History Videogame / AgarestSenki

* OptionalSexualEncounter: Played with, you have to marry one of the girls in the current generation where you are treated to a scene of them with nothing but bedsheets. One of the few JRPGs to let the player have sex with their love interest.

A prequel under title ''Agarest Senki ZERO'' has been released long before the NA release of the original game, and it has just been released in North America by Aksys. While we're at it a [[http://www.siliconera.com/2010/06/08/compile-heart-countdown-is-for-record-of-agarest-2 sequel]] has been announced too.

There's a confirmation [[http://www.siliconera.com/2011/12/09/record-of-agarest-war-2-coming-overseas-care-of-aksys-in-summer-2012/ that the US and Europe are getting it.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfRaces: This game's got humans, syriums, high elves, dark elves, onerthes', neocolloms, ryulents, larvas, greers, nelths, harpuias and yulishees.

* CaptainObvious: "Silver Sword: A sword made of silver" [[SarcasmMode Gee, thanks item description!]]

* TheCameo: Leonhardt, Ellis, Valeria from the first game, and Meu from ''[[ChaosWars Spectral Souls]]'' are in this game. Doubles as ContinuityCameo and ContestWinnerCameo.

* CurbStompBattle: Oh [[DiminishingVillainThreat Summerill]], you never stood a chance. [[spoiler: And then [[TookALevelInBadass he grinded again his levels]] and becomes the generation 3 final boss (by technicality, without the route split.)]]

* FetchQuest: Present in this game from find x number of items to kill x amount of monsters to collect items. Doing these will net you money, and also items from the [=NPCs=] that you helped out. A large part of the second generation story is pretty much a gigantic FetchQuest in that you have to collect items so that you can save Rasta, Yumil's brother. [[spoiler: Then ItGotWorse.]]

* CurbStompBattle: Oh [[VillainDecay Summerill]], you never stood a chance. [[spoiler: And then [[TookALevelInBadass he grinded again his levels]] and becomes the generation 3 final boss (by technicality, without the route split.)]]

* ShoutOut: [[BlazBlue MikeZ's infamous]] '''[[MemeticMutation REAL Soviet Damage!]]''' is one of the achievement/trophy names of this game.
** On that note, a number of achievement/trophy names are shout-outs. Among others, there's [[StarWars 'It's a Trap!']], [[AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy 'Stay Classy, Kraltarla']], [[BlazBlue 'Nirvana...?']] (earned for creating a marionette; it is worth mentioning that Aksys localized both Agarest and BlazBlue), [[ThreeHundred 'Fight in the Shade']], and [[FistOfTheNorthStar 'You're Already Dead!']].

*** Whoa, whoa, now don't tell me I'm the only one that see [[FinalFantasyVII Cloud]] in Weiss, right?

* YouDontLookLikeYou: Some of the 3D enemies have had their models replaced. Most noticeable with with the Jumbo Cock, who is no longer a giant chicken but rather a Griffon thus ruining the joke, and Tyrant type enemies going from massive armored enemies to using the model for spirits from ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia''. This is not only present in Zero's battles, but the battles in the game's abridged version of the first game as well.

* AccidentallyAccurate: Black Hole in this game pull enemies into it's mass black body before evaporating into a small white mass which causes a massive explosion. This is actually accurate, Black Hole did not just conveniently disappear like in some other fictions shown, Hawking radiation has proven that after a Black Hole lost it's masses an enormous explosions surpassing nukes will happen.

* CaptainErsatz: Janus is pretty much [[AgarestSenki Winfield 2.0]] except that he's a normal human being who ages quite noticeably, and has a son named Jude. [[spoiler: And in the second generation finale, he gets cursed by an evil ring which makes him ageless like Winfield.]]

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItIsFemaleOnMale: If you think all the women [[spoiler: beating up on Janus and Jude is funny whenever they peep at the hot springs]], then it is this trope.

* AerithAndBob: On one hand, you have some normal names like Fiona, Eva, Victoria, and Janus to name a few. On the other hand, you also get names like Ri Ra=Rua, Firiine, and Lizerotte.

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: For a brief while when [[spoiler: Gray's]] not in your party, you can have Jude be the guy walking on the map.

* ColorfulThemeNaming: Weiss (white), Schwartz (black), Gray.

** Weiss is Leo, Gray is Ladius minus the emotion, Janus is CaptainErsatz of Winfield, Ignis can be Zerva, Eva is Dyshana, Fiona is Ellis 2.0, Victoria is pretty much Elaine, Vanessa is both Hilda and Murmina, Yumil almost has the same storyline as Silvi, and Schwartz is pre-CharacterDevelopment Duran taken UpToEleven.

* GrandTheftMe: Happens ''thrice'' in this game. [[spoiler: First was Chaos' consciousness fully awakening inside Gray's body. If you get the True Ending, then Mobius suddenly possesses Chaos' body, and after a few minutes (read as one boss battle), the third one happens when Chaos gets his body back from Mobius, sporting new threads.]]

** Fans of ''SchoolRumble'' might point out that Hanai has the same seiyuu as Gray. Better yet, he's ''ViewtifulJoe'' in ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom''.

* LaserBlade: Weiss and Gray's dagger whenever they do their [[LimitBreak Original Skills]] turn into a ''lightsaber''.

** Another nice piece of {{Foreshadowing}} would be the 2nd generation HotSpringsEpisode. You'd think this was just a little ShoutOut to Ladius having a deja vu that Winfield will get beaten up for peeping on the girls even though Ladius never saw it. In Schwartz's case however, [[spoiler: he ''has'' seen the outcome already because Weiss, Schwartz, and Gray ''are Chaos''.]]

* WhamEpisode: Happens ''successively'' with a one hour cutscene! [[hottip:*:unless you use the skip button by pressing square in cutscenes. Oh, we hope you have some back up party members, and hope you saved with a different file because you can't heal in between battles here nor change any equipment.]] Starting from [[spoiler: Janus' HeroicSacrifice]] to [[spoiler: Fasti making a [[TheReveal HUGE Reveal]], and Sophia being ThatOneBoss fight just because she can't trust Chaos (pulling off a GrandTheftMe on Gray)]]

* BrotherSisterIncest: The protectors tradition to preserve their pure blood. For examples are: [[spoiler: Weiss and Rena]],Yumil and Luster, [[spoiler: Ignis and Sophia, Seraphina and her brother]].[[spoiler: None of them ends well.]]

* FetchQuest: Present in this game from find x number of items to kill x amount of monsters to collect items. Doing these will net you money, and also items from the [=NPCs=] that you helped out. A large part of the second generation story is pretty much a gigantic FetchQuest in that you have to collect items so that you can save Luster, Yumil's brother. [[spoiler: Then ItGotWorse.]]

** Oddly averted with with the prequel, which still has no English voice option, but did get a disc release.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Everyone mostly remembers Yayoi as [[ItMakesSenseInContext the girl]] [[EroticEating with sausage]] on Akyss homepage.
** Everybody remembers the mousepad with Vira-Lorr's boobs.

* LesYay: Happens during many of the "FanService" type scenes (BeachEpisode, HotSpringsEpisode, ...).

!!''Agarest Senki'' contains the following tropes:

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: This, apparently was a bad idea however. [[spoiler: Subverted in the most twisted manner possible.]] [[spoiler: ''Then plays it straight so hard in the True Ending.'']]

* NonActionGuy: Fasti/Faz '''[[spoiler: SUBVERTED HARD.]]'''

* MrFanservice: For some weird reason, the males in this game are ''ripped.''
