A spin-off of Falcom's Xanadu series, Tokyo Xanadu is first for the company in that, as opposed to being set in a fantasy world, it is set in an alternate version of the real world, specifically Tokyo. It is an Action RPG with the graphical engine of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, released on September 30, 2015 for the Play Station Vita.Set in the fictional city of Morimiya on the outskirts of Tokyo, the story follows Kou Tokisaka; an Ordinary High-School Student who works at various overnight part-time jobs to make ends meet while his parents are working overseas. One night, he finds his classmate Asuka Hiiragi being stalked by delinquents, and tries to intervene to save her when out of nowhere, a strange gate appears and draws all of them inside an unknown place. Kou then finds Asuka defeating some monsters using a sword, saving both Kou and the delinquents from them. But before he could ask questions, Asuka erases his memory, and Kou wakes up barely remembering what happened.The next day, Kou attends class at Morimiya Academy, and later works at another part-time job in the evening. After finishing work, Kou finds his childhood friend Shiori being pursued by an invisible creature, and gets drawn into another strange gate. Asuka arrives just in time to deal with the situation, but strongly insists Kou to turn back immediately. However, Kou regains his memory of the night before, and all of a sudden, a strange light grants him a Soul Device; a weapon that can defeat monsters called Greeds. Surprised by this, Kou tags along with Asuka to save his friend Shiori from the monster pursuing her.He is later informed that Morimiya is plagued by a phenomenon known as the Eclipse, which commonly spirits people away into labyrinths where Greeds inhabit. Asuka is a Wielder and an Enforcer of an organization called Nemesis, and her job is to search out for Eclipse gates and defeat the Greeds inside to negate them. Since Kou gained his Soul Device and became a Wielder himself, he also tags along to help Asuka defeat the Greeds.Later, as the story progresses, more students from Morimiya Academy get involved with the Eclipse and become Wielders themselves, and together with Kou and Asuka, they form the Xanadu Research Club (X.R.C. for short) in order to protect Morimiya City from the Greeds.An enhanced port of the game, Tokyo Xanadu eX+, was released on September 8, 2016 for the PlayStation 4 and Steam on December 2017. It features side-stories for most of the playable cast, an after-story taking place months after the main story, and previous NPCs Promoted to Playable. A port to the Nintendo Switch was released on June 29, 2023 in Japan.Surprising many fans, the original Play Station Vita game was released by Aksys Games in the United States on June 30, 2017, whilst eX+ was released in fall of the same year. The English release of the Switch port is slated for a June 2024 release, with a revised localization.A sequel to the game, currently titled Tokyo Xanadu New Project, has been announced.Compare Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE, a Fire Emblem/Shin Megami Tensei spin-off also removed from the former's medieval fantasy roots to be set in modern-day Tokyo. Tokyo Xanadu is also often compared to SMT's spinoff Persona, in which several aspects of said game were appropriatednote Kou's Intelligence, Courage and Virtue meter, as well as the overall storyline of an alternate dimensional plane overlayed over the the town and being accessible through some means only the protagonists are aware of. Furthermore, both this game and the Trails series sharing several expies of its characters, graphics and gameplay mechanics despite being different overall different genres further invites comparisons between SMT and its various spinoffs.

Crate Expectations: Each labyrinth has boxes inside which can be broken to obtain blue energy to heal, yellow energy to recharge your X-Drive gauge, and other additional goodies like consumable items and crafting materials. In fact, part of the final grade you get from completing the labyrinth goes to destroying all of the boxes, and the game gleefully tells you this from the start.

Peninsula of Power Leveling
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_16972b3c
comment
Peninsula of Power Leveling: The Ruined Castle of Darkness in eX+. Story-wise, you visit this labyrinth during the Intermission Chapter's side-story as White Shroud and the Armored Soldier, and the dungeon by that point has some very strong and high-leveled enemies. But, should you decide to return here as the X.R.C. in Chapter 6, you'll gain large benefits in level grinding with the higher difficulty involved, since the enemies here give a lot more Experience Points than the enemies of the previous labyrinth (Sacred Land of Eternity). It's possible to jump three-to-five levels ahead of your current expected level in this labyrinth (perhaps even more if you keep doing consecutive runs until Anti-Grinding sets in), which can make the rest of the labyrinths in Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 a breeze.

