History Videogame / AgarestSenki

* KnifeNut: Fyuria, Sherufanir, and Alberti. Beatrice can also equip knives too.
** All four also have a CombinationAttack with each other.

* MagicSkirt: Despite all the sexual fanservice the game throws at you, you will never get a PantyShot from any of the girls. Even when tentacles are involved.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: To be expected considering the game spans five generations.

* MagicSkirt: Despite all the sexual fanservice the game throws at you, you will never get a glorious PantyShot from any of the girls. Even when tentacles are involved.

Not to be confused with ''Roleplay/RecordOfLodossWar''.

Agarest Senki (known as ''Record of Agarest War'' on consoles in North America and ''Agarest: Generations of War'' in Europe and on PC in North America) is a [[TurnBasedStrategy strategy RPG]] developed by Creator/IdeaFactory, Creator/CompileHeart, and Creator/RedEntertainment and released in North America by Aksys Games on 27 April 2010 for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}}, and for the PC on 3rd of October 2013 through UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} after getting Greenlit by users.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: It took 5 generations but you finally did. Or [[BittersweetEnding did you]]?

* EroticEating: Happens at least one in every game. Bananas, sausages and other things. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsCdtS8pVxM You tell me.]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The promo art could be considered porn, yet somehow the game gets away with a "T" rating.
** The ESRB's explanation? [[ItMakesSenseInContext Despite the constant sexual innuendo, ridiculous amount of fanservice, and CGs of almost completely naked women, nothing strictly warrants an M rating]], probably because there are no sex scenes.

** Midas in the third generation. He asks Alberti to take care of his daughter.
** Keith in the fourth generation. He asks Silvi to lie to him but she denies the request. Keith understands her reasons to deny it though.
* LevelGrinding: Some grinding to required to beat the crap outta [[spoiler:an evil God that basically started this whole spirit vessel idea.]] Especially on hard mode.

* WhamEpisode: Sure, you can see [[spoiler: Vashtor's]] betrayal coming from a mile away. What you don't get to see is that [[spoiler: he kidnaps Ellis, one of your GameBreaker units, and now you have to contend with Keith without her.]]

* WeHaveReserves: Have to [[spoiler: sacrifice your life to seal one of the five towers in the world?]] No worry! Make children and let them carry on your task!

* UpdatedRerelease: Reappearance added in more voicing, upgraded the visuals, added in the gallery, as well as new items and a new dungeon. Zero's Digest Mode for the first game cut out all non-story battles, locked onto the true end, and added in new scenes to the [[PlayableEpilogue post-game content]] that imply or outright state relations between characters in the two games [[spoiler: such as Shernini being the founder of Sharona's hometown and Alice being Ellis's ancestor or even mother.]]

* TimedMission: The true ending is locked out if you take more than 500 turns to get there.

* PermanentlyMissableContent: Several events and even the true ending can be missable if you don't meet specific conditions which aren't hinted during the game.

* MultipleEndings: Three endings: True, Normal, and Bad.

* InfinityMinusOneSword: There's a sword named [[InfinityPlusOneSword Shining Light]], to get it you have to: 1) Get to the true route; 2) Have 2 sword that costs more than 300000 G combined; 3) Have an item that you get by beating a boss in TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon; 4) Beat 5 over-leveled gods. In the other side you have the less powerful Leo's sword, which you automatically get by fulfilling the first step.

** However, in the True Ending Route of the Digest mode of Agarest ZERO, [[spoiler: while he does ask for forgiveness from his descendants, he never once regretted his decision on that day to become a Soul Vessel for Dyshana. And besides, if Dyshana never showed up, none of his descendants would be alive anyway.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: Well...in a sense. [[spoiler:When Leonhardt made that pact about his descendants and all, he pledged them to be seals to contain an evil god. Way to go stupid Ancestor; you screwed your descendants over royally.]]

** The True Ending is ''really'' easy to miss since you have to keep track of where the KarmaMeter is at and making sure you don't grind too much since a high "turn count" (battles fought) ''will'' lock you out of getting it. It requires the player to be the player's morality to be in "Neutral" and have defeated the FinalBoss (actually a DiscOneFinalBoss) before the turn counter reaches 500.

* FinalBossNewDimension: More like [[spoiler: [[TrueFinalBoss, New Dimension.]]]] The fight against [[spoiler:Chaos]] happens in the Boundary Plane.

* FinalBossNewDimension: More like TrueFinalBoss, New Dimension. The fight against [[spoiler:Chaos]] happens in the boundary plane.

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:All past generation heroes and heroines in the true ending route after beating Summerill.]]

** [[spoiler: Not just one of 'em. ''Six of them!'']]
** ''VideoGame/AgarestSenki2'' also does this one ''in the opening!'' According to the gameplay however, it was a bad idea to punch out [[spoiler: [[FinalBoss Summerill]] and [[TrueFinalBoss Chaos]]]].

* EndgamePlus: Only available in the true ending route. After beating Summerill you unlock the access to the boundary plane and the fight against the TrueFinalBoss. And there are more things to do after beating him.

* BrutalBonusLevel: The boundary plane in the true ending route.

* DifficultySpike: In the middle of the third generation (chapter) you get to fight Midas, who proved to be [[ThatOneBoss That One Boss]] for many. However, it also starts off a tendency of ridiculously powerful bosses. Up until that point, bosses weren't such a big deal. After Midas, however, they start to regenerate truly large chunks of their hit points and start using one-hitting area of effect attacks that cover half of the battlefield. Not to mention, the game starts to routinely throw 2-3 bosses at you.

* ReplacementLoveInterest: Ellis denies it but it's pretty much obvious that she loves Rex because he looks like Leonhardt.

** Downplayed in the first generation. Dyshana is a distant mom whose main purpose is to help guide the group to defeat the forces of darkness but Leo is the one who make the decisions. Vira-Lorr has the seductress appearence and make a lot of snark comments, but she doesn't flirt with Leo and is only here to overcome her boredom. Ellis although definitely qualify as the child.

** Played with it with the fourth generation heroines. Hilda and Silvi have the seductress outfit but are the mother and the child respectively. The former for being a wise pirate, [[AFatherToHisMen a mother to her men]] and the latter for joining the group just to fulfill her dream to travel around the world, abandoning her homeland. Ryuryu have the child appearance but is the seductress who loves to provoke Duran with snark comments and sometimes flirt with him.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverKill: There's is an overkill message if you do so, and a few good items when doing them.

* TechPoints: Agarest has the TPs which you can freely use to increase character's stats.

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Congratulations! [[spoiler:After dozens upon dozens of hours worth of playtime, you've finally reached the end of the fifth generation and have defeated the FinalBoss who was responsible for the evil that occurred throughout the game. Time to sit back and enjoy the ending? No! Now you have to take care of 5 sealed gods and the ''real'' [[TrueFinalBoss final boss]]]].

* GunsAreWorthless: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], albeit in an [[PlayingWithATrope unusual way]]. Statwise, gun users tend to be quite [[MasterOfNone underwhelming on many levels]] and Breaks do the ranged weapon better thanks to DenialOFDiagonalAttack on part of guns, but they make up for it by being able to [[OneHitPolyKill damage every unit in their line of attack when using physical attacks]].
