Hundred Percent Adoration Rating was renamed Universally Beloved Leader in TRS. If an example was removed, it likely isn't a good example as written


* HundredPercentAdorationRating:
** Once the approval rating mechanic is introduced a little ways into the game, you start out with an approval rating for Nelke of about 60-70%, which is displayed most of the time in the top-center of the screen. There are a number of things that can improve it, including having a surplus of goods and completing requests. Furthermore, only certain very specific things such as having expenses greater than earning for two many turns or not balancing the amount of items you sell at shops can decrease it. Therefore, it is fairly easy for anyone with a basic understanding of the game to reach a 100% approval rating for Nelke fairly quickly.
** Outside of the gameplay mechanic, the story itself make it quite clear as the game progresses that all of the alchemists and villagers absolutely adore Nelke for what she's done for the city of Westwald.

* MythologyGag: Plenty, since the game brings together characters from pretty much the entire ''Atelier'' franchise. One such one is that Logy originally appeared as an alchemist in ''VideoGame/AtelierEschaAndLogyAlchemistsOfTheDuskSky'', but then appeared as a blacksmith in the ''Mysterious'' trilogy. One of the friendship events in this game involves Sophie from the ''Mysterious'' trilogy being puzzled over Logy because he has the same name, face and voice as the Logy that she knows.

* MultipleEndings: The game gives you ten tasks - if you fail at any of them save one, then you get a bad ending in which Nelke is forced to return to the capital and is forgotten to history. It's not possible to fail the first or last tasks and as for one of them, see FissionMailed below, is required to be failed. Getting to turn 100 without doing any of the Main research results in a normal ending. Good ending results if some Main research is done, GoldenEnding is achieved if the player completes all Main research.
