Vindictus, known as Mabinogi: Heroes in the original Korean version, is the Prequel to Mabinogi produced by DevCat Studios and distributed by Nexon USA. The storyline takes place during the period of Mabinogi's history referred to in-game as the "Fomor Wars", which forms the backdrop for most of the original game's storyline quests. The land that the Vindictus storyline takes place in what becomes the dark, hostile "Another World" of the original game.While set in the same world, this is a darker and bloodier version, using Valve's Source engine. Although it maintains some of the original's skill-based system and titles, gameplay is far more combat-oriented — it is being promoted as an "Action RPG" — and the game mechanics are simplified. The gameplay is like a mix of Dynasty Warriors and Monster Hunter, with just a pinch of Demon's Souls. Also differing from Mabinogi, Vindictus is far more story-driven, and at least half of the missions advance the main story. There is almost none of the Wide-Open Sandbox quality that dominated the original game, and most of the side missions are in some way related to the main storyline, typically providing more detail, character development, or a different perspective.While previously absent, as of the "Rocheste Royal Cadet" expansion some of Mabinogi's "life skills" have been added to the game. These are predominantly crafting skills such as blacksmithing and tailoring, and are only available in the city of Rocheste, where they are obtained and trained similarly to combat skills. Despite this, combat is still the dominant focus of the game, and the crafting system is rudimentary by comparison to the original game.Unlike the first game, and most MMORPGs for that matter, there are few common areas outside of towns, and no common combat areas. All fighting takes place in instanced dungeons that allow only small player parties of 1-4 to enter; though there are also raid instances such as the White Tyrant mission in Hoarfrost Hollow that allow for parties of up to 6-10 people, and the various dragon missions that allow for up to 24 in a party.The game is free to play (barring cosmetics and equipment-enhancing items), so if you want to try it out you can find it here: LinkOn February 28th, 2024, Nexon announced Vindictus: Defying Fate, a Souls-like RPG Spin-Off title. The announcement trailer can be seen here.

Vella: The Hotter and Sexier dual-wielding girl who can counterattack, and has an attack style reminiscent of a cross between Lann and Fiona, which emphasizes countering enemy attacks in order to deal heavy damage. Although a bit slower and more evasive than Lann, Vella is still a Glass Cannon DPSer. Her secondary weapon is a pair of chain weapons called "Dual Blades", reminiscent of another special weapon.

Fake Longevity
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_14184bc7
comment
Fake Longevity: As with many MMORPG games, there are a few examples of this. Some examples may be intended as Anti Poop-Socking devices. Advancing a transformation skill (Paladin or Dark Knight) uses an odd mechanic. Every real time hour, you are allowed one transformation. Upon exiting your transformation, you get 75 EXP for your Path Skill and 1 EXP, up to 25, for every 1000 damage you deal. To level up a Path Skill once, you need 2000 EXP. So since it's possible to get a maximum of 100 Path EXP per hour, it takes 20 hours minimum to level up your transformation once. Crafting skills (known as "Talent" in-game, formerly "Expertise") used a similar mechanic prior to the Season 2 release. Aside from the grinding required to earn sufficient experience and randomly dropped items to level the skill, certain special items (known as "finishes") were required for the final "test" crafting. These items were available only from specific NPCs, who provided a maximum of 2 per real-time day, and only in exchange for a number of quest items. 20 of these special items were required for the first level alone, with higher levels requiring more. This was dropped in favour of a simple "recipe" unlock system. Multiple side quests involve collecting a large number of rare item drops, some of which can only be obtained from randomly smashing up the scenery. There is nothing in the game that tells you this, although it's easy to find out from other players. Other side quests involve collecting items from creatures (typically minibosses) that also spawn extremely rarely. Few of these are necessary for advancing the main storyline, but some are the only way to acquire higher-level equips. Titles typically require large amounts of grinding of some sort — killing mooks with weak attacks, using skills, picking up random drops, Mass Monster-Slaughter Sidequest, and so on. Advancing the next dungeon sometimes require getting a certain amount of "Battle Points" (BP), which requires completing the mission under an oath or completing bonus missions in the dungeon. Some of the bonus missions depend purely on luck, to boot.

Darker and Edgier: Everything about this game is literally darker than Mabinogi. The general Real Is Brown aesthetic directly contracts Maginogi's bright and colorful scenery. Monsters are grotesque and bloody, and the plotline gets dark pretty fast, with certain story characters getting killed off not too far into starting a new character.

You Are Already Dead: A Scythe-using Evie's two most powerful special attacks, Death Spike and Invisible Loom, can tag multiple monsters with Mark of Death and Bloody Thread, respectively, that allow Evie to then snap her fingers later and deal a huge amount of damage to everything that was tagged. If done while standing still, she will take a regal pose and lift up her left hand to snap her fingers with her eyes closed. Mark of Death is weaker and can only tag 3 enemies of the same race, while Bloody Thread is at least twice as powerful and can tag 4 enemies of any type.

Bag of Sharing: A minor form in the basic loot drops, known in-game as 'evil cores', which will not disappear until every party member has had their chance to grab from it. Cash shop users who buy items which increase their Luck will have a chance to get 'lucky cores' which are white as opposed to black and are only accessible to the person who triggered the drop (excluding bosses).

Stripperiffic: Unlike Mabinogi, Vindictus fully embraces this trope, especially for its female characters. Not so much with the early equipment, but increasingly with higher-ranking gear. This is exaggerated with the premium shop "inner armor" (aka. underwear) for the female characters. Some of the high-level cloth armour sets for Evie look far more like lingerie than any sort of practical combat apparel. As of "Labyrinth", inner armour no longer grants stat boosts, but while it did, it fully invoked this trope. For example, one set of female underwear consists of a full shirt and pants that resemble a padded motorcycle suit, while another set consists of a skimpy bikini top and bottom. Guess which one gave the higher stat boosts.

