Endless Ocean is a Wide-Open Sandbox Adventure Game mixed with a scuba diving sim by Arika, which simulates a series of scuba dives on an incredibly diverse coral reef. It became legendary for completely eschewing combat of any kind.You, the player character, are a professional diver assigned as a "marine correspondent" to the fictional South Pacific island of Manoa Lai (Manaurai in the European release). This job generally involves looking at a lot of fish, and finding out information about them. The only character you actually get to interact with is your marine biologist assistant, Katherine. Along the way, you discover ancient ruins, caves, deep waters, and lots of Misplaced Wildlife (though they at least made them all real fish).There's a sequel entitled Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep (known as Blue World in the US), which allows players to choose from several dive spots around the world instead of being limited to a fictional South Pacific Ocean, including the arctic and antarctic and a section in the Amazon River. Dangerous animals can now actually attack the player, requiring the divers to make a quick escape or use equipment to pacify them before becoming alligator caiman, piranha, or shark food.A third installment, Endless Ocean: Luminous, was confirmed on February 21, 2024 for the Nintendo Switch for release on May 2, 2024. Touted features include up to 30 players online, a hub region called the Veiled Sea which changes each time you dive, and over 500 species of animals to encounter.Not to be confused with The Infinite Ocean, a fairly creepy point-and-click adventure game about the first Artificial Intelligence. Compare ABZÛ for the PlayStation 4 and Steam. | |

Roaring Rapids: There are a few of these where the character has to hold onto their dolphin partner to swim against them. In other cases, you get blown back with a "The current is too strong" message. | |

Fake Longevity | |
| Endless Ocean (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: In the first game, you had to find each creature on three separate days in order to learn all three sets of facts about them to complete the Marine Encyclopedia. Blue World shortens this down to everything being learnable in a single encounter, but also introduces money that has to be earned through work to spend on new gear. Not to mention saving up a million pelagos in order to open Okeanides back up to casual exploration. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| Endless Ocean (Video Game) / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: Lots in the first game. Averted in Blue World, which has varied, round-the-globe environments to host all those fish. Blue World also makes sure that, in the event that an animal does show up where it shouldn't, the characters point it out and puzzle over how it might have gotten there. One sidequest actually has you rescuing some Atlantic tarpon, a type of saltwater fish, who've wandered into a freshwater river and have become very sick as a result, and the first time you go there you find a minke whale trapped upstream. All your dolphin pals except for the tropical ones get misplaced once they follow you home to sunny Nineball Island. Particularly the river dolphin. The river dolphin that you get by taking along a narwhal from the Arctic. Granted, that last bit does have an explanation. The animals are male and female in their respective stories, you see... A notable straight example that remains in the second game is the West Indian manatee. It was just one of the many cases from the first game, but with the second game's focus on featuring more oceans to dive in, it was very noticeable that the manatees, a native of the Caribbean Sea (which is not a location the player can dive in), are still only found in the Pacific Ocean. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Endless Ocean (Video Game) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Largely averted, though it does crop up here and there. Greenland sharks are very slow swimmers and have never been known to prey on humans (though considering where they live this could be due to the two species almost never meeting), and goblin sharks don't have their jaws extended at all times, to name two examples. | |

| Endless Ocean (Video Game) / int_1b122c5d | comment |
Scare Chord: Given that the song "Benedictus" plays when you visit the Abyss in the first game, the crescendo of brass/drums/vocals turns into this, especially when the sperm whale or giant squid suddenly dash into view at the same time. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Endless Ocean (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: In the first game, you can pet venomous lionfish with no ill effects. Zig-zagged in the sequel; merely brushing up against a lionfish results in the player losing bars from their oxygen gauge. But a whole new series of problems opens up from the wider range of locations, such as wearing only swim trunks/a bikini in to the polar regions with no ill effects, or having a teenager dive to professional-level depths. In the aquarium, you can display predator and prey, natural enemies, or freshwater fish and saltwater fish in the same tank at the same time. The giant great white shark Thanatos is immune to the pulsar, but you can get his information by allowing him to attack you, after which there's a brief moment when you can focus on him. Good thing sharks don't actually bite in these games! | |

