History VideoGame / ManaKhemia2FallOfAlchemy

* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: Averted; everybody participates. The total number of party members has been cut down to 5 per character story, with 3 on vanguard, 2 in support, and an empty slot for guest characters. Or 2 vanguard and 3 support.

* CombinationAttack: Changed from the last game into "Intimate Attacks" and "Intimate Defenses". Two characters are required to activate one, and any two will do. Pairing up the two protagonists gets special Intimate Attacks, though, and most Initmate Defenses will improve the Vanguard's durability.

** Using Ulrika as the lead in the third path (where both teams are combined) can also lead to a bug, since, apparently, she cannot read jobs at all.

* HopelessBossFight: First battle with Reicher is unwinnable. There is also an optional against Flay in his office.
* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: The recipe for Raze's weapon: [[KnifeNut Dagger]] + [[RingOfPower Ring of Light]] = [[EnergyWeapon funky weird sword thing made out of energy/light]] [[MorphWeapon that can change shape at will]]
* JerkassGods: The Light Mana, as well as their supporters, treat the game's cast like pawns, and never express any particular regret about the hell their little bet with Dark Mana puts them through.

%% * LightIsNotGood: Arguably the point of the game's StoryArc.

* LuckyTranslation: This game's subtitle was supposed to be "The Fallen Academy and the Alchemists", instead of "Fall of Alchemy". However, since Manas are disappearing and the academy's chairwoman wants to end Alchemy Classes, it's also works.
* TheMagicGoesAway: It started going away in the TimeSkip between games, as Mana became increasingly rare, and the Academy began shifting over to a mundane school.

* NonStandardSkillLearning: Lily is the only one whose upgraded skills, instead of learned through the Grow Book, are obtained through certain cutscenes after creating certain items.

* TheRival: The two protagonist workshops act this way toward each other. Also Tony and Flay, right out of the old days; it is reflected in how they teach their classes as well. [[spoiler: In Raze's story ending, Richer considers him his rival and promises for a rematch.]]

* SaveScumming: Saving the game at the workshop before taking a class (and resetting if you didn't get the best score) can help you to fill the required units faster and gain more Free Time to do the Character Quests.

** Flay loves to inflict this on his students. The Training Sea "vacation" being just the first of his many "lessons".

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Both Reicher and Sasalina don't appear in the third story for some reason. Heck, the latter disappears roughly ''halfway'' through Ulrika's story!

* TripleShifter: In addition to having a full-time one year contract with Lily, Yun is always seen taking jobs from other people on the side. It seems strange that a mana cares so deeply about money, until you learn the reason, of course.

* YaoiFangirl: Chloe is strongly implied to be into this (along with, apparently, a very strong desire to see strange things happen to Enna) Lily shows shades of this, as well. The yaoi fandom in general is made fun of by the game's script.

* BarrierChangeBoss: [[spoiler:Uryu]] will periodically changes its elemental resistance. Also the Light Mana.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Poor Whim. Lily's commands have her doing everything from injecting ink into her veins to standing in front of a fire so her body can warm Lily's bed.
* BlackComedyRape: [[spoiler:Poor Puni Kichi laments the loss of his purity after Lily's first, um, "encounter" with him]].

* DisproportionateRetribution: when Corona first appears in the school [[spoiler:to find Yun]], she insults Puniyo, Ulrika, Pepperoni, Goto, Mr. Tony and [[strike:even]] Principal Zeppel. They (with the exception of Puniyo, who instead had a comic HeroicBSOD) later deliver a beatdown not to the girl, but to the poor guy that has the ''least'' involvement: Raze!

* EasilyForgiven: Averted. [[spoiler:Lily doesn't easily forgive Raze after injuring Whim with his Mana-slaying sword, whatever his excuse is.]]

