* OffModel: [[spoiler:Kaede, the fire Witch from 1000 years ago,]] has an adult combat model with big boobs despite being a girl that likely has yet to even hit puberty.

** Alto, as expected in this kind of game. All of the witches tend to crush on him if you increase their Affinity, and Popo and [[spoiler:Lisette]] both canonically have feelings for him, even if you don't raise their Affinity (which Popo doesn't exactly try to hide). Not to mention [[spoiler:Hilda tends to not be that subtle about her affection for him, even when playing the role of antagonist]]. There's also an event where all of the girls come to his room to spend time with him and Marie. This is taken up to eleven in [[spoiler:Veronica's]] second voiced Free Time event, where she drugs all of the party members (aside from Lisette and [[spoiler:Hilda]]) with a love potion. [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Yes, even the males.]]

** Veronica's dress would be fairly sensible if [[AbsoluteCleavage she ever zipped it up]].

* AbsoluteCleavage: Veronica's dress is zipped all the way down, exposing her full cleavage. Attempted with [[spoiler:Mordimort's goddess form and both of]] Hilda's outfits, but they're both too flat to make it actually work.

** In the present time, after a series of critical events in the last two chapters, culminating with [[spoiler:Marie's abduction]], Alto and his friends resolve to travel to the moon by navigating through one of Yggradil's roots to [[spoiler:kill Mother Qualia for good]]; during their journey, they face strong opposition from the angelic army at key points, which requires defeating them in battle so the characters can finally reach their destination.

* JourneyToTheSky: 1000 years before the events of the game, [[spoiler:Elcrest, Xeno, Dr. Veronica and the witches of that era]] climbed the Yggdrasil to reach the moon in order to meet Mother Qualia, as they aimed to kill her and save humanity. Unbeknownst to them, after reaching the moon, their enemy manifested herself as a little girl who corrupted [[spoiler:Xeno after he put himself in Elcrest's place to save him]]. At his request, the others retreated by returning to Earth, but [[spoiler:Elcrest ended up dying anyway due to his wounds, and wouldn't return to life until 985 years later as Alto, the game's protagonist]]. In the present time, after a series of critical events in the last numbered chapter, Alto and his friends resolve to travel to the moon to [[spoiler:kill Mother Qualia for good]].

* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:The Harbingers. Though Dorothy is completely insane and impossible to judge normally, since her only moral compass is what Hilda wants. Hilda is arguable, as while her intentions were good, she didn't seem to have much issue with the destruction she caused and Dorothy's actions, despite being the only person capable of controlling her.]]

* PoorCommunicationKills: Discussed after TheReveal. Alto brings up the fact that a large part of the conflict and possibly even the entire plot could've been avoided if [[spoiler:Hilda stopped telling people they won't understand what she's doing and actually told them what's happening.]] [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment Fans are very divided about how well the game tries to justify this.]]

* DifficultySpike: Happens towards the end of Chapter 10 where the game begins to throw bosses that are immune to ailments, and thus cannot be stopped with crippling ailments like Stop or Paralysis. Prior to this, one could get by through keeping roughly in-line with the recommended levels and by abusing [[DiscOneNuke Rusty Key]] [[spoiler: or Ice World]], but the sheer strength of the end bosses might force one to stop to level grind.

* OneStatToRuleThemAll: Agility. While practically every character is usable, characters with high Agility like Rusty, Nonoka, and Popo will enjoy more frequent turns, letting them traverse more of the map easily. These high-Agility characters also tend to have the best mobility among the cast and access to some degree of ranged attacks, letting them take down distant enemies before the other ranged specialists get close enough.

* EarthAllAlong: Downplayed. [[spoiler: The era of the Technolomies seems to have things like skyscrapers, radio towers, and airships, but it could easily be taken to be a nondescript advanced Magictech civilization. The only indication that Regnant is on Earth in the distant future is in Dr. Veronica's profile. Her hometown is listed as "London."]]

** At the end of Chapter 9, [[spoiler:Alto goes off to defend the capital on his own from a swarm of angels; later joined by [[BackToBackBadasses Hilda]]. The Harbingers arrive quickly to support him, but the battle remains hopeless until, at a critical moment, the former members of the 9th Regiment show up to lend a hand.]]

** Tuning is presented as a ''very'' intimate act, entering the Witch's heart to overcome her inner weaknesses. Part of what amplifies this lies in the Tuning cutscenes that play when you initiate a Tuning [[note]]You see a bust of Alto and the Witch, then Alto grasps the Qualia that comes from the Witch's back, and the Witch squeals in a way that can only be described as intimate as the game zooms into her eyes[[/note]]. Medea, who operates the Tuning Hall, dresses skimpily and all but flirts with both Alto and the Witches, in addition to insisting that any Witch who needs tuning [[ReadyForLovemaking has to change into a simple, thin white dress before escorting them into the private Tuning chamber, a lounge-like room]]. Sakuya even lampshades the need to change and all during her first Tuning at the Tuning Hall!
