History VideoGame / DragonQuestBuilders2

** And, of course, probably the brick joke with the longest setup in history: [[spoiler:Goldirox and the Three Bars.]]

* CombinedEnergyAttack: The Kazapple Cannon, a massive weapon that draws energy from the townspeople and focuses it into a powerful beam.

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: All of the boss monsters are far bigger than their minions. [[spoiler:But Atlas, the boss of the Moonbrook chapter is a special case; he's a ogre who's bigger than your entire castle!]]

* AlternateContinuity: This game continues in the alternate timeline established by the first ''Builders'' game based on the bad ending of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestI''. This time around, the plot of the main game proceeded as it did canonically.

** Lambs produce ''cotton'', not wool.

* DreamWorld: [[spoiler:The true nature of the Land of Illusion.]]

* WarpWhistle: Players can fast travel through the world map between their home bases and any Naviglobes they find.

* DevelopersForesight: In Furrowfield you'll be given 2 quests to find 2 new types of seeds (tomatoes and pumpkins) and the instruction to sow 250 seeds of any kind. The intention being that by completing those 2 quests (and their related mini side quests) you'll obtain the 250 seeds you need. That said, crops will randomly die after a few harvests, therefore to avoid an UnwinnableByMistake situation the game offers other options to acquire seeds (like killing Iron Ants or the Giant Orcs) so you don't end up with less than 250 crops by accident and no way to complete the quest. So it's perfectly possible to obtain 250 seeds without completing the Tomato and Pumpkin quests. To avoid SequenceBreaking however, the counter will stop at 249 until you sow at least one of each type of seed in your farm so you don't skip those other story quests.

* NotSoDifferent:
** It's often mentioned by the voice in Malroth's head that as the Lord of Destruction he can't be friends with a builder who is a symbol of creation. As discussed in the final battle, [[spoiler:both forces complement each other perfectly. It's even discussed that Hargon's original intention was to rebuild the world in his image after destroying it, which means he'd become that which he hated the most; a builder. Further proof of that is the imaginary world and Malhalla, both created by Hargon himself.]]
** Malroth and Lulu -despite how much they argue- have ''identical'' tastes when it comes to bedrooms (level 4 size and fanciness with a cool theme).

* DevilInPlainSight: Upon your return from Khrumbul-Dun you find a shaman named Shane and a pair of unnamed Legerdemen visiting the island, claiming to be missionaries from the Children of Hargon who are merely curious to learn about your abilities and have no intention of forcing their beliefs on you. No one (except Bonanzo, who insisted they be allowed to stay because Shane reminded him of Pastor Al) is shocked when they betray you and attack the Isle of Awakening 15 minutes later.

* DevilInPlainSight: Upon your return from Khrumbul-dun you'll find a Hargon Sorcerer named Shane and a pair of unnamed Legerdeman have befriended Lulu and Bonanzo while you were away and they claim to only be interested in learning about your abilities with absolutely no ulterior motive. No one is shocked (besides Lulu and Bonanzo) when they betray you and attack Island of Awakenings 15 minutes later.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Subverted. The "book of blue prints" is hinted to be something rather less innocent, and its original name literally translates to "naughty magazine". This seems like censorship at a glance, but, like most things in ''Dragon Quest'', it's actually a pun: the spelling of "blue prints" rather than "blueprints" invokes the lesser-known use of the word "blue" to mean obscene or smutty.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Subverted. While "The Book of Blue Prints" appears to be censored in North America due to the original name translating to "Naughty Magazine," the joke/pun comes from the usage of "Blue Prints" rather than "Blueprints" in the name as "Blue" is an old slang term for callous or smutty.

* YouAllLookFamiliar: Due to the game reusing a lot of assets from ''Videogame/DragonQuestBuilders'' this happens often. Bonanzo looks suspiciously similar to Rollo from the first game, not to mention that Lulu is a recolored Pippa, but the worst offenders are the miners being flat out copy-pasted from the Bodybuilders, and Gillian from the fishing DLC being a copy of Barbarella from Kol. Of course, heavy reuse of sprites has been a ''Video/DragonQuest'' tradition ever since the first game.

-->'''Molly:''' Creation leads to attachment. Attachment leads to fear. Fear leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Hargon, or rather his disembodied spirit manifesting itself in his great illusion.]]
