* GlassCannon: Chaosmon is one of the best examples of this trope in the game. At max level, it has one of the highest attack stats in the game, but it also has rather low defense stats. Additionally, its ability increases all damage, given ''and'' received, by 30%, meaning that even resisted hits will still hit pretty hard, especially against Chaosmon itself. Players have to be careful using Chaosmon against certain bosses, even if it has a type advantage over them.

* AttackFailureChance: Knightmon's Berserk sword, a 30% accuracy NonDamagingStatusInflictionAttack, whose status is [[OneHitKill Instant Death]].

* BonusBoss:
** Rina Shinomiya (or, more specifically, her [=UlforceV-dramon=], V.V.); beating them allows you to evolve an eligible Digimon into your own [=UlforceV-dramon=] and unlock a series of quests to fight and obtain eligibility to create your own versions of the other Royal Knights as well.
** The DLC offers missions involving fighting the Seven Great Demon Lords; both this campaign and the Royal Knights missions make up the most difficult bosses in the game (far above the actual final boss of the main story).

** When his health dips below 50%, [[BonusBoss Imperialdramon Paladin Mode]] starts to spam Omni Sword, which will most likely lead to a TotalPartyKill for the ill prepared. The cheating part comes in if you try to be clever and kill him before he gets a chance to [[TurnsRed turn red]], as he cannot die before he's used Omni Sword - his health will simply refuse to fall below 1 HP.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: In Chapter 7, you get a case to hunt down someone in Kowloon who stole a rare Digimon medal. Speaking to one of the random hackers near the perpetrator has them reveal that their mother has recently started acting weird because of a Jimiken music video, barely moving or taking care of herself. Shortly after, you find out [[spoiler:Sakura]] has gone missing after the same exact thing happened to her.

** All of the Tentomon [=NPCs=] speak in the KansaiRegionalAccent, referencing [[Anime/DigimonAdventure Koushirou's Tentomon]].

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: At the end of Chapter 18.

The first official trailer can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc4Res4zkJk here]], though it's in unsubtitled Japanese. The game was released in Japan on March 12, 2015. Like ''Re:Digitize'', the game's art is by Suzuhito Yasuda (of ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' fame), while the music is done by Masafumi Takada (of ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' and ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' fame) and the CGI is done by Kamikaze Douga (of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' fame). In addition to its main story mode, the game has a thriving multiplayer component (both ad hoc and online play) which has inspired a [[http://www.digimonworld.org/2015/09/seraphimon-dominates-926-cyber-sleuth.html budding tournament scene]].

* AudienceShift: It's been explicitly stated that, unlike the previous Story games, this game is aimed specifically at adults - thus, the {{Fanservice}}[=-based designs=] and more complex language (for instance, the Japanese release uses kanji without [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furigana furigana]], which are an absolute must for a game aimed at kids). It's notable that this is the first ''Digimon'' franchise game to get a CERO rating of B (age 12 and older). The plot also involves fun things like [[spoiler:trapping a child inside a digital network while his body remains comatose for years, the accompanying trauma for the other kids involved, and one kid willingly throwing away his humanity in exchange for power while visibly going off the deep end in sanity]], falling somewhere between ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' and ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' levels of things that most definitely would ''not'' belong in a kids' game.

* LighterAndSofter: This game manages to be both DarkerAndEdgier and this -- it's no cakewalk but it's also no ''Anime/Digimon Tamers'', being around as dark as you would expect with a standard JRPG. It tells when the villains are nowhere near as heinous as what is usually presented for Digimon standards and the GreaterScopeVillain [[spoiler:is a WelllIntentionedExtremist.]]

* LighterAndSofter: Believe it or not, but this game manages to be significantly brighter than most media in the Digimon franchise could be -- and it's marketed to an older audience as opposed to be for children. It tells when the villains are nowhere near as heinous as what is usually presented for Digimon standards and the GreaterScopeVillain [[spoiler:is a WelllIntentionedExtremist.]]

** Upon finding out that a guy is stalking a woman, one of the possible responses is "Film/{{Stalker}} by Creator/AndreiTarkovsky".

* {{Gainaxing}}: Rie is the only character that noticeably does this, what with her being a [[TheVamp villainous]] MsFanservice with a sizeable chest.

** Several of the otaku [=NPCs=] recreate notable poses from ''Franchise/JojosBizarreAdventure''. There's also [=BanchoLeomon=], who is a walking pastiche of [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Jotaro Kujo]].

* AbsoluteCleavage:
** Kyoko has her shirt mostly unbuttoned, exposing her ample cleavage and the fact that she isn't wearing a bra.
** Nokia's dress has a plunging neckline that goes below the bottom of her breasts, but her bra and more modest chest size make this less apparent.
** Rina Shinomiya from ''Re:Digitize: Decode'' also has her hoodie mostly unzipped, completely exposing her chest, but is wearing a bra underneath.

* GoodIsNotNice:
** In the "Two Faces" case, Angemon hires you to bring a Devimon before it. However, Devimon doesn't want to go. Angemon does not take this kindly, and starts attacking you instead. Even after your Digimon beat some sense into it, the Angemon just flies away while cursing Devimon for some nebulous misbehaviour that may or may not have actually happened.

* LastChanceHitPoint: SafetyGuard grants this in the form of a StatusBuff. When the affected Digimon is hit by lethal damage or a OneHitKill effect, its HP goes to 1 and the buff is removed. Status Barrier needs to be applied again to survive any more lethal hits. The buff still works even if the Digimon was already at one HP.

** [[http://wikimon.net/File:Khaosmon_re.jpg Chaosmon]], a Digimon later added to the game in a patch,[[note]]But debuted much earlier than this game.[[/note]] has a similar motif to Omnimon nearly taken UpToEleven. As it's the fusion of [=BanchouLeomon=] and [=Darkdramon=], it also has its arms take the appearance of its component parts. Unlike Omnimon, who has a knight motif, Chaosmon's main body appears more aristocratic, resembling a somewhat sinister, long, black-and-white tailcoat, adding more to the duality. It even sports heterochromia, with one eye being bright blue (like [=BanchouLeomon's=]) and one light-gray.

** Each of the seven Demon Lords has at least one. Taken UpToEleven with Lucemon, who after going Falldown Mode has ''every'' move other than than his signature moves be SecretAIMoves, including [[AllYourPowersCombined several of the other Demon Lord's]].

* VendorTrash: Sometimes jewel items (e.g. Pearls, Saphires, Diamonds, etc.) will drop in battles. These have no use other than selling them to shops for loads of money.

** Several of the otaku [=NPCs=] recreate notable poses from ''Franchise/JojosBizarreAdventure''.

* DiscOneNuke: Lucemon. While getting a Tokomon to Ability 80 is tedious, you can Digivolve him at level 30, the lowest of the Demon Lords, and child's play to achieve quickly with the help of a couple of [=PlatinumSukamons=]. While it's offset slightly by his huge memory cost (14, which is in the realm of an Ultimate whereas Lucemon is a Rookie), Lucemon can pretty much solo his way through anything early-game with nothing but his Grand Cross attack anyway. If you are playing on NewGamePlus or the Complete Edition and have encountered Lucemon before, then he can be gotten even easier by simply getting Angemon and then De-Digivolving him into Lucemon.
