Line 30:
** Just her? Most of the bosses in this game are like this, with some bordering on full-blown [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]].
* [[The Grim Reaper]]: A [[Skippable Boss]] appearing about two thirds of the way through the game.
* [[Grotesque Cute]]: The Specters, Silhouette [[Mooks]], have heads that look like dark green Jack-o'-Lanterns and [[Super
* [[Hollywood Science]]: Bizarre manglings of genetics and cybernetics are part of the game's plot.
* [[It's a Wonderful Failure]]
Line 45:
* [[Reset Button]]: The goal of Shyna's quest is essentially this. {{spoiler|The game allows you to choose not to do this in some endings, allowing the world to continue to exist in its current state.}}
* [[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
* [[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!!''
Line 51:
* [[This Was His True Form]]: Inverted {{spoiler|at Zohar's [[Dying As Yourself]] moment}}.
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: Even in the [[Working Designs]] version, the game has loads of Biblical references and symbolism.
* [[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-Yang Bomb]]: Shyna is a textbook example. Her body is actually split down the middle, Mirage on one side and Silhouette on the other. Zohar, another Protean, does it somewhat differently, with alternate Silhouette and Mirage appearances, which also happen to be different genders.
