Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Blade & Soul is a Free-to-Play Korean Wuxia MMORPG originally released on the PC in 2012. It was released in North America and Europe in January 2016.The game is set in a fictional world where martial arts reign supreme, with a history ridden with conflict, greed, betrayal, demonic invasions, and martial arts legends. You play as a student of the Hongmoon School, located on the quiet island of Heaven's Reach. When the school is suddenly attacked by a mysterious Dark Action Girl named Jinsoyun, you are betrayed by one of your own and watch your Old Master die before your eyes. Cast into the sea and left for dead, you are miraculously rescued and embark on a journey for justice or revenge.Players can choose from four races based on The Four Gods: the human-esque Jin, the lithe Yun, the goliath Gon, and the diminutive Lyn. Your race determines which class you can choose from. Blade & Soul's combat is halfway between a traditional MMO "skill bar" and a Fighting Game, encouraging you to string together increasingly-ludicrous combos and defend yourself with well-timed counter-moves.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It is an extremely popular game in Korea, boasting over 1.5 million co-current players at one point (beating even World of Warcraft's record) and a thriving Player Versus Player professional scene. A thirteen-episode anime adaptation aired in 2014.The game also has a mobile spinoff: Blade And Soul Revolution, which features a condensed version of the main story with added storylines and character and a simplified combat system. A beta version is released in late 2020, with 1 million accounts preregistering in the first month alone.A new game, or rather, a technical upgrade in Unreal Engine 4, was announced in 2017 alongside Blade and Soul Revolution. A showcase trailer was released in 2018 featuring upgraded visuals. News of it is rather lackluster for three years until NCSoft announced it to be released in 2021 and another trailer confirming it's playable in mobile and consoles.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Our Elves Are Different: The Yun are pretty much elves of the game, being long-lived, attuned with nature, having Pointy Ears, and elegant in their physical appearances, costumes, and architecture. The only difference being that they are female-only and have Creepy Long Fingers.

Hidden Agenda Villain: Jinsoyun. All we know in her first appearance that she wanted to spread the dark chi everywhere and cause chaos. Turns out that she wants revenge on Mushin for killing her master Jiwan, and she is willing to do anything to do that, even killing the other two masters so she can kill him. she is not interested in anything else and was more than happy for you to kill her after killing Mushin.

Poor Communication Kills
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: Hoo boy. Plenty of moments come to mind, but the most memorable so far would have to be at the end of Act III. Ilsim's betrayal, and subsequently the fall of Brightstone Village, could've been avoided if the mayor had just told Ilsim that Iksanun was his father. Sadly, not only does the mayor fail to tell Ilsim until he's dying, but he does so after Ilsim just killed Iksanun. Yunma Fei never told anyone she was actually the Talus Princess, which caused many of the Skyhaven Resistance soldiers to turn against her for lying to them when she most likely had her own reasons why she didn't tell them.

Achievement Mockery: Due to how achievement notifications work, you can get them in increments from 10 up to 1000note  usually the highest count, but some reach up to 5000, and it shows up on your party's combat log if in one. There's an achievement you can get if you die many times, with the log recording how many times you died in the game. There's even a specific achievement for letting your timer run out if you died. You can also get an achievement for breaking your weapon in the middle of battle.

Papa Wolf: Yunsang, the leader of the Lumang Syndicate, attacked many villages in the Silverfrost region searching for his adopted daughter Yunwa. He was captured when the Talus soldiers disguised a village girl as his daughter, making him fall to their trap. Dochun is another example, after learning that his foster daughter Namsoyoo is in the Talus Empire, he defeated other competitors in a tournament just for him to see her again. Though this ended up with him in jail.

Crapsack World
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_21d70919
comment
If you pay attention to Cricket's responses during quests while you're playing through the game, you'll start to notice that Cricket becomes increasingly rude and aggressive towards the quest givers, foreshadowing their eventual decision to embrace the Dark Chi just to satisfy their revenge. This also serves as a subtle nod that the game is aware of how much of a Crapsack World the setting turns out to be by having your character becoming more uncharitable after dealing with some rather rude quest givers as the game goes on.

