Line 13:
The 2006 sequel, ''Siren 2'' takes place in an isolated island and features an entirely different cast, who must stop a pair of evil beings, sealed away long ago, from returning to this earth. One important change in the sequel is that conventional weapons are far more widespread, and one can even take them off of fallen enemies.
Recently, a remake that's a likely [[Shout
Has a [[Siren (Video Game)/Characters|character sheet]].
Line 33:
* [[A Storm Is Coming]]: Hanuda is engulfed in the middle of a storm late in the first game.
* [[Back Tracking]]: In the first ''Siren'', justified in that Hanuda is a small village and is isolated in a [[Dark World]]. Thus, most of the main cast will go through the exact same areas previously visited- albeit with different objectives in mind and often from another approach. Once missions are completed alternate objectives of varying difficulty are unlocked for them which when completed add connecting details to the cast's story and unlock paths that move the game closer to its true ending.
* [[Badass]] {{spoiler|Kyoya}}, by the end of the first game. In the second, there's Takeaki Misawa and {{spoiler|Yorito Nagai, post-[[Freak
* [[Barrier Warrior]]: Sort of. In the second game, evolved Yamibito can only be attacked from behind.
* [[Better to Die Than Be Killed|Better To Die Than Turn Into A Shibito]]: {{spoiler|Akira}} in the first game and his expy {{spoiler|Seigo}} in ''Blood Curse'' both stick their shotgun in their mouth and shoot themselves in an attempt to escape the shibito curse. {{spoiler|It doesn't work for either of them.}}
Line 152:
* [[Recurring Boss]]: {{spoiler|Tomoe and Tsuneo Ohta}} in the second game. Interesting in that, thanks to [[Time Travel]], you actually run in to them in three different forms: Human, Shibito, and then evolved Yamibito.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sociopath]] Shiro Miyata, who literally sacrifices himself to power the Shield Uryen and open up a gigantic Shibito Roach Motel sinkhole. The freed souls of the Onda sisters beckon him to join them before he plunges into the blazing sinkhole himself.}}
* [[Ret
* [[Reviving Enemy]]: The shibito.
* [[Ripple
* [[Secret Identity]]
* [[Shaky POV Cam]]: Sightjacking uses this as a very important gameplay tool.
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: Takeaki Misawa, in the second game {{spoiler|is haunted by visions of Harumi Yomoda, sole survivor of Hanuda, whom he rescued. He's apparently on some sort of anti-psychotic/anti-depression medication as a result. [[Sanity Slippage|It's not working too well.]]}}
* [[Shout
** Yoriko Anno's manga-esque sketch of Tamon Takeuchi in her class notes (Archive 033) suggests she's possibly a [[Shout
** ''Siren: Blood Curse'' is made in the style of a Western J-Horror remake, with a composite [[Expy]] cast that includes Americans who decide to pay that quaint little village of Hanuda a visit.
** The air raid siren's usage can be considered a [[Shout
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Kei Makino and Shiro Miyata are basically opposites. Kei's is a kind-hearted, but completely ineffectual guy, and Shiro's cold, but gets things done. Shiro envies Kei, due to his place within the community, {{spoiler|and we all know what can happen when [[Cain and Abel|brothers envy each other...]]}}
* [[Sinister Geometry]]: Late in the first game, Hanuda is slowly being converted into a hideous nest for {{spoiler|the Datatsushi and its Shibito servants.}}
** In the second game, the Yamibito apparently grow shrouds from their bodies that they use to cover up a building's windows and other places where light might get in.
* [[Sins of Our Fathers]]: The events of the first ''Siren'' are rooted well in the ancient past. {{spoiler|On the brink of death by starvation, the inhabitants of Hanuda resort to ''[[Squick|making a meal out of a still living Datatsushi]]''. Needless to say the big fella didn't care much for the gnoshing and his outraged and pained shriek mutates into the familiar siren wail while pronouncing a [[Fate Worse Than Death]] on the entire village in a Lovecraftian twist on [[As the Good Book Says...|The Last Supper.]]}}
** {{spoiler|Same thing happens to Kaiko in ''Blood Curse''}}
* [[Spirit Advisor]]: {{spoiler|Miyako Kajiro to Kyoya Suda at the end of the first game.}}
Line 207:
* [[Word of God]] (An interview with the director clarifies some points about the original game... but leaves some mysteries, and actually outright contradicts the game itself at one point. See again [[Mind Screw]])
* [[The Virus]]: {{spoiler|Spread by the red water in the first game. If it gets into your bloodstream, you become a Shibito, and the more of it that gets in, the faster you turn. So, as long as you don't drink it, breathe the vapors, soak in it, or let it into your wounds, you'll be fine...Uh-oh. Looks like rain...}}
** {{spoiler|The red water is actually a physical manifestation of the Datatsushi's curse upon the village of Hanuda, somewhat understandably resentful of the ancient inhabitants going way overboard with the whole [[As the Good Book Says...|Body of Christ]] communion.}}
* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]: {{spoiler|Once you have red water in your system, you can never leave the Netherworld, even if you don't become a Shibito.}}
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|After the ritual to restore Datatsushi proves successful, no more generations of Kajiros are needed, and so Ayako Kajiro gets roasted.}}
