Line 24:
* [[Crossover Cosmology]]: Apparently, [[God|the Lord]] rules over the Greek gods of the planets (some of whom are [[Gender Flip|Gender Flipped]]), and [[Satan|Lucifon]] is another of his servants. There's also the [[Original Generation]] Valkyria and the War God (and the latter has no relation to Mars, who is one of the star gods and the ruler of the constellation Aries).
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: The {{spoiler|young dragon guarding the temple desert}}. He'll fall in love with your daughter when defeated, who's reluctant about marrying such a young'un... or will run off with the Prince or Cube, leaving a very sad boy.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: It's possible in ''Princess Maker 2'' for your daughter to defeat the God of War. Possibly at a ridiculously young age. One [[Let's Play]] shows this to be [[Game Breaker|stupidly easy with a twinked defense]].
** One [[Let's Play]] shows this to be [[Game Breaker|stupidly easy with a twinked defense]].
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: The King, the local land lord and the old dragon in ''Princess Maker 2''.
* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: Implied by the title, and there are other [[Princess Tropes]] in these games.
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* [[Fetal Position Rebirth]]: Your daughter is sent to you from heaven this way, [[Naked on Arrival|naked]]. But it is done artistically, in good taste, and [[Hand or Object Underwear|no naughty bits are seen]].
* [[Fight Like a Card Player]]: In the SNES spin-off: ''Princess Maker: Legend of Another World''.
* [[Flat Earth Atheist]]: The [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Princess%20Maker%202/Update%2021/img-5.png alchemist] believes in magic and miracles, but believes that they can be explained through scientific principles. He's wrong: Heaven, Hell, morality and faith are tangible things in this world. Mechanically, he's one of the worse teachers, besides the General: he's cheap, but will lower faith a lot as soon as your daughter is promoted to Adept, which closes off some encounters.
** Oh, and your daughter can be one, too, even after meeting her God/Goddess.
* [[Food Porn]]: The food you can buy at the local restaurant, the birthday cakes and definitely the food from the cooking contest. Luscious!
* [[Fur Bikini]]: One of the outfits from the third game's ending. Also provides the page picture.
Line 38 ⟶ 36:
* [[Genki Girl]]: Wendy the Magician Girl, who is positively happy about the prospect of getting her ass kicked by your daughter.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: It's not always intuitive which stats will lead to which career choices, and some future romantic interests can only be met on very, very obscure sidequests.
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: One of the fighting teachers, Carl Fox, is blind. TheLector, otherthe Fencing teacher, has only one eye.
** And the one-eyed one also seems to be missing his right arm.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Your daughter grows up to be very pretty, and several male NPC's ''aside'' from the ones she can marry express interest in her. If her Charisma is very high, a tycoon will come frequently to ask for her hand in marriage; if in addition to it her Morals are low, a [[Dirty Old Man]] or other sleazy person will ask her to be his concubine (and if she accepts, her Morals will go even lower).
* [[The High Queen]]: The best and hardest ending is when your daughter becomes Queen Regent. She ''can'' be this by marriage, but it's not as cool. Not to mention one of the paths towards queenship by marriage is rather squicky, as it involves the girl ''marrying the old King''.
Line 46 ⟶ 43:
* [[Hot Witch]]: Your daughter grows into this if she's charismatic ''and'' a good magician.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Your daughter and the old dragon from the second game.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Some of the suitors your girl can marry are not 100% human (i.e. in ''Princess Maker 2'', there's [[Subordinate Excuse|your demon butler Cube]], a young dragon who is the girl's [[Dogged Nice Guy]] [[Love At First Punch|after she beats him in battle]], and [[Satan|Lucifon the King of Hell]]).
** [[Subordinate Excuse|Your demon butler Cube]] is a posible suitor in ''Princess Maker 2'', ''Princess Maker 4'' and ''Princess Maker 5''.
** A young dragon who is the girl's [[Dogged Nice Guy]] [[Love At First Punch|after she beats him in battle]], and [[Satan|Lucifon the King of Hell]] in ''Princess Maker 2''.
** ''Princess Maker 3'' has the Bunny prince, the Cat prince and the Demon Prince. A relationship with the Human prince also counts thanks to the daughter being actually a reincarnted fairy.
** From ''Princess Maker 4'', we have Baroa, the demon prince. And Lee, the dragon prince.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: In ''Princess Maker 2'', the Dragon Youth is sad but willing to break off the engagement with your daughter when he thinks that she doesn't love him, if you've betrothed her (against her will) to him. However, your daughter throws it back to his face and gives him "Stop being such a wimp" talk and agrees to marry him because he's so [[Adorkable|pathetic and cute]] that she doesn't have the heart to refuse him. If your daughter marries someone else, however, you get a rather sad [[The Stinger]] with him crying that he'll never love again. [[The Woobie|Poor kid]].
