History VideoGame / OdinSphere

* RelationshipVoiceActor: Ayako Kawasumi with TomokazuSeki as Onyx. Hmm, [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight where]] [[Manga/RaveMaster have]] [[{{Genshiken}} we seen]] [[NodameCantabile this]] [[GateKeepers relationship before...?]]

* JackOfAllStats:
** Gwendolyn is good with both ground and air combos, but actually becomes closer to a LightningBruiser once you get the hang of using her gliding, and especially when she learns Shadow Ally.
** Cornelius's ground combos are the most awkward of the cast, but his air combos are good. His play style requires mastering his "jump and strike" strategies.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Oswald. He only shows his nice side to people he truly trusts.

* GeniusBruiser: Demon Lord Odin, King of Ragnanival. Physically huge and powerful. Calculatingly smart and cunning. Wields an enormous Psypher morningstar. [[InformedAbility Knows a thousand spells.]]
* GlassCannon: Mercedes. Lowest HP growth, packs a mean crossbow. Also pretty agile, considering she can freely fly.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: Oswald acts cold and indifferent, but reveals a kinder side when with Gwendolyn.
* SuperMode: Oswald's Shadow Form, which he can assume at any time. As mentioned, however, it depletes his POW in a hurry even when he's stock still (which is why the Power Stone and Unlimited Power potions are so important to him), and it also prevents him from casting spells or using items (so power up ''first''). Further, Shadow Knights who abuse the black sword's power too much die and become Revenants, the miserable phantoms that haunt Horn Mountain in Winterhorn Ridge.

* FragileSpeedster: Velvet. After playing as Oswald, her speed is surprising. She also has the absolute worst attack strength, but her chains have the second-best range the game (including a long-distance homing strike), which helps her keep away from harm.

* TedBaxter: Lord Brigan. He constantly boasts about his power and his loyalty to king Odin. However, he is defeated five times in all throughout the game by just about every main character. Mercedes is the only one not to defeat him, because the two don't even meet. Gwendolyn defeats him ''twice'', though, living [[spoiler:and undead]].

Aside from its multiple playable characters and connected story, ''OdinSphere'' is notable for its high-quality 2D art (similar to ''GrimGrimoire'', another Vanillaware game released that same year), in an age when almost all new games are being displayed in three dimensions. Many, many of the tropes, characters and plot devices in this game are inspired heavily by NorseMythology, and especially Creator/RichardWagner's ''[[Theatre/DerRingDesNibelungen Der Ring des Nibelungen]]''.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Played straight with all of the royal characters, four of which are [=PCs=], except for Cornelius' father, who is old and decrepit at the time of the story. [[spoiler:Actually, ''all'' of the [=PCs=] are royals, but Oswald doesn't find out until the good ending.]]
** And in the BackStory, Cornelius' father Edmund followed this trope as well, when he [[spoiler:used the Psypher sword Cornelius now wields to defeat his father King Gallon -- ''smashing out all the teeth from all three mouths'' and then killing him -- when Gallon lost control over the power of Darkova and rampaged around his own city]].

* ShoutOut: The Napples return from PrincessCrown. A common misconception is they are also a reference to NappleTale.

* SmiteMeOhMightySmiter: [[spoiler:Ingway,if you choose Mercedes to fight him during Armageddon.]]

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Princess Crown'', a 1997 {{Atlus}} title for the SegaSaturn developed by the dev team that went on to become Creator/{{Vanillaware}}. During development, ''Odin Sphere'' was even referred to as ''Princess Crown 2''.
* StalkerWithACrush: Brigan plans to turn Gwendolyn into his concubine. Onyx too.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: In Velvet's chapter, several merchants comment on her outfit. One of the merchants in the snow level says something to the effect of, "You're up here on this mountain and you're dressed like ''that?'' You're tough! Buy a warming potion, will you?"
** The other mountain merchant wonders if the "half-naked chick" is just a hallucination.

* TakingYouWithMe [[spoiler: Belial killing Urzur, who had been controlling him, just before he dies of his mortal wounds.]]

