** The localization being handled by Aksys and how the UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita version turned out to be a case of BadExportForYou. Some are glad that the game was localized at all, while others are displeased by the quality and hope that ''eX+'' will turn out better (which it did, substantially).
** The True Ending. [[spoiler: Fans are split on whether the True Ending's better than the Normal Ending. On one hand, Kou gets a chance to bring back Shiori, and he succeeds, which ends off everything on a happy note. And the option to choose the True Ending is shown only if the player chooses to do a lot of the optional stuff in the previous chapters to get Kou's stats high enough, so it somewhat matches with the game's message of the importance of one's choices (which is unsubtly mentioned again and again by Rem). On the other hand, though, the retconning of Shiori's death is thought to undermine the idea that Kou and the other residents of Morimiya must learn to move on from the great lie that they had lived in, and to some even makes this feel like a ShaggyDogStory as the entire build-up to this point is just undone like that. Moreover, it's made possible because of the Nine-Tailed Fox, of whom there were few to no signs in the foregoing chapters, and so he came off as a DeusExMachina that the writers put in to give the story a happy ending that it didn't truly need, and so the Normal Ending is seen as bolder and more coherent. This is allayed by the After Story in the eX+ version, which shows off how Kou, Shiori, and the others are now doing and reveals that reviving Shiori also unwittingly came with reviving the Twilight Apostle.]]

* AssPull: The twist that the Epilogue presents. [[spoiler: There is little to no foreshadowing that the Nine-Tailed Fox saved the true Shiori's soul during the Tokyo Twilight Disaster, and so the fact that Kou has another chance to bring back Shiori is a bit too convenient. It's also somewhat contrived that the Nine-Tailed Fox saved Shiori and not any of the other women who died from the tragedy, such as Futaba, Gorou's dead girlfriend, though the HandWave given is that Shiori happened to fit the Nine-Tailed Fox's desire for a priestess to serve him forever.]]

** Related to the above, despite the different rival organizations, there's never a Wielder versus Wielder MirrorBoss battle.

This could have also been a way to explore Wielders potentially [[BewareTheSuperman misusing their power]], requiring other Wielders to stop them.
** A few characters such as Chiaki and Aoi get sucked into the Eclipse, and Kou and company save them, which typically comes with development between the kidnapped character and the related team member.

* FanPreferredCouple: While the game lets the player build borderline-romantic relationships between Kou and just every major female character, quite a few fans seem to ship [[SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl YuukiXSora]] and [=ShioXMitsuki=] (it helps that many of the game's default options that set up team formations pair characters in a certain way), leaving Kou with a BettyAndVeronica-esque situation involving [[GirlNextDoor Shiori]], [[DefrostingIceQueen Asuka]], and [[ThirdOptionLoveInterest Rion]].

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** While this game is based heavily on the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'', it generally strikes a better balance between showing the protagonists' inexperience and making them less dependent on veteran combatants. The ''Trails'' protagonists would often need to be rescued when the bosses pull a [[TheBattleDidntCount second wind]] in the post-battle cutscene, but the XRC almost always finishes off the bosses properly and only needs to be saved when additional powerful enemies attempt to avenge the boss or when the enemies resort to ZergRush tactics. This is partially because the team has a few veteran Wielders as permanent party members, but the player doesn't have to use them and less experienced party members can keep up gameplay-wise. Eventually, the XRC manages to kill the Twilight Apostle at its prime, who was stated to give the veterans trouble during the Twilight Disaster.
** The Side Stories in ''eX+''. They flesh out some of the characters, including ones not playable in the original version.
** The After Story. [[spoiler: Fans unhappy with the True Ending find the After Story to be much better, as it wraps up a few plot points and shows off more of the game's world, shows what Shiori is like after being brought back, reveals that Shiori's resurrection was not without consequences (as it led to the Twilight Apostle's resurrection as well), and leaves a SequelHook at the very end.]]

* EndingFatigue: ''Tokyo Xanadu'' suffers from this in regards with how it wants to end its story. Beating the FinalBoss in the Final Chapter only nets you the normal ending, but should you raise Kou's three attributes past a certain threshold, the Final Chapter is then followed up with an Epilogue, which extends the story even further towards the true ending. The ''[[UpdatedRerelease eX+]]'' version then takes it UpToEleven by having an additional After Story after the Epilogue, making the story's ending drag on much longer than it should.

