* NewGamePlus: [[spoiler: When you start a New Game+, all your old items are dismantled and the Parts added to your inventory, you're given the option to buy powerful AP/SP/ASVR-increasing equipment using Parts, researchable items gain the ability to take a fourth level, and Jefuty gains the Atropos rifle, an obscenely overpowered rifle that can store overkill damage from kills for the next shot at level 3 and get up to ''13 tiles'' of range with the write barrel mods and buffs.]]

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Almost every mission in the game has you playing as the AU, [[spoiler: but Chapter 5-1 has you playing the URNC local garrison instead, controlling Colonel Beria and his adjutant Lieutenant Kirill with a platoon-sized unit of friendly NPC soldiers accompanying you to stall the Werewolves' advance to Mineral Water City.]]

* EliteMooks: The Werewolf Commando Team serves as this to the regional URNC forces. Most human and mechanical enemy types also have an elite form, usually instantly recognizable by the addition of black or red paint.

* BlackAndGrayMorality: Mendo, Jefuty and their allies are fighting for the Antarctic Union, who have done some pretty messy things in the First Antarctic War and utilize their Collapse Technology for ruthless methods of opposing the URNC. The heroes ''will'' kill entire battalions' worth of opposing URNC troops to survive, and [[even pose as wounded URNC soldiers to trick them into letting them in their base to rescue Lige.]] But the URNC are utilizing mass forces to invade and destroy everything in their path that even remotely offers resistance in an attempt to take over the AU's territory, some of it out of payback for their losing the war several years prior, and are fielding the [[EliteMook Shrikes]], who are entities that can [[spoiler:''destroy the world as we know it'']] if mishandled. [[spoiler:Then there's the "Three Goddesses Project" that created Jefuty, Noel/Lige, and a new, separate [[CallBack Lunasia]], as both the AU and URNC temporarily worked together to try to create entities that could shift the entire fate of the world going forwards with highly classified and illegal research, effectively making both factions bastards that ended up going at each other's throats, even if the grunts on the ground level don't know this.]]

* [[{{Retool}} Retool]]: As stated above, of ''Girl of the Bakehouse''. ''Bakery Girl'' carries over concepts such as the war between Antarctic Union and URNC, as well as Mendo and Jefuty's names, but reimagines their story. Whereas they were a war reporter and an orphan respectively, ''Bakery Girl'' casts Mendo as an AU special agent trying to extract Jefuty from the URNC, who seeks to use her to further their research into [[Collapse Technology.]]

* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Jefuty is armed with a Mosin-Nagant, a bolt-action rifle that is almost ''200 years old'' by the game's setting, but she has no problems kicking ass with it.

* SuperSoldier: Jefuty and Lige have some sort of HealingFactor and adaptable combat capabilities that put them above any human soldier, and the URNC refuse to let them escape into AU hands, even if it means killing them. [[spoiler:Turns out they were both part of a program using [[{{Precursors}} GAVIRUL]] DNA on human embryos, in an attempt to access Relic sites. Jefuty is considered the only success of the experiment, as she has this access ability, leading to the URNC and AU desperately trying to lay claim to her.]]

* DeathIsCheap: [[spoiler:Sugar]] is seemingly incapable of dying permanently, on account of [[spoiler:being the Shrike Progenitor]], until [[spoiler:Lige]] stumbles upon her weak spot: the [[spoiler:False Heart]].

** [[spoiler:Lusica was the original Shrike clone of Jefuty that ultimately ended the world, and spells this out to a particular Jefuty in the BadFuture that so long as she exists the way she does, that future will always happen. So she and the future Jefuty made a deal for MentalTimeTravel, where they would both lay claim to an alternate failed clone equivalent that would become Lige; once the deal is done and a GoldenEnding is attained, Lusica makes due on her end of the deal and takes Lige's body back from the future Jefuty, before transforming the body into a Jefuty duplicate and creating a Lige Shrike clone to keep up appearances. Even if it's only temporary, as it's unknown how long the deception would last, Lusica gets to escape the "bad ending" she was made to create, albeit at the cost of stealing Jefuty's happiness in the process.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:In the very original timeline that kicked off this entire mess, Jefuty was brought clones of herself by William to see if she could "feel anything" with them, in his attempts to create a "fully-immune" individual for his own purposes with all of Jefuty's benefits. In that very first timeline, she was honest enough to say yes to the clone that would become Lusica -- who would proceed to become the Shrike Progenitor, and activate Relic sites across Earth as an ApocalypseMaiden, essentially destroying ''everything''. When this same Jefuty was later armed with future knowledge of these events thanks to her abilities, combined with the clone mentally begging for help, she lied to William, resulting in his research on the subject folding, that clone instead becoming the failure known as Lige that Jefuty would take under her wing as a sister, and William instead resorting to the creation of Sugar as a separate, inferior attempt at the Shrike Progenitor, setting into motion the events of the game.]]

* MesACrowd: By the end of the game, [[spoiler:there's effectively three different versions of Jefuty: the mental time-traveling one we've followed who manages to finally make an EverybodyLivesEnding, a more cynical and depressed version of herself from a BadFuture that was mentally inhabiting Lige throughout the game to try to change the past, there's a Shrike Progenitor clone of Jefuty named Lusica who is fully immune to Relic and Shrike consequences and became an ApocalypseMaiden that collaborated with the future Jefuty, and Lige herself is a "failure" alternative of Lusica thanks to Jefuty making timeline-altering decisions in regards to lying to William about specific details. This effectively means Jefuty's timeline complexities have surrounded her existence with three derivatives of herself, and that's ''before'' Lusica takes Lige's body back from the future Jefuty.]]

