History VideoGame / UnlimitedSaga

* BlessedWithSuck: Kurt's gauntlet makes him even stronger, but it's constantly dragging him into [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind battles]]... Roughly every twenty minutes, in fact. In ''actual play time'', mind.
** It also happens at the beginning of quests; Game Time isn't the only factor. It was probably meant to be, but, y'know....ObviousBeta.

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Yun Crimsonrain]] at the end of Armic's quest. He [[spoiler: attacks Armic's party at the Flying Islands]] to prevent the Chapa from controlling the weather through the Tablet they want to save their village from drought with. [[note]]FantasticRacism is implied in his defeat audio, but since the game's an ObviousBeta, a LOT of things are left unexplained....like why he even bothered to help Armic at all if this was an issue of concern.[[/note]]

* ObviousBeta: The game wasn't playtested, which is obvious from all the new, innovative, and ridiculously clunky and awkward systems, the manual was not proofread at all and the game gives off a general lack of polish in all areas.

* BonusBoss: The Rainbow Gucky which randomly appear in a NewGamePlus. [[BossInMookClothing While it looks like a regular Gucky on the map]], it is quite a deal stronger than one and will randomly morph into different type of Guckies, using different attacks based on them. Thankfully, that monster won't go actively after your character and will even run away from it if you're too weak [[http://youtu.be/-zzICa38udA?t=3m17s although some times the game geography will not allow it]]. It's also the only monster dropping Forbidden Magic Tablets.

* Creator/MasashiHamauzu: His music was exceptionally good in places. Not that it could save this game from practically being a FranchiseKiller.

* DarkSkinnedBlond: Mythe. The Silver Girl combines this with white hair.

* MarathonBoss: The final battle. Also, the fight against the [[spoiler: Knights of the Round Table]]. Taken UpToEleven in the scenario of [[spoiler: Mythe as he has then to take on the final boss afterward]].

* SequentialBoss: In Laura's scenario, at some point you have to fight a bunch of mooks, then a dragon and finally [[spoiler:Basil Ghaleos ]]. In Ventus's scenario, you have to fight [[spoiler:the Knight of the Round Table one by one and then their leader]] although you get a special item to help you get through it. Also, the final battle in everyone scenario involves their antagonist [[spoiler: and then the four forms of Chaos]]. Mythe's quest take it UpToEleven by having you having to fight [[spoiler: the Knight of the Round Table, their leader and then Chaos]].

* FinalDeath: It's a ''[=SaGa=]'' game. HP isn't important; lose all your LP and you lose that ally for good.
** This actually isn't true. Losing all LP will only make them inaccessible for the duration of the current quest you're on. [[NonStandardGameOver Lose all of your Main character's LP at anytime, however.....]]

* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: Sometimes though, letting your main character hide in the back row is an option.

* DummiedOut: The game's such an ObviousBeta that loads of features either don't work or are clunkily integrated. (See: The Reel System for Chests/Traps, for instance.)
** A potential example is the [[spoiler: Arcanian Mech]]that Kurt fights [[spoiler: during his final quest at Starship Anchor]]. [[note]]The Mech has three attacks, Field Inducer, Plasma Shower and Aerial Cruiser. However, Field Inducer has three seperate animations: A head-butt, a swipe of Leon's sword (only seen if Leon is atop the mech) and the charging up of a separate cannon. The cannon animation is out-of-place and drawn-out for something minute and comboable. This implies that either A) an extra attack was planned and never implemented or B) the extra animation was a garbage-set they had forgotten to remove post-development. Note that this error concerning the cannon animation persists whether Leon is atop the Mech or not.[[/note]]

* TheFourGods: Actually, the Five Gods in this game. The bosses in [[spoiler: Leith Torle's tower]] are based on them and among them the Black Turtle is a [[ThatOneBoss big pain.]]
** Black Turtle's more of a Boss in Mook Clothing than anything else, actually. If you have Deflecting weapons, your'e good to go. Some Level 4 techs certainly don't hurt, either.

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: The Silver Haired Girl]].

** The "Evasion" label on a Shield doesn't increase your ability to evade - ''your Skill handles that''. It's an estimate of your chances of the Shield blocking an attack, which attacks it can block determined by the Abilities on it.

** Your Endurance and Spirit are your defense against ''status ailments'' (physical and magical, respectively) as opposed to typical defense stats. The armor you wear determines your baseline defense - amplified by any dampening abilities on the pieces and whether you have an Iron Body panel or not. And that's assuming you don't have a parrying weapon in your character's right hand, which only helps more.

** Your Magic stat is not your base Magic damage; it's a multiplier. The damage done by an elemental spell is determined by your character's stat in that one Element. ''Unless it's a Forbidden Spell,'' in which case it's played absolutely straight.

* StatsDissonance: This game has it ''in spades.''

* MetalSlime: The NewGamePlus-specific Rainbow Guckie is absurdly tough to kill, absurdly strong and will actively avoid you on the Adventure Field, if it spawns at all. Defeating it ''[[LuckBasedMission may]]'' cause it to drop a Magic Tablet with Forbidden Arts on it. Whether the reward is worth the risk is up to the player.

** The Blade of Escata in Laura's Quest seems like a decent weapon given its ''infinite durability'' and its [[spoiler: incremental gains in strength during the "Elemental Gears" portion]]. But, you lose practically all of the [[MacGuffin Macguffins]] (and the blade-boosts they provide) anyway when [[spoiler: you hand them to Basil]] and you'll only retain the fifth if you beat a SeeminglyHopelessBossFight. A forged Dagger is more useful than this thing nine times out of ten.

* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Kurt's brother Leon gets assigned to guard-duty within the [[AncientTomb Vaftom Mausoleum]]. It's implied that the isolation from his re-location (And Kurt's [[TheWanderer recent banishment]]) causes him to develop [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy toward his brother so great]] that he [[spoiler: attacks his brother at Starship Anchor if Kurt maxes out the Gauntlet by defeating Domilat]].

* DevelopersForesight: In Ruby's quest, if you attempt to access the Pharos Ruins om Iskandaria before being assigned the option to [[spoiler: enter its associated Wonder in Torle]], a pop-up will announce "You're here too soon" and boot you back to the town screen.

* AntiClimaxBoss: One sidequest has you challenging Dagul Bos, the conqueror that destroyed Escata. Except he's away on business, so you get to fight three of his Minoton bodyguards instead.
** If Kurt doesn't defeat every creature in the Gauntlet before going to Starship Anchor, his penultimate boss is [[spoiler: a bipedal robot with no backstory that isn't very strong]].

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: The Silver Haired Girl]]
* ArtificialLimbs: Mordeus, a monster hunter, has a mechanical arm.

* AntiVillain: Kalandorn. ''[[AmbiguousSituation Possibly]].''
** [[spoiler: Yun]]'s more of a straightforward example. He only wanted to be a mage of equal caliber to Leith Torles and didn't seem to have any malicious intent, but chose to pursue such power by [[spoiler: nearly condemning an entire tribe of {{Beast M|an}}en to their deaths by absconding with the magical rain-making equipment that HE helped to find]]. He's EasilyForgiven.
** [[spoiler: Leon Burgundy]] only developed resentment towards his father and brother because of [[spoiler: how long he spent isolated in the Vaftom Mausoleum]]. He's also EasilyForgiven.
