History VideoGame / GranadoEspada

** [[ShockAndAwe Beatrice]] is obviously styled after ComicBook/{{Storm}}.

%%* TheArcher: Calyce, Ralph, and Veil

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler: Grandies]], aka the "Red-Haired Girl", [[spoiler: Grandice's]] clone. Her questline has her struggling to find her own identity, as opposed to the [[spoiler: Queen of Pioneer]] herself.

** [[EvilChancellor Richelieu]] is, well, [[Franchise/TheThreeMusketeers Richelieu]].

%%* PeekABangs: Garcia, Lisa, Nana.

* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Garcia, Eduardo, and Selva. It's inverted, sorta. Selva is TheLancer to Garcia's [[TheHero Hero]] (can be interchanged, depending on which quest you are in), with TheChick amnesiac Eduardo rounding it up.
** Prior to Eduardo's amnesia, it was Eduardo TheHero, Garcia TheLancer, and Selva TheChick.

* AnachronismStew: Colonial America... [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs WITH DINOSAURS!]]

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Grandies' expert stances Soul Guard and Soul Bringer involves a lot of spinning attack combos.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Reckless Emilia, Princess Gabriella, and Eva Sharon.
* {{Acrofatic}}: Barrel
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Kano. Viki, to an extent.

* AgentPeacock: Montoro, of course.
* AllegedlyFreeGame: You will need to pay if you want to go beyond just standard gameplay. However, this trope can be averted since it's possible to do the same thing without having to pay, but it takes a painfully longer time to do so.

* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Vincent.

** Dust Devil.

* HotLibrarian: Adriana
* HotWitch: Sierra

* IstanbulNotConstantinople
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Gracielo

* LazyBackup

* MacrossMissileMassacre: Photon Splash from the Levitation stance.

*** So is Hellena's Aqua Pierce.

* PeekABangs: Garcia, Lisa, Nana.

* StandardFantasySetting: Averted

* StepfordSmiler: Elisa.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Female Scouts, Lisa, Reckless Emilia, Eva Sharon...
* SwordAndGun: The appropriately named Heaven or Hell stance.

* TheArcher: Calyce, Ralph, and Veil
* TheAtoner: Adelina, Yeganeh
* TheBeautifulElite
* TheBrute: Reynolds

* KnifeNut: Lisa, Catherine Torsche, and Heyran. They only use daggers.

''Granado Espada'' features the "Multiple Character Control" (MCC) System. Yes, instead of letting you run only one avatar at a time and teamwork in a party or a clan, ''GE'' lets you form a "family" made of your own characters and gives you control of [[ArbitraryHeadcountLimit up to three at a time]]. Five character classes are available, as well as a [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters crapload]] of recruitable [[NonPlayerCharacter Non-Player Characters]], known as Unique Player Characters ([=UPCs=]), or alternatively, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin RNPCs]]. There's also a StanceSystem, which is based on which weapon your character is currently holding. For instance, if your Tank is swinging around a [[{{BFS}} great sword]], he'll only have access to great sword-related stances his character class can acquire; if he's wielding a sword and a [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe shield]], then he'll only have access to sword-and-shield-related stances, and so on. Finally, the game has an Xtreme AI (XAI) feature [[AntiPoopSocking that allows your characters to train themselves while you are away from your console]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: So far, there's around 100 named characters running around the continent of Granado Espada, around half of that are recruitable. A bunch more are introduced every major patch.

** BigScrewedUpFamily: With that being said, you do recruit various people into your family, including a murderer, a chef, a fashion designer, someone with ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, a couple of guys with RoyalBlood in them, an amnesiac, [[OverlyLongGag the former lover of that amnesiac, the brother of that amnesiac]], an old lady, [[spoiler: her daughter, her clone]]... [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters and that's just the icing on the cake]].

* {{Meganekko}}: Idge and Beroniff. The stock characters as well when they equip glasses.

* DummiedOut: The RNPC versions of Sir Lyndon (now only [=GMs=] can use him), Snowfield Rescue Knight (idea might have been incorporated into Natalie), and Selden (just an NPC now).

* FiveRaces: The holders of the Elements.
** Holy Water was held by Dilos Latemn, Al Quelt Moreza's high priest (High Man)
** Otite of Wind was held by Catherine Torsche, daughter of Dr. Torsche, and a brainwashed assassin (Mundane)
** Rhodolite of Fire is held by Mufasar, former tribe leader of Errac/Zeia, [[spoiler: and father of Queen Hamann and Sierra]] (Stout)
** Stone Gas was held by the now-extinct Giants of Sedecram, who were very advanced in magic (Fairy)
** Element of Heart is held by [[spoiler: Sierra (formerly by Mufasar), the witch of Bahama, and sister of Queen Hamann]] (Cute)
*** As of Eva Sharon's update, Water and Fire is currently held by your family, Earth and Wind by Montoro, [[spoiler: but fate unknown after his death]]. Heart is still with it's current possessor, albeit in development.