* CompositeCharacter: The game seems to have taken several characters from the Trails series and amalgamated them:
** '''Kou''' has the looks of ''Joshua Bright'', but the overall personality of ''Rean Schwarzer''.
** '''Asuka''' seems to be what you get when you combine ''Alisa Reinford's'' tsundere personality with ''Emma Millstein's'' air of mystery.
** '''Sora''' has the looks of ''Klaudia Aulesse'' but much of ''Millium Orion's'' personality. Her X Strike attack is also very similar to ''Lloyd Bannings[='=]'' S-Craft.
** '''Shio''' has this air of ''Ash Carbide'' to him, but ''Gaius Worzel's'' beliefs and ''Jusis Albarea[='s=]'' air of arrogance. Although this could be a partially inverted trope because Ash hasn't been created (or very least, ''finalized'') at the time of the game's release.
** '''Yuuki''' appears to be 95% ''Jona Sacred'' and 5% ''Elliot Craig''
** '''Jun''' is basically where the other 95% of ''Elliot Craig''[='=]s looks went. Aside from that, he has a charged attack similar to ''Wazy Hemisphere''[='=]s, [[spoiler: and like Wazy, he's on a secret mission from the Church]].
** While '''Gorou''' kinda looks like ''Carl Regnitz'', his personality is basically that of ''Thomas Lysander'', including [[spoiler: actually knowing more than he lets on]].
** '''Tomoaki''' is what you get when you combine ''Gilbert Stein''[='s=] and ''Lecther Arundel''[='s=] DNA and the resulting monster wants to copy ''Olivert''[='s=] purple proses so badly, except he does it ''so badly'' that he's full-on cringe instead.

* SoAverageItsOkay: Divisively, general consensus among the Falcom fandom is that the story is average, the characters are average and the gameplay is stock Action RPG fodder, along with the other issues highlighted in other parts of this page, making it unremarkable if compared to other Falcom franchises like the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' and their flagship ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' games. The game coming out right after the critically acclaimed ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel II'' certainly didn't help. This was rectified somewhat with the [=eX+=] remaster, which tried fleshing out the story further.

** '''Shio''' has this air of ''Ash Carbide'' to him, but ''Gaius Worzel's'' beliefs and ''Jusis Albarea[='s=]'' air of arrogance. Although this could be a partially inverted trope because Ash hasn't been created (or very least, ''finalized'' yet) yet at the time of the game's release.

Added DiffLines:
* CompositeCharacter: The game seems to have taken several characters from the Trails series and amalgamated them:
** '''Kou''' has the looks of ''Joshua Bright'', but the overall personality of ''Rean Schwarzer''.
** '''Asuka''' seems to be what you get when you combine ''Alisa Reinford's'' tsundere personality with ''Emma Millstein's'' air of mystery.
** '''Sora''' has the looks of ''Klaudia Aulesse'' but much of ''Millium Orion's'' personality. Her X Strike attack is also very similar to ''Lloyd Bannings[='=]'' S-Craft.

* AssPull: The twist that the Epilogue presents. [[spoiler: There is little to no foreshadowing that the Nine-Tailed Fox saved the true Shiori's soul during the Tokyo Twilight Disaster, and so the fact that Kou has another chance to bring back Shiori is a bit too convenient. It's also somewhat contrived that the Nine-Tailed Fox saved Shiori and not any of the other women who died from the tragedy, such as Futaba, Gorou's dead girlfriend, though the explanation is that Shiori happened to fit the Nine-Tailed Fox's desire for a priestess to serve him forever.]]

* SoAverageItsOkay: Divisively, general consensus among the Falcom fandom is that the story is average, the characters are average and the gameplay is stock Action RPG fodder, making it unremarkable if compared to other Falcom franchises like the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' and their flagship ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' games, along with the other issues highlighted in other parts of this page. The game coming out right after the highly acclaimed ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel II'' certainly didn't help. This was rectified somewhat with the [=eX+=] remaster, which tried fleshing out the story further.
