Tear Ring Saga Series: Berwick Saga Lazberia chronicle chapter 174 is a 2005 video game created by Shouzou Kaga, the creator of the Fire Emblem series, and his company Tirnanog for the Playstation 2. The legal mess caused by TearRing Saga prompted him to radically change his SRPG formula into his next game. The result is a vastly different and complex game while maintaining the superficial elements to the Fire Emblem series.The story of Berwick Saga takes place in the continent of Lazberia, in the same world as Lieberia from Tear Ring Saga, but roughly a millennium after the events of that game.It has been over a decade since the beginning of the most recent in a long history of bloody wars between the Berwick League and their bitter enemy, the Raze Empire. The Berwick League, led by the Kingdom of Veria, quickly falls apart after the death of King Mordias IV of Veria, and more than half of the League's lands are swiftly occupied by the Raze Empire. Due to a relatively recent civil war among the nations of the Berwick League, several of its members decide to defect and assist the Raze Empire in its invasion.Mordias's son and successor King Volcens flees with his court to the Duchy of Narvia, the land of his loyal vassal Duke Roswick, where he attempts to rebuild the Berwick League and prepare for a counterattack against the Raze Empire. Volcens calls across the land to all remaining loyal members of the League to join him in his fight. In answer to the king's call, Reese, the son of a nobleman in the frontier lands of the Kingdom of Veria, arrives in the Duchy of Narvia with a small company of knights. However, beset by enemies both external and internal, the revitalized Berwick League is in danger of falling apart once more.While officially a sequel to Tear Ring Saga, the games are not significantly related by plot and barely resemble each other in terms of gameplay.An English fan translation has been completed, and you can grab it here.

Ragtag Bunchof Misfits: Downplayed. The Sinon Knights are all professional soldiers and most of the default recruitable units are either royalty or soldiers themselves. Only the mercenary units apply for it and even then they are less quirky than the usual examples of this trope.

Darker and Edgier: When compared to TearRing Saga and to most Fire Emblem games. While both games starts off with their side being mostly good aside from a few traitors, Berwick Saga starts off with with Reese and his knights fighting off deserters from his own side, and upon entering Navarron, both he and player slowly realize that the The Empire isn't the only enemy that have to worry about...

Anti-Armor
 Berwick Saga (Video Game) / int_181dfab8
comment
Anti-Armor: Weapons and ammunition such as the Rapier, Estoc and the Bodkin arrows are able to bypass the target's shield and directly deal damage, and some weapons such as the Breaker Axe and the Shield-Breaker arrows are able to destroy shields instantly, although they need to inflict damage or else the effect will not work. The Hammer, however, not only bypasses shields but also negates the defense of Armor class enemies.

Religion of Evil: Averted with the Raze Church. [[spoiler: Dark Is Not Evil applies to them until the reign of Pope Urbanus IV and even then he is quickly ousted out of power at the end of the game after his coup'd'eat is foiled. Even his rise is said to have been fueled by decades of the Verian kings' own misdeeds, and the Verian Church being willing to forgive them].]

Relationship Values: While Berwick Saga doesn't have a lover system, it does have a happiness value for mercenaries that is usually a requirement in order for them to be permanently recruited to the Sinon Knights.

David Versus Goliath
 Berwick Saga (Video Game) / int_1b3b48f3
comment
David Versus Goliath: The Sinon Knights, who number approximately 100 men, are able to routinely defeat bandit gangs and enemies armies twice their number, but this is later averted in Chapter 13 where the Sinon Knights' 500 is forced to delay the Imperial Army that numbers a 10,000, and while they are able to fight well, by the end of the fight are nearly overrun by swarms of Elite Mooks, which would've resulted in an absolute defeat for them if it weren't for the armistice forcing the Imperials to retreat.