** If your daughter marries someone else, however, you get a rather sad [[The Stinger]] with him crying that he'll never love again. [[The Woobie|Poor kid]].
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Best shop-available weapon in the game, but others are much, MUCH better... obviously not available in shops.
* [[Leitmotif]]: The piano theme from ''Princess Maker 1'' always plays somewhere in the opening prologue and epilogues of the sequels.
* [[Lesbian Option]]: ''Princess Maker 4'' (the PC version) had four endings where your daughter could become romantically involved with her friends she made during the game.
* [[Let's Play]]: There's [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Princess%20Maker%202/ one] of the second game by SynthOrange. It consists of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Gendo Ikari]] Shinkicker raising a little girl according to the whims of [[Something Awful]]. Must be read to be believed.
Line 79:
** The Queen of the Land is another one. In fact, you can visit her only if you have ''very'' high protocol, and the King refers to her as the mother of the country.
* [[Psycho Lesbian]]: Being the only female bandit won't stop [[Dark Action Girl|Bloodrose Vanesta]] from [[Even the Girls Want Her|praising the daughter's beauty]] and then [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1spE3iqjGcw trying to rape her], if she loses their duel.
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: When the father defeats Lucifon in the intro to the second game, the king of hell argues that he was simply following God's orders to punish the decadence of the kingdom's inhabitants, including the king and his royal family, no less. In the words of Lucifon himself: "I killed only fools." The father has no counter to this point.
** God's orders to punish the decadence of the kingdom's inhabitants, including the king and his royal family, no less. In the words of Lucifon himself: "I killed only fools."
* [[Ready for Lovemaking]]: Courtesan endings.
* [[Relationship Values]]: A key part in determining endings.
Line 96 ⟶ 95:
* [[Useless Useful Non-Combat Abilities]]: [[Averted]] in the fifth game. Certain skills that no sane person will use in combat can be used to win combat. Apparently, your daughter can dance crazy, the troll boss flee in terror!
* [[Video Game Caring Potential]]: Pretty much the whole point.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: You can give her an early childhood full of achievement and promise, only to dash all her dreams by forcing her to work in a sleazy bar and starve her to death with a weight loss diet. [[What the Hell, Player?|...And get yelled at by everyone.]]
** [[What the Hell, Player?|...And get yelled at by everyone.]]
* [[Villainous Harlequin]]: Subverted with the second game's court jester. People ''think'' he is one, but he's actually a [[Trickster Mentor]] to your daughter.
* [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World]]: The fifth game. If you feel that doing both is overwhelming (it really builds up Stress), feel free to ditch either one. It's strongly implied that someone will save the magical world if your daughter doesn't.
Line 103 ⟶ 101:
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Subverted in the second game: your daughter kills monsters like [[Money Spider|it's her day job]] while adventuring, and it's one of the best ways to make money (though oddly, it does nothing for your daughters experience values), but even her just killing random monsters or even ''criminals'' like the kidnappers around the lake raises her sin, implying that [[Knight Templar|the rampant killing of living creatures, albeit hostile ones, is not an innocent act]] and one which can [[Fallen Hero|ultimately lead to a bad ending]].
* [[What the Hell, Player?]]: Screw up enough, and the game won't hold back trying to make you feel ashamed for what ends up happening to your daughter. The worst is if you manage to let her die, in which she bemoans her short life and gets you chewed out by your God.
* [[Wife Husbandry]]: One of the possible endings. Unlike other cases, most do generally frowned upon it in-game, but all will accept it due to there being no blood-relations. The thing that makes it less [[Squick|Squicky]] is, you can set your own age, so it's possible to marry your teenage daughter before you hit your 30s.
** The thing that makes it less [[Squick|Squicky]] is, you can set your own age, so it's possible to marry your teenage daughter before you hit your 30s.
* [[You Kill It, You Bought It]]: This is how the [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]] ending mentioned above ends up happening. Technically happens if your daughter defeats the War God, but it doesn't affect endings... instead, he gives her the best sword in the game.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: The princessdaugher in the third game has light purple hair. Marthia, one of the possible rivals, restaurant assistant and occasional dancer in the second game, has blue hair.
** Martha, one of the possible rivals, restaurant assistant, and occasional dancer in the second game.
* [[Wonder Child]]: Her origin depends on the game.
