Added DiffLines:

* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Despite the numerous risque situations that Fried winds up in with both the girls in his Suppression Team and all of the monster girls he defeats, he never lets himself get distracted by the situation or makes any kind of lewd comment, let alone thoughts.

* BornUnlucky: Fried, by his own admission. Alicia and Melvy agree. It can be seen as an explanation for why it's so easy to walk into traps in dungeons.

* EarlyGameHell: The first few chapters are brutal due to the simple fact that Alicia and Melvy are the only two party members at the start and enemies even in the first dungeon can one or two-shot Melvy. Having the DLC characters to form an immediate full party and their having much better starting equipment makes that portion of the game, until getting a full party naturally, significantly easier.

* FriendlessBackground: Averted with Fried, although he admits this is only because of Alicia and Melvy's efforts. He doesn't seem to mind, though.
* GeniusDitz: Alicia graduated with near-perfect scores in her swordsmanship and the worst scores in everything else.
* GenkiGirl: Alicia never drops her cheerful attitude.
* GlacierWaif: Alicia is short and small, yet her fighter class gives her more hit points, strength, and defense than the other characters at the start of the game, such as Melvy and Lilian. Even more pronounced when she unlocks her advanced classes, which potentially have her walking around in heavy armor, wielding weapons bigger than herself.

Added DiffLines:

* ChekhovsGun: Fried and Irena have a conversation about their favorite book to read while growing up (the same one that inspired Fried to become a Libra). In Chapter 10, when the party is searching for the entrance to the final dungeon, Fried finds [[spoiler:Irena's notes and information on how to get inside hidden in the same book]].


Added DiffLines:

* EarlyBirdCameo: Played with. During the boss battle against [[spoiler:Mefmera]] at the end of Chapter 9, her outfit changes to what she wears when promoting to the Joker class.


Added DiffLines:

* HalfHumanHybrid: Mefmera is half-monster and subjected to in-universe FantasticRacism for most of the story as a result.


Added DiffLines:

* StoryAndGameplaySegregation: Souffle joins the party as a Treasure Hunter at level 23, a class she wouldn't normally be able to access below level 30.

* ChargedAttack: How magical spells function in this game. Instead of casting them instantly, the caster begins chanting the spell. This takes a few turns and can be interrupted by damage, especially in the form of critical hits. The time it takes for the chant to complete is dependant on the power and rank of the spell.

* TheComicallySerious: A source of humor in the game is [[ChasteHero Fried]], and by extension the narration, entirely ignoring the fanservice the girls throw at him. When Conette invites him to her room for 'serious discussion'[[note]]she actually wants a massage[[/note]] and greets him almost completely naked, he reacts flustered, but only because her [[InformedDeformity chubby stomach and flabby arms]] are on full display and because such an outfit is hardly appropriate for a serious discussion.
* CordonBleughChef: Irena makes some sort of healthy tea for Fried, who almost chokes on it. She actually followed the recipe and made sure it tasted good... only to add a whole bunch of other, clashing ingredients to it afterwards, completely ruining the taste.

* EnemyScan: The Searching Eye joint attack reveals everything about every monster on the field, including remaining HP. This isn't normally visible, even when you already have created the sealbook(s) of the enemy monster type(s).

* MagicKnight: The Magical Princess class, which combines magical attacks, melee (sword) attacks and defensive spells. They're quite powerful, but burn through their [=TP=] quickly, which makes them somewhat difficult to play at lower levels.

* RandomEffectSpell: The Roulette Circus, Magic Box and Showtime techniques, learned by the Spieler class line, function like this.
* SacrificialRevivalSpell: A variation: Maids can learn a skill that sacrifices all of their own [=TP=] and distribute it among the characters of your chosing. The Maid stays alive, however, and since her skills cost no [=TP=], she can still function to her full ability

* SkillPointReset: In the form of a level reset, which sets the character back to level 1, 15, 30, 50 or 90; each rank getting unlocked once the character reaches it. This sets a character back to the chosen level, changes them back to their base class and refunds all the skillpoints they would have at said level (3 at level 1, 18 at level 15 and so on). If a character is set back to level 1 from level 61 or above, they will also gain permanent stat boosts. This allows for the player to experiment with different classes and builds.

* TechPoints: Each level up awards one and they're needed to unlock skills and to improve them. Somewhat confusingly, the game uses the term 'Tech Points' as stand-in for {{Mana}}, which fuels actual skill use in and outside of battle.

Meganekko is no longer a trope. It's a Fanspeak term. Moving wicks to Bespectacled Cutie when appropriate.

The game garnered notoriety before its American release when Atlus announced the game would have to be [[{{getting crap past the radar}} mildly censored]] to avoid an AO rating from the ESRB.