Some Dexterity Required
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_273b4c2a
comment
Some Dexterity Required: Unlike other MMORPG games, the combat requires players to chain combos really fast while dodging the enemy attacks at the same time, akin to fighting games. Certain classes even need a good internet connection in order to be able to attack at all. Since most enemy attacks are telegraphed at lower levels, it can jar an inexperienced player once they reach bosses that requires them to react in a split second.

Worf Had the Flu: It's heavily implied that you could be a lot stronger (or at least master your skills faster) if you weren't affected by the Mark of the Black Rose. Campaign quests that don't focus on tracking down Jinsoyun instead address your blocked-up Chi and how exceptionally lucky you should be that you aren't dead from it yet.

Cool, but Inefficient: Hongmoon 'Ultimate' skills. Each class has two variants, one usually focused on damage and the other for utility. The damage skills are generally very high burst, but their animation is so long most classes output better damage just doing their normal rotation. The utility skills are better, either for mobility or for emergency iframes, but both skills require maxed out Hongmoon focus, which charges extremely slowly passively, and still slowly even during combat.

Psychopomp: The Keepers are beings invisible to the human eye that guides the dead to the gates of the afterlife. Only Cricket can see them and they are usually found in the In-between, places where the dead are stuck until they move on. One such Keeper vouches for Cricket's heroic deeds after saving the Spirit Realm.

Glass Cannon: The ranged classes, particularly Force Masters and Warlocks are this: Force Masters can dish out high amounts of sustained damage and dodge attacks thanks to their highly mobile skills but has low defense and no protection against melee attacks. That said, they also have access to party skills that protect the whole party and themselves from damage for a few seconds. Warlocks have high burst capabilities and an offensive buff that can leave enemies dead within seconds, at the cost of low defense and slow mobility. Killing their thralls can prevent them from using the buff and deprive them of one escape skill. Gunslingers has the highest mobility of all classes and either huge burst capabilities that can deal millions of damage or high sustained damage depending on the build. This is offset by their abysmal defense and forcing them to use their one escape skill will make them a sitting duck for combos.

Assist Character: Summoners get one in the form of their cat familiar, and the class revolves around combining the summoner's magic with the cat's abilities. The cat can even revive the Summoner and other allies by sacrificing its life and can be revived within 5 seconds to assist the player again. Warlocks get a Thrall, a shadowy and intimidating spirit, to help them in battle. However, unlike Summoners' cats, Thralls are only temporarily summoned before returning to their realm.

Perfect Play A.I.: The Tower of Infinity challengers are very challenging to face as their move sets are based on competitive Korean players. Unlike other enemies and players, they react to keypresses, skill and gear cooldowns reset after a few seconds, and attacks fast thanks to no input lag. Players need fast reflexes, high gear, and/or a good internet connection just to have a chance to conquer the top floors.

The Warlock class got hit by this. After its initial release, warlocks have insane bursting capabilities coupled with life regeneration that made the class a viable fighter in PVP. This came to a situation in the 2015 Korean tournament where a wild card Warlock eradicated other competitors and won so fast that a patch was released in December 2015, hitting the class so hard that many declared warlocks nearly unplayable in PVP. The class is hit yet again with the release of the 3rd spec, which lowered the overall damage of the class.

Downer Ending: Act 3 ends with you becoming a Fallen Hero under the tutelage of Mushin. Iksanun is killed by Ilsim, who then learns the truth from a dying Mayor Taywo, who kills himself before turning into a fiend like the rest of Brightstone Village (you even see his corpse disintegrate onscreen), which is now a fiend-infested hellhole like The Highland Necropolis. The shock causes Ilsim to catapult past the Despair Event Horizon at Mach 5 and allow himself to be surrounded and killed by fiends. Then the downer mentioned above happens. In the end of Act 9, Mushin and Ryu have killed all the new Hongmoon Disciples except for Jinsoyun, leaving her and Cricket to grieve at Heaven's Reach.

