Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Prince of Persia is another Continuity Reboot for the action-adventure and platforming Prince of Persia series, developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released in the United States on December 2, 2008 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and on December 9, 2008 for Microsoft Windows. It was later released on March 24, 2009 for Mac OS X via the Cider engine.The game is set in ancient Persia, with the eponymous Prince as the main character. He is accompanied by a woman named Elika, whom he met after a large sandstorm diverted him from his course and he ended up in a mysterious land. Players traverse many different environments using his acrobatic abilities to scale walls and even crawl on the ceilings. Throughout the journey, players combat various enemies as they attempt to cleanse the land of corruption. The game's storyline and setting borrowed several aspects from Zoroastrianism, the worlds oldest monotheistic religion.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The next chapter is a downloadable expansion simply titled Epilogue, released on March 5, 2009, exclusively on consoles. A spin-off DS game, Prince of Persia: The Fallen King was released on Dec 2, 2008. Penny Arcade made a thirty-page comic about the origin of the Hunter.There has been no word on a true sequel to the game or any continuation of the franchise with Ubisoft mostly focusing on Assassin's Creed, Watch_Dogs, and more additions to the Far Cry series, with Ubisoft Montreal's CEO saying that the franchise was being "paused".note Altough Ubisoft has said they are considering next-gen entries into multiple franchises, including Prince of Persia. |

A Sinister Clue |
| | Prince of Persia (2008) (Video Game) / int_127ebb74 |
comment |
A Sinister Clue: Kinda. Looking from the temple, the Corrupted get more evil as you move from right to left. The right-most Grounds are guarded by the Warrior, a Tragic Monster and the only Corrupted Elika feels sympathy for. Moving left, the Concubine sold her soul in a moment of weakness but is too smug to be sympathetic. The Alchemist betrayed and tortured his own people but served Ahriman because he feared death, which is somewhat understandable. The left-most is the Hunter, the most decadent of the Corrupted with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He sold his soul simply so he could murder humans. |

Rescue Romance: Played with. The Prince meets Elika as she's running away from men sent by her father, but it's implied that she would have gotten along just fine without him. Played a bit straighter when Elika saves the Prince from a collapsing bridge, but it's still a while before they begin to warm up to each other. |

Pyrrhic Villainy: A bit trickier to see, but it's there. It is implied in the DLC that Elika is somehow crucial to defeating Ahriman for real. By bringing her back to life, Ahriman has secured his release, but it will ultimately bring about his downfall. |

Now, Where Was I Going Again?: The game's map screen helpfully shows you which Fertile Grounds are corrupted, which are corrupted but you have the powers to access, and which have been cleansed. Additionally, you can press a button at any time for Elika to send a ball of light to your selected destination for you to follow. |

Protagonist Without a Past: The Prince. He tells Elika as much when she starts questioning him. Hell, the game manual even backs him up on this one. If Elika's persistent enough (ie, if the player keeps hitting that Snark Button) he does reveal that when he was young both of his parents died for someone else's cause, leaving him with an uncle. He's been all over the world and met all kinds of people, but never got strongly attached to anyone. He robs graves and is always getting into trouble, and he's repeatedly gotten his hands on and subsequently lost a great deal of treasure. Where he comes from, rather than inheriting power, people get it by killing each other or bribing their way into it. |

Mythology Gag: The game opens with The Prince calling for Farah (the name of the Love Interest from the Sands of Times trilogy). Later when asked if Farah is his girlfriend, he reveals it to be the name of his donkey. In one of the featurette videos, producer Ben Mattes mentions that the Prince doesn't "smolder with generic rage". |

No Flow in CGI: Averted. There's always a slight wind blowing, and everyone's clothes react to it, even in different ways. The Prince's long scarf and bearskin cape billow dramatically, while Elika's blouse only moves a little. Unfortunately played straight when it comes to hair, though. Particularly Elika's father with his long dreadlocks. |

Benevolent Architecture: An uncanny amount of the scenery is implausibly handy for jumping/climbing/hanging/swinging/free-running around on. Which is lucky, since there's a distinct imbalance in the ratios of really-high-places to staircases/ladders/jetpacks, smooth stable floors vs. fatal drops etc. |