Gender-Equal Ensemble: By the end of the main game, the team has four boys (Kou, Yuuki, Shio and Gorou) and four girls (Asuka, Sora, Mitsuki, Rion). The After-Story campaign adds two more guys (Jun and Ryouta) and two more girls (Shiori and Towa) to the ensemble (though the latter two are Support Party Members).

Wainscot Society
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_209d0b5f
comment
Wainscot Society: There are multiple groups dedicated to dealing with and understanding the Eclipse, and sometimes harnessing it for technological development. These groups make up the Underground. The two main organizations are Nemesis; a looser group consisting of scientists and specialized Enforcers, and Zodiac; an alliance of MegaCorp families who want to keep a lid on things and sometimes profit by them. The two groups trade information, technology, and money (much of Nemesis' operating budget comes from licensing tech to Zodiac), but are not precisely allied. There's also a fair number of people in Morimiya who are in the know and involve themselves in trading Eclipse materials and gems, but are not specifically identified with either group. The Xanadu Research Club are likewise unaffiliated, though they include members of both Nemesis and Zodiac, and are able to call on assistance from both. Then there's the Seal Knights of the Kronos Orden, who are separate from the rest of the Underground and are more interested in simply destroying Greed and Eclipse-related phenomena. Zero Battalion Aegis, the Japanese National Defense Force's anti-Eclipse unit, are also separate from the Underground, though they're cooperating with Orden.

comment
One-Time Dungeon: The Viridian Path, Amber Waterway, and Frost Demon Path labyrinths in the After Story. They're short and linear dungeons that you only visit once to reunite with the other X.R.C. members after they've been separated. But afterwards, you're unable to revisit them, even from the Eclipse selection menu. Notable in that they're the only dungeons where you don't get graded for your performance at all.

Reused Character Design
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_277686f2
comment
Reused Character Design: Most of the character models in the game looks familiar, as if they've taken the 2D character designs from the older Trails Series games, flashed them out into 3D models and reused them in the game. If you think Kou kinda looks like Joshua Bright but with brown hair and Sora looks kinda like Kloe Rinz but with cyan hair, you're not going out of your mind. And that's saying nothing about Towa....

Station square's electronic billboard will occasionally show a slide reading Yumine Morimiya. This doubles as a Bilingual Bonus, as it means Morimiya's Dream, which again ties in to how the City is becoming increasingly disconnected from the reality that Shiori died in the earthquake 10 years ago.

Bland-Name Product: One of the electronics brands on sale at Star Market is “Yanaha.â€� Also on sale are products from Sany, Antendo and Mystsoft. Rion drinks a "Dr. Paper" in her Chapter 5.5 friendship event. In the After-story, Towa is shown using a "Zell" laptop. The Xiphone itself is a very clever one to the iPhone, just with an extra X added. One of the items you can buy for Kou's room is a video game console called the "MegaStation 4". All over the place on Station Square. Sometimes it's adding one character (Misetannote Isetan Proper and Nikeanote Ikea, along a parody of the unmistakable logo), sometimes it's subtracting one character (Akashimayanote Takashimaya proper, and sometimes it's swapping one character out for another (NOS Burgernote MOS Burger proper.). There is also a sports outlet called Izunonote Mizuno proper there. The TVs sold by Star Camera comes from the Aqua series line-upnote Aquos proper. The railway service in the country is run by Nippon Rail, with a logo that's a stylized NR note In real life, the Japanese railway service is run by Japan Rail, whose logo is a stylized JR.

Power Levels
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_324e2fcf
comment
Power Levels: Greed's power levels are classified by a series of types, which imperfectly describe combat power and more specifically correlate to their ability to affect the real world: Regular Greed can only exist within and affect the Eclipse. Elder Greed can take over and control Eclipses, which can then open on their own and draw people inside. They serve as early level bosses, though they're often relegated to sub-bosses or mooks later on. Grim Greed are capable of bringing the Eclipse out into the real world. They start appearing as bosses halfway through the game. The SS-class Grim Greed is fundamentally the same, it's just a much stronger version as well as being the mount for the Princess of Doom. XXX Greed (or SSS-class Greed) are powerful beyond classification, and are able to affect all of Japan or the world with their power or Cosmic Retcon the dead back to life...sort of.

