The year was 2007, and with many of their other projects winding down, [[Sting Entertainment]] needed something to do. The PSP version of ''[[Riviera: The Promised Land|Riviera]]'' had been released, and the PSP version of ''[[Yggdra Union]]'' wasn't due out for some time yet. Someone or other had the brilliant idea of doing a different kind of promotion for ''[[Yggdra Union]]''
Originally a real-time tactical MMO playable on the cellphone, ''
Happily for fans the world over, Sting announced that a Nintendo DS remake of the game (entitled ''
In both of its incarnations,
A [[Audio Adaptation|drama CD]] featuring stories about the Royal Army, Milanor's bandits, and part of the Imperial Army was released in March 2010.
See also the pages for ''[[Yggdra Union]]'', the main title, and ''[[Blaze Union]]'', the prequel following the Imperial Army.
{{tropelist}}
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]▼
* [[Alternate Universe]]
** [[Alternate History]] / [[Alternate Continuity]]: The game uses a combination of both.
* [[Anti-Frustration Features]]: It's possible to restart any stage at any given time, and if you get a game over, you can do an [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Easy Retry]], much like all the other [[Dept. Heaven]] games thus far. Also, once you manage to unlock Nessiah, he stays awake for all subsequent playthroughs, saving you the trouble of having to search the world for his event trigger again.
* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: Emilia, when fighting anyone Bronquian. Particularly Gulcasa. "I'm sorry if it hurts...! D-don't think badly of me!"
* [[Ascended Extra]]: The game is built around this
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: The class-switching cards.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Anyone calling Mistel [[Oba-san]] is in for a lot of pain. Also, if you're in the mood for some hilarity, have Nessiah fight Gordon and Mardym and watch him pitch his composure out the window.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* [[The Chew Toy]]: It still sucks to be Inzaghi.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Somehow, Pamela manages to be ''even more insane'' than she is in the main game.
▲* [[A Day in the Limelight]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Nessiah, of course, but ''[[Emotionless Girl|Zilva]]'' has her moments, too.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: At least if your opponent doesn't have a personal problem with you to begin with. And even then, they'll probably submit to you if your conquered territory is big enough.
Line 43:
* [[The Extremist Was Right]]: Gulcasa's ending.
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: The few characters who could be considered "villainous" or are fighting for selfish goals are all still cute, silly, and extremely likable.
* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: Some of the requirements for unlocking armies are just plain
* [[Fragile Flower]]: Nessiah. [http://twitpic.com/3f76hl Yes, really.]
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: In the original cellphone version, [[Security Blanket|Nessiah's spellbook]] and clothes could only be found in Gulcasa's territory. In the DS version, Gulcasa's castle is only one of a few possible locations to discover the Revelation... and Nessiah's clothes are still there. [[Ship Tease|For some unfathomable reason.]]
Line 58 ⟶ 57:
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Due to the style of the game, the character traits that couldn't get revealed in ''[[Yggdra Union]]'' are brought to light here in various ways.
* [[Hilarity Ensues]]: ''All the goddamn time.''
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: "Dirty old man", says Ortega to Dort.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Milanor, Ortega, and Pamela.
* [[Impossible Thief]]: Nessiah; this is implied to be why Roswell and Rosary get dragged into the world war.
* [[Irony]]: In the other episode II games, Genocide draws power from Gulcasa's teammates to add to his own. In this game, it actually powers him down slightly in order to spread his strength amongst his allies. Yes, it went from running on [[The Power of Friendship]] in a [[8-Bit Theater
* [[It Amused Me]]: Why Rosary is trying to set up a Kylier/Milanor/Yggdra [[Love Triangle]] in the drama CD.
* [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]]: When exactly did Ordene and his wife kick the bucket? For that matter, what were the circumstances under which Gulcasa and Nessiah went their separate ways, especially considering that they're just as flirty as ever? And since no one mentions the Transmigragem going missing (as it is in fact still in Emelone's castle!), just how the heck does Nessiah still know Nietzsche's sister? Have fun trying to figure it out!
Line 71 ⟶ 69:
* [[Nature Adores a Virgin]]: [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|And so does the Angel Halo]].
** [[Virgin Power]]
* [[Nerf
* [[No Export for You]]: ''AAAAAAAAAAAAATLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!''
* [[No Sense of Direction]]: Apparently Nessiah. [[Rule of Funny]]?
Line 77 ⟶ 75:
* [[Pet the Dog]]: The way Nessiah treats his soldiers, especially given [[Troll|his usual demeanor]].
* [[Picky Eater]]: In addition to all of the characters' likes and dislikes from the previous game, here we have Zilva and Emilia's hatred of cheese, among other things.
* [[Player
* [[Plucky Girl]]: A number of the ladies, but Monica especially.
* [[The Pollyanna]]: Nessiah. Oh boy. ''Almost everyone hates him,'' and he regularly gets accused of ridiculous things that even ''he'' wouldn't do. He does not let it get to him. At all.
Line 92 ⟶ 90:
** The Gulcasa/Nessiah undertones are pretty pervasive if you look; turns out [[Blaze Union|there's a reason for that]].
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: In Milanor's chapter of the dramas, Rosary actively does everything she can to make Milanor and Yggdra be attracted to each other, although [[Jerkass|she may just be doing it to pick on Kylier]].
* [[Sinister Minister]]: Juvelon, Mardym, and their army of [[Church Militant
* [[Slasher Smile]]: [http://thenintendo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/yggdra-unison-12.jpg Gulcasa in the key visual]{{Dead link}}. As the key visual features everyone [[Super-Deformed]], the effect is rather humorous.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Milanor. He's one of the two statistically proudest characters in the games, and unlike Gulcasa, he's got ''nothing'' to show for all that ego.
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: More like "spoiler key visual"
** [[Bait and Switch Credits]]: Yes, Mistel, it's very sad.
* [[The Stinger]]: Nessiah appears after the credits with a Just As Planned expression if you haven't found him in-game.
* [[Strange Bedfellows]]: Ortega continues to boss around poor [[Butt Monkey|Inzaghi]].
** For an even straighter example, how about Yggdra and Gulcasa fighting under the same banner?
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Flunky. "Hey, it's the curse lady! [[Bullying a Dragon|Let's pick on her!]]"
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Yggdra's love of Sweetberries and Roswell's obsession with Banangos are both still present and [[Running Gag|gleefully lampooned]] in the dramas. Gulcasa also seems to really like mushrooms (though that may be because Powershrooms are stated to be good for one's body).
