The plotlines involving S O U L and Snaily Joe, the other entities, wreaking havoc on the world is left unresolved.

* AllJustADream: All the SurpriseCreepy in Fate Demon turns out to be this, though apparently it's because something tried to warn Guy against killing things just because he was told to (which doesn't work.)

* DisguisedHorrorStory: It starts off light, with characters cheerfully going "oh es so kawaii" and a simplistic plot. Then everything goes straight to Hell with characters brutally dying and several {{Eldritch Abomination}}s turning up.

Then it turns out Guy is Old Guy The King, the SurpriseCreepy in this particular installment [[AllJustADream was all a dream]] and S O U L began trying to channel through him all this time ago.

* StylisticSuck
StylisticSuck: The entire series appears to look like this at first, with crude grammar, overly simple plots, and using default sprites.
* SurrealHorrorSurrealHorror: Once the games' true colors are revealed, they take a hard dive into this territory.

* BigBad: [[EldritchAbomination S O U L]] is the ultimate threat to the fantasy world, distorting and corrupting it into [[InTheirOwnImage his own image]], with Old Guy The King as TheDragon. In ''Era Ovation Acceptance'', [[BigBadEnsemble two rival eldritch abominations]] show up. Snaily Joe plots to rule the world [[PresidentEvil as it’s democratic leader]] in the wake of S O U L’s destruction (though Morshu beats him pretty easily). The very end of EOA also introduces a new Big Bad in the form of Shachihata, a world-devouring entity who wants to eat the fantasy world and poses as TheCreator Arale. The Dimensional Stability Officer tells Morshu that, should be have to choose between helping S O U L or Shachihata in their battle, [[EvilerThanThou he should choose the former]]. Assuming Morshu follows his advice, Shachihata would be the Big Bad of his post-game adventures.

* AboveGoodAndEvil: Snaily Joe:
-->I am not evil. I am beyond your human concepts of morals.
* AesopAmnesia: Invoked. Cain learns nothing from his adventure and is just as much of a {{Jerkass}} at the end of the game as he was at the beginning.



* AmbiguousGender: Shittyghost. Sometimes he is referred to as male, but in the dating sim she is apparently a female. Although, according to WordOfGod, s/he is the ghost of a male character (the Terracotta Ogre).



* BaitAndSwitchBoss: [=GreenPark=] Woods sets you up to believe you are going to fight Franchise/{{the Slender Man|Mythos}}. Instead you fight an UncannyValley Flareon cosplay.



* TheChessmaster: S O U L and Old Guy The King together masterminded a ridiculously complex plan to bring S O U L into the world.
* TheChosenOne: GIRL, at least according to the Divine Oracles of Truth.



* EldritchAbomination:
** S O U L, the antagonist of the series, is a giant eyeball with many tentacles and the ability to warp the world into whatever it desires.
** Snaily Joe is a giant blue snail with tentacles and two gaping mouths and rainbow-colored insides.
** Shachihata is a dimension-eating parasite.



* FlatWhat: Morshu's response to the Flareon cosplayer.



* HopelessBossFight: S O U L in the first game. While you do 'win' it, you do so through committing suicide, and then get a Game Over anyway.
* IHaveManyNames: S O U L has a ton of different forms and iterations.



* {{Jerkass}}:
** Cain, the protagonist of Mystic Infinity.
** Old Guy The King. Though by the end of EOA, he seems to be suffering from SanitySlippage.



* JumpScare: FEEL SAD

to:

* JumpScare: FEEL SADJumpScare:
** Parodied when Shittyghost briefly appears on screen with a message saying “FEEL SAD”.