Only Smart People May Pass: The game contains several puzzles. The most notable example of this trope, however, doesn't appear to be one at first. In the final encounter with the Concubine, she creates five illusory copies of Elika, and you must find the real one. However, running into or attacking the six one-by-one reveals that all of them are illusions. How do you uncover the real Elika? By throwing yourself off the tower, of course, prompting her to save you, as always. |

Downer Ending |

comment |
Downer Ending: The Prince releases Ahriman in order to revive Elika. The Prince calmly walks away as Ahriman's darkness engulfs the land. Somewhat subverted in the Epilogue, where it's revealed that the Prince revived Elika because her power is the only thing that can defeat Ahriman for good; if she'd stayed dead, it would have just been a waiting game until Ahriman's seal broke and he took over the land without resistance. Then it's played straight again when Elika leaves the Prince high and dry to go look for her people, and it's implied that Ahriman attacks him shortly after. The DS game The Fallen King, which could be considered a sequel to both the main 2008 game and Epilogue, at least leaves some hope for a happy ending. It has The Prince go after the king of the City of New Dawn in an attempt to summon Ormazd, and gains a temporary ally, Zal, the "good half" of the king, who ends up dying after killing his other half. The Prince's other new ally, the Ancestor, leaves a message of hope for the Prince, promising that, in time, an inner power would be revealed and new ally would be found. |

Black and Grey Morality: Ahriman is definitely evil, but his brother/counterpart, Ormazd, despite being the god of light is lacking in admirable qualities and at best is a Neglectful Precursor. This may be justified in that being the god of light, and IRL the equivalent of God in Zoroastrianism, he isn't the kind of god that intervenes much in the world affairs... Not personally anyway. |

Badass Normal: Compared to creatures twisted by evil and given the power to use corruption as a weapon, a princess who can wield magical light, and a vengeful god who wants to unleash misery and suffering upon the world in a never-ending reign of darkness, the Prince has a sword and a clawed gauntlet. And he's kicking ass. |

Evil Tower of Ominousness: There are plenty of towers in the game, but only a few qualify for this. The Martyrs' Tower, which the Prince speculates is from the 'ominous and forbidding' school of architecture, is where the Hunter strung up the corpses of those he caught. The Alchemist's lair is a hodgepodge affair held up by balloons with an observatory located at the very top. |

The Only Two: The Prince and Elika vs a God of Evil, his four lieutenants, and an endless horde of mooks. Lampshaded by the Prince: "You know, I wish some more good guys would show up." Partially justified; when the Prince talks about spreading the word about Ahriman to get more people to come and keep him trapped, Elika points out that the stories would also bring forth people who want to sell their souls to him. It's better if he remains a secret to the world at large. |

Nominal Importance: Averted. Like in most games in the series, The Prince is never named. He's never even given a nickname. "The Prince" is just a placeholder based on the title. Especially notable in this game as he's the only character of any importance who doesn't have a name (Elika, Ormazd, Ahriman) or nickname (The Mourning King, the Hunter, the Concubine, the Warrior, the Alchemist). |

Guide Dang It! |
| | Prince of Persia (2008) (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 |
comment |
Guide Dang It!: Plenty. Finding all the Light Seeds, for one. If you want the "Precious Time" achievement, you have to hold completely still after Elika dies. Do not touch any buttons, not even ones that don't make the Prince move. Hell, set down the controller, just to be safe. After you seal the evil back into the can, you get to walk around while credits roll, trigger a cutscene, and then find yourself trapped in a relatively small area of the game and expected to somehow figure out what you're supposed to do next - let the sealed evil out of the can you've just spent the entire game going to great lengths to seal him back into - with only a cryptic camera shot that could be showing off the restored landscape, and a flashback sequence explaining one of the game's unanswered questions as hints... A third is the game never explaining that you can press the jump button while on vines to have the Prince speed up his climbing. This makes going over them much less arduous, as vines often slow the normally quick traversal down to a literal crawl without this move. |

Elika herself thinks she can't, and that Ahriman's playing him for a fool.. |

Reverse Grip: The Prince will shift his scimitar from a standard saber grip to this when going into a defensive stance. His sword is actually subtly designed for switching between grips; there's a hole in the hilt for him to stick his index finger in to act as an axle when spinning, and the hilt extends up past the crossguard for him to grab without slicing his hand open on the blade. |