* FairyCompanion: Pepperoni would like to remind all tropers that he IS, in fact, a fairy, and will one day train himself until he's as tiny and cute as his master. [[spoiler:A bit of a subversion, since he's later revealed to ''not'' be a fairy.]]
* FauxActionGirl: Sasalina. It is described that she has amazing archery skills... and yet she always ends up defeated by your party.
* {{Fetish}}: Lily sure is fond of Punis. When a few of them arrive on campus, she arranges to have her servants capture them so that she can... touch them. Later in the game, she falls in love with one for a few seconds, and when the opportunity to make her breasts larger presents itself some time afterward she tries to envision them having the texture of punis, "so she could touch a puni whenever she wants." She can even ''smell'' it...

* GenderBlenderName: Et (short for Etward) and Enna (short for Ennarcia). The game lampshades this with the revelation in Enna's character quest that [[spoiler:the little brother was originally the one named Etward, and his elder sister tricked him into trading names with her when they were young.]]

* GirlInABox: Gender-flipped. In two TrainingFromHell events in Raze's route, Et brings along Enna inside a bag. [[spoiler:Et later completely forgets about the bag, causing Enna to be trapped ''for the whole week'' inside. When he finally gets out, he nearly dies from dehydration.]]

* GoneHorriblyRight: Chloe's "incantations" often result in this. Example: A powder makes Enna attractive, but turns all females into [[StalkerWithACrush Stalkers With Crushes]] who invoke IfICantHaveYou ''immediately.''
* GratuitousEnglish: If you listen closely to Goto's Japanese voice, he delivers a few of his lines in English.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Despite his confirming on several occasions that he's a full-blooded human, Goto is never seen outside of his suit during the course of the game, and seems to exist within a very small sphere most of the time. He even booby-traps his suit to prevent the curious from trying to unmask him. His true form is only seen if you get his ending during Ulrika's playthrough, and you only see him from the back (though even from that angle you can see that his popularity with the ladies [[TallDarkAndHandsome wasn't entirely undeserved]]).
* HeroicBSOD: Raze threatens to have one a couple times over the course of his story, but doesn't finally succumb to it until after [[spoiler:the Soul Mana's influence enrages him, causing him to strike Whim with his mana-slaying sword.]]
%% * HopelessBossFight: First battle with Reicher.

* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Sasalina, already obsessively in love with Reicher, goes completely off the deep end [[spoiler:following several encounters with Uryu.]]

* MyHeroZero: [[spoiler:In the Puniyo ending it's suggested that Raze's Puni-name be Zero. Taro objects on the grounds that it would make him lose his place as the family badass.]]

* PuppyLove: an early character quest has the characters think of something along these lines when they saw Enna and Puniyo together. Et, on the other hand, thinks that it's the ''Punis'' who are attracted to her brother...

* UnfazedEveryman: Enna frequently has monologues where he laments being the only "normal" person in a workshop of freaks. Chloe makes similar remarks about herself from time to time, but someone else in the group (usually Ulrika) is always quick to point out that she's [[SubvertedTrope as weird as any of the others.]]
* TheUnintelligible: Puniyo. Subverted in her last character quest, for a short time. [[spoiler:She knows full well that she is human at that point and talks normally, but goes back to speaking the Puni language near the end.]]

* YaoiFangirl: Chloe is strongly implied to be into this (along with, apparently, a very strong [[NoYay desire to see strange things happen to Enna]]) Lily shows shades of this, as well. The yaoi fandom in general is made fun of by the game's script.

''Mana-Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy'' is a direct {{Sequel}} to the original ''VideoGame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlRevis''. It was localized and released by NIS America in late August, ([[BlindIdiotTranslation wrongly subtitled]], as the original Japanese title is roughly translated to the Alchemists of the Fallen Academy.) The new game features a completely unique cast of characters, except for three cameos. The class and alchemy systems remain more or less unchanged, but the grow book system, battle mechanics, and field monster AI are all retooled.

