[[Role-Playing Game]] produced by [[Sting Entertainment]]; Episode I of [[Dept. Heaven]] and chronologically the final story in [[The Verse]] thus far. Originally for the Wonderswan Color, remade for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and then for the PSP. Both the Gameboy Advance and PSP versions were published in the US by [[Atlus]].

----

{{tropelist}}

* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Ein, though occasionally he's a pervert on purpose (ironic as he's an angel, albeit a wingless one).

* [[Action Commands]]

* [[Amazing Technicolor Battlefield]]: Riviera is actually pictured in the trope example. The entire [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|second half of the last dungeon]] is a pretty trippy place.

* [[Arbitrary Headcount Limit]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in that there isn't room for more than three.

* [[The Archer]]: Also subverted: Lina is whimsical and immature. Fia, who uses bows as a secondary weapon, could be considered a straight example.

* [[Ascended Demon]]: Red Sage and Blue Fool, as long as you don't decide to be a dick and kill them.

* [[Attract Mode]]

* [[Broken Bird]]: {{spoiler|Lulu and Malice.}}

* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Cierra is the largest of the girls. If Ein failed to catch her from falling off the bridge in chapter 3, Serene will save her instead, then subtley comments her jealousy when noticing how large Cierra's boobs are. Also when climbing the goddess statue in chapter 4 once reaching the statues bust, the girls comment on how "big" the statue is. Ein will look in the "ditch" (which is actually the statue's cleavage) for some hidden items, which Serene and Lina get angry for. Oddly enough, Cierra and Fia don't berate Ein for the innocent action. The vampire girls also count, as they taunt Lina for being flat.

* [[Can't Drop the Hero]]: Nope, though Ein is rather useful, especially since he's the only one who can use Einharjar with its infinite usage. Run out of items in a fight without said Diviner and you're screwed.

* [[Celestial Bureaucracy]]: Asgard.

* [[The Chessmaster]]: As the series progresses, {{spoiler|Hector, one of the Seven Magi,}} is revealed to be this. In fact, {{spoiler|both [[Yggdra Union]] and [[Knights in The Nightmare]], which take place BEFORE this game, show Hector at the early stage of his plan manipulating events in those games to fulfill his scheme to become the true creator.}}

* [[Gay Option]]: Played with using Ledah and Reiche.

* [[Gender Flip]]: Ekukko and Malisuke are somewhat popular fanart subjects.

* [[Godiva Hair]]

* [[Gosh Hornet]]: The team disturbs a Kredna Beehive early in the story and somehow manages to forget the incident in time to anger some killer bees later in the game. Failing the quicktime sequence results in stings and HP reductions for the whole party, but humorous dialogue makes up for it.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|At the end of Chapter 6, when Malice attacks Ein, the already-injured Ledah throws himself in the way and takes the hit.}}

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Fia and Lina.

* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: the first encounter with the Black Dragon in Chapter 2.

** And the first fight with {{spoiler|Malice}} in the same chapter. And round one against Isher.

* [[Idiot Ball]]: Several occurences, all of them lampshaded in Didja Redo's Let's Play(Link below). Most blatantly, there is a scene triggered in the Mireno Cemetery in which the party is ambushed by two Vampire foes who try to trick the party into thinking Serene is one of them, when it's been said lots of time until this point that she's an Arc, and the party seems to be falling for it...

* [[I Found You Like This]]: Fia and Lina find the temporarily amnesiac Ein on the outskirts of town and take him to their home to recover. ...And then strip him so they can wash his clothes.
