History VideoGame / SuikodenWovenWebOfTheCenturies

* ArcherArchetype: Luceri is a lonely and stoic archer.

A GaidenGame to the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series, launched for the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] in 2012. Much like ''Videogame/SuikodenTierkreis'', the story takes place in an alternative universe and features no returning characters.

* ForWantOfANail: It's probably not a good idea to move the location of the Era Tree [[spoiler:as it lead to the death of everyone in the MC's village by monster attack, since that tree is the barrier against the monsters]].

* BonusBoss: The five hidden bosses that guard chests containing the best equipment.

* ObviousBeta: Not as bad as ''VideoGame/SuikodenIV'', but this game fells somewhat short and the combat is unbalanced. Also, you only have 18 permanent playable characters (two per class) and some bosses are weaker than the mooks fought before them.

* CosmicHorrorStory: [[spoiler: The real world is ''already destroyed'' by Teras Pharma, the world everyone knows is a small reserve inside a magical barrier. The Teras Pharma will eat absolutely anything until nothing but they remains, at which point they will [[NauseaFuel eat each others forever orgiastically]]. Also, TheEmpire itself is the magical barrier, so the choice is between tolerating an EvilEmpire or getting eaten by a HordeOfAlienLocusts.]] [[CrapsackWorld Yeah.]]

* TheEmperor: Leopherias XIII, the current emperor of Ionia.

* LadyOfWar:
** Astrid, General Quinelia Lewis and Makia Zafir from the Ionia Empire.

* PointAndClickMap: Due to the UMD navigation, navigation in the world map and in towns are done by moving a cursor.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Being a ''Suikoden'', this is a given. That said, some of the 108 Starbearers are already dead before the events fo the game and lack [[CharacterPortrait Character Portraits]].

A spin-off to the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series, launched for the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] in 2012. Much like ''Videogame/SuikodenTierkreis'', the story takes place in an alternative universe and features no returning characters.

!!This game provides examples of:

** However, this rule doesn't apply to gameplay mechanics (as you can open treasure chests in the past and take the contents with you) and is contradicted when you have to bring Crystalite (from the present) to Dagzuma (100 years ago), or when one of your ring-makers leave a ring in Neisa's workshop 200 years in the past.

* PointAndClickMap: Due to the UMD navigation, nagegation ion both the world map and in towns are done by moving a cursor.

* BigbadWannabe: In the end, [[spoiler:Aaron and his group]] were just puppets in the hands of [[spoiler:the Yggdrasil Throne.]]

* PointAndClickMap: Due to the UMD limitations, both the world map and the towns are just clickable images.

* CharacterClassSystem: Every character has a fixed class (ex. swordsman, lancer, mage, etc.) and specific skills.
* CosmicHorrorStory: [[spoiler: The real world is ''already destroyed'' by Terasfarma, the world everyone knows is a small reserve inside a magical barrier. The Terasfarma will eat absolutely anything until nothing but they remains, at which point they will [[NauseaFuel eat each others forever orgiastically]]. Also, TheEmpire itself is the magical barrier, so the choice is between tolerating an EvilEmpire or getting eaten by a HordeOfAlienLocusts.]] [[CrapsackWorld Yeah.]]
** [[spoiler:Subverted, as it's latter revealed that the Terasfarma has been extinct for many years and the world fully recovered from the damage.]]

* CantTakeAnythingWithYou: Explicitly stated by Zefon in ''The Woven Web of A Century''. Applies both direction, and applies to people and things. [[LoopholeAbuse Doesn't apply to learned Skills and knowledge.]] Otherwise the MC would simply drag his badass grandfather to fight monsters in the present.