* TheRival: the two protagonist workshops act this way toward each other. Also Tony and Flay, right out of the old days; it is reflected in how they teach their classes as well. [[spoiler: In Raze's story ending, Richer considers him his rival and promises for a rematch.]]

%% * AnimeThemeSong: "My Silly Days".

%% * AxCrazy: Reicher [[spoiler:after being influenced by the Soul Mana.]]
%%* BadassLongcoat: Raze.
%% * BareYourMidriff: Ulrika, Yun.

%% * BeleagueredChildhoodFriend: Raze for Lily, Chloe and Ulrika to each other.
%% * {{BFS}}: Raze's LaserBlade.
%% * BigSisterInstinct: Et to Enna, much to the latter's chagrin.
%% * TheBigGuy: Pepperoni.

%% * BlackMagicianGirl: Chloe. It's a skill set that [[DarkChick matches her personality perfectly.]]
%% * BrotherSisterIncest: ''PlayedForLaughs'' during the GoneHorriblyRight entry below.
* [[GirlInABox Boy In A Bag]]: In two TrainingFromHell events in Raze's route, Et brings along Enna inside a bag. [[spoiler:Et later completely forgets about the bag, causing Enna to be trapped ''for the whole week'' inside. When he finally gets out, he nearly dies from dehydration.]]
%% * BrattyHalfPint: Corona, [[spoiler:''Yun's'']] "daughter".
* ButtMonkey:
** Puni Kichi, to the point where Puniyo offers him to Lily ''multiple'' times during the game. To a lesser extent, Enna, Pepperoni, Et, Puni Taro, and Whim.
** Raze, too, considering how often he gets into trouble by other characters.
* TheCasanova: Goto. To the point where only the girls in the game's primary cast seem immune to his charms. As Enna points out in Goto's character quest: [[EvenTheGuysWantHim "75% of the school says they want Goto as their boyfriend. This includes 100% of the girls, and one in every three boys."]] An impressive feat for someone who spends most of his time in an animal suit. It is specifically mentioned that the primary cast is only immune to his charms because he's purposely turning his supernatural charm down. When he turns it up to its usual level and looks at the female protagonist, she blushes and acts like she has a crush on him.
* {{Chaste Hero}}ine: Ulrika is charmingly innocent when it comes to romance and male/female interaction. Goto points this out when the only example she can give for a date activity is "holding hands." Raze seems to be this way, since he seems rather clueless about Lily's affections, but the Lily ending during his playthrough implies that he [[ObfuscatingStupidity just pretended not to notice because it was more interesting]].
%% * ChildMage: Puniyo.
%% * ChildrenAreInnocent: Puniyo, eventually a subversion.
%% * ChristmasCake: Marta.
%% * ClingyMacGuffin: Raze's [[RingOfPower Ring of Light]].
%% * CloudCuckoolander: Et. Pepperoni and Goto to a lesser extent, but at least they manage to say something coherent on occasion.
%% * ColonyDrop: Seen in the opening. Also, Pepperoni's FinishingMove, complete with an AsskickingPose.

%% * ComedicSociopathy

%% * CoolOldGuy: The Dark Mana King and Raze's grandfather.
* CountryMouse: Ulrika and Chloe come from a very rural and backwoods village. True to this trope's description, Ulrika quickly becomes a [[RichBitch target of rivalry with Lily.]]
%% * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: There's a reason why Enna's deathly afraid of his sister.
%% * CuteMonsterGirl: [[spoiler:Tetri, even after [[OneWingedAngel transforming]].]]
%% * DarkIsNotEvil: Arguably the point of the game's StoryArc.
* DemonicPossession: Played for laughs in one of Chloe's character quests. However, due to her nature as a DarkChick, Ulrika ends up to be the only one who noticed this.

%% * EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Most of Et's attacks, seeing as her WeaponOfChoice is a couple of RingsOfDeath.
%% * EvilLaugh: Chloe, in her Finishing Strike.