Inconsistent Dub: Thanks to the shoddy localization, expect to run into this often. One early instance can't seem to keep the name of the Dusk Adders right, jumping between "Dusk Adders", "Black Dragons", and even "Black Adders" at one point. And if you're a Summoner, expect Jungsu to refer to his familiar as "Dumpling", while the game text calls her "Darling". Subtitles in-game isn't consistent with the voice dubs everywhere, which means it's super rare to find a subtitle in sync with what the characters are actually saying.

Although tastes may differ, many people have marked that they find Yun to be the prettiest among females. Other than that they often have to most graceful outfits, whereas Gon has the fanservice-y, Lyn the cute, and Jin the 'normal' ones.

Zombie Apocalypse
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_60414102

Zombie Apocalypse: Or a close enough variant. Dark Shaman Nekuro has been experimenting with dead bodies and has the ability to turn villagers into undead warriors. He's also the cause of the undead invasion in Viridian Coast in Act 1 of the story line Empress Tayhu creates a plague-like corruption in the western wing of the Dasari Palace, using the eyes of old people and children corrupted into blood lillies. Whoever is exposed to the two will be corrupted and go berserk.

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_6320eced
comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The Mark of the Black Rose is killing and twisting you in the same way it killed Hajoon, and once Hajoon passes, many people begin to comment on the fact that you look very, very ill, with the description of your condition one NPC gives being similar to how Hajoon looked at the end. This is not reflected on your character model, however; you'll look as you did at character creation. As mentioned under Dull Surprise, giving Cricket a particularly strong expression (such as having a smirk on their face by default) can cause Cricket to improperly emote when their expression needs to change for story purposes.

Pretty Boy: In a cast full of beautiful ladies, Yu Chun seemingly caught the attention of many (mainly female) players. Although it was never stated in-universe, he seems to be rather popular among the players, being one of the male characters with the most fanart. He's also one of the few male NPC's to receive a unique look, unavailable in-game (unless you use mods, that is). In-game he's also referred to as a dandy. To some extent, characters like Junghado and Ku Yang could fit with their Bishounen looks. Dodan after he finally overcame himself and changed hairstyles, as well as behaviour. All the male (especially Jin) players if one so desires in the character creation.

Manly Tears
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_64e975cf
comment
Manly Tears: It happens from time to time. No matter which gender you choose, your character will cry when Hajoon dies. Another example is when Cricket finds Baymu's body. However, this time it's not you who's crying. After witnessing the memory of the Four Guardians fighting together at the High Necropolis, your character is told that they've been (unknowingly) crying because they got to see Master Hong alive one last time. At the end of Jinsoyun's arc, Cricket can greet the dead Hongmoon members one last time. As soon as they set off and say goodbye, Cricket starts sobbing. Master Hong even says: "Don't you cry little Cricket". Hajoon makes a remark about it as well. Saying Cricket is crying 'again' and telling them to smile.

Thanks to the shoddy localization, expect to run into this often. One early instance can't seem to keep the name of the Dusk Adders right, jumping between "Dusk Adders", "Black Dragons", and even "Black Adders" at one point. And if you're a Summoner, expect Jungsu to refer to his familiar as "Dumpling", while the game text calls her "Darling".

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Anyone with a green, white, or blue name won't attack you as long as you're not wearing an opposing faction's outfit. In the field, monsters with yellow names won't aggro while anything with a red name (people and monsters alike) want to kill you. Also, the same goes for the opposing factions (ex.: Cerulean Order clothes have white and sky blue color schemes while the Crimson Legion sport black and red, etc.).

Hartman Hips: Another byproduct of the art direction, and one of the default physiques for the Yun tribe, who (generally) forego large busts for wide hips (Jinsoyun, who is a Yun, fits this trope perfectly◊).