 Berwick Saga (Video Game) / int_20cf2065
comment
Jousting Lance: Lances are a sub-weapon of Spears usable only by certain mounted classes. Lance type weapons cannot counter or be countered, but deal greatly increased damage based on a charge which is how much the unit moved before initiating the attack. Spears operate like this as well, but to a less exaggerated extent, can be used any spear using class and can counter provided they either dodge or take no damage.

Crapsack World: The continent of Lazberia is plagued with an ongoing Hopeless War between the Berwick League and the Raze Empire, and even that doesn't stop the constant Civil Wars and conspiracies that plague both countries. The common citizens not only have to suffer the ravages of war that the two sides of inflicted upon each other, bandit and pirate gangs take advantage of the chaos to Rape, Pillage, and Burn.

Sidequest: In-between the main chapters are optional side chapters, and the catch is that neither Reese or Ward are allowed to participate in these missions. Adding to that is the various citizen requests that usually requires finding or retrieving an item in the main chapters or the side chapters themselves.

Succession Crisis

comment
Succession Crisis: In the backstory, the death of King Harmel VII of Veria results in the Berwick League being split into two factions (The Eastern Powers and Western Powers) and waged a bloody war that lasted for nearly four years, that led to the defeat and destruction of the Eastern Kingdoms of Pesil, Ishs and Leia as well as the imprisonment of Duke Bernard. Much later in the game, the Raze Empire also experiences one as well upon the death of Emperor Cleiman VI, with General Zephyrus supporting his nephew, the newly crowned Emperor Manaris and his mother, Anastasia, who is also his older sister, against the forces of Prince Faisal and Pope Urbanus IV. This ends with Zephyrus emerging victorious against the duo, killing the former while the latter and his followers are ousted from the Raze Church thanks to his second-in-command Arcturus.

Piñata Enemy: On certain missions, enemy caravan units carry extremely rare and valuable items and weapons, but they are usually well-protected while they make their way towards the end of the map in order to escape. Also, certain enemy units hold coins that add money to your purse and treasure items that are worth 5000g when sold.

A Taste of Power: At the start of the game, Reese and his knights ride the Sinon Stallions, horses with good HP and grants the rider an additional +2 to their agility stat. Unfortunately, they get stolen right after entering the city of Navarron and you'll have to buy regular horses from the town stables. You do recover some of the horses in a later sidequest, but you'll be able to recover 3 of them at best.

Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Unlike in the Fire Emblem series, shields will reduce incoming damage (depending on the shield's Defense stat), with the Shield weapon skill and Skill stat of the character affecting the chance of activation. Some shields go as far as increasing the magical resistance against a certain element or even reflecting damage back to the attacker.

Attack the Injury
 Berwick Saga (Video Game) / int_5102055b
comment
Attack the Injury: To capture a unit, a player must repeatedly attack a target in order to force an injury state out of them, then deal massive damage to the injured unit but not enough to outright kill them to cripple it, allowing the player to properly capture the unit. Certain weapons (Knives, the Harpoon spear and the Blizzard spell) and skills (Flourish and Maim) have a high injury rating that increases the chances of forcing an injury state on the target.

The Church: The Verian Church for the Berwick League who worships Veria, the Earth Mother and Goddess of the Day and Rebirth, and the Raze Church for the Raze Empire who in turn worships Raze, the Sky Father and God of the Night and Death. The two were formerly of the same religion in the Lazberian Empire (With the two gods originally just two aspects of the same god) but a schism occurred and eventually the Veria sect was sidelined and exiled by the Empire who preferred the powerful god of darkness.

Motive Decay: The Berwick League was founded in order to protect the three eastern kingdoms of Pesil, Ish and Leia from the expansionism of the Raze Empire, but later on in it's history, King Mordias IV convinces the Raze Empire to help him win the civil war against the three eastern kingdoms in a great perversion to the League's original goals.

