Line 42:
* [[Deconstructor Fleet]]: Goes through Ruritanian, High, and Medieval fantasy like a chainsaw through warm butter.
* [[Distressed Damsel]] / [[Rescue Romance]] : This game ''likes'' these tropes. There's at least 5 occurences of those, split between 3 girls.
* [[Do Well, But Not Perfect]]: Several Titles, such as the "Blade of Darkness" one (which needs you to have less than 40 Medals - aka being beaten by most enemies in the game - combined with a Level 60 or more - aka whoring the Part-Time Jobs and having a tight EXP gaining schedule - ), [[Hundred
* [[Empathic Environment]]: This game loves using it, especially when it comes to War Battles (it's even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by Piko when you're about to fight Wolfgario {{spoiler|in his masked version}}, and the {{spoiler|unmasked}} version of the fight {{spoiler|is a [[Battle in The Rain]]}}.) and dates to sinister-looking places. Averted however with [[Grave Clouds|the Graveyard]], which is always sunny with a cloudless blue sky.
* [[Ending Theme]]: The game has 3 of them: "Asu o Yume Mite", the Sophia-specific Ending song; "Koi o Suru To", the Anne-specific Ending song; and "Mitsumete", the regular Ending song used for all the other characters. "Koi o Suru To" is sung by [[Mariko Kouda]], Anne's voice actor; the other two are sung by [[Hiroko Konishi]], the voice actor of Sophia.
Line 56:
* [[Hint System]] / [[Player Nudge]] : If you fail to score a girl, after the Bad End's credits, a Hint Screen will show up, giving you slightly veiled hints on elements you could have missed in your playthrough that caused your failure.
* [[Hired Guns|Hired Swords]]: Both sides on the war make extensive use of mercenaries to complement their respective regular armies. At Procchia's side is Valpha-Valaharian, known and feared as the strongest mercenary brigade of all the continent ; at Dolphan's side, a bunch of foreign mercenaries recruited en masse, the Asian (the player avatar) being one of them.
* [[Hundred
* [[Infinity+1 Sword]]: The Mitsumete Sword, which is actually the most powerful unlockable item [[New Game
* [[Joshikousei]]: Even though this game is not in a High School setting like Tokimemo, roughly a third of the datable characters are High School girls (5 out of 16 characters).
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: For Japanese players of this franchise, it's not anymore a secret that Salishuan the Spy is {{spoiler|Raizze Haimer}}. The Drama CDs assume you already have played the game (and more specifically having completed a {{spoiler|Raizze}} Run), as the story is told from the girls' point of view (especially from {{spoiler|Raizze}}'s) instead from the Asian's.
Line 83:
** [[Hideo Ishikawa]] as Johan Elites.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]] / [[Red Baron]]: All eight Generals of Valpha-Valaharian have [[Badass]] and intimidating nicknames. Special mention goes to Wolfgario "The Ravager", leader of the Generals, and Zeelbis "The Bloody", [[Meaningful Name|one hell of a]] [[Complete Monster]].
* [[New Game
* [[Not Named in Opening Credits]]: The names of the Eight Generals' seiyuu are not displayed in the second version of the game's opening, unlike in the first version which presents the heroines. This is probably ('''HEAVY SPOILERS''') {{spoiler|to avoid busting [[The Reveal]] about [[Ambiguous Gender|Salishuan]] [[Bonus Boss|the Spy]] being [[Emotionless Girl|Raizze]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Haimer]], by showing their seiyuu's name, [[Yumi Touma]]}}.
* [[Parallel Porn Titles]]: There is a [[Eroge]] called ''Yumemite Knight''.
