History VideoGame / JojosBizarreAdventureThe7thStandUser

* OptionalPartyMember: Chaos Mode gives the option of recruiting Rainbow as a party member if you rest a day after meeting the Joestars and asking her to come along. Additionally if you took the Submarine route and let Hol Horse go, a masked man named "[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyLegendII Mask]]" with all of Hol Horse's powers will be in the pub and available for Hire if you don't go after Dio immediately.

** Mista, Bruno, Abbacchio, Fugo and Narancia all appear in Cairo on varying days.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: After finding where Cameo is hiding on the Deserted Island, a female protagonist will not take a piss inside his breathing tube. Instead, she'll pour a whole bottle of ''soy sauce'' in it.

*** If you have the stand Carpenters and fix the plane after it crashes near Hong Kong, or simply suggest to charter a private jet, as opposed to going by sea, [[spoiler:there's a good chance that you'll be treated to a scene of your plane flying towards Egypt but your flight being intercepted by Pet Shop, [[VideoGame/TakeshisChallenge with the on-screen text commenting that your plane blew up mysteriously]] over Egypt, along with the scene of the Crucaders' and the [[VideoGame/TakeshisChallenge Salaryman]]'s funeral.]] Additionally, on rare cases, you can get this by simply [[PressXToDie departing to Egypt.]]

* BalancingDeathsBooks: The nature of human life explained in the game. Certain people must die, because their "energies" are returned to the system at an allocated time. [[spoiler:In the Everyone Lives ending, you can have Alicia drain the people who "would have died anyways" because of Dio, or the GoldenEnding has you draining Dio and his servants enough that nobody else has to die.]]

* Bossrush: After finding DIO's mansion and heading back to Cairo, the player can meet The Scribe Ani (from the ''Genesis of Universe'' side novel) who starts up a Boss Rush with most of DIO's prior minions when interracted with.

** Several fights against Dio will be between him and Jotaro only depending on which route you're on. In addition, the [[spoiler: Mad World]] ending will be between him and the protagonist only, and the [[spoiler: Senator Wilson Philips]] ending will be between him and [[spoiler: Senator Wilson Phillips]] only.

** [[spoiler: The Mad World ending requires you to defeat an army of bosses consisting of Jotaro, Joseph, Kakyoin, and Vins with her zombies alongside Dio. Then after that, you have to beat the strongest version of Dio in the game (you can bring 30 UV Flash Grenades with you to make this fight easier). All clear? [[SarcasmMode Well done]], enjoy the screams of the innocents the protagonist killed and the sound of empty wastelands.]]

** [[spoiler: The Succesion ending (can be achieved after completing the game more than 3 times) requires taking Alicia and Berlin with you and collect more than 45 evil spirit while defeating Terence, Vanilla Ice, Dio, and Vins, while keeping Alicia alive (because if she died, she'll use a spirit to revive herself). This is the only ending where everyone is alive without consenquences.]]

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:If your bad karma is high enough, you can actually betray the Joestars and side with Dio. Not to mention if your friendship points are high enough, you can convince Polnareff and Kakyoin to betray the Joestars too.]] [[spoiler:You can even take it a step further and [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betray DIO]].]]

** [[spoiler:Taking them as your allies into Dio's Mansion takes it even further, since as far as the other Crusaders know, the protagonist went into the mansion alone.]]

* HellIsThatNoise: Once in Edfu, if you go to the bottom left corner of the map, your character will remark about a noise. The closer you go, the more ear-grating it is. The noise makes you lose SP. Reaching the source of the noise will trigger a battle with a servant of Dio.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Dio is subjected to an absurdly enormous and cathartic dose of this during the [[spoiler:Dark End EverybodyLives route]]. The protagonist has the potential to recruit a trio of [[spoiler:Ripple warrior homunculi who are powered by his many, many future victims from Stardust Crusaders' climax. Their attacks would be modestly effective against most foes, but since Dio is a vampire, their Ripple techniques are utterly devastating when they hit. In addition, you can potentially recruit facsimiles of Lisa Lisa, Caesar, Will A. Zepelli, and even Jonathan Joestar; people whose lives were either ruined or outright ended by Dio and his minions]].

* LifeEnergy: [[spoiler:The method behind Alicia and Berlin bringing the Ripple Warriors back to 'life'. In the 'Everybody Lives' endings, the protagonist helps them drain Terence D'Arby, Vanilla Ice, Dio, and Vins of their life energies and redistribute it so that no one dies in the final battle. If they didn't get enough, however, it leads to a bad ending where it's heavily implied [[YouCantFightFate everyone who should have died will be killed in a similar manner.]]]]