The Empire
 Berwick Saga (Video Game) / int_556a4e20
comment
The Empire: The Raze Empire. While initially presented as an antagonistic evil empire, further information of them as the game goes on reveals a far more complex picture, with the fact that they were exacting retribution against the aggression of the Berwick League. The Lazberian Empire plays this straight. An empire founded by the remnants of another evil empire that considers its pure-blooded citizens the Master Race to such an intense degree that they practiced slavery against the lower classes and enacted laws that further distanced themselves from the lower classes, such as forbidding mixed-race marriages and exiling dissenting citizens from the capital.

Fantasy Counterpart Culture: The Berwick League is modeled on the Delian League, an alliance of Ancient Greek city states united against the Persian Empire, with the Kingdom of Veria being the Athens counterpart. The Raze Empire has explicit parallels with the Ottoman Empire, both being a large and prosperous empire that has a heavily stratified society. The Raze Church is modeled after the Catholic Church (original and hierarchical) and the Verian Church is Protestant (separatist and reformist).

Empty Levels: Averted. The game uses a pseudo random system called "bracketed growth". Basically, each time a unit levels up, there's a chance of each stat going up. In addition to that, each character has maximum and minimal expected stats for a given level. The game will not allow a unit to have a particular stat to be too high or too low. This prevents balance issues and ensures that characters function in their respective roles as designed.

Armor Is Useless
 Berwick Saga (Video Game) / int_638b65bc
comment
Armor Is Useless: Averted. Unlike the Fire Emblem series in which defense is based entirely on character growth and class-based caps, rather than what armor a character is physically wearing, Berwick Saga has units able to equip shields that are able to greatly reduce incoming physical damage, and the shield's defense stat stacks with the unit's defense stat, enabling them to even completely take no damage if high enough and able to perform a counterattack as if they evaded. Also, heavily armored units are able to equip far stronger shields that, alongside their naturally high defense, enable them to be completely immune to physical attacks and require weapons that bypass shields or magic to defeat them.

Big Brother Instinct: Or rather, Little Brother's. This is Zephyrus's core motivation.

When he hears that King Volcens intends to execute him on Berwick Isle, he immediately goes and slaughters the guards inside the prison, unaware that the Sinon Knights are also intent on saving his brother.

Escape Sequence
 Berwick Saga (Video Game) / int_6af6887
comment
Escape Sequence: A common chapter objective just like with the Fire Emblem games but with a unique twist in that sometimes it is combined with Hold the Line in which the Sinon Knights have to buy time in order for defenseless civilians or wounded soldiers to escape, then they themselves must escape in time or else the mission is a failure (if the Lord character fails to escape in time) or any remaining straglers are automatically captured by the enemy, forcing you to pay a ransom. One level has you assaulting a heavily guarded fortress to rescue a highly valued ally and his comrades, then you have to protect them from incoming enemies in order for them to escape while ensuring your forces have enough time to escape themselves.

Hopeless War: The game starts off with the Berwick League suffering massive defeats and the loss of the Kingdom of Veria at hands of the Raze Empire. It doesn't help that King Volcens's poor military decisions makes things even worse for the League as the game goes on. The Berwick League is finally defeated in the final chapters, with Navarron being taken over by Imperial Forces.

Guide Dang It!: Certain foods from the Kingfisher Pavilion bestow unique effects for the unit, like healing their horses' HP to increasing their weapon ranks. The game doesn't tell you which food has them. It also doesn't help that each unit has their own list of liked or disliked food, where feeding them the right one has them gain better bonus effects but the wrong one has them suffer a slight penalty to one of their stats.

 Berwick Saga (Video Game) / int_71328ed7
comment
Weapon Grip Failure: During combat, there is a chance that an attack forces a unit to lose their grip over their weapon or shield, leaving them in an unequipped status until they can reequip during their next turn. Axes have a great chance of knocking away a unit's weapon and/or shield while those with the skill Knock Away can also forcibly unequip an enemy's shield.

