It turns out [[spoiler:the surface they've lived in is a landmass that was actually erected by the mystical tree after the original ground where humans lived went through an apocalypse and said characters are the descendants of the civilization that lived during that tragic period]]. So when they reach the fifth stratum, they find themselves on the highest floors of the Shinjuku buildings in Tokyo, Japan. Going further down merely means getting back to the surface of the now-defunct old world.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Although the ''HD'' remaster is based on the original game, it does add some new or backported quality-of-life features:
** SuspendSave is available and can be done at any time you're outside of battle in the labyrinth. The suspend save also does not delete itself when you reload it (only doing so when you perform a formal save at a geomagnetic pole or the inn).
** The map can be drawn using conventional button controls. While this is mandated on the Steam version on a PC and the Switch version in TV Mode, it also serves as an alternative for players on a Steam Deck or a Switch in undocked modes who find the touch controls too finicky.

** The "Talk" dialogue of the Etria [=NPCs=] is extremely sparse; most get one new line per stratum, while others like the Guildmaster don't even have that luxury. The second game would establish the tradition of giving townspeople new dialogue for every floor reached, and ''The Millenium Girl'' would add new dialogue to match.
** The game's map design is overtly labyrinthine: dead ends without rewards are frequent, shortcuts are sporadic, and there are more experimental floor layouts such as wide-open rooms (often stuffed with [=FOE=] to maneuver around), dozens of tiny rooms linked by doors, and lengthy winding paths. Some aspects of these show up in later games, but otherwise the labyrinths were streamlined to focus more on individual puzzle/FOE segments connected by hallways instead of pure mazes.
** Floor events stop showing up after only the ''second'' floor of the game, and from then on are restricted to quests. ''The Millenium Girl'' would add many more to bring it up to parity with later games.

* AscendedMeme: The very limited town dialogue in the original game meant that, outside of quests, the Guildmaster was [[WelcomeToCorneria stuck with one line for the whole game]]: "You sign up a good crew? If you didn't give it some thought, you'll regret it later." In ''The Millenium Girl'', not only is this specific line fully voiced, but the Guildmaster's new lines frequently reference it as being a nervous tic of his.

Moving some tropes to the character page.
Deleted line(s) 75 (click to see context) :
* InsectQueen: The game introduces the Ant Queen, fought as a MiniBoss in Azure Rainforest (this also applies to the remake ''Millenium Girl''), and in later games as an OptionalBoss in the sea (''The Drowned City'') and in a MiniDungeon (''Nexus''). If the egg sacs she drops aren't gotten rid of prior to the battle, the newborn Ants will eventually join the battle, making things more difficult.
Deleted line(s) 86 (click to see context) :
* MookMaker: The Queen Ant, which lays egg sacs from which ant enemies can be hatched. If these sacs are left unchecked by the time the Queen is fought, the ants will eventually join the fray and make the fight much harder.
Deleted line(s) 102 (click to see context) :
* SkippableBoss: The Wyvern in Primitive Jungle can be skipped. In fact, it's highly advised to do so at first, due to its exceptional power and defense. The earliest moment to consider fighting it is during the postgame.
Deleted line(s) 118 (click to see context) :
* WhipOfDominance: The Dark Hunter class has the option to use whips, and the [[BondageIsBad class has a heavy BDSM theme]]. The females in particular like to dress in [[DressedLikeADominatrix scant leather outfits]], and all their whip skills have [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything very suggestive names]], such as Cuffs, Gag, Ecstasy, and Climax. They even specialize in [[InstantKnots tying up enemies]] and their [[LimitBreak Dominate]] skill lets them [[{{Fetish}} completely bind and gag]] an enemy without fail. This was even acknowledged by the developer in the [[https://web.archive.org/web/20181019082532/https://www.atlus.com/etrian/img/comic3.gif Etrian Odyssey comic]].

* BlackoutBasement: The 27th floor has very poor visibility, only allowing you to see a maximum of one square ahead (as opposed to three or four, usually). It's also dotted with pitfalls that plunge you into the floor below, and that's lined with damage tiles to give you a hard time on the way back up. The floor has several torches that can deal with the poor visibility, but lighting them also attracts the attention of nearby [=FOEs=].
* BlatantLies:
** The bear F.O.E.s in the fifth stratum are weaker than the mantis on the same floor, according to the minimap. The bears also have a random, heavy-hitting attack that can wipe out your party in a single turn, even with buffs and debuffs added, which is far more than a mantis can do.
** Some skills have deceiving descriptions. For example, Stone Gleam says it targets a line, while it really only targets a single person/enemy. Forest Barrier reduces defense and Forest Breach reduces attack, despite the names making more sense the other way around. When the party healing skill Salve is at level 9, the "next level" descriptor in the Custom screen says it will target all '''enemies''' at level 10. Allied Bonds says it recovers HP when party members in the same line sacrifice their HP, but it actually recovers '''T'''P. The Landsknecht skill "Recover" says it can remove binds off of an ally when, in fact, it only affects ''the user''. The text in cutscenes also occasionally has typos.
** There are a few Grimoire effects guilty of this as well. One such notable example says that new Grimoire Stones will be at double the level of the original... but it actually increases the level of abilities on equipped Grimoire Stones by 2.

For another, one boss (Fenrir) is sprite-recycled as a normal enemy later on, which would never happen for later games' bosses (except in the mobile game, which features recolored versions of Manticore and Alraune under different names), and so Fenrir was given a new design when the series moved to 3D models for enemies.

* PermanentlyMissableContent: All of the bosses in Gladsheim can only be fought once until NewGamePlus. This presents a problem with the only one that's also a FlunkyBoss, Queen Bee: killing it without defeating at least one of the Noble Bees assisting it (the fight ends the instant the boss dies) leads to missing out on an entry in the Monstrous Codex. This is admittedly very hard to do by accident, as Queen Bee sits in the back row and gets its evasion constantly buffed until the two Noble Bees are killed.
