History PlayingWith / CosmeticAward

* '''Straight''': In the action RPG game, ''Chronicles of Troperia'', Alice [[PlayerParty and her group of adventurers]] can defeat a number of progressively difficult {{Bonus Boss}}es, culminating in Quazarx, the DimensionLord, which is the hardest boss on the game. For each one of those victories, they get cool statue built on the capital city... Which only serves for decoration.

** Defeating the BonusBoss on ''Chronicles of Troperia'' grants a reward that greatly alters the mechanics of the game up to that point. For example: The ability to fly when, so far, you have lacked the ability to jump!

* '''Defied''': After one too many rewardless BonusBoss battles, Alice finally snaps and she threatens the King of Troperia with [[WhatTheHellHero the total annihilation of his kingdom]] if he doesn't grants her a worthy prize. After all, if her group managed slay Quazarx, then [[MoralEventHorizon burning a dying kingdom to the ground]] wouldn't be too difficult for them.

* '''Enforced''': In the [[LastSecondWordSwap XBo- Erh, I mean:]] ''[[BlandNameProduct Z-Prism 720]]'' gaming console, [[strike:Achievements]] Milestones are actually a required feature for any released game, so the developers have to include them aside the fact that some of them might yield an actual in-game beneficial reward.

** After winning the "Champion's Tournament" mid-way through the game, you obtain a shining trophy to [[AnInteriorDesignerIsYou decorate Alice's home]]. However, near the end of the game you met with Armax, the UltimateBlacksmith, which offers you to create Alice's ultimate weapon if you can get a chunck of [[{{Unobtanium}} Troperium]] for him to forge it. And fortunately for you, the trophy turned out to be made of it.

* '''Justified''': Quazarx, and all the lesser {{Dimension Lord}}s, intentionally rigged their fortresses and material possessions [[NoOntologicalInertia for them to vanish from this plane of existence]], [[CrazyPrepared just in case]] someone managed [[DefeatingTheUndefeatable to defeat them]], in order to prevent said individual of gaining even a fraction of their power. So, no reward for you besides the praise of people. (And maybe some medals!)

** In ''Chronicles of Troperia'', after clearing the BonusDungeon, defeating ThatOneBoss, fullfilling each one of [[IrrelevantSidequest the citizens' requests]], unlocking all the [[InfinityPlusOneSword ultimate weapons]], (some via a series of contrived [[ChainOfDeals interchange sequences]]) catching at least one of each [[FishingMiniGame fish' species]] in the world, [[FirstPersonSnapshooter taking a photograph]] of [[MonsterCompendium every single monster]] in the game, (including those annoying [[LostForever one-shot-chance]] ones) '''AND''' collecting all [[LastLousyPoint the 500 moon pearls]]; you reward is... [[AWinnerIsYou A different title screen]]. [[AtomicFBomb You can scream now]].

* '''Lampshaded''': "What?! Did I almost killed myself back there in the [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace Dimension of Infinite Pain and Despair]] only to get a lousy medal out of it? I demand a compesation!"
--> '''Quazarx:''' "Congratulations great warrior! And now, as a prize for defeating me... You get nothing! You lose! Good day sir! ... Ha ha ha! Just kidding: [[FriendlyEnemy Take this medal as a token of my respect]]."

* '''Discussed''':
--> '''Alice:''' I'd love if once, at least just once, we could get an awesome reward after defeating yet another of those annoying {{Dimension Lord}}s.
--> '''Bruce:''' We are heroes Alice! We don't do what we do for the fame, fortune nor the rewards, we do it to make the world a better place. And for each Dimension Lord defeated, I'm sure we are releasing a lot of people from a life of undeserved suffering.
--> '''Alice:''' Darn it, I think you're right! Sorry about that Bruce, I think I was being selfish.
--> '''Bruce:''' No problem. Besides, we don't necessarily go empty handed after all. Just look at the kickass statue of me they carved!

* '''Played for laugh''': You gain achievements for ridiculous things: [[VideoGame/AchievementUnlocked for moving to the right, for moving to the left, for not even touching the controler...]]