Random Number God: The game's random number generator is a spiteful beast that hates you. It hates you even more if you don't spend real money. In fact, it's so evil no one can figure out what the real drop rates are. While it's far from the only game this evil, it's evilness has a purpose. to encourage you to spend money to mitigate it (special single-use keys that remove the randomness from weapon chests). After you no longer need the item, it will then start dropping much more often. No one knows what the odds are supposed to be except the server owners and they aren't telling.

Spell My Name with an S
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_89a17726
comment
Spell My Name with an S: Rather worse here than in some other media, due to the fact that the game's translation of Korean names is largely inconsistent with Revised Romanization (the official standard of Korean romanization). Furthermore, the game is inconsistent as to whether it separates surnames and given names. For example, using the rules of Revised Romanisation, "Jinsoyun" should be "Jin Seoyeon". The game's spotty editing means that in some places the game just flat-out can't keep certain terms consistent within itself. Is that one arm of the Lumang Syndicate in the Viridian Coast the "Dusk Adders" or the "Black Dragons"? A couple NPCs seem to change their minds on that one mid-dialogue sequence. For characters, Zulia retained her Korean name Julia when the English localization of her part of the game was released, but quickly changed to Zulia after a patch or two. It's even lampshaded in the game by one of the Blackham Mauraders.

Earthy Barefoot Character: The Lyns, who tend to be barefoot in many of their outfits. This is linked to their lore, which mentions how the Lyns have a deep connection with the Spirit Realm and the earth. It should be noted that the Lyn tend to have small, dog-like paws for feet instead of human feet.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: The game has a questionable localization at best, which is rather unfortunate to those who have played the original untranslated version of the game. Odd things include changing story elements (which generally ended up causing more plot holes for a variety of reasons), many skill descriptions not making sense, and names being improperly translated (usually by way of fusing given names and surnames into one name). Some examples of these changes can be found here (tagged spoilers in the link).

Heir to the Dojo: Master Hong doesn't outright say it, but your fast aptitude in the Hongmoon Arts and his giving of the Martial Tome certainly put you on this track. Then you become this by default after everyone else is killed. At the climax of 1.0, you can choose whether to continue the Hongmoon way or turn to evil instead.

Damage-Sponge Boss: Dungeons above Ebondrake Lair have millions of health and require mechanics in order to chip away their health. Mechanics are mandatory since bosses have an enrage timer that will wipe out the party with only a little room for error. Koldrak has trillions of health that has a 50 min enrage timernote  Players have actually realized that it doesn't do anything if the timer sets to zero. Players must pick up ice that will boost their damage and must avoid his devastating fire.

Another example involved a sidequest involving a perverted and rather depraved peeping tom stealing the clothes of a woman while she bathes so she's forced to marry him (only for him to complain about the situation after the quest is over and blame the player despite it being his request in the first place). This was originally played for comedy, but the sheer Values Dissonance of the questline made the localization team change to appear less uncomfortable and seem less problematic towards western audiences.note Details of the quest can be found here.

comment
Foreshadowing: A few instances: Hajoon's appearance becomes more and more disheveled every time you encounter him. This hints that he's actually dying due to Dark Chi corruption. If you pay attention to Cricket's responses during quests while you're playing through the game, you'll start to notice that Cricket becomes increasingly rude and aggressive towards the quest givers, foreshadowing their eventual decision to embrace the Dark Chi just to satisfy their revenge. This also serves as a subtle nod that the game is aware of how much of a Crapsack World the setting turns out to be by having your character becoming more uncharitable after dealing with some rather rude quest givers as the game goes on. Before The Reveal, Ryu is shown to be in the Vortex Temple watching Cricket fight Zulia. Gil, who was revealed to be Mushin in disguise a few arcs back, passes by Cricket when they are about to enter Chol Mugo's room before setting off to Solak. Later, it's revealed that Chol Mugo made a deal with Mushin and lets him in Valindria and causes the death of the Divine Maiden.