Easy Logistics: Averted. It is used to justify why only the basic weapons and shields can be bought in the early chapters due to King Volcens using them for his army, and the Atelier sidequests sometimes give you the tasks of obtaining imperial weapons from the battlefield to repurpose them due to the ongoing war depleting resources, and a sidequest chapter has the Sinon Knights hunting down an Imperial Squad using guerrilla tactics to damage supply lines. In-game: money is not easy to earn and the player needs to learn when and what to use their limited amount of funds to use for their army and which mercenaries to use since their hiring fees rise with each successive level up.

Crutch Character: Ward, who averts this. While not flashy, his stats and weapon versatility enable him to last until the end of the game. The two cavaliers, Leon and Adel perform quite well in the early-game due to their impressive set of skills, but their usefulness lessens as the game goes on due to their average base stats and growth rates hampering them. Izerna is the first healer you get early on and only until Chapter 4 you get more healers that outclass her in use.

Invulnerable Horses: Averted. Horses can and will die during the course of a battle and the rider will be dismounted as a result. Different horses also have different HP values and some even offer stat bonuses. There are (limited) ways to heal them between battles.

Controllable Helplessness
 Berwick Saga (Video Game) / int_9a1f23bf
comment
Controllable Helplessness: A player unit inflicted with the Crippled status has them suffer a great penalty to all of their stats and leaves them unable to due anything except moving and even that has a random chance of being forced to end their turn regardless of their remaining movement points, leaving them at the mercy of being attacked or captured by the enemy. The only way to cure it is through an extremely rare item or through the Rehabilitate orb that can only be used by a promoted Izerna.

Greater-Scope Villain: King Mordias IV and Pope Urbanus IV. The former's actions (ordering the assassination of the Apostle, imprisoning of Prince Bernard and his defeat of the Eastern Kingdoms, and him starting the war against the Raze Empire) results in the terrible state of the Berwick League at the start of the game. The latter is responsible for the former becoming king, not to mention Reese ends up fighting with the forces of the Raze Church over the course of the game.

Knighting: Instead of a character merely changing their model after promoting to a class, the promoting character goes through a ceremony held by Reese and the Sinon Knights. The Mercenary characters also go through a similar ceremony by being granted a title by the Mercenary Guild and his/her fellow mercenaries congratulating the promoted character. Reese himself goes through a ceremony once he becomes a Knight Lord before King Volcens, who is forcibly convinced by Duke Roswick and Bishop Lebough that Reese has accomplished so much that he deserves a promotion.

One-Man Army: Averted. No single unit will be able to take on more than a handful of soldiers by themselves, unlike in Fire Emblem or Tear Ring Saga. The new mechanics to the countering system (if a unit gets hit during combat, they will not counterattack unless they have a certain skill) and the chance that a unit may have their equipment be forcibly unequipped or the worst-case scenario of being crippled and rendered effectively helpless.

Back from the Brink: Subverted. Duke Bernard and Margrave Bernstol's initial victories against the Raze Empire and a powerful La Résistance led by The Choosen One attempt to turn the war in favor of the Berwick League, but the presence of a mole leaking information and influencing the already unstable King Volcens to make terrible decisions foils any further chances of doing so. In the final chapter, the Berwick League is finally defeated when Volcens decides to surrender to the Raze Empire.

Final Solution

Final Solution: The ultimate goal of Pope Urbanus IV is to kill off or convert every single believer of the Verian Faith, which is basically the entire western part of Lazberia, and what's worse is that it's already in the process of happening as the Raze Empire expands their control over the territories of the Berwick League. This is essentially what drives Larentia to defect to the Berwick League out of disgust towards the above and her own father turning a blind eye towards it.

Counter-Attack: Unlike in the Fire Emblem games, a unit who has received damage during a fight is unable to counterattack, making it quite dangerous to place a character near multiple enemies that risks death if they are repeatedly hit.