Elemental Powers

comment
Elemental Powers: There are 5 attributes, and both characters and enemies are attuned to them, making switching between party members during battle crucial. They are Fire, Spirit, Wind, Steel, and Shadow. Note that the characters attribute is determined by their Master Core (similar to the Master Quartz), meaning that each member of the party can change their attributes by switching out their Master Core. This is divided among the party as such (barring Kou being the only character who can use any of the five): Fire: Kou, Shio (Primary), Mitsuki, Gorou (Secondary) Spirit: Asuka, Ryouta (Primary), Yuuki, Rion (Secondary) Wind: Sora, Rion (Primary), Shio (Secondary) Steel: Yuuki, Gorou (Primary), Sora (Secondary) Shadow: Mitsuki (Primary), Asuka (Secondary) Light: White Shroud (AKA Jun) (Only)

A Taste of Power
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_43bda213
comment
A Taste of Power: The White Shroud and Armored Soldier's side stories in eX+ are essentially the pair slaughtering their way through Greeds. Compared to the X.R.C., the White Shroud has the Light element that counters all but Shadow on the Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors chain, regenerates health from killing enemies, and has absolutely destructive attacks that hit everything in front of him. This is especially prominent given that the White Shroud's initial playable appearance immediately follows the first chapter's tutorial labyrinth. The White Shroud also doubles as a One-Man Party once they join the party permanently, as he loses none of that power and effectively out-tiers the entire cast.

The Heartless
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_519c6fd3
comment
The Heartless: The Greeds are a variant of this. While they're not spawned directly from people's negative emotions, they are drawn to people because of it, and will cause further problems for the targeted people in question. However, one type of Greed that definitely plays this trope straight are the Phantom-type Greeds, which are said to be the literal manifestations of dark emotions reaching a critical point. The Elder Greed you fight at the end of Chapter 2 is Sora's senpai Chiaki, who transforms into a Phantom-type Greed as a result of her jealousy and resentment towards Sora getting the better of her.

Happy Ending Override
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_53c5f30e
comment
Happy Ending Override: In the eX+ version, the After Story chapter is added after the Epilogue/True Ending of the original game. While Shiori was revived due to the Nine-Tailed Fox retconning reality, this also brought back the Twilight Apostle in a much stronger state than when it was fused with Shiori. The Twilight Apostle proceeds to trap the XRC, Shiori, and other NPCs in a fake Morimiya in order to challenge them, and eventually plans on destroying all of reality. While the XRC does manage to beat the Twilight Apostle and save both Shiori and the world, Rem states that they'll eventually have to make a choice again.

I Work Alone
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_5571b706
comment
Asuka initially wants Kou to stay out of her business and not try to investigate the Eclipse with her. She's an enforcer for Nemesis and prefers to work alone, while Kou has no knowledge of the Underground. He manages to wear her down and get her grudging acceptance, but this trope comes back in full effect in Chapter 5, when Asuka discovers a Greed on a tier higher than anything they've faced before. According to her, a Grim Greed is entirely beyond the rest of the group's skill, and so she puts Kou in a barrier so he doesn't interfere with her defeating it.

Save Scumming: It's possible to take advantage of save points in dungeons to get the no damage bonus. Though this strategy is more practical on higher difficulties and in dungeons with fewer stage hazards, since it requires running back to the start of the dungeon.

Sequel Hook: eX+ ends up having one in its After-Story: the Twilight Apostle's last words continue to bother Kou, and all Rem can tell is that yes, she does know the meaning behind them and why all of the events of the game happened in the first place. She leaves after saying that it likely means this is only the beginning, and that whatever may happen could take place in this land or another.

Spoiled by the Manual: Some plot-related stuff which are meant to be actual surprises within the game, are spoiled right from the get-go in both the instructions manual, and the art collection booklet that comes packaged with the limited edition of Tokyo Xanadu eX+. Obvious party members aside, some stuff include the Hokuto Group being affiliated with Zodiac, which is meant to be revealed in Chapter 5 as an important plot twist, and the name of the mysterious child Rem, which can make her reveal later in the story less shocking.

