History VideoGame / Conception2ChildrenOfTheSevenStars

* HeroesWantRedheads: The red-headed Chloe is a possible {{Love Interest|s}}.

* {{Keigo}}: Feene speaks to Wake very formally, mostly because she doesn't really know how to act around him. He gets his first glimpse of her natural personality when meeting her childhood friend Raul.

* [[HasTwoMommies Has Seven Mommies]]: The independent Star Child who runs the Gift Shop states she wants Wake to make all of her mommies happy.

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:[[{{Franchise/Danganronpa}} Monokuma]]]]

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Rus and Clau. Lucian as well.

* GagBoobs: Narika, with the only person with bigger breasts being Ruby.
** While not shown on-screen, Serina's sister, Nazuna, is hinted to be well-endowed, too.

* {{Gainaxing}}: There's so much jiggling in this game that it's taken up to the levels of parody. Even smaller-busted girls like Ellie bounce simply by ''breathing''!

* {{Irony}}: While the innuendo in the game is turned UpToEleven, the actual Classmating process simply involves the hero and heroine joining hands and focusing their thoughts on each other (although later cutscenes suggest other slightly more intimate contact such as head-patting). It's actually quite sweet.

* PantyShot: Being a fanservice-filled game, it's inevitable.

* AdultFear: In Chapter 3, a mother is forced to watch as a monster nearly kills her daughter.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Wake's hair is silver, Fuuko's is pink, Ellie's is green, Narika's is purple, Chloe's is red, Serina's is blue, Torri's hair is [[MultiColoredHair black and white]].

* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Though all of the school-related work is done offscreen.

''Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars'' is an RPG/Dating Sim hybrid created by Creator/SpikeChunsoft (of ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' and ''VisualNovel/ZeroEscape'' fame) released in Japan for the UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita and the UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 3DS}} in 2013 and in America in 2014. It is the second entry of the ''Conception'' series.

* InfantImmortality: Zig-zagged. On the gameplay side, you cannot die permanently -- if Wake's health hits zero, you are returned to the surface and lose a portion of your money, and if your Star Children's health or that of the heroines reaches zero, they revert to matryoshkas and fall unconscious respectively, only to spring back up at very low health once the battle's over. On the story side, however, there are discussions of Disciples who went into the Dusk Circles and never came out, some students are turned into monsters and must be killed, and even the Star Children are not immune to this: the second time Classmanting is tested results in the creation of Star Children, but they are unstable and disperse, and at the end of the game... [[spoiler:[[TheMagicGoesAway all the Star Energy in the world returns to the Star God, and the Star Children go with it]].]]

* DifficultySpike: The game is pretty easy until about 3/4 the way in, especially for those who take the time to develop their city and Star Children. The final chapter gets particularly brutal, as its associated dungeons are almost exclusively Light and Dark monsters which have an elemental advantage on you, regardless of your chosen heroine.

* YouWereTryingTooHard: A running theme while interacting with the Heroines. Scenes where they comment on how important it is to improve their relationship tend to only have a small impact on affect and/or no negative influence on mood. Conversations or events when they forget about that and just be friends with Wake lead to more affection and improved moods.
* ZettaiRyouiki:
** Every heroine except Feene, and the lowest it gets is skirting the line between A and B.
** Serina is just shy of being S, lacking only twin tails.

* GuideDangIt: Nearly a quarter of the character classes, and by extension a great many combo skills for the standard classes, are locked behind the use of rare consumable items. Said items are very rarely dropped by specific groups of otherwise generic enemies on specific floors of specific bonus dungeons. The game gives zero indication of their existence or where you might find them.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Wake and the heroines' hair colors.
** Wake is silver.
** Fuuko is pink.
** Ellie is green.
** Narika is purple.
** Chloe is red.
** Serina is blue.
** Torri is black and white.
** Feene is gold.
** Monsters as well: Ones significantly weaker than the party are dark blue, ones on par with the party are purple, ones much stronger than the party are red, and ones that are related to a current quest (either by defeating that monster or obtaining a certain item drop from it) are gold.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Or pink, or green, or purple, or half-black/half-white...

* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse, but eventually subverted. In their first scene together, Wake {{accidental|Pervert}}ly touches Serina's breast when she falls on him at the library. On top of slapping him hard for it and declaring she'll [[ThisIsUnforgivable never forgive him]], she keeps dredging it back up early on in her bonding events to remind him that she still hasn't. Eventually, though, she gets over it.

* ButThouMust: During your first trip into the dungeon, you encounter the first boss early, and Ruby orders you to flee. Your options are "No", "I won't run from an enemy", and "To Hell with that". [[TropesAreNotBad It works]] because Wake has much more personality than the usual lead for these games, and this gives the player a look into his thought process.

* FootFocus: Torri in the pool scene.

* HotTeacher: Chloe.

-->'''Fuuko:''' Just for that, you won't be allowed to taste our juices! (Yes, she's talking about juice boxes.)
-->'''Wake:''' "My sister's white dress was hanging on her bed when, suddenly, it wasn't white anymore!" (It was red with her blood.)

* LiteralMinded: Torri.
* LittlestCancerPatient: Millica.

* MacGuffinDeliveryService: [[spoiler:Wake and his team for Enzea.]]
* MadeOfIron: Feene's friend Raul.

* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Dusk Enzea.]]

* ShrinkingViolet: Narika.

* ThousandYardStare: The Berserker class.

''Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars'' is an RPG/Dating Sim hybrid created by Creator/SpikeChunsoft (of ''Franchise/DanganRonpa'' and ''VisualNovel/ZeroEscape'' fame) released in Japan for the UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita and the UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 3DS}} in 2013 and in America in 2014. It is the second entry of the ''Conception'' series.

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:[[VisualNovel/DanganRonpa Monokuma]]]]

** Serina. Type A. Though it borders on deconstruction, as her tsundere attitude stems from her being self-conscious about her body, and being compared to her older sister. She also acknowledges this, and apologizes whenever she says something unjustified.

* [[YouMeanXMas You Mean Starmas]]

** Serina. Type A. Though it borders on deconstruction, as her tsundere attitude is usually because she's self-conscious about her body and being compared to her older sister. She also acknowledges this and apologizes whenever she says something unjustified.
** Feene goes a little tsun towards her friend Raul when he teases her.

* TheUnfought: [[spoiler: Rhiod, even though he isn't really a villain, he's offed by TheDragon]].
* UselessUsefulSpell: Buffs and any status moves that don't cause Seal, since your damage output is already very good without their help. Seal gets zigzagged, as it's useful against tough enemies, but falls back into this trope against bosses.

* WellDoneSonGuy: Alec. His main reason for trying to be the best Disciple is for the sake of his father and so that he will be proud of him.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Or pink, or green, or purple, or half-black/half-white.

* YouWereTryingTooHard: A running theme while interacting with the Heroines. Scenes where they comment on how important it is to improve their relationship tend to only have a small impact on affect and no or negative influence on mood. Conversation or events when they forget about that and just be friends with Wake lead to more affection and improved moods.

** Every heroine except Feene and the lowest it gets is skirting the line between A and B.

** [[spoiler:Alec, after realising he'd killed a Disciple that had turned into a monster. He tries to play it off as [[IDidWhatIHadToDo inevitable]], but is rather affected by it.]]

** Possibly averted in the case of Wake, despite issuing him with the same teeth punching threats earlier in the story. When Chloe is teasing Wake about how Millica, the young girl at the hospital who idolizes Chloe, thinks that he is her boyfriend, Chlotz charges into the room and tells her to get ready for the concert, but doesn't make any comment about the fact that his sister is blushing heavily, talking about Wake being her boyfriend or that Wake is there in the first place. Really, if Chlotz ever approved of somebody dating his sister, it would be his best friend.
* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse, but eventually subverted. In their first scene together, Wake {{accidental|Pervert}}ly touches Serina's breast when she falls over on him at the library. On top of slapping him hard for it and declaring she'll [[ThisIsUnforgivable never forgive him for it]], she keeps dredging it back up early on in her bonding events to remind him that she still hasn't. Eventually, though, she gets over it.
* NewGamePlus: After beating the game you are able to load from that save file and start from the beginning or Chapter 7.

