Line 41:
* [[Anime Hair]]: Kaguya's [[Rapunzel Hair]] and Xiaomu's multiple ponytails.
** In addition, Xiaomu's ponytails are actual tails.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Though none of the characters are very far along [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|the scale]], whenever anyone suggests doing anything excessive, it gets lampshaded.
* [[Another Dimension]]
* [[Armed Legs]]: Aschen, who has shotguns built into hers.
Line 76:
**** That's ''assuming'' they translate it, which is <s>highly probable but not guaranteed</s> pretty much impossible now that the 3DS is coming out and Atlus has had bad experiences releasing their translations at the end of a system's lifecycle. Looks like a job for AGPT... [[Attention Defecit Creator Disorder|one of]] ''many''. Even then, the easiest way seems to be to assume those who care will have played or heard of ''Original Generations'' and ''Original Generation Gaiden''; those that haven't can look it up
***** That also presses the assumption that everyone who wants to play it (if it gets translated) has easy access to play the import ''Original Generations'' and ''Original Generation Gaiden''.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Katze. Dear lord, Katze.
* [[Cute Witch]]: Kyon Feulion.
* [[Cute Little Fangs]], Suzuka and obviously Koma.
Line 87:
** Neige actually [[Genre Savvy|catches on to the implications]]. One of her lines after being called to stand by John's side is:
{{quote| '''Neige''': "Daddy, can I have a new handbag?"}}
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] ("Maybe it's a [[Naughty Tentacles|tentacle]], molesting the planet itself.")
* [[Double Entendre|Double Entendres]] (Followed by triple and quadruple entendres, and sometimes just plain innuendo and flat-out propositioning. Any dialogue ''will'' feature one eventually)
* [[Dual -Wielding]] (KOS-MOS with her signature dual [[Gatling Good|gatling guns]] and Reiji with his [[Playing With Fire|fire-based]] and [[Shock and Awe|lightning-enhanced]] [[Katanas Are Just Better|katanas]] ''and'' pistol and shotgun. Xiaomu also uses two pistols, and Haken will sometimes fire his [[Hand Cannon]] and assault rifle together)
** Subverted somewhat: despite having two katanas, Reiji will rarely use both of them at the same time (mostly because he carries his weapon rack in one hand). Saya has ''three'' katanas, but will never use two at any given moment, due to her style focusing on iaijutsu.
*** Played more straight in EXCEED for Reiji, where several of his moves use both katanas in rapid succession and one of them has him rapidly dual-wield them.
Line 98:
* [[Easy Amnesia]] ({{spoiler|Axel and Alfimi will be hit with amnesia upon arrival in the Endless Frontier. In fact, Axel will shift into his ''[[Fan Nickname|Ahoseru]]'' persona from ''[[Super Robot Wars Advance]]''}})
* [[Enemy Mine]]/[[Heel Face Turn]]: EXCEED's made it public knowledge that {{spoiler|almost ''all'' villains from the original become supporting characters in the sequel: Saya even performs the [[Combination Attack]] ''Jyuu no Kata Kiwame'' with Reiji and Xiaomu.}})
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Princesses]] (And, of course, it's [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]]:)
{{quote| '''Aschen''': "It appears there are more princesses than countries in this world."}}
* [[Everythings Cuter With Kittens]] (Koma's store/battle theme.)
Line 108:
** Newcomer Aledy's too blatant enough to be Folka's long-lost brother. The new mecha are a Fairlion-type and an Ialdabaoth-type
*** So wait: an expy (Aledy) of an expy (Folka) of an expy ([[Fist of the North Star|Kenshiro]]) of the original ([[Bruce Lee]])? Gentlemen, we have reached critical mass.
** Both [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] of each game also qualify: the first game's [[Big Bad]] is based off of Alfimi's Persoenlichkeit: its first form is without the arms and the second is with. EXCEED's villain manages to be {{spoiler|W05, the predecessor of Wodan Ymir from ''Super Robot Wars Original Generation 2''. When he goes [[One -Winged Angel]], he basically becomes Wodan's [[Humongous Mecha]] Thrudgelmir}}.
* [[Extremity Extremist]] (Katze)
* [[Fan Service]], [[Fetish Fuel]] (Unleaded on both accounts. This series is pretty much making up for the lowered amount of both in the more recent SRW games. Also lampshaded mercilessly)
Line 138:
** Technically, they're really party poppers and confetti.
* [[Hand Cannon]] (Haken's Longtomb Special)
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]] (You'll be hearing a lot from [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]], [[Yukana]], [[Kaori Shimizu]], [[Mamiko Noto]], [[Kazuhiko Inoue]], [[Omi Minami]], [[Ryotaro Okiayu]], [[Tetsu Inada]], [[Sayaka Ohara]] and [[Ai Orikasa]])
** EXCEED brings us [[Tomokazu Seki]] and [[Nana Mizuki]] as the new characters. Basically, [[G Gundam|Domon Kasshu]] and [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Fate Testarossa]] are teaming up
*** [[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Colette Brunel]] and [[Tales of Destiny (Video Game)|Stahn Aileron]] team up, go! ''Sono mina no moto, kono kegareta tamashii- '' '''SATSUGEKI-''' ''-ni sabaki no hikari o furasetamae!'' '''BUKOUKEN!!!''' ''JUDGMENT!!'' '''ORENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENE!!!! ORRDYAA!!!''' .... ''Huh?''