Bloodier and Gorier
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_1f963842
comment
Bloodier and Gorier: The dev team makes full use of the physics engine to render realistic blood splatter effects. Killing mooks, and especially bosses, often leaves persistent blood splatters on the scenery, and some parts of Ainle have large bloodstains already. Achieving a critical hit with certain skills can cause temporary blood splatters on your screen, literally Painting the Medium. Bowdlerized in the North American release. While the blood isn't quite gone, it's turned into a black stream, so as to not quite resemble blood. Although verything else, from the splatters and pools of blood to the wounds on the monsters themselves, remains an untouched crimson. The Season 3 update definitely takes this into account, in which it's entirely possible to sever limbs and decapitate enemies at the point of their deaths. This extends to bosses as well.

Fancy underwear and other cosmetic avatar goodies are only available in the cash shop. There are also a number of play-enhancing items and equips available in the cash shop which can give players significant advantages, but none of them are game breakers or otherwise necessary.

Palette Swap: Although common in Mabinogi, it is mostly averted in Vindictus. Low level mooks in Perilous Ruins and Hoarfrost Hollow are divided mainly into melee, strong melee, and ranged damage types, but there are significant differences in their AI patterns. From Ainle onward, additional mook types are added, with substantially different attack styles (including suicide bombers). By contrast, spiders and wisps are essentially identical throughout the game.

Awesome, but Impractical
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
A number of high-powered or unique skills seem to fall under this trope for all character types. However, all skills are capped well below maximum. The current highest rank achievable for any skill is 6 (skill ranks range from F at lowest to 1 at highest, in what appears to be reverse hexadecimal notation), with many of the flashier skills capped much lower (typically A, but as low as C in some cases). New episodes are expected to raise or remove the caps, allowing many of these skills to move from Awesome, but Impractical to Difficult, but Awesome. For example, raising the skill rank on Karok's Boss Bash may allow him to use it on some higher-level bosses which are currently immune.

Lann (Lethita in the Korean version): A highly agile DPS-oriented character who uses devastating combo attacks. Lightly to heavily armored and wielding two swords or a bifurcated spear. Lann relies more on evasion than armor, and is the fastest character. Common builds let him exploit the high-risk, high-reward experience of a Glass Cannon, or let him gear up for a more durable, but still quite powerful Lightning Bruiser.

Cut-and-Paste Environments
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_3273ebb9
comment
Cut and Paste Environments: All combat is in instanced dungeons, known as "missions," set in specific regions. Each region has a limited number of landscape/room/landmark features. Each time a dungeon is generated, it uses a semi-random selection of available features. Certain missions will invariably have certain features every time, and the boss rooms are always the same for each mission, but there will also be a few randomly-generated features as well. This is played straight/averted with some later areas. The Ruins of Sanctity are pretty much the Perilous Ruins, with noticeable changes. Same with Hoarfrost Hollow and Depths, Prairie Entrance and the Fomorian Base. Some of the other areas are truly unique, namely Ainle, The Sewers, and Ortel Castle, but each of those reuses features for their individual missions. The Catacombs copy Ainle. This is justified, as plotwise, you're supposed to be heading back to Ainle during the day. The Perilous Ruins and the Ruins of Sanctity are supposed to be a part of the same general structure, Hoarfrost Depths is obviously just Hoarfrost Hollow but further underground, and the Fomorian Base is in the same region as the Prairie Entrance, but a ways beyond it. Season 3 subverts this with missions that require you to explore Ben Chenner. Each mission is one part of a sequential series of areas, making up each region of Ben Chenner, and the only reason why the environment is the same each time is because you're going further through the same path each mission.

Barrier Maiden: Tieve is initially set up to be this. After all, she is an oracle maiden from the starting town who greets you after passing out, and is worried about the fact that she has never heard the goddess's voice. However, in Chapter 7, we learn that another oracle by the name of Seanna is supposed to be the chosen maiden, who we rescue from the Absurdly-Spacious Sewer. This is a Double Subversion, as it seems the clergy are working against the prophesy. If they actually achieve the prophesy, they won't be needed any more and will no longer have the power they have now.

Squishy Wizard: All the INT-based characters are this for the most part, but they gain mechanics that keep them from being in this category (Arisha's Mana Drain, Evie's Mana Amber and Mana Shield, and Sylas' regenerative and protective SP auras). Late-game armors also provide significant increases to defense across all characters, including the magic characters.

Schizo Tech: The entire world seems to be in a pre-medieval state, except for quite a number of suspicious examples, below. Possibly justified as A Wizard Did It and/or Magitek. Lampshaded, as the player is given several quests to investigate the various out-of-place technologies. Carbon-belching motors in the Perilous Ruins, Ruins of Sanctity, Fobellow Prairie Entrance, and Fomorian Base. Black powder grenades/bombs are used by both players and multiple Kobold bosses. Some of the Gremlin bosses are armed with weapons like a flamethrower, a stun gun, a chemical sprayer, or even a miniature tornado maker Evie's mana pistol wavers between this and a magic turret. Season 2's Misty Summit/Moonlight Peak is filled with steam-powered lifts and piping, as well as their raid bosses Bark No.1 and the cyborg-like Juggernaut.

Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Fully averted. Lann, Fiona, Karok, Vella, Hurk, Lynn, Arisha, and Sylas all smash, while Evie and Kai both shoot. For added fun, Evie is fully capable of smashing if you choose to take the Sinister Scythe route with her, but Kai must always shoot.

Stupidity Is the Only Option: So, what does the main character do after Gwynn bans him/her from going to Ainle? Why, go there with reckless abandon, of course! You end up arriving just in time to see an early story character get killed because he went on ahead of you. And what happens when Gwynn bans us AGAIN from going to the Prairie? Well, take a wild guess! Luckily, the Prairie incident ends on a much more positive note all around and probably saved the war effort.

Flunky Boss: The game runs rampant with this. A good example being Black Scar in The Fleeing Gnoll King; he's a Lightning Bruiser that will not let up and he comes with a small squad of mooks that are all damage sponges. Finding a way to kill them without getting murdered by Black Scar is no small challenge.