* TheStarscream: General Brigan.
* TedBaxter: Lord Brigan. He constantly boasts about his power and his loyalty to king Odin. However, he is defeated five times in all throughout the game by just about every main character. Mercedes is the only one not to defeat him, arguably because the two don't even meet. Gwendolyn defeats him ''twice'', though, living [[spoiler:and undead]].
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Possibly Mercedes and Ingway]].
** More obviously, [[spoiler:Odin and Griselda]]. The former literally embraces the latter's ghost in death, finding solace in that they will at least be reunited.

* TokenMiniMoe: Mercedes.

* TragicMonster: Belial, as well as [[spoiler: Ingway]].
* ThemeNaming: Every (named) female Pooka has a name that begins with "M," with one exception: [[spoiler:Velvet, at the end of the game.]] The Wise Men also have names derived from the Norns: Urzur (Urd), Beldor (Verthandi, also known as [[Manga/AhMyGoddess Belldandy]] in Japan) and Skuldi (Skuld).

* WellDoneSonGuy: Where to ''start''? Gwendolyn is the most blatant example, but Oswald counts too. And let's not forget the strong implication that the main reason [[spoiler:Ingway let the Cauldron run amok, ''destroying his entire country'',]] wasn't just to ''save'' [[spoiler:Odin]], but also to [[spoiler:earn his love]].

* GameplayAndStorySegregation:
** Most prominently when you fight other main characters as part of one character's story; they're several dozen times more powerful than they would be at that point in time in their own story. This is painfully obvious when you're forced to fight Mercedes, who is one of the hardest PC-boss fights, but when you get to ''her'' book, she starts as the weakest of the five. Of course, "[[MagikarpPower starts]]" is the keyword here.

* OhCrap: Admit it, you were thinking this when you first saw Belial.
** [[spoiler: And so did Urzur right before being chomped by a dying Belial.]]

* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:King Valentine, who is also the one of the few unsympathetic villains, not coincidentally]].

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: There are three dragons in the game: Hindel, a wise, future-seeing dragon who offered advice to the fairies and Velvet before being killed by Oswald as a demonstration of his Psypher's power; Belial, whose compassion to humans doomed him into being deceived by the Wise Men and being enslaved by their magic; and Wagner, the enormously angry King of Dragons who refuses to listen to reason until you beat the tar out of him first.
** And then there's Leventhan, the Last Dragon, one of the prophesied Five Disasters.

** Griselda might be acting as a perfect daughter for Odin by accident. Gwendolyn, however, struggles with meeting Odin's standards.

* ProphecyTwist: Quite a few, detailed in the NoManOfWomanBorn section. The vague wording of the prophecy of the Armageddon leads to many [[PropheticFallacy Prophetic Fallacies]] as well.
** Hindel, the future-seeing dragon, lampshades this and is something of a deconstruction. Because every hint of the future he gives always had twists, he stopped giving help.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Mercedes, but it's a natural feature of being a fairy. However, Oswald has them despite being a human, presumably because he's the Shadow Knight. In his [[SuperMode Shadow Form]], one eye creepily disappears in the blackness while the other upgrades to a single [[GlowingEyesOfDoom Glowy Eye Of Doom]].
* RelationshipVoiceActor: AyakoKawasumi is Gwendolyn while MamikoNoto is Mercedes.
** Also Ayako Kawasumi again with TomokazuSeki as Onyx. Hmm, [[FateStayNight where]] [[RaveMaster have]] [[{{Genshiken}} we seen]] [[NodameCantabile this]] [[GateKeepers relationship before...?]]
* ReviveKillsZombie: Glue Onyx to the spot with an "Ooze" potion to stop ThatOneAttack.

* TheMagicGoesAway: Possibly. [[spoiler:Never explicitly said, but since most of Erion's Phozons, the source of magic and life, were "lost", it's a fair assumption that magic is much harder to cast AfterTheEnd. Alternatively, Leventhan's body -- which had absorbed all of those phozons -- wasn't releasing its stolen phozons fast enough. Things might return to normal eventually]].
** Either way, the best ending has [[spoiler:Gwendolyn losing her wings for good]].
* ManipulativeBastard: Odin and Gwendolyn will refer differently to each other (princess versus valkyrie, father versus king) in order to provoke different reactions. Any time Odin wants something from Gwendolyn, he'll play on her emotions, interchanging familial address with knighthood rank.