Permanently Missable Content: All of the sidequests and friendship events are chapter-exclusive, so it's important to get them done within the chapter's free time as much as possible. Or otherwise, they'll expire and no longer be available. This is especially so with the friendship events because of the limited amount of Affinity Shards you currently have in your possession, so there's no possible way to get them all done in a single playthrough unless you're playing New Game Plus. And in addition, some friendship events contain info needed to complete your friends list, which are easy to miss without a proper guide.

eX+ has a strange example: an Elite Mook from the last dungeon of the main story was given a Palette Swap and made into a boss for one of the side-stories. So from the perspective of eX+ alone, it is a straight example of this trope (as the side-story is played before the last dungeon), but in a meta-sense, it's Inverted (an Elite Mook got promoted to a boss).

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: The main source of difficulty in the fishing minigame. The screen shows an image of four buttons with one highlighted showing which to press - but they're not in the same order as they are on the controller, so pressing according to position instead of by label will often result in a wrong press and instant failure. Averted in eX+, which changes the screen layout and actually shows the buttons where they would be on a PS4 controllernote In fact, eX+ made the fishing minigame identical to the one in Cold Steel II, so it becomes an inverted trope to those who spent hours fishing in said game

Keep Circulating the Tapes: In-Universe. There's a magazine you can obtain in the game called "Tokyo Demonic Parade", which goes into in-depth detail about the Eclipse, the Underground, as well as the Kronos Orden, which includes White Shroud. Rem is also briefly mentioned too at the end, but the remaining pages have been torn before it can go into more detail about her. This magazine was recalled by the Japanese government for obvious reasons, so any remaining copies of it are rare. The copy you get is from the pawn shop in Horaichou where the owner is known to be very shady in regards to the Eclipse, so he likely doesn't care if it ends up in civilian hands.

Interface Spoiler: The cards in the Gate of Avalon arcade game display all of the main characters' Soul Devices, including those used by party members who will not officially join until long after Chapter 3 (when the card game is first introduced). Special mention goes to the Blast and Force cards, which display both forms of Gorou's Soul Device, as well as the Bolt card, which displays White Shroud's (aka Jun's) Soul Device. The Mirror card is the odd one out, but still displays a pair of tarot cards and a cane. These are Spirit Arms used by the NPCs Yukino and Old Man Yamaoka respectively in the Final Chapter. There's also another one that careful players might notice. Despite being initially introduced as a supporting character, Gorou's picture on NIAR looks suspiciously more detailed and larger than other Non Player Characters (that includes major supporting characters like Shiori, Towa, Jun, and Ryouta), just like the seven playable characters. Turns out he eventually joins the the X.R.C. as the eighth and final party member.

Foreshadowing
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: A throwaway line from Kou early in the prologue turns out to be this as it foreshadows Shiori has been Dead All Along. Several times, especially during the hot springs intermission episode, it's mentioned about gods watching over Morimiya. This becomes especially important when on the path to the True Ending in eX+ as Nine-Tailed Fox is an ancient god who has been forgotten by Morimiya's people and returns Shiori to life. Station square's electronic billboard will occasionally show a slide reading Yumine Morimiya. This doubles as a Bilingual Bonus, as it means Morimiya's Dream, which again ties in to how the City is becoming increasingly disconnected from the reality that Shiori died in the earthquake 10 years ago. The existence of the Nine-Tailed Fox was mildly hinted at the Intermission chapter in handful of "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" lines regarding ancient gods underneath Morimiya. In Yuuki's bonding episode at the hot springs has Kou take a picture of Yuuki and a fox-shaped shadow. Later in the Intermission's dungeon, Rem mentioned that she took on the form of a fox because she's borrowing part of the power of something sleeping in the area.

The End... Or Is It?: In eX+ after beating the game, the credits scroll and a final image comes up. Then some text pops up: Tokyo Xanadu is completed. But "eX+" is not completed. To be continued... "After Story". More effective if you play the game without knowing exactly what the eX+ version adds.

Infinity +1 Sword: The Rainbow Crown accessory is this. It not only comes with Lucky Seven stats (77 on every stat, including 77% critical boost), but it also has the benefit of making the wearer immune to all satus ailments. It’s a New Game+ accessory that requires having filled out each and every single character page on NiAR, then talking to Kaoru in the After Story.

