TERA: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"[[The Federation|The Valkyon Federation]] was created to defeat the argons, because if we can’t win the war, [[End of the World Special|our world is doomed]]. What we need to remember, though, is that if we win the war but can’t win the peace that follows, [[Divided We Fall|the federation itself is doomed]]."''|'''Fraya, Allemantheia Commander'''}}

 

 

A millennia ago, [[The Old Gods|the two gods Arun and Shara]] met in the void and fell asleep. As they slept, they dreamed, and as they dreamed, the world of Tera was formed. First came twelve gods, who all battled fiercely for control of Tera. Born into the conflict were the mortal races, dragged into the divine wars and ever at the heels of the gods. The divine wars lasted for centuries, and took its toll on mortal and god alike.

The [[Player Character]] enters this world to fight these mysterious menaces. Players can choose from one of [[Five Races|seven races]], [[Fantasy Character Classes|eight classes]], and explore the world either alone or in groups. The game was released on January 25, 2011 in Korea, August 18, 2011 in Japan, and is slated for a May 1 and May 3, 2012 release for North America and Europe respectively. Other markets planned for release are China and Thailand.

 

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: More outfits than you'd think

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: The Berserker class wields axes of the ridiculously big variety.

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Poporis and Elins.

* [[BFS]]: Not just the swords. All weapons seem to be appropriately scaled for the towering Amani and Baraka, so they are over-sized for smaller races including humans. The tiny Elins' and Poporis' animations show them having trouble with their weapons' momentum!

* [[Bishonen]]: High Elf males

* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Archers. Justified in that the arrows are magical.

** Incidentally, the censored armors are also ''very'' cosmetically glitchy. None of them react properly to dyes (the new elements aren't included in the diffuse layer), some have clipping issues, and most of them have some manner of issue with the tail holes in the Elin armor -- depending, they forgot to add one to the new design, they forgot to leave a gap in the midriff cover so the tail isn't magically sprouting out of cloth, or the shorts ride too high in comparison to the tail hole in the outer armor, so the tail is improbably close to or even sprouting partially or entirely out of the shorts.

* [[Chainmail Bikini]]: A lot of the female (and some male) armors are ''very'' revealing.

* [[Charged Attack]]: Several classes have these, most notably Berserkers and Archers. Charging determines the power or the number of hits.

* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Choosing Popori or Elin and any melee class results in this.

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: The forte of Warriors.

* [[Mass Monster Slaughter Sidequest]]: All of the suppression quests that give vendor token rewards.

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: The Berserker class.

* [[Money Spider]]: Pretty much everything you kill.

* [[Our Giants Are Bigger]]: Or arguably smaller in this case. The Baraka are claimed by lore to be one of the giant races that abandoned their peoples' battle lust (and escaped divine judgment for that) but they are scarcely a few heads taller than Humans. They also have body proportions that make them resemble overgrown Dwarves. The only slightly smaller Amani are not called giants for some reason.

* [[Panty Shot]]: The skirts of High Elf females flip up regularly while animating. The Castanic Females can't even be bothered to cover their underwear most of the time.

* [[Randomly Drops]]

* [[Random Number God]]: Pray when enchanting a piece of equipment. At least in the western version you can never have a [[Critical Failure]].

* [[Scenery Porn]]: Most of the landscapes in the game are brightly colored, absurdly detailed and screenshot-worthy, and you'll have no choice but to take them in when you get on a flying mount (which have fixed routes as the game's fast travel system).

* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]: Nearly all High Elf outfits are these, but particularly the robes, which are essentially cocktail dresses and evening gowns.

* [[Spin Attack]]: Many classes have gratuitous spinning in their attack animations, while most 360 degree AoE attacks have at least one full spin. The Berserker's is particularly noticeable as the class can choose the number of spins by charging the attack.

* [[Stone Wall]]: The Lancer class.

* [[Sword Beam]]: The Slayer can fire them off during some attacks.

* [[Taken for Granite]]: A rare beneficial version: the Sorcerer class learns a stoneskin spell that makes them immune to all attacks. They can't do anything while petrified, but they can cancel the spell early.

* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]: The flying mounts enter some sort of wormhole for longer travel distances.

* [[Thriving Ghost Town]]: All of the smaller towns.

* [[Underground Monkey]]: Again, level 1 piglets and level 60 piglets.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Certain armors for High Elf males and Castanic males.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: As mentioned, this game could have been the third installment of the prestigious ''Lineage'' series but what it's actually become has been well received.
