History VideoGame / LuminousArc2

* WhipItGood: Fatima's weapon of choice

* MegaTwintails: Karen's majestic curling tails dwarf her head.

** It appeared early actually, when Roland mentioned about the girls in the academy, Althea immediately hit him (presumably an ArmorPiercingSlap), though she refused to explain why she hit him.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Alot of the problems that pop up over the course of the game could've easily been avoided if anyone actually bothered to listen to or talk to anyone else. The game actually manages to cover quite a few of the causes for this trope too.
** CassandraTruth: The typical response to Fatima and Mattias' claims? "Trying to save the world? No YoureInsane!"
*** PlayedWith though. They don't believe their claims because of the method they were using. Also, Mattias more or less attempted to do the plan originally by himself, and it ''does'' backfire on him.
** IgnoredExpert: No one bothered to listen to Fatima nor [[BashBrothers Steven]] about Mattias.
** DividedWeFall: A mixture of bad actors and personality flaws ensure the heroes are fighting each other as much as their main enemies for much of the game.
** LockedOutOfTheLoop: By almost everyone to pretty much everyone else. Notably things could've gone smoother if Roland had just been told that he was [[spoiler: Mattias' son]]. Also, [[spoiler: Mattias had attempted his quest more or less singlehandly without telling anyone, pretty much leaving Roland to Steven and informing of a dangerous plan]].
** NotHelpingYourCase: [[spoiler: Mattias]] acts more and more like a supervillain as he enacts his plan, [[spoiler: even [[ForcedToWatch making his old friends watch as he slaughters their men and steals their souls to fill the Demon Blade]].]]
** OneSideOfTheStory
** RightHandVersusLeftHand

* PreorderBonus: Comes in a pretty box with soundtrack and artbook.
* {{Prison}}: Meauxgus Prison.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Master Mattias is Roland's father and was actually doing a NecessaryEvil approach to stopping the Beast Fiends.]]

* ShipTease: Roland/[[spoiler:Dia]] and Roland/[[spoiler:Sadie]] in their respective Final Intermissions - both involve love confessions, though the seriousness of either is open to interpretation.

* ShoutOut: To [[Series/CharliesAngels Charlie's Angels]], when Althea, Dia and Luna was musing on thinking about having a team name and Kaph volunteering to be the professor.

* SmugSnake: [[spoiler:Bharva]]

* StatusBuff: Almost everyone has one or two.

* StoneWall: Gaston
* {{Stripperific}}: Fatima's outfit.
** [[spoiler: Ayano]]'s battle 'outfit'.
** Against expectations, averted by the wedding dresses the Witches are seen wearing during Engagement cut-ins. Some show cleavage, but all are actually quite classy.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: Fatima can be interpreted as one, in and out of Intermissions.
* SuperMovePortraitAttack: The Flash Drives.

* TerribleTrio: The Rosetta Rosso.

* TokenMiniMoe: 12 year old Pop, along with her cute brother, Pip, as the Token Shota. Alice and Therese count, as they join your party after an optional guild mission.
** Arguably Sadie who is possibly the second oldest party member but barely looks older than Pop.

* {{Underboobs}}: Ayano, Dia in her swimsuit.

* AnIcePerson: Shadow Frost Magic (yes, that really is an element) mixes this with CastingAShadow.

** Also for the RuleOfCool, if the player can afford it.

%%* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:Vanessa]]
* BoobsOfSteel: [[spoiler: Ayano]] is one of the best and fastest attackers. For [[{{Stripperific}} obvious reasons]], [[GlassCannon her defense isn't quite as high.]]
** Actually her job is basically magical ninja and ninjas don't have high defense.
** Before you get her, though, this trope is inverted: Potpourri is likely to be the strongest attacker, and is a flat-chested [[TokenMiniMoe loli]].

* BreakingTheFourthWall: In the tutorial, Rasche explained the controls which involves pressing some buttons. When Roland asked what he was talking about, Rasche said that he was explaining them to someone else (the player).

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Every time [[MakingASplash Luna]] mentions being thirsty, pretend she's complaining about having the munchies. [[TheStoner Her lines instantly become that much funnier.]]
** Also, the [[spoiler: Uniting]] scenes. Sure, they're set up to evoke [[spoiler: a marriage ceremony]], but between Sadie [[TheTease making it sound like a]] DeusSexMachina, Luna calling herself an exhibitionist for doing it in front of others, Althea making a point of doing it during a private emotional moment, Pop is very innocent about it, Dia acting like it's something fun they both benefit from, and [[spoiler: Fatima actually asking the others to leave her alone while she does it]], it can very easily make you think of something else.

* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler: Elicia is really opposite expy of Virgin Mary, Black Holy Mother anyone?]]

* {{Fanservice}}:
** Fatima. Plus the optional Hot Spring sidequest...
** Luna in her Final Intermission CG in SexySoakedShirt.

* {{Gainaxing}}:
** Fatima in the anime opening.
** Luna does as well.

** All three games in the series are rather guilty of this, though this one in particular likes using it.

* {{Hulkspeak}}: Two words: BHARVA SMASH!
** Which comes off as weird, since it's a major plot point that Bharva can speak coherently despite being a Beast Fiend.

* InstrumentOfMurder: Kaph's guitar, doubling as a gun as well!
** Don't forget Sadie and her magical Trumpet that can summon the wind.
*** Very handy when trying to look up her skirt

* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Master Mattias is Roland's real father. Fifteen years ago, he asked Steven to take care of his son before he went on his NecessaryEvil path.]] [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in that [[spoiler: even Mattias didn't know Roland was his son until Steven said so.]]
** [[spoiler: Elicia, the BigBad is Althea mother, to specify more clearly, create her.]]

* MagiTek: Pretty much almost, if not everything, was powered up by lapis stones. [[spoiler: How much society was reliant upon was mentioned when the gang was sent to prison into a anti-magic cell, where they missed the convenience of lapis in everyday life]]. Outside of this was mentions of non-magic technological advances from other countries from scientists and Moose.
** Moose actually points this out to justify why his machines keep breaking down after one use, claiming quality mechanical parts are just about impossible to find.

* {{Otaku}}: Come on people, it's even on Kaph's status screen! He's a Witch otaku (or W-Otaku).

%%* AnAxeToGrind: Gaston

* AbsoluteCleavage: Fatima. Well, her Lapistier kinda gets in the way.
* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts
* AnAxeToGrind: Gaston

* AntiMagic: [[spoiler: Silver Magic]], which can apparently act as AntiMagic to other [[spoiler: Silver Magic]] as well.

* BlowYouAway: Sadie
* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:Vanessa]]

* CannotSpitItOut

* CatSmile: Luna does this when she is in a good mood.

* ChefOfIron: Pip.
* ChekhovsBoomerang: [[spoiler: The Enigmatron.]]

* CriticalHit

* CuteWitch

* DualWielding: Steiner

* EmotionlessGirl: Sadie

* FaceHeelTurn: Oh, [[spoiler:Steiner]]...

* {{Gainaxing}}: Fatima in the anime opening.

* GreenThumb: Pop

* KillItWithFire: Althea, naturally.
* KillItWithIce: Fatima, obviously.

* LadyOfBlackMagic: Fatima.

* LightEmUp: Dia
* LimitBreak: The Flash Drives

* MakingASplash: Luna

* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Bharva]]

* NerdsAreSexy: Dia of course! [[spoiler:Spasuit, AbsoluteCleavage !!]]

* NiceHat
** All three of the Rosetta Rosso members, who have theirs adorned with their emblematic roses.
** Pip's chef hat, which has what looks to be blueberries hanging from it.
** Fatima's pointy witch hat has a ''crown'' on it.
** Luna's shell hat has ''squids''.
** I wonder if Pop's Flower ponytail coverings count...
** Nice beret, Rina!

* {{Meganekko}}: Dia has got a pair of spectacles for cuteness appeal, though not a shy personality.

%%* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

* SkirtOverSlacks: Sadie, lamspshaded when she said that looking up her skirt is pointless though it is quite visible in her character art (arguably, Roland was more interested in that MagicSkirt than anything).

* DudeNotFunny: Dia [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this on [[TokenMiniMoe Pop]] when the latter reacts to Kaph's latest creepiness by getting as close to crying rape as you can in a T-rated game, pointing out that while his creepiness is worth of smacking sometimes, he's also a legitimate artist who doesn't quite deserve to have his reputation totally ruined.

* StandardStatusEffects

* UnwinnableByMistake: It's entirely possible the FinalBoss will regenerate damage faster than you can deal it, even if you could comfortably clear the battles leading up to it.

* EvilMakeover: [[spoiler:Althea's]] armor and hair color all go to purple tones when she goes nuts in Fatima's route.

* DudeNotFunny: Dia [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this on [[TokenMiniMoe Pop]] when the latter reacts to Kaph's latest creepiness by [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar getting as close to crying rape as you can in a T-rated game]], pointing out that while his creepiness is worth of smacking sometimes, he's also a legitimate artist who doesn't quite deserve to have his reputation totally ruined.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Rina and the witches except Pop and Sadie.

