comment
Cherry Tapping: There are bosses that must be taken down in a way more similar to an action game by putting it in a weakened state or expose its weakpoint in some way. Or, you can just attack it head on, dealing minimal damage but relying on chains to deal more damage anyway, and diffusing healing circles as they come to keep your party alive.

Fangirl: One side quest involves Zael going to see the fortuneteller to get his love fortune told. He then goes to the Balcony of the plaza and gets to flirt with a random girl. You repeat this process successfully eight times, and then when Zael goes to the bar where the girl(s) tell him to meet them, they all start squeeing madly. Later in the story, some of the maids in the castle start talking about which of the male mercenaries they like the best. They mention Zael, Lowell and Yurick. There's a girl in the Library who wants to marry Yurick. Her brother is less than impressed.

Multi-Mook Melee
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_119dc902
comment
Multi-Mook Melee: The Arena battles are based on this trope: In each of the three season matches, Zael and the party members accompanying him have to venture into 3-4 encased battle zones, one after another, and in each of them there are large groups of enemies wanting to defeat them. The third and final match includes one of the game's post-ending Superbosses, and it's very difficult to beat without a good strategy.

Katanas Are Just Better
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_12a22bd8
comment
Katanas Are Just Better: The "Rising Sun" katana can break through an enemy's guard if used during an attack chain ... but it only upgrades to +5, when other weapons can be upgraded higher to do more raw damage. You receive Zoran's katana as a side-quest reward. It upgrades to one of the better katanas in the game, but compared to some of the other swords, it's still fairly low on the list.

You Can't Thwart Stage One: Despite the game tricking the player into believing that the trope will be played straight, it turns out to be averted. Smug Snake bad guy has a plan to unleash a horde of monsters on the town, and steal in the chaos... you thwart it before he can release the monsters.

Cutscene
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_160cc6f
comment
Cutscene: Cutscenes are typically letterboxed, but most are in-engine rendering instead of pre-rendered. However one mechanic in them requires you to 'look' (in First-Person view) for certain points in the area in order to advance it. This mechanic is also used just before some fights, as you can use it to avoid being ambushed or squished by traps.

Second Hour Superpower: During the first chapter, at the moment Zael thinks Syrenne was killed, the spirit of the Outsider gives him the Gathering power, which not only allows him to bring Syrenne back to life, but also attracts enemies to him to protect his friends. As the game progresses, this power becomes more influential for the success of the quest.

Our Orcs Are Different
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_1a303edf
comment
Our Orcs Are Different: The Gurak are Tolkein versions according to the the stereotype. They're actually Blizzard versions that have been pushed into acting like the Tolkien version. The Gurak also resemble Dark Elves a bit, with their dark grey skin, and (usually)white hair. They also are magically talented, which is uncommon for the average orc-like species in fiction. The common, mook variety looks quite a lot like the dark elf enemies from Final Fantasy and IV, when without masks, while the more handsome and important ones, like the brothers Zepha and Zesha, could be easily mistaken for Drow. The Reptids, meanwhile, play the Orc archetype pretty straight, being an Always Chaotic Evil group that both the humans and the Gurak regard as a lesser species, and yet are shown to be sentient enough to otherwise be on the level with humans and Gurak.

Leaked Experience: Don't fret about party members sitting on the sidelines while the rest of your party is off fighting monsters and progressing the plot; they'll earn proportionately higher experience during their first few battles back on the team and catch up in no time. Inversely, though you can summon infinite waves of enemies from Summon Circles, the experience they yield abruptly drops after a certain point.

It Only Works Once: During the battle against Sentinel Beast Atar, Calista can perform the "Ancient Summons" rite, but only once. (Fortunately, once is all you need.) Then there is the battle against the Last Cocoon, where a large sword hanging in the arena can be dropped on the boss for extra damage, but you only get one attempt at knocking it down.

Great Escape: Subverted. The party is put in jail after being accused of kidnapping royalty by Jirall. They plan to escape via the underground ruins in the jail. They end up failing miserably after they fight their way through the undead hordes to find that they've reached a dead-end (snowy mountains, which are at least open to the sky), so they give up and head back to the cell. In the meantime, Lowell's been keeping the prison guards busy enough chatting to "forget" how five people are missing from their cell.

Status Effects
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_2639f6eb
comment
Status Effects: There are a variety of negative status ailments. You can cure all of them (and/or prevent them entirely) by standing inside a Heal Circle. "Poison" drains your HP, but won't finish you off. "Silence" prevents you from casting magic (or in Zael's case, Gale). "Paralysis" disables a character, but you can shake it off with some Button Mashing. "Sticky" slows a character's movements down. "Petrify" slows down and ultimately paralyzes a character, but isn't considered fatal; you can shake it off similar to Paralysis. "Death" sets a timer and kills a character after 30 seconds.

Funny Background Event: While Calista is busy arguing with two knights who were harassing a merchant, Zael is in the background pacing back and forth, wondering if he should either interrupt, run away or help. The horrified look on his face is priceless. While we don't see this, during Season 3 of the Arena matches, the Commentator (a human) gets attacked by his new co-commentator (a monster). Whatever's going on there, it sounds hilarious.