* MeaningfulName: Fimbulvetr, Nidhogg, [[spoiler: Yggdrasil]]
** [[spoiler: King Edmund of Titania had a brother named Edgar. If you've read King Lear, this should sound familiar.]]
** Leventhan seems to be a portmanteau of "Leviathan" and "Laevatein." The former is a giant snake (snake-like dragon, which also fills in nicely for Jormungandr) and the latter is a weapon that would burn the world (Leventhan's breath of destruction).

* NintendoHard: As with all {{Atlus}} titles, this one is no exception.
** Ventures into FakeDifficulty. Often. Partly because every action your character takes is so damn ''lovingly rendered'', it takes a second to recover from even a simple attack (yours or an enemy's). And just about every attack from enemies (and bosses) has MagicPriority over your own.
** Enemies and projectiles flying off in multiple directions simultaneously can occasionally trigger a [[DisasterDominoes cascading disaster]]. For example, you can get dizzied by a laser beam, torched by wizard's flame, [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a frog]] and ''then'' [[DeathFromAbove one-hit killed from above]] by a midboss's jumping attack. All within the span of ten seconds.
** The main problem seems to stem from the fact that the game recommends you engage enemies only in one-on-one combat. The problem is that there is almost never a point in the game where you fight anything less than 5 enemies at once, you can never fight the way the game intended you to. [[FakeDifficulty This means that the game is broken on an almost fundamental level]].
* NoManOfWomanBorn: Onyx is doomed to be stopped by TheWorldTree. Since there's no known World Tree in Erion he therefore believes he's impossible to kill. [[spoiler:Mercedes' true name is Yggdrasil, the name of the Norse mythology world tree, and to get the good ending you must have her kill him.]]

*** This, story-wise, was a [[FridgeBrilliance very clever way to throw players off]]. [[spoiler: The beast of Darkova is the one who can only be killed by Titanian royal blood, and the final book pits you against ''two'' of them: Igway turned into Darkova, and King Gallon, an undead Darkova. Some players didn't get the part about Odette's power, and fought Gallon with Cornelius. Doesn't help that the hints regarding Oswald's true lineage are ''very'' oblique.]]

* KillerRabbit: Leventhan, the Last Dragon, is an adorable baby dragon when you first battle him as Gwendolyn. A small flying target that can be hard to hit, and he's even wearing part of his eggshell on his head! Who also unleashes a WaveMotionGun BreathWeapon after he TurnsRed.

* KungFuProofMook: The green Ooze enemies in Titania capital receive only ScratchDamage from melee strikes, a major problem for Cornelius. But they die quickly when hit with a [[KillItWithFire "Napalm" potion]], or Mercedes's crossbow.
** Blizzard potions, Oswald's [[SuperMode Shadow form]], and Velvet's homing chain will also OneHitKO them as well.
* {{Kuudere}}: Oswald.

* {{Pettanko}}: Mercedes

* IfICantHaveYou: [[spoiler: After being beaten, Onyx considers doing this to Gwendolyn, but is stopped by Oswald.]]
** Twisted but played straight by [[spoiler: King Valentine to his daughter.]]

* ImpossibleTask: Referenced by Gwendolyn; apparently, Odin gives these to people frequently, and Cornelius is just the latest unfortunate. However, he manages to succeed, with a little help from Gwendolyn.
** Onyx tries to do this with Oswald as a way to indirectly MurderTheHypotenuse. Gwendolyn is Not Having It.

* JackOfAllStats: Gwendolyn, and Cornelius to a degree. Gwen is good with both ground and air combos, but Cornelius' ground combos seem worse than his aerial ones. His play style requires mastering his "jump and strike" strategies.
** Cornelius's ground combos are the most awkward of the cast, but his air combos are good. Gwendolyn actually becomes closer to a LightningBruiser once you get the hang of using her gliding, and especially when she learns Shadow Ally.