Doomed Hometown: Colhen gets destroyed in Episode 6. It gets repaired before Episode 7 however, and you can still access it in it's undamaged glory when it's under attack according to the story.. Malina gets destroyed after Inquisitor Ulchas is resurrected, and the damage visibly remained up until the arrival of Season 3, Episode 3. Similarly, Rocheste is destroyed during the Season 3 Prologue after Muir rampages through the town, but the damage is not permanent, like Colhen above.

Dual Boss: Several, of the independent-attack variety. A few missions have as many as three very powerful bosses. There are even random dual-mini-bosses on some of the multi-boss missions. Gauntlet missions spawns several bosses at once, and replacement bosses after one is defeated. Season 3, Episode 2 introduces Braha and Ancient Braha, a pair of two gigantic ogres that require the party to split into two teams of four in order to be defeated.

Mirroring Factions: There are a few examples of this throughout the story, with both sides wanting something and war breaking out. One of the main ones is the gnolls you grind on in the first chapter. They were defecting from the other gnolls (who have thrown in with the Fomors you are fighting) and trying to avoid war, but some misunderstanding started one. A lot of characters struggle when they learn this.

The dev team makes full use of the physics engine to render realistic blood splatter effects.

Achieving a critical hit with certain skills can cause temporary blood splatters on your screen, literally Painting the Medium.

Charged Attack
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_589e54d3
comment
Charged Attack: All characters receive "Special Points" (SP) skills which can be used to use powerful attacks caled SP skills. These are of the "Collect" type, and require damaging enemies and stealing their life-force to fill up an SP gauge, either partially or completely. Once the gauge has been filled to a certain level, SP skills become available. Using a SP skill depletes a certain portion of the gauge, requiring it to be re-filled. Evie, Fiona, and Lann also can also aquire skills that give them "Hold" type charged attacks. Evie, when wielding a staff, has "Focus" skills. There are five progressive charge levels, each requiring longer charging times, with different skills available at each level. The time it takes to charge her most powerful skills makes them vary between Difficult, but Awesome and Awesome, but Impractical, depending on the particular Boss, and whether she's in a party or solo. Most of Kai's moveset involves the use of SP skills, resulting in an increased SP gain for him.

Fragile Speedster: Lann starts out as the Glass Cannon version of this, having the highest DPS in the game, but he relies almost entirely on his dodge skill for defense, as he lacks the defensive/escape skills the other characters enjoy. His dodge skill's invincibility frames can make survival easy with practice, but he still remains fairly fragile. With the right skill build, can develop into a Lightning Bruiser at high levels.

Several missions in several regions. Notable mention goes to Prepare for Counterattack in Hoarfrost Hollow, as it is the first Boss Rush mission.

More common as the game progresses, and epitomized in Colru the Golem.

Bribing Your Way to Victory
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_5c17c12f
comment
Bribing Your Way to Victory: Mostly averted during the Beta period, compared to the first game. Use of this trope has substantially increased for the official release. The main example during beta was the "Goddess Grace", which is free only up to level 10, not available through an in-game source, and still the only option for solo players to revive in dungeons. Since then, a number of additional items have been added that provide boosts to player or equipment stats (the former expiring after 30 days). Other items are available which are greatly improved versions of in-game items (such as healing potions), protect equipment from breakage during upgrading/enchanting, or give ability points for improving skills. As of Episode 8, a new item has been released which really plays up this trope: "Blessing Stones". There are 4 types, and they are available mainly through the cash shop, although there are ways to get them in game with much more difficulty. Used for "missions" (aka dungeon crawls), three different types increase your experience point gain, ability point gain, and item drop rate; a fourth increases all three. Though almost all of these things can be gotten by any player, they just have to work a bit harder. The only exceptions are "Goddess Grace" (since you can just keep on paying to revive 'til you win) and the NX cash tokens. Fortunately, the token system was removed.

The Smurfette Principle
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_5d753b19
comment
The Smurfette Principle: Notable aversion: the first three characters released include two female and one male, so there were more female than male characters in the game. Further averted by the fact that the two female characters consisted of a mage who is easily the most powerful character at low levels, and a tank. The release schedule of players has alternated boy-girl, and there are currently the same number of both; with Tanks, DPSers and Rangers/Nukers (much of Evie's magic is ranged attacks, and Kai has some area-of-effect special attacks) in both male and female forms.

Sylas (Hagie in the Korean version): The tenth character, slated to be revealed in KR in July 2015. He is the game's first magic-wielding male character, and is a knife-nut who utilizes magical daggers in the form of a Flechette Storm, reminiscent of another mystical, teenage boy.

comment
Evie's quick evasion skill, magic shield, slow-but-powerful ranged magic attack, and healing ability make her the strongest starting character against the early game's Mighty Glacier bosses. Later, once Lightning Bruiser bosses begin to dominate, the slow casting time of her more powerful skills becomes a major handicap, as does her inability to wear heavy armour when faced with bosses who can destroy half or more of her magic shield in a single blow. She does have some skills to compensate, but they're tricky to use, and cost a huge amount of stamina.

 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_62899967
comment
Griefer: Although the game is designed to prevent most forms of it (you can't attack other players, and Ninja Looting is impossible,) one particularly insidious design oversight is the inclusion of instant death traps that can be activated by monsters or players. In theory, players can activate them to kill the monsters, or their fellow group members who have foolishly run under that spiky ceiling, thinking it's safe now. One type of secondary weapon, small bombs, can also cause harm to players. Only a small amount, but if you're already low on health, they can be... annoying. People will join dungeons and sit there the entire run, sometimes magically appearing at the boss, to grief experience. It's especially aggravating if they press F12 because you know that they're sitting their ass down doing nothing, and/or if you're running a higher level dungeon that you're worried about getting your ass kicked in. It doesn't help much if you're the only person other than them in the party. Certain oaths, like the Timed Run, X times incapacitated or X armor items broken by all party members cause the mission to instantly fail if it occurs. While people rarely try to intentionally fail this, it can be annoying if a player wasn't aware of the oath, especially in timed runs.