General Ripper: Yonkai, a sociopathic Stratus empire Colonel who is searching for Mushin's Legacy, something that could turn him into a God. He has a habit of overreacting to slights in disgustingly overkill ways and pull rank to justify his crimes. The worst part is, your character is stuck more or less subservient because he threatens to wipe out a village you swore to protect from him, and that still doesn't stop him from working villagers to death in his mine while you're doing what he asks. It's telling that not even his own men shed a tear when Karma catches up to him and he meets a satisfyingly cruel death at Jinsoyun's hands.

Inseries Nickname: Jinsoyun is commonly referred to as the "Lady in Black" by other characters. This is despite her cohort Yura also wearing black, though this is probably because Yura has a lot more skin showing than Jinsoyun. The Player Character is often referred to as "Cricket" as an Affectionate Nickname by everyone in the Hongmoon Clan and Old Man Cho. Everyone else just calls them "Jyan" or "Jyansei".

Cycle of Revenge: One of the main themes of Blade & Soul is the unending cycle of pain caused by revenge. It's why Jinsoyun sought revenge, and why you might seek revenge. There was an option to avert this for the player character by choosing to break the cycle by embracing the Hongmoon Way and seeking justice instead, but it was removed in later versions of the game.

Obvious Rule Patch: A bug that allows players to pass through doors in dungeons, skipping trash mobs and heading straight to the boss room was discovered and players exploited this for speedruns, leaving behind other party members who didn't know this. This was resolved in a patch and players caught doing this were banned. Another exploit was in the Whirlwind Valley Event, where players on the losing side would purposely disconnect in order to maintain their PVP ranking. NC Soft then released another patch kicking the disconnected players and declared that people caught doing this would never receive their items.

Perpetually Shiny Bodies: In spades, though players have the option to remove this aesthetic when creating their characters.

Combat Resuscitation
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_bcae7b8c
comment
Combat Resuscitation: If a player was unable to recover their Chi or hit while doing so, making them truly dead, other players can still revive them by sharing their Chi. This forces the player reviving the dead to stand defenseless for twenty seconds until revival, and can easily be interrupted by attacks. Summoners have 3 skills that can revive a player faster. The skill Footloose can protect a resuscitating player from harm and cut the timer by 10 seconds, and Helping Paw actually makes the cat perform CPR on the dead player and revive them in 10 seconds. If there are many players dead at a party, they have a last-ditch skill that fully revives the whole party at the cost of sacrificing the cat as long as it doesn't die while doing so. This also gives a 10-minute debuff that prevents them from being revived by a group revive skill again. Soul Fighters has a skill that instantaneously revives a whole party faster than a summoner can, with the caveat that it has a 10-minute cooldown. This also shares the same debuff as the Summoner revive, which means both classes can't use a group revive in a party at the same time.

 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_c1105f41
comment
Justified, since only a few can purge the Dark Chi without getting infected, most civilians and soldiers know they are out of their league against fiends and can only rely on the Player Character. The best thing soldiers can do is Hold the Line against the never-ending onslaught of fiends until Cricket kills them all or closes the gate. That said, it doesn't mean the other NPCs will just stand by and watch Cricket do all the work.

As mentioned under Dull Surprise, giving Cricket a particularly strong expression (such as having a smirk on their face by default) can cause Cricket to improperly emote when their expression needs to change for story purposes.

Act 3 ends with you becoming a Fallen Hero under the tutelage of Mushin. Iksanun is killed by Ilsim, who then learns the truth from a dying Mayor Taywo, who kills himself before turning into a fiend like the rest of Brightstone Village (you even see his corpse disintegrate onscreen), which is now a fiend-infested hellhole like The Highland Necropolis. The shock causes Ilsim to catapult past the Despair Event Horizon at Mach 5 and allow himself to be surrounded and killed by fiends. Then the downer mentioned above happens.

