* NamesTheSame:
** wacca, the artist for the song art for "Libertas", is not to be confused with [[VideoGame/{{WACCA}} a certain Marvelous AQL rhythm game]].
** Hikari is both the name of one of the main characters and a ''VideoGame/ToneSphere'' song that was crossed over into this game.

** When the story was first localized into Chinese, Active Gaming Media was initially not credited with the translation. As [=YamiNa=] remained the sole creditee of the Chinese localization, he ended up receiving much of the backlash instead.

** When the story was first localized into Chinese, Active Gaming Media was initially not credited with the translation.

** When viewing the song packs, World Extend is listed as "free." This is not entirely true since it ''was'' free during its original unlock period, but has since cost 700 memories in order to play.

* NamesTheSame: wacca, the artist for the song art for "Libertas", is not to be confused with [[VideoGame/{{WACCA}} a certain Marvelous AQL rhythm game]].

** [=YamiNa=], who spearheaded the Chinese localization for the story and revised a lot of the parts that were initially not well-translated by Active Gaming Media, was left out of the version 4.0 ending credits due to the CreativeDifferences between him and the rest of lowiro.

* LyingCreator: The game's description on Google Play and on the Apple App Store states that you can play anywhere and anytime without restriction or an Internet connection. While the game can be indeed played offline, doing so locks the player out of using Partners (and thus Skills), buying or spending Memories, and playing World Mode.

* TroubledProduction: There was a fair bit of kerfluffle when it came to the Chinese localization of the game involving the way the story was translated involving outsourcing the translation to a third-party group but without being fully upfront about this, a lot of backlash over the localization that was [[{{Misblamed}} misdirected]] at the [=YamiNa=], translation lead, who was not being paid fully for their work while being made to meet extremely strict deadlines to revise the translations on their own terms. Eventually, the matter was considered settled by [=YamiNa=] received the remaining payment owed.

** The song "Singularity" by ETIA. shares the same name with a song by Music/{{Vocaloid}} producer keisei. This actually created a problem when the former was crossed over into ''VideoGame/GrooveCoaster'', due to the latter song already being in the game; the problem was fixed by renaming the newer song as "Singularity -Binary Enfold-", referring to the ''Arcaea'' DLC pack it was introduced in. "Singularity" is also the name of an ''O.N.G.E.K.I.'' song by technoplanet, and unlike with the ''GC'' collab, ''no'' renaming was done when ETIA's song was crossed over to that game.

** The official Discord server bans the posting of media that contains game assets within the server (but of course outside the server they can't do anything about it). Doing this is often met with a post deletion and an "R4" reply from the server mods.

** Zigzagged when it comes to creating fan-made ''Arcaea'' charts. The developers put out a statement clarifying that they don't mind people making fanmades, so long as they're not for existing ''Arcaea'' songs and the software used to run these charts doesn't use copyrighted assets from the game (visual assets, code, etc). However, discussion of fanmade charts is still banned in the official Discord server.
*** It can be argued that this is to avoid putting fanmades directly in the view of the charting team, as if an official chart ends up copying a fanmade, accidentally or on purpose, it could potentially be seen as plagiarism... and it's hard to imagine ANYBODY wanting to litigate THAT nonsense. This is somewhat supported by several charters mentioning, when this statement came out, that they don't look at fanmades.

* FanNickname:
** Rapid Sky Notes in the same position, usually called "jackhammers" in RhythmGame jargon, are often called "trains" due to looking like trains or train tracks. [[VideoGame/GrooveCoaster "DX Choseinou Full Metal Shojo"]] is perhaps best known for this, as the segments with these "trains" sound like literal trains.
** "Axium Crisis", shortened to AC, is sometimes called "Air Conditioner".
** "PRAGMATISM" gets the rather...''interesting'' nickname of "Pregg".
** [[VideoGame/{{CHUNITHM}} Nono]] gets referred to as "Scam-chan" because in this game, [[spoiler:her advertised Skill of awarding ''2525'' Fragments on an EX grade is negated by her 0.5 Frag stat that reduces the reward to 25 Fragments, something that is not informed in-game until you unlock her]].
** "#[=1f1e33=]" is often referred to as "Iffy".
*** It's also sometimes referred to as "Jaguar", due to community members misinterpreting the hex code in the title as a different, sorta-similar-sounding one. In truth, they weren't even that close... but the nickname stuck in some circles.
** The yellow Arc Notes that replace purple ones when ColorblindMode is on are sometimes referred to as "piss arcs".

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros:

* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: The Sunset Radiance folder consists of songs that won a song submission contest. Another contest was hosted for 2020.

** The ''VideoGame/{{ONGEKI}}'' collab marks the international debut of four songs from that game, as well as the characters Luna (not to be confused with this game's Luna) and Mia.

* NamesTheSame:
** wacca, the artist for the song art for "Libertas", is not to be confused with [[VideoGame/{{WACCA}} a certain Marvelous AQL rhythm game]].
** More or less invoked with the ''O.N.G.E.K.I.'' collab, which crosses over ''another'' character named Luna, and vice versa.

* UncreditedRole: The game normally has some sort of chart designer credit for each combination of song and difficulty. Sometimes the chart credit is something specific to the song without giving any sort of hint to the charter's identity. However the charts for "Solitary Dream" do not have any sort of credit whatsoever.

** The ''maimai'' collaboration introduces "April showers" and "AMAZING MIGHTYYYY!!!!" to Western markets. "Oshama Scramble!" had previously made its global debut in ''VideoGame/CytusII'' as part of a separate ''maimai'' collab, while "7thSense" technically made its U.S. debut in 2016 when ''maimai [=PiNK=] PLUS'' was location-tested there.
