* KickTheSonOfABitch: The destruction of [[spoiler:the Aerie]] is nothing short of karmic. Especially as the denizens could've prevented it if they had simply [[spoiler:allowed foreigners to help them]] instead of being a bunch of bitter, selfish shut-ins.

* HeelFaceTurn:
** In endings C and D, [[spoiler:Tyrann actually helps Nier in defeating Kainé after she loses control of her body. Heck, both of the options he gives to Nier only screw HIM over.]]
** The second choice also affects the PLAYER by giving a whole new meaning to HeroicSacrifice. Make a backup if you intend to go this route, because it will delete all your save files. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwM-A7okQxw Seriously.]]

** For example, after accepting a handful of sidequests Weiss will chide the protagonist for wasting time agreeing to any inane task anyone approaches him with. The protagonists then explains that doing odd jobs for the people of the village is the only way he's able to make any income and afford to take care of Yonah and himself; and he's grateful to the people of the village for the privilege. [[spoiler:And considering [[TheOldestProfession the other way]] he makes money to afford medicine for Yonah it's understandable why running around collecting TwentyBearAsses is preferable.]]

* AllForNothing: By the end of the game, particularly [[spoiler:Ending B]], it's clear that [[spoiler:Project Gestalt]] was this thanks to [[spoiler:the protagonist killing the Shadowlord. Over ''a thousand years'' of scientific research, hard work and personal suffering on the part of countless individuals was rendered completely valueless in one fell swoop.]]

Added DiffLines:

* TeleporterAccident: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in a conversation between Nier and Weiss, when Nier comments about [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall how convenient it would be to warp back to a client]] after collecting everything for their FetchQuest. Weiss proclaims that anyone who's attempted such magic in the past was "reduced to mincemeat when they struck obstacles in their path".

All three weapons which, besides being quite powerful, are references to [[VideoGame/{{Drakengard}} Caim]].also shaped like the three different forms of Angelus.
