* AdaptationExpansion: ''In Hot Blood'' has the updated LIPS and battle systems from ''Is Paris Burning?'' and ''Fall in Love, Maidens''. It also has an exclusive chapter that was added on for the sole purpose of 1) providing a Kohran-centered chapter which the original version of the game lacked and 2) to provide the Three Star Division pilots who appear in later sequels with an early cameo to keep their fans happy. Though this addition proved to be controversial, see {{Flanderization}} below.

* {{Flanderization}}: The Kohran scenario from ''In Hot Blood'' proved to be controversial among fans for taking Kohran's love for machines too far. In this scenario, she gets upset at the rest of the Revue for treating machines as disposable. However, the things she's upset with (the Koubu having to be deployed before the maintenance is finished due to an attack, Ogami taking a blow meant for her with his Koubu and destroying an immobilized ''enemy'' mech) makes her seem completely unreasonable. What's worse, Kohran's inventions blow up all the time, so the idea that she hates her machines being destroyed seems to come out of nowhere, not to mention she has no problem with destroying enemy mechs in all scenarios before this one.