As of the Episode 5 update, we have the Irukul raid boss. It's notable for being the first boss where you genuinely NEED a strategy in order to complete the battle. Otherwise, even if you have unlimited revival items, you very possibly won't be able to deal enough damage before the time runs out. Even if you use a strategy an average run takes around half an hour, whereas previous boss battles could be wrapped up in 10-15 minutes.

Anti Poop-Socking
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_71d75417
comment
Anti Poop-Socking: Originally, "silver tokens" were required for all missions outside Perilous Ruins. Players received a very limited supply of "silver tokens" per real-time week, and after running a certain number of missions in one real-time day, the token requirements start increasing. This was partially subverted by the availability of "crimson" and "platinum" tokens in the cash shop, which were used in place of silver tokens, allowing players to continue playing (platinum tokens granting boosts to experience gain and drop rates). The token system was phased out with Karok's release; people with remaining tokens were compensated with NX cash. Some of the higher level Raid missions limit players to a single victory per day. Even low level missions have a max limit to the number of daily runs, but this is so high as to be effectively unlimited for all but the most serious grinders. The ability point system also discourages extended grinding, at least at low levels. The number of ability points received from completing missions is reduced each time the mission is completed — to zero for the Perilous Ruins beginner missions, five for the lowest-level post-beginner missions, and continuing upward as the mission level increases. Early on, players obtain a skill called Meditation, which awards ability points after a certain amount of time. At the starting level, this is 1 point every real-time hour (the time interval can be reduced by levelling the skill, though this could be considered Awesome, but Impractical as ranking it is extremely AP-intensive. Rank A would take a little over a year to pay off.).

You Can't Fight Fate: The dominant theme of the storyline is that you can't change destiny. Trying to do so results in a Cosmic Retcon where the timelines are changed so that your involvement with certain NPCs isn't allowed to happen. Characters who are destined to die, still will even if you try to stop them.

Cosmic Retcon: The ending of season 1 has Keaghan Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence in his vows to protect her from the prophecy coming true. After he leaves though, Morrighan emerges from Tieve, and you're sent back to Colhen. When you go to the Inn and Mercenary outpost, you find the locals treating you as if you're the new recruit who just arrived in town. Seanna shows up as the first oracle to ever grace Colhen's presence, and you're back to your rookie status as a mercenary. Nobody has any memories of Tieve or Keaghan ever existing, but there are still signs like Clodagh and Marrec's old friendship ring that only leaves them feeling confused. You're the only one who remembers anything.

Crutch Character: Before the token system was removed, other players. The beginning dungeons were the only ones that took no tokens, so high level players that had used up their daily allotment and didn't want to buy more would Level Grind in the free ones. This meant that new players would almost always find themselves grouped with extremely high-level ones that would murder everything in sight while they strolled along behind soaking up free experience.

Rainbow Pimp Gear
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_7f15b05c
comment
Rainbow Pimp Gear: Unlike Mabinogi, there is no function for choosing colours for equips during crafting. All colours are generated randomly. There is a dye function that uses in-game currency, but it's also completely random, and gets very expensive to use for higher-level gear. Fortunately, there are limits on available colours for any particular equip, combined with Real Is Brown as noted below, which means you won't end up looking too clownish. As of the Titan expansion, cash shop "dye ampoules" have been added. These provide a semi-random selection of colours, and include far more vibrant colour than the dye shop, partially averting Real Is Brown. One side effect of the brighter colours is that players can now deliberately look seriously clownish.

Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_812ee32b
comment
Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards: A rare inversion. Evie's quick evasion skill, magic shield, slow-but-powerful ranged magic attack, and healing ability make her the strongest starting character against the early game's Mighty Glacier bosses. Later, once Lightning Bruiser bosses begin to dominate, the slow casting time of her more powerful skills becomes a major handicap, as does her inability to wear heavy armour when faced with bosses who can destroy half or more of her magic shield in a single blow. She does have some skills to compensate, but they're tricky to use, and cost a huge amount of stamina. By contrast, defensive characters Fiona and Karok are harder to solo with at low levels, particularly once bosses start using powerful "smash" attacks. Once they've had time to gain and level-up their defense and counter-attack skills, they can stand up to later game bosses much more easily than Evie, and Karok's special attacks can cause massive amounts of damage. Lann and Vella are pretty much the only linear characters in the game.

Conservation of Ninjutsu
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_82f5ced1
comment
Conservation of Ninjutsu: Thoroughly and painfully averted. Even with bosses. On the other hand, the mass attacks mean that enemies can die to friendly fire. The friendly fire actually seems to have some kind of logic system. Mobs of the same species and average size (such as gnolls) will not be able to hurt each other with melee attacks, but ranged attacks can still hurt. Small Ankle Biter mooks like spiders and toads will not hurt one another, but larger enemies can accidentally hurt them. This is entirely averted with bosses, though, which hurt everything smaller than them regardless of species. Bosses in multiple boss missions can also hurt each other, mainly with ranged attacks.

BFS: Hurk's main weapon is a Greatsword, often stylized in the same huge slabs of metal similar to Cloud Strife's Buster Sword or Guts' Dragonslayer. Delia uses a Bastard sword that's literally as long as she is. In her backstory, she befriended Karok and other Giants while pursuing her interest in sword training. The giants gave her the "smallest" sword they had in the village as a parting gift. Some bosses do use them, and drop them when killed, allowing characters to pick them up and play with them. They could even, theoretically, hit other enemies should any still live.

Superboss: The bosses that reside in Niflheim are otherwise even more powerful versions of existing bosses (Blood Lord, Succubus) or entirely new bosses (Zecallion) that cannot be flinched or held down with holding skills. Combine that with a shorter time limit than regular raids, a party limitation of only four party members, and the inability to resurrect (on Hard Mode or higher) or transform (at all), and you have an enemy that is very worthy of the Lv. 80 level restriction. These bosses are optional, however, but drop items that can be used to purchase components for a specially rare type of accessory.

