TomGuycott's General Trivia
#5
A bit more of Actraiser 2 trivia:

The names of the various locations throughout the game often have some sort of symbolic or ironic implications when related which of the seven sins the demons influencing them represent.

Sloth weakens the towns of Diligence and Industen (Industry or Industrious).

The land of Devote was dragged underwater by its queen, who became envious of all beautiful things. The idea of devoting oneself to another contrasts being jealous of them.

Temponia (Temperance) and Modero (Moderation) are infected by the plague of Gluttony. Temponia was known for its extravagant amount of food, but after the invasion of demons they had to survive with what little they had left.

Favorian (Favor) and Justania (Justice) were once friendly nations, but after being infected by the wrath instilled by the demon Fury, Justania waged war on their neighbors.

The king of the city of Lovacous had his mind filled with the demon Deception, who has a lot of symbolism of the sin of Lust. The fact that Love remains in the name of the city suggests this is still heavily implied.

The people of Leon were forced into a prison by the king of Stormrook. The prison was called Gratis, which means "for free", ironic given the nature of a prison and also playing on the greed of the king when infected by the demon.

Lastly, the city of Humbleton, an advanced civilization, is engaged in a plan to build a tower to reach the Master's castle. They have no faith in god, and thus the angels cannot read their minds. Their intention is to become Masters themselves, and they do battle with the Master at their Tower of Souls (or Tower of Babel in the Japanese version).