Shout-Out
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Several quests have names that reference various things. Examples include "The Bear Necessity", "Say No To The Dress", and "Bamboo Guard Needs Food Badly". The Summoner quest chain includes facing a rival summoner who is apparently aware of Pokémon, as some of his dialogue consists of quotes from the series (i.e. "I choose you!" and "It's super effective!"). The preface of Jinsoyun's backstory on the game's website used a variation of the But for Me, It Was Tuesday quote from the Street Fighter movie. The description of the horse mask in the Hongmoon Store is 'I used to wonder what friendship could be'. A lyric of the opening song of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Another reference to a MLP song is a quest being named: 'Winter wrap up'. In one of the quests, 3 NPC's named Bubbles, Buttercup and Blossom are locked up in cages. There's a brave lion, a tin woodcutter, and a straw man. There's a quest called Let Him Go. The boss of the ice cave instance it's in is named Queen Yul-Sa. She says "Let the storm rage on." and "Do you want to build a snow woman?" Another quest is called The cold never bothered me anyway. There's a quest called Do what you want cause a pirate is free! The dynamic quest for killing Pokey is named That's what it's all about. The Pot Dogs are named Plu Tao, Snu Pi and Gu Fi There's a quest where you can find a talking flower in Celestial Basin. When you approach it, part of the flower's dialogue is "In this world...it's KILL or BE killed".

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Lusung, towards Yonkai and his men, when Yonkai threw Lusung's sister into the mines for trying to run away from a forced marriage (that's after Yonkai's men killed Lusung's future brother-in-law). It ended so horribly (his parents are killed, his sister dies in the mines, and almost all of the villagers hate him) that Lusung's hatred for Yonkai becomes the driving force behind his betrayal.

Dark Action Girl: The game loves its dark villainess: Jinsoyun starts off as the Big Bad that decimated your home, uses a corrupted form of Chi, and is generally feared and hated for her villainy by many people throughout the game. Her cohort, Yura, is similarly skilled (and deadly). The next villain Zulia is a Light Is Not Good themed villainess, but works for Mushin and revealed to be a Warlock. She is able to fight evenly with the player character in her first appearance. Empress Tayhu is the leader of the Ebondrake Cult responsible for nearly everything bad happening within act VII onwards.

Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_d8e0e9f7
comment
Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: It's revealed in Act 3 that Ilsim is the illegitimate child of Kuwin and Iksanun. Mayor Taywo and Kuwin knew this but kept Iksanun out of the loop. He had to come to that conclusion himself. Iksanun tells the player (before the realization) that it's dangerous for someone like him to get too close to anyone because his enemies could exploit those possible relationships, which is exactly what Jinsoyun does. So, chances are that if Iksanun had known about his son with Kuwin, he would've either been more helpful during the attack at Brightstone Village (the one that occurs 15 years prior to the story) or done a better job at keeping to his creed to stay far away from the village, period.

They did suffer a huge blow when the demons invaded their realm and caught them off-guard, and later when the pirates kidnap and sacrifice the civilian Yuns.

 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_e545e190
comment
Nerf: As the game progresses, numerous patches were released to balance classes for PvP and PvE reasons. Here are some of the most notable nerfs: The Warlock class got hit by this. After its initial release, warlocks have insane bursting capabilities coupled with life regeneration that made the class a viable fighter in PVP. This came to a situation in the 2015 Korean tournament where a wild card Warlock eradicated other competitors and won so fast that a patch was released in December 2015, hitting the class so hard that many declared warlocks nearly unplayable in PVP. The class is hit yet again with the release of the 3rd spec, which lowered the overall damage of the class. When elemental skills were separated, this forces players to choose between one element to use for skills. This slightly narrowed down skill trees for classes. Unfortunately, Soul Fighters unintentionally got the worst of it due to its hybrid style, crippling nearly half the skills it needed for its playstyle.note Before the patch, players can set skills with different elements, i.e. a warlock's dragon helix skill which is shadow, with bombard, which is ice.It went from one of the best PVP classes to one of the least used class. Gunners were stupidly overpowered during its release thanks to high damage bursts that can penetrate defense, high mobility, and buff resets. In 6vs6, facing a gunner is usually an insta-kill thanks to their tab skill. Merely months later, the class was reworked and the tab skill now requires a certain buff in order to be useful.