Alternate History: The existence of the Eclipse aside, reading into a bit of lore from the school library books reveals that Japan's military has developed much differently in the game's universe than it did in real life. It became the fourth largest military in the world note For reference, that is just below the three major military superpowers of China, Russia, and the US, and higher than Japan's current rank in real life which usually hovers around ninth or tenth place., among its arsenal includes Humongous Mechas called Valiant Gears, which are seen in action in Chapter 7.

 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_aa822c89
comment
Disappointed by the Motive: Mikuriya's reason to forcefully summon the Greed Angel out of Rion (which could very well kill her) is apparently because he wanted to gain leverage in future negotiations with the Hokuto group and eventually be accepted as one of the twelve core families in the Zodiac group. X.R.C. in general, and especially Mistuki and Rion in particular, are very disappointed in his reasoning and behavior.

And as you progress further through the story, more districts will be unlocked, which will further expand the city and the scope of your adventure. The game's back cover even advertises the game as being 1/2 Action RPG, and 1/2 City Adventure.

There's also another one that careful players might notice. Despite being initially introduced as a supporting character, Gorou's picture on NIAR looks suspiciously more detailed and larger than other Non Player Characters (that includes major supporting characters like Shiori, Towa, Jun, and Ryouta), just like the seven playable characters. Turns out he eventually joins the the X.R.C. as the eighth and final party member.

The exception to this is the Dark Delphinium, most likely due to already being used as the demo boss.

Required Party Member: All over the place, but one place with a really specific inversion is that you can't have Kou, Gorou, Asuka, and Mitsuki together in Team A when attacking the Fortress of False Gods. This isn't specifically explained in-game; likely, it's because these four have significantly more seniority and experience than the others, and none of the rest would qualify to command the B-team.

Rebuff the Amateur: Asuka initially wants Kou to stay out of her business and not try to investigate the Eclipse with her. She's an enforcer for Nemesis and prefers to work alone, while Kou has no knowledge of the Underground. He manages to wear her down and get her grudging acceptance, but this trope comes back in full effect in Chapter 5, when Asuka discovers a Greed on a tier higher than anything they've faced before. According to her, a Grim Greed is entirely beyond the rest of the group's skill, and so she puts Kou in a barrier so he doesn't interfere with her defeating it. In Chapter 7, when Gorou and the Aegis Battalion intervene, he tells the XRC that they've done great so far, but now that the Breed is active and threatens to cause The Tokyo Fireball, it's time for the adults to take charge and deal with things using Humongous Mecha.

Asuka's solution is also correct, looking as if copied directly from the same textbook, thus showing that she excels at math.

Company Cross References
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_d9e48d0
comment
Company Cross References: The game makes references to many other Falcom works in the game world. Posters for Ys VIII and Cold Steel III, and in Cold Steel III's case, even featured an in-game television screen showing screenshots of the game. It should be noted that both games are still in early stages of development when Tokyo Xanadu was released. When getting his soul device, Kou was asked "Do you want power?" by the Twilight Child, no doubt playing on the infamous scene at the end of the first Cold Steel where Valimar asked Rean the same thing but in Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe. In Shiori’s friendship event in Chapter 4, Kou is reading a story about a certain red-haired adventurer. If you challenged Towa in the Gate of Avalon mini-game, she will mention that one of her friend from college is the creator of it, possibly a reference to Crow as he's a close friend of her Cold Steel incarnation who popularizes Blade which Gate of Avalon is based on. Some party members are this to the cast of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, and some even from other Trails Series games: Kou is a high school student who happens to take a lot of part-time jobs after school, like Rean who became an errand boy for Thors' Student Council which became the sources of some of the game's side quests. Yuuki is a major shoutout to Jona Sacred from Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure in that both are Computer Wizard/Playful Hackers with extremely similar personalities. They even recycled Terminal Room, which is practically Jona's theme, for use with Yuuki. Jun AKA White Shroud also has some similarities with Wazy Hemisphere from The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero as both of them are soft-spoken green-haired pretty boys who are actually powerful Church Militant on secret infiltration missions. Towa Kokonoe is identical to Towa Herschel from The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel. The arcade at Horaicho has some pretty interesting games: They have a game called Gate of Avalon, which is what the card game Blade is called in this universe. Incidentally, in the first Cold Steel, Gate of Avalon is a Blade card game tournament held during the Thor's school festival. There's a game called Explosive Fishing with Demon Rean, which features Rean and several popular Erebonian fishing spots. The PS4 and PC version plays identically to the fishing minigame in Cold Steel II The arcade also has Pom! Pom! Party! machines. Sadly, those are not playable. The claw machine in the arcade is themed after Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure. One game at the arcade is Mishy Panic with Magical Girl Alisa, combining characters from both The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel with one of the minigames from the latter. The Show Within a Show Magical Girl Alisa features characters from The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel in a Magical Girl setting. One of the sidequests requires Kou to dress up as the town mascot, Morimaru, and do a performance because the regular actor for the character has fallen ill. This is a play-by-play callback to a sidequest in The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure where Lloyd has to dress up as the Mishelam Wonderland mascot, Mishy, and do a performance because the regular actor for the character has fallen ill.