Sidequest
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_2af679a6
comment
Sidequest: Some of them are dead easy, like fetching ingredients for NPCs to plain weird. In order to learn how to dive into the water (you know how to swim however...) you have to catch three frogs. And in order to find said frogs, you must talk to a fortune teller who tells you where the frog is. An old man who lives at the far east end of the river in the city will reward you with various goods depending on the following: 1. How many times you've bumped into NPCs in the city. 2. How many times you've made Zael run face first into a low hanging sign. 3. How many times you've made Zael fall on his ass by slipping on a banana peel/spilled fruit. One optional sidequest leads to something akin to a superboss: Swim to the east end of the river in Lazulis City to find three Cave Cougars. Can you defeat them all by yourself? Probably not without a New Game Plus. Fortunately for you, getting a Game Over here at least lets you exit the dungeon and return to town without penalty.

Dagran's Limit Break ability, Death Sentence, kills a mook after a brief amount of time. Other mooks also have this spell, so if they use it against you or your party members, the heal circles will be the only way to abort the incoming doom.

Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Calista. She's been held in Castle Arganan her entire life, so when she runs away from home to wander the city, there are a few things she doesn't 'get'. Like how to eat food from the street vendor. And that one has to PAY for food from street vendors. Zael's wallet becomes a bit lighter the night he meets her.

100% Heroism Rating: After thirty chapters, the party (who was originally disliked by the populace for being mercenaries) finally becomes the talk of the town because of Zael. At the beginning of the game, if you bumped into people on the street, they would berate you. At this point of the game, the people you bump into start apologizing profusely as Zael is now a Knight hero and they start to suck up to him. Even the random conversations between NPCs are about Zael and his friends.

Squishy Wizard: You actually can equip mages with heavy armor, but the fact remains that if they take any damage while preparing to cast a spell, it interrupts them and they have to start over. This at least works both ways: You can interrupt enemy mages to prevent them from casting spells, too, and even from the early game you pick up "Wizard Slayer" arrows that nail them.

Guest-Star Party Member: Count Arganan. At one critical moment of the game, he forces his way into your party until the source of the power of the Outsider disintegrates him. The game also gives you General Asthar, Sir Therius, and Horace as guest star party members at different points in the game. Asthar is often much stronger than the player party, while Therius is generally on par with them, and Horace is a virtual non-combatant, being a shopkeeper who gets roped into the group's zany adventures from time to time.

Bittersweet Ending: The game ends with the war between humans and Gurak terminated, ending with both races living together in peace. Also, the Outsider is reassembled and it flies to space where it belongs. Calista marries Zael, and eventually gives him the title of Knight he has been dreaming of. However, the characters lament that Dagran had to be killed when he revealed himself to be a comrade of Zangurak, though he manages to redeem right before his death. It's also revealed that, despite his questionable ambitions, Count Arganan was not purely evil like he thought, and even the otherwise jerk-acting Jirall had earned an undeserved death after he slipped into insanity as a result of Dagran having falsely accused him for the death of General Asthar, which was actually Dagran's crime.

Shirtless Scene: One of the early flashback cutscenes with Zael shows him wearing a jacket. Without a shirt underneath it. Of course any cut-scene can become a shirtless scene thanks to a quest related Key Item.

Butt-Monkey: Lowell. His attempt to flirt with Ariela is completely rejected when she replies with 'What would like to order?' and 'Call me when you've decided what you want to have'. He then says something to Syrenne and gets pushed over the balcony and when the screen goes black, it sounds like he lands on a table. Hard. He gets beat up by Syrenne constantly. Even in cut-scenes he gets the short end of the stick. While examining a mirror he gets abducted by an evil spirit. He is the victim of a groin attack. All sorts of horrible things happen to Lowell, but he doesn't seem to complain. Much. The Gurak Captain also gets the short end of the stick. Each Monster of the Week he tries to sic on the party ends up squishing him or slapping him into a wall before turning to the party. His presence is denied by Zael, when Lowell and Syrenne ask if he ''knows' the Captain. Zael kind of thinks about it, shrugs and says no. He then remembers once he sees the Captain getting squished by a monster.

The Reptids, meanwhile, play the Orc archetype pretty straight, being an Always Chaotic Evil group that both the humans and the Gurak regard as a lesser species, and yet are shown to be sentient enough to otherwise be on the level with humans and Gurak.

comment
Paper-Thin Disguise: Calista only wore a traveler's robe over her vivid blue dress, yet when she lectures two knights for stealing food from a merchant they were bullying, they don't seem to recognize her. She only gets away with it because Lord Arganan has kept her locked away for so long that hardly anyone outside of the castle knows what she even looks like. Meanwhile, Zael has no excuse when a mysterious cloaked figure (in the same cloak!) appearing to help fight off some of Jirall's assassins or spring him from jail.

Evil All Along
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_4aa98555
comment
There are quite a few hints of Dagran being Evil All Along. Some of which includes Ashtar cryptically hinting at an untrustworthy man, him being willing to frame Jirall for the murder, he is essentially the only character with no alibi, when he follows Zangurak on the attack on the fortress, he is left alive by the king, and he is missing for the entire final segment of the game.

