History VideoGame / TheAwakenedFateUltimatum

* BlamingTheRailroadedPlayerCharacter: While Shin is given a choice in how to proceed with certain situations, they always seem to lead to him earning the scorn and ire of the angels no matter what choice is made due to him being given a SadisticChoice where neither choice has a favorable conclusion or because the story railroads a scene into a specific situation regardless of the choice being made.

* NobleDemon: Hien and Ariael, despite being devils (Hien being a technicality) aren't evil like the vast majority of them.

A rather pessimistic young man named Shin Kamikaze was returning home from school one day when several strange figures with black wings descended from the sky and stabbed him through the chest. Just when he thought he was dead, he woke in a laboratory greeted by two figures -- the angel Jupiel Soraumi, who fought of the strange figures known as devils, and the imprisoned devil Ariael Agarie, who brought Shin back to life by implanting a special crystal known as the Fate Awakening Crystal. However, by implanting the crystal into Shin, he had become God and must now aid the angels in repelling the devils before they are all wiped out.

* BlackAndGreyMorality: With only a couple of exceptions, almost all demons are portrayed onscreen as almost too eager to kill off angels and anything that might remotely aid them. On the other hand, while the angels are trying to stave off extinction, they are also racist and have little empathy towards anything that won't help them towards their goals. Shin, Ariael, and Eri are quite disgusted at how despicable both sides can be and as faithful as she is towards her fellow angels, even Jupiel finds it hard to condone some of the angels' behavior.
* BodyHorror: Those exposed to the power of the Fate Awakening Crystal but are incompatible with it get turned into monsters who remain concious but unable to control their actions. [[spoiler:Shin is forced to mercy kill several these, former humans who were kidnapped by the devil and failed to become Vile Gods, when Phyllis unleashes them on Shin. Also, depending on your choice, Jupiel or Ariael can become just like them.]]
* TheCameo: Liliel, Neliel, Kuroiel, Lanael, and Cheriel from ''VideoGame/TheGuidedFateParadox'' return in the post game. [[spoiler:Mysiel makes a very quick guest appearance as well.]] There are also appearances by [[LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana Shana]] and [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi]] themselves.

* CycleOfRevenge: Whatever the reasons the Angel-Devil War started with, it has been lost in the constant desire to avenge the each other's fallen, and those who think differently end up dead and contribute to the cycle [[spoiler:(Like Mariel and Jupiel's parents, who fell to a [[UngratefulBastard devil they showed kindness to]])]]. While Shin doesn't like it, he realizes that it's sadly a natural thing for anyone to do when Mariel asks him what he would do to the person who caused his parents' deaths.

* DespairEventHorizon / NonstandardGameOver: If you choose to have Shin not try to save Eri after she is kidnapped by devils, he receives a package containing [[spoiler:her severed head.]] This causes him to go full monster, killing everyone around him, destroying Celestia and then the devils that come to investigate the carnage. You are then dumped to the game's title screen.

* DualityMotif: Letecia has heterochromia, one reddish-purple eye and one greenish-blue one. This is explainable by the fact that [[spoiler:she is a merger of two Vile Gods.]]
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Jupiel has a bad case of this. Her room is packed with stuffed animals and at one point after she is released from solitary confinement, the first thing she does it to go straight for comfort in her stuffed animals. This is followed up with an argument with Ariael about whether her behavior of talking to the stuffed animals is normal.
* GoodIsNotNice: Much like ''The Guided Fate Paradox'', the angels have no problem yanking a kid off the street against his will just so they have a powerful weapon against their enemies. They also have a severe LackOfEmpathy that has nothing to do with them and some are incredibly racist towards devils and anything associated with them, even those willing to help them.
* GoodNewsBadNews: If you get the true ending, Mariel tells Phyllis that she has good news and bad news. Phyllis chooses to hear the bad news first. [[spoiler:The "bad news" is now that the ceasefire between the angels and devils is over, the war will simply continue. Phyllis doesn't think it's bad news at all. The "good news" is... that Phyllis is no longer a general, and so must either be disposed of or stay in Celestia, to disposed of should she ''ever'' be caught doing something bad again.]]

* LackOfEmpathy: The angels couldn't care less about Shin or his friends. As long as they see results, he lives. Also Phyllis is generally a complete sadist.

* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: Hien Inugami isn't interested in dirty tricks or dishonorable combat. He doesn't want to fight anyone he doesn't feel is worthy of facing him. Furthermore, when Phyllis temporarily paralyzes both Shin and Jupiel with a neurotoxin, he drives ''her'' and the rest of the devils away, then leaves the Amy Magic Refinery for the angels to do as they please, promising to engage Shin again when they actually have a chance to fight properly.
* LevelGrinding: The game basically warns you from go that you're going to be in trouble if you don't replay dungeons to grind levels, collect useful items and upgrade your equipment. Indeed, each dungeon has progressively stronger enemies and especially earlier in the game, more and more twists are added, including opponents that inflict various status ailments, ones that can attack from a distance and ones that can [[TakingYouWithMe self-destruct for massage damage.]]

* TakeAThirdOption: Throughout the game, you are asked to have Shin make either the "angelic choice" or the "demonic choice." At the end of the game, you have to choose [[spoiler:whether to save the angel Jupiel or the devil Ariael. Once you have seen both endings however, you can save and then load from the save file to go back to the choice. This time, you have a new option, "I'll save them both, no matter what." This is the way to see the game's true ending.]]

* VideoGame3DLeap: Unlike the previous game which used Nippon Ichi's tradition SpritePolygonMix, ''The Awakened Fate Ultimatum'' uses [[CelShading cel-shaded graphics]], making it the second Nippon Ichi game to go full 3D (The first being ''VideoGame/TheWitchAndTheHundredKnight'').

* TakeAThirdOption: Throughout the game, you are asked to have Shin make either the "angelic choice" or the "demonic choice." At the end of the game, you have to choose [[spoiler:whether to save the angel Jupiel or the devil Ariael. Once you have saved one of them, however, and seen the credits, you can save and then load from the save file to go back to the choice. This time, you have a new option, "I'll save them both, no matter what." This is the way to see the game's true ending.]]

* TheCameo: Liliel, Neliel, Kuroiel, Lanael, and Cheriel from ''VideoGame/TheGuidedFateParadox'' return in the post game. [[spoiler:Mysiel makes a very quick guest appearance as well.]]

* ChestMonster: After the first few floors, any treasure chest in the game has the potential to be one of these and they get progressively more powerful. By the end of the game, you'll probably end up having fought quite a lot of them. Especially if you're going for the Trophy for gathering all items, as certain items can only be found in chests, while others have a much better potential to be in chests than dropped by enemies or lying on the ground.

* GoodNewsBadNews: If you get the true ending, Mariel tells Phyllis that she has good news and bad news. Phyllis chooses to hear the bad news first. [[spoiler:The "bad news" is now that the ceasefire between the angels and devils is over, the war will simply continue. Phyllis doesn't think it's bad news at all. The "good news" is... that Phyllis is no longer general, and so must either be disposed of or stay in Celestia, to disposed of should she ''ever'' be caught doing something bad again.]]

* YankTheDogsChain: In a game focused on choice, choice rarely ever matters. Whether Shin chooses the righteous option or the selfish one, it almost always ends in tragedy and getting criticized by the angels.

* LackOfEmpathy: The angels couldn't care less about Shin or his friends. As long as they see results, he lives.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Renya's victory over Satanael in the previous game is mentioned several times.