World of Buxom: Zigzagged with the female player characters, NPCs, and human(oid) enemies, all of whom make up a wide bust spectrum. You have the simple ones like Seanna and Tieve, modest kinds in Lynn and Vella, Shayla who shows herself off and will once compliment Esyllt's bust, probably the biggest of any known NPC by that point, and the ones pushing the realm of realism with Epona and Charon. A few armour and clothing sets noticeably enhance female characters' bustlines, most infamously the "Homebound" clothing set, putting them within reach of this trope. Most of these are uncommon, however, as they're essentially low-level gear that can only be acquired with high-level crafting skills or by paying exorbitant amounts of gold in the marketplace.

Psycho Serum
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_85f0963f
comment
Psycho Serum: Two kinds. Night Shade is an herb that can be distilled into a potion to make whoever drinks it Feel No Pain. There's also a more potent variant called Bloody Shade, which some of the bosses eat to significantly upgrade all of their attacks until it wears off. You get to test out the stuff yourself at one point, using it doubles your attack power, letting you plow through enemies like no tomorrow...until you bleed out from the constant hemorrhage it inflicts on you. And that's not the worst of it: in Episode 8 you end up fighting Ingkells and his men, who overdosed on Bloody Shade and mutated into berserk, mindless monsters. The Bloody Shade plant itself also qualifies as nightmarish: it's grown by watering Night Shade with Fomorian blood, looks like a misshapen fetus with one eye, and bursts into a blood-like liquid at the slightest touch. At the end of Episode 10, Keaghan eats Verafim's heart and gains insane amounts of dark powers that lets him fight with Elchulus, but also make him go insane. Though he is brought back to his senses after being defeated by the player character.

Wistful Amnesia
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_860c8ce3
comment
Wistful Amnesia: At the end of Chapter 10, a few extra missions reveal that while no one has any direct memory of Tieve or Keaghan anymore (along with most of the second half of the season 1 storyline), remnants of their existence (such as Brynn's photo of Tieve or an old friendship ring) stir up emotions in the Colhen NPCs. The same thing happens in Season 2. Nobody has any memory of Alyssa or Milo, and you're supposedly sent back in time again to the day when you first became a Coffer Chaser. Questions are raised up when Esyllt finds your original application laying on the floor just after you walked in. The town had been ransacked and damaged just before the climax of season 2, and you notice the town has already been rebuilt. People think it was because of a hurricane or some other storm, but nobody has any memory of it. Finnec jumps at the sight of Solair, and accuses her of being a murder, because he seems to retain memories of when she stabbed Idal and left him for dead. Solair wonders where Idal is, but has no memory that he died. This also becomes a plot point at the end of Season 2, when no one no longer has any memory of Allysse, except for Milo and the player character. The topic of amnesia is revisited once more in Season 3, when a number of NPC's including Marrec, Aodhan, and Riordan all mysteriously disappear, with no one recollecting their presence, despite hints that they existed at one point. The memory loss is finally addressed after the Lord Glas Ghaibhleann battle in Episode 3, where Brynn finally regains his memories of Tieve and Keaghan.

One-Hit Polykill: Heaving a big rock at a cluster of low-level mooks. Nearly all of Evie's magic attacks can do this, and at higher levels, some can take out large groups of more powerful mooks. One of Karok's smash attacks can do this, as can one of Kai's special attacks. Hurk's smash combos apply as well. Delia's "Falling Comet" smash has an area effect. It's also her most powerful attack, so if you can set it up, you're almost guaranteed to outright destroy any monsters in the area.

Bears Are Bad News
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_8d718b9e
comment
Bears Are Bad News: "Dethrone the White Tyrant" is a quest introduced early on in the game, where your foray into Hoarfrost Hollow introduces you to an absolutely massive Polar Bear that could easily demolish a house. "White Tyrant Challenge", an unlockable mission in Hoarfrost Hollow, turns this up to eleven. "Appearance of a Small Bear" in Hoarfrost Depths pits the players against two (albeit smaller) bears, plus a Kobold boss. With the Armies of Colhen update, Stribog has entered the fray in a 24 player raid. Taken to an extreme with the Season 3 update, in which bears become a regular occurrence and have no problem simultaneously destroying your armor and taking down up to a third of your entire health bar.

Wham Episode
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: Episode 3 has the firm real wham moment which the battle appropriately called "Wake Up Call": Ellis dies in a cut-scene just before fighting the final boss. This is a Wham moment for Gwynn, too, who deals with the fallout of this later. Both halves of Episode 8 offer Wham moments, but for different reasons. In part 1, the allies you met in Episode 5.5 have turned into fomors, and are two of the bosses for this area. Part 2 ends with Gwynn dying to protect Keaghan, and both Keaghan and the hero leaving the Royal Army. Considering that Gwynn had been an important recurring character from the start right up to this point, this could be a real blow to the player losing the character.

comment
Our Goblins Are Different: They're as tall as humans (or taller in the case of bosses). They show up first in Ainle as minions of vampires (see below). They're one of two main enemy types on the Fomorian Base, along with Gremlins. In Ainle, they're weak and rather slow. In the Fomorian base, they're fairly quick and tough. Being enslaved by vampires probably weakens you.

Bowdlerized in the North American release. While the blood isn't quite gone, it's turned into a black stream, so as to not quite resemble blood. Although verything else, from the splatters and pools of blood to the wounds on the monsters themselves, remains an untouched crimson.

Combos
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_991912ca
comment
Combos: A majority of characters all have combo attacks, known as "Smashes", which enables a special, high-powered attack to be triggered after a sequence of normal attacks are made. The type and power of the smash attack depends on how many normal attacks are made before triggering the combo. Some of Evie's "focus" magic attacks, and Kai's high-powered ranged attacks, also effectively act as smashes (and are treated as such for game purposes).