Laughing Mad: Count Arganan right after you defeat the Guardian Mitra which protects the Outsider half in Lazulis island, he starts cackling insanely and pulls out the sword he stuck in the Particle. It then disintegrates him, all the while he's still laughing like a maniac. Yurick when he performs his Spirit Arte: Meteor cackles insanely as monsters blow up. Jirall's insane laughter is also quite impressive especially if you visit him in prison, at which point he's gone off the deep end.

Artificial Atmospheric Actions: The gameallows you to knock over baskets of onions, which then knock over the other NPCs when they step on them. Two of them border a plot-important cutscene of Zael discovering Lisa hiding in a wagon. As Zael and Lisa gaze fondly into each other's eyes, oblivious to the rest of the world, the randomly-generated passersby hurtle over with comedy 'thunk' sounds.

Good Scars, Evil Scars: A few characters have very noticeable scars: Lowell has a very large four pointed star shaped scar on the right side of his neck, which you don't see very often due to scenes where he talks you usually see the left side of his body, as well as his initial equipment has him wearing a scarf/kerchief that covers his neck. General Asthar has a number of scars across his face. They only increase his badassery. Count Arganan has a particularly nasty scar/burn wound behind his eyepatch.

Mirroring Factions: The humans and the Gurak tribe hate each other rather equally, taking civilians prisoner and the like. This is made even more so obvious as in the first half of the game, where the Gurak have human slaves. When the tables have turned, humans raid the Gurak Castle and start killing civilians and taking them prisoner without second thought.

But Thou Must!
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_504e271f
comment
But Thou Must!: When the party is accused, imprisoned, and interrogated for "abducting" Calista, Zael won't let you tell the truth, assuming nobody will believe him if he says it was Calista's idea to not head straight back to Lazulis. When the Count initially makes his offer of knighthood to Zael, your two options are "Yes" and "I need more time to think it over". During Zael's actual knighting ceremony, Zael won't let you swear fealty to the Count, hesitating and wondering why did he want to become a knight in the first place. You have to refuse the Count's offer. Sometimes it's played for laughs; if in the epilogue, you choose to say "no" to marrying Calista instead of "I do," she slugs Zael, knocking him out. When he wakes up, everyone pretends it never happened. Even if you do it again. But beware: At a third refusal, the wedding will be cancelled for real and you'll get a Non-Standard Game Over.

Throwing Your Sword Always Works: With a lance, rather than a sword, but it's still used as a sword by whoever has it equipped. Zangurak tries throwing his personal weapon at the party during the final battle with him, but all it accomplishes for the most part is allowing Zael to use it to break his barrier.

Story and Gameplay Segregation: You can read books that offer insight into Zangurak's motivation and reveal the powers of the Outsider before they become the central plot elements but the game will always assume that you didn't. With Zael, it's... sort of understandable. For everybody else, though, it's very egregious.

Sword Fight: One chapter has quick time event where Zael is dueling General Asthar, Zael however has a bad habit of shouting out which way he's attacking. It's likely he's shouting to the player to push the button so that she he can dodge each attack. Later in game, the playable epilogue has Zael duel against Therius instead, as Asthar is now dead, complete with the same sword duel events.

comment
Spanner in the Works: Dagran's plan to kill General Asthar would have succeeded without a hitch had it not been for Zael being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The second half of the game deals with Dagran attempting to keep his plan from falling apart. He frames Jirall to save Zael, but that plan has enough holes in it that it encourages Therius to Pull the Thread. Eventually Dagran has no choice but to kill everyone who gets too close to the truth. Dagran's overall plan to use the Outsider for revenge was hindered, once again, by Zael. It is implied he went to Lazulis Island to obtain the power himself back at the first mission/chapter. When Zael obtained the Mark of the Outsider, he altered his plans to make him a knight and move up in the world. Between playing both sides of the war and edging Zael to go for his dreams, Dagran's the only mercenary who calls him out for throwing away knighthood, and isn't seen again until the last chapter.

Flechette Storm: The Muruk bosses can cover the entire arena in a shower of paralyzing spines. The Final Boss also has a flechette attack that inflicts Death (a countdown timer) on anyone it hits. Both can be blocked with the Barrier status buff or by standing inside an active Heal Circle.

Heel–Face Turn: Zoran, when Lazulis Island is being completely wrecked by the Gurak (and for the third time), will decide to give up his banditry and sell you items and upgrade the party's gear instead. It doesn't really help how he initially did a Face–Heel Turn on the party before the game started though.

Bavarian Fire Drill: At the ball introducing Calista as Jirall's bride-to-be, she leaves the room and goes outside. Zael tries to follow but it stopped by a knight who demands he returns to his post. Dagran then smoothly comes in to cover for Zael by informing the guard that there was a change to the roster and that they should talk it over, leaving Zael free to go outside.

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_6320eced
comment
There's even a bit of Gameplay and Story Segregation if you try to equip your characters with the clothes they're wearing in their official artwork: Zael is wearing Cloth armour in his artwork. While not necessarily bad, the armour is far more suited to a mage than a warrior, granting bonuses to casting speed and HP. Calista can find the dress she wears in her artwork. However, it's black and there is nothing you can do to change it to white. Dagran's "official" armour in-game is Hunter armour. In his artwork he is wearing what appears to be a version of the Heavy Armour that is impossible to obtain or customise in the game.

