Soul Nomad & the World Eaters: Difference between revisions

''Soul Nomad'' is set upon the island continent of Prodesto, in the world of Haephnes. Two centuries ago, Prodesto was united under the hero Lord Median The Conqueror, and prosperity reigned for a time. Though Median's reign would be cut short by a pandemic that claimed both himself and his son, his daughter Layna soon emerged as a worthy successor to Prodesto's throne.

 

 

When all hope appeared lost, Layna appeared before Gig and defeated him in single combat. Without their master, the World Eaters fell dormant. However, the scars of their rampage remained etched into the land, and Prodesto continued to decay, with the birth rate falling and crops growing more poorly with each passing year. All the while, the frozen World Eaters towered over the populace, a constant remainder of the terrible power that could reawaken at any time.

* [[Badass Bystander]]: You can attack random townspeople. Most of them go down easily, but occasionally you'll find one stronger than the ''final boss''.

* [[Badass Family]]: Median, Layna {{spoiler|and Revya.}}

* [[Becoming the Mask]]: Implied, and later confirmed, if you're headed for the {{spoiler|Levin ending}}.

** {{spoiler|Also to Levin/Raksha in the Demon Path, when he decides that [[Good Feels Good]].}}

* [[Broken Aesop]]: Most outstanding one given by {{spoiler|Cuthbert to Agrippa in the Demon Path. When questioned why he's working with Revya and Gig when he doesn't seem like that horrible a person, Cuthbert launches into a sad, serious explanation of his brother's illness and his determination to find the cure at any cost. Almost seems like a [[Pet the Dog]] moment when he warns Agrippa not to make the same mistakes as him... then fails when he names the consequence of doing so as just going bald.}}

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Odie. The man is so pathetic, [[The Woobie|even the other characters pity him]].

** {{spoiler|Galahad in the Demon Path.}}

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]

{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Gig''': "...That's it, I am ROYALLY FREAKING PISSED! [[Full Metal Jacket|I'm gonna rip off your head and shit down your neck you overgrown asshole!!]] [...] NOW KICK THE SHIT OUT OF THAT BITCH!!"}}}}

* [[Combination Attack]]: You're able to use skills that will activate after your attack, involving, well, combos with other characters. This ranges from a targeted attack on the leader to something capable of clearing the entire board.

** Vitali. {{spoiler|He found out Kanan's [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|true gender]] this way. Then, in his ending, he opens up a restaurant and serves his customers...wearing a dress.}}

* [[Cutscene Incompetence]]: {{spoiler|'Dio'/Odie}} is treated as totally pathetic. Even his brief, dramatic triumph is shattered when {{spoiler|the real Dio reveals that the spell Odie successfully broke after much effort had been severely weakened by the passage of time}}. In actual gameplay he's quite effective. Justified by the fact that he wasn't that incompetent in the story either, he just thought he was.

* [[Don't Fear the Reaper]]: Vigilance.

* [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing]]: Gig is by far the most foul-mouthed, ill-tempered, and just plain sociopathic character to ever come out of a [[Nippon Ichi]] game {{spoiler|(Except maybe Demon Path Revya)}}. He's also more badass than any five Disgaea characters put together; he's like what [[Makai Kingdom|Overlord Zetta]] would be if he weren't [[Butt Monkey|stuck as a book]].

* [[Duel Boss]]: The {{spoiler|second Feinne}} fight is an odd example, you CAN summon others to the fight, but {{spoiler|as your level is boosted by 2000, and your foe is 1000, they do nothing more than take an attack for your main character.}}

** {{spoiler|If you use the item after you summon your allies, their level is boosted as well.}}

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: ''{{spoiler|'''Levin'''}}''.

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: Gig and {{spoiler|The Devourlord}}. Despite their names, the World Eaters are not.

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: When prompted {{spoiler|to choose a title in the Demon Path}}, choose the second choice. Enter {{spoiler|the voice of [[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness|Laharl]], which berates you for taking the title of an Overlord lightly and complains that he went through so much abuse for it}}, and disappears. Gig and Revya think they're hearing things, and [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|no ever speaks of it again]].

* [[One-Woman Wail]]: ''Crying for the Dark Sky'', Thuris' theme song. Bonus points in that the one woman wailing sounds just a little like Kanan's VA.

** Also present in the theme songs for Fienne and {{spoiler|Drazil}}.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Revya. "I am going to sleep 'cause everyone is stupid."

** {{spoiler|In the Demon Path, [[Complete Monster|Lobo]] is the sane one in your villainous team, having the common sense to betray you in the end. Thorndyke and Shauna, too. [[Sanity Slippage|Initially]].}}

* [[Our Angels Are Different]]: They look like midgets that carry shotguns and sound like kids. Lobo lamshades this {{spoiler|as he's holding Agrippa's grandma hostage with a knife to her throat.}}
