* The Cathedral of The Sacred Blood is a giant Labyrinth which has earned a spot as ThatOneLevel on the YMMV page. The Successor of the Ribcage [[spoiler:, Aurora Valentino, may have done this on purpose, in order to help protect Karen, who dwells beneath her crypt and is the source of the Blood Beads helping to sustain the Revenants.]]

* Louis/Rui chooses to be a JackOfAllStats because a leader must be able to adapt and react to any situation. Choosing a more balanced and versatile skill set so he'll be ready for anything.

* Bayonets using ichor instead of regular bullets: Not only would ammunition be difficult to produce in large quantities in the devastated world, they probably wouldn't be powerful enough to do any real damage to creatures like the Lost. Ichor on the other hand can be turned into powerful munitions thanks to the Revenant's powers, is plentiful, can be gained by battling enemies, and would not weigh them down like regular ammo. Making it a perfect alternative.

** Riki's code, Assassin, is a GlassCannon that specializes in sneak attacks and offers large buffs to offense as long as you avoid being hit. Representing how Riki would fight when it suited him, but was always ready to cut his loses and run when things looked bad.
** Yakumo's code, Atlas, focuses on close combat with tremendous physical strength and endurance. The titan Atlas was known for holding the world on his shoulders, and Yakumo is willing to put himself in harms way and endure enormous struggle to protect his friends.
** What did Prometheus steal from the gods to give to humanity? Fire. Now what element does Louis make use of?

** This also gets reflected elsewhere [[spoiler: such as the "Dwellers in the Dark" ending, where Io becomes a tree that helps protect Vein in an identical fashion to Karen becoming the Source of the Blood Beads keeping at least some of the Revenants sane and stable. Or the fact that Karen's attire as a Successor invokes a very similar WomanInWhite role to Io.]]

** [[spoiler:Hades is the god of the underworld, and despite his dubious reputation, was not as bad as he's been made out to be. Silva is a WellIntentionedExtremist whose done a quite a few question things, but ultimately has humanities' best interests at heart.]]

* Oliver Collins is a very strong CrutchCharacter who can kill most early enemies in one or two hits. Is it any wonder he becomes a boss after succumbing to bloodlust and turning into a lost?

Ichor on the other hand can be turned into powerful munition's thanks to the Revenant's powers, is plentiful, can be gained by battling enemies, and would not weight them down like regular ammo. Making it a perfect alternative.

* Io's appearance is ''startlingly'' [[IdenticalStranger similar]] to Karen, Louis' sister. Beyond the obvious color changes and looking more disheveled and {{Stripperific}}, there's arguably a very justified reason for this that the game never touches on: [[spoiler: as the several Attendants are all ArtificialHuman clones made by Cruz specifically to care for the Successors, it's entirely plausible that Cruz modeled all of them after Karen, who specifically was her caretaker during Project Q.U.E.E.N.]]

* TheReveal towards the end of the game that beyond the Gaol of the Mist [[spoiler: lies [[VideoGame/GodEater Aragami]]]] flips the entire plot on its head. [[spoiler: Not only are Aragami canonically a nigh-unstoppable existence of ExtremeOmnivore that can automatically devour whatever they come into contact with, but they can evolve based on that. The Revenants we see victimized turn to dead ash like any other, but if one were to able to genuinely consume a Revenant in whole, ''god only knows'' what might result!]]
** Given the vampiric nature of the Revenants, [[spoiler: even if they somehow bonded with a God Arc or were able to fight an Aragami to a victory, what happens if a Revenant consumed ''Oracle Cells''? Possibly something far, far more dangerous than even what was seen in the game perhaps.]]
** [[spoiler:If Aragami can only be killed by God Arcs, then literally ''everything'' humanity did was AllForNothing. Let that sink in. Everyone who was made a Revenant, or gave up their humanity to become one, to combat them were doomed to failure. Cursed to fight an unending battle they can never win. Dying and reviving endlessly until their hearts are destroyed or they succumb to blood lust and are doomed to spend eternity as a mindless monster.]]
** Jossed, the game mentions in background lore that the Gen One revenants where deployed against and successfully drove out or killed all the "Horrors" in the city and surrounding area. [[spoiler:It's why we never encounter any Aragami in the game, they'd been driven back by the time the Goal of Mists trapped everything inside. There's no telling if this means Revenants are some form of God Eater or if they're own abilities are just effective due to their nature, but they apparently work regardless.]]

** Yakumo's code, Atlas, focuses on close combat with tremendous physical strength and endurance. Yakumo refuses to leave his friends behind and will do anything to protect them. The name it also a reference to the titan Atlas who holds the sky, showing the burden Yakumo carries by striving to protect his friends.

* What Blood Code do you gain from defeating Oliver after he becomes a frenzied lost and looses his mind? Berserker.

* Your checkpoints are ''mistles''. Mistletoe is a parasitic plant that attaches to trees and sucks nutrition out of them. In other words, it's a vampire plant.

* Louis/Rui chooses to be a JackOfAllStats because a leader must be able to adapt and react to any situation. Choosing a more balanced and versatile skill set so he'll be ready for anything.

* The name of the game must be a WordSaladTitle due to the translation, right? Wrong. It's actually a MeaningfulName: the word "vein" is a reference to blood -- which makes perfect sense in a game about vampires.