* MetalSlime: Overdrives and Ripple Warriors in Cairo. They look like the regular "Automatic Stand" or "Martial artist" enemies, are hard to reach since unlike any enemy, Overdrives run away from the player and are fast while Ripple Users can cross half the screen in one jump and move all over the place. In addition, they have lots of HP, high defenses and very strong attacks that can severly damage a level 50 character. But they have the best XP and money drop and, in addition, Overdrives are the enemy with the highest chance to raise FP with Iggy and Ripple Warriors can drop the Ripple Gale skillbook, which makes battles against [[spoiler: Kars, Wamuu, Vanilla Ice (provided the 7th Stand user faces him), Dio and Vins]] much easier.

* NonActionGuy: [[spoiler:Alicia and Berlin, two of Steel's allies and the instigators of the Ripple Warriors subplot. Neither of their Stands are combat proficient, which presents a problem when the protagonist follows their plan and Vins sneak attacks them, resulting in their deaths. The only way for them to live along with everyone else is to bring them as your allies to Dio's mansion, which changes the fights into something they can handle.]]

* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the aptly named 'Sacrifice' ending, the protagonist, dying from the wounds they endured, attempts to destroy Dio's Diary by jumping into the river. Not only is their body recovered, but the book is still intact.]]

* VillainRespect: BonusBoss Wammu gives this if you have Joseph in the party, after you beat him; he tells Joseph to remember the Ripple warrior he was, and that he defeated THEM, the Pillar Men. And Dio is just a vampire.

** To a lesser extent, [[spoiler: The Exchange Ending, where the PlayerCharacter lives through the Sacrifice Ending by transferring their memories to another world self. All of the innocent civilians in Egypt still die through multiple accidents, but the crusaders is stated to be doing completely fine.]]

* BossInMookClothing: Evil Ripple Users in Cairo.

* TheCameo: Characters from parts other than ''Stardust Crusaders'' can be found in certain areas. [[spoiler:Some of them, like Stroheim, Speedwagon, and Dire, will even join your party temporarily.]] Vins explains that a lot of the timeline was starting to blend together because she was starting to have trouble keeping the order of things straight, and as Observer, this was making the events happen simultaneously.
** Giorno appears during the prologue in the airport in Japan or in the smaller hotel in Singapore.
** Shigechi is at the schoolyard with a pet cat.
** Josuke and Okuyasu appear at a restaurant in Japan and in a classroom and toilet respectively after fighting Kakyoin.
** Koichi appears inside the school library.

** Aya Tsuji lets you change your appearance or stand in her salon "Cinderella" in Japan. She also appears west of the cable car station in Singapore.

** Rohan appears in every town, either at the hotel the crusaders are resting at or at a restaurant.

** Proscuitto and Pesci are sitting inside the train to Calcutta. [[spoiler: You can even have Pesci join you to fight against Satanic Coupler, a novel exclusive character.]]

** [[spoiler:Diavolo]] appears as a RecurringBoss on your second playthrough and up.

** Mikitaka appears in Joseph's ending. Yoshihiro Kira can be seen there as well with certain Stands.

** The Sacrifice Ending, in which [[spoiler:you choose to fight alone through the entire DIO's Mansion, obtain his diary, and kill both DIO and Vins, only to succumb to your wounds at dawn and throw yourself at the river with the diary in hands, hoping to take it down with you. Your body is recovered quickly after, and the diary delivered to Joseph, who reads it with the Crusaders, thus ensuring Part 6 to happen as your efforts were for naught]].

** Stroheim and Speedwagon, provided you found them in the Harbor and Calcutta, stick with you for the whole duration of the Submarine route. If you didn't, they will be replaced by two SPW Foundation agents.

* OffTheRails: You can do this many, many, ''many'' times in the game. [[spoiler:It's also the reason Vins wants you dead.]]

''[[http://7thjojo.tumblr.com/post/98202338885/after-several-months-in-the-making-the-7th-stand Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: The 7th Stand User]]'' is a fan game made by Clayman for the [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure massively influential manga]]. It's an RPG in which you are given 1 of 18 different Stands by a mysterious benefactor known only as "Steel", based on your answers to a personality quiz given at the beginning. Using this Stand, you join [[MultipleEndings (or don't join)]] the main characters of ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'' as they journey to Egypt in order to kill DIO and cure Holly of her Stand-induced sickness. Everything starts out like the source material does, but make the right decisions and events will diverge, [[GoldenEnding for better]] or [[DownerEnding for worse]].

