* NoPronunciationGuide: {{Averted|Trope}}. The website for the game has an official pronunciation guide. When half the names are foreign, this is certainly helpful.

Luchs Eduard is the proprietor of an inn on the outskirts of Lunéville on Étoile Island clinging to a code of honor passed down from father to son for generations: "When our cherished guests finally arrive, think of them as nothing less than family." However, due to the island's strict policy of isolationism, the inn has had no visitors since its founding. Thus, Luchs is forced to mine for [[MineralMacguffin crystals]], an extremely valuable resource due to it's [[AppliedPhlebotinum immense utility]], to sell in order to make ends meet. During one of his routine excavations, Luchs stumbles upon an amnesiac girl encased inside a massive crystal, and her abrupt awakening triggers a series of unexpected events that include foul fiends, astonishing abilities, and various other mysteries.

* AttackOfTheTownFestival: [[spoiler: At the end of the game, a festival is held to celebrate your characters heroism. This happens to be the setting in which Kaiser stages his final battle.]]
* AwesomeButImpractical: High-Tier Tension Skills as most skirmishes will end long before a character has a chance to charge more than 100 Tension. It also varies by character as some are lucky to be able to hit more than 1-2 enemies per attack to build their Tension.

* CrystalDragonJesus: It's hard to tell whether or not the God in this game-who has at least one saint and is part of a monotheistic religion-is this trope or the actual Christian God. [[spoiler: The fact that he has literally been split into crystals and given birth to goddesses should {{subvert|edTrope}} this trope, but it's presented in a fashion that does not disavow the possibility. Later on, though, Luchs becomes God, so if there is ever a sequel this trope would be played straight.]]

* OurGodsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:The girls are actually goddesses. Are they greater? They're certainly powerful and actual children of THE {{God}}, but they're otherwise they're like normal humans.]] They're also called at a few points throughout the game as [[OurFairiesAreDifferent fairies]].
* PiecesOfGod: [[spoiler: The crystals are in fact, what of God remains after [[BigBad Kaiser]] tapped into his power.]]

* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: In the first chapter, we already know the true identity of the girls: [[spoiler: goddesses who fought the humans of the world in a long, long war.]]