Flaw Exploitation: Whenever the Prince and Elika fight the Warrior, she tries to appeal to the Warrior's honor to get him to reject Ahriman, often against the Prince's wishes. The Warrior finally accepts her offers in his dying moments. |

comment |
Foreshadowing: The Prince refers to both the war his parents died in and his fight against Ahriman as "someone else's war", in addition to expressing doubt that someone could fight for something other than themselves. When Elika gives up her life to re-seal Ahriman, the Prince releases Ahriman again to resurrect her. There are also several hints to Elika's earlier death, which is in itself more foreshadowing the above spoiler. Also: Sharp listeners would have realized Elika was going to perform a Heroic Sacrifice. |

Pragmatic Hero: Ahriman encourages the Prince to be this in the end. Since his prison won't last forever, Elika's death buys only years, maybe decades at most, until he's free, so he may as well restore her stolen life at the cost of Ahriman getting out now. |

Sadistic Choice: The game gives the Prince a pretty hefty one: keep Ahriman trapped and the world safe (for the short time it takes for Ahriman to bust out of the weakened prison), or undo everything he's fought for and release Ahriman to destroy the world in order to bring Elika back from the dead so that she can find a way to put Ahriman back in the seal for good. And because, of course, by then we have completely fallen for her. |

The Dulcinea Effect: Discussed and subverted. At the end, the Prince resurrects Elika partially because it's the only way to defeat Ahriman for good, but also partially because he's fallen for her. But to be fair, he did just spend a good chunk of time fighting the forces of world-ending darkness with her, which tends to bring people together. |

Shout-Out: You can unlock the Sands Of Time Prince's outfit, as well as Altair's (from Assassin's Creed) outfit. Similarly, Elika can be dressed as either Farah from the Sands of Time trilogy or as Jade from Beyond Good & Evil. You also get achievements for standing on the beam on the prow of an airship, and standing on a beam jutting out from a building that provides a spectacular view. The game contains a total of one thousand and one light seeds. There are also loads of references to ICO and especially Shadow Of The Colossus (the pedestal where the Prince places Elika's body on is a direct lift, as is the overall plot of making a pact with the devil to save the one you love). |

Charles Atlas Superpower: All the incarnations of the Prince are inhumanly agile. The Prince in this game might take the cake, however. The boss fights make it clear that he is more than strong enough to block and parry the blows of a massive stone behemoth, that he's physically stronger than the rest of the Corrupted (who are larger than him and empowered with darkness), and that his head is harder than the Mourning King's helmet. He can generally throw the Corrupted in the air one-handed, as well. |

Armor-Piercing Slap: Subverted. Elika tries to pull one on the Prince at the start of the Epilogue DLC, but it doesn't help either of them see the other's point of view. |

Mundane Made Awesome: The Prince describes mountain ice with more than a little awe in his voice and borderline Purple Prose. Given that he's from Persia, he probably barely sees ice. |

Developer's Foresight |
| | Prince of Persia (2008) (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 |
comment |
Developers' Foresight: The Prince and Elika have special animations if Elika lands on the Prince. There are unique conversation options available for the Prince and Elika during pretty much every single section of the game, even before Ahriman is released, and many of them pertain specifically to the events happening right then. For example, if you try to talk to Elika while climbing a collapsing tower, she'll yell at you to keep going instead of standing around. Although the sword and gauntlet have no purpose when the Prince is standing on a flat surface, pressing the attack button will make the Prince wiggle the sword a little, while pressing the gauntlet button will make the Prince adjust his gauntlet so it's more snug. |

Clothing Damage: Elika's lacy blouse gets slightly more torn each time the plot advances, and it's subtle enough that the player may not even notice. This is also a Fanservice Mythology Gag, because a player who remembers the Prince's Shirtless Scene from Sands of Time may expect Elika to repeat it. (She doesn't.) |

Video Game Cruelty Potential: Throw the Prince down pits as many times as you like! And infinitely, because Elika will always save him, although you will miss out on an achievement if you do this too much. Some of the combat moves are rather nasty, too - throwing an enemy into the air, juggling them with your sword, grabbing them out of the air and smashing them to the ground, shoving them through pillars, hurling them off ledges... |

Cutscene Power to the Max: The Prince is able to grab hold of specific ledges and bars to move around the area.

This style was actually moved into Assassin's Creed made by the same people, where you can literally grab onto almost anything. |