We ARE Struggling Together: Despite the threat of the Raze Empire, the 24 nations of the Berwick League are constantly squabbling with each other, either with complex political gambits or petty feuds that do nothing but waste valuables resources and erodes the morale of soldiers, resulting with the utter collapse of the League by the endgame. Reese gets the brunt of this from either King Volcens' himself and/or his two advisers Herman and Padolf, usually mocking Reese for his humble origins or forcing him to return on time while he and his knights are participating in dangerous military operations or else he'll be immediately branded as a traitor.

Pseudo-Crisis: In Chapter 13, the Sinon Knights participate in a grueling mission in which they must Hold the Line against a massive Imperial Army in order to protect the defeated Navarron Army. By Turn 14, they are assaulted by multiple Elite Mooks such as Dragon Knights and Black Riders, each led by a powerful boss on both sides, and the player has already endured a grueling siege and prepares for the worse, but on Turn 15, the enemy units suddenly decide to retreat and the mission ends. The Sinon Knights are confused by this, and it is later revealed that the Berwick League and the Raze Empire have signed a truce.

Anti-Frustration Features: Berwick Saga eases the player with certain mechanics. If your units gets captured by the enemies (whether in battle or if a unit is unable to retreat in time during escape chapters), their inventory is retained and they will only require a ransom. Also, during missions where you fight the Imperial Army, they will be compelled to capture units that are crippled rather simply killing them, allowing the player to save them through ransom. If one of your units dies, the player is able to retrieve the deceased's items by entering the cemetery and visiting their graves.

 Berwick Saga (Video Game) / int_e0f75086
comment
Good Republic, Evil Empire: At first this seems to be played straight and indeed, the Berwick League was originally founded to protect the Eastern Three Kingdoms and themselves from the expansionism of the Raze Empire. This is subverted in the latest conflict, where the League is shown in a far more negative light than the Empire as a whole.

Civil Warcraft: Just from the very first chapter of the game, Reese and his knights end up fighting Verian troops who have resorted to banditry after being evicted from the city of Navarron for their actions. Later on, The Duchy of Bornia sides with the Raze Empire during the middle stages of war, with it's troops being the enemies of the Sinon Knights in some of the main chapters.

comment
Fantastic Caste System: The society of the Raze Empire is stratified into a number of social classes, the lowest of which are slaves. However, while there are slaves, the majority of the nation are made up of " Free Citizens" (in the feudal sense) that consider the Raze Empire as a nice place to live in.

comment
Anti-Grinding: Berwick Saga has an even stricter system of gaining experience. For starters, the only way to gain exp is by killing an enemy unit or by leaving a playable unit totally unused, letting them earn exp during the transition to the next chapter, although if their exp cap is at 99, the player must deploy that unit and let them kill an enemy unit to level up. Also, the game both adds and deducts earned experience points from the unit if their levels are lower or higher than the target killed, and enemy classes have specific amounts of exp gained, with bandit classes giving out lower exp when compared to enemy soldier classes.

War Is Hell
 Berwick Saga (Video Game) / int_f1d6144a
comment
War Is Hell: In a Crapsack World like Lazberia, such is common with citizens being kidnapped and sold to slavery, orphans who lost their parents in the long war, being forcibly conscripted on to the front lines, etc. Aside from the usual horrors of war, the game does a great job of depicting how war affects every level of society, from the nobles and royalty to the common citizens. Even the ending spends a lot of time dwelling on this issue.

All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Navarron is finally overrun by Imperial Forces in the final chapter, thanks to Volcens surrendering the city to the Raze Empire in exchange for their protection, driven by sheer paranoia regarding Duke Bernard and the defections of Reese, Vanmillion and Vester.

Forever War: The history between the Berwick League and the Raze Empire in a nutshell. What began as a series of territorial disputes over the hemogeny of the three eastern countries spiraled into a conflict that lasts four and a half centuries, with both sides unable to achieve an official end to the war due to the amount of bad blood developed between them and machinations of certain powerful individuals.