Permanently Missable Content: While you can replay most dungeons at any time to pick up missed items, there are certain rare items (in non-repeatable dungeons) you can miss out on if you don't find some way of acquiring them the first trip through. At one point, you can explore Lazulis City at night time. There is a sidequest about a drunk man near the Flame and Lizard that is only available during those hours. The only way to get the Fast Bow is by defeating Lesser Shade in less than four minutes. If you defeat it within a longer time, you'll just receive a regular Bowgun. There are even optional chapters that are missable at key points, namely 20, 21, 25 (these three after 31), 24 (if 20 isn't done), 42 and 43 (if the player skips directly to 44, which will trigger the game's finale and take the player to New Game Plus). The Zan Lance, the personal weapon of Zangurak, can only be obtained by defeating him with his own weapon after he drops it. Zael specifically needs to be the one to land the last hit while equipped with the Zan Lance.

Teleport Spam: Some bosses like to teleport around the arena, forcing you to pursue them.

The Doppelganger boss likes to take it up a notch, by switching places with your actual party members.

Improbable Weapon User: Some of the weapons you receive as quest rewards are pretty... screwy. The list includes: a leek (yes, a vegetable), a footstool/chair, a hoe (with a 1% chance of landing a One-Hit Kill) a ladle, a pitchfork - although you'd think this would actually hurt someone, a frying pan, flowers, a hunk of coral, and a wine bottle. Apparently anything that isn't an actual sword or something similar makes for a poor weapon in Last Story, as the following: a lance, a sledgehammer, an axe and a kitchen knife have incredibly low stats.

And Your Reward Is Clothes
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_6ac6a56a
comment
And Your Reward Is Clothes: In the case of the armor you receive. Each armor and leg armor set you have serve as different sets of clothes for your characters. If you upgrade each piece to +9 the clothing gets more and more ridiculous with the addition of chains, armor pieces over shoulders/legs, capes and other fancy bits. Furthermore, you can fully customise the armour as you see fit, colouring or removing pieces of armour as you like, or even making the character go in underwear. You also get three other sets of clothes later on that serve as "costume" armor. They have abysmal stats and cannot be customised, but when fully-upgraded grant some incredible effects. There's even a bit of Gameplay and Story Segregation if you try to equip your characters with the clothes they're wearing in their official artwork: Zael is wearing Cloth armour in his artwork. While not necessarily bad, the armour is far more suited to a mage than a warrior, granting bonuses to casting speed and HP. Calista can find the dress she wears in her artwork.

No Cutscene Inventory Inertia: Largely averted due to most of the cutscenes being live rendered, so your party retains whatever armor and weaponry they had equipped (and what color/configuration you had for them).

Secretly, there's also Big Bad Friend Dagran, who is the game's Final Boss and the one that was playing both sides behind the scenes.

Cave Cougars can be found in a few areas (and particularly when replaying dungeons). At level 40, and in groups of 3 or more, they will make rugs out of YOU if you're not properly prepared (even if you're up to or above their experience level) to take them down. The kicker is you don't even get experience points for killing them, since they show up mainly in replayable areas of dungeons.

And Now for Someone Completely Different
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_7bf14666
comment
And Now for Someone Completely Different: You start the game playing as Dagran, and later on when Zael runs away with Calista, you control Lowell for a while. Then during one of the last chapters, you even control Syrenne and Yurick for a bit. Each character has a slightly different playstyle, and the game helpfully provides tutorials when you take control. You also control Calista during a Stealth-Based Mission. Poor Mirania gets left out of the loop it seems.

Virtual Paper Doll: Not only is armor visible on the characters, you can also acquire dyes to change its color (every party member has their own default color scheme), even remove parts of the armor you don't like (thanks to some "invisibility dye"). Yes, you can make your burly fighters wear neon pink armor, or go into battle wearing nothing visible but their underwear if you're so inclined.

Ring Out: Depending on the lay of terrain, sometimes you can knock an enemy off a cliff to kill them.

Subverted in one dungeon where you fight aquatic enemies — your party members point out that kicking aquatic monsters into the water isn't going to do much, and sure enough, they climb back out.

 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_9c5e8006
comment
Unknown Item Identification: Enemies may occasionally drop rare items with labels like "? SWORD". The player can't equip these as-is, but may take them to specific NPCs for appraisal. The items may turn out to be actual weapons (often strong ones at the time, though sometimes cursed) or useless ornamental ones.

comment
Foreshadowing: The fully upgraded Phantom Blade has a 80 percent chance of increased damage to humans. The weapon is gained long after the games early bandits. There are quite a few hints of Dagran being Evil All Along. Some of which includes Ashtar cryptically hinting at an untrustworthy man, him being willing to frame Jirall for the murder, he is essentially the only character with no alibi, when he follows Zangurak on the attack on the fortress, he is left alive by the king, and he is missing for the entire final segment of the game.