* JustShootEm: There are many times in the story where [[spoiler: King Valentine]] is speaking at length about his plans to bring about armageddon in front of someone who wants to prevent said armageddon and who can easily destroy him. However, said characters tend to be infuriatingly merciful towards the future destroyer of the world.

[[quoteright:189:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Odin_Sphere_4977.jpg]]

* WhitePrince: Cornelius.

* FreudianExcuse: Pulled off pretty well in [[spoiler:Velvet and Ingway's differing reactions to being forced to abandon their mother to her death in order to save themselves from their insane grandfather]].

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Most prominently when you fight other main characters as part of one character's story; they're several dozen times more powerful than they would be at that point in time in their own story.
** This is painfully obvious when you're forced to fight Mercedes, who is one of the hardest PC-boss fights, but when you get to ''her'' book, she starts as the weakest of the five. Of course, "[[MagikarpPower starts]]" is the keyword here.

** Too bad being forced to reload leaves a ''huge'' opening for attacks, specially against bosses, even the mid ones, thanks to their screen-crossing leaps.
*** Pop an Unlimited Power potion and you've got yourself a near-GameBreaker there. Or, just absorb some Phozons whenever you have the chance.

* {{Gotterdammerung}}: The nation of Valentine.

** Averted, however, when fighting other protagonists. For example, although Mercedes defeats Oswald in her book, Oswald's book avoids the battle entirely, although the composite nature of the story implies that it still took place.

* HeroesPreferSwords: Cornelius gets a Psypher broad sword, which given the shortness of his new Pooka body, is more of a [[{{BFS}} greatsword]] for him. Sadly, we never learn if it has a name. Oswald also has the Belderiver, which appears to be a longsword.
* HeyItsThatVoice: NorioWakamoto as a {{Shinigami}} {{Mook}} named Halja. Oh, he also gets to speak in sentences rather than just grunt when one [[spoiler:claims Oswald's life in Gwendolyn's chapter]].
** Other notable voices includes MamikoNoto, FumihikoTachiki and TomokazuSeki.
** AyakoKawasumi as Gwendolyn and TomokazuSeki as Onyx in their usual RelationshipVoiceActor. Their characters are either each other's love interst or he has an unrequited love for her and refuses to take no for an answer; this game being the latter.
** The English dub is basically a ''Bleach'' reunion (concerning the playable characters, at least). Gwendolyn is Soifon, Cornelius is Keigo, Mercedes is Orihime, Oswald is Uryu, and Velvet is Rukia.

* {{Expy}}: A short guy with blond hair, a green hood and a glowing sword who ''loves'' spinning attacks? Is it just me, or does Cornelius look an awful lot like [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]]?
** Let's not forget his turning into a rabbit-like creature upon entering the games closest equivalent to the Dark World.
** Some thought the way Cornelius fought had a [[MegaManZero Zero]] vibe to it. At the very least, it could be the reason why his story felt like the easiest and how his fighting style felt natural.
** There's also how Gwendolyn and Onyx resemble Saber and Gilgamesh from [[FateStayNight Fate/Stay Night]], including [[RelationshipVoiceActor Relationship Voice Actors]].

* FetishFuelStationAttendant: How about all five protagonists. This game caters to both the male and female gamer's fetishes.
** The inhabitants of the Fire Kingdom, Onyx and his Vulcan attendants/soldiers, also qualify. Onyx himself is a WhiteHairedPrettyBoy, and a constant WalkingShirtlessScene. Just watch out for his GameFace. The Vulcans are well built beauties in {{Stripperiffic}} outfits, literal Hot Chicks With Swords, and all are [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl White Haired Pretty Girls]]. Unlike their master, the fact that they become slightly more monstrous when they use their {{GameFace}}s is evened out because they drop all pretenses and go for FullFrontalAssault.

* ChekhovsArmory

** Fairies have two names, a given name and a True Name. All the true names are (like everything else) based on Norse mythology. [[spoiler: The World Tree in the prophecy is Yggdrasil, Mercedes' true name.]]
** Cornelius' uncle had been removed from the the throne by his grandfather for falling in love with and marrying a commoner girl. [[spoiler: His name was Edgar, Oswald's father. Oswald has royal blood and Odette's power, allowing him to slay King Gallon.]]

