* BonusBoss: [[spoiler: The Colossal, Armored, and Beast Titans]] are exclusive to the optional Epilogue Missions rather than the main game.

* TheAce: The PlayerCharacter is often described as this. No matter how good or bad you do in training, you're mentioned as being on par with the top performers in the Cadet Corps, though due to plot reasons you cannot place in the top 10. A lot of characters will express surprise at this, some even explicitly saying that you should have placed. [[spoiler: The ending lends further credence to this in your character's OffscreenMomentOfAwesome as they jump into a horde of pursuing Titans so that the heroes can escape to safety as you fight alone. TheStinger hints you survived this encounter, something not even the most experienced veterans couldn't do.]]

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: The player can [[SparedByTheAdaptation save characters who died in canon]] in special missions.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Bertholdt's, Reiner's, and the Beast Titan's raid to steal the crystallized Annie is foiled, and the Survey Corps gets Annie back, but the Player Character [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices themselves]] to [[HoldTheLine hold off a pursuing horde of Titans]] so that the others may escape, leaving the Survey Corps shocked and devastated from their loss. Eren, however, [[TragicKeepsake keeps the Player Character's journal,]] and after reading it, is only further resolved to take back Shinganshina and defeat the Armored Titan...[[TrueCompanions for all four of them now.]]]]

* StoryAndGameplaySegregation: Clearing the main campaign unlocks Titan Shifting powers for Eren, Bertholdt, Annie, Reiner and Ymir, that replaces their usual attacks when squadded up, leading to situations where the Armored or Colossal Titan show up willingly to fight on the humans' side.

** In the source material, Eren took a [[RunningGag notoriously]] long time to actually kill a Titan using the 3DM gear and, even then, his combat skills with the 3DM are considered middling at best and he's most useful in his Titan form. In this game, he kills dozens if not ''hundreds'' of Titans on his own.

** [[spoiler:Like with Eren above, the other titan shifters can be played in their titan forms this time around. The sole exception being the Colossal Titan who instead just an attack]].

* DifficultySpike: Once you get the hang of the controls, the game is pretty easy...until you get to the first five-star Survey mission, and the Titans get faster, stronger and can actually take more then one hit to the nape...several more, in fact. You may even die for once!

* DeadpanSnarker: You have the option to make your character say some rather absurd things during cutscenes...

* UnexpectedCharacter: With a whopping ''thirty-seven'' playable characters, this is bound to happen. Bet you never thought you'd see an Attack on Titan game with a playable [[spoiler: Carla Yeager.]]

* LightningBruiser: Mikasa and Levi are fast, agile, and extremely strong. Mikasa has the ability to rapidly strike the same target multiple times, which other characters have to upgrade their gear to do, while Levi has a single special strike that is strong enough to instantly kill most titans. Not to mention that he later gets Mikasa's chain attack, he even gets another ability that improves on it, turning him into an absolute butcher.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: Some of the scenes the games re-enact are noticeably less gory than the source material; for example, when Eren gets his leg bitten off, there's only a small splash of blood, and you never actually see the bloody stump.

* DeadlyEuphemism: You don't ''kill'' Titans, you ''subjugate''' them.