%% * ExtremeDoormat: Principal Zeppel. Period.
* TheFaceless: Downplayed with Dark Mana. His hood completely covers the upper portions of his face, and his beard obscures the rest.

%% * FiveManBand:Depending on the route you take, you can get the following Five-Man Bands:
%% ** Raze's Route:
%% *** TheHero: Raze
%% *** TheLancer: Lily
%% *** TheSmartGuy: Yun
%% *** TheBigGuy: Et
%% *** TheChick: Puniyo
%% ** Ulrika's Route:
%% *** TheHero: Ulrika
%% *** TheLancer: Chloe
%% *** TheSmartGuy: Enna
%% *** TheBigGuy: Pepperoni
%% *** TheChick: Goto
%% * FloatingContinent:...Well, Al-Revis Academy USED to be on one. Apparently, 'Fallen' means more than the school's just having financial problems.
* GameBreakingBug: Sadly, NISA doesn't seem to have done much to prevent these. While not quite as egregious as the first game, a certain boss battle in the second path followed (optional job, thankfully) will freeze the game much like the optional boss in ''VideoGame/ArTonelicoIIMelodyOfMetafalica'', the only fix being crushing it before it gets a turn. Using Ulrika as the lead in the third path (where both teams are combined) can also lead to a bug, since, apparently, she cannot read jobs at all.

%% * IdiotHair:
%% ** Reicher; that's saying something...
%% ** Tony.
* {{Idiot Hero}}ine: Ulrika, [[strike:arguably]] whose level of intelligence doesn't seem to be higher than children at Enna's age. Not to mention her inability to understand Punis (who can speak human language just fine) is said to be something that only idiots will suffer...

%% * IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Sasalina.
%% * InsistentTerminology: Chloe's [[strike:curses]] incantations.
%% * {{Jerkass}}: The members of Ulrika's workshop.

%% * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Raze, generally. Mr. Tony on his better days.
%% * KarmaHoudini: Martha, especially after [[spoiler:Coronoa finds decisive evidence of her embezzlement of school funds during Yun's character quests.]]

%% * TheLegionsOfHell: Whatever the creature Chloe calls out in her attacks.

%% * LuckyTranslation: Due to certain [[Creator/YuriLowenthal casting]] [[Creator/JohnnyYongBosch choices,]] the joke in Puniyo's ending [[ActorAllusion still manages to work.]]

%% * MamaBear: Ulrika towards Uryu.

%% * MrImagination: Lily, especially when Raze is concerned. Lampshaded often.
%% * MultipleEndings: A total of 11: five per each character story, and one for the bonus story.

* NinjaMaid: Not only is she Lily's loyal servant and maid, Whim is also her source of power. In battle, Whim performs all of the attacks, while Lily stands behind her, barking orders.
%% * NoblewomansLaugh: Marta gives off one of these when things are usually going her way. Also Lily, occasionally.

%% * OnlySaneMan:
%% ** Raze in his workshop; Enna in Ulrika's workshop.
%% ** Yun on occasion as well.
* {{Otaku}}: Yun, of all people, is hinted to be one during Et's character quest. It's even harder to dismiss the possibility if you turn on the Japanese voice.
%% * ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:Yun]] to his "daughter" Corona.

%% * PowerFist: Enna's WeaponOfChoice, which is ''larger than he is''.
%% * PowerGivesYouWings: Raze's FinishingMove.
* PrecociousCrush: Implied with [[spoiler:Puniyo on Raze. Her family seems to think so, anyway, and her parents even [[strike:look]] sound like they ''approve'' of it.]] And in the beginning of Chapter 8, [[spoiler:Puniyo stated that she will trade Puni Taro for Raze]]. Lily gave, um... mixed reactions to this statement.
* PsychoForHire: Reicher is a more tame example of this, as he accepted the employ of the Light Mana for sheer love of battle, more than any particular murder or mayhem.

