* ActionBomb: Dubhe.

* PlayboyBunny: Tico, the female choice for your hero's link to Nicaea, dresses in this fashion.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Jungo loves making and eating chawanmushi almost to the point of it becoming a RunningGag.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Jungo loves making and eating chawanmushi.

* ShoutOut: To MetalGearSolid when Io sneaks in using a box during the mission where you rescue Daichi.

[[DevilSurvivor Like it's predecessor]], compare and contrast ''TheWorldEndsWithYou''. For a similar idea with MurderDotCom, see ''ChaosHead''.

To avoid their fate, the three friends [[DealWithTheDevil sign a pact with "the devil"]] to become three of the thirteen Devil Messengers, gaining the power to bind and summon demons. However, soon afterwards [[TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse Japan is besieged]] by [[EldritchAbomination extraterrestrial invaders]] called the [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Septentrion]], with a new invader arriving on each day of the week. As Devil Messengers, the trio have seven days to defeat all [[GeniusBonus seven Septentrion]] while using Nicaea to avoid their own deaths and prevent the deaths of the other ten Devil Messengers. Aiding them is the JP's ([[GovernmentAgencyOfFiction Japan Meteorological Agency, Geomagnetism Research Department]]), a government organization who lead the attacks against the Septentrion yet seem to have [[GovernmentConspiracy their own hidden agenda]] regarding the unfolding events.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: [[spoiler:It's implied this is the reason that the Septentrion act the way they do is that they don't recognize humans as being sapient. Alcor, having a human form, can, which is why you can ally with him.]]

* DissonantSerenity: The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2P0CYZIqAY&feature=related Septentrion theme]] certainly gives off this vibe.

* EldritchAbomination: The Septentrion, what with being completely inhuman, demon-spawning, [[ThemeNaming named after]] [[StellarName the stars of the Big Dipper]], and designed by Mohiro Kitoh, no less. [[spoiler:Except Alcor. It's also implied the reason he's so benign compared to the others is that he ''can'' understand humans, and thus feels guilt if he hurts them.]]
* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler: The Melancholy Man/Alcor]]

** The Septentrion have been oft compared to the [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Angels]]; [[spoiler:one of them is even a WhiteHairedPrettyBoy]].

* MultipleEndings: Like the first game in the series, there are multiple routes. This time the routes include [[spoiler: Ronaldo (Law Ending), Yamato (Chaos Ending), Daichi (With three endings, two neutral ones and one 'true ending'), and the Gloomy One (A very strange, more Neutral ending)]]

* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: [[spoiler: The Gloomy One. He feels that humans are too controlled and wishes to bring freedom back to the world. However, being that he is a Septentrion, he comes off as a villain, and in four of the five routes, you and your party kill him. However, on his route, he becomes the essence of the new world, and becomes a god that loves and respects humans.]]
* PlayboyBunny: Tiko, the female choice for your hero's link to Nicaea, dresses in this fashion.

* RealitySubtext: The plot opens with Japan getting hit with a powerful and destructive earthquake, and the damage only persists as the Septentrion invade...

** [[spoiler: Not only that, but the whole purpose of the Septentrion are to destroy and recreate the world. They have apparently destroyed and recreated the world numerous times.]]

* ThePowerOfFriendship: Similar to social links in ''Persona 3'' and ''Persona 4'', this game will have the 'Enishi System' which allows you to form bonds with other Devil Messengers, which in turn helps them unlock new elemental strengths, special abilities, and new demons.

** Subverted by Jo, who joins the group not too long after they summon their demons, and acts as a fourth to the group even though he was mostly excluded in all the promotional material for the game.
* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Yamato, Keita, and The Melancholy Man/Gloomy One.
* WingdingPupils: The female Tiko has white stars in her eyes, while the male Tiko has none.

* YourDaysAreNumbered: Every day starting on Sunday one Septentrion attacks Japan. Because the alien invaders are named after the stars in the Big Dipper constellation, Hinako speculates that there will be a total of seven Septentrion, with the attacks lasting a week. And according to Yamato the Septentrion have the ability to destroy the entire world.

* YourDaysAreNumbered: There are seven days in the game, and if you don't do something by the end of the week, ''all of the world could possibly be destroyed''.

New features include a "Double Extra" turn that grants you a second additional action if you hit a weakness during an Extra Turn, race-specific skills, and a [[{{Level Up At Intimacy 5}} relationship]] system (similar to the Social Link system in ''{{Persona 3}}'' and ''{{Persona 4}}'') that allows you to bond with the other Devil Messengers.

* ThePowerOfFriendship: Similar to social links in Persona 3 and Persona 4, this game will have the 'Enishi System' which allows you to form bonds with other Devil Messengers, which in turn helps them unlock new elemental strengths, special abilities, and new demons.

One ordinary Sunday TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, [[HelloInsertNameHere a]] [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent high school senior]] and [[ThreeAmigos two of his classmates]] are headed back home after a mock exam session. But their trip home takes a grim turn when they each receive a email on their phones from [[MurderDotCom Nicaea]], a "dead face delivery site" (in beta) supposedly able to show the user a photo depicting the death of any person typed into its search engine; however, it is dismissed as a hoax due to the inscrutable quality of the results.

''Devil Survivor 2'' provides examples of:

* ImprobableAge: At a mere 17 years, Yamato serves as the director and leader of JP's. Partly {{Justified}} with the explanation that command of the group has been passed down through his family for generations, and they were the ones who ''founded'' it.
