History VideoGame / LennusII

* ActionGirl: Nikita--a professional stripper--is an aspiring Action Girl who begs you to let her join the party. If you dismiss her, she'll be furious at you for taking away her chance to fight.

* FiveManBand:
** BigBad: [[GodOfEvil Gra]][[LightIsNotGood na]][[OmnicidalManiac da]].
** TheDragon: [[BlowYouAway Be]][[WingedHumanoid lts]].
** EvilGenius: [[BeardOfEvil Bal]][[PlantPerson mod]].
** TheBrute: [[FatBastard Boo]][[PecFlex zoo]].
** DarkChick: [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Bejould]]

** DarkChick: [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Bej]][[WhipItGood ould]]

%%* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Especially for an SNES game.

* ShoutOut: The fan translation calls the Gravity Tower the [[Literature/GravitysRainbow Rainbow of Gravity]], and turns the BigBad's motivation into an evil plan to build a [[Franchise/StarWars Death Star]].

* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Granada]] employs this twice:

* BackgroundBoss: [[OneWingedAngel Granada's final form, similar to Kaymat from the first game.

* BackgroundBoss: [[spoiler: [[OneWingedAngel Granada's final form]], similar to Kaymat from the first game]]

* DoomedHometown: [[spoiler:The entire Underworld once the Great Union occurs. You get to revisit what remains of it later on as part of a dungeon]].

* GodOfEvil: [[spoiler:Granada, being a Ran]]

** The Water spirit becomes unobtainable once you go to [[spoiler:Lennus]], as Zorban the giant fish disappears entirely once you get there.

** [[spoiler:The Great Union at the start of the game. Once you trigger it, you cannot return to the Underworld as it were]].
** Once you go through the Rainbow of Gravity leading to [[spoiler:Lennus]], you cannot return. [[spoiler:Well, kind of. Eltz and Lennus fuse together later on, giving you back access to Eltz, but you do [[PermanentlyMissableContent permanently lose access to obtaining the Water Spirit]] once that happens]].

* ShoutOut: The fan translation turns the BigBad's ultimate goal into an evil plan to build a [[Franchise/StarWars Death Star]].

* AllInARow: Every mercenary you recruit follows Farus' lead. In an interesting twist, the monsters in one of the dungeons do this as well. When the next battle occurs, the aforementioned enemies add themselves to the encounter (they can also flee, meaning they'll follow you behind once the battle is over). Once five of them are present in the same battle, they transform into the [[BossInMookClothing Combiner]] enemy.

* ShoutOut: The fan translation includes one for evil plan involving a [[Franchise/StarWars Death Star]].

** Monglar, the miniboss of Kamui Town, starts getting more actions per turn the closer it is to death.
** Once you deplete half of [[FatBastard Boozoo's]] HP, [[PecFlex he transforms his fat into pure muscle]], and the ''real'' fight begins. His [[GroundPound butt stomp]] is upgraded into a high damaging belly flop, and he gains a new attack: RapidfireFisticuffs that hit the ''entire party'' for damage high enough to cause a TotalPartyKill.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Farus was unknowingly responsible for triggering the Great Union]]

** The Giant's Head and Heart in Kua Terran. It's filled with much of the same enemies as the WombLevel in the first game, though you do fight two Virus minibosses at the end of each one.

** [[spoiler:The other time happens way later on, when [[ColonyDrop Eltz crashes into Lennus]] and the two fuse together. Both worlds fit neatly together with one another, with very little damage being done to each world. Granada later reveals this to be a part of his ultimate plan, to convert both planets into a new star]].

* AlwaysCheckBehindTheChair: There are some really useful stats increasing items and gold hidden in shelves throughout the game.

* BackgroundBoss: [[spoiler: [[OneWingedAngel Granada's final form.]]]]

* ContinuityNod: One of the dungeons is an almost perfect reproduction of the maze of Doth from the first game

%%* DoomedHometown: [[spoiler:The entire Underworld]].
* DubNameChange: English-language players will probably be baffled by Rich Jr.'s constant references to a mysterious "father" that they're apparently supposed to recognize, but who is never named outright. That's because for whatever reason, the name of Richter, the strongest mercenary in the original Lennus, was changed to "Mouth" in the localization of Paladin's Quest.

** BizarroElements: Sky. Unlike what its name may imply, Sky can be best described as a summoner element, since its spells revolve around [[TheBeastmaster summoning creatures]] to aid you in battle, such as Gubo.[[note]]Summons a cute Gubo to attack all enemies. Deals NonElemental damage[[/note]] Can also be used to combine other elements, thus creating better spells.

%%* GainaxEnding

** The Water spirit becomes unobtainable once you go to [[spoiler:Lennus.]]
* PointOfNoReturn: The [[spoiler:Great Union]].

* SchmuckBait: Almost too many to count. The are many, many [=NPCs=] who will gleefully take all of your money away--[[PermanentlyMissableContent permanently.]]
* ShoutOut: The fan translation include's Gravity'sRainbow and an evil plan involving a [[StarWars Death Star]].

%%* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Farus, twice.]]

Lennus II is the sequel to ''Lennus''--better known overseas as PaladinsQuest--which, despite being popular in Japan, was not received very well elsewhere. Like many other late SNES-era [=RPGs=], it was [[NoExportForYou never localized]] despite doing well in its own country. Thanks to the power of FanTranslation, however, English-speakers can now enjoy the game for themselves via emulation.

** DishingOutDirt: Earth. Mainly used for support spells such as Heal[[note]]Cures status ailments from party members[[/note]] and Revive.[[note]]Revives one party member. At its lowest level, they'll be revived with 10 HP, while at its highest level, they'll be revived at full HP[[/note]]

** MakingASplash: Water. Provides magic support mainly in the form of wall spells. Also provides the incredibly useful Bottle[[note]]Uses up a dose of medicine and divides it evenly among all party members. Its effectiveness is determined by the size of the bottle of the caster. Can only be cast if the caster has a bottle equipped[[/note]] spell.

* AlwaysCheckBehindTheChair: You will not regret checking every bookshelf in the game for stuff, as you'll get a lot of gold and some really useful status increasing items such as Slimy Sweat[[note]]Increases HP by the double digits[[/note]] and Dragon Horn[[note]]Increases Wisdom, thus increasing the damage of attack spells[[/note]], among some other miscellaneous items.

* BossInMookClothing: The Combiner in the Mountain of Learning. Aside from [[BarrierChangeBoss changing its elemental weaknesses]], it has boatloads of HP, hits like a truck (1000+ damage per turn to every party member) and is immune to spells such as Momrick[[note]]Freezes enemies for 2 turns when successful[[/note]], Slow[[note]]Slows down enemies when sucessful[[/note]] and Sofie[[note]]Reduces enemies' Defense when sucessful[[/note]].

* AllInARow: Every mercenary you recruit follows Farus' lead. In an interesting twist, the monsters in one of the dungeons do this as well. When the next battle occurs, the aforementioned enemies add themselves to the encounter (they can also flee, meaning you). Once five of them are present in the same battle, they transform into the [[BossInMookClothing Combiner]] enemy.
