History VideoGame / AtelierLuluaTheScionOfArland

* MundaneUtility: Rorona reveals that the [[PhilosophersStone Philosopher's Pie]] ([[InconsistentDub originally translated as the "Ruby Pie"]] back in ''[[VideoGame/AtelierRoronaTheAlchemistOfArland Rorona]]'') was the item she canonically turned in as her final assignment item and encourages Lulua to do the same as a way of demonstrating Rorona's own "purpose in life" (not clearly stated, but suggested to be "love for the people around her"). Everyone around her is still mystified that she'd used the ultimate goal of all alchemists to make a pie. Lulua later follows up by making a Philosopher's ''Curry'' with the exact same flagrant misapplication of such a vital artifact.

* OrphanageOfLove: The Armster Orphanage in Arklys is run by Father Benon, a FriendToAllChildren who does everything he can to make sure the orphans are happy and safe. Eva currently lives at the orphanage, and Lulua originally hailed from there before Rorona adopted her; while Lulua is undoubtedly living a happier life now that she'd been adopted, she still feels heavily indebted to the orphanage and shows up often to help out.

** Following the tradition of someone in an Arland game getting [[KissingUnderTheInfluence ridiculously drunk and dangerously affectionate]], Piana starts affectionately hugging and choking Lulua. Fortunately(?) for Lulua, Piana is a little more gentle than her predecessors, only clutching her a bit too tightly and insisting on giving her a little smooch.

** After previous games had built up ShipTease between Rorona and Sterk, ''Lulua'' pretty much does away with the "tease" part and has Lulua outright suspect that Sterk is harboring feelings for Rorona. Their character event chains become linked together by the end of the game, culminating in them having their own shared MaybeEverAfter ending that stands out for not even having Lulua herself in it. Even if one tries to interpret it in the least romantic light possible, it's still PlatonicLifePartners at ''minimum''.

* TheArtifact: The game's time mechanics are an artifact of the way older installments were [[TimeManagementGame Time Management Games]]. Even the time limits for optional sidequests have now been removed; time beyond the day-night cycle is used only for two minor recurring yearly events. The only indication of how much time might be passing in-universe is that the arm-wrestling events with Sterk have three variants, suggesting that the game takes place over four years, but since the player has no constraints on their time, you can theoretically trigger them whenever (and as often) as you want.
