* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Suleiman dies in a HeroicSacrifice after returning in the final chapter to help the Darker Busters defeat Farzad. [[DisneyDeath He gets better though.]]]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Akhtar uses the Score become host to Dark Falz in an act of goodwill. Unfortunately, this causes her to become the BigBad for the remainder of the Season.]]

* CallBack: [[spoiler:As Hade dies in front of Duna, Quna mentions that the spirits of Dragonkin are reincarnated upon death, but as Hade is borne from a Chrome Dragon, who is an artificial Dragonkin, his spirit will vanish.]] This fact was previously touched upon during [[spoiler:Hadred's death]] in ''EPISODE 1'' in the main game.

''Phantasy Star Online 2es''[[note]]The "es" stands for "essence", which is to be pronounced like the letter S, not E-S[[/note]] is a free to play mobile game/companion app spinoff of the hit MMORPG ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'', and the first ever ''Phantasy Star'' title to arrive on mobile devices. It was released for Android devices on April 7th, 2014, and for [=iOS=] on May 14th, 2014.

** Seiga Javelin saps 90% of your HP to raise your ATK by a staggering '''15,500 (17,000 SP)'''. It also starts regenerating 5% of your HP every 2 seconds to heal off the effect.

** [[spoiler:Suleiman is ultimately revealed to want to create a new ARKS that won't have to worry about losing its purpose when the Darker threat is eradicated, where people with and without Photon capability can fight on equal footing and . The problems: 1. He's trying to weaponize Darker Factor for this, and 2. He wants to rule the new ARKS, which the Darker Busters unanimously decree is an awful idea. Unfortunately, Suleiman crossed the deep end a long time ago, requiring the Darker Busters to beat the snot out of him.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Khorshid [[spoiler:wants to unseal the Dark Falz locked away in the Erzimats' home planet to destroy it once and for all so the planet can be free.]] Akhtar opposes this action for obvious reasons (and this usually doesn't go well based on franchise history). Shockingly, ''Gene'', of all people, seems to take Khorshid's side on this one.

* DegradedBoss: In later ARKS Quests and Story Quests, some enemies that were formerly boss mobs begin showing up as normal enemies.

* AwesomeYetImpractical:
** Over End. Easily the strongest Sword Photon Art, with an obscene power rating and huge area of effect. However, it's so painfully slow that unless you have fully maxed Chips and a way to regenerate/sap HP, it's near-useless against bosses that can pound your head in in two hits.
** Sphere Eraser. The strongest Launcher Art, which fires a WaveMotionGun at enemies to obliterate them. However, it barely ticks more than three times, and goes through your entire CP bar in less than a second. Launcher's slow firing speed also makes it difficult to restore CP in a reasonable amount of time, further reducing Sphere Eraser's effectiveness. However, if you equip Rigid Units and Chips that boost your CP cap, you can reach a value of CP in which it will actually tick more than three times, and it's very possible for Sphere Eraser to hit the 999,999 damage cap.
** EX Photon Arts and Technics. They're the strongest types of Attack Chips you can get, but have higher CP costs than their weaker counterparts, making them harder to spam than Level 3 Arts and Techs. Because they're 11★, they also aren't easily upgraded due to requiring either identical Chips or Nyau Chips, the latter of which is a RareRandomDrop from Super Hard Emergency Quest or exchanged for for 10 Operation Stars. They also have high Cost, which can make them outright unusable in certain Decks without a +35 Arion weapon.
