* CutsceneIncompetence: [[spoiler: When confronting Iron Mask at Ozaki Hope Towers, the entire party is ambushed and easily paralyzed by Mothmen, despite many of your demons almost certainly blocking Ruin and/or status ailments at this point.]]

Added DiffLines:

* DoubleEdgedBuff: The Trance skill increases damage dealt by an ally's next Fire, Ice, Electric, or Force skill, but doubles its MP cost. Megido Trance does the same thing for Almighty skills.

Added DiffLines:

* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: Inverted in certain battles - battles against enemy Summoners end as soon as the Summoner is taken down, even if they have demons left. This ''is'' how the earlier Devil Summoner games worked, so it makes a certain amount of sense.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler:In both endings, the gang goes their separate ways, but the second ending gives a clearer picture on what everyone other than Ringo ends up doing. For "Beyond the Infinite", Ringo starts hanging out with the Komadori orphans from time to time and waits for Figue and Aion to eventually return, while Arrow, Milady, and Saizo's whereabouts are a bit more of a mystery. "Paradise Lost" has Ringo and Figue continue to be Aion Agents and It's ambassadors to humanity, while the {{Flash Forward}}s from Arrow, Milady, and Saizo's Soul Matrix Vision Quests heavily implies that they start working together to gradually destroy the Phantom Society.]]

** Paradise Lost: [[spoiler:Obtained by completing the 4th Floor of the party's Soul Matrix dungeons, entering the 5th Floor of each one, then choosing the "reach out to her" prompt after defeating the final boss. Ringo uses the Soul Hack on the dying Figue in order to save her. Despite Figue wanting to die, Ringo is able to pull her back from the brink, restoring Aion at the same time. After everything, Aion decides to finally reveal itself to humanity. While Ringo and Figue continue to be Agents of Aion, as well as It's ambassadors to humanity, the rest of the crew (Arrow, Milady, and Saizo) eventually start setting up the pieces to hopefully destroy the Phantom Society once and for all.]]
