History VideoGame / DragaliaLost

** SimpleStaff: Staves. Healing units often wield them.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: This gets asked in universe during Chapter 6. The Prince is 7th in line to the throne, Emile is 6th and Valyx is 4th. This makes Ranzal asked what happened to #5. The Prince has no idea since whatever happened was well before his time.

* TheCameo: Several ''VideoGame/RageOfBahamut'' characters appear in wyrmprints like Forte in "Lord of the Skies" and Cerberus (with Coco and Mimi) in "Fireside Gathering". The Jeanne d'Arc dragon also takes some obvious cues from the Jeannes in ''Rage'' and ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'', including being voiced by Creator/MegumiHan in Japanese.

Alberia is a kingdom dominated by dragons, with its royal family sworn to pacts with several dragons. Your player character is a prince who is seventh in line to the throne, but has long avoided doing so to avoid competition with his siblings. However, he is tasked with making a pact with a dragon as part of the mission to investigate the weakening of the Sacred Shard, their one defense against numerous hordes of monsters. But as he sets out, unspeakable tragedy occurs and he is left to his own devices as he unravels what led to such unfortunate disaster.

Alberia is a kingdom dominated by dragons, with its royal family sworn to pacts with several dragons. Prince Euden, seventh in line to the throne, has long avoided doing so to avoid competition with his siblings but he must to complete his mission. As he is tasked with making a pact with a dragon as part of the mission to investigate the weakening of the Sacred Shard, their one defense against numerous hordes of monsters. But as he sets out, unspeakable tragedy occurs and he is left to his own devices as he unravels what led to such unfortunate disaster.

* BreakMeter: Bosses have a separate meter that builds as it takes damage. Once the meter fills, it enters an overdrive state, becoming much more aggressive. Attacking the boss while it's in overdrive depletes the meter, and once it's empty it enters a break state and becomes much more vulnerable.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Dragons come in all shapes and sizes. Some low-rank dragons are called imps, for example. Some dragons can also assume a more humanoid form, with this setting's [[SeriesMascot Jeanne d'Arc]] being the most obvious example in the gacha. [[spoiler:Brunhilde proves it goes even further at the end of chapter 3.]]

* WhamEpisode: Surprisingly, the launch content contains one toward the end in Chapter 5. [[spoiler:This chapter fully reveals the existence of The Other, who is possessing Aurelius and making him restore the Dyrenell Empire. Now, this is something the team's suspected as far back as chapter 2... but then comes the revelation that The Other's goal this whole time has actually been to BodySurf into ''Zethia'' instead. '''And it succeeds.''' The Mystery Girl is also revealed as a Zethia from... elsewhere, who has now comprehensively failed as she wasn't able to team up with "our" Zethia to expel the Other in time, and cryptically tells Euden to not worry about "her" life and to seek the "Dawnshard" on his own. She uses the last of her strength to teleport Euden's party to safety... leaving the Other, in Zethia's body, to pin the death of Aurelius on Euden and to declare itself "Empress Zethia, Auspex of the Nether". With that, Zethia (well, "Zethia") is now ''the central villain'', Aurelius is ''dead'' (though still within Zodiark to some degree), the family is shattered, and Euden is left wondering how on earth to proceed.]] What makes this work and makes it a wham is that ''none'' of this was even remotely teased in promotional material, and some of that material can even make the player anticipate a different set-up.

* WhamShot: From chapter 5 again: [[spoiler:the moment of Zethia's eyes glowing red behind Euden, who has just realized something is terribly wrong.]]
