History VideoGame / MagnaCarta2

* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: With help from [[spoiler:his creator Nix]], Zephie and Rue embark on one [[spoiler:to heal Juto, freeing him from Schuenzeit's control in the process. This involves bringing Juto along to fight mental versions of himself, First Elgar, and Schuenzeit, before finally fighting Juto himself.]]

* BlackAndGrayMorality: The Northern Forces are an army that see fit to employ monster weapons on both enemy soldiers and civilians. But the Southern Forces are hardly a faction of saints: Zephie had to form an alliance with Count Alex to rally nobles and retired soldiers to her cause, and a lot of them aren't exactly fighting the Northern Forces without expecting something out of it. Count Alex ultimately helped Zephie on one condition: [[ArrangedMarriage that she would marry Alex after the war ended.]] On a military angle, some generals in the Southern Forces have considered fighting fire with fire by creating their own Sentinal weapons, especially in frustration with the Counter-Sentinel Unit failing to achieve favorable results. [[spoiler:Zephie uses their discovery of [[HumanResources the true nature of Sentinel manufacturing]] to completely shut this pursuit down.]]

* FiveRaces: The [[ProudWarriorRace Trewa]] are the Stout, [[OurElvesAreBetter the Mare]] are the Fairy, and humans are the Mundane. The Avis and Nekoneko both qualify as the Cute. The only role missing is that of the High Men.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: [[spoiler:After rescuing Zephie from Schuenzeit, Juto's health starts decreasing during the group's escape from Belfort. As it is revealed later, this is the result of Juto disobeying Schuenzeit's orders to stop, leading to his Kamond on the verge of breaking.]]

** [[spoiler:Nix sees himself as something of Juto's father for creating him.]]

The sequel to ''VideoGame/MagnaCarta: The Phantom of Avalanche'' and ''Tears of Blood''.

* BigBad: Schuenzeit Baren, who assasinated Queen Ibrin and took the throne for himself. [[spoiler: Counting his previous duplications as Taats and Srats, this marks his third time using duplicates to start a war to fulfill his goals.]]

* AllThereInTheManual: The last-names of the main cast, including Rue's full name (Siara Rue Tessia), are all in the artbook. Only Zephie and Crocell have their last names (Berlinette and Redeen, respectively) mentioned in-game.

* MaleGaze: The first shot we get of Celestine is of her boobs.

* MeaningfulName: Juto's name comes from a hardy weed native to Highwind Island, known for its propensity of "spring[ing] back [to life] no matter what". At first, it seems to reflect only his stubborn nature. [[spoiler:Not only is he DefiantToTheEnd against Schuenzeit, it's hinted that he's recovering in the events of TheStinger.]]

* LoveAtFirstSight: Celestine, for Argo. Note that Argo is a massive Dragon/Hawk-man.

* ArrangedMarriage: Count Alex agreed to an alliance with Zephie, in exchange for marrying her. [[spoiler:As...the Queen's husband. Schuenzeit scoffs at Alex's ''lack'' of [[AmbitionIsEvil ambition]] in that agreement, declaring that Alex himself should be Lanzheim's king, something that Alex never considered.]]

* BareYourMidriff: Melissa.

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:Elgar]]. For that matter, [[spoiler:Schuenzeit]].

* DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler:Rather than being phenomena that drain people's Kan out to death, the Doomseeds turn out to be just nature's way of saying "quit being so hard on me!". However, it is also revealed that Schuenzeit/Strass can control them at will]].

* TerminallyDependentSociety: Lanzheim is dependant on La Strada, which provides the world with so much magical energy that they haven't needed to farm food for over one thousand years. [[spoiler:Two years after its destruction, people are getting on just fine with traditional farming methods, though not without complaint]].
* TheAtoner: Notably Juto, [[spoiler:for his past life as Elgar the Regicide]]. Both Zephie and Argo show traits of this as well, with her mother and his tribe respectively.
** [[spoiler:Juto's creator, Nix, becomes a more active one after the group frees him from the Sentinel Laboratories.]]
* TheNapoleon: Crocell, although his in-game model never really shows it. Juto and Celestine see it, though, and often take turns needling him over it.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Juto is Elgar--the Elgar who inadvertently almost killed Zephie, thereby violating Schuenzeit's absolute order to keep her alive]]. The game takes a bit of time drawing it out until the group finally decides that they needs to [[spoiler:prioritize Zephie's rescue]].

