Line 19:
* [[Crossover Cosmology]]: Downplayed. But in addition to Buddhism and [[Japanese Mythology]], there are also elements of [[Celtic Mythology]] and Western European mysticism in relation to alchemy.
* [[Distant Prologue]]: Sort of. The game's opening starts off in 1598, two years before the main plot begins.
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: The second game features character creation but the main character's parents (a Japanese historical figure and a Japanese looking yokai) are revealed very early on, and {{spoiler|knowledge of history indicates the main character would be 28 years old (at the start)}} while characters find nothing unusual about the appearance of the main character's human form {{spoiler|especially since they're twin to another historical figure}}, so clearly you aren't ''supposed' to be a blue skinned blonde with red eyes or a black man.
* [[Gender Flip]]: In the second game {{spoiler|Yoshitatsu, as the player character's identical twin, will be female if the player character is. Can also be a [[Race Lift]], but that falls under the about [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]].}}
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: A secretive cabal led by Edward Kelley {{spoiler|and Sir John Dee}} has not only been using Amrita to win England's battles against the Spanish, but has also sets its sights on Japan ostensibly for [[Elizabeth I (miniseries)|Queen]] and Country. With Kelley trying to further stoke the flames of war there.
* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]]: In addition to the use of English and Japanese, there's also Irish Gaelic.
Line 25 ⟶ 26:
** [[Historical Hero Upgrade]]: While William did indeed become one Japan's few Western samurai and an adviser to Tokugawa Ieyasu in real life, he definitely wasn't locked up in the Tower of London nor fought demons.
** [[Historical Villain Upgrade]]: Although the real Edward Kelley {{spoiler|and John Dee}} practiced alchemy, in-game he {{spoiler|and his master}} have mystic powers. {{spoiler|Averted however with Oda Nobunaga, who despite his reputation is portrayed in a nobler, more solemn light.}}
* [[Interface Spoiler]]: In the second game's character gallery {{spoiler|Yoshitatsu's entry is unlocked, showing the warlord masked and armored, long before actually appearing physically in the plot. If the player made their character particularly distinctive, details like an unusual skin tone will be visible through the eye slit. The same is true, to slightly a lesser degree, if the player character is female as the English version of the profile changes pronouns rather than opt for [[Gender-Neutral Writing]].}}
* [[Jidai Geki]]: Much of the first game is set at the tail end of the Sengoku period, during Tokugawa's rise to power. The second is set earlier, during Nobunaga's rise.
* [[JRPG]]