Gender-Equal Ensemble: L&L Diving Service is initially comprised of Jean-Eric Louvier and his granddaughter Oceana, and it adds Gaston Gray and Hayako Sakurai over the course of the story. Your character tips the balance in either direction, but if you play as a male, you can still consider it equal if you also include recurring independant merchant Nancy Young. Likewise, if you play as a female, you can consider it equal if you include Snorkel the dog. | |

| Endless Ocean (Video Game) / int_1e75509c | comment |
Adventure-Friendly World: The first game is structured to act as a playground for several varieties of diving within a single location. The Manoa Lai Sea is home to the Great Aqua Cave (cave diving), the Abyss (deep diving), and Ship's Rest (wreck diving), as well as Mo'ia Atoll for the expected Atlantis comparison. Blue World expands on this by featuring the whole world and adding ice diving at the poles and muck diving in South America. | |

Talking Animal: Blue World has two possible examples, both during side-quests. The first is the blue bird, though whether this is an illusion, telepathy, real speech or something else is never explained. The second would be during the dolphin-gaining sidequest. The Commerson's dolphin seems to be able to speak. Furthermore, any companions back on the boat can hear him/her over the radio. Once the dolphin becomes your partner, this detail is never mentioned again. | |

Averted with many of the other sharks, though. Whale sharks and basking sharks are huge but harmless, and a number of smaller species (hammerheads, for example) are also safe to swim near. The lack of damage in the first game meant even potentially nasty sharks never pose a real threat. | |

Mellow Mantas: Mantas are among the first creatures you'll see in both games, gliding majestically through the water without bothering a soul. Blue World even lets you watch a cutscene of a squadron of mantas engaged in a courtship "dance". | |

| Endless Ocean (Video Game) / int_4389e368 | comment |
Actionized Sequel: Well, considering how the first game had literally no action, not that that's a bad thing, Blue World certainly doesn't have to try too hard to be more heart-pounding... And yet, it does! You have a pistol-like device called the Pulsar that can calm and pacify hostile marine life, such as sharks and piranhas, and said hostile marine life actually attacks you. There's even a Final Boss, as noted below! | |

The Beastmaster: The Player Character. In the first game no animal will attack you, not even sharks, and small fish will actually tag along with you if you play your whistle near them. While sharks become aggressive in the second game, cetaceans seem to respond to you much more favorably just like they did for the ancient Okenaides people and several will help you if you befriend them. The Okenaides and the Mo'ia Atoll people could control cetaceans through songs, and formed the first world-wide civilization with their help. | |

But Thou Must!: In the original game, Katherine will ask you to help her find the Ancient Mother. Turn her down, and the next time you return to the boat (or at the very least, exit your cabin), she will ask you again, the process repeating until you say yes to her. In Blue World, after you and Oceana find the plesiosaur, Oceana decides she's not going to publicize this discovery, and asks if you agree. You can say "I do" or "No I don't," but if you pick no, Oceana will just say "Really?" and ask you the question again. And again. And again. | |

Bragging Rights Reward: The legendary creatures in Blue World. Many of them are only found in a single area that is either difficult to reach for example, the giant sturgeon Lady Dorothea/Divine Gift is at a wreck surrounded by great white sharks, or requires a specific diving partner/time of day/moon phase/item. Or they might just be tough to handle (half the time, you're too busy running away from Thanatos to photograph him). Finding any particular creature earns you a title. | |

Nature Spirit: It's hinted that some of the legendary animals are more than just animals. Thanatos and the Ancient Mother are the prime examples of this but the Blue Bird also seems to be more than it appears. A more blatant example is the Commerson's dolphin that you can befriend. It is heavily implied, if not outright stated, to speak, and is found guarding a treasure room in the uppermost part of a sunken temple. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? | |
| Endless Ocean (Video Game) / int_5beef860 | comment |
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Ironically, Kat is severely aquaphobic. Her father Patrick died while on a dive when he got tangled up in kelp and eventually drowned. Seems fairly reasonable that she might have an aversion to diving after that. The player becoming tangled in the kelp themselves, only being saved by their dolphin companions, makes her very worried that this nearly happened again. | |

Threatening Shark: Magu Tapa, Thanatos, and the Okeanos Guardian say hi. With their huge, tooth-lined, bloodied mouths. Besides the legendary sharks, there's also at least five other species of dangerous sharks: Greenland sharks in the Arctic, a tiger shark at Deep Hole at night, a bluntnose sixgill shark in the Abyss, goblin sharks in the Cavern of the Gods, and good ol' great whites all over the Ciceros Strait. None of the sharks actually bite; instead they use a Tail Slap attack. Averted with many of the other sharks, though. Whale sharks and basking sharks are huge but harmless, and a number of smaller species (hammerheads, for example) are also safe to swim near. The lack of damage in the first game meant even potentially nasty sharks never pose a real threat. | |

