Added DiffLines:

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Thanks to the protagonist having no CanonName, players can name him however they want, which confuses Nozomi since he and Chiyo have different family names. She still says this even if players have the player's family name be the same as Chiyo's.

* BrilliantButLazy: Those of the Sloth Authority tend to be highly intelligent, analytical, and have an impeccable sense of strategy... which they use to defeat their opponents in the fastest way possible with the least amount of moves, because they don't want to spend any more energy or time than strictly necessary. In-game, this is represented by their having high critical and evasion chance.



* EarlyGameHell: The game hampers you in several ways in the first few hours. You only have access to the Protagonist and Nozomi, and though the latter will eventually become an impressive tank, she's extremely fragile starting out. You only have one Fiend of one Authority, whose usefulness is entirely dependent on whether you [[GuideDangIt knew how to answer the beginning psych test or not]]. You only have access to 3 unit slots and cannot create new Fiends. You have only a small handful of recovery items to choose from. You barely do much damage while your enemies are oftentimes taking huge chunks out of yours, even ''without'' criticals. And don't even think about getting consistent S ranks, without many of the abilities and set-ups required to chain Resonances, Critical Hits, and follow-ups, much more the raw damage output to finish within par number of turns.

Added DiffLines:

* CharacterClass: Legions from a specific Authority trend towards certain weapons, fighting styles, and status effects. For some examples:
** '''Pride''' Legions favor pole weapons and specialize in Poison.
** '''Sloth''' Legions, ironically, are incredibly evasive and have high critical rates. Presumably, this is because they want to do the least amount of work possible in combat.
** '''Lust''' Legions favor ranged weapons, the Charm effect that turns enemies against their allies, and Fire-based projectile attacks and [=AoE=] spells--"burning passion", if you will.

Good luck figuring out how the answers to the 15 question psych test are weighted and what series of answers for the "psych tests" will get you the results you want!

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: As a result of Kurama's [[spoiler:Authority, he has brainwashed the students into becoming a happy, mindless cult praising him, his guidance, and removing their pesky "free will".]] He tries to pull this on [[spoiler:the Protagonist]] but thankfully, fails.
* ButThouMust: The game offers up choices from time to time, where you have to select one to proceed. However, oftentimes, there will only be 1 choice as doing anything else would prevent you from proceeding in the game, from an in-universe standpoint, or three different opportunities to say "No".
* CastFromHitPoints: Physical attacks and some Authorities (magic spells) are cast from your HP.
* CastFromSanity: Authorities (magic spells) oftentimes raise your character's Madness, putting them at risk of going into a SuperpoweredEvilSide and attacking friend and foe alike indiscriminately.



* SanityMeter: The Madness gauge. Using certain skills increases the gauge and boosts your abilities, but if it hits max, the characters will go berserk and cannot be controlled.

Good luck managing them both and keeping one from spilling over prematurely, though!
