History VideoGame / MoonRemixRPGAdventure

* BestialityisDepraved: Daia makes several romantic and/or lustful comments about Perogon, her pet monster.

''Moon: Remix RPG Adventure'' is an RPG (of sorts) created by Love-De-Lic for UsefulNotes/{{Playstation}} in 1997. It is especially notable for how it heavily spoofs the genre conventions of [=JRPGs=], especially of [[UsefulNotes/The16bitEraOfConsoleVideoGames the 16-bit Era]], and even plays around with elements of {{Postmodernism}}, making it an almost, but not quite {{Parody Video Game|s}}.

* ArcWords: Along with "love," "open the door" also shows up a lot. [[spoiler:[[RedHerring Despite how it looks like]], the door is not the on on the Moon, blocked by tablets. It's actually the door in the boy's bedroom.]]

* GuideDangIt: Figuring out what to do at the beginning takes some effort, as you have to talk to [=NPCs=] multiple times for some event flags to trigger, the schedule is too long for the amount of energy you have, and there's no warning that running out of energy kills you unless you talk to a purple bird, who's also on a schedule and easily missed.
** Most things in the game are alluded to, but the crypticness or ambiguity with which they are doesn't mean this trope is averted in the slightest.
** One of particular note is how to build the perfect firework [[spoiler: hinted at in an incomplete Rumrom tablet/chip; the player must use unintuitive math to arrive at the solution...if they even found the tablet in the first place.]]
** Another is finding all the Sacrifice Animals. They're in rooms in Technopolis. The problem? Technopolis has 999 rooms (yes, really) and there are six total. A couple aren't in said rooms, but the vast majority are. ''Even if you get the room number right'', which all but requires a guide, they only appear at ''certain times of day.''
** The White-feathered arrow, to the point where the official guide even says that it has no use. You can find out certain backstory-related information, at least earlier, with it. Yoshida, who typically provides information on items, simply states he "doesn't like the look of it." The rumrom/slate/chip that you found with it provides no clues on how to actually use the item. There are two other characters that have a unique response to it; [[spoiler: the Minister, who recognizes it but in surprise pretends not to, and Bilby, the guard, who gives you the more interesting information, but only when he's at Wanda's bar. Any indication you're supposed to show it to him? Nope.]]

* {{Expy}}: A few monsters are Expies of ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' monsters.

* ThePowerOfLove: An integral part of the game. While closer to ThePowerOfFriendship in-game, you win "Love Points" by helping [=NPCs=], and these points allow you to survive longer in this world. [[spoiler:You even help the Hero at times.]]

* AntiEscapismAesop: [[spoiler:The ending. Turns out that the true "door" to open was not the one on the moon, but the door in the kid's bedroom.]]

* AttackAttackAttack: PlayedForLaughs: At the end of the "Fake" segment, the hero keeps attacking the Dragon at 9999 damage per turn. Eventually, the hero not only prevents the dragon from having a turn but even attacks before the battle message finishes scrolling. This frequency increases until The Boy's mother tells him to stop playing and go to bed. [[spoiler:Takes a much darker turn during the ending, where the Hero just keeps slaughtering everyone with [[NoKillLikeOverkill insanely powerful attacks]], with no one able to stop him.]]

* {{BFS}}: Played with. The Hero's sword isn't actually *that* large, but the sheath is.

* DisguisedInDrag: In the "Fake Moon" segment, the Hero must pass Rainbow Rocks by wearing "Legendary Armor". In Love-De-Gard, its revealed that [[spoiler:the Legendary Armor is panties on the Hero's head and bras.]]

*** The maps and battle GUIs are pretty much lifted off the ''Dragon Quest'' games.

** Noge, an exchange student from Toyland, closely resembles [[VidheoGame/SuperMarioRPG Geno]].

* BlandNameProduct: GameStation. It even looks nearly identical to a PlayStation.

* {{Expy}}: A few monsters are Expies of VideoGame/DragonQuest monsters.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: THis trope is a very strong element that distinguishes the "Fake" segments from the "Real" segments. In one case, the Hero fights a Stray Dog in the "Fake" segment, but the "Real" segment reveals that [[spoiler: he was chasing around a dog that belonged to someone. Thankfully, the dog avoids getting hurt.]].

A couple aren't in said rooms, but the vast majority are. *Even if you get the room number right*, which all but requires a guide, they only appear at *certain times of day.*

* ShoutOut: There are several references to VideoGame/DragonQuest. Three monsters The Boy catches are [[{{Expy}} Expies]] of the Slime and Dracky enemies, specifically.

** The Hero's sword resembles the [[FinalFantasyVII Buster Sword, complete with the two slots for materia.]]

-->''"Hey! Stop playing that game, and go to bed!"''

* BFS: Played with. The Hero's sword isn't actually *that* large, but the sheath is.

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: In full view, the Hero kills one monster by using a lightning spell that turns the monster into a charred corpse. He then kills another monster by cutting the monster's body with a sword.

-->-- The Boy's mom. The first [[spoiler:and last]] words of the game.
