* PermanentlyMissableContent: The "True End" is guilty of this, with requirements such as only defeating certain enemies in certain boss fights, NOT defeating certain enemies in certain boss fights, defeating enemies in boss fights that usually end automatically after a certain period of time, or triggering events in previous areas of the game that are only available for a small window of time, give no indication to the player when they become available, and typically disapear forever if the player continues with the main story without finding them. Parts of this are made easier by a NewGamePlus, but other parts remain even then. This game also introduced us Idea Factory and Compile Heart's ''[[VideoGame/AgarestSenki love]] [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia for]] [[VideoGame/MugenSouls this]] [[VideoGame/BlazingSoulsAccelate trope]].''

* MascotRPG: As a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover (just look at the title), it easily qualifies as one of these - and one of the lucky few that didn't fall victim to NoExportForYou.

* LevelGrinding: You will find yourself doing a ''lot'' of this before traveling between areas.
** Less over time, as the enemies start yielding crap tons of exp. The first area barely gives 12 at best on standard. The second? ''Well over 40''. If you did Level Grind and accumulate TP to upgrade weapons, you have just reached the point of abusing your ability to upgrade stuff.
* LimitBreak
* ManChild: Felicia, via {{Flanderization}}. One of the game's "missions" consists of catching a fish for her to eat because Felicia suddenly throws a tantrum.
* OriginalGeneration: A bunch.

* RankInflation: Your end-of-battle reward multiplier depends on how well you perform and how hard your opponents are. These go as high as "S" to A, B, C, D, E, F, [[FMinusMinus and ''below'' that]].
* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: York in the game cover.
* SmugSnake: Both [[VideoGame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlRevis Reicher]] and [[VideoGame/ArTonelicoMelodyOfElemia Bourd]].
* SpritePolygonMix
* UnstableEquilibrium: The costumes (for [[{{Fanservice}} female characters only]]) give some of your characters godly stat increases, which would take hours of normal item-crafting and LevelGrinding to achieve. Because some of these are available through [[BribingYourWayToVictory paid DLC]], those who shell out the cash can sleepwalk their way through the earlier sections by fielding a pimped-out AmazonBrigade.
** It should be noted that male characters have stat boosting costumes as well, however in this case the "costumes" are simply extra stat boosting equipment. Both genders have "costume" items that alter each characters stats, but only the females actually change their appearance.
* VerbalTic: Prinnies, dood!
** Felicia, ~nya!
* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Yuuto/York and Mikoto. [[spoiler:It's just [[GuideDangIt that you have to do a ton of things]] just to get Mikoto to survive.]]

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: While the game has RandomEncounters, it's possible to trigger one right away by pressing R3 on the map instead of running around in the same spot until one spawns. This makes grinding certain materials and enemies ''much'' faster.

While the game does feature a few playable Capcom characters, it has more in common with ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'' than the ''[[VideoGame/CapcomVsWhatever Capcom vs.]]'' series, as the former is a turn-based strategy RPG.