Being Evil Sucks
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_f1919d5b
comment
Being Evil Sucks: A meta example. Originally, Act 4 presented you with a choice of either returning to the Hongmoon Way or fully committing to Mushin's Corrupted Path. The evil option gave you a cool outfit, but its exclusive abilities were less powerful than their Hongmoon equivalents. More significantly, the Corrupted Path locked you out of further story content and hard-capped your level at 50. This, along with the decision further segregating players into two more PvP factions, caused enough discontent that the choice was removed in later updates, and the Corrupted Path became the default, though tweaked so that the story continues and plays off of it.

Microtransactions: The Hongmoon Store, which either uses NC Soft's NCoin currency (bought with real money), or Hongmoon Coin (earned in a few different ways, including purchasing with real money). Naturally, it costs substantially more Hongmoon Coin to get something out of the shop compared to using NCoin.

Together in Death
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_f6624c30
comment
Together in Death: General Han Sirang let himself succumb to his wounds in order to be with the Earthseer Baymu, who died in act 2. There is a miniquest that allows you to talk to a dead spirit in order to find out what happened to his daughter. He was forced to abandon her in a cave. where she dies slowly from loneliness and hunger. After a Tear-Jerker moment, both are reunited with each other. After you fight and win against Zulia/Sansu's boss fight, her father appears and embraces her saying she will no longer be alone and the two move on.

Fading Away
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_f79f4e6c
comment
Fading Away: This is how most onscreen deaths are shown, with their bodies fading away after they're brutally killed. Sometimes, there are many dead bodies lying around that doesn't fade but they're either corrupted with dark chi or will have a chance to turn into fiends. Confusingly, NPC's grieve on some coffins strewn around even if their bodies supposed to be faded away.

Shapeshifting
 Blade & Soul (Video Game) / int_f8f3711c
comment
Shapeshifting: During the fall of Heaven's Reach (as well as in a playable memory during Act III), Master Hong transforms from a Lyn to a very powerful Gon (while still retaining his Lyn features) that can shoot out energy blasts strong enough to blast holes through mountains. In the NA version at least, it's still unexplained as to the reason behind his ability to transform.

Equipment-Based Progression: The game doesn't feature any stat-based leveling aside from Hongmoon Levels, but will give a class-related weapon and a set of accessories the player can upgrade.

Gainaxing: Every single female character does this whenever they move; the bigger the breasts. Special mention goes to Zulia, whose massive tits was censored for being so unnatural that its a miracle she didn't trip whenever she walks.

Hopeless Boss Fight: Your first and second fights with Jinsoyun requires the player character to lose. Even if you successfully killed her by a miracle, the cutscenes act that you lost to her.

One-Winged Angel: Thanks to the Dark Chi, every Arc Villain transforms into one in their respective final raid dungeons: Jinsoyun transforms into a one-winged monster after you defeat her in Heaven's Mandate the first time. Lusung gets corrupted by the Raven King and becomes a monster you must defeat and purify. Zulia transforms into a monstrous bug-like in a last-ditch attempt to kill Cricket in the Temple of Elevium. Chol Mugo unwillingy transforms into the Grand Celestial Emperor in Twilight Temple. Empress Taywu also transforms with the power of the Dark Chi into the Scarlet Empress.

Answer Cut: Post Time Skip and you assuming Mastery of the Hongmoon School, a discussion regarding training materials and where they could be found pops up. The student asks if you've searched everywhere, even under the rugs. Your dialogue choice more or less answers back "Who Would Be Stupid Enough? to hide something under a rug?" Cue the next quest prompt...

The Valindrians are composed of Lady of War Yuns who are more than capable of protecting Solak for many years. They did suffer a huge blow when the demons invaded their realm and caught them off-guard, and later when the pirates kidnap and sacrifice the civilian Yuns.