%% * [[RaisedByWolves Raised By Punis]]: Puniyo again.
%% * RedEyesTakeWarning: Reicher, especially after [[spoiler:his encounter with Uryu.]]

* RichBitch: Lily acts this way toward Ulrika, and appears to be this to most who encounter her. Those who know her, however, notice that beneath her bitchy exterior there's a [[{{Tsundere}} soft, caring center.]]
* TheRival: the two protagonist workshops act this way toward each other. Also Tony and Flay, right out of the old days; it is reflected in how they teach their classes as well.

* RocketPunch:
** Enna's [[LimitBreak Finishing Burst]] ends with his HumongousMecha firing one of these at the enemy.
** Enna also summons his HumongousMecha's hand and fires it at the enemy during his Intimate Strike.

%% * ShyFingerTwiddling: Pepperoni, of all people, is prone to this habit.

* SwissArmyWeapon: Et's RingsOfDeath can transform into a bow and arrow during one of her skills, as well as in an upgraded back-up attack.
%% * TrainingFromHell:
%% ** Flay's preferred method of instruction.
%% ** Pepperoni and Goto aren't much better. Unarmed bear fighting and getting boiled alive are their ''sanest'' ideas.

%% * UnderwaterRuins: Deep Sea Ruins, naturally.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: both Reicher and Sasalina don't appear in the third story for some reason. Heck, the latter disappears roughly ''halfway'' through Ulrika's story!
%% * WhiteHairBlackHeart: Reicher, played completely straight.

%% * ZettaiRyouiki: Puniyo, Sasalina.

* AnimeThemeSong: "My Silly Days".

* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: Averted; everybody participates. The total number of party members has been cut down to 5 per character story, with 3 on vanguard, 2 in support, and an empty slot for guest characters.
** Or 2 vanguard and 3 support.
** Played straight in the extra chapter.
* AxCrazy: Reicher [[spoiler:after being influenced by the Soul Mana.]]

* BareYourMidriff: Ulrika, Yun.

** To be fair though, Lily provides the alchemic know-how to enhance Whim's power so it is likely that Whim needs Lily's help to achieve her full potential.
* BeleagueredChildhoodFriend: Raze for Lily, Chloe and Ulrika to each other.
* {{BFS}}: Raze's LaserBlade.
* BigSisterInstinct: Et to Enna, much to the latter's chagrin.
* TheBigGuy: Pepperoni.

* BlackMagicianGirl: Chloe. It's a skill set that [[DarkChick matches her personality perfectly.]]
* BrotherSisterIncest: ''PlayedForLaughs'' during the GoneHorriblyRight entry below.

* BrattyHalfPint: Corona, [[spoiler:''Yun's'']] "daughter".
* ButtMonkey: Puni Kichi, to the point where Puniyo offers him to Lily ''multiple'' times during the game. To a lesser extent, Enna, Pepperoni, Et, Puni Taro, and Whim.

* TheCasanova: Goto. To the point where only the girls in the game's primary cast seem immune to his charms. As Enna points out in Goto's character quest: [[EvenTheGuysWantHim "75% of the school says they want Goto as their boyfriend.

* ChildMage: Puniyo.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Puniyo, although it is starting to get subverted eventually...Arguably Uryu as well.
* ChristmasCake: Marta.
* ClingyMacGuffin: Raze's [[RingOfPower Ring of Light]].
* CloudCuckoolander: Et. Pepperoni and Goto to a lesser extent, but at least they manage to say something coherent on occasion.

* ComedicSociopathy
* ContinuityNod: the Dragon's Grave returns, albeit with differences to the original. The Millenium Tree as well, but it has grown; it's now the Millennium ''Forest''.

* CoolOldGuy: The Dark Mana King and Raze's grandfather.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: there's a reason why Enna's deathly afraid of his sister.
* CuteMonsterGirl: [[spoiler:Arguably Tetri, even after [[OneWingedAngel transforming]].]]