Frigid Water Is Harmless | |
| Endless Ocean (Video Game) / int_69b56b44 | comment |
Frigid Water Is Harmless: Two dive locations of Blue World are in the Arctic and the Antarctic. This is initially subverted during the player's first visit to the Arctic, where their oxygen depletes faster and they need a dolphin partner to get through the place. This is only then played straight where, upon the first time the player arrives in the Antarctic, the player receives a body gel for the cold weather (serving as a handwave to how they can survive in the frigid water and finally making the Arctic water harmless) and special air tanks, with only a mention of a dry suit, albeit with no visual changes. Considering the character's costume can be changed to a bikini (for women) or just a pair of trunks (for men), you can go diving in those places thusly garbed and suffer no ill effects. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Endless Ocean (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Thanatos is named for the Greek god of death of the same name. He is notably described as being iron-hearted and ruthless, making him an ideal namesake for a powerful and actively malicious Great White, and who may very well be not of the material realm. | |

Fanservice: Downplayed. If you purchase swimwear in Blue World that doesn't consist of a wetsuit and have your character wear it, you can have him/her partake in a Shower Scene using the facilities behind the Nineball Island cabin. Or, if you don't need your character to be washing to appreciate it, you can take your character on a dive in the swimwear. Then you can go ashore, and look all around. Or hey, if the front is all you need, looking at the character wearing it in the equipment menu is sufficient. | |

Just Toying with Them: A cutscene in Valka Castle has the player dead to rights when Thanatos passes by, and he even lunges at them before pulling back. With only single-paned glass standing between the two, this is the only logical explanation for why Thanatos doesn't just destroy them right then and there, and handily foreshadows the fact that there's more to him. Even after this cutscene, he still silently watches the player through some of the windows, and at night he cranks down the subtlety just to get them quaking in their flippers. | |

It's also mentioned in passing that Hayako helped catch and release a giant whale. Also, Nancy sometimes mentions that she wishes she could send you her stuff via e-mail; this is the manner in which everything was received in the first game, despite the impossibility (such as a wetsuit being sent as an e-mail attachment). | |

Acceptable Breaks from Reality | |
| Endless Ocean (Video Game) / int_b6e1d40b | comment |
Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Many aspects of the game's diving are dangerous in real life, but the game would be frustrating to play if the dangers were played straight. Normally diving hours are restricted. Divers are forced to use tables to calculate the amount of hours they can safely dive on a day, depending on the depth and time they already spend underwater. None of the characters follow these rules; in Real Life they would all get serious illnesses. With the exception of a few plot-related sequences, you can always go back to the boat, no matter the circumstances; even when on threshold of running out of air, surrounded by aggressive creatures, or underground. Real-life divers cannot take that kind of liberty with their air, especially as surfacing too quickly has its own problems (mainly decompression sickness, an ailment that Jean-Eric actually suffered from, leaving him unable to dive again, though other NPC divers are just as exempt from this problem as the player). In the second game, the player (and other diving companions) can swim far away from the boat, even though in real life this is usually risky (hence why in the first game, the player cannot swim outside a diving radius surrounding the boat). | |

Magic Music: The Song of Dragons is an in-universe example: humanity obsesses over its meaning and origin, and it's become known as a harbinger of doom wherever it is heard. It's actually a musical key known by all whales that guides people to and unlocks the Okeanides ruins... and subsequently drives the whales within mad to seal it up again. | |

Dub Name Change: Several locations and legendary creatures have different names in the American and European releases. For example, the legendary giant sturgeon is named "Lady Dorothea" in the American release and "Divine Gift" in the European release. In the first game the main area is called Manoa Lai in the NTSC release and Manaurai in the PAL releases. The Ancient Mother, named in the NTSC release, is referred to as the White Mother in the PAL release. The Black Harbinger found in Blue World ends up matching up better as a counterpart to the latter name. The second game is titled Adventures of the Deep for PAL, Blue World for NTSC; and Forever Blue: Call of the Ocean in Japan. | |

Magic Realism: The incredibly varied wildlife, all of the sea's animals being tame and friendly to humans, and the Manoa Lai artifacts and legends all seem to be best explained by something other than science.

Shown Their Work: Some of the game's detractors say it has a little too much information about fish sandwiched in. Fans say that's just part of its appeal. Blue World tones down the factoids considerably, but there's still a great deal to learn. There are a couple of mistakes, though. They're few and far between, but they're there: for example, the false killer whale you befriend in Blue World can apparently find items with its "keen sense of smell". Cetaceans have a highly-developed sense of taste, but they have no sense of smell in the conventional sense, as their nostrils are closed off most of the time. | |
