History VideoGame / BattleFantasia

* PantyShot: The result of Marco using his grab on Coyori.

* WrongGenereSavy: Marco does seem to know his RPG tropes: he insists on saving the game so he won't lose all the progress he made, looks for any possible switches or levers to open a potential entrance to a villain's lair and insists Cedric, who is smart but weak, provides support while he, who is armored, should go in front to tank the enemies. Alas, this is a fighting game...

** The cave stage is clearly modeled after a standard RPG cave, with the background showing a sword encased in crystal, a red treasure chest in a small islet and what appears to be a save point.

* StayInTheKitchen: Face's opinion on Olivia fighting to save her country.

%% * FragileSpeedster: Watson

%% * MightyGlacier: Donvalve, Deathbringer

* DamageSpongeBoss: Deathbringer. He clocks in at over 32,000 HP in a game where the average character has about ''3000''.

* EvilIsBurningHot: Deathbringer is constantly on fire, and only takes ScratchDamage from any attack where the player isn't in "Heat Up" mode.

* AnachronismStew: If this is a medieval fantasy setting, why does Texas and a wild west gunslinger exist?
** RuleOfCool, that's why.
** Considering the fact that they have a MaidCafe that serves sodas in this world...
** Not to mention that Urs has a MOTHERFUCKING LASER CHAINSAW THAT DOUBLES AS A VEHICLE SOMEHOW.

* StalkerWithACrush: Ashley towards Olivia, who justifiably has no idea who he is. Although he considers himself her "shadow" and only desires to protect Roselia's princess from harm, it's apparent he's got feelings for her.

* EvilIsBurningHot: Deathbringer is constantly on fire, and only takes ScratchDamage unless that player "Heats Up" to match.

On July 7th, 2015, the game will have a Steam release under the title of ''Battle Fantasia -Revised Edition-''.

* SpeechImpediment: Marco pronounces his "R"s like "W"s.
** Justified, he's a child.

* SteamPunk: Present in some areas, specially evident in Donvalve.

A fighting game released by Aksys and Arc System Works, the creators of ''VideoGame/{{Guilty Gear}}''. It was the first fighting game to be released by the company on the {{Xbox 360}} and {{PS3}}. It is set in a cookie-cutter [[FantasyKitchenSink Medieval Fantasy]] world, which serves as a contrast to Guilty Gear's and VideoGame/BlazBlue's heavy {{Science Fiction}} setting. The art style is [[AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield very colorful]] and [[HighFantasy heavily fantastical]], and the game's themes are much {{Lighter and Softer}} than its predecessor.

* DuelingGames: It had the great misfortune to come out alongside '''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'''.
** This is only true for the PSN version of the game which was released on December 22, 2009, The game was released in arcades on April 26, 2007. On an interesting note, Yoshiro Ono, producer of the ''Street Fighter 4'' series commented in an interview that Capcom wasn't interested in releasing a new SF game if it wasn't 3D, but he wasn't sure if it was possible to make a game with 3d graphics and keep the 2d "feeling" until they watched ''Battle Fantasia'' -- a game that in his words inspired the SF4 series

* ExecutiveMeddling: Inverted, in this case, the decisions could be considered to have made the game better, YMMV for the 1st one since the game was planned to be a traditional 2D sprite based fighting game but was decided that it had to use 3D graphics instead, since {{ArcSystemWorks}} didn't have a 3D game by the time, the 2nd one was the addition of the Heat Up system, afraid that the game was too different from the {{ArcSystemWorks}} formula, they asked for a mode that could allow more {{Combos}} options, leading to the Heat Up system which adds more depth and also more variety in gameplay since it's unique for every character

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The American {{PS3}} release was delayed over a year and forced to go download-only because SCEA does not allow retail discs without English voice acting.

* LighterAndSofter: This game takes place in a very colorful, medieval setting and much {{lampshade hanging}} takes place, in contrast to its predecessor.

* MightyGlacier: Donvalve, Deathbringer

* FragileSpeedster: Watson

** It should be noted tht Freed is not actually a Pirate, though he looks like one for being a (Flying) Ship Captain and having a Hook instead of a hand

** Even more prevalent in the official site, where each character has listed gear, items being carried and level. All for asthetic purpose, of course. The characters themselves also tend to lampshade this.

* HitPoints: While [[SubvertedTrope mainly shown for cosmetic effect]], in fighting games your characters do have set HPs, Battle Fantasia is the first to show them.

* RyuAndKen: Urs and Marco, Olivia and Odile/Dokurod.

Gameplay is also much slower than the ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' or ''BlazBlue'' series, resembling ''StreetFighter'' more than anything.
