Added DiffLines:

* ExponentialPotential: All characters are free to learn skills from any Specialties, with each Specialty containing about twenty skills. By the postgame superboss, most characters will have mastered two Specialties, giving them about forty skills. Fortunately, the developer accounted for skill bloat by allowing the player to place unused skills in storage, preventing them from cluttering up the menu.

* DifficultySpike: The post-game requires a lot more grinding than the main story, though the developer increased the experience rate of post-game enemies to make it less tedious.

Capella's Promise is a 2014 RPG Maker VX Ace game made by Plainsoft and translated to English by vgperson.

Two slave traders, Velk and Thiana, are paid a huge sum of money to look after a wheelchair-bound girl, Shena. Unfortunately, this deal turns out too good to be true when the Emissaries show up demanding to take Shena, who turns out to have a huge bounty. Thiana is arrested, but not before telling Velk to escape with Shena into the outside world, which will be quite challenging considering neither have any experience with life outside slave markets. During their journey in Ilnacia, Velk and Shena will meet other colorful allies, including others with unexplained bounties on their heads, driving them to discover the truth behind the government's shady behavior.

* AfterCombatRecovery: After each battle, the party will recover HP and MP based on Velk's level.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Zanara kills his father and takes control of the Mother, leading to him waging war against his own people using his Hute army.]]
* CainAndAbel: Prince Wolt and Prince Zanara are set up as this, with the former opposing the latter's obsession with tinkering with life. [[spoiler:Velk turns out to be their half-brother, but Zanara is never really set up as a personal enemy for him.]]
* CharacterCustomization: In addition to the Specialty skill system, characters can equip Megalomas, which determine their stat increases upon leveling up.
* DevelopersForesight: Due to certain events making Fort Pana inaccessible, two of the sidequests there can be missed. However, later versions of the game make it so that you'll get the reward even if you didn't complete the quests in time.
* DifficultySpike: The post-game requires a lot more grinding than the main story, though the developer increased the experience rate of post-game enemies to make it less tedious.
* DirtyCop: The Emissaries took hush money from Thiana and Velk's illegal slave trading agency and eventually betrayed them when Thiana wouldn't hand over Shena. [[spoiler:This is a more NecessaryEvil example than most, since Mares and Vargas needed to use underground connections to hide Velk and Shena from the king.]]
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Felcira, the ultimate Hute, awakens in the post-game to finish what Mother started.]]
* FusionDance: The Mother's sole purpose is to fuse talented people into powerful monsters known as Hutes. [[spoiler:Worse yet, she can fuse those Hutes into even stronger hutes. Even worse yet, Zanara fuses with the Mother herself, resulting in an intelligent and godlike war machine.]]
* GuideDangIt: In the post-game, Hanna can only be recruited if the Ancient Beast from Sanuzam Ruins is defeated, even though nothing seems to indicate this. This is especially jarring considering that Filip can be recruited simply by learning about Felcira.
* HiddenElfVillage: The village of Meusta is secluded from the rest of Ilnacia because outsiders aren't ready for their advanced Garman technology.
* HumanSacrifice: The village of Distana has to perform one to weaken the dragon, Vritra. [[spoiler:Strangely, Folow's sacrifice was enough to weaken the dragon even though he's a wolf.]]
* ItCanThink: [[spoiler:Mother is eventually revealed to have a mind of its own, though it's implied this is caused by Zanara's fusion with her.]]
* LevelGrinding: Unlike most examples, it's technically possible to grind levels infinitely thanks to how the Recursion Stone item lowers the level of all party members by 3 if Velk is at a high enough level.
* RandomlyGeneratedLoot: Wooden chests will have randomly generated items, along with equipment with randomly generated stats and passive abilties. However, certain compass items can increase the chances of getting specific types of items.
* {{Sidequest}}: The Progress option in the main menu provides a list of sidequests. Additionally, most sidequest related [=NPCs=] will have a talk bubble over their heads to make quests easy to find. However, all the optional post-game content doesn't fall under the quest system.
* SkillScoresAndPerks: Characters can spend SP to learn different Specialties, allowing them to learn new skills. However, each time a Specialty's level is raised, the cost for all specialties go up.
