History YMMV / DragaliaLost

** "[[Recap/DragaliaLostScarsOfTheSyndicate Scars of the Syndicate]]": [[MadScientist The Doctor]] is a major figure of TheSyndicate, a group dealing with shady {{fusion|Dance}} experiments. He and his group have raided many hamlets [[ForScience just to further their goals and to gather test subjects]]. He had a peculiar fixation to the term "[[CardCarryingVillain evil]]"; he even describes it as sacrificing moral standing to further advance civilization. Failures such as the event character Aldred, from a botched fusion with the dragon Barbatos, are seen as rubbish to the Doctor. When [[Characters/DragaliaLostThePrinceEuden Prince Euden]] gets involved, the Doctor tells him about a being of calamity, Aspidochelone, and proposes to have the Prince fuse with it. Euden declines and seeks to take it down, which meant taking out one of the Doctor's manticores with Aldred's help to access the lair; unfortunately for Aldred, said manticore was his sister. The Doctor later lures Euden and his group to a nearby village into a trap that creates a powerful barrier, just so he can make the proposal again. Once Aldred saves the group, the Doctor decides that if the Prince won't fuse with Aspidochelone, he'll just fuse himself with the fiend and take them on. He meets his end at the hands of Euden and Aldred, but not without telling them that [[MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning his death will only further the Syndicate's goals]].

** Gala Emile's Adventurer Story: Werner appears posing as Emile's minister in the Dyrenell empire, [[spoiler:which Emile is now emperor of. However, Werner was actually feigning loyalty in order to poison Emile and [[TyrantTakesTheHelm take the throne for himself]], having Emile thrown into the river to drown. After that, Werner taxes the people of Dyrenell so heavily that they can hardly feed themselves, and he puts all that money toward going to war with Saint Lotier, which the citizens state they don't even want. Werner also has Magnus imprisoned and nearly executed for standing up to his tyrannical rule.]]

** Main Campaign: [[ItsAllAboutMe Xenos]], aka [[RealityWarper The Progenitor]], is a [[GodIsEvil vengeful God]] who views humans as mere tools for him to use. Xenos was once a kind God who saw good things in humanity, but when they proved to be evil, Xenos grew angry. Xenos [[OmnicidalManiac committed omnicide]] many times, and after being fed up with the way humanity was, he decided to take into his own hands and create a world where [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill humanity doesn't have free will]] and are mindless slaves for Xenos to use as he wishes. Xenos even discarded his own heart, viewing it as useless, leaving him incapable of feeling positive emotions. In the present day, Phares, who was desperate for a cure for his deadly Wyrmscale disease, [[DealWithTheDevil struck a deal with Xenos]], only for Xenos to backstab him and [[DemonicPossession take control of his body]]. Knowing that Xenos would re-awaken soon, the Northern Church of Grastaea tried summoning {{Satan}} to stop him, though Xenos helped them, knowing that it would backfire. Eventually, Xenos re-awakens, destroying the entire multiverse just to create an individual world in which [[ControlFreak he gets all the say]]. Prince Euden, who is part of Xenos' long-lost heart, tries to convince Xenos that there really is good in humanity and that he never gave them a proper chance, only for Xenos to deny he is in the wrong. Even after losing the final battle, Xenos still tries to mess with the heroes' attempts to fix some of the damage that Xenos caused, showing just how much of a SoreLoser Xenos really is. Cold and ruthless, Xenos will stop at nothing to fulfill his own twisted ambitions.

** [[ControlFreak Xenos]], aka [[ItsAllAboutMe The Progenitor]], is a vengeful God who views humans as mere tools for him to use. Xenos was once a kind God who saw good things in humanity, but when humanity proved to be evil, Xenos grew angry. Xenos [[OmnicidalManiac committed omnicide]] many times, and after being fed up with the way humanity was, he decided to take into his own hands and create a world where [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill humanity doesn't have free will]] and are mindless slaves for Xenos to use as he wishes. Presently, he views humans with free will as trash, and believes that having a world where he gets to decide everything is the only world that should exist. Xenos even discarded his own heart, viewing it as useless; this literally makes him incapable of feeling positive emotions. At the end of the game, after Xenos is reawakened, he destroys the entire multiverse, and can [[RealityWarper alter reality]] in a way so that he always wins.

* EvilIsSexy:
** The design of Ciella, the Agito of Water, ''definitely'' falls into this trope, though beyond her, Volk has a following behind him in this regard, and even Kai Yan and Tartarus aren't hard on the eyes at all.
*** Nedrick, the leader of the Agito, amassed many, many fangirls before he was even properly revealed.
** Many also feel this way about The Other, whether it be possessing Zethia, its "true" human-esque form, or [[spoiler: the burning hatred form expelled from The Other's original form Mordecai introduced in the Forgotten Truths Event.]]
** Leading up to the 2nd Anniversary, several illustrations were posted of the various characters in the game with fancy clothing. One of those was Chronos Nyx with a suit and tie, which lots of fans greatly appreciated.
*** In general, Chronos Nyx was bordering on [[MemeticMutation memetic levels]] of how much he's seen as this, exacerbated by him making use of very showy and colorful poses. This got a resurgence too once he was shown to be playable and still seeming to be like his usual self.
** Akasha, while playable, is the resident TokenEvilTeammate, as she IS still technically trying to summon The Ancient One to unleash chaos and destruction upon the land. But most fans don't care about that due to her voluptuous figure, outfit that emphasizes said figure, sultry eyes, and an incredibly alluring voice in both English and Japanese.
** The Archdemons in Rise of the Sinister Dominion are initially fought as evil versions of the North Grastaea Archangels[[note]]Ramiel, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and Michael[[/note]], and since the good versions are all extremely handsome and/or pretty, the same goes for this group (though Fallen Angel Uriel especially caught wind among fans).
*** Otherworld Ramiel, being a mere palette swap of the good version of Ramiel, was likewise heavily embraced by thirsty fans as a prelude of what was to come later.
*** Iblis, even outside of his Fallen Angel vessel, has been shown to be very handsome.
** Tsukuyomi from the "Celestial Showdown" event is quite voluptuous, complete with an outfit that shows off her legs and breasts in a revealing outfit.
** As soon as Xenos, [[spoiler:the Progenitor's true form]] showed up, he immediately got this reaction from the fanbase, thanks in large part to his open coat showing off his bulging chest.

** Tsukuyomi from the "Celestial Showdown" event is quite voluptuous, complete with an outfit that shows off her legs in a revealing (and form-fitting) kimono.

** Euden is meant to be an avatar character that’s meant to be akin to a modern ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' protagonist, who can be either male or female. He is InTouchWithHisFeminineSide and is never shown to be sexually attracted to anyone. Many fans found it weird that the game didn’t come with the option to make the protagonist male or female, since you get to name him, other Gacha games like it such as ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' have that option, “Euden” sounds like a fairly gender-neutral name, and [[HalfIdenticalTwin Zethia]] exists, so we already have a general idea of what a female Euden would look like. That is why some like to headcanon Euden as being non-binary or gender-fluid, in order to compensate for this. Not helping is Euden’s similarities to both [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Mordred]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}} Anne Boonchuy]], both of whom have also been viewed as being trans.
