''Blue Reflection'' is a {{JRPG}} developed by Creator/GustCorporation, creators of the ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'' series, and published by Creator/KoeiTecmo. Set in a Japanese all-girl's school, Hinako Shirai is a high school student and Ballet dancer who seriously injured her leg in a car accident. One year later she returns to school and meets a former classmate who is so happy to see Hinako, her emotions go berserk and Hinako is transported to a realm known as the Common.

There she meets the sisters Yuzuki and Lime who offer her the chance to become a Reflector, a magical girl who fights back against the Sephira, monsters that feed on human emotion. At first she is skeptical but when she is told that defeating the Sephira will grant her one wish she decided to help so she can heal her injured leg and return to ballet.

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Daath wants to assimilate humanity into one being, but this is entirely due to their weakening bonds meaning he might not be able to defeat the other Sephira next time the battle royale starts, which would result in humanity's destruction, something he genuinely doesn't want, and believes it will be happier for humanity this way. He's also entirely polite and spends most of the final battle ''complimenting'' the heroes and is genuinely proud of them when they win. It's notable as while he says he made the world hospitable to humanity to power him up, he also genuinely considers them precious to him and part of his reason for his plan is so he can protect them from his kin.]]
* AssimilationPlot: One particular Sephirot has this as its objective [[spoiler:as humanity's weakening bonds means that it itself is weakening]].

* BigBadEnsemble: The Sephira are in competition with each other in a battle royale where the winner can rule the world, though they're never seen fighting each other directly. If any of them other than [[spoiler:Daath]] win, humanity will end due to the winner remaking reality in their image, which won't include humanity. However, [[spoiler:Daath]] plans on [[AssimilationPlot assimilating all human consciousness]] to [[WellIntentionedExtremist protect them from the other Sephira]], making them an antagonist too.

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: All of the Sephira's goals. The winner of their fights [[spoiler:gets to remake the world as they see fit]], and it's implied it's happened a lot in prehistory.
* EldritchAbomination: The Sephira.

* HoldTheLine: Technically, all the Reflectors have to do is prevent the Sephira from actually making it to the school [[spoiler:and killing the Common]]; though that's unsustainable in the long run, hence the need to actually kill them.

** Unless you're a Reflector, generally the only hint someone's going rampant is abnormal behavior. While in the Common or fighting Sephira, time completely stops. In addition, people can only go rampant within the bounds of a singularity (i.e. the school), hiding it further.

* JumpedAtTheCall: Hinako only gets seriously motivated when she hears the defeating the Sephira will grant a wish. She wants to heal her leg so she can return to ballet.

* PointOfNoReturn: Two of them. The first one is once you report your final mission status in Chapter 10 to Lime and Yuzu, as the story will automatically progress from there, so you can't farm for item creation parts or raise your relationships. And you won't know this right away because the game won't tell you. The second is just before you leave for the final Sephiroth battle, where the game gives you a notice saying this is your last chance to equip Fragments before you head out.
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: [[spoiler: Yuzu and Lime are artificial reflectors, having gained their powers through their father's scientific experiments. Now they're dead and unable to move on to their next reincarnation until the Sephira are properly slain.]]

** [[spoiler:Daath mentions that Sephira might reform in the future for another battle royale.]]

There's a [[Characters/BlueReflection character page]], due to the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters in the game.

* {{Fanservice}}: Although not directly the focus of the game, it's incredibly unsubtle how much the skirt and JigglePhysics go about with the likelihood of a PantyShot. Rainy days invoke the SexySoakedShirt, and DLC and unlockable costumes only emphasize this more, right down to running around in a ''ModestyTowel.''

* AnimalMotif: Almost all of Lime's attack have an animal in the name.

* ThemeNaming: True to the what the main monsters are called, they're all named after the sephirot from the Jewish tree of life.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: [[spoiler:Exactly how antagonistic Daath actually is isn't clear. Despite his stated goal of assimilating humanity into one being to preserve his power, he's perfectly fine with the heroes standing against him despite acknowledging they're a genuine threat to him, spends the entire fight ''complimenting'' them, and when defeated congratulates them. Notably, he says they 'reflect him,' which implies this might have been what he wanted.]]

* FakeLongevity: If taking out the long animations, and the bonding scenes with other characters, the game isn't that long compared to other games.

* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Well, we are talking about high school girls here. Par for the course.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Played with. [[spoiler:Daath, the Sephira who created humanity, wants to assimilate all human consciousness to compensate for their weakening bonds. While part of this is self-service to gain enough emotional power to defeat the other Sephirot, Daath believes this plan is still beneficial to humanity as a whole so they can cope with their tragedies.]]
