History VideoGame / DragonProject

* StandardStatusEffect: Thanks to the game's ElementalRockPaperScissors mechanic, this game offers these status effects against the player:

** This game has a good amount of ''VideoGame/PanzerDragoon'' references, as not only are both games [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons themed after dragons]]; they are also (technically) ''Creator/{{Sega}}'' games.

This game NeedsWikiMagicLove...

* ArtificialStupidity: If you think the bots from VideoGame/FreedomWars are useless, at least the bots from that game actually deal damage and use their abilities; plus, you can command them too. As for the bots in this game, they take the concept of uselessness to a [[UpToEleven whole new level]], as they barely deal (if any) damage to the Behemoth, don't use magis (if they have them in the first place), occasionally ignore you while you need a revive, and if they do revive you while wielding a sword and shield, they never guard while reviving. Oh, and they have the durability of a cardboard box, so expect them to die A LOT. To twist the knife further, unlike VideoGame/FreedomWars' bots, you can't command the game's bots.

* BigBad: Tiamat, Lord Guruge, and the Leader of the Dragoons, [[spoiler: Mia, Llishua's [[CainAndAbel elder sister]]]].
* BigGood: The legendary Altair of course, as he defeated Tiamat and kept Heiland safe, at least from her wrath [[spoiler: until it's revealed that Altair didn't truly killed Tiamat. Instead, he [[SealedEvilInACan sealed her inside of a large volcano]], and [[BigBad Mia]] successfully frees Tiamat to trigger the [[OhCrap 2nd Hex of Tiamat. ]]]]

* MoralityKitchenSink: This game likes to zigzag between WhiteAndGreyMorality and BlackAndWhiteMorality, depending on the event. However, there are rare dark times where the game could edge on GrayAndGreyMorality, or worse, BlackAndGreyMorality. In other words, 45% WAGM, 30% BAWM, 20% GAGM, and 5% BAGM.

** KrakenAndLeviathan: Dark Leviathan, and its water counterpart, Mighty Mercurius, fit the Leviathan part. Akra Platium, Striking Gabbis, and Hazardous Neptos fit the Kraken part.
** OurAngelsAreDifferent: Alabaster Ciel and Void Necroth.
** OurCentaursAreDifferent: Wizaro and Keiros.
** OurDemonsAreDifferent: Infinaruva, along with its earth spinoff, Terafina. Reckless Vizov is a [[MultiArmedAndDangerous four-armed]] Behemoth with [[TakenForGranite petrification powers]], and Slayer Librosa and Cursed Furamouda are book demons.
** OurDragonsAreDifferent: Pretty much every dragon in this game. The word "Dragon" is in the game's title after all. Anyways, you have Lightning Abaia, which is basically a dragon that's part balloon, part whale, and part toaster. Wretched Azdaja and Fiery Gorynych are large [[DinosaursAreDragons dinosaur-looking dragons with wings]]. The afformentioned Mighty Mercurius and Dark Leviathan are [[SeaMonster majestic sea serpents]]. Night Rivenda and Lucent Geneas are a pair of heavily-armored dragons with powers over [[CastingAShadow dark]] and [[LightEmUp light]] respectively. And that's just the icing on the cake! Averted with Deus Felnarog, as it's the most traditional dragon the game can offer.
** OurFairiesAreDifferent: Blighted Ozmia and Coruscated Zaxna.
** OurGargoylesRock: Galdrux.
** OurGhostsAreDifferent: [[KnightInShiningArmor Light Airgetlam]] and [[BlackKnight Dark Gauvain]] are a pair of ghostly knights. Queen Nura and Lord Lich are a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot royal undead skull couple.]]

** OurLichesAreDifferent: Lord Lich of course!
** OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Baroque Stora, and possibly Avant Retra.

