Line 8:
Between the fate of Raseir, the dark omens that warn about something terrible coming, and the strange magical beings that start attacking the city, it soon becomes clear that Shapeir needs a hero just as much as Spielburg did. The hero must rise to fulfill an ancient prophecy by mastering the elements themselves and saving the world from possible doom.
The game is set in a land inspired by the [[
=== This game contains examples of: ===
Line 23:
* [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: Either averted or taken [[Up to Eleven]] in the fire chamber of Iblis' tomb. On one hand, just being in the room saps your health unless you douse yourself with water, and stepping in the lava doesn't do much more than make you hop in place for a few seconds (on top of the damage you take from being in the room). On the other hand, you can protect yourself from the heat just by pouring scalding water on yourself.
* [[Copy Protection]]: In a weird sense, the location of the Money Changer was a form of this. She was purposely made difficult to find so that players would use the in box map to track her down. Whether it was truly effective is a different story, as many characters, when asked, will give you her location, but you'll still have to remember those directions.
* [[Cutscene Power to
* [[Dem Bones]]: The ghouls.
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: {{spoiler|Ad Avis.}}
Line 37:
* [[Jerk Jock]]: Issur the blacksmith acts like this. He'll always call you a wimp, even though you may have slain dozens of monsters and brigands single-handedly. Due in part to the limitations of the day, in the original, he would continue being a jerk to you even after you became a member of EOF. In the fan remake, he'll be nicer after you become part of EOF, or he will be slightly more reasonable if you cast a Calm spell before talking to him.
* [[Joe Sent Me]]: To meet Aziza, she will ask you who sent you to her. There are various good answers (Keapon Laffin, Rakeesh, WIT, Erasmus, or Omar), but she will then ask you a question relating to that person to make sure you've actually met said person.
* [[Kill It
* [[Kill It
* [[King Incognito]]: {{spoiler|The Sultan Harun al-Rashid walks among the people of Shapeir as the poet Omar.}}
* [[La Résistance]]: In Raseir, {{spoiler|led by Shema's cousin, Sharaf, the last remaining katta in the city.}}
Line 47:
* [[No Fair Cheating]]: In the original, typing "Suck Blue Frog" into the parser unlocked a cheat mode that allowed you to edit your stats at will, add money/items, and jump to specific days/locations at will. Typing the code into the parser in the VGA remake will first give you a warning, and sets all your stats to 5 if you try it a second time while also disqualifying you from paladinhood.
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: Taking the oath to be accepted into the Wizards' Institute of Technocery. You get the best education imaginable and become a knowledgeable and accomplished Wizard, but you spend about twenty years doing so, dooming the land of Shapeir you left behind.
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: Played hilariously straight. Your caravan is accosted by hundreds of brigands and looks to be overwhelmed. Following an intermission, [[Cutscene Power to
** What makes it even more awesome is that a mere ''five'' guards could overwhelm and subdue you without much effort in the first game. Clearly, [[Took a Level In Badass|you've been doing a lot of training since you saved Spielburg]].
* [[Pet Rat]]: Ugarte to Ferrari.
* [[Punny Name]]: Roget the Saurus. Keapon Laffin
* [[Rape
* [[Rickroll]]: The rarest easter egg in the remake. [[Word of God]] says it has a 1:75 chance of appearing at certain points.
* [[Scary Scorpions]]: Giant, larger-than-a-man scorpions.
Line 67:
** In the remake, your character does one whenever he wins a battle. The exact animation depends on your class. Rakeesh and Uhura have one too if they beat you in training.
** The fighter has a unique one when winning the EOF battle with the two-handed sword. The sword twirl and pose afterwards were a rough imitation of [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud's]] victory pose.
* [[Wizarding School]]: The Wizard's Institute of Technocery. Characters capable of using magic can go there, pass their tests, and gain acceptance into the school. However, actually choosing to attend the school is a [[Nonstandard Game Over]], since the four masters that administer the tests all insist that you remain at W.I.T. and study for about 20 years before rejoining the rest of the world, and they want you to start immediately (and of course, if you choose to stay, Shapeir is destroyed because [[Holding Out for
