History VideoGame / AzureDreams

* OdangoHair: Nico's hair.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** The expensive Aura Bike is really fun to ride and helps you get around town quickly, but look carefully at it when Koh is riding it sideways - or when he is stationary while sideways.
** At the end, [[spoiler: Beldo strikes at Koh, giving him a nasty cut and making his blood spew everywhere, to remove the seal on the Ultimate Egg.]] Rated E for Everyone.

* HairDecorations: Nico, Patti, and Weedy all have these.

''Azure Dreams'' is a roguelike RPG released by {{Creator/Konami}} in 1997 in Japan on the {{UsefulNotes/Playstation}} and everywhere else in 1998 with the UsefulNotes/GameBoy version being released in 1999 in Japan and everywhere else in 2000. There are two different versions: one for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation, which also added elements of town- and [[RelationshipValues relationship-]]building, and another for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor. The overall plot to both games is the same: you are a boy named Koh, and you live out in a desert village where a giant monster tower looms. Your father, Guy, went into the tower to find a legendary monster and hasn't been seen since, so you enter the tower to search for him, and fight/tame any monsters that get in your way.

* DisappearedDad: Koh's father died while Koh's mother was pregnant with Weedy, [[spoiler: although some say that his spirit has been seen at the top floors of the tower from time to time....]]

* DrunkOnMilk: [[spoiler: Well technically it's Cola, but even that's strong enough to make Koh pass out.]]

* ThisAndThat: In the [=PS1=] version, a post-RelationshipUpgrade Nico uses this phrase when reminiscing about her childhood interactions with Koh. "I remember that even when you were a little kid, you would get me and we would do this and do that."

* AsteroidsMonster: Manoevas ([=PS1=] version).

* BareYourMidriff: Nico and most of the other girls in their swimsuits.

* BlackMagicianGirl / CuteWitch / HotWitch: Ghosh's sister [[http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/4460/764846-selfi_large.jpeg Selfi]]... [[RobeAndWizardHat in appearance, at least]].

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Nico, potentially.

* CleavageWindow: Nico.

* [[CoolBigSis Cool Little Sis]]: Weedy, so very much. She even seems fine with the fact that Koh has multiple girlfriends, perhaps just a little bit annoyed that they take all of his attention.

* [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday Dangerous Fifteenth Birthday]]: When Koh became 15, he was allowed to enter the monster tower for the first time and face all of its perils.

** It's worse when you find that valuable Monster Egg or [[InfinityPlusOneSword Trained Wand]], only to get murdered before finding a Wind Crystal. Especially because there's [[PermanentlyMissableContetn a chance it will never appear again.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: Koh. The once annoying kid who everyone looks down upon eventually becomes a celebrity, going to higher floors than anyone else (aside from Guy). He even gets popular enough to have people freak out by his presence, and later on they make T-shirts with his face on them. He can even potentially get '''seven''' different girlfriends, some of which looked down upon him before. They're even fine with '''sharing''' him.

* {{Unwinnable}}: If you beat the game and made it to the top floor without a way to escape the tower, you're pretty much screwed because there's no other way out from the top floor. I hope you have a Wind Crystal, because it's going to suck if you don't.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Selfi, Wreath, Weedy, and [[spoiler:Beldo]].

* {{Badass}}: Guy, who is a legendary monster tamer. [[spoiler: He also managed to use energy to seal the egg just so Beldo couldn't get it.]]

** It's worse when you find that valuable Monster Egg or [[InfinityPlusOneSword Trained Wand]], only to get murdered before finding a Wind Crystal. Especially because there's [[LostForever a chance it will never appear again.]]

* LostForever:
** [[spoiler: If you don't forgive Kewne for momentarily betraying you in the end, he'll fly away sad. By doing this, you never see Kewne again, and will never find another.]]
** Because getting certain items or eggs is based off the [[RandomNumberGod RNG]], it's entirely possible that if you die in the tower holding the specific items, they will never appear again.

''Azure Dreams'' is a roguelike RPG released by {{Konami}} in the late 1990s. There are two different versions: one for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation, which also added elements of town- and [[RelationshipValues relationship-]]building, and another for the GameBoy Color. The overall plot to both games is the same: you are a boy named Koh, and you live out in a desert village where a giant monster tower looms. Your father, Guy, went into the tower to find a legendary monster and hasn't been seen since, so you enter the tower to search for him, and fight/tame any monsters that get in your way.

* RedHeadedHero: Koh.

* DummiedOut: Several items were coded into the PS1 game, but assigned a 0% chance of dropping on any given floor, although it is still possible for them to be spit out by a Barong. Some, like the Shomuro herb, which was made to cure a status effect that was never implemented, are effectively useless. Technically there are ways for monsters to cause this sort of status effect on you, but unless you actually go out of your way to make such a situation possible, it will never be a problem.

* MooksButNoBosses: In the PS1 version, you'll face 38 floors teeming with monsters on your journey up the tower, but not a single unique encounter. The sorceror Beldo waits at the top, but [[spoiler: it's [[ZeroEffortBoss impossible to actually lose to him]].]]

* BlondesAreEvil: Ghosh borders on this considering his condescending personality and his treatment of Mia.

* HeroicMime: Koh can be named as you wish and for the most part he doesn't talk. However, there were some moments where he has some talks: When doing the comedy routine, or eating Patti's food.

* {{Tsundere}}: Nico and Selfi and Fur([=PS1=] version mostly).

* AntidoteEffect: The hazak herb (which recovers a reduced attack stat,) is completely useless on all floors of the tower that do not contain [[DemonicSpider Vipers]], the only monster capable of inflicting that effect. However, try to make it through those floors, and you'll probably be kicking yourself if you don't have any. They're also useful for any monster from an Arachne fusion, which doubles their base power but does not apply to stats gained in the current tower trip unless their stats are healed.

* LetsPlay: There's one comprised of screenshots on the LP Archives by Krysmphoenix. It can be found [[http://lparchive.org/Azure-Dreams/ here.]]