Line 90:
* [[Romance Game]]
* [[Sad Battle Music]]: "Sorrowful Blade", the battle theme played when fighting {{spoiler|the enemy Eight General Salishuan the Spy, alias Raizze Haimer (one of the winnable main heroines), when she's torn between her duty and her love for the protagonist. You actually need to hear this theme to get her ending: if not, she's [[Lost Forever]].}}
* [[Schizo
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: The [[Battle Cry]] of [[Aristocrats Are Evil|the evil nobles]] running rampant in this game, Johan leading them.
* [[Shown Their Work]] / [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]: While the game has often gotten hammered by certain segments for supposedly being unrealistic, those who have studied feudal/royal politics and history will find tha the game gets a LOT disturbingly right and most of the major events were probably inspired by either medieval history or the history of Imperial Japan. [[Fridge Horror|Yes folks, this stuff actually happened in reality.]]
Line 97:
* [[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Used in the corps' battle part of the war battles. Cavalry beats Infantry, who beats Archers, who beat Cavalry. There's a fourth unit type, the Mages, which can replace one of the three unit types if you have a Studies stat superior to your Horse Riding and Sword Fencing stats combined, which have double superiority, and this against all types, but are weaker defensively.
* [[The Cameo]]: Sparkster of the ''[[Rocket Knight Adventures]]'' series appears in this game, as a one-on-one random opponent. If you manage to meet and defeat him, not only you can gain [[Limit Break|his Special Attack]] and the Title "Rocket Knight", but also once your file is complete, you'll gain access to the Secret Shop held by him.
* [[The Peeping Tom]]: If the Asian works part-time as a beach lifeguard in summer, he randomly can get at peeping at girls he knows via a nautical telescope. Aside from getting a safe-for-work CG of the girl peeped at wearing a swimsuit, and [[Relationship Values|a drop in affection from her]], you get the "Peeping Tom" (Nozokiya) Title for [[Hundred
* [[The Reveal]]: '''TONS OF THEM'''. Most characters have their secrets, and quite a number of them are groundbreaking storyline-wise. No wonder the Character Sheet is chock-full of masked spoilers.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Due to the fact the lives of several characters depend on your choices, there's a LOT of moments that fall in this trope.
Line 110:
* [[Action Girl]]: Sophia, Leslie, Linda and Hanna all [[Took a Level In Badass]] in this [[Alternate Universe]] and became this.
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: Obviously, a part of this game's [[Virtual Paper Doll]] system.
* [[Anime Theme Song]] / [[Ending Theme]]: The game has both of them, both sung by [[Hiroko Konishi]], [[Do
* [[Creepy Basement]]: {{spoiler|The last floors of the [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]] are [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]] incarnate, looking like the unholy child of ''[[Aliens]]'' 's Cocoon Hive and ''[[Silent Hill]]'' 's Alternate Hospital, among other horrors. It's an extreme contrast to the town where the dungeon lies, [[Arcadia|a paradisiac land]] populated by [[Our Fairies Are Different|fairies]]}}.
* [[Five-Man Band|Five Girl Band]]: Composed of:
Line 121:
* [[Honest Axe]]: Occurs at Tripond Mountain, except that MacLeod drops in the water a dynamite pack needed to get a gem, instead of an axe. Pointing the correct dynamite nets you one of the three colored-dynamite packs allowing you to get either a Ruby, an Emerald, or Gold Bars (depending on the dynamite's color), along with the regular dynamite pack.
* [[Impossibly Delicious Food]]: Lesley thinks of Middmoney Restaurant's meal as this (to the point she sheds anime-style stream of tears), if MacLeod goes on a date with her there. She later explains the meal tasted very much like her mother's cooking, back when she was young.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Mecha]]: The {{spoiler|Pyramid}}'s true purpose is to hide and store an [[Humongous Mecha]]. Said mecha is the only way to cross a large river standing between you and the next land around mid-game.
* [[Isometric Projection]]
* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: One of the [[Limit Break|Super Love Attacks]], which is only accessible if both female partners are [[Relationship Values|deeply in love]] with MacLeod.
