Line 47:
* [[Decoy Protagonist]]: Leonhadt is on all promotional artwork, everyone thought he is the main character. He's not, it's his great-great grandson, Rex.
* [[Degraded Boss]]: {{spoiler|The Dark Knight, at first he is like some kind of [[The Juggernaut]] for the party, but when they realizes that he's just a [[Giant Mook]] all along he becomes less threatening.}}
* [[Design -It -Yourself Equipment|Design It Yourself Descendant]]: Whoever the protagonist of that generation chooses as his wife, the next generation will have a different look.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Hmm... {{spoiler|Did you just kick an evil god's ass?}}
** {{spoiler|Not just one of 'em. ''Six of them!''}}
Line 62:
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: It took 5 generations but you finally did. Or [[Bittersweet Ending|did you?]]
* [[Easily Forgiven]]: {{spoiler|Melchior, oh God Melchior! First he ordered the annihilation of all elves and the syriums, then wage war to the other countries and he also forms an alliance with some evil monsters, and if you read his profile you'll know that he and his father is also the one that killed Leonhardt's family before the game even begins, and yet everyone seems to gone all forgiving him in the end! Oh, and do i already mention that he has no [[Freudian Excuse|sympathetic past]] and he [[My Master, Right or Wrong|just following his]] [[Brainwashed and Crazy|brainwashed king]]?}}
* [[Episode Zero: theThe Beginning]]
* [[Erotic Eating]]: Happens at least one in every game. Bananas, sausages and other things.
* [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger]]: {{spoiler|EVERY previous generations protagonists and heroines.}}
Line 143:
* [[Replacement Love Interest]]: Ellis denies it but it's pretty much obvious that she loves Rex because he looks like Leonhardt.
* [[School Swimsuit]]: Winfield forces Hildegard to wear one.
* [[Screwed by the Network]]: Why was the North American [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]] version not released on a retail disc? Sony America doesn't allow retail discs without English voice acting.
** Oddly averted with with the prequel, which still has no English voice option, but did get a disc release.
* [[Serious Business]]: Winfield (and later Thoma) takes peeking girls at hot spring too seriously, to the point he thinks it's worth dying for.
Line 220:
* [[Sex Sells]]: Averted oddly, considering this is released by the guys who made the first game look like an over-the-top [[Fan Service]] game.
* [[Shameless Self Promoter]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv0oMeeVnCI&feature=player_embedded Aksys Games'] response to the [[Catherine]] promo video.
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|MikeZ's infamous]] '''[[Memetic Mutation|REAL Soviet Damage!]]''' is one of the achievement/trophy names of this game.
** On that note, a number of achievement/trophy names are shout-outs. Among others, there's [[Star Wars|'It's a Trap!']], [[Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy|'Stay Classy, Kraltarla']], [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|'Nirvana...?']] (earned for creating a marionette; it is worth mentioning that Aksys localized both Agarest and [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]), [[300|'Fight in the Shade']], and [[Fist of the North Star|'You're Already Dead!']].
** There's a smithing item called the [[Harry Potter (novel)|Mirror of Erised]].
* [[Skinship Grope]]: Mimel does this to Sayane during the [[Hot Springs Episode]].
Line 232:
[[Agarest Senki 2]] (also known as [[Record of Agarest War 2]]) is a sequel in name only of [[Agarest Senki 1]]. It is set in a parallel world opposite the Agarest World of the first game. The story follow a man named Weiss who has an amnesia after he killed a god. He then encounters a woman named Eva who tells him that it was a bad idea, and that he now has to revive them with him and three women as a catalyst. The game then follows him and his descendants trying to revive said gods while finding out who [[Quest for Identity|Weiss really was.]]
 
Developed by [[Idea Factory]] and [[Compile Heart]], this game was released in Japan on November 18, 2010 for the [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]] console. Gameplay-wise, it looks very similar to ''[[Cross Edge]]'' except that it is now easier to play this game rather than a [[Guide Dang It]] battle system.
 
There's a confirmation [http://www.siliconera.com/2011/12/09/record-of-agarest-war-2-coming-overseas-care-of-aksys-in-summer-2012/ that the US and Europe are getting it.]
Line 267:
** [[Combination Attack]]: The bread and butter of the gameplay itself.
* [[Colorful Theme Naming]]: Weiss (white), Schwartz (black), Gray.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Oh [[Villain Decay|Summerill]], you never stood a chance. {{spoiler|And then [[Took a Level Inin Badass|he grinded again his levels]] and becomes the generation 3 final boss (by technicality, without the route split.)}}
* [[Dancing Theme]]: One of the first few trailers of this game has Fiona and Eva pull off an [[The Idolmaster (video game)|Idolmaster]]. And yes, you can obtain said trailer in the game itself.
* [[Devil but No God]]: {{spoiler|Thankfully our [[Satan Is Good]].}}
Line 359:
The story goes that the first generation protagonist will fail to kill the demon king so his three choices of wives will have to carry his soul to pass on to his descendants so that one day, they get to kill the demon king.
 
Oh and this game is for the [[PlayStation Portable]], a departure from the [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]].
