{{tropelist}}
* [[After the End]]: The game's setting is after a biological holocaust.
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: Zohar. Justified in that he/she changes gender depending on what form he/she is. Metatron is male, and Sandalphon is female.
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
* [[Grotesque Cute]]: The Specters, Silhouette [[Mooks]], have heads that look like dark green Jack-o'-Lanterns and [[Super Deformed]] proportions. Conversely, the Polly Peepers, their Mirage equivalents, have ugly faces hidden under blandly cutesy masks. Dynamis, the first of the [[Boss Battle|Guardian Angels]] you must face, looks like a giant fish with tentacles and a cute little girl's face (pictured above).
* [[Hollywood Science]]: Bizarre manglings of genetics and cybernetics are part of the game's plot.
* [[
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Shyna looks like a cute little blonde girl with goofy hair and strangely-colored eyes. She is also nicknamed the Messenger of Destruction for a reason.
* [[Man Behind the Man]]: {{spoiler|While Hal and Megido come from him, it's implied that Clod/Armageddon is now a part of Edo and is thus responsible for most of the world's problems. Restoring Edo, therefore, effectively makes him God.}}
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
* [[No Export for You]]: The [[Sega Saturn]] version, which is a shame since it's technically superior to the [[Play Station]] port (which has missing backgrounds, among other things).
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Marginal example. Ominous Wordless Singing (just "ah", basically) shows up in several music tracks, especially in the track used during Guardian Angel battles.
* [[One
* [[Puzzle Boss]]: Delia's cooking show, and the G.A. Gargantuan, both of which can quickly become [[That One Boss]] if one does not pay attention to cut-scenes.
* [[Recurring Boss]]: Zohar.
Line 47 ⟶ 46:
* [[Science Is Bad]]: Possibly. Genetic experiments on a human led to the world's current divided state, and [[Big Bad]] (one of them) Hal uses Edo as a base of operations.
* [[Shout Out]]: Aside from all the allusions to the Bible, Shyna's appearance is a [[Shout Out]] to the classical depiction of Hermes, with wings on her cap.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: The names of many of the characters and locations in the game are taken from the Bible, and from Christian and Jewish cosmology in general. Most of this was lost in [[Working Designs]]'s translation to English, either through discrepancies between Japanese and English phonology or through deliberate name changes: Har became Hal (which, admittedly, [[Woolseyism|may have added a reference]] to a certain famous AI); the seven attacks Shyna can use, named for the Seven Deadly Sins, became arbitrary strings of syllables; Moses became Bug; Delilah became Delia; Cherub became Geluve; etc.
* [[Summon Magic]]: Bug. ''SUMMON BATTLESHIP!!''
* [[The Unfought]]: {{spoiler|Despite his constant nagging and creation of Guardian Angels, Hal is never fought himself, except, indirectly, when facing Clod/Armageddon. Megido on the other hand...}}
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
* [[Why Am I Ticking]]: {{spoiler|Gargantuan and Shyna}}.
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Once Shyna is activated, all lifeforms with attributes will disappear even if she fails.
* [[Yin
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Several characters do this. {{spoiler|Zohar threatens Bug with this. Then Hal may or may not do this to Zohar him/her-self, depending on several choices you make. THEN, in another alternate turn of events, Hal's own daughter Geluve does this to him. AND THEN Megido says something similar to Shyna since she has restored Edo. AND FURTHER STILL Clod/Armageddon says this to Shyna before he attempts to kill her.}}
* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: Zohar attacks you at the Level Complete screen after level 3.