* MesACrowd: By the end of the game, [[spoiler:there's effectively three different versions of Jefuty: the mental time-traveling one we've followed who manages to finally make an EverybodyLivesEnding, a more cynical and depressed version of herself from a BadFuture that was mentally inhabiting Lige throughout the game to try to change the past, and the absolute bombshell that Lige is a clone of Jefuty called Lusica, who was originally the cause of said bad future by fulfilling William's goals. It gets even more confusing by the true ending, where Lusica gets control of the body back, alters herself to be a Jefuty copy to fool Mendo and the AU and creates a fake Lige clone out of Shrike material, while the future version of Jefuty is stuck in her mind with the two actively debating each other.]]

* WhamEpisode: Going into Chapter 5 [[spoiler:with the failed negotiation with Beria, Lige drops the big bombshell that she's actually a Jefuty in control of their sister's mind the entire time, trying to carefully manipulate events to prevent TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. In this path, with Mendo and the rest of the AU team dead, she ultimately makes an agreement with the main Jefuty for one last attempt to go back in time-- with the added hitch that William's attempt to replace Jefuty, Lusica, is now looking to complete the task like she did so many timelines ago, and ''Lusica'' is the original "Lige" now looking to take her body back and then some.]]

To add even more confusion to the mess, the future Jefuty is now bouncing around inside Lusica's head since "her" active body was hijacked, with the two at active odds against each other over it.]]

* WhamEpisode: The remake hits hard in the late game with the revelation that [[spoiler:Jefuty, Lige / [[ManchurianAgent Noel]] and a third part of the "Three Goddesses Project" were part of research using the same [[{{Precursors}} GAVIRUL]] materials that have been gathered from remnants of the Relics on Earth, and who else but ''[[GreaterScopeVillain William]]'' was a part of the project in trying yet again to rebirth Lunasia, effectively making him Jefuty and Lige's "father". And the path to the GoldenEnding has him coming up out of nowhere for rapidly turning it into a BittersweetEnding.]]

* GodzillaThreshold: The mobilization of the Shrikes, as the URNC has their problems with it but ultimately deem it a necessity to overcome the Antarctic Union and get Jefuty back. Turns out there's a good reason for this being a threshold: [[spoiler:in extreme conditions, a Shrike can be "invaded", transforming into a BodyHorror EldritchAbomination that needs killing ''immediately'' to prevent the entire region from becoming a no man's land. One Shrike going uncontained wiped out ''most of a continent'' before it was stopped.]]

* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/GirlsFrontline In Chapter 2-2, Betty (IDW), Abigail ([=M500=]), Ruby ([=P2000=]), and Valmet ([=M82=])]], who are now part of the Global Relief Foundation, work with Mendo and Jefuty to break through a URNC checkpoint. Evidently thirty years of service hasn't dulled their fighting strength, since they retain skills from their time in Griffin & Kryuger.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:On one hand, Jefuty's GroundhogDayLoop method of sending her memories back to her past self to save everyone she can does eventually work out. On the other hand, she's ultimately forced to [[HeroicSacrifice give herself up]] to save them in the final timeline the game winds down to, ending up captured by [[GreaterScopeVillain William]] for her unique capabilities. A SequelHook is left where Mendo and the others [[IWillFindYou won't take this lying down]].]]

* WhamEpisode: While obviously taking place after ''Girls' Frontline'', the story is after a notable TimeSkip past both games and generally does its own plot independently for the most part. [[spoiler:Then [[GreaterScopeVillain William]] gets involved, and it turns out Jefuty and Lige were part of a project using [[{{Precursors}} GAVIRUL]] samples found on Relics to make superhumans that can naturally access Relics. They're also incidentally tied to more of William's efforts to revive Lunasia, to the point that a third child from the project bears her name. Lige's name is also Noel, and she was a sleeper agent inserted to help seize Jefuty the entire time. At this point, William then becomes the BigBad of the game.]]

* BlackAndGrayMorality: Mendo, Jefuty and their allies are fighting for the Antarctic Union, who have done some pretty messy things in the First Antarctic War and utilize their Collapse Technology for ruthless methods of opposing the URNC. The heroes ''will'' kill entire hordes of opposing URNC troops to survive. But the URNC are utilizing mass forces to invade and destroy everything in their path that even remotely offers resistance in an attempt to take over the AU territory, some of it out of payback for their losing the war several years prior, and are fielding the [[EliteMook Shrikes]], who are entities that can [[spoiler:''destroy the world as we know it'']] if mishandled. [[spoiler:Then there's the "Three Goddesses Project" that created Jefuty, Noel/Lige, and a new, separate [[CallBack Lunasia]], as both the AU and URNC temporarily worked together to try to create entities that could shift the entire fate of the world going forwards with highly classified and illegal research.]]

* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Jefuty is armed with a Mosin-Nagant, a bolt-action rifle that is almost ''200 years old'' by the game's setting, but she has no problems kicking ass with it.