Made of Iron: The party. You get mauled by a big tiger? No problem. You lay there unconscious for a bit and then your HP refills back to Max and you're back on your feet ready to kick ass. Sword wounds? No big deal. Blasted by a giant death ray? No problem. Eaten by a giant spider/lizard? Fight your way out. Even in cutscenes getting stabbed by random pointy things isn't really a big issue for the characters.

Elite Mooks
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_9edbda07
comment
Elite Mooks: The undead in Chapter 1 count since they resurrect and the idea is you're supposed to run the hell away from them instead of fighting them. Undead soldiers found later either ressurect randomly or not at all. Cave Cougars can be found in a few areas (and particularly when replaying dungeons). At level 40, and in groups of 3 or more, they will make rugs out of YOU if you're not properly prepared (even if you're up to or above their experience level) to take them down. The kicker is you don't even get experience points for killing them, since they show up mainly in replayable areas of dungeons. In New Game Plus, some of the summon circle monsters become this. Some Mooks have the word 'Elite' after their name.

Protagonist Journey to Villain
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_a0a005d1
comment
Protagonist Journey to Villain: One of the main themes of the game, according to Word of God. The character in question is Dagran, whose single-minded pursuit of revenge and determination to protect himself from reprisal drives him further and further down the slippery slope. By extension, Zael also counts due to Dagran pushing him down the slippery slope against his will in order to further his aforementioned revenge plot. To Dagran's credit, he gets Zael to within microseconds of crossing the Moral Event Horizon before Zael redeems himself.invoked

comment
One-Hit Kill: If the Mystic Spider fought in Chapter 15 swallows Zael after trapping him with its spider web, it's all over. Swallowing another member of the party won't mean the end of the battle. And in any other battle, even the deadliest enemy attack will only knock characters down at most (the game has a life system that allows the fallen character to get up up to four times). Dagran's Limit Break ability, Death Sentence, kills a mook after a brief amount of time. Other mooks also have this spell, so if they use it against you or your party members, the heal circles will be the only way to abort the incoming doom.

Infinity +1 Sword: Once you've cleared the game the first time around, you can upgrade you weapons to +99. You however need to cash to do so first. And gold caps at 999999. Upgrades start costing the 10000s once you've gone past +5. +90 Upgrades start costing around 100000. The Traive. One of the most powerful weapons in the game when upgraded, and has an 80% chance of recovering 15% health The Zanlance, the personal weapon of Zangurak. Not only is it extremely powerful, but changes your limitless normal arrows into normally limited Burst Arrows! A bit of a Guide Dang It! though; in order to keep it permanently you must still have it equipped when you finish him off, which is easier said than done.

He can be found in the post-game wandering around the lower levels of Lazulis castle, having survived the final Gurak attack.

Love at First Sight
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_a8dcb1d7
comment
Zael is one of romantic RPG protagonists in general. He falls Love at First Sight with a Rebellious Princess, and then tries to spend the rest of the game trying to woo her over. He however doesn't realise that everything he's doing is just serving to push her away... and then there's the fact that, even though Calista loves him, she doesn't want to be with him because she's afraid that Zael will get trapped in her world of corrupt nobles and backstabbing politicians. This unfortunately convinces Zael to try harder, which only causes more problems in the long run. It almost feels like Sakaguchi was using Zael to take pot-shots at his earlier, idealistically-romantic, games. Up until the ending, that is, where he and Calista get married, live Happily Ever After, reconstructing the trope to a degree.

Soundtrack Dissonance: There's a standout example when fighting one tricky Duel Boss - a fun surf-rock theme plays instead of the game's usual fantasy fare (though is a remix of his battle-rock version of his leitmotif). It becomes notably less so should you take advantage of the music to repeatedly shoot Prank Bananas at the boss.

Sea Monster
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_b1c7f430
comment
Sea Monster: Some of the bosses are sea monsters. Very annoying ones at that. The Muruk, a giant sea turtle that can shoot electricity and paralyzing spines. It also has later incarnations such as a Frost Muruk, Dark Muruk, & Giga Muruk. Kraken, a giant squid (you never actually see its entire body though...) with massive tentacles that grab you and throw you. It can also has a Wave-Motion Gun attack that makes chunks of the cave fall on you. Coconut Crabs, regular enemies that have high defense from frontal attacks and can poison party members.

Stargazing Scene
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_b2099693
comment
Stargazing Scene: There's a part within Lazulis City, the Stargazers' Tower, which Calista often goes to during nights to witness the starry sky, as it makes her think of her parents. Meteor showers can be sighted here as well, and it's first accessed near the end of Chapter 7 with Zael's company. It is revisited during the game's final chapter (41), when Zael and Calista give themselves some time together after having done stuff during the Playable Epilogue (including marrying each other).

Bottomless Magazines: Your standard crossbow bolts are magical and never run out ("An archer's best friend" indeed.), but extremely weak and useful primarily for disrupting enemy mages. Other types of arrows are more powerful, but have limited ammunition.

