Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A series of PC Turn-Based Strategy games by Falcom. The original Vantage Master was released in December 1997, and was followed by Vantage Master V2 in early 1998, and by VM Japan in 2002. 2002 also saw the English translation of the original game (well, sort of) and it becoming available for free download on their website. The other games still haven't been released outside of Japan.All of the games have you play as a summoner capable of calling forth elemental creatures known as Natials in battle. The gameplay consists of duels between summoners, who move around the hexagonal board trying to capture magic stones which provide more mana for additional summoning. In a campaign, every battle earns you a new Natial or a new spell. | |

| Vantage Master (Video Game) / int_2639f6eb | comment |
Status Effects: Vantage Master just had frozen / petrified, which functioned identically. Vantage Master Japan added poison, magic-seal, charm, buff and debuff effects. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Vantage Master (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Most of the highest-tier Natials are very powerful, but also very specific; unless you're winning overwhelmingly already, you're often better off with a more well-rounded lower-tier Natial instead. | |

Contractual Boss Immunity | |
| Vantage Master (Video Game) / int_5bb56482 | comment |
Contractual Boss Immunity: Subverted, especially in Vantage Master Japan. Summoners are not at all immune to the game's Status Effects, so hitting them with petrifying, sealing, or charming effects can often end the battle near-instantly if you can get into range. | |

Mon: Subverted, in that while you summon monsters to fight for you, you're on the field and can be attacked yourself. Some summoners are focused on being good at personal combat themselves, too. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: Falcom's translation of the original PC game was given away for free, so what can you expect? It's still playable, at least, and it's not a very plot-focused game anyway. | |

Mighty Glacier | |
| Vantage Master (Video Game) / int_933576c8 | comment |
Mighty Glacier: The Shaman summoner class is slow, but has a brutal ranged attack where he throws a boulder. The top-tier water Natials in both games move painfully slow out of water, but are nearly invulnerable and hit with overwhelming force. | |

Non-Elemental: Summoners have no element, which is a mixed blessing — they can do high damage to all elements, but they take high damage from all elements, too, and since you lose if your summoner dies... | |

Mana | |

Mana: All summons cost mana, as do all magical attacks. You earn a small amount of it naturally based on your summoner's magic stat, but most of it is earned by occupying the places of power on the battlefield. | |

Scissors Cuts Rock | |
| Vantage Master (Video Game) / int_e92c4e92 | comment |
Scissors Cuts Rock: The top-tier water Natials in both versions have such outrageous physical defense and attacks that even Earth Natials (theoretically their weakness) generally can't beat them one-on-one. While their magic defense is slightly less obscene, it's still very high, and few Earth Natials have magical attacks to exploit it anyway. Their real weakness is their obscene cost combined with slow movement on land. | |