* KilledOffForReal: Several characters. HERO, Kawaii Girl, Shittyghost, Desu Girl, the Ogre, etc. Although you do get to see them again in the prequels.
* KillEmAll: What Old Guy The King and S O U L will apparently eventually accomplish. Also what will happen when Shachihata vaporizes the universe.
* KleptomaniacHero: One of the town [=NPCs=] in Mystic Infinity calls Cain out for breaking into their houses all the time. Cain himself also lampshades this repeatedly.
-->'''Cain''': yknow his life savings are probly in there
-->'''Cain''': but there's nothing i like more than CASH MONEY
* LackOfEmpathy: Guy/Old Guy The King. Especially evident in Fate Demon- he is not fazed at all by any of the weird hallucinations trying to make him feel bad for killing the Terracotta Ogre.



* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Basically almost every one of the protagonists wine up inadvertently helping S O U L.
** By killing the Ogre, you've indirectly destroyed Town and released S O U L. A high amount of the second half of the original game is about making the player/HERO feel bad. Gets even worse when you see just the extent of S O U L's actions.]]
** GIRL does this as well in Final Dragon, killing the Final Dragon, which apparently is also part of Old Guy The King's plans.
** Cain, kawaii desu girl's grandfather, who drove the dragons to near-extinction in the first place, and also inadvertently released S O U L from the Dragon Blade. Quest Fantasy protagonists have a bad habit of ruining everything.
** Actually averted with Guy. All the creepy things that happened were AllJustADream. However, possibly subverted if his apathetic nature was what caused S O U L to begin trying to get into the universe in the first place.
* NightmareSequence: Parodied in LPSE. Examine the bed.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: The king pretends to talk with StylisticSuck like the rest of the world in order to hide his status as a Divine Oracle of Truth.
* OnlySaneMan: Adam and Oswald somewhat, Morshu definitely.
* PaletteSwap: The Terracotta Ogre is literally just a recolored Ogre and nothing more.



* PresidentEvil: Snaily Joe is the President of Victorioso and a literal EldritchAbomination who intends to TakeOverTheWorld.



** Era Ovation Acceptance, and the series as a whole: The {{author a|vatar}}ppears and talks for a bit, but then walks Morshu home. Suddenly, a Dimension Stability Officer shows up and reveals the author to actually be an Eldritch parasite named Shachihata who is trying to activate [[NoFourthWall the credits sequence]] so that she can eat the world. The Officer admits he can't really do anything about it, though, but implies that Shachihata and S O U L will be battling for the world, and encourages Morshu to [[EnemyMine help S O U L win]], since a world taken over by S O U L is better than no world at all. Credits roll.

* SanitySlippage: It is hinged that Old Guy The King has been slowly going further into delusion.
* SavedByCanon: Kawaii Desu Girl in Final Dragon, just before losing to the titular Final Dragon, is saved by ThePowerOfLove and [[ThePowerOfFriendship Friendship]]. The AuthorAvatar then points out that she can't die here because she's in Quest Fantasy.
* SelectiveObliviousness: Cain is entirely convinced that his wife left to get groceries six years ago and took their daughter with her.



* VillainProtagonist: Subverted with HERO, in that the game tries to portray him as such when he didn't really do much other than take the advice of the king which he had no real reason to believe the king would possibly be doing anything evil. Then again, so little is revealed about HERO that he may or may not be one of these.
** Also, Guy in Fate Demon. He's apathetic about killing and grows up to become TheDragon to S O U L.

Describe Quest Fantasy here.

Um... that's easier said than done.

Alright, first of all, it's best you know absolutely nothing about Quest Fantasy before playing, so if you really want a pure experience, [[https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B48kITgXhEGEY2pEaUFLX1lXM28/edit download the first game in the series and play]]. It's not very long (only about a half-hour at most) and works fine on it's own without having to play the rest of the series.

Quest Fantasy is a series of UsefulNotes/RPGMaker VX Ace games of [[StylisticSuck intentionally low quality]]. Default graphics and sound, terrible grammar, overly cliched plot-lines, and such. The series follows various protagonists' adventures [[AnachronicOrder in various periods of time]], as they complete various missions, some of which are given by Old Guy The King, and defeat various foes, eventually facing off against a mysterious and powerful evil that threatens the world.