** OurVampiresAreDifferent: [[https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NyaiIkgCihM/Wy5S73i8YII/AAAAAAAABFQ/S_1MORwhsowIKkPcW9lFPkhO0f8sN6g1wCLcBGAs/s640/DNHWrAXVoAAGofv.jpg Almighty Gryllen]], the Halloween-themed vampire who [[VampiricDraining sucks your blood]] and [[LifeDrain steals your HP]] with a [[BewareMyStingerTail syringe at the end of his tail.]]
** OurZombiesAreDifferent: Queen Nura, Lord Lich, Wild Mesainox, and Raging Belgoul as mentioned before, along with Ewig Venoma/Mephitus, Savern, and Elgardo, since they're [[DracoLich undead dragons.]]
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Galdrux is one of the smallest SS-Rank Behemoths in the game, yet he can still put up a fight, unless you got yourself an OP Earth set.
** [[PirateGirl Ange's]] revolver is this too, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation in cutscenes at least.]]

*** In fact, the mounted wyvern species (Tzaran, Zylant, Merdolf, and Wycana) have a human(oid figure) [[DragonRider riding on their backs]].

** One of the hybrid attack magis, Pollux and Castor, resemble the bits in both appearance and function from VideoGame/RType.

** Averted to Hell and back with the Enyo set [[note]] Great Gargantus' set [[/note]], as the set is sensible enough to cover you from head to toe, regardless of gender. The set looks durable enough to survive two running trains without a scratch.
* TsuchigumoAndJorogumo: Two Jorogumo-inspired Behemoths in the form of Grinning Ayame and Grinning Yurami as the [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] [[WhipItGood Soul Sword and Shield]] and [[DishingOutDirt Earth]] [[KatanasAreJustBetter Soul Great Sword]] Behemoths respectively. Both [[EyelessFace eyeless]] [[SpiderPeople spider]] {{Geisha}}s carry a parasol that nullifies damage above, and in Yurami's case, she casts a shadowy mist that nullifies all damage until it's removed, preferably with a fast hitting fire weapon/magi.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Linton, the adorable friendly orange baby dragon, serves as the mascot for both the Kingdom of Heiland and the game.

** The Kraken Story Event introduces the squishy and cuddly [[EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods Nebbi]], as they are so docile that they never attack you.

Armor sets worn by Hunters also from right to left: Ozmia, Ayame, and Galdora[[/note]].]]

** Thanks to its virtue of being an ethereal rope with a claw at the end instead of a shield, Soul Sword and Shield's grappling and dragging playstyle heavily resemble the [[VideoGame/FreedomWars Ibara Hookshot]] and the [[VideoGame/{{Toukiden}} Demon Hand.]]
** Soul Bow's [[HomingLasers lock-on mechanic]] screams ''VideoGame/PanzerDragoon'' vibes.

** Soul Bow's [[HomingLasers lock-on mechanic]] screams VideoGame/PanzerDragoon vibes.

*** The [=PYR0=] and [=R4Y=] units bear a resemblance to the aesthetic designs of the Ancient's technology, and both of those Behemoths are also AncientTechnology themselves.

** Winvlum, the S Rank fire wyvern, strikingly looks similar to [[VideoGame/MonsterHunter Rathalos.]]

Tropes:

* {{Stripperific}}/ChainmailBikini: Needless to say, this game is quite guilty of both tropes. There's a generous amount of revealing armor, but the Papillon [[note]] Vemerphose's set [[/note]], Envoy [[note]] Void Necroth's set [[/note]], Seraph [[note]] Alabaster Ciel's set [[/note]], Barbarian [[note]] Gerell's set [[/note]] set, and the infamous Khong's set take the cake. Then again, the sets are quite revealing on guys too.

** OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Sutora, and possibly Rutora.

** OurZombiesAreDifferent: Queen Nura and Lord Lich as mentioned before, along with Ewig Venoma/Mephitus, Savern, and Elgardo, since they're [[DracoLich undead dragons.]]
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Galdrux is one of the smallest SS-Rank Behemoths in the game, yet he can still bring a fight, unless you got yourself an OP Earth set.
** [[PirateGirl Ange's]] revolver is this too, in cutscenes at least.