Difficult, but Awesome
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb
comment
Difficult, but Awesome: A few examples of this trope exist. Spear-using Lann characters can use the "3960 Hurricane" skill, becoming a whirling dervish of death, and gaining the highest DPS in the game. The skill is highly effective at clearing a room of mooks, but against challenging bosses that aren't easily stunned, the skill is considerably less effective. Evie's high-powered Focus skills, such as Blind Arrow, can deal a great amount of damage at longer range than her lower-level skills or basic attack. However, the long charging time makes it very difficult to use against higher-level Lightning Bruiser bosses, unless in a party with a Tank to draw aggro, or combined with a "trap" skill to hold the boss long enough to set up the skill. It should be noted that the charge time can be reduced to about half of the norm by letting go of the charge button when the bar flashes and pressing it again. You can reach level 3 Focus in about a second and a half that way, then use Ice Spear to freeze whatever is bothering you long enough to charge up Blind Arrow. Any Lynn player has to master the timing for her charged secondary smashes in order to land golden marks on enemies and further increase their overall damage output. But with a little practice and better equipment, it becomes easier to master the timing for her best smashes

Giant Spider: Your tutorial fight is against one of these, and you also fight another big spider in Ruins of Sanctity in order to find a replacement for the original one. After that one, you fight two giant spiders at the same time in the same region. Also as of Episode 5 there is yet another spider boss, the Weeping Queen. She's likely to make you weep without a good party however. Exaggerated in Ep.10 where you get to fight three of them. At the same time.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Played straight. The goddess Morrigan has apparently mandated the genocide of all non-human sentient races, in order to bring about her version of Paradise. This causes quite a bit of angst for several NPCs, including the Oracle of the goddess, who don't understand why she would command such a thing (or even if she really did). Subverted with Karok. He isn't technically human, but is close enough to fight on the same side as the goddess. In Chapter 8, characters we already met, Ingkells and Silberin, along with their followers, changed from humans into fomors after all consuming the juices of the Blood Shade plant

Kai (Kay in the Korean version): Kai is a lightly to heavily armored ranger wielding a bow. He starts with a fast, low-powered, short-range short bow, but can alter it to longer-range, higher-powered, but slower long bow. His arsenal consists of multiple-arrow-firing, rapid-firing, and power-damage skills similar to certain bosses (Jagged Tooth and Singleshot). In the Twilight Desert update, he gained access to his second weapon, Crossgun, which is a sort of a cartridge-loaded repeating crossbow.

Wreaking Havok: This game may be the first MMO to have a fully functioning physics engine (Valve's Source engine, in fact) and is quite proud of the fact. Many of the higher-tier weapons and armor are covered in chains and baubles that swing about as the player moves, and one of the highlights of the combat system is the ability to break certain parts of the environment, then pick up random objects and use them as Improvised Weapons, such as pots or chunks of stone or mid-sized trees. Hilarity Ensues.

Rewarding Vandalism: Nearly everything in the game is destructible, including large parts of the scenery. A large number of crafting items are available primarily or exclusively through smashing up everything around you, as is a small amount of gold. There are even several titles available that depend on smashing a large number of certain items, or picking up a large number of drops from smashed items. And let's not forget the side quests and bonus missions that require you to obtain a certain number of a certain item that can only be found by destroying everything you come across. Those cause headaches for almost everyone that tries to get them.

Unusable Enemy Equipment: A whole hell of a lot of it. Only a tiny handful of enemy equipment drops are actually usable, and those are commonly weaker than similar-level crafted equipment. However, enemy equipment drops are necessary for crafting new player equipment. When an enemy is defeated, their weapon can sometimes be picked up and used as an Improvised Weapon. The weapon will disappear after a while, though.

Inventory Management Puzzle: Partiallly subverted. The sheer variety of loot and secondary items is balanced by expansions to your storage chest and quickslots, gradually unlocked as you progress in the main story. Further storage slots can also be purchased, either temporarily or permanently, through the premium cash shop. However, if you're doing any crafting, the sheer volume of materials needed can quickly fill the available space. As of the Season 2 update, all three storage chests are unlocked to begin with rather than over the story. However, you still need to buy any extra expansions.

Real Is Brown: This is more due to the Source engine than an artistic choice, although being set in a Crapsack World, this may be at least partially deliberate. And, in the case of Rocheste, real is apparently a sort of sickly green. As noted above, the dye options allow for much brighter colours, making some characters look almost cartoonish against the gritty background.

Griping About Gremlins
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_b78ccff7
comment
Griping About Gremlins: One of the major monster types in the Fomorian Base region. Gremlins are far more technologically sophisticated than any other group, including humans, and are most likely the source of the game's Schizo Tech. Bosses in particular, as most of them carry bizarre weapons that can shoot tornadoes, poison gas, streams of fire, and bolts of electricity.

comment
Transformation Is a Free Action: Like Mabinogi, you're given an invulnerability buff during transformation sequences, except extending to roughly two or three seconds after you regain mobility. You can use your transformation to get in a free hit if you activate it near an enemy. It may even kill them.