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: PLENTY of them. Pepperoni wrestles with Goto while covered with oil comes to mind...
* DopeSlap: the first thing Ulrika ever does to [[spoiler:try and calm down Uryu.]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Not exactly]] [[WhatAnIdiot the best idea]] [[OneWingedAngel to come up with at a time like that...]]
* DualWielding: Raze does this in one of his skills.
* EldritchAbomination[=/=]TheLegionsOfHell: whatever the creature Chloe calls out in her attacks.
* EasilyForgiven: Subverted. [[spoiler:Lily doesn't easily forgive Raze after injuring Whim with his Mana-slaying sword, whatever his excuse is.]]
* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Most of Et's attacks, seeing as her WeaponOfChoice is a couple of RingsOfDeath.
* EvilLaugh: Chloe, in her Finishing Strike.

* EvolvingAttack: The characters' skills can be upgraded through the Grow Book. Lily is an exception, since you only need certain materials those will trigger scenes where her skills are upgraded.
** Normal attacks count towards the evolving kind, too.
* ExtremeDoormat: Principal Zeppel. Period.
* TheFaceless: arguably, the Dark Mana. His hood completely covers the upper portions of his face, and his beard obscures the rest.

** We're told fairly early on in his character quests that [[spoiler:he's not a fairy]], but it's not until near the end of either story that we find out [[spoiler:what he really is: a Mana, or at least partly one.]] See EpilepticTrees over on the YMMV page.
* FauxActionGirl: Sasalina arguably qualifies. It is described that she has amazing archery skills... and yet she always ends up defeated by your party.
** To be fair, she is ganged up by a group of five/six people.
* {{Fetish}}: Lily sure is fond of Punis. When a few of them arrive on campus, she arranges to have her servants capture them so that she can... touch them. Later in the game, she falls in love with one for a few seconds, and when the opportunity to make her breasts larger presents itself some time afterward she tries to envision them having the texture of punis, "so she could touch a puni whenever she wants."
** Lily can ''smell'' Punis. Think about that for a while.
*** At one point she mentions sensing the presence of Punis through the "Puni Feel", apparently having become some kind of [[StarWars Puni Sith]].
** And don't forget that [[strike:one]] [[strike:two]] three times she [[spoiler:transformed into a Puni. The second time is only mentioned, while the party actually discovers Lily the third time.]] Both later instances weren't ''accidents...''
** Lily's Puni fetish is inherited. Her father is even creepier about it.
** In a character quest that appears later in the game, Lily can translate Puniyo's speech as well.
** At the end of Puniyo's Character Quest, [[spoiler:Raze becomes an "honorary" Puni.]] This gave Lily a Fetish of her own.

* FiveManBand:Depending on the route you take, you can get the following Five-Man Bands:
** Raze's Route:
*** TheHero: Raze
*** TheLancer: Lily
*** TheSmartGuy: Yun
*** TheBigGuy: Et
*** TheChick: Puniyo
** Ulrika's Route:
*** TheHero: Ulrika
*** TheLancer: Chloe
*** TheSmartGuy: Enna
*** TheBigGuy: Pepperoni
*** TheChick: Goto
* FloatingContinent:...Well, Al-Revis Academy USED to be on one. Apparently, 'Fallen' means more than the school's just having financial problems.
** ColonyDrop: seen in the opening. Also, Pepperoni's FinishingMove, complete with an AsskickingPose.

* GenghisGambit: pulled off by Flay, as always. ''Three times'', even, although the first two tries [[StatusQuoIsGod didn't stick.]]
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Starts off with Lily and Whim dressing Raze in his sleep, and ''never'' ends.
* GoldfishPoopGang: The gang of Punis intent on attacking Puniyo throughout her character quest never quite manage to be a significant presence, either on the battlefield or in the story.
** And one even manages to be sympathetic during one character quest, [[spoiler:giving the party the cure for Taro, Jiro, and Kichi's sickness because his parents had the same disease.]]

