* UnnecessarilyCreepyRobot: The setting shows that [[spoiler:robotic characters such as Poppi and Ino can have realistic and expressive faces]], yet it's never explained why the Queen has [[spoiler:a skeletal NightmareFace under her mask rather than an animatronic copy of the real Melia's face]] other than for RuleOfScary.

* UncannyValley: A very intentional example. Her mask, based on the already somewhat unsettling Empress Mask, is designed to give off this effect slightly. Then it gets ratcheted way up when [[spoiler:she's revealed to be a mechanical puppet and her ''real'' face is a skull-like NightmareFace worthy of a jumpscare, complete with the reveal happening when she shuts down and no longer appears to be living]].

* BaitAndSwitch: Their reveal as [[spoiler:AI impostors]] suggests at first that [[spoiler:the real Melia and Nia are long dead, and that Moebius is simply using their legacies and images for their own ends as people have forgotten what the real Queens were like.]] However, very shortly afterwards, [[spoiler:we learn that there are "real Queens", and the Ouroboros indeed end up meeting and befriending them in the late game.]]

* YearInsideHourOutside: Downplayed as its unclear if she could actually keep it up for any longer than we see, but M's powers can create a mental world where she can meet with and talk to a targeted person for a considerable amount of time while very little time passes from the perspective of the outside world. She was able to explain her identity and plan to Mio and convince her to join it while only moments passed to everyone else, and when Mio used her body and powers she was able to guide Noah through a long series of past life memories and conversations as a SecretTestOfCharacter in the second or so between her unleashing her powers and moving to go talk to Noah in person.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: Design notes point that his blonde hair, outfit, and kindly MessianicArchetype personality were created to be evocative of but not identical to Shulk, and lines up rather strongly with how the latter ends up being portrayed in ''Future Redeemed''. While it's deliberately left unconfirmed, if true it would make Crys Nikol's brother.