An Adventurer Is You
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_bcc2f921
comment
An Adventurer Is You: Vindictus has multiple classes, of which, eleven are currently available and ready to be played. Some skill customization is possible, but primarily regarding weapons and armor, with a few exceptions. Each one will branch into one of two or three paths, depending on which skills are emphasized. Similar to the original game, all characters are capable of maxing out all skills available to them, effectively building a limited sort of hybrid character. This takes a considerably larger amount of time and effort, however, and most players concentrate on a more traditional build. Fiona: A versatile warrior type, heavily to very heavily armored, wielding a sword and shield. Essentially a Paladin, but with a strong counterattack replacing healing. Fiona eventually develops the ability to wield a warhammer instead of a sword. Her shield remains extremely important regardless of what weapon you choose. The May 2015 Fiona Revamp has highly boosted her defensive skills, solidifying her status as the tank. Lann (Lethita in the Korean version): A highly agile DPS-oriented character who uses devastating combo attacks. Lightly to heavily armored and wielding two swords or a bifurcated spear. Lann relies more on evasion than armor, and is the fastest character. Common builds let him exploit the high-risk, high-reward experience of a Glass Cannon, or let him gear up for a more durable, but still quite powerful Lightning Bruiser. Evie (Evy in the Korean version): A mage who barely escapes being a Squishy Wizard by virtue of a strong magical shield. Although theoretically capable of heavy armor, building the necessary skills is quite difficult, and she is typically barely to lightly armored. Evie starts out wielding a Magic Staff, and later on has the option to wield a Sinister Scythe. Depending on skill build, typically functions as a long-range, small AoE Nuker and Healer (staff-wielding and emphasis on magic skills), or a short range, wide AoE Nuker (scythe-wielding and emphasis on damage and defense skills). Karok (Kalok in the Korean version): Karok is a large humanoid, who functions as a Tank. He prefers very-heavy armor, and wields a battle pillar. Slow, but capable of absorbing a great deal of damage, and is a badass when it comes to grappling attacks, even putting the moves on bosses! Skill builds can emphasize damage-dealing abilities, or grappling and defense. Word is that some of his flashier skills are rather weak. He can also wield a cestus, which intersperses punches with flashy, ranged blast attacks. Kai (Kay in the Korean version): Kai is a lightly to heavily armored ranger wielding a bow. He starts with a fast, low-powered, short-range short bow, but can alter it to longer-range, higher-powered, but slower long bow. His arsenal consists of multiple-arrow-firing, rapid-firing, and power-damage skills similar to certain bosses (Jagged Tooth and Singleshot). In the Twilight Desert update, he gained access to his second weapon, Crossgun, which is a sort of a cartridge-loaded repeating crossbow. Vella: The Hotter and Sexier dual-wielding girl who can counterattack, and has an attack style reminiscent of a cross between Lann and Fiona, which emphasizes countering enemy attacks in order to deal heavy damage. Although a bit slower and more evasive than Lann, Vella is still a Glass Cannon DPSer. Her secondary weapon is a pair of chain weapons called "Dual Blades", reminiscent of another special weapon. Hurk: He is a heavily-armored Berserker who primarily wields a big whacking two-handed sword. He's more of a DPS tank, as he is able to effectively counter ANY attack launched his way, even from bosses while taking no damage. He eventually gets the ability to continue attacking after running out of stamina, but at the cost of draining his own health. His secondary weapon is a combination longsword and shotgun. Lynn: She's an agile, acrobatic fighter with a battle glaive who utilizes hit-and-run tactics to kill her foes. Known specifically for her "Swift Assassin" technique, which lets her stack glowing marks on her enemies, which she can later detonate for a lot of damage. Does not have a secondary weapon yet. Arisha: She is a Magic Knight who uses a spellsword in addition to a focus (a glowing orb) to fight enemies. She is a more action-oriented mage character compared to Evie, and she uses mana to augment her sword skills and deal damage to enemies, as well as use it to stop time for a little bit to let other players deal heavy damage to a stunned enemy. Currently has no secondary weapon. Sylas (Hagie in the Korean version): The tenth character, slated to be revealed in KR in July 2015. He is the game's first magic-wielding male character, and is a knife-nut who utilizes magical daggers in the form of a Flechette Storm, reminiscent of another mystical, teenage boy. Delia is a former princess who was cast out of her kingdom for wanting to follow her passion of swordfighting over actually ruling the kingdom. She trained in the way of the Bastard Sword after finding herself befriending Korok and other Giants. As a gift to her, they provided the "smallest" sword they had to help her on her travels. Her play style revolves around using the momentum of her giant weapon to gracefully dance around the battlefield while dealing out devastating amounts of damage in the process.

comment
Anti-Hero: Due to the setting's Black-and-Grey Morality, player characters are definitely anti- rather than traditional heroes. At early levels, they appear to be somewhere around Type III, but as the story progresses, it's quite clear that they're much more Type IV, and leaning toward Type V. Most of the NPCs range from Type III (Kirstie) to Type V.

Death of a Thousand Cuts
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_cadf2d2a
comment
Par for the course, considering this is an RPG, but it's worth noting that Lann gets a powerful followup attack whenever he scores one (and he gets to do it again if that attack crits!). This is the main reason Spear Lanns are so powerful - they have a move that boosts their critical chance, and their smashes make heavy use of Death of a Thousand Cuts, so they get to do this a lot.

Not-Actually-Cosmetic Award: Prior to Season 2, most of the titles earned by a hero granted stat boosts, whether or not they are equipped. Seasonal titles, though, were pure bragging rights. After the Season 2 release, all titles appear to have become purely cosmetic. The stat boosts still exist for the season 1 titles though. Early on, cash-shop items like underwear sets and hair also granted stat boosts. These were made purely cosmetic as of the Labyrinth expansion.

Magnet Hands
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_d2e4d95
comment
Magnet Hands: Played straight. Even if your character is "incapacitated", and blown halfway across the map by a particularly strong attack, your weapons will stay with you. In another, more humorous example, if Lann crosses his arms in an idle animation, because his swords are mapped to his hands, the "sheathed" swords will go inside his hip, and come out the other side. A twist comes into play with Karok. He can learn a skill called "Pillar Toss", which allows him to do just that. At that point, he has the option to either keep fighting barehanded or pick it back. Every so often, that pillar will respawn on Karok's location so it doesn't get left on the other end of the map. It's also back in his hands by the next map.

Medal of Dishonor: Many titles invoke the humorous version of this trope. Examples include "Equipment Mutilator" and Gold Hungry. Completing some of the side quests will also earn you these. Bringing enough iced strawberry brandy to Fergus will get you the "Enabler" title. Completing Shayla's side-quests will earn you several of these, such as "Whipped By Shayla." And, of course, there's the "Master Baiter" title mentioned above.

Bait-and-Switch Boss
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_da03a529
comment
Bait-and-Switch Boss: The White Tyrant battle starts off with a small battle against few of the Kobolds you've been fighting in previous missions. Once you defeat them, a group with a big boss-style Kobold sitting around a campfire appears, which looks at first like a typical mini-boss fight (at least half the missions have mini-boss battles). When you approach him, however, the camera zooms in on the group, they give a battle roar, and then a giant bear crashes through the wall and mauls the Kobolds. A very egregious example with the Season 2 story mission, Memory of the Past, in which Iset's faithful guardian and lover Havan immediately takes the stage right after you defeat her. Good luck to you if you used all your restorative items in the first stage of the raid.