* TheVamp: Claire.

* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Zephie, although she's a princess.

* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: After 1,000 years of not having to farm, no doubt the populace is concerned about its survival when the prospect of working for its food is brought up.

* {{Meido}}: {{Downplayed}} example with Crocell's servant Marith ([[ItIsPronouncedTroPay pronounced MAHR-reath]]). Though her outfit isn't that different from the generic Belfort residents, she served the Reeden family until Elgar killed them on Schuenzeit's orders. She is still devoted to the Reeden family, having sought out Crocell to pass on a family heirloom.

* AncientConspiracy: [[spoiler:Late in the game, it turns out that the current Lanzheim Civil War is part of a cycle of perpetuated war to harvest Kan for La Strada, as a means of keeping Lanzheim a "bountiful paradise". The current war shares similarities with two previous wars (one from 150 years ago, another from 300 years ago), despite the aggressors in each of the three wars--Taats, Srats, and Schuenzeit--being seemingly unrelated.]] [[spoiler:As it turns out, all three aggressors are in fact [[CloningBlues duplicates]] of [[FallenHero Straus]], who started this cycle ''and'' [[MoralEventHorizon eradicated the original Carta to do it]].]]

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Late in the game, Juto and Elgar are revealed to be "humanoid Sentinels"--essentially, weapons with the intelligence and finesse that the usual beast-like Sentinels lack]].

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: In ''Magna Carta 2'', several names are ridiculously German-sounding, such as BigBad Schuenzeit and the world called Lanzheim.

* BridalCarry: SubvertedTrope. [[spoiler:When Juto stops the ritual that would have killed Zephie per Schuenzeit's plan, Zephie floats down into Juto's arms. But Zephie, still upset by the revelation that he was the Elgar who landed a fatal blow upon her ''and'' that the HeroicSacrifice was stopped, pushes herself away from him, telling him that she is indeed the Magna Carta.]]
* ChekhovsGun: The Tomb of Strass, a chamber that branches off from the Undersea Tunnel. The Counter-Sentinel Unit returns there [[spoiler:during the FugitiveArc, as it doubles as a library of ancient records by the Mare. Records that reveal to the group some very strange similarities between every major war that was mentioned throughout the game...]]

* CoolMask: Elgar.

* DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler:The Doomseeds turn out to be just nature's way of saying "quit being so hard on me!". However it is also revealed that Schuenzeit/Strass can control them at will]].

* FlatCharacter: Rue. She shows little to no emotion throughout the entire game, is a SatelliteCharacter for Zephie, and has no backstory or any mention of a family.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Celestine uses ''bottles of incense'' to fight with in her "Aroma" fighting style.
** Zephie uses a fan. No, not a battle fan like [[VideoGame/MortalKombat2 Kitana]]; we're talking a ''giant fan'' on a long stick, which Zephie fires wind magic from.

* LethalChef: Zephie. Her cooking's so bad, not even Argo could possibly stomach it.

** [[spoiler:The sole exception to this is Juto/First Elgar and his creator, Nix, who the group meets and rescues by chance.]] [[spoiler:Conversely, Second Elgar regarded Schuenzeit as a father to him.]]

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Argo, although most other Trewa you meet hate his guts, either for letting his Bluemoon village get sacked, or ''because'' he's a Bluemoon.

* SkunkStripe: Juto.
* SmugSnake: Alex doesn't even ''try'' to hide how slimy he is. [[spoiler:So it's a big surprise to the crew when they find out he's in cahoots with Schuenzeit]].

** [[spoiler:Juto's creator, Nix, becomes one after the group frees him from the Sentinel Laboratories.]]

** Swords: Juto

** The Archer and ImprobableWeaponUser: Celestine

* OurElvesAreBetter: The Mare, who are basically elves with crystal horns. They live half as long as normal humans (the average Mare lifespan is 40 years), but are all incredibly [[{{Bishounen}} beautiful]] and have awesome magical powers. And, of course, they tend to shun people who would bring war to their doorstep.
