* StandardStatusEffects: The units with the "Remedy" element are focused on curing and sometimes inflicting ailments,

** Another occurs in Chapter 28 it's revealed that [[spoiler: The Oxsecians created the Animatas as a Life Breeder project to create new forms of life, but they lost control of them and they destroyed the Oxsecian homeworld.]]

* Expy: The challenge event Hedgehog Hullabloo has a hedgehog named Knack who looks like Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog. Not surprising as they were both designed by Naoto Oshima.

* AlternateSelf: Recoded charactrrs often have related, but very differrent backstories to their base forms. For example, Yukken is a chatterbox who overwhelm arguments with lots of words, but recoded Yukken is a girl who has never said a single word in her life. Gatz is a street thief who lost his sister, but recoded Gatz is a prince who is looking for his missing sisters.

* ElementalRockPaperScissors: For magic attacks, [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] and [[AnIcePerson Ice]] do extra damage to each other, and so do [[ShockAndAwe Thunder]] and [[CastingAShadow Darkness]]. Later patches introduce [[LightEmUp Photon]] and [[GravityMaster Gravity]] elements, which aside from dealing extra damage to each other, also beats Darkness and Thunder, respectively.

*** [[ShockAndAwe Lightning]]: Thunder -> Lightning -> Tempest

** Another daily quest, Puppet Show, eschews the standard turn timer for a 12-second timer that carries over from one turn to the next, requiring you to quickly move your units to maximize your number of turns. It is possible to [[EpicFail end the quest on your first turn]] if you start to move a unit but fail to put it down in 12 seconds.

* FountainOfYouth: Some of the SS characters, such as Zerro and Jennish, become younger versions of themselves once they are recoded.

*** [[AnIcePerson Ice]]: Ice -> Glacier -> Absolute Zero

*** [[CastingAShadow Darkness]]: Shadow -> Abyss -> Dark Matter

*** NonElemental: Trance -> Ultima -> Transcendence

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Some of the characters' outfits become this by their third job.

* TheWarSequence: Chapter 20 has [[spoiler:only one quest]]...which is ''[[MarathonLevel twenty battles long]]''. It is so long that the boss theme, normally reserved for the last battle in a given quest, starts playing three battles in advance.

* ShoutOut: Combined with a meta {{CallBack}} to Final Fantasy, [[spoiler:a group of late game bosses, The Chimeras]] are named after, and even occasionally refered to as, the Four Fiends.

* UselessUsefulSpells:

*** [[PlayingWithFire Fire]]: Fire -> Inferno -> Solar Wind

* ArtificialLimbs: [[spoiler: Upon unlocking their third job, many characters will have body parts replaced with mechanical prosthesis. For example, one of the two starting characters, the archer Grace, has her bow-arm replaced with an ArmCannon.]]

* ElementalRockPaperScissors: For magic attacks, Fire and Ice do extra damage to each other, and so do Thunder and Darkness.

* GenreShift: The game's first few chapters frame the world as a fairly standard, if rather bleak, Fantasy setting. [[spoiler:Quickly, however, the game shifts to ScienceFiction with the addition of robots, aliens, and spaceships.]]
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: [[spoiler:The Apirath, which suddenly attacks your party from another dimension at the end of Chapter 32.]]
* GuestStarPartyMember: Peprope joins you for one fight at the end of chapter 14. He's ridiculously overpowered for that fight, with absurd skills like raising skill activation to 100% for the entire party.

** Petrification turns units to stone and makes them unable to act for a very long time,

* TacticalRockPaperScissors: For physical attacks, Sword beats Bow, Bow beats Spear, and Spear beats Sword. Wand is neutral, and is usually reserved for magic users. Later chapters feature more and more Wand-type enemies explicitly so players can't exploit the weapon triangle.
* TailSlap: Certain Lizardfolk can learn this skill.

** Maralme and Velarine can both use a sword called Wyrmtail.
** All the weapon item drops that are used to upgrade characters' jobs fall under this trope.
* LittleBitBeastly: The Beastfolk race, who are brown-skinned and have large hairy ears, but otherwise extremely similar to humans.

* SlimeMonster: Some of the enemies, notably the Puddings from the Hunting Zones. They all have distinction of having extremely high chance to dodge physical attacks. Magic attacks easily kill them, however.
* SpikesOfDoom: Spike tiles appear in some quests. A character that stays on a spike tile will sustain damage for every turn they stay on it, and will also take damage each time they pass over one. Later chapters introduce spike traps with taller spikes that do more damage. There are other kinds of damage tiles (such as lava and ice tiles), but spike tiles are by far the most common.

** Poison deals damage to afflocted units every turn.

** Demoralize makes the unit unable to cast skills and greatly reduces their attack power.

* TacticalRockPaperScissors: For physical attacks, Sword beats Bow, Bow beats Spear, and Spear beats Sword. Wand is neutral, and is usually reserved for magic users.
* TailSlap: Certain lizardfolk can learn this skill.

* TogetherInDeath: During Chapter 29 a person must sacrifice them self to activate the party's last chance at survival. [[spoiler: Palpa]] insist on being this sacrifice to be with another character that sacrificed himself earlier.

* UndergroundCity: There are two. First is the city of Agra, where people live using machineries left by the ancient civilization. Deeper underground is the city of Prah, where the Stonefolks live.

* DescriptivelyNamedRace: Beastfolks have beast-like features. Lizardfolks are, well, LizardFolk. Stonefolks are made of stone.

* LizardPeople: The aptly named Lizardfolk race.

* MetalSlime: The Metal Zone features "Metal" enemies that dish out a lot of EXP, but also have a high likelihood of escaping after one or two turns. Occasionally, "Runner" enemies will appear that can do that and also will move away if the player tries to move a unit close to them, making them more difficult to kill. Once in a while there will be a "All Hail the King" event where the player can try to kill a Metal King before it leaves for even larger EXP spoils. There are six Metal Zones tailored to specific level ranges, each with their own opening and closing times.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: some monsters and bosses can be recruited to join the player when defeated.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors:
** For physical attacks: Sword beats Bow, Bow beats Spear, and Spear beats Sword.
** For magic attacks: Fire and Ice do extra damage to each other, and so do Thunder and Darkness.

* NonEntityGeneral: Many cutscenes will use second-person pronouns to address the player, but the exact nature of the player character is never made clear.

* BribinngYourWayToVictory: It wouldn't be a ''mobage'' without this trope. The game features "Energy" currency, which can be picked up through some login bonuses, clearing chapters, getting players to use your referral code, using another player's referral code (which [[ItOnlyWorksOnce only works once]]), and of course spending real cash on them. Energy is used for summoning rare allies via Pacts of Truth, continuing after a GameOver, and refilling Stamina.
