History VideoGame / TimeAndEternity

%%* BattleCouple: The main couple, technically.

* NoDamageRun: Getting one of the Gold trophies requires winning 20 battles in a row without taking damage. However, this can be done as early as the first area where one of the monsters doesn't even attack!

* RummageSaleReject: Wedi. WordOfGod states that she isn't dressing to be provocative, but just really doesn't care what she wears.

* TheRival: Ricardo wants Toki/Towa's hand. [[{{Starboarding}} Zack and Towa both want his head for this]].
%%* TakeAThirdOption: The resolution of Chapter 2.

* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: After the early-game discussion between Towa, Enda, Reijo, and Wedi, everyone who meets the princess recognizes her when they meet again - regardless of which soul is currently active[[note]]Although the Assassins Guild fan club is introduced to the dual-soul function later on, this only happens after several meeting that could very well have had Riardo proposing to Toki rather than Towa[[/note]]. Of course, what with the automatic change every level and the scarcity of the soul-changing items, locking certain sidequest strands to Toki/Towa would very quickly have become a ScrappyMechanic.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil:
** The trailer for the US version spoiled both Toki's SplitPersonality and the fact that [[spoiler:the wedding is attacked more than once]].
** The art book that came with the Collector's Edition of the game reveals the BigBad.

''Time and Eternity'' (alternate Japanese {{Portmantitle}}: ''Tokitowa'') is a UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 JRPG developed by Creator/{{Imageepoch}}, released in Japan by [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Bandai Namco Games]] in Oct., 2012 and in the United States by [[Creator/NipponIchi NIS America]] in July 2013. It features SupportingProtagonist Zack, a knight of the small kingdom of Kamza, preparing for his wedding with princess Toki. However, on the day of the wedding, a group of assassins interrupt and Zack is killed while protecting Toki. While he thinks he's had the best death ever, he quickly learns two things: Toki has a second personality within her body named Towa and she can travel back in time. While Toki returns six months into the past, Zack's spirit travels along by inhabiting the body of Toki's pet dragon, Drake, and the two (three?) set out to prevent the disaster at the wedding.

** Ricardo's flunkies met at the beginning of the game are named [[{{Peanuts}} Lucy and Linus]].

* GodivaHair: The only thing left covering Toki/Towa in the shower after the CensorSteam is successfully removed.

** Averted in the shower scenes after Drake!Zack manages to clear just enough to get a decent view.

* GodivaHair: The only thing left covering Toki/Towa in the shower after the CensorSteam is successfully removed.

%%* BadassGrandma: Eva.

* FoodPorn: Inverted ''hard''. We need a "Food Gorn" trope just to describe Ricardo's cakes.

** Ricardo's cakes look very much like the type of food [[ArTonelico Aurica]] is prone to cooking.

* [[spoiler:IJustWantToHaveFriends: Reijo. She only wished for wealth in order to be on the same social level as Toki so they could be friends]].

-->'''Mute:''' ALSO, I REALLY LIKE COUCHES. BUILD ME A NICE CASTING COUCH, AND I CAN GET YOU ALL THE BEST GIGS.
-->'''Drake!Zack:''' A couch?
-->'''Mute:''' DON'T YOU KNOW? IN THE ASSASSIN INDUSTRY, [[SleepingTheirWayToTheTop IT'S ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO ON THE CASTING COUCH]].

%%* NiceHat: Reijo and Wedi when outside.

%%* RagsToRiches: [[spoiler:Reijo]].
%%* RichBitch: Reijo. [[spoiler:Subverted]].

%%* SadisticChoice: Reijo is forced into one in Chapter 2.

%%* TheRival: Ricardo.

* TemptingFate: If Towa is active on the approach for Olden's questions, she assures Drake!Zack that "[she's] not worried" about what kind of questions would measure his worth as a husband. The correct answers to the first three questions leave her ''embarrassed to a {{Tsundere}}'s full extent'', and answering the fourth question with her ideal answer is incorrect (although the correct answer to the fifth question is [[GoldenSnitch worth 100 points on its own]]).

%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Towa and Toki, respectively.
%%* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Wedi]] in Chapter 3.

* {{Tsundere}}: Towa is a tsun to the extent that she has ''one animation'' for 'turn away indignantly, then turn back and softly smile'.

* BadassGrandma: Eva.

* BattleCouple: The main couple, technically.
* [[BeachEpisode Beach DLC Sidequest]]: One each for Toki/Towa, and one more for the remaining female supporting cast.

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Sanders]] a.k.a. [[spoiler:Moebius]]

* BossBanter: {{Lampshaded}} in several fights.

* CasanovaWannabe: Ricardo.

* CensorSteam: In both of the DLC Hot Spring event images.

* CharacterDevelopment: Each supporting character gets some in each chapter.

* LostForever: The lunches Toki/Towa can make when their Love stats are between 0-49 and 50-99, a unique one for each personality and two that either one could make per tier.
** Chapter-specific sidequests are also lost if they aren't completed before concluding the chapter.
** Gallery images will not be unlocked if the player makes the incorrect choice during specific Memory Events.

* NiceHat: Reijo and Wedi when outside.

* PaletteSwap: Both [=NPC=]s and monsters. One of the complaints about the game is the lack of enemy variety even though each enemy of various types will switch out their strategy to keep the player from getting too complacent.
** Toki and Towa as well in the field and in battles.

* RagsToRiches: [[spoiler:Reijo]].
* RichBitch: Reijo. [[spoiler:Subverted]].

* RuleThirtyFour: [[SincerityMode Averted]].

* SadisticChoice: Reijo is forced into one in Chapter 2.

* ShoutOut: Ricardo's flunkies met at the beginning of the game are named [[{{Peanuts}} Lucy and Linus]].

* SomethingElseAlsoRises: When Drake talks about a lot of blood rushing to his... head.
** And this exchange:

* TheRival: Ricardo.
* TakeAThirdOption: The resolution of Chapter 2.

* TimeParadox: Chapters 1-3 take place 6 months, 3 months, and then 1 month before the wedding. Chapter 4 re-does each boss fight, then jumps to 1 year before the wedding; most of the sidequests in it are what begin several of the chains of events in the preceding chapters.
** Also, in the first couple of chapters, [[spoiler:it turns out that the events leading up to the attacks on the wedding were caused by Toki/Towa trying to prevent them in the first place]].

* TokenMiniMoe: Enda
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Towa and Toki, respectively.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Wedi]] in Chapter 3.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The trailer for the US version spoiled both Toki's SplitPersonality and the fact that [[spoiler:the wedding is attacked more than once]].

* TrainingFromHell: Towa wouldn't have it any other way, especially since she'd rather spend her honeymoon at a cabin in snow-covered mountains because of the harsh conditions.
** FridgeBrilliance kicks in at the same time as that also explains how Toki is in such great shape.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Toki/Towa are both Grade A.

* {{Dojikko}}: Wedi.

* {{Jerkass}}: Zack. Throughout the game, he constantly makes passes at other girls, Toki/Towa's friends included, yet [[{{Hypocrite}} gets pissed whenever Ricardo tries to hit on her]]. He's a ChivalrousPervert without the "chivalrous" part. Reijo realizes this and it's one of the reasons why she names him after various weeds. Toki also appears to be aware of it too since she will use it against him from time to time. [[spoiler:He gets better as CharacterDevelopment kicks in during the latter half of the game]].

* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: Makimona.
