* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:It's not clear whether it was the protagonist or their future self who remains in the past with Adine in her good ending, only that one of the two does.]]

* MaybeEverAfter: [[spoiler:Adine's]] Good Ending ends on this note. Nothing overtly romantic happens, but [[spoiler:both the protagonist and their temporal duplicate comment they'd love nothing more than to stay with Adine and one version of them ''does''. The ending scene is of the two seemingly living together and taking care of Amely, but it's never confirmed or denied they're together and could still be read as entirely platonic.]]



* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: [[spoiler: Izumi brutally makes sure of it, each time you restart Izumi kills off the original ambassador that would normally come in that timeline (sometimes it was you sent as the ambassador, other times someone else depending on what happened before the selection of ambassador), all so that you can take the place of that timeline's ambassador and have another chance to set things right.]]

* WhamEpisode:
** Chapter 3: [[spoiler:If not prevented, Anna is murdered by Reza. The portal is broken, trapping the protagonist in the dragon world, and it's revealed the human world was [[AfterTheEnd ruined by a massive solar flare]] and slowly dying.]]
** Chapter 4: [[spoiler:Bryce, who's basically been the BigGood of the game up until this point, can potentially be killed off. Should the player have not befriended them, Lorem dies offscreen, and the Administrator finally meets the protagonist face to face and explains the portal is effectively a TimeMachine and the dragon world was EarthAllAlong, just 65 million years in the past. The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs is on its way and if not avoided, the dragons will be extinct.]]

Added DiffLines:

* TimeMachine: [[spoiler:The portal was meant to travel through space, but something went wrong and sent the facility 65 million years into the past instead. By the time the portal was completed on their end the one in the far future had been destroyed by the solar flare, and due to SanDimasTime, the only way to fix it would be to remove its safety to avoid it. After its limiter was turned off, it could be used as a proper time machine and link to any past or future version of itself, which allows the protagonist to return to the past in a GroundhogDayLoop.]]

However, since players have to replay the game multiple times to get the True Ending, they will see the word at least five or six more times, 13 at the most.

* MotiveRant: [[spoiler:Reza delivers it to your hero during the climax in nearly every playthrough]] -- it can get tedious after playing the game multiple times. That said, if you [[spoiler:unlock enough of the endings]], at some point the protagonist will essentially say "screw this, we're not going through that again" and tell [[spoiler:Reza]] to get down to brass tacks already.



* MoreInsultingThanIntended: Bryce and his friends tend to poke fun at each other when hanging out. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, everybody has gotten so used to his alcoholism that they don't mind making fun of it. This makes Bryce feel like he can't be honest about any of his problems, because he thinks he'll just be mocked.]]
