Zenonia: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

The first ''Zenonia'' follows the story of Regret, a child found by the Holy Knights commander Dupre in the midst of war. After Dupre finds the child, he resigns from the Holy Knights to raise him, bringing suspicion among his colleagues. Years later, Dupre, now known as Pardon, lives in the town of Ayles with his son. One day a demon appears in the town and Pardon attempts to fight it off but is killed. The rest of the townsfolk start treating Regret coldly, and an unfortunate misunderstanding involving a tree kicks off Regret's journey. In the neighboring town of Adonis, he learns that long ago, a man named Argos [[Sealed Evil in A Can|sealed a great evil using five seals throughout various dungeons]], and that recently, the seals are beginning to weaken. It's up to Argos to visit the five seals, and either make sure they stay intact or break them, [[Karma Meter|depending on your choices]].

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Members of the Divine Tribe tend to look down on members of the Degenerated Tribe, beings that are human-like in appearance. {{spoiler|The pontifex Temir is to blame for this warped view.}} This naturally causes several misunderstandings for Chael.

* [[Flash Step]]: By doubletapping in any direction. Useful for evading enemies.

* [[Furry Confusion]]: The Maru are a dog-like race, but they are evidently unfamiliar with four-legged canines.

* [[The Gunslinger]]: Starting with the second game, an available class.

* [[Microtransactions]]: Starting with the third game, valuable extras like Origin of Life must be purchased with real-world currency.

* [[Never Accepted in His Hometown]]: Hoo boy, after Pardon dies in the first game, everyone in town starts treating Regret like shit, and Regret can't figure out why. It gets to the point where Billy, one of the few people who still like him {{spoiler|(Although it's probably because he is working with the Dragon Clan)}} suggests he leave town for a bit to let everyone cool off.

* [[No Cutscene Inventory Inertia]]: Weirdly inverted in which your player character can appear in flashback cutscenes with their currently equipped gear.

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Langue and Parole. Though it's not exactly stated how old they both are, they claim they're old enough to have seen what the world was like before the Holy Knights and Dragon Clan started fighting.

* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: The English translations delve into this at times.

* [[Schrodinger's Player Character]]: Averted in 2. Although you play as one of four characters, the other three make appearances in plot-related events, including {{spoiler|[[Offscreen Moment of Awesome|saving your character and finishing off the fourth boss themselves.]]}}

** A quest has Regret hunting down polar bears carrying "Dark Waters". [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPoM2o9kIBM Sounds familiar....]

** If you play as Morpice in 2, after reaching the town of Iris, he briefly mutters how Monica had promised there would be treasure and that "[[Portal (Video Game)|the cake was a lie]]."