** The PowerRangers in Kaph's Final Intermission when he persuaded Roland to [[spoiler: wear a merchandise belt of Luminous Blue while pretending to be Luminous Red and posed together, while spouting the [[InTheNameOfTheMoon Luminous Rangers' speech]]]]. Roland had no idea.

* [[spoiler: EvilMakeover: Althea's armor and hair color all go to purple tones when she goes nuts in Fatima's route.]]

* [[spoiler: [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Mage Queen's Perfect Daughter]]: Althea ]]

* [[{{Prison}} The Prison]]: Meauxgus Prison.
* [[spoiler: PrisonEpisode]]: [[spoiler: You're thrown into Meauxgus Prison around two-thirds of the game through.]] The kicker to the whole thing is the very first introductory line that accompanies the destination flag when you first go there: '''''[[spoiler: "Rot in prison."]]'''''

* {{Sidequest}}s

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Fire]]: Rina has a great fear of fire, mostly due to [[spoiler: Bharva, disguised as Wendel, burning down their house and killing her parents]].

* Creator/YokoShimomura: Composed part of the music.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair

* HairDecorations: Pop has gigantic flower hair tie things, each of which is bigger than her head.
** Sadie has a headband that has pattern of wind.

* BadassGrandpa: Gaston is, not counting a couple of characters much OlderThanTheyLook, the oldest member of the party. Yet he's got huge defense and decent attack, and is probably the only one that can survive the Final Boss' Limit Break on the first playthrough.

* InTheNameOfTheMoon : see below
** Crimson Gunner Karen!!
** Ace Mirage!!
** Mooster Fix-it!!
*** And we are Rosetta Rosso!!!

* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: The main guilty in this case is Sadie and Fatima, two highest magic character that is pretty much broken and make some other "balanced" character overlooked. Even with only the witches they're still broken. Let's say that compare Luna and Fatima, apart from resist Luna is inferior to Fatima in ALL other department([[TheMedic Except ability to heal of course]]).

** Depending on dialogue choices, [[spoiler:Roland can end up with either Althea or Fatima, either by either siding with the rest of the witches (Althea) or trying to understand the Shadow Frost witch's motivations (Fatima), causing the other girl to be jealous after he chooses the other.]]
** [[ChickMagnet Roland]] also ends up, via normal and/or Spa Intermissions, earning (and/or getting flustered by) affections from Dia (possibly), who has a couple of ShipTease moments with Rasche, and Sadie, as well as getting distracted in the hot springs by Luna and [[spoiler:Ayano (who didn't help in her [[{{Stripperiffic}} Hot]] [[MarshmallowHell Spring]] [[TheTease Intermissions]]). Karen also crushes on him, in her Tsundere way, while being oblivious to Ace's interest in her.]]

** And finally, Kaph has a one-sided attraction to every girl in the game.
*** Except Rina and Karen...

* {{Meganekko}}: Dia
* MegaTwintails: Karen
* MookChivalry
* MoreDakka: Karen's and Kaph's Flash Drives.

* PeekABangs: Fatima

*** PlayedWith though. They don't believe their claims because of the method they were using. Also, Mattias more or less attempted to do the plan originally by himself.

** DividedWeFall

** NotHelpingYourCase

** Also, the [[spoiler: Uniting]] scenes. Sure, they're set up to evoke [[spoiler: a marriage ceremony]], but between Sadie [[TheTease making it sound like a]] DeusSexMachina, Luna calling herself an exhibitionist for doing it in front of others, Althea making a point of doing it during a private emotional moment,Pop is very innocent about it ,Dia acting like it's something fun they both benefit from, and [[spoiler: Fatima actually asking the others to leave her alone while she does it]], it can very easily make you think of something else.

* EvilTwin: [[spoiler:Ayano two shadows, who was created to replace ayano. They were create from her ability to age.Really!]]

** An issue of ''B-Witched'' has an article about the upcoming fight against the last boss. In it the writer (Kaph) states "this is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny!"

* AnIcePerson: Shadow Frost Magic (yes, that really is an element) mixes this with DarkIsEdgy.

Single trope asscicate with character in to this [[Characters/LuminousArc2 page]].

Known as ''Luminous Arc 2: Will'' in Japan. It's the [[NumberedSequel second]] game in the ''LuminousArc'' TurnBasedStrategy series by Creator/{{Imageepoch}} in 2008.

* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Played for laughs and a ContinuityNod when Kaph says he feels compelled to take pictures of [[spoiler: Cecille. Veterans of [[LuminousArc the first game]] will know she's a sealed Twilight Witch herself.]]

* SecretCharacter: Alice and Therese, from LuminousArc, can join the party after completing the guild mission about the rainbow.
