Line 1: {{work}} [[File:radiatastories_4507.jpg\|~~frame~~thumb\|300px]] '''''Radiata Stories''''' is a [[Role -Playing Game\|role-playing game]] developed by [[~~Tri Ace\|~~tri-Ace]] and published by [[Square Enix]] for the [[PlayStation 2]]. The game is notable for its large number of distinct NPCs, each of whom have their own lives, lifestyles, jobs, personalities, homes, dialogues, and schedules. It makes for a much more realistic experience than the standard RPG towns populated with [[You All Look Familiar\|eerily identical cookie cutter residents]] who [[Welcome to Corneria\|say the same things ad inifinitum]], though the game is limited by the hardware into making the characters [[Groundhog Day Loop\|repeat the same list of activities every day, with a few exceptions.]] Furthering the theme of realism, the main character, [[The Fool\|Jack]], can interact with most objects in the game, [[Violence Really Is the Answer\|mostly by kicking them]] - doing so to furniture and other inanimate objects, for example, will occasionally [[Rewarding Vandalism\|turn up items or money]], while NPCs will [[Duel to the Death\|fight Jack in a duel]]. This being [[The Ditz\|Jack's]] primary method of interacting with everything and everyone he encounters would normally seem out of place, but it fits quite well with his [[Idiot Hero\|personality]]. Line 21: Not to be confused with ''[[Radiant Historia]]'', a similarly-named game that inherited a large portion of ''Radiata'''s production team. {{tropelist}} ~~-------~~ ~~This game provides examples of the following:~~ * [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: The Path of the Spider, a series of interconnecting tunnels that forms the sewage system beneath Radiata. * [[Aerith and Bob]]: Quite an extensive example, in fact; the title contains rather plain names, like Jack, Jill, Nick, and Lily; to somewhat uncommon names, such as Iris, Adina, Leona, and Santos; to downright bizarre names such as Zida, Few, Chatt, and Zeranium. All of these seem to have no racial or gender boundaries, as both humans and non-humans, males and females alike, exhibit this vast range. Line 63 ⟶ 60: ** The very first one is lampshaded by Leonard: {{quote\|(Leonard explains how he and Jack are sharing the stinky, dirty Trainee's Room) ''Jack'' (camera spinning around him): [[Big No\|NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!]]~~<br />~~ ''Leonard'' (''[[Beat]]''): [[Lampshade Hanging\|When you're done with the death wails, come on in.]]~~<br />~~ ''Jack'' (quietly): Fine... }} * [[Bifauxnen]]: Her priest robes might give it away, but one will probably not realize Vitas is a girl if crossing her path at night. Line 97 ⟶ 94: * [[Epic Flail]]: Dynas, {{spoiler\|Gawain}}. * [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Felix. [[Overly Long Gag\|Notice a pattern here?]] * [[Evil Plan]]: As with [[Big Bad]], this trope is also subverted as there is no one villain's plot that encompasses the whole game. Its more all the BB candidates [[~~Plan\|plans~~plan]]s clash until only one left is to finish their own. * [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: Fire Mountain, as well as the attack descriptions for the Vareth Institute's various staffs. * [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Gerald. Line 120 ⟶ 117: * [[Hot Shounen Mom]]: Rynka. * [[Hot Witch]]: Morgan. * [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~the Real Monsters]]: The whole reason the light elves and many of the other races feel hatred and distrust toward humans is because they, from the non-humans' point of view, are considered rather selfish, evil beings who are ruining the balance of the world. ** To be fair, they're not entirely wrong {{spoiler\|on that last bit, about the balance and all that.}} * [[Humans Are Special]]: {{spoiler\|1=Lord Lucien/Aphelion believes so. Despite the fact that the cosmic balance of the world requires the destruction of humanity, every time the dragons strike them down they manage to rebuild. He's sick of a system blatantly in favor of every race but one, and is willing to kill his fellow dragons to get rid of it.}} Line 200 ⟶ 197: {{reflist}} [[Category:Eastern RPG]] [[Category:Radiata Stories]]▼ [[Category:Video Game]] ▲[[Category:~~Radiata Stories~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
