History Videogame / Tera

* {{Bishonen}}: High Elf males, having particularly more boyish-looking and "prettier" faces than the other males.

* BareYourMidriff: Plenty and the armorers show way more than the midriff...

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The US and EU versions of the game censor the Elin models. Compare the differences [[http://my.mmosite.com/1cd10251c16a43d090e2399862b464a2/blog/ritem/1c8e968e01d15c1fdfee5b36fccf123e.html here]]. Considering that the other races (well, except Castanic females that is) kept their {{stripperiffic}} outfits, this might be due to {{lolicon|AndShotacon}} fears. Of course, uncensor patches cropped up the moment the game came out.

* AnAxeToGrind: The Berserker class wields axes of the ridiculously big variety.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: The majority of female armors in the game (along with CombatStilettos), as well as a few male armors. [[HornyDevils Castanics]] tend to get the most revealing outfits, but even Amani and [[TokenMiniMoe Elins]] get a few as well.

* JoustingLance: The Lancer's WeaponOfChoice, taking after the ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' treatment with an accompanying tower shield.

On April 20, 2022, an announcement was made that ''TERA'' would be completely [[DefunctOnlineVideoGames shutting down]] on June 30th of that year. However, several private servers available for people who still want to play.

* {{Beastess}}: The female Amani. The race's males are much more monstrous-looking compared to the females, but the female Amani still stand out compared to the females of the other playable races in the game. And while it's possible to give a female Aman a more... [[GorgeousGorgon comely face]], she would still retain her race's height, three-clawed hands, elephant feet, statue-like physique, and overall [[IdleAnimation intimidating presence]].

* AbsoluteCleavage: More outfits than you'd think.

** Perhaps the most damning about this whole thing is the fact that the Elin costumes, which you pay real money for (or buy them off people who bought them for real money), are left completely and totally uncensored. The hypocrisy of this gets turned UpToEleven when you look at the [[https://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/Elin-Devilicious-Bewitching-Items Elin Devilicious Costume]], which is far, ''far'', '''far''' more "offensive" than any of the censored armors ever were.

* ArcVillain:
** For the first arc,

On April 20, 2022, an announcement was made that ''TERA'' would be completely [[DefunctOnlineVideoGames shutting down]] the following June.

* ATasteOfPower: After making a character, you can choose to play as them at level 20 to get a feel on the gameplay of the character. After the prologue ends, you start at level 1.
** As of the May 14th patch (19.04.05), the tutorial island has been inexplicably removed.

* BadassAdorable: Poporis and Elins.

** [[TheEngineer Arcane Engineer]]/Gunner (Female Castanic, High Elf, and Elin restricted)
** Brawler (Human restricted)

** Valkyrie (Female Castanic restricted)

* OneGenderRace: Elins are all-female, while Popori and Baraka are supposedly genderless, but have male aesthetics and voice banks. Popori and Elin were originally the [[BizarreSexualDimorphism incredibly bizarrely dimorphic]] males and females of the same species.

'''''The Exiled Realm of Arborea''''', or '''''TERA''''', is a [[UsefulNotes/SouthKorea Korean]] action {{MMORPG}} by ''Bluehole Studios''. Built on the scrapped source code for what would have been [[VideoGame/{{Lineage2}} Lineage III]], TERA uses a real-time battle system instead of the standard MMO fare of a plethora of action keys. Players can HackAndSlash, [[BlackAndWhiteMagic Cast Magics]], [[DoABarrelRoll Dodge]], and [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Block]], all in real-time and with no breaks.

* PantyShot: The skirts of High Elf females flip up regularly while animating. The Castanic Females can't even be bothered to cover their underwear most of the time.