* ReviveKillsZombie: Undead behemoths, such as Ewig Venoma, Mephitus, Queen Nura, Lord Lich, Diabolical Savern, Diabolical Elgardo, Raging Belgoul, and Wild Mesainox, recieve damage from AreaOfEffect Recovery Magi. In fact, AOE Recovery Magis also interrupt the ultimate attacks from Ewig Venom, Mephitus, and Lord Lich.

** The Kraken Story Event introduces the squishy and cuddly Nebbi, as they are so docile that they never attack you.

* {{Stripperific}}/ChainmailBikini: Needless to say, this game is quite guilty of both tropes. There's a generous amount of revealing armor, but the Papillon [[note]] Vemerphose's set [[/note]], Envoy [[note]] Void Necroth's set [[/note]], Seraph [[note]] Alabaster Ciel's set [[/note]] and Barbarian [[note]] Gerell's set [[/note]] sets take the cake.

Armor sets worn by Hunters from left to right: Ozmia, Ayame, and Galdora[[/note]].]]

** OurOgresAreDifferent: Ogre, although he looks more like a {{Cyclops}} instead. Cranky Grich is a [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} Frankenstein's monster]] version of this trope.

* NintendoHard: As if the Gacha luck wasn't bad enough, future Behemoths are becoming [[LightningBruiser increasingly faster, deadlier, and tougher]] in response to PowerCreep. Hopefully RNG is on your side for getting good gear and a good party for tough missions!

* BigBad: Tiamat, Lord Grunge, and the Leader of the Dragoons, [[spoiler: Mia, Llishua's [[CainAndAbel elder sister]]]].

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Aside from Soul or Oracle Sword and "Shield", all of the Sword and Shield types have, well, a shield for the wielder to protect themselves with. UpToEleven with the mighty Burst Sword and Shield, as it is so tanky that the shield not only reduces damage by 70%, the Burst Sword and Shield can parry behemoth attacks and make them stagger, which allows you to interrupt most ultimate attacks from Behemoths. If that wasn't enough, Burst Sword and Shield makes you immune to all status effects, [[NoSell even death itself!]]

** OurDragonsAreDifferent: Pretty much every dragon in this game. You have Lightning Abaia, which is basically a dragon that's part balloon, part whale, and part toaster. Wretched Azdaja and Fiery Gorynych are large [[DinosaursAreDragons dinosaur-looking dragons with wings]]. The afformentioned Mighty Mercurius and Dark Leviathan are [[SeaMonster majestic sea serpents]]. Night Rivenda and Lucent Geneas are a pair of heavily-armored dragons with powers over [[CastingAShadow dark]] and [[LightEmUp light]] respectively. And that's just the icing on the cake! Averted with Deus Felnarog, as it's the most traditional dragon the game can offer.

** MechanicalMonster: Deus Machina, Ulkatron, Magnomus, Gordmagia, Riotous Magna, Meteoric Vulcan, [[StarfishRobots Hacked PYR0-10, and Rapid R4Y-10.]]

** OurDemonsAreDifferent: Infinaruva, along with its earth spinoff, Terafina.

** OurGhostsAreDifferent: [[KnightInShiningArmor Light Airgetlam]] and [[BlackKnight Dark Gauvain]] are a pair of ghostly knights. Queen Nura and Lord Lich are a royal undead skull couple.
** OurGiantsAreBigger: Great Gargantus and Primus Maximus. For a Halloween-spin on this trope, we have Mesainox and Belgoul, a pair of death giants.

* ReviveKillsZombie: Undead behemoths, such as Ewig Venoma, Mephitus, Queen Nura, Lord Lich, Diabolical Savern, and Diabolical Elgardo, recieve damage from AreaOfEffect Recovery Magi. In fact, AOE Recovery Magis also interrupt the ultimate attacks from Ewig Venom, Mephitus, and Lord Lich.

* MoralityKitchenSink: This game likes to zigzag between WhiteAndGreyMorality and BlackAndWhiteMorality, depending on the event. However, there are rare dark times where the game could edge on GrayAndGreyMorality, or worse, BlackAndGreyMorality. In other words, 50% WAGM, 25% BAWM, 20% GAGM, and 5% BAGM.