* HopelessBossFight: First battle with Reicher.
* IdiotHair: Reicher; that's saying something...
** Tony.
** Simply stating one or two examples doesn't do justice to the fact that the IdiotHair quotient in this game is one of the highest ever seen.

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Sasalina.
* InsistentTerminology: Chloe's [[strike:curses]] incantations.
* {{Jerkass}}: Some people view the members of Ulrika's workshop as this.
* JerkassGods: The Light and Dark manas, as well as their supporters, treat the game's cast like pawns, and never express any particular regret about the hell their little bet puts them through.
** The Dark Mana DOES express regret for everything you went through and his inability to stop the Light Mana's cheating. It is the Light Mana who is unrepentant.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Raze, generally. Mr. Tony on his better days.
* KarmaHoudini: Martha, especially after [[spoiler:Coronoa finds decisive evidence of her embezzlement of school funds during Yun's character quests.]]
* LampshadeHanging: As the OnlySaneMan (just like Vayne from the previous game), Raze is prone to do this. Possibly slides into BetterThanABareBulb territory...

* LightIsNotGood '''and''' DarkIsNotEvil: arguably the point of the game's StoryArc.

** LuckyTranslation: Due to certain [[Creator/YuriLowenthal casting]] [[Creator/JohnnyYongBosch choices,]] the joke in Puniyo's ending [[ActorAllusion still manages to work.]]

* MamaBear: Ulrika towards Uryu.
* MoodWhiplash: The background music when the party faces the Light Mana is probably the best example. For the first few seconds, the music plays in the typical way as you are about to face some kind of divine being. And then...somebody talked about how blonde hair means evil.
** And then, they ''make fun of him.''
** Let's put this into perspective. The Light Mana is the closest thing to a BigBad that the game has (being [[TheManBehindTheMan the man behind]] Reicher and Tetri), and when the party meets him, the [[LampshadeHanging Lampshade was hung]], and he's become a ButtMonkey to everyone bar [[OnlySaneMan Raze and Yun.]]
* MrImagination: Lily, especially when Raze is concerned. Lampshaded often.
* MultipleEndings: A total of 11: five per each character story, and one for the bonus story.

* NoblewomansLaugh: Marta gives off one of these when things are usually going her way. Also Lily, occasionally.

* OnlySaneMan: Raze in his workshop; Enna in Ulrika's workshop.
** Yun on occasion as well.

* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:Yun]] to his "daughter" Corona.
* PlayerKilling: in-universe during the SchoolFestival TournamentArc, Flay hires Yun, Pepperoni and Goto as "free agents" in order to get rid of weaker competition.
* PowerFist: Enna's WeaponOfChoice, which is ''larger than he is''.
* PowerGivesYouWings: Raze's FinishingMove.
* PrecociousCrush: Possibly [[spoiler:Puniyo on Raze. Her family seems to think so, anyway, and her parents even [[strike:look]] sound like they ''approve'' of it.]]
** And in the beginning of Chapter 8, [[spoiler:Puniyo stated that she will trade Puni Taro for Raze]]. Lily gave, um... mixed reactions to this statement.

* [[RaisedByWolves Raised By Punis]]: Puniyo again.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Reicher, especially after [[spoiler:his encounter with Uryu.]]

* RoadCone: there is a small mention of [[spoiler:Flay's "criminal syndicate",]] but that's pretty much it.
* RocketPunch: Enna's [[LimitBreak Finishing Burst]] ends with his HumongousMecha firing one of these at the enemy.
** He also summons his HumongousMecha's hand and fires it at the enemy during his Intimate Strike.

* ShyFingerTwiddling: Pepperoni, of all people, is prone to this habit.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Ulrika and Uryu appear in this way for other members of the workshop.