** Wake is ''extremely'' dense, as few of his dialogue options allow him to seriously pick up on and follow through with the heroines' hints at their love for him.
** Feene has him beat. Not only does she fail to pick up on several people being attracted to her despite apparently getting a lot of love letters (from both male ''and'' female students) on a regular basis, but she fails even to notice ''why'' they would be interested in her.

* OneHitKill: The effectively named, "God's Poke," ability allows Wake's team to instantly win battles against significantly weaker enemies while still earning full experience and money. It won't work if the weak enemies touches Wake's back.

* PowerLevels: The average ether count, according to Ruby, is 50. Depending on this level, Disciples have more success of creating a Star Child and it also affects whether or not a Disciple can survive in Labyrinths. Only the ether count of two characters is revealed in the game. The first being Chlotz, who has an above-average 60. The other being Wake, who has a very much above-average 1500. Needless to say, he has a 100% chance of making a Star Child with an S-Rank female and can enter and explore Labyrinths without any repercussions.

** Chloe Genus, who happens to be a genius. Chlotz Genus, on the other hand, is portrayed as an idiot but is shown to be rather intelligent when he correctly operates lab equipment without being shown how to.
** Torri, whose name is very similar to the Japanese word for bird, which is tori. Torri's dream is to fly like a bird.

* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: Wake's ether count is so ridiculously high that it causes said scale to explode.

* ReiAyanamiExpy: Torri. Her slow speech and complete lack of socialization skills stems from the fact that she spent pretty much all of her life before joining the party living in a lab.
* ReligionOfEvil: Heretics are a branch of former members of the church that have stolen brainwashing spells and plans to uses it to rebel against it.

* SealedEvilInACan: Dusk Spawners, the leading monsters residing in each dusk circles, will always revive no matter how many times it is killed. However it can be captured by a Sealing Matryoshka at the moment it reborns after you have defeated it.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Considered, but averted during the Harem Ending. [[spoiler:Wake realizes that being invited to the Star Conception Festival by all seven heroines will make it impossible to pick one without crushing the others and he decides to run away, but changes his mind for the sake of the one he plans to choose.]]
* SheIsAllGrownUp: Played with. Serina discovers a magic spell that allows her to "transform" into a version of herself that is taller, bustier and has a slightly deeper voice. It comes with the drawback of not allowing her to use her Star Energy and only lasts up to an hour. However, Wake states multiple times that he prefers Serina more when she's untransformed, despite everyone else liking her more when she is taller.

* ShoutOut: When Fuuko asks wake to help her investigate a ghost sighting one of the answers is, [[{{Franchise/Ghostbusters}} "I ain't afraid of no ghost!"]]

** Chief Ruby. She wants Wake and Chlotz to end up together, really bad. Also, most of the female students at the Academy--they want Alec and Wake to hook up.

** Wake is very supportive of Chlotz and Luce. He keeps encouraging Chlotz to keep trying, despite him already having bowed out to Alec, who Luce loves.
* SmallGirlBigGun: Torri uses a [[GatlingGood gatling gun]] called the Beehive to fight monsters.
* SoundtrackDissonance: The [[spoiler:human]] boss battle music is some very light pop with English lyrics that make ''no'' sense.

* StopHavingFunGuys: In-universe example. One of Chloe's fellow teachers, Mr. Watts, is a real stickler for the rules and acts as the primary antagonist of her character arc because she doesn't behave like a "proper" teacher.
* {{Stripperific}}: The girls' transformed clothes are tame for the most part... then there's Chloe's.

* TakeAThirdOption: During one of Serina's scenes, she asks Wake what he thinks her bra size is. In addition to directly answering the question in a couple ways, there's an option to say that it doesn't matter -- Serina is an S-rank, and that's all that matters to him.
* TeacherStudentRomance: Can happen between Wake and Chloe. Chlotz mentions that his sister is only a year older than him and it can also be taken that both he and Wake are the same age, so the relationship is more acceptable than most examples due to it having a one year age gap.
* TeenGenius: Chloe graduated from college at the top of her class and wrote a strategy manual adopted by the government at age 14.