!!''[=JoJo's=] Bizarre Adventure: The 7th Stand User'' provides examples of the following tropes:

** If you visit Cairo's marketplace on Day 42, you'll find Abbacchio selling his [[ToiletHumor "tea"]], that can be [[DungFu thrown at enemies]].

** Ver 2.5 added an additional mode for those that cleared the game 5 times, along with [[CashGate having the maximum amount of money in the game]] ([[spoiler:though you don't have to clear the game 5 times if you have the required money by the time you reach Developer's Room]]), called Chaos Mode, which derails the plot even further and even has the potential to change the protagonist's backstory if the RNG feels like it.

** Daniel J. D'arby. In the original manga, he was a formidable opponent who easily defeated Polnareff and Joseph and was only taken down through a long battle of wits between Jotaro and himself. In addition, Jotaro only caught him cheating once; every other time was after the game had already ended. Here, while D'arby still defeats Polnareff and Joseph, he instead falls to the player, who actually manages to ''catch him cheating.'' Or, while unlikely, they can also just legitimately beat him in poker. [[spoiler: Or, in Chaos Mode, he could simply lose the bet against Polnareff, before the Crusaders even found out that he was the enemy!]]

** If you visit Cairo's marketplace on Day 42, you'll find Abbacchio selling his [[ToiletHumor "tea"]], that can be [[DungFu thrown at enemies]].

** Ver 2.5 added an additional mode for those that cleared the game 5 times, along with [[CashGate having at least the maximum amount of money in the game]], called Chaos Mode, which derails the plot even further and even has the potential to change the protagonist's backstory if the RNG feels like it.

*** If you have the stand Carpenters and fix the plane after it crashes near Hong Kong, or simply suggest to charter a private jet, as opposed to going by sea, [[spoiler:there's a good chance that you'll be treated to a scene of your plane flying towards Egypt but your flight being intercepted by Pet Shop, [[VideoGame/TakeshisChallenge with the on-screen text commenting that your plane blew up]] mysteriously over Egypt, along with the scene of the Crucaders' and the [[VideoGame/TakeshisChallenge Salaryman]]'s funeral.]] Additionally, on rare cases, you can get this by simply [[PressXToDie departing to Egypt.]]

** The player and the protagonist are this for [[spoiler:Vins]], the former because [[spoiler:he forcibly kicked her out of her position as "observer" of fate and thus blocking the power of Hanoi Rocks over fate]], the latter because [[spoiler:she's a wild card that threatens the canon timeline to be rewritten without Vins observing it, thus preveting the ''Stone Ocean'' events, or at least the "birth" of Made In Heaven, to happen.]]

-->-- '''Steel bestowing the 7th Stand User their Stand.'''

* MetalSlime: Overdrives and Evil Ripple Users in Cairo. They look like the regular "Automatic Stand" or "Martial artist" enemies, are hard to reach since unlike any enemy, Overdrives run away from you and are fast while Ripple Users can cross half the screen in one jump and move all over the place. When you manage to reach them, they have lots of HP, high defenses and very strong attacks that can severly damage a level 50 character. But they have the best XP and money drop and, in addition, Overdrives are the enemy with the highest chance to raise FP with Iggy and Ripple Users can drop the [[ThePowerOfTheSun Ripple Gale skillbook]].

** Mista, Bruno, Abbacchio, Fugo and Narancia all appear in Cairo on varying days. Abbacchio even opens a shop, selling his "tea"!

* CallBack: Of course, BonusBoss Creator will give his entire {{Engrish}} spiel from ''[[VideoGame/MakaiToshiSaga The Final Fantasy Legend]]'', but if you unlock True Clayman and ask to fight her for real, she'll quote the same lines.

* ShoutOut: The game's spriting style is based on The Final Fantasy Legend, a.k.a. ''VideoGame/MakaiToshiSaga'' for the original Game Boy. It retains the black-and-white coloration of that game (and all other Game Boy games) not only for stylistic purposes, but to make it easier for the game's creator to use artwork taken from the original JJBA manga as enemy sprites and other things in the game. [[spoiler:You can even fight The Creator, the last boss of ''FFL'' / ''Makai Toshi [=SaGa=]'', whose overworld sprite was the base for Speedwagon's.]] (That said, it's not a ''complete'' throwback to the Game Boy, given how much more advanced the audio, resolution, and special effects all are. For one thing, there ''are'' limits to what can be accomplished with RPG Maker.)
** The Stand Caravan lets you enter a PocketDimension that actually is part of ''VideoGame/MakaiToshiSaga'', with enemies, shops, and an inn from that game. TimeStandsStill inside, so staying doesn't count against you, but it is expensive.