Boss-Altering Consequence
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_b915b765
comment
Boss-Altering Consequence: The penultimate boss fight with Zangurak, the Big Bad of the game, is fought in two phases: one as a Duel Boss with Zael, and the second with the entire party. The second round in particular will give him a shield that can only be broken by his own personal weapon, the Zan Lance, which he will always throw at the player. If the player manages to pick it up before Zangurak can, it can be used to destroy his shield and make it possible for him to be damaged conventionally. However, if the player has Prank Bananas in their inventory, they can fire these banana peels from their crossbow, where Zangurak will comedically slip on them and drop the lance without fail. There are only a few bosses and enemies that are affected by the item, where it can create opportunities to attack. The Prank Banana tactic is viable in both phases of Zangurak's boss fight, where he will be either slipping on the peels to leave him open or won't have a chance to pick up his lance. The Zan Lance in particular can only be obtained if the player deals the final blow to Zangurak in the second phase using his own weapon.

Aerith and Bob: Names are split between wacky and normal. We've got Zael, Dagran, Syrenne, Yurick and Mirania on the wacky side. Normal names are Ariela (Ariel), Calista (like the actress Calista Flockhart), Lowell, and Asthar (a variation of the name Astor). There are also characters in the Japanese dub named Jill and Tasha. Except both of them are men (Jill is Jirall's Japanese name while Tasha is Therius's Japanese name).

Playable Epilogue
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_b9e82f09
comment
Playable Epilogue: The first 40 chapters of the game are the main campaign, while chapters 41 to 44 are the epilogue. And outside the chapters' stages, there's the possibility to play (most) previously completed dungeons, as well as some unique events like a souped-up duel with Therius and the third and last battle royale in the Arena (which ends with a Superboss). It's also one of the few games to combine this with a New Game Plus, because talking to a specific character proceeds straight to a memorial for Dagran and Zael's knighting ceremony (after which the credits roll), eventually prompting you to restart the game wth your latest level and stats.

Slasher Smile: Yurick, gives a particularly nasty one to Zepha as he prepares a spell to kill him. Instead he throws his father's knife at Zefa, and it kills him. Zael has one during an 'episode' he has when he encounters the Last Cocoon, which feeds off of his memories. He ends up during the time when his village was attacked as a child and starts cutting down the bandits (who turn out to be his friends). The smile on his face as he cuts down Mirania without realizing it is horrifying.

Cycle of Hurting
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_c121be7b
comment
Cycle of Hurting: This is mostly averted since all party members, including the protagonist, can die up to 4 times in any battle with no repercussions... then you meet the Forest Spider, which can hit you with a web you have to button-mash your way out of, and if you're not fast enough, not lined up right to retaliate, or are hit by the boss's flunkies, it gives the boss the time to remove one of your party member from the remainder of the battle. It can do this until you're left with your protagonist alone, by which time you can be permanently locked in the Paralysis status for the rest of your five lives.

 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_c3585f4a

Boom, Headshot!: The game explicitly informs you when your crossbows (or magic) land a headshot. Crossbows in particular tend to deal additional effects with a headshot (the standard crossbow can paralyze, and the Sniper Crossbow lands up to triple damage). Combine this with some enemy-specific ammunition and you can take out a lot of enemies in one shot.

Dialogue Tree: You do get dialogue options but are generally prevented from picking whatever one you feel like. For example, early on you can either talk to Calista or put your arm around her while stargazing. Those hoping to be romantic about the whole thing will be disappointed to learn that, should you pick the latter, Zael just chickens out and staggers back a bit. If trying a second time, Zael will (hilariously) fall into the ocean.

Shout-Out
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Some of the events in game are reminiscent of other games: One of the weapons you can win online, the Prophet, can't be called anything but a Keyblade. Have Zael sneak by some guards and then calling the rest of the party is akin to an event a la Final Fantasy VII in the Shinra Building. One of the Muruk incarnations (a giant turtle) comes flying into the Arena, spinning like Gamera. The citizenry is completely horrified, while the party is baffled as to how a turtle that big could fly by spinning. The very title of the game is one to Final Fantasy itself - both titles mean "the last one in a series of fictional happenings". (with some Gallows Humor as like Final Fantasy, Mistwalker would probably have gone down under if the game tanked. In both cases, that wasn't the outcome). The special boss theme for Zesha sounds a lot like the boss theme for Final Fantasy VII.

Jirall is a very deliberate one for characters who are a Draco in Leather Pants. He wants to be one but everyone who's plot-relevant sees this and don't treat him as such. At first, this causes him to descend into the game's Butt-Monkey. Later, the fact that nobody will treat him exactly how he wants causes him to undergo Sanity Slippage until he finally snaps completely and becomes so dangerously insane that he has to be put down.invoked

Hyper-Awareness: Zael from The Last Story is noted to have exceptional eyesight, being able to spot things the other characters don't notice at first. This becomes Fridge Brilliance when you realize that this is because the player can control the camera, giving you (and by extension, Zael) a higher awareness of the surrounding area than the NPC party members.

Hoist by His Own Petard: In the final battle against Zangurak, the only thing that can break his barrier is his own sword, which you have an opportunity to grab any time he drops/throws it at you. And if you can finish him off without losing it, it's yours to keep.

