History VideoGame / LaTale

* BeachLevel: Orca Beach, as well as Treasure Beach.

* DraconicHumanoid: The builders of the Temple of Pluton, who appear later as enemies in two of the three Vanaheimr dungeons.

* PaletteSwap: Many enemies are reused with only minor changes.

* MonsterArena: The Monster Tower in the Big Apple.

* LethalLavaLand: The Lair of the Evil Dragon

* LevelAte: The Cookie Garden, and its much, much higher leveled version, the Choco Garden.

* BadFuture: The questline to obtain fourth jobs reveals at the end that [[spoiler:the Old Town is actually a future Midgard in the middle of this future, which merely started with a ColonyDrop and [[TheAssimilator invasion]] of...[[OutsideContextProblem something]].]]

*** The dungeon ''right after'' the one previously mentioned is World's Genesis, where the Einherjar monsters there have only about 30 million. Some of the other monsters? ''Over 60,000,000.'' One mook in that dungeon also resurrects into a stronger version of itself. [[SarcasmMode Good luck!]]

** Played straight with instances once you reach about Level 170-180, though.

* BadFuture: The questline to obtain fourth jobs ends with a glimpse of one, which merely started with a ColonyDrop and [[TheAssimilator invasion]] of...[[OutsideContextProblem something]].

* ToHellAndBack: Episode 5 is called Hel's Door. Hmmm...

* DifficultySpike: In Season 1, instance dungeons were huge examples of this. Often, you had to be 10-20 levels over the dungeon's level range in order to get through the dungeon without a great party or a high-leveled player assisting you.

* Monk - A new class introduced in the Demigod expansion, they are a magically-based class who wields a [[SimpleStaff Magic Rod]] and have a different gameplay than the other classes. Monks lack a resource gauge and are purely cooldown dependent, so they utilize a mechanic known as Chaos, which periodically fills up on two sides to switch between Rage, which emphasizes [[AttackAttackAttack relentless close ranged attacks]], and Divine, which emphasizes a more defensive usage of long range attacks. They advance to the Battle Lord, the Avenger, and then the Demigod.
* Mercenary - An upcoming class introduced in the Agni expansion, they are a physical class who wields [[CarryABigStick massive hammers]]. Their unique gameplay mechanic is a gauge that fills up every minute, increasing their damage dealt and granting a massive shield and they use fire-based skills and summons in battle. They promote to the Flame Lord, then the Magma Force, and finally the Agni.

* ShoutOut: The [=DotNuri=] minigame is a shoutout to ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', and the upcoming "Baker Street" area is one big shoutout to SherlockHolmes.

* AbandonedLaboratory: the Abyss Ruins and Kimaira Labs instance.

* Mercenary - An upcoming class introduced in the Agni expansion, they are a physical class who wields [[CarryABigStick massive hammers]]. Their unique gameplay mechanic is a gauge that fills up whenever they take damage, increasing their damage dealt but lowering their defenses, and they use fire-based skills and summons in battle. They promote to the Flame Lord, then the Magma Force, and finally the Agni.

The story is mostly cliche filler, with a mysterious girl named Iris who fought a great evil and vanished. Upon entering the world of ''La Tale'', you must seek out the truth of her quest and companions via speaking with [=NPCs=] and completing various scenario dungeons.

Almost everyone ignores this unless the scenario dungeon also has a quest.

* Soul Breaker - A class introduced in Season 2, they use soul stones in battle, and their abilities consist of [[SoulPower using the ability of monsters]] against them. They mainly specialize in magic, just like Wizards. They can only promote to the Soul Reaver, whose gameplay diverges into a StanceSystem, and then the Soul Lords, who add a third stance to their skillset. Their 4th promotion is the powerful Soulless One. They are one of the classes without a subclass.

* Wanderer - A new class introduced in the Vagrant expansion, they are a physical class who specializes in both offense in support. They can use support skills with their Dark Jade, which is a lantern, and they can utilize their offense by transforming their lantern into a [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]], using it for fast and powerful combos and mobility. Like the Card Master, they use a unique resource for their skills, with two gauges. They can advance to the Shadow, then the Mystic, and finally the Black Anima.
* Monk - A new class introduced in the Demigod expansion, they are a magically-based class who wields a [[SimpleStaff Magic Rod]] and have a dynamically different gameplay than the other classes. Monks lack a resource gauge and are purely cooldown dependent, so they utilize a mechanic-based gauge known as Chaos, which periodically fills up on two sides to switch between Rage, which emphasizes [[AttackAttackAttack relentless close ranged attacks]], and Divine, which emphasizes a more defensive usage of long range attacks. They advance to the Battle Lord, the Avenger, and then the Demigod.
* Mercenary - A class introduced in the Agni expansion, they are a physical class who wields [[CarryABigStick massive hammers]]. Their unique gameplay mechanic is a gauge that fills up whenever they take damage, increasing their damage dealt but lowering their defenses, and they use fire-based skills and summons in battle. They promote to the Flame Lord, then the Magma Force, and finally the Agni.

** The Chunsik Castle is one of the most common places for endgame leveling to 200.

* PrestigeClass: Five out of nine classes have two at level 50. Prior to Season 2, the required level was 80.

* LevelAte: Cookie Garden

* OneStatToRuleThemAll: Besides shoes and gloves, usually the only thing you'll be putting on your armor is luck.

* Mercenary - A class introduced in the Agni expansion, they are a physical class who wields [[CarryABigStick massive hammers]]. Their unique gameplay mechanic is a very hefty shield gauge that charges every minute or so, allowing them to absorb a massive amount of damage, and they use fire-based skills and summons in battle. They promote to the Flame Lord, then the Magma Force, and finally the Agni.

** The Agni one-ups the Savior by sporting a humongous shield based on their max health that recharges every minute, letting them absorb tons of damage.
