Upon finally seeing who exactly is behind the revolution's recent actions, [[spoiler: he shuts down the Astral Furnace, immediately killing Erik, but was too late to stop the summoning.]] Prometh on the other hand never provides the vital information about the true enemy and their plans until after the battle is over as, through a series of coincidences and intentional evasion, she simply [[spoiler: never met Erik in the first place and wasn't even aware of their existence until the day of the final battle, at which point she was more preoccupied with saving Prim's soul]]. A detail she's quick to bring up when Cassel tries to ask why she kept all that to herself.

* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: Inverted. Physically oriented characters are decent, though behind any mages, early on in the game. Late game there are many areas that passively disable magic and numerous enemies carry Magic Break, which cuts all magical power in half. Meanwhile physical characters suffer no such restrictions in any areas and any buffs or debuffs that could hinder their output can be dispelled, unlike Magic Break. Many weapons throughout the game also carry a chance on hit to cast spells, late game physical characters who are reaching the damage cap can begin investing in their INT stat and use these weapons to effectively surpass the standard damage cap. Mages, while having access to ''some'' of these weapons, lack default access to physical skills to help hit repeatedly to trigger the weapons, ultimately leaving them on status management duty rather than direct combat participation.

** Driven home with two back to back plotlines. Toma's capture is treated as being [[NoOneGetsLeftBehind absolutely necessary to rescue him]], even setting aside the emotional aspect as simply being that they can't afford to sacrifice anyone or risk losing the goodwill of the people.

''Demon Gaze II'' is a RPG/Dungeon Crawler for the UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita and UsefulNotes/Playstation4 created by Kadokawa Games. It was first released in Japan in 2017 and America later that year. It is a direct sequel to the first ''VideoGame/DemonGaze'' with several characters and locations returning.
In this game, you take control of a young man (Default name: Signa) who awakens with no memories inside of a strange castle and is led by a strange girl named Peg to a device called the Astral Furnace that kills people and converts them into Star Power for use by Magnastar, the ruler of the city. After being saved at the last moment, Signa defeats Peg, the demon Pegasus, in battle, and absorbs her soul into his eye, turning her into an ally. Signa soon learns that he is part of the Asteria Revolution, aiming to overthrow Magnastar and free the city by using his own Demon Gazer and Star Power against him.
The gameplay is mostly identical to the first game: You create a party of five characters (including the protagonist) as you travel into a labyrinth to find and defeat the resident demon(s). This is done by searching out and capturing all the "Demon Circles" scattered across the labyrinth. Once all circles have been sealed, a demon will appear, who you must then defeat. After winning the fight, the demon will be sealed away by your Demon Gazer power, and then- in the biggest change from the first game- become the playable party members rather than hiring mercenaries from Stella's Place.
In addition, the game allows you to customize your party with Artifacts which give them different set of abilities that they might not be able to acquire themselves, as well as changing their appearances in the bath area at the inn. New skills and stat upgrades for each demon (and Signa) can be earned by upgrading his Likability with each one either by performing Maintenance or by giving each demon a private room.
!!This game contains examples of:
* AmnesiacHero: Signa lost all of his memories when being imbued with the power of a Demon Gazer.
* BigBad: Magnastar.
* BigDamnHero: Cassel saving Signa during the prologue.
* BonusDungeon: Two.
** The post-game dungeon.
** Clearing the post-game dungeon opens a second, that was originally DownloadableContent in the Japanese release but free in the Global release, that revisits the locations of the first game, effectively doubling the game's length.
