* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: In his main storyline, Leon [[spoiler:is placed on trial by the other gods for loving the protagonist above other humans, and given a choice: to kill her or be killed himself. Rather than face parting with the woman he loves, Leon embraces his full power and decides to ''remake the universe itself'', declaring that any universe that would allow him to be separated from the protagonist is "without meaning". It takes the intervention of the King of Gods and a CooldownHug from the protagonist to stop him.]]

* TheExile: Part of the premise of the game. Each of the love interests did ''something'' that got them banished from heaven with their powers sealed away. Their exile lasts until they learn whatever lesson the king of the gods decided they needed to learn - which is never as straightforward as it seems.

* PastLifeMemories: Fallen gods are reincarnated as humans, although they keep their memories of their lives as gods. [[spoiler:Leon's sequel showcases exactly how cruel this fate is with Eris, who has had several lifetimes of being unable to live a normal human life because she remembers being a god]]. Gods who choose to be reborn of their own free will don't keep their memories - and may be better off for it.

* PeekABangs: Scorpio's hair covers his right eye, highlighting his standoffish attitude.

* PoisonousFriend: [[spoiler:Shadow Dui]] is violently protective of [[spoiler:Dui]], and takes it upon himself to do the things the other is to "weak" to do. He greatly resents that his efforts go unappreciated [[spoiler:and causes Dui to go great lengths to keep him locked away in the back of their mind]]. Even his attempts to kill the protagonist come from a desire to protect [[spoiler:Dui]].

* RapunzelHair: [[spoiler:Leon's true form.]]

* {{Tanabata}}:
** Translated in the English localization as "Star Festival." The plot kicks off the evening before Tanabata, and after an initial encounter that she writes off as a dream, the six gods approach the protagonist again during a Tanabata event being put on at the planetarium where she works. At the beginning of Scorpio's route, an onlooker wonders if the protagonist and Scorpio are acting out the roles of Orihime and Hikoboshi.
** Altair and Vega themselves appear as child gods who serve as pages to the Departments of Punishments and Wishes respectively.

* ForbiddenRomance: A lot of the conflict that arises in the stories is due to the protagonist's relationship with the god of her choosing. Zygvalis points out that any hitch or milestone in their relationship could affect the earth, even more so since the protagonist herself is a reincarnated goddess. [[spoiler: In most of the sequels, the imbalances that arise on Earth happens when the protagonist and the god become intimate for the first time, or otherwise deepen their relationship.]]

** Icthys doesn't care that [[spoiler: he will die, as long as he's able to save the protagonist from certain death.]]

** Ends up subverted with [[spoiler: Icthys, who didn't commit a sin. He was exiled by the King in the hopes that it would prolong his life.]]

* SuddenlyVoiced: The ending of the "If You Were A Goddess" special story gives Scorpio several voiced lines, courtesy of Creator/JunichiSuwabe.

** Icthys ''loves'' taiyaki (fish-shaped pastries).

* WesternZodiac: The game's love interests are presented as gods who rule over the twelve signs of the zodiac. Leo (Leon), Aquarius (Huedhaut), Taurus (Teorus), Pisces (Ichthys), Gemini (Dui), and Scorpio make up the initial group of love interests, and the supporting cast of Libra (Zyglavis), Cancer (Karno), Virgo (Partheno), Aries (Krioff), Capricorn (Aigonorus), Sagittarius (Tauxlouve) are upgraded to love interest options in a subsequent ExpansionPack.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Well, not so much 'dark' as simply'slightly darker'. The Gods in the Department of Punishments have black incorporated into their uniforms, probably because punishments are scarier to humans than their wishes being granted. The protagonist even calls at least one member, Scorpio, 'evil' in her narration. That said, they're all pretty good at heart, and despite the fearsomeness of their jobs they are simply trying to carry out justice as they see it fit.

* {{Karma}}: Although the term itself isn't used, dispensing karmic punishments to sinners is the purpose of the Department of Punishments. Occasionally the punishments thus dispensed cross over into LaserGuidedKarma, such as in Scorpio's route when he strikes a corrupt businessman with a heart attack that causes the man's briefcase to open and scatter his ill-gotten money all over the street.

* Deus Ex Machina: A bit of one at the end of Ichthys' route, though since [[spoiler: it saves him from certain death and a massive DownerEnding]], the player likely won't care.

** [[spoiler: Scorpio remembers previously being human as well, which drives his hatred toward humans in general.]]

* Deus Ex Machina: A bit of one at the end of Ichthys' route, though since [[spoiler: it saves him from certain death and a massive TearJerker]], the player likely won't care.

* EyeColorChange: Demonstrated thus far by Leon and Teorus (brown to blue), and Scorpio (black to red) when they begin tapping into their true powers. (Since most similar games will remark on a change in a character's appearance without changing the sprite to reflect this, it's a detail that means a lot in helping the experience along. )

* AllPartOfTheShow: When a group of fabulously handsome, strangely-dressed men appear at the planetarium's Star Festival event and one of them makes it rain stardust, onlookers take it as a performance being staged for the event - even the protagonist's coworker Hiyori, who as an employee of the planetarium should know that no such thing was planned.

* EyeColorChange: Demonstrated thus far by Leon and Teorus (brown to blue), and Scorpio (black to red) when they begin tapping into their true powers.

* Karno loves peppers. The spicier the better. He carries around a jar of what's implied to be paprika or cayenne pepper, which he puts on everything. When attempting food prepared the way Karno prefers it, the other gods ask if his mouth is incapable of feeling pain.