* [[Our Fairies Are Different]]: {{spoiler|They actually reside in a parallel world to the Human World, and the access between those worlds is very strict.}}
* [[Put On a Bus]]: If you're not named Sophia, Raizze, Leslie, Hanna, Linda, or {{spoiler|Carneau}}, you're a victim of this trope, being reduced as a mere cameo. Especially jarring in the case of Priscilla and Anne, which were poster girls of the original ''Mitsumete Knight'' game, major players in the storyline (even more so for Priscilla when taking the Drama CDs into account), and well-liked characters in the fandom.
* [[Replay Value]]: While ''Mitsumete Knight'' loved this trope, ''Mitsumete Knight R'' turns this [[Up to Eleven]], milking this trope for all its worth, thanks to its [[New Game
* [[Shout
** Another Shout Out, this time for ''Twinbee'' : Aqua, a minor character who lives in the last {{spoiler|Human World}} town, punctuates the end of her speech with the characteristic "-bee" [[Verbal Tic]] whenever she loses patience.
* {{spoiler|[[Stable Time Loop]]}}: ('''HEAVY SPOILERS''') ''The whole storyline.'' This also gives an in-game justification to the [[Virtual Paper Doll]] and [[New Game
** {{spoiler|[[Adam and Eve Plot]]}}: {{spoiler|1=Christopher MacLeod and Fairy Queen Pako, who become the Saint Genesis Father and Mother, after leaping back to the beginnings of time}}
** {{spoiler|[[Fantastic Romance]]}}: {{spoiler|1=Christopher MacLeod, a human, and Fairy Queen Pako}}
** {{spoiler|[[My Own Grandpa]]}}: {{spoiler|1=Christopher MacLeod and Fairy Queen Pako}}
* [[The Empire]]: {{spoiler|Orcadia is actually revealed as a ghastly one, [[New Game
* [[The Reveal]]: ('''HEAVY SPOILERS''') {{spoiler|1=[[The Hero]] and Captain of Orcadia's Royal Guards, Christopher MacLeod, is actually revealed upon a second playthrough, as [[The Mole|one of the O2 terrorist organisation's Big Four, acting as a mole]] waiting for the right time to strike and destroy Orcadia from within. He does this because he's thirsting for [[Revenge]], being [[Fallen Princess|the Prince of the fallen Kingdom Parmet]], destroyed by Orcadia's schemes, and having seen [[Dead Little Sister|his cute and beloved little sister Melinda]] slowly and horribly tortured to death by Orcadia}}.
* [[True Final Boss]]: Two of them, who are mutually exclusive since they appear depending on if you're on a License of Heartless odd-numbered playthrough, or a even-numbered playthrough: {{spoiler|General Kurgan of Orcadia}} in the first case, and {{spoiler|Calbares, the [[One-Winged Angel]] form of Dark Prince}} in the second case. Hope you carefully saved up those rare [[Invincibility Power-Up|Mandragore Roots/Magic Mushrooms]] you collected during your quest, [[Nintendo Hard|because you'll]] ''[[Nintendo Hard|need]]'' [[Nintendo Hard|them against those guys]].
Line 156:
* [[Warp Whistle]]: The statues present in nearly every town of the game allow you to warp to any of those towns by touching them, but you first need to activate the system by gathering the 3 Slates of Earth, Sea and Sky scattered throughout the world, and then place them in the machine inside {{spoiler|the Pyramid}}.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Each main character has one. MacLeod and Sophia [[Heroes Prefer Swords|both use a sword]] ; Raizze is a master fencer with [[Royal Rapier|the rapier]] ; Hanna has a [[Battle Boomerang|boomerang]] as a weapon ; Leslie uses [[Power Fist|claws]] ; and Linda's weapon is [[Whip It Good|a whip]].
* {{spoiler|[[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters]]}}: The true nature of the terrorist organisation O2 (short for "The Opposition to Orcadia"), [[New Game
{{reflist}}
