Voice of Cards is a series of Japanese Role Playing Games developed by Alim and published by Square Enix. The series notably features involvement from much of the key staff behind the Drakengard series, including executive director Yosuke Saito, creative director Taro Yoko, composer Keiichi Okabe, and character designer Kimihiko Fujisaka. All games are currently available on Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.Voice of Cards takes heavy inspiration from Tabletop RPG style games while intertwining it with a classic JRPG feel and experience. The story of each game is hosted by a Game Master (the titular "voice"), who guides the player, assigned the role of the story's main character, through their journey (a Framing Device, so to speak). The playable game world, characters, items, and more are depicted as the exquisitely detailed cards that make up the visual style of the game's presentation.The Voice of Cards series currently has three installments: | |

Cherry Tapping | |
| Voice of Cards (Video Game) / int_10b6b5f7 | comment |
Cherry Tapping: Damage is calculated by subtracting the defender's Defense stat from the attacker's Attack stat, plus 1. That "plus 1" allows you to always deal at least 1 damage on any given hit regardless of how high both characters' stats are. | |

Applied Phlebotinum | |
| Voice of Cards (Video Game) / int_116a941b | comment |
Applied Phlebotinum: Dragontear, which is literally the tears of the titular Dragon. In its most distilled form it acts as a curative that can heal almost all mortal illnesses and wounds, but in its base form it has extremely powerful magical properties, which includes allowing any lesser creature that ingests it to transform into anything they desire. In this case, Sherwyn uses it to go One-Winged Angel and morph into a massive, all-powerful dragon of his own. | |

Fake Longevity | |
| Voice of Cards (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: If you want 100% Completion recorded on a single save file, you need to play through the entire game four times. This is because there are four endings, and each ending unlocks flipside stories and Ending Cards that are unique to each ending and are only recorded to your file on a New Game Plus. The game gives you the Evilsbane Ring to ward off random encounters and carries over stats and gear to vastly speed up subsequent playthroughs, but it remains a massive chore. | |

| Voice of Cards (Video Game) / int_1a2dc1fd | comment |
Mission-Pack Sequel: All games in the series essentially recycle the same common elements. The only things that change are the story, card artworks and some mechanics. This is likely justified considering it was originally intended to be an episodic mobile game. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Voice of Cards (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Instead of "branches" like other Yoko Taro games, there are four endings that close out the story: The Save Melanie ending. Ash uses the last drop of Dragontear to restore Melanie back into a human. However, she's reasonably upset that Ash chose to save her over his sister. The epilogue mentions that she never forgives him for it and becomes a Cool Big Sis towards Mar. Meanwhile, the Isle of Bliss quickly plunges into civil war with the Ivory Order no longer being able to obtain Dragontears. The Save Mar ending. Mar is restored to her human form, but she struggles to speak like one due to spending most of her life as a monster. Melanie, on the other hand, can no longer speak herself. Both of them and Ash continue traveling together despite the civil war that erupts much like the previous ending. The Save the Dragon ending. Instead of choosing Melanie or Mar, Ash returns to the volcano where the Dragon died and uses the Dragontear to bring him back. Realizing that Ash tossed aside both his sister and his friend just to resurrect him, the Dragon scolds him before leaving to parts unknown. Afterwards, Ash drags along Mar and Melanie and begins developing a reputation as a "monster whisperer", but he remains adamant in his search for a way to return the two of them back to normal. And then, of course, there's that civil war mentioned earlier. The Save Everyone ending, which you can only get by collecting all ten of the mysterious cards before the final boss. Ash not only turns Mar and Melanie back into their human forms, but he also brings back the Dragon, who agrees to produce more Dragontears on the condition that it be done humanely. When the news breaks out that the Dragon was being tortured to create the medicine the Isle is dependent upon, Queen Nilla denounces the Ivory Order. Even Wynifred, Berwyn and Heddwyn end up leaving the Ivory Order to start a new, more ethical organization. Ridis and Bruno return to their normal lives. Meanwhile, Ash, Mar and Melanie were offered to serve in Queen Nilla's court, but they declined and decided to spend their days being bounty hunters. | |

