even more so in the
** IF's relation to Neptune and Compa.
* [[Wooden Katanas Are Even Better]]: You can equip a wooden katana for Neptune which is pretty strong during the early parts of the first game.
