Shadow Hearts: Difference between revisions

** Although both Rasputin and Gilbert both seem like [[Card-Carrying Villain|generic power-hungry villains]] at first, one of Rasputin's motives for trying to [[Take Over the World]] was that he believed that Europe's current government was incapable, and if Gilbert succeeded, nobody would have to be powerless.

** Kato in ''Covenant'' is the ultimate well-intentioned extremist.

* [[With Friends Like These...]]: Koudelka, Edward and Father O'Flaherty are ''constantly'' bickering with each other.

* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Sanity Points, a staple of the series. Each character starts battle with a number of Sanity Points that gradually trickle away with each turn. When they hit zero, your character goes temporarily insane and you [[The Berserker|lose control of them]]. A character who ends the battle in this state doesn't gain any experience points. Those with Fusion powers start with significantly more Sanity than anyone else, but the use of their powers [[Deadly Upgrade|drains their SP much faster]]. Interestingly, the trio of playable vampires in the series all have exceptionally high sanity, which makes sense since they'd be much less alarmed by monsters and supernatural elements.
