* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment: "系ぎて" may become the next ThatOneLevel for many players, but carries a very different theme in stark contrast to the other Level 15 Re:Master song, "PANDORA PARADOXXX". While "PANDORA PARADOXXX" is a song with a serious and dark atmosphere, the PV shows a dark and destroyed world in it, the PV of "系ぎて" instead shows the barren world coming back to life with a bright and colorful atmosphere, ending with a shot of a now-blue Earth. The music, while also intense, is also very hopeful and upbeat. Furthermore, the unlocking condition of this song (Before March 21st when this song would be opened to public) is to play with other players who have unlocked this song, fitting the song's title "connecting each other", and truly makes a wonderful way to end a generation.

* NintendoHard: ''maimai'' can seem like a "casual" rhythm game at first thanks to the large number of licensed songs -- Music/{{VOCALOID}}, ''Franchise/TouhouaProject'', and anime songs in particular -- but it can get to be very challenging at the higher levels thanks to a combination of a radial/"polar" note scrolling style (as opposed to the more traditional "falling" notes of games such as ''IIDX'' and ''Sound Voltex'') and slide notes that not only make confusing patterns that must be quickly slid ''while'' doing other notes, but can also ''hurt your hands'' unless you wear gloves. Like ''Project Diva'' (also a SEGA game), you need an 80% or higher to pass each song. At least there's no LifeMeter...unless you're playing "Challenge Tracks" where you're allowed a limited number of non-Perfect judgements before the game kills you, and if you attempt a Challenge Track as soon as it's out you will lose as soon as you get ''one'' non-Perfect (picture the "Attack! Perfect Full Combo" challenges from ''DDR'', but applied to a wider range of songs).

* SalvagedGameplayMechanic: Hold notes in the "classic" ''maimai'' games were criticized for not only requiring timing the start of the note but also the release of the note, which made getting high scores and All Perfect runs tricker than players were comfortable with. Furthermore, releasing a hold even for a brief moment would drop the hold and count it as a Good. The ''Deluxe'' era now gives players a brief chance to re-hold a dropped hold without affecting the judgement, and now allows over-holding a hold note and still getting a Critical Perfect.

** In ''Deluxe'' it's far easier to get high score thanks to the wide judgement window and the hold notes being reworked to be less frustrating, to the point that you can easily get an S rank or above. Nevertheless, clearing the hardest songs with an All Perfect and high Deluxe Score (based on the amount of Critical Perfects you get) is still a great challenge.

** Slides are disliked by new players, partly because they require being tapped and ''then'' slid, but also because they can be rough on bare hands and depending on how well-maintained the cabinet is, slides can fail to register causing "Late -- Good" judgements at best and "Too Late -- Miss" at worst. Many players are advised to wear low-friction gloves because of this.