Golden Ending: If the player has collected the ten Mysterious Cards, they can choose to wish for "everything" during the Last-Second Ending Choice. This causes a miracle to occur, restoring both Melanie and Mar to human form and resurrecting the Dragon. The heroes collect the reward and use it to pay off Ridis's debt, Queen Nilla seizes control of medicine production from the Ivory Order and promises to ensure the process is humane, the Dragon agrees to continue producing Dragontear as long as it is allowed to live in peace, and the Trio leave the Ivory Order to form their own organization dedicated to helping the needy. As for the heroes, the protagonist, Melanie, and Mar decline knighthood under Queen Nilla in favor of future bounty-hunting endeavors. | |

Advertised Extra | |
| Voice of Cards (Video Game) / int_4b0ef86e | comment |
Advertised Extra: Despite the claims from Square Enix that it is a card-based RPG, the cards themselves are rather inconsequential to the game outside of being the method of presentation. Virtually nothing about the game except the Game Parlor uses actual card game mechanics and it plays like a traditional turn-based RPG that happens to include dice rolling at certain points. | |

Tested on Humans: It's revealed that the Ivory Order secretly tests their experimental, Dragontear-derived medicines on human test subjects located in a hidden village called the Village of the Sick. Many of these test subjects have been driven insane and developed a crippling addiction to the medicines, and it's been shown that anyone who attempts to escape is recaptured and forced to imbibe dangerously experimental medicine. The protagonist's family is revealed to have resided in the Village of the Sick; a failed escape attempt caused the medicine to kill his parents, his twin sister Mar was was turned into a monster due to her body being unable to accept the medicine, and the protagonist himself suffered Trauma-Induced Amnesia from the medicine's side effects. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
| Voice of Cards (Video Game) / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: The protagonist faces one at the end of the game: use the last Dragontear to restore either his twin sister or his close ally who sacrificed everything, rendering the other doomed and the world's supply of Dragontear lost, or revive the Dragon and doom both of his closest allies. Luckily, if the requirements are met, he can Take a Third Option and wish for a happy ending. | |

Canon Name: Much like in the first game, the protagonist can be named whatever the player wants, but canonically, his name is Barren. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Voice of Cards (Video Game) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: As far as a Yoko Taro plot goes, Voice of Cards is noticeably less dark and nihilistic than most of his other works. It does get pretty dark during the last 1/3rd of the game, but the game's true ending is unambiguously happy, which can't be said for most of his other games. | |

Walking Shirtless Scene | |
| Voice of Cards (Video Game) / int_d4bb4e51 | comment |
Walking Shirtless Scene: The demo features a fisherman as a plot-important NPC. Said fisherman is absolutely ripped and is dressed solely in a breastplate that only covers the neck down to his upper chest, a codpiece, and boots. The description of him given by the Game Master on his first appearance clearly makes it sound like Wynifred is Eating the Eye Candy. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Voice of Cards (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: During the escape sequence in the Volcano, the game warns you that not escaping in time will result in a Non-Standard Game Over. It also helpfully suggests that you make a backup save (since saving and autosaving are disabled during the escape sequence) and allows you to do so right before the start of the event. | |

Mercy Kill | |

The Dragon reveals during the climax of the Volcano dungeon that it is being kept alive and tortured by humans who use its tears to create the medicine that is commonly used across the world, and asks that the heroes Mercy Kill it to end its suffering despite the potential ramifications. | |

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood | |
| Voice of Cards (Video Game) / int_f48d0f54 | comment |
Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: The Dragon is far from evil; in fact, it's actually the victim in this scenario. While it does cause catastrophic damage wherever it goes, this damage is largely accidental. The problem is that it is being held captive by the Ivory Order and is fleeing its island and causing trouble to attract the attention of adventurers strong enough to Mercy Kill it. | |

Railroading: The GM will refuse to let you progress without bringing a Torch to the first dungeon. If you attempt to do so anyway, the game and the GM will warn you repeatedly that you need to bring a Torch; take too many steps into the dungeon, and the game will force the party out of the dungeon, whereupon the GM instructs you to go to Thriceton and get a Torch. | |

| Voice of Cards (Video Game) / int_f8600b | comment |
The Save Melanie ending. Ash uses the last drop of Dragontear to restore Melanie back into a human. However, she's reasonably upset that Ash chose to save her over his sister. The epilogue mentions that she never forgives him for it and becomes a Cool Big Sis towards Mar. Meanwhile, the Isle of Bliss quickly plunges into civil war with the Ivory Order no longer being able to obtain Dragontears. | |
