* AntiClimaxBoss: Soltier: In A route, mostly because that route gives you the three characters best at handling him.
* {{Anvilicious}}: Remember, kids, revenge is ''bad''.
* FanonDiscontinuity: They aren't very common, but a few fans out there deny this game because of it's lack of plot until the endings, which ended up rather rushed. The more common variety simply ignore anything that isn't developed by Ito or isn't one of the Dept. Heaven Episodes.
** However, there are also a number of people that prefer the option of choosing a different future for the characters, making it more of a ContestedSequel.
* FanNickname: "So'''baka'''su" for Cerica, and "Kaa-san's kaa-san" for Baretreenu (an extended pun on [[spoiler:Gulcasa]]'s FanNickname, for obvious reasons). Also Tsundereon.
* GameBreaker: The Vise card, which helps in battles even if it isn't used optimally, but basically exists to exploit Garlot's most broken battle effect (Flash Attacks do double to triple the usual damage). [[spoiler:Gulcasa]] is one; [[spoiler:Emilia]] also is, but [[SchmuckBait you don't want to overuse her]].
* HarsherInHindsight: Siskier is terrified of heights and spends the first battlefield in Chapter 2 trying not to panic when traversing the wooden-bridge mountain path to Flarewerk, to the great amusement of all. In one route, [[spoiler:she dies jumping from a high place]].
* HoYay: Garlot and Nessiah.
* IronWoobie: [[spoiler:Garlot/Gulcasa]].
* MemeticBadass: Emilia, due to her new TrueFinalBoss status in route B.
* MemeticMolester: Same character, for the same reasons. It does not help ''at all'' that battle and killing are [[SexIsViolence actually legitimately arousing to people with Brongaa's blood]], that Emilia [[OrgasmicCombat really sounds like she's enjoying herself]], and Creator/AiNonaka is far too skilled an actress for this to have been unintentional.
* {{Moe}}: ''Nearly every party member.''
** Eimi alone will cute your face right off. Luciana, Aegina, Eater, and Nessiah are also ridiculously adorable, and there's a reason why people have taken to miswriting Garlot's CatchPhrase (燃え上がってみせるぜ！) with the wrong kanji for "moe".
** [[http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/258/258604/img.html Leaked screenshots]] seem to suggest that instead of just giving her the prophecy and going on his merry way, Nessiah actually spends some time traveling with Eimi. Prepare for death by cute.
* TearJerker: [[TearJerker/BlazeUnion See here]]; note that spoilers are unmarked.
* ThatOneBoss: Given how badly Nessiah has been {{nerf}}ed and the fact that he doesn't even use [[ThatOneAttack Reincarnation]] the first time you have to fight him, why does he still rate as one of the most difficult bosses of the game? Superior tactics, incessant status effects (when most of your party has low GEN and can't avoid them!), Item Break, and ''blanketing the screen in mooks''.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Poor Garlot. A number of sites still claim that he's a woman, and a lot of fans still wouldn't believe it even after hearing his [[Creator/KosukeToriumi quite masculine voice]].
* TheWoobie: A large percentage of the cast can apply for this position. Take your pick, folks.