** Likewise Odette is not necessarily evil, but only doing her job to keep the world running.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: In the bad ending, [[spoiler:KillEmAll everybody dies]]. In the good ending, [[spoiler: Oswald and Gwendolyn earn their happy ending together, and Cornelius and Velvet survive as Pooka]]. In the best ending, [[spoiler: Cornelius and Velvet become human again]].
** The good ending requires the player to [[NoManOfWomanBorn interpret a series of prophecies]] so that each of the five heroes fights during the Apocalypse in the correct order. Unfortunately, to get the best ending the player has to [[OneHundredPercentCompletion see every cutscene possible]]... including the DownerEnding cutscenes that spring from messing up the correct boss fight order. This means you have to fight through the Apocalypse about five times with the five heroes wrongfully matched against the five opponents to get the best ending.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Princess Crown'', a 1997 {{Atlus}} title for the SegaSaturn developed by the dev team that went on to become {{Vanillaware}}. During development, ''Odin Sphere'' was even referred to as ''Princess Crown 2''.

''Odin Sphere'' is an ActionRPG published by {{Atlus}} and developed by {{Vanillaware}}, released in the late end of the [=PlayStation 2's=] life cycle.

* BerserkButton: Whatever his faults, Oswald tends to have a very direct and violent reaction to anyone he perceives as manipulating, using, or treating another person as an 'object'.

* {{BFS}}: Cornelius inverts this; his broadsword is reasonably sized for a human, but his Pooka body is ''way'' too small to wield it the way he does.

* BizarreSexualDimorphism: The mini-boss Vulcans and Onyx all appear to be of the same race, but while normal Vulcans grow horns, have their hair replaced by fire and become naked when they transform, Onyx changes into something somewhat akin to a Balrog.

* BrokenAesop: [[spoiler:Oswald fights to protect Gwendolyn's freedom when she's cursed to sleep until awoken by a kiss, citing that humans are not objects and have the right to be free. He's reluctant to wake her at first, knowing she'll be bound to love him against her own wishes if he does, but later he finds out that it was a bluff on Odin's part: the spell ''only'' makes her sleep. When he wakes Gwendolyn, she falls in love with him because of her own feelings-- but Oswald ''never tells her that'', even knowing how loyal and faithful she is by nature. So it's not okay to use people, but apparently it's okay to lie to them to get them to do what you want.]]
** [[spoiler: As mentioned under AboveTheInfluence and given Oswald's character, it's more likely a case of PoorCommunicationKills. That is, he either assumed she already knew the truth, either because her father didn't tell her the same lie about a love spell before putting her to sleep, or assumed that after she woke up, Myris would have told her during one of the times he wasn't around. Leaving Myris to break the news instead of doing it himself makes sense, given that Gwendolyn saw him as an enemy and wasn't inclined to trust him. Myris, for her part, seems to have assumed that Oswald ''did'' tell Gwendolyn.]]

* CastFromHitPoints: Although there are no actual attacks of this nature, the "V" alchemy potion causes the player's next attack to inflict [[ArmorPiercingAttack armor piercing]] damage in direct proportion to their HP, at the cost of reducing their HP to one afterwards.

* LesYay: Despite being [[spoiler:half-sisters,]] Gwendolyn and Velvet really have their moments. Overlaps with FoeYay when they are confronting one another.

* FridgeBrilliance: Aside from his relation to Odette and the Titanian Royal Family, there's another reason only Oswald can defeat Gallon; generic characters used against Gallon after killed by the overwhelming Halja forces he brings with him (Cornelius is eaten). The Halja would be unwilling to aid Gallon against Oswald; they're all too scared of him and the Belderiver!

** Leventhan seems to be a portmanteau of "Leviathan" and "Laevatein." The former is a giant snake (snake-like dragon, which also fills in nicely for Jormungandr) and the latter is a weapon that would burn the world (Leventhan's breath of destruction). FridgeBrilliance?