Line 145:
* [[Heroic BSOD]] (Averted: Haken's upset when he learns he's {{spoiler|W00}}, but he knows screaming about it won't help)
* [[Hot Scientist]] (Marion and Dorothy)
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]] (Shuten and Suzuka)
* [[Humongous Mecha]] (Partially subverted; the [[Mecha]] present are actually 2-3 meters tall, around 1/10 of their actual size. The cast even remarks they'd be crushed by a 20-meter [[Super Robot]], not that they're aware most of those regularly clear double that height)
* [[Hurricane of Puns]] (The characters make lots them)
Line 171:
** Especially notable when watching the gameplay videos revealing some really crazy chains of support combos. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb-EStpXdJQ This one], for instance, doesn't use any of the villains and leaves out several of the main heroes (both old and new entrants), but it's still the Energizer Bunny combo: [[Holy Shit Quotient|it just keeps going and going and...]]
*** By the end of EXCEED, the main party has 15 females, 6 males, [[Camp Gay|Kat]][[And Zoidberg|ze]] and 6 mecha. Done perfectly, it's possible to chain attacks lasting 12 support attacks (4 Assists plus another 4 from a specific Spirit Command and 4 Support Attacks), 20 attacks from the vanguards and an Overdrive from the last attacker.
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]] (Only for enemies in the first game: they can guard and can use [[Scrappy Mechanic|Forced Evasion]]. EXCEED gives the player the option to also use the latter)
* [[Magic Skirt]] (Kaguya and Neige)
* [[Male Gaze]] (Neige notices where Aledy's looking at upon meeting Kaguya and proceeds to berate him)
* [[May -December Romance]] (When Xiaomu learns Neige's 117 years-old and Aledy's 17, she teasingly consoles her that it'll somehow work out. Might also apply to Xiaomu and Reiji, if the wind blows that way)
* [[Military Mashup Machine]] (Zeit Krokodil and Giant Marquis)
* [[Meido]] (Neige wears the outfit, but ultimately averts it. Xiaomu plays it straight in her new Overdrive for EXCEED, effectively turning her into a [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]])
Line 184:
* Ninja (of the [[Razor Wire]] and flame explosion type)
* [[Noble Demon]] (Ezel)
* [[NoblewomansNoblewoman's Laugh]] (Suzuka bursts into a rather impressive one at random moments, mostly while mowing down targets with her [[A Mech By Any Other Name|karakuri's]] [[More Dakka|numerous]] [[Gatling Good|gatling guns]]. Also applicable to Neige in EXCEED)
* [[Non -Mammal Mammaries]] (Dodged in the case of Anne the Mermaid, who is actually part Orca.)
* [[Not Quite Dead|Not Quite Deactivated]] ({{spoiler|Cardia "W06" Barissia is still operational in EXCEED}})
* [[Of Corsets Sexy]] (Dorothy)
Line 197:
* [[Pirate Girl]] (Anne)
* [[Portal Network]] (The Cross Gates, {{spoiler|until the defeat of the first game's [[Big Bad]]}})
* [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner]] (Haken lives for these)
{{quote| '''Haken''': "Welcome to Lost Herencia. Let me run the welcome wagon right over your ugly ass!"}}
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] (The whole cast counts as this)
Line 229:
* [[Spam Attack]] (Not only are some attacks just repeated hits with the same weapon, but the player can force this by editing the command roster for the 5 moves a character can use with 100% of their command bar)
* [[Spank the Cutie]] (Reiji to Xiaomu, whenever she says or does something stupid. Do note this was implied originally in ''[[Namco X Capcom (Video Game)|Namco X Capcom]]'', but ''Endless Frontier'' brings it out fully)
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]
* [[Split Personality]] (Normally, Aschen's the resident [[Deadpan Snarker]] [[Straight Man|straight woman]] to Haken's playfulness, but once that [[Power Limiter]] is removed or she overheats, she takes a level in [[Genki Girl|cheerfulness and hyperactivity]] that would make Excellen proud)
** KOS-MOS also has this, though it's much more subtle: she goes from sharp monotone to a soft, normal voice that's triggered randomly during the final hits of her Overdrive. Some of her pre-/post-battle quotes uses this tone of voice, too.
Line 249:
** It's more of a cross between [[Human Sacrifice]] and [[Powered By a Forsaken Child]], otherwise {{spoiler|Kaguya's mother Ui wouldn't have been able to pull off the same thing her daughter was prevented from doing}}
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Haken's Longtomb Special, although played more straight in EXCEED, when Haken can use it to hit multiple enemies as part of the Phantom Hold'em Frontier MAX.
* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?]]: This game's utterly laced with [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|ninjas, pirates, robots]], [[Anime]]/cultural [[Shout Out|Shout Outs]], [[Gag Boobs]], flat chested girls, familiar [[Expy|expies]], over-the-top [[Gainaxing]], loads of [[Fetish Fuel]]-inducing moments ([[Naughty Tentacles|"Maybe it's a giant tentacle, molesting the planet itself?"]]), [[Crowning Music of Awesome|DISCO music]] and massive amounts of [[Innocent Innuendo|Innocent Innuendos]] and [[Double Entendre|Double Entendres]] in ''[[Up to Eleven|every]]'' conversation. Name one other game that contains as much as ''[[Endless Frontier]]'' does, ''without'' straying away from the seemingly incredible gameplay.
* [[Whip Sword]]: Kaguya's sword can extend like one.
* [[World of Badass]]: The [[The Goomba|very first mook]] you meet attacks with a [[Macross Missile Massacre]]. The shopkeepers moonlight as [[Hired Guns]]. Old crashed battleships that constantly spew forth monsters from other worlds are basically treated as ''tourist traps.''