* TrainingFromHell: Flay's preferred method of instruction.
** Pepperoni and Goto aren't much better. Unarmed bear fighting and getting boiled alive are their ''sanest'' ideas.

* UnderwaterRuins: Deep Sea Ruins, naturally.

* TheUnintelligible: Puniyo again.
** Subverted in her last character quest, for a short time. [[spoiler:She knows full well that she is human at that point and talks normally, but goes back to speaking the Puni language near the end.]]

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Reicher, played completely straight.

* YinYangBomb: Raze and Ulrika's [[CombinationAttack Intimate Strikes]].
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: the game ends with one group's story? Nope, there are ''two'' more. {{Lampshaded}} by Flay at the beginning of the third story.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Puniyo, Sasalina.

* YaoiFangirl: Chloe is strongly implied to be into this (along with, apparently, a very strong [[{{Shotacon}} desire to see strange things happen to Enna]]) Lily shows shades of this, as well. The yaoi fandom in general is made fun of by the game's script.

** LuckyTranslation: Due to certain [[YuriLowenthal casting]] [[JohnnyYongBosch choices,]] the joke in Puniyo's ending [[ActorAllusion still manages to work.]]

** BadassNormal --> EmpoweredBadassNormal: Raze before and after his encounter with Reicher.

** LittleMissBadass: Puniyo can qualify.

* {{Badass}}
** BadassLongcoat: Raze.

It was localized and released by NIS America in late August, ([[BlindIdiotTranslation wrongly subtitled]], as the original Japanese title is roughly translated to the Alchemists of the Fallen Academy.) The new game features a completely unique cast of characters, except for three cameos. The class and alchemy systems remain more or less unchanged, but the grow book system, battle mechanics, and field monster AI are all retooled.

Using Ulrika as the lead in the third path (where both teams are combined) can also lead to a bug, since, apparently, she cannot read jobs at all.

* BlondGuysAreEvil: Lampshaded by the party members when they encountered the Light Mana, stating something around how boring a blond villain is.

* MoodWhiplash: The background music when the party faces the Light Mana is probably the best example. For the first few seconds, the music plays in the typical way as you are about to face some kind of divine being. And then...somebody lampshaded the BlondGuysAreEvil trope.

The new game features a completely unique cast of characters, except for three cameos. The class and alchemy systems remain more or less unchanged, but the grow book system, battle mechanics, and field monster AI are all retooled.

* AxeCrazy: Reicher [[spoiler:after being influenced by the Soul Mana.]]

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Reicher, played completely straight.

** BadassNormal --> BadassAbnormal: Raze before and after his encounter with Reicher.

* SwissArmyWeapon: Et's RingsOfDeath can transform into a [[TheArcher bow and arrow]] during one of her skills, as well as in an upgraded back-up attack.

** We're told fairly early on in his character quests that [[spoiler:he's not a fairy]], but it's not until near the end of either story that we find out [[spoiler:what he really is: a Mana, or at least partly one.]] See EpilepticTrees over in the YMMV tag.

* [[GirlInABox Boy In A Bag]]: In two TrainingFromHell events in Raze's route, Et brings along Enna inside a bag. [[spoiler:ItGotWorse in the first case, since Et completely forgets about the bag, causing Enna to be trapped ''for the whole week'' inside. When he finally gets out, he nearly dies from dehydration.]]

* {{Casanova}}: Goto. To the point where only the girls in the game's primary cast seem immune to his charms. As Enna points out in Goto's character quest: [[EvenTheGuysWantHim "75% of the school says they want Goto as their boyfriend. This includes 100% of the girls, and one in every three boys."]] An impressive feat for someone who spends most of his time in an animal suit.

* XanatosGambit: All of the bad things that occur in the game are in some way related to either [[spoiler:The bet between the Light and Dark Mana, or the Light Mana's schemes to make sure he won it.]] On a character level, Flay is a master of this trope.