Walking Shirtless Scene: The Incredible Invisibility Dye is a special magical dye that renders your clothing invisible. Its sole purpose is to make your characters appear as if they aren't wearing any armor when, in fact, they are. And naturally, you get the dye that makes your shirt invisible long before the one that makes your pants invisible.

The Chessmaster: Dagran hatches a plan to get revenge on Asthar and get away scot-free. First, he builds up a trusted relationship with the royal family to get close to Asthar and remove suspicion from himself. To speed this along, he encourages Zael to become a knight and befriends Calista. Then he uses the Gurak invasion of Lazulis Island as a massive smokescreen to stab Asthar in the back with no witnesses and an army of potential suspects. It would have been a perfect plan, had Zael not been in the wrong place at the wrong time and gotten himself arrested for Asthar's murder, forcing Dagran to frame Jirall and creating enough inconsistencies that Therius is encouraged to Pull the Thread.

Memorial for the Antagonist: In the final chapter (which corresponds to the game's epilogue), Zael and his friends make a memorial tribute to Dagran, who was revealed to be a Well-Intentioned Extremist who wanted to seize the power of the Outsider to consummate his revenge against the conflicting factions. Said character redeemed himself before his death, and though his friends won't be able to ask him questions about whether or not he could have achieved his goals differently, they never forgot how important he was for them despite his evil actions, so they do the memorial and bid him an amicable farewell.

Lethal Joke Item: The joke items, when in New Game Plus, can be upgraded to ridiculous levels. So who wants a piece of the Leek+99? Some of the online prizes include: A rose, a sunflower, a piko-piko hammer, a hunk of coral. These weapons happen to be a lot better than the freebie joke weapons you find in sub-quests. Finally, a use for the Prank banana. Using them on Zangurak makes the fight a lot easier as he will trip, fall and drop his sword. Which you use on him.

Anime Hair: The characters in The Last Story don't have particularly outlandish hairstyles, but they are pretty non-standard, with various spikes, braids and whatnot. Zael and Dagran have bird feathers braided into their hair. At least in the concept art Zael's mother can clearly be seen with a feather woven into the end of her long braided hair. Mirania has feathers in her hair as well.

Battle Theme Music
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_e08fcc99
comment
Battle Theme Music: Many standard bosses, usually non-sapient monsters, share the same theme (namely "Evil Beasts"); however, plot-critical opponents get a unique theme each: "Battle General Asthar" (self-explanatory, though it's also hear when Zael and Callista flee from the knighting protocol planned by Count Arganan), "Dance of Death" (Zepha and Zesha, though they later use a Sad Battle Music triggered following Lowell's temporary death), "Invitation to Madness" (Jirall), "Patina of the King" (Zangurak), and "The One Ruling Everything" (Dagran, in all his phases). Many of these themes invoke Autobots, Rock Out!, and are intentionally reminiscent of "Those Who Fight Further" of Final Fantasy VII fame, due to Nobuo Uematsu composing for both games. As for regular enemy battles, "Order and Chaos" is usually played.

11th-Hour Superpower: While fighting Sentinel Beast Atar, Calista can use the "Ancient Summon" precisely once to call the other Sentinel Beast, Mitra, which proceeds to clip Atar's wings, making the battle a bit easier. During the Final Boss battle, Yurick gets his Meteor upgraded to "Big Bang", which shatters the boss's impervious barrier. Unlike Calista's Ancient Summon, this one he can use repeatedly... but only during that battle, not after.

Expy: The Five-Man Band is very similar to the one in Blue Dragon, another Mistwalker RPG. Add Mirania and Dagran, and they're similar to Chrono Trigger's playables. Zangurak looks and behaves a lot like Ganondorf. Sentinel Beasts Mitra and Atar are similar to Bahamut and Tiamat from Dungeons & Dragons, and the Final Fantasy series. Both are pairs of draconic 'siblings'. Mitra, like Bahamut, is light aligned, more benevolent, and summonable, while Atar is darker, and more aggressive, like Tiamat. Yurick looks just like a male Fujin.

And lo and behold, he's fine by the end of it and can even fight Zael in the epilogue.

He then remembers once he sees the Captain getting squished by a monster.

Deconstructed Character Archetype: A lot of character archetypes that are very prevalent in JRPGs, including Final Fantasy, are re-examined and put through its paces by exploring aspects that are typically focused on in an adventure like this. Some of these are also a Decon-Recon Switch, however. Zael is one of romantic RPG protagonists in general. He falls Love at First Sight with a Rebellious Princess, and then tries to spend the rest of the game trying to woo her over. He however doesn't realise that everything he's doing is just serving to push her away... and then there's the fact that, even though Calista loves him, she doesn't want to be with him because she's afraid that Zael will get trapped in her world of corrupt nobles and backstabbing politicians. This unfortunately convinces Zael to try harder, which only causes more problems in the long run. It almost feels like Sakaguchi was using Zael to take pot-shots at his earlier, idealistically-romantic, games. Up until the ending, that is, where he and Calista get married, live Happily Ever After, reconstructing the trope to a degree. Calista is one to Sakaguchi's past RPG heroines, in a similar vein as Zael to the male protagonists. Jirall is a very deliberate one for characters who are a Draco in Leather Pants. He wants to be one but everyone who's plot-relevant sees this and don't treat him as such. At first, this causes him to descend into the game's Butt-Monkey. Later, the fact that nobody will treat him exactly how he wants causes him to undergo Sanity Slippage until he finally snaps completely and becomes so dangerously insane that he has to be put down.invoked

