* MoralMyopia: During their meeting, Nero doesn't seem to understand Shelke's motives to protect people who count on her, while this latter does exactly the same for his brother Weiss and is ready to kill anyone who would dare come close to him. Although there is a slight moment where he seems to think about it, he ends up by saying it is just nonsense.

In the online mode, that is very subtle but there are some little between Weiss and Rosso during their fight.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: In the online mode. It is very difficult to guess who is the nicest between Restrictor and Weiss as the two of them committed very horrible and amoral actions to reach their goals, and in any case there would be victims because of them. Nevertheless, the online mode made the Tsviets as somehow the "good guys" because of their background which makes them somewhat sympathetic. Furthermore, Weiss's [[care for his brother BigBrotherInstinct]] is his only one redeemable trait

* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Two cases actually happened. The first one is definitely Lucrecia. Even though her and Hojo's relationship could be viewed whether as love or not, that's because she followed Hojo that she [[spoiler:used her own child Sephiroth as an experiment]] to the point she doesn't even care about Vincent's warnings, while this latter was genuinely in love with her. She is remorseful but unfortunately that is too late. The second example is Nero who is ready to commit genocide and awakening Omega only out of love for his brother [[spoiler:who was actually Hojo]]. In this case it comes out as a LoveMakesYouEvil trope too.

* AntiHero: Vincent possibly type II.
** In the online mode, if not being directly Type V, Weiss could be viewed as a Type IV. He killed Restrictor yes, but he committed very morally ambiguous actions to do such as [[spoiler:using another Tsviet, the player by faking her/his memories and making it believing that Restrictor killed its sister. And when it died, Weiss doesn't even care about it.]]

** Tsviets are monsters, however Weiss's and Nero's relationship are the few moments of humanity between them. Some of interactions with the player in Online eventually turned to be a BaitTheDog, as they even didn't care if the player died.
