* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The "Try Your Luck" Nozomi card and its accompanying side story reference gambling in UsefulNotes/LasVegas. The legal age to gamble in U.S. casinos is 21. Nozomi is ''17''. Underage gambling, anyone? However, she ''does'' mention in the side story that she's not really in Las Vegas and that despite wishing she could go there, only grown-ups are allowed.

* PromotionalPowerlessPieceOfGarbage: Zigzagged with promotional [=SRs=] and [=URs=]. On the one hand, their stats and center skills are much weaker than those of regular [=SRs=] and [=URs=], and the illustration can sometimes be rather [[OffModel wonky or unsettling]]. On the other hand, because they share center skills with [=Rs=], it's easy to level those skills up with any R that matches the skill (as opposed to [=SRs=] and [=URs=], which have uniquely named skills and thus require an exact copy of the card to level those up), and they come pre-idolized, making farming kizuna with the card and getting that free Loveca a breeze.

Promo cards were given extra power in the "Cheer Formation" feature added to events ''much'' later in the game's run, but a lot of players had practised away the cards by that point after years of them uselessly clogging up their inventory. (And by that point, most of the playerbase had abandoned ''SIF'' for ''[[VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestivalAllStars SIFAS]]'' anyway.)

* ButNotTooBlack: All of the international idols the game introduces are either white or light-skinned Asian. Rakshata, an Indian girl and initially the darkest at a very pale brown, has been whitewashed more and more over the years to the point that her most recent cards just make her look a lightly sunburned pink.

An arcade spin-off known as ''Love Live! School idol festival ~after school ACTIVITY~'' was released in 2016. ''SIF AC'' features the same core gameplay as the original game, but also introduces systematic and aesthetic expansions such as full 3D CGI performances to accompany gameplay and a physical card system in which the player can collect cards and use them with the game to alter gameplay and performances. It uses Creator/{{Taito}}'s [=NESiCA=] cards and infrastructure to allow players to save their play data. During the "Aqours ONLINE Love Live! ~Lost World~" concert in October of 2020, it was announced that the ''Next Stage'' version of ''after school ACTIVITY~'' will be receiving an Main/ArcadePerfectPort in the form of ''Love Live! School idol festival ~after school ACTIVITY: Wai Wai! Home Meeting!!~'' which will be released for the UsefulNotes/Playstation4. This iteration of the game will also be the first SIFAC title to be released outside of Japan, with an English localization (no doubt due to the global success of other games in the Love Live! franchise) being confirmed to be in development, announced alongside the Japanese version.

* NotTheIntendedUse: Rhythmic Carnival is a collaborative score attack mode where up to 100 players work together and share Skills to reach (or exceed by up to a factor of 10) a target score, with rewards scaling up accordingly. Many players, however, take advantage of the fact that it can be played without spending LP for various other purposes, whether it be grinding towards Max Bond, practicing higher difficulties or tricky songs, or simply spamming emotes.

Added DiffLines:

* VideoGameCaringPotential: The emote system primarily consists of supportive messages, which is not only good for spamming character catchphrases, but also for sending positive vibes to others. Players in the collaborative Rhythmic Carnival mode will commonly use the "Thank you" emotes or Eli's "Good job, everyone!" even when the result is a low percentage flop.

to:

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Master mode introduces a new Swipe beat, in which you have to glide your finger across a string of notes in a row. Not only does this run counter to one's usual instinct of individually hitting every beat in such a sequence like a player would in lower-level beatmaps, but chances are, they would have been trained to relegate each half of the screen to one hand. Many Swipe patterns go against this by requiring you to sweep across the full screen. Suffice to say, getting used to Swipe is a learning curve in itself.