Cartwright Curse
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_edc22fe8
comment
Cartwright Curse: Lowell is revealed to suffer from this in an easily-missed optional scene. Every woman he's ever gotten serious with has died some way or another, be it from an unprecedented bandit raid, or suddenly contracting a fatal illness, or something else. This "living hell", as he describes it, has haunted him for most of his life, breaking him more than once, and he lives in constant fear of falling in love with someone (or someone else falling in love with him) and them subsequently dying horribly. Rather than isolate himself and spend his life alone, he's resolved himself to be a playboy who flirts around but never lets anything "deep or serious" come of it. It doesn't last. Although, nothing bad happens to his new love interest.

Covert Pervert: Zael to an extent. When you run into Syrenne and Lowell at the Arena, Syrenne starts to come onto him and makes him feel really, really awkward. He misunderstands her 'description' of the arena for something akin to a brothel which leads to a sound effect for a minor change in his physiology.

Blow You Away: Zael's Gale attack. The magical wind it casts allows it to dispel magic circles, both his party members' to extend their effects and those of the enemies to nullify them.

Swallowed Whole
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_eea96e78
comment
Swallowed Whole: This can happen to your party members via three bosses, the Mystic Spider, the Gold Spider and the Queen of Abyss (a giant lizard/dinosaur/flaming t-rex thing). You can prevent this by using Zael's Wind Spell when your team-mates are trapped in webbing. Not getting swallowed is ideal...except in the case of the Gold Spider — while you're in its belly, waving the analog stick makes Zael attack from within, doing hugely increased damage compared to attacking from outside.

Wall Jump: One of the skills Zael learns is the ability to run up a wall, jump from it and slam his sword down, creating a shockwave. This can also be used to improve spell effects on magic circles.

 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_f300ca44
comment
Cliché Storm: Lampshaded repeatedly in-universe, in a weird, self-deprecating sort of way. At its heart, there is nothing new about The Last Story's plot. The bad guys want to either Take Over the World or Kill All Humans and the central couple are a pair of Satellite Love Interests. All of the Older and Wiser mercenaries completely understand this. As a result, they either snark about how the evenings unfold around them or, more often, Troll the living hell out of the Genre Blind characters. The scene in which Zael first meets Calista is a great example of this. The other mercenaries might not know her exact secret but it's clear from their reactions to her posh accent that they know she's not just some random girl he picked up. So, they make like that's exactly what he's been doing. It rears its head a fair bit in the sidequests as well, meaning that much of the game plays out like a grown-up version of Final Fantasy V.

Wake-Up Call Boss
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f
comment
Wake-Up Call Boss: The white tiger from chapter 2, which is partly a tutorial about using your Gathering and Guard abilities to keep its attention off your comrades, can and will kick your ass if you're not guarding/dodging properly. At the end of the battle on the ship (Chapter 12), you run into a giant terrapin-thing summoned by the ship's captain. While the earlier bosses are either Events or a Bullfight Boss, this one really forces you to think on your feet and learn its tells, because of a spinning-shell attack that will easily wipe out your part all at once, quickly depleting your supply of lives. There's also the Mystic Spider in Chapter 15: Its web attack can make it swallow party members, and if that happens to Zael as well, it's Game Over.

Great Offscreen War: A war occurred hundreds of years ago and was ended by House Arganan. Later on, another large war engulfed the Empire that killed the families of Zael and Dagran, which led to them becoming mercenaries. In addition to that, it is also stated that the Empire has fought many campaigns against the Gurak people in the past. The game's plot is well and truly kicked off when the Gurak invade Lazulis Island, sparking off another war.

Video Game Cruelty Potential
 The Last Story (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4
comment
Video Game Cruelty Potential: You aren't exactly beating people up, but this is still somewhat cruel and unusual. Once you've returned to the main town, you can buy 'Prank Bananas' and shoot them at the townsfolk to make them slip and fall. You can shoot these at anyone, including small children and the elderly. Your party members are a bit more vocal about how much it hurts when you toss bananas at them however. Also making Zael bash his face against signs is hilarious. Making him slip and fall is equally hilarious. NPC's will react (and sometimes vocally complain) if you bump into them while running. During one boss battle, three doppelgangers of your party members appear. If you hit the wrong person (your own friends) they will whine and complain to you. Towards the end of the game, in a case of Gameplay And Storyintegration, the Knights invade the Gurak continent and gleefully raid it. Instead of finding items and equipment in chests, the player can find a cooking pot, a comb, and a doll and choose to take them anyway. However, this also results in Permanently Missable Content.

Nobility Marries Money: Well, nobility marries lesser but wealthier nobility, but it was still the plan with Jirall and Calista. Although both were nobility, Jirall's family had fallen on hard times, but they were close relatives of the emperor. Count Arganan was quite wealthy, so he set up his niece, Calista, to marry Jirall and tie his family to the throne.
