Special mention goes to the December banners, which herald the start of a new main story arc but is immediately followed up by the festive Christmas and New Years banners.

'''Per wiki policy, Administrivia/SpoilersOff applies to Recap pages. All spoilers are unmarked!'''
!Main Story
The story mode is split into "Books" containing thirteen chapters, beginning in December of every year with two chapters, then one chapter a month thereafter until completing in November. At the start of every Book, an '''opening movie''' is published, animated in 3D (though with an occasional ArtShift to 2D) and generally setting up the book's conflict. From Book III onwards, there is a '''midpoint movie''' that releases with Chapter 8 or 9, and an '''ending movie''' after Chapter 13.

%% The Paralogue, Xenologue, and Tempest Trial trope sections are commented out until I can get to organising them in a way that doesn't give us like 40 folders of just a handful of tropes. Also so I can reread all of them.
!Paralogues and Xenologues
Paralogues are individual chapters set outside of the main story mode, often tied to the Special Heroes banners of the game, though occasionally they involve characters from New Heroes events. Xenologues are special chapters that tie directly to the main story, and are occasionally tied to New Heroes banners.
%%(Sort by theme if they're recurring banners (or tied into the main book in case of the pre-Book II paralogues) and then by chronological order if they're one-offs. Will probably put this on its own separate page because there's 65 paralogues at the time of drafting.)
----
!!Tropes That Apply to Paralogues in General:
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Several Paralogues during Book I and Book II are linked to New Heroes banners, and play out exactly like the earlier Book I chapters, with Veronica interacting with Heroes of another world and the Order being called to break to their contracts. Since Book II, however, Paralogues are almost exclusively linked to Special Heroes banners, and rarely have any connection to the main story plot.
* HolidayMode: The season staple paralogues for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, often involve heroes wearing bunny outfits, swimsuits, Halloween, or Christmas-themed costumes respectively.
* LighterAndSofter: Though hardly without its own share of drama or angst, since becoming largely linked to seasonal alts, Paralogues rarely have the same gravity or stakes as the Book stories do.
* MoodWhiplash: The release schedule usually alternates between the New Heroes banners attached to the story mode, and the Special Heroes banners attached to Paralogues, and though it's understood that the Paralogues are happening outside of the timeline of the Books, it doesn't make it any less jarring when the characters are facing a WhamEpisode in the main story, and then having their usual seasonal hijinks in a Paralogue. Special mention goes to the December banners, which herald the start of a new main story arc but is immediately followed up by the festive Christmas and New Years banners.