* AdaptationalWimp: Daniel J. D'arby. In the original manga, he was a formidable opponent who easily defeated Polnareff and Joseph and was only taken down through a long battle of wits between Jotaro and himself. In addition, Jotaro only caught him cheating once; every other time was after the game had already ended. Here, while D'arby still defeats Polnareff and Joseph, he instead falls to the player, who actually manages to ''catch him cheating.'' Or, while unlikely, they can also just legitimately beat him in poker. [[spoiler: Or, in Chaos Mode, he could simply lose the bet against Polnareff, before the Crusaders even found out that he was the enemy!]]

*** Having Jotaro smoke [[RealityEnsues 1000 times.]]

** Mista, Bruno, Abbacchio, Fugo and Narancia all appear in Cairo on warying days. Abbacchio even opens a shop, selling his "tea"!

** [[RefusalOfTheCall Refusing]] to accompany the Crusaders to Egypt, which leads to [[spoiler:the protagonist being blown up by Kira]].

*** Having [[spoiler: [[RealityEnsuesJotaro smoke 1000 times.]]]]

** Giorno appears during the prologue in the airport in Japan.

** The Passione gang can be found sitting at a table in a restaurant at Hong Kong. Young Joseph, Part 2 Erina and Smokey are also sitting nearby.

** Susie Q and Reimi with her dog Arnold are seen taking a bath in the Chaos Mode exclusive Hot Spring. You can also find Lisa Lisa, Yukako and Trish on the women's bath and Josuke, Okuyasu, Koichi and Rohan in men's bath.

** Fugo and Narancia appear in Cairo.

** Chaos Mode adds in a few more, most of which double as NonStandardGameOver.

** In Chaos Mode, having Jotaro smoke 1000 times is a ''[[RealityEnsues really bad idea]]''.

* NonStandardGameOver: In Chaos Mode, having Jotaro smoke 1000 times is a ''[[RealityEnsues really bad idea]]''.

* RealityEnsues: If you play as a female protagonist and follow the manga route, your character will be forced to wear a chador (a body-covering garment) during your time in Saudi Arabia due to Muslim laws regarding women's clothing. Oddly enough, this doesn't apply when you go through Pakistan, India and Egypt, though the latter can be [[HandWave handwaved]] with a less strict law in order to not deter foreign tourists.

** Tamami Kobayashi is at Japan with a bag containing a cat aside of him.

** The Passione gang can be found sitting at a table in a restaurant at Hong Kong.

** Ver 2.5 added an additional mode for those that cleared the game 5 times, along with [[CashGate having at least the maximum amount of money in the game]], called Chaos Mode, which derails the plot even further and even has the potential to change the protagonist's backstory if the RNG feels like it. It's yet to be translated though.

** To a lesser extent, [[spoiler: The Exchange Ending, where the PlayerCharacter lives through the Sacrifice Ending by transferring their memories to another world self. All of the innocent civillians in Egypt still dies through multiple accidents, but the crusaders is stated to be doing completely fine.]]

** Glitching yourself past the triggers for the Kakyoin battle and when Holy collapses using either Howlin' Wolf or Wildhearts lets you talk with some of the npcs, who humorously [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] parts of the story and lets you explore the rest of the Kujo house.

** If your bad karma is high enough, you can choose to [[spoiler:betray the Joestars and join DIO in ruling the world. You can also get Polnareff and Kakyoin to betray them too if their FP is high enough. You will be faced against your former companions, and defeating them will result in their deaths, and Holy (and presumably 4-year-old Josuke in Morioh) is guaranteed dead as well]].

* AdaptationDistillation: While the game is mostly faithful to the plot of the original manga, the Oingo Boingo Brothers' role was greatly reduced. Oingo doesn't appear on the standard route at all, and Boingo only appears after Hol Horse partners up with him. An event involving Polnareff and Jotaro in Aswan implies that the protagonist wasn't around when Oingo attacked.

* AllThereInTheManual: Information regarding the Stand users created for the game is found in the Debug Room.

** If you choose to skip (King Crimson) the Devo fight with a party member who is not Polnareff, a scene will play where the rest of the crusaders wait for him to arrived so they can discuss what should they do next.