Turns Red: Played straight for Thor - the lower his HP goes, the faster his attacks fire off. Most of the other bosses zig-zag between inversion and straight play, as you can knock them down and they'll occasionally hunch over in pain on their own after a certain amount of damage. But some of the later ones have powerful attacks they'll only use once they're down to a certain amount of HP, and you do NOT want to get in the way when they use those moves. Season 3 bosses simply turn red whenever they're about to unleash a very powerful attack, attacks that normally cannot be blocked or dodged, meaning you just have to get out of the way.

Call-Forward: Being a prequel to Mabinogi Fantasy Life, there are quite a few of these, such as blacksmith Fergus. Players of the first game will also recognize Tieve's Oracle dress as the goddess Morrighan's dress. Also, when you fight a Glas Ghaibhleann late-game in Vindictus, its 'break-off' point is its right wing, and when you break it, it rips the wing off to keep it from getting in the way. Attentive players of Mabinogi may have noticed that the summoned Glas Ghaibhleann fought in the Generation 9 storyline has both wings intact, yet the revived one fought way back in the first storyline had a messed-up right wing.

Wolfpack Boss: Most notably, the "Revenge" mission from Perilous Ruins, which involves fighting two bosses, one melee and one ranged, at the same time. Another unlockable mission in that region has you battling Black Breeze and his two buddies, who are Lightning Bruiser werewolves that define That One Boss. Also, the Red Sentinels, a pack of four gnoll archers that attack you at once. They all appear identical, making it difficult to focus on one for any extended amount of time.

Elemental Crafting: While mostly averted in Mabinogi, Vindictus adds a few elements of this. While most equipment is made with realistic materials, magical items and precious metals are used in crafting higher-level gear.

Clothing Damage: Armor can be damaged after taking successive hits, lowering your defense. It can be repaired using a repair kit, and automatically restores after the dungeon is completed, unless the damage is too great.

Jiggle Physics: Female characters are prone to rather exaggerated bouncing, even in heavy armour (it's less noticeable when in heavy armor, though, as the armor itself doesn't jiggle).

April Fools' Day: The April Fools 2011 event involved a Massive Multiplayer Crossover with various Valve series such as Team Fortress 2 and Portal. Event rewards included equips and titles featuring those games. Vindictus has since had several kinds of April Fools' Day events.

comment
The Vamp: Shayla. The only overtly sexual female NPC, and she doesn't hesitate to utilize this to entice the player into doing her bidding. Interestingly, she seems to be the only one who knows from the start that the war is wrong and the "monsters" are really oppressed minorities. Not that she cares, as long as she's making piles of money off it.

comment
Jerkass: Gallagher, mixed with a heavy dose of Small Name, Big Ego. His "quests" generally involve him trying to scam you out of money, or challenging you to impress him and then insisting you still suck when you meet the objectives. As the story progresses, other NPCs start calling Gallagher on his Jerkass behaviour, and effectively start treating him as The Scrappy in-universe, to the point that your choice to become a Dark Knight or a Paladin depends on whether or not you choose to kill him (Dark Knight) or spare him (Paladin) (either way, you don't actually kill him.). Though, as an odd observation, a very early quest to go fishing has him acting entirely out of character, almost as if the dialogue was meant for another NPC. Perhaps he really, really likes fishing.

comment
Gratuitous Princess: One of the playable classes is Delia, a former princess who was cast out of her kingdom because she took more interest in learning combat training instead of learning how to properly rule her country. Each character class in the game is characterized with a backstory that explains how they became an adventurer, but those backgrounds play no further part in the story, and being an exiled princess doesn't factor into Delia's playstyle of smashing things up with a BFS.

Wake-Up Call Boss
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f
comment
Wake-Up Call Boss: If you go into the fight against the Gnoll Chieftain thinking it's going to be like the previous boss fights, you are going to get your ass kicked hard. He is the very first boss you face that makes extensive use of smash attacks, which deal a lot more damage than regular attacks, will lay you out on the ground if you get hit by them, and cannot be blocked by Fiona's shield without a special skill that you get only after defeating him for the first time, which makes staying clear of his giant hammer key to surviving the battle. As of the Episode 5 update, we have the Irukul raid boss. It's notable for being the first boss where you genuinely NEED a strategy in order to complete the battle. Otherwise, even if you have unlimited revival items, you very possibly won't be able to deal enough damage before the time runs out. Even if you use a strategy an average run takes around half an hour, whereas previous boss battles could be wrapped up in 10-15 minutes.

Artistic License – Physics: The Troll boss Taonu has an attack where he swings his mace five times in front of him in the span of a second. A being of his bulk could not possibly pull off a move like that, and even if he could the individual blows would be both unwieldy and have very little force behind them due to a lack of momentum. And yet every one of those five blows hits with ordinary force.

Item Crafting
 Vindictus (Video Game) / int_ff34c05a
comment
Item Crafting: Since gold dropped from enemies is negligible compared to loot drops and quest rewards, the vast majority of weapon and equipment aquisition revolves around giving your hard-earned leather and ores to NPCs. As of the Labyrinth expansion, players can craft their own equipment. The cost (in items and gold) to craft individual pieces is lower than for NPC-crafted gear, but takes a whole lot more of both to improve crafting skills enough to make higher-level gear, making it more expensive in the long run. Player-crafted gear does have the advantage of being higher quality (better durability and stats), so YMMV whether it's worth the effort. As of the Season 2 update, there are now three grades of equipment. Broken equipment drops commonly from most bosses and gives pitiful stats (as well as looking broken), normal equipment is more rarely dropped and gives better stat bonuses, and exquisite equipment is almost always made via crafting, gives the best stat bonuses and is the only type to have set bonuses. Safe to say working on those crafting skills is worth it these days.
