History YMMV / LuxPain

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: There are ''a lot'' moments in the game due to tragic events happening shortly after a heartwarming or funny conversation. Many of them are invoked tropes.

* WhatAnIdiot: Akira on multiple occasions.
** When there is someone that has an obvious crush on your dad and you tell him to confess his feelings for him, you don't ask the main character, "What's wrong with him?"
*** Let's just say he was shocked when he realized that that same person was gay...and it was obvious to everyone.

** In Mika's dating game, if you talk to Inagaki and he mentions Kagami, Mika recalls the conversation she had with him a few days prior. [[TheyReallyDoLoveEachOther She tells Kagami to be careful when he's doing his job]] because she didn't want him to be killed. [[FoeYay Kagami brushes it off and calls her an idiot for worrying.]] She retaliates by [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating the living shit out of him]] and its created as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}. [[spoiler: In episode 19, he's found dead in the graveyard.]]

* FoeYay: Liu and Hibiki.

* MemeticMolester: [[spoiler: Edward. Just Edward.]] Remember what happened to Shinji? [[spoiler: How they found him curled in a ball and shaking?]] You got to wonder...
** With Hibiki. "I didn't realize what I was getting myself into until it was too late." Was he referring to joining PHALANX or something else entirely?
* MindGameShip: It's hinted [[spoiler: Edward manipulated Hibiki into joining PHALANX and is implied to use many different methods to do so.]] He tried doing this to Atsuki, and let's just say, [[LaughingMad it wasn't a good thing...]]

** Hibiki says that [[spoiler:Edward]] was the person that helped him out when he was studying abroad in America. He then tells Ryo that before he knew what had happened, it was too late. [[RapeasDrama This could imply a lot of things...]]

*** In fact, because of Atsuki, Akira has one of the biggest character developments in the series (besides Yayoi). He starts out as a typical punk but once the Silent is removed, he's calmer and is able to think on his own. You see him once per episode game wise and he's always thinking about Atsuki. Heck just say his pick up line is "You're so mysterious." Everyone else will say that to Atsuki once but Akira mentions that multiple times to the point where you got to wonder...

*** The archive scene that explains how Ryo and his manager have a good working relationship and why Hibiki left pretty much sums it up. Hibiki is obviously jealous of Ai going as far to call her cute and attractive. Ryo however takes this as Hibiki being a Casanova. [[spoiler: However, if you pay attention to his overall expression, he is not the least bit happy when he compliments Ai.]] That entire archive, Hibiki feels like he lost to her as she was able to get Ryo to work with customers which is something Hibiki couldn't get him to do. It's to be noted that when Hibiki tells Ryo that he was worried about him, that Ai interrupted him saying how she was worried that Ryo would be locked out of the store. [[spoiler: Ironically, she only knew him from the previous manager, so it's kind of weird how she would know about Ryo's habit if she hasn't met him in person.]]
*** The feelings might not be one sided. Ryo was worried sick for Kiryu who left without saying anything to him. Going as far to call him "too pure" to Atsuki kind of hints at something. And we all know Hibiki is far from being an angel...

** When you read the residential Shinen of [[spoiler: Lt. Tanaka]] the first time, you can hear [[spoiler: him]] CUTTING SOMEONE TO PIECES, you can't help but be grossed out. And it's hinted that when [[spoiler: Lt. Tanaka kidnapped Mika, he stripped her down. Akira's quote of "Why is your scent on Mika's clothes?" doesn't hint at it. Also, reading his jacked up mind is really creepy.]]

* RonTheDeathEater: Akira's dad Kenichi is sometimes portrayed as a villain whenever the story focuses on Akira. It wouldn't be a problem IF THEY DIDN'T MAKE UP AT THE END OF EPISODE 4! People are also forgetting that his father has a soft side for his son and wouldn't treat Akira's friends with disrespect.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: The translation is so sloppy that female characters sometimes get referred to as "he", and visa versa. Poor Mako gets the worst of it; although it's obvious from looking at her that she's a woman, she gets referred to as a guy so many times (especially on Yuzi's BBS) that some players have actually wondered if she was trans.

* TheWoobie: The majority of the cast when you listen to their back story.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: There are ''a lot'' moments in the game due to tragic events happening shortly a heartwarming or funny conversation. Many of them are invoked tropes.

** Hibiki says that [[spoiler:Edward]] was person that helped him out when he was studying aboard in America. He then tells Ryo that before he knew what had happened, it was too late. [[RapeasDrama This could imply a lot of things...]]

*** To add to that, Hibiki's statement and quote on his character page about not being so different from Atsuki has a deeper meaning. While the two had terrible lives growing up, losing everyone close to them and then choosing to live or not has left them both scarred in different ways. (Atsuki became the BrokenBird while Hibiki [[spoiler: crossed the DespairEventHorizon]], bounced back up thanks to Ryo and Honoka and but then went back down). While Hibiki was referring to this, what makes them different is how they see the world. Atsuki, despite his [[TheStoic cold]] front, he still has faith in humanity while Hibiki thinks the exact opposite from the debate the two had. Only after [[spoiler: you save Honoka and Hibiki wakes up]] does Hibiki realize that his way of thinking was wrong and thus when Atsuki writes that Hibiki wants to help people, they think the same way now hence they're NotSoDifferent.

** The [[spoiler: last time]] you talk to Mako, she'll complain to you before talking about Nami and how she compares Atsuki to a cat. Depending on how you respond to her, she'll offer you a [[CrowningMomentofHeartwarming tender conversation]] saying that Kisaragi is his own and how he can rely on her and anyone if he was willing to open up. She's even willing to buy a cup of ramen for him if he dropped by the police station. Shortly after this conversation though [[spoiler: Mako is stabbed protecting Mika and dies in the hospital two days later.]]

** In Mika's dating game, if you talk to Inagaki and he mentions Kagami, Mika recalls the conversation she had with him a few days prior. [[TheyReallyDoLoveEachOther She tells Kagami to be careful when he's doing his job]] because she didn't want him to be killed. [[FoeYay Kagami brushes it off and calls her an idiot for worrying.]] She retaliates by [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating the living shit out of him]] and its created as a {{Crowning Moment of Funny}}. [[spoiler: In episode 19, he's found dead in the graveyard.]]

* AwesomeMusic: The entire Lux Pain soundtrack. The final boss battle theme, Soul Requiem, deserves a special mention.

* RonTheDeathEater: Akira's dad Kenichi is sometimes portrayed as a villain whenever the story focuses on Akira. It wouldn't be a problem [[HateDumb IF THEY DIDN'T MAKE UP AT THE END OF EPISODE 4!]] People are also forgetting that his father has a soft side for his son and wouldn't treat Akira's friends with disrespect.
