If in the English way, "Cris Tales", it references the protagonist Crisbell and [[spoiler: the many tales about her and her AlternativeSelf, the Time Empress, thanks to time travel.]] If written in the Spanish way (the game being developed by a Colombian studio), "Cristales", it talks about the time crystals that empower Crisbell and how they're the core mechanic of the game.

* CentralTheme: The damage caused by fixating on only one point in time. Nearly every villain spreads misery as a result of them being unable to see the full spectrum of time, either undoing the advancements of the present to capture their nostalgia of the past, solely focusing on prospering in the present even as their decisions bring ruin to the future, or sacrificing the livelihood of the people in the present to prepare for the future.

* BossInMooksClothing: The Trifly Royalty, who can show up in random encounters if you fail to destroy them in their cocoon form quickly enough, is more of a GlassCannon example of this trope. They don't have as much health as some other enemies, but their attack patterns are not dissimilar to how the actual bosses fight, which is to say that they love disabling party members. They are fast enough to have multiple turns in quick succession, and they use these turns to spam unblockable poison and stun spells that ensure you'll be burning through resources.

* RiddleForTheAges: For reasons never explained, the Trifly and Triggot Creeper are completely immune to being scanned, leaving their very nature a complete mystery.

* EarlyGameHell: After the tutorial, newbies to the RPG genre are in for a rude awakening. Your characters are extremely limited in their attack and support options at the start, even healing items are fairly expensive given how little money enemies drop, and enemies do a considerable amount of damage even when you're guarding, with the early enemies even capable of inflicting nasty status effects like paralysis and poison. Things do start to balance out as your party gains new abilities after a few level-ups, and the enemies start providing stronger monetary rewards.

** The Cinder region derives from Tolima, a department (region) of Colombia that's home to Nevado del Ruiz, the country's most dangerous volcano, though not the most active. Ceniza is this game's counterpart to Armero, a town that got flooded in molten-hot lahars flowing down from Nevado del Ruiz and killed over three quarters of its population, reflecting Ceniza still being in ruins and its people nearly wiped out. The city of Cinder, meanwhile, analogizes to Ibagué, the capital of Tolima Department; the city is in the figurative crosshairs of Nevado del Ruiz, reflecting Cinder's volcano erupting and devastating the town. Tolima is home to the Panche people, who have long been at armed conflict with the Muisca, just as how Cinderians (the race) and the bird people of Neva Tulira don't get along.

** Narim's basis is Villavicencio, an agricultural town that in later decades blossomed into an industrial center, similar to the track Narim is heading. Villavicencio, however, is best known to Colombians as a major battle site of ''La Violencia'', a civil war in the 1940s to 1950s, paralleling the Volcano Sisters' invasion of Narim. Villavicencio is also home to Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral, just as Narim has its own major cathedral in the area, with both sharing architectural styles and a very pale color scheme.

It is also located in the district of Nariño, which sounds similar to "Narim."