Monster of the Week
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_e9604359
comment
Monster of the Week: The story follows a more episodic formula of isolated incidents caused by particular Elder Greeds, with said monsters being the last bosses of each chapter. This goes on until Chapters 5 and 6, where an Arc Villain is introduced to be the cause of the Grim Greeds wreaking havoc in those chapters, and Chapters 7 and 8 put focus into fighting the actual Big Bad.

Metropolis Level
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_ea5f3ee1
comment
Metropolis Level: Most of the game takes place in Morimiya City, a fictional district of Tokyo that serves as the main Hub Level. Between going into the Eclipse to defeat the Greeds, you can spend time talking with the residents and helping out with their tasks, as well as bond with Kou's friends. The city is divided into several districts to explore like Morimiya Academy, the Central Square, the vintage Brick Alley, the park, the entertainment district, the mall, and even Morimiya's signature tower. By the final chapter, Morimiya becomes a Dungeon Town as it gets overrun by Greeds after the Princess of Doom awakens.

Anti-Grinding
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_f11c3835
comment
Anti-Grinding: The game follows Falcom's usual practice of having diminishing returns for fighting monsters of a given strength as the party's level goes up. In addition, upgrading the Soul Devices is dependent on having certain monster drop items, and every upgrade slot requires different ones, that are found in different dungeons. By the time you clear a given dungeon 2-3 times, you'll have all of that drop that you can possibly use, so there's no point in long-term grinding for crafting materials, either.

Keep It Foreign: During an English lesson early in the game, the subtitles in the English version briefly turn into Japanese as Asuka speaks the Japanese version of the line being read.

Arbitrary Headcount Limit
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_f3cf30d9
comment
Arbitrary Headcount Limit: You can only bring a maximum of three characters out of the grand total of eight (ten in eX+) into any labyrinths at a time, and the third slot is reserved as a support slot for the character to be on standby while gradually healing from damage. This is even hand waved in-game by Asuka, who notes that bringing more people into labyrinths could be dangerous, and insists that other party members should fall behind for back-up just in case.

Disc-One Final Dungeon: The Fortress of False Gods. You split in two groups, complete a long dungeon, and ended with a battle with the "breed" that lurks under the Morimiya City. You did it! But then the White Shroud remarked that he can still feel the presence of "twilight", Kou received an urgent call from Shiori, and another "Hollow Quake" happened. There is still one more chapter to go.

Earn Your Happy Ending
 Tokyo Xanadu (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7
comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: In the True Ending, after everything they went through, the main characters managed to bring back Shiori thanks to her being revived by the God-like spirit residing below Morimiya. The ending credit shows us the characters with their friendship stronger than ever and enjoying the happy times. The After-Story in eX+ shows this is meant to be the canon ending, though the XRC has to work even harder to maintain their happy ending because of the Twilight Apostle, who was revived alongside Shiori.

Great Offscreen War: The war between the wielder and Greeds 10 years before the current story. Nobody is aware of it except for those with knowledge of Eclipse, which is a result both from agency cover-up as well as the memory wipes after the incident was resolved.

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: Pandora, a.k.a. Acros Tower in Morimiya City in the Final Chapter. It's divided into five sub-labyrinths leading up to the Final Boss. In the After Story, it’s the Boundary of Death, the biggest Eclipse Gate opened up in Morimiya. It's filled with Greeds of every element, with many of them being degraded versions of previous bosses.
