* NoPronunciationGuide[=/=]SpellMyNameWithAnS: A bizarre inversion.

Then there's also Surge (''Sadge'' which would've been ''Sage'').

Thus, the 3DS version was stowed away behind the console's regionlock while the UsefulNotes/{{PS3}} port saw some overseas interest. Nowadays, since the regionlock can be easily removed, the game is accessible for western players, but its LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters and lots of exposition intimidate players away from it.

Thus, the 3DS version was stowed away behind the console's regionlock while While the UsefulNotes/{{PS3}} port saw some version is untranslated, it gained overseas interest. Nowadays, since interest thanks to the regionlock console's lack of region lock.

* FireIceLightning: The elements in the TacticalRockPaperScissors triangle of the game.



* GatlingGood: Snow Pirates deploy multiple versions of a MightyGlacier gunner enemy with a minigun in his hands. On your side, Max uses one, and Bren can get his hands on two of these - the AwesomeButImpractical [[IncendiaryExponent Fire Gatling]] and its somewhat weaker but way more accurate sibling, the [[KillItWithIce Ice Gatling]].



** Many mission titles are in transliterated English (e.g. "Back To Basics" in Chapter 4). Additionally, each chapter has a dual title - an English exclamation and a Japanese subtitle.



* HeroOfAnotherStory: What Walter does after his dramatic scene [[spoiler: when he departs in his VS for Advance Base at the end of Chapter 3]] and before his return is... What, exactly?



* MyCountryRightOrWrong: For a host of reasons including Bren's affiliation, [[spoiler: his {{Rival}} Chris]] does not participate in [[spoiler: the student rebellion in Chapter 4]].



* NoCutsceneInventoryInertia: Since half the cutscenes are pre-rendered, they and most of the in-engine ones always show Bren in his default orange jacket and using his starting SMG.



* TacticalRockPaperScissors: All attacks have an element. Your primary weapons are "untyped", and have no bonuses applied, but your secondary weapons can have the fire, ice or electricity element. Ice beats fire, fire beats electricity, electricity beats ice. Foes and allies alike are resistant or outright immune to their own element, while Bren starts out with zero resistances which can be upgraded.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Yes, the Fire Gatling looks cooler than the Ice Gatling and does more base damage. It also can't hit the broad side of a barn at point blank range.



* BoringButPractical: Your starting SMG is sufficient to complete the entire game without much difficulty. Pair it with the shotgun and you're pretty much set against practically every threat - but will it look cool?
* BossSubtitles: Used to introduce every boss, naturally, but also every story-relevant character (so Surge and Yuna don't get these, for example).



** Another frequent one is Diana, with her "Boy!" or "Boys!". [[spoiler: She calls Walter "Old Boy" several times.]]

* CelShading: Using both techniques - models are rendered with procedurally-painted outlines that change as a character's position changes in relation to the camera - but also many characters' textures already have cross-hatching shading and other artistic flourishes baked into their textures.
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: Diana sheds her teacher outfit in favour of a combat suit in this manner [[spoiler: when NEVEC Academy troops storm Advance Base]].



* LagCancel: Normally, Bren staggers for a bit when exiting a rocket dash. However, time the primary fire button right, and he will do a stun shot (complete with a SuperMovePortraitAttack animation) that lets him do other things sooner.

The game is renowned for two things: a [[YoungerAndHipper marked departure from the games it was spun off of]], both in terms of [[CelShaded style]] and gameplay, and for being a crazy case of NoExportForYou by being the best ThirdPersonShooter on the {{3DS}}, utilizing the underused Circle Pad Pro attachment and not being released outside of Japan mainly due to "[[http://www.siliconera.com/2012/12/10/e-x-troopers-not-planned-for-western-release-say-capcom-usa/ the amount of effort required to translate the cutscenes equal to remaking them from scratch]]".

Thus, the {{3DS}} version was stowed away behind the console's regionlock while the {{PS3}} port saw some overseas interest.
