{{tropelist}}
* [[100% Completion]]:
** It'll take you a hell of a long time to do it, but it can be done. A more localized hundred percent completion focuses on fully analyzing demons you've got: it's how you get their Demon Sources (stuff that provides extra skills to demons you fuse) and makes them much cheaper to summon from the Compendium.
** If you can somehow map every tile in the game on one playthrough, the Dantalian on the top floor of Eridanus will give you a whopping ten of each stat-boosting Incense. Keep in mind this requires, among other things, deliberately falling into every pit trap and tripping every teleport hazard.
* [[Adaptive Armor]]: The DEMONICA suit, designed to continuously improve your performance. You don't gain levels. The suit does.
* [[Adult Fear]]: This game is designed to strike fear in those who are concerned about the Earth's many issues, from overpopulation to the dastardly results it has on the global environment.
Line 185 ⟶ 188:
*** There's even a Jack Frost Demonica.
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Every major boss gives one based on the theme of their sector. Your response to these lectures (including agreeing with them) heavily swing your alignment one way or the other.
* [[Harder Than Hard]]: ''Redux'' introduces the Impossible difficulty.
* [[Hate Plague]]: The Delphinus Parasite.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Ryan, after Captain Jack's death}}.
* [[Hell Gate]]: {{spoiler|Yeah, what did you ''think'' the Schwarzwelt was really gonna be, given what franchise this is}}?
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Zelenin is a dark version. If Asura's taunts are to be believed, she's deeply insecure about her good looks and feels as though her male colleagues only keep her around to ogle her.
* [[Herald]]: The name for the Seraph clan in this game.
* [[Heroic Mime]]: As per franchise standard. You also define his beliefs via decisions in-game.
Line 193 ⟶ 198:
* [[Holier Than Thou]]: Even mentioned by Jimenez.
* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: Poor Anthony...
* [[Horny Devils]]:
*
** And then there's the outright hypersexuals among them. Incubus also embodies this physically (q.v. his stinger and brow).
** Lampshaded by the game itself as {{spoiler|each and every time the crew member reveals a new crush, even the music stops to show the Protagonist's mute horror}}. [[It Got Worse|It gets worse]] for the crewmate when he tries to invoke tropes such as [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]] and [[Defrosting Ice Queen]], much to his intended's disgust.
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Zelenin is the team brain and is considered extremely attractive, and in fact, it's implied she worries her male colleagues see her as ''just'' "the eye candy".
* [[Hot Skitty-On-Wailord Action]]: The demon Myrmecolion is "the result of a lion and ant mating." Wrap your mind around that one.
* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: Many demons will be quick to point this out, and the Schwartzwelt itself is essentially a hell on Earth, with half of it being a mockery of modern human society and the other half being a tribute to the power of the demons. The more wild/bloodthirsty demons clearly state how awed they are by the bloodshed and destruction humans produce with a grudging respect/obvious distaste, though, of course, demons are just as big as hypocrites as humans are. It's still possible to convince some demons that mankind isn't so bad though. {{spoiler|Jack's Squad plays this trope straight; Negotiation with them in battle will only earn you insults, even though you're a human just like them, and they experiment on demons for profit and personal gain, not to mention how they kidnap and successfully fuse Jimenez with Bugaboo}}.
* [[Humans Are Warriors]]: Quite a few demons will end up being impressed by the strength the humans hold, particularly yours, as the main character. Also, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKhE56vOidI Morale] is a song mostly attributed to the humans, and it's a triumphant military theme.
* [[Humans Through Alien
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: It's pretty much a given that a fair number of the demons wandering around can't see humans as much more than tasty treats. Hariti ''used'' to be this way, but renounced it quite some time ago (although she ''does'' need human-flavored underworld pomegranates to temper withdrawal every now and again).
** Hariti's story in the game actually parallels her story in Buddhist mythology.
