!! Freedom Wars provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: You meet a lot of female Sinners over the course of the game. You can also be one if you're female.
* AerithAndBob: It's about a fifty-fifty split, given you have names like Uwe and Mattias, and then Carlos and Beatrice.
* AmnesiacHero: You, after you fell and you hit the floor.
* ApatheticCitizens: Invoked and justified. Citizens are far above the social ladder than Sinners, so most of them don't really care what happens to you, since you're as good as disposable grunt units to them.
* BadassInANiceSuit: The ''Reclaimation Pack'' DLC comes with a pair of matching suits for male and female players and Accessories, so you can be this.
* {{BFG}}: Pretty much any gun that isn't an Assault Class.
* {{BFS}}: All Heavy Melee weapons are this flavor.
* BoomHeadshot: Depending on the gun, you can get bonus damage for shooting a target in the head.
* BottomlessMagazines: Averted. Guns have clips and magazines, and you won't be able to use them if you run dry. You can replenish lost ammo by collecting Ammo Boxes or using an Ammo Box item.
* BreakableWeapons: Anything that isn't an Abductor's torso or legs[[note]]Rear legs, in the case of T-Type Abductors[[/note]] can be severed off with a Light Melee weapon or simply destroyed by dealing enough damage.
* ButtonMashing: Used extensively. Be it severing parts, [[PressXToNotDie escaping an Abductor's grasp]], or performing a Dragdown, you gotta mash O.
* ChainsawGood: One of the Light Melee weapons is this.
* CharacterClassSystem: The three Ibara Hookshot choices are designed to be this: The offensively-tuned Binding Thorn, the WhiteMagic[=-powered=] Healing Thorn, and the defensive Shielding Thorn.
* ChargedAttack: All Melee weapons get this, and attacks can be charged up to two levels. Heavy Melee and Polearms in particular get both a Light Charged Attack and a Heavy Charged Attack. The Ibara Hookshot also can be charged up to two levels, with varying effects depending on what kind of whip you have equipped.
* {{Combos}}: Pressing the Light Attack button then switching to the Heavy Attack button can perform attack combos with Melee weapons.
* CombatMedic: Players can be this with the Healing Thorn Hookshot.
* CutsceneIncompetence: In gameplay, you can be downed as much as you like, and you won't ever be the worse for wear, but when you get downed in the first cutscene, you lose your memories.
* DeflectorShields: Some Abductors come equipped with shield generators, which null all incoming attacks except for those performed while latched onto the Abductor.
* DistressedDude[=/=]DamselInDistress: A third of the game is made up of rescuing trapped Citizens from Abductors. Your Accessory can also be kidnapped, turning them into this.
* DubNameChange: ''Ibara Hookshot'' to ''Thorn Whip''.
* EscortMission: You get to carry an allied Abductor for one Operation. It's not nearly as good as the enemy Abductors, since it doesn't fight back and you have to guide it manually.
* EvilVersusEvil: All Panopticons have the same goal: to steal resources from each other. You're doing their dirty work for them, and you don't really have a say in the matter.
* {{Fangirl}}: Beatrice is absolutely obsessed with Abductors, much to the confusion of her friends. She can't help but [[{{Squee}} squee]] and ask endless questions about its components when they show up.

* GiantSpider: The S-Type Abductors are this flavor.
* JustifiedTutorial: You lost your memories at the beginning, so you need to go through "Re-Education" to relearn how to fight.
* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler:Don't get too attached to Ann.]]
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Accessories. They also happen to be your jailers, though they're your allies in combat.
* SilentProtagonist: Outside of dialogue choices, you're completely silent in cutscenes. You have a voice in combat, though.
* SpamAttack: The Aftershadow can do this as its Heavy Charged Attack.
* TurnsRed: All Abductors do this when you either drop their HP below half, or rescue a Citizen they were holding hostage. It's possible to knock them out of this state, but drop them below 25% and they'll fire up again.
* VirtualPaperDoll: You're free to change your outfits and accessories at will from your cell. Halfway through the game, your [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Accessory]] gets in on the action as well.
* WorthlessYellowRocks: You'll occasionally come across Diamond-Like Carbon, a Material that is considered quite useless as it's from the pre-Panopticon era. Subverted in gameplay, as they can be used to craft weapons.