** The inhabitants of the Fire Kingdom, Onyx and his Vulcan attendants/soldiers, also qualify. Onyx himself is a WhiteHairedPrettyBoy, and a constant WalkingShirtlessScene. Just watch out for his GameFace. The Vulcans are well built beauties in {{Striperiffic}} outfits, literal Hot Chicks With Swords, and all are [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl White Haired Pretty Girls]]. Unlike their master, the fact that they become slightly more monstrous when they use their {{GameFace}}s is evened out because they drop all pretenses and go for FullFrontalAssault.

** The good ending requires the player to [[NoManOfWomanBorn interpret a series of prophecies]] so that each of the five heroes fights during the Apocalypse in the correct order. Unfortunately, to get the best ending the player has to [[HundredPercent see every cutscene possible]]... including the DownerEnding cutscenes that spring from messing up the correct boss fight order. This means you have to fight through the Apocalypse about five times with the five heroes wrongfully matched against the five opponents to get the best ending.

Aside from its multiple playable characters and connected story, ''OdinSphere'' is notable for its high-quality 2D art (similar to ''GrimGrimoire'', another Vanillaware game released that same year), in an age when almost all new games are being displayed in three dimensions. Many, many of the tropes, characters and plot devices in this game are inspired heavily by NorseMythology, and especially Creator/RichardWagner's ''[[DerRingDesNibelungen Der Ring des Nibelungen]]''.

* CompositeCharacter: More like a composite ''story''; pretty much the entire plot is an amalgam of ''DerRingDesNibelungen'' and NorseMythology (especially the parts concerning Ragnarok)

** [[spoiler: Of course, [[PoorCommunicationKills no one tells]] ''Gwendolyn'' that Odin didn't cast the love spell on her. She finishes both her chapter and Oswald's thinking that her feelings are only caused by said spell, but accepts it anyway. Squick indeed.]]
*** Perhaps Oswald assumed that Odin ''hadn't'' told his daughter the same lie, or that Myris told her when he left them alone (whereas Myris might have thought Oswald told her when she left them alone)? Might be a case of PoorCommunicationKills.
*** More simply, Oswald is [[spoiler:still infested by the [[DeadManWalking Belderiver's curse]]. The more Gwendolyn is likes him, the worse [[TheProblemWithFightingDeath the inevitable]] will be. Not having a very high [[DarkAndTroubledPast view of himself]] to begin with, he's just continuing the trend of treating himself as disposable, even in their relationship. Sure enough, their attachment causes [[NiceJobBreakingItHero bigger problems]] than either could have imagined.]]
**** Luckily, [[spoiler:The Belderiver is destroyed during the Armageddon, freeing Oswald of its curse.]]

* AdamAndEvePlot: One of the ancient prophecies foretells that only ''two'' people survive the Armageddon to revive the world. [[spoiler: Gwendolyn and Oswald. Velvet and Cornelius survive as well, but as Pooka...]]
** [[spoiler:Only to regain their human shape in the Good Ending]].

* CallARabbitASmeerp: Pookas, in a literal example, but we also have Napples, Carroteers, Habernistos, Onionnes, and Turnies.

* EvilChancellor: Every side has at least one.

** Some thought the way Cornelius fought had a [[{{MegaManZero}} Zero]] vibe to it. At the very least, it could be the reason why his story felt like the easiest and how his fighting style felt natural.

* {{Forced Tutorial}}: The entire first story, ''Valkyrie'', has tutorials spread around that are unskippable in your first playthrough. Thankfully, when you revisit previous areas or start the book over, you don't have to deal with them again.

** {{Ayako Kawasumi}} as Gwendolyn and {{Tomokazu Seki}} as Onyx in their usual {{relationship voice actor}}. Their characters are either each other's love interst or he has an unrequited love for her and refuses to take no for an answer; this game being the latter.

** Blizzard potions, Oswald's [[SuperMode Shadow form]], and Velvet's homing chain will also OneHitKO them as well.

** Griselda might be acting as a perfect daughter for Odin by accident. Gwendolyn, however, struggles with meeting Odin's standards.

* SmiteMeOhMightySmiter: [[spoiler:Ingway,if you choose Mercedes to fight him during Armageddon.]]
