Riviera: The Promised Land is a console role-playing game originally produced in 2002 by Sting Entertainment for WonderSwan Color and later introduced to Nintendo's Game Boy Advance in 2004, which Atlus USA released in North America in 2005. An enhanced remake was released for the PlayStation Portable in November 2006 and was released in July 2007 in North America by Atlus USA. Riviera: The Promised Land became a sleeper hit because of its twist to the RPG standard.

The player takes the role of Ein, a Grim Angel, who must battle against demons as well as antagonistic Grim Angels to seal away the four fountainheads of evil known as the Accursed. He is accompanied by four heroines-Fia, Lina, Serene and Cierra-as well as his cat-like familiar Rose. Riviera also contains dating sim elements, as the hero can achieve multiple endings with the supporting characters through decisions made throughout the game. The use of voice acting is notable; while not extensive, Riviera goes beyond most other Game Boy Advance titles in amount. The game also features CG and hand-drawn pictures.

Secrets

Bathing Scenes
In the game there are two hidden bathing scenes.

In chapter 3, near the end, have Lina and Fia pick up the Feather. When you come back to Elendia, talk to the fairy inside Lina's & Fia's place to learn their whereabouts. Go to Undine Spring. Head to the next screen (don't talk to the fairy or it's going to mess up). Enjoy!

In chapter 4, in the middle of the chapter, there will be some kind of bush. Examine it and pick it up. It's Mint. Back to Elendia, talk to the fairy inside Lina's and Fia's place. Go to the Undine Spring. A golem will be guarding the place. Successfully destroy it and you will enjoy the last scene.

Fanelia Beam
The Fanelia is a one-time use item that does 999 damage for 8 consecutive hits and is the strongest weapon in the game. It can only be found after stage 5 or 6. After being transferred back to Elendia, go to Undine spring and use the look option to examine the ground. It will give the player the option of digging. Dig the ground 5 times and you will find the Fanelia, which can be used to fire the Fanelia Beam.

Longinus
The Longinus is the second most powerful weapon in the game. To get it, you must S-rank Seth-Rah in a playthrough, then on the next playthrough, in Chapter 1, you will find the Longinus instead of the Rosier stuck in the ground.

Here's the game's ending, the epilogue with Fia:
