History YMMV / CytusII

* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: Cytus II has an ''extensive'' plot for a rhythm game, let alone a mobile rhythm game. This game is not for [[PlayTheGameSkipTheStory people expecting a "normal" rhythm game]], as rhythm games in general tend to have a low or nonexistent [[StoryToGameplayRatio Story-to-Gameplay Ratio]]. Though that isn't to say the gameplay is poor by any means as it is in someways an improvement over the [[VideoGame/{{Cytus}} first Cytus]]. It's just that the story is so elaborate that it often overshadows discussions of the game's mechanics.

* CrackPairing: Xenon and [=ConneR=] are a surprisingly popular pairing despite the fact that Xenon clearly has difficulties even tolerating [=ConneR=]'s condescending personality in canon.

** [=#InConneRWeTrust=][[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to [=ConneR=] being one of the most proactive in discovering the world's secrets, his active resistance against the oppressive ARC, and his general vibe of being a gentlemanly action hero, some fangs believe he'll be the one to resolve the story's conflict.[[/labelnote]]

* BrokenBase: Rayarck's DLC practices are heavily contested due to every DLC character costing around $10. Some believe it's fair given the fact that the base game only costs $1.99, while others are completely turned off by just how much the DLC purchases add up. It doesn't help that much of the story content and lore is locked behind these purchases.

* BrokenBase: Ivy's songs have somewhat polarized fans due to their drastic speed changes and for introducing the [[ScrappyMechanic "Click Drag" Note]].

* JerkassWoobie: Ivy [[spoiler:is the main antagonist, but she is motivated by her desire to save Vanessa, the one connection she has to her old life as an Architect and the person she is closest to in general. It doesn't help that the last time Ivy was with Vanessa, Vanessa was going to be used as an unwitting suicide bomber to eradicate the human race.]]
* StoicWoobie: Nora has possibly one of the most traumatic childhoods imaginable. [[spoiler:She was trafficked as an infant and subjected to horrifying experimentation at the hands of insane scientists, which resulted in her losing her original pair of legs. Then she was deemed a failure and left in the middle of a plague-infested wasteland to die. Even after getting adopted by a benevolent guardian, she couldn't escape the crime organization that trafficked her in the first place and was forced to work for them as an info broker.]] Despite this, she retains an almost unnerving professionalism and poise, continuing to find ways to help those who gave her happiness.
* TheWoobie: PAFF/Aroma White is a ShrinkingViolet with a traumatic past. On the day she was to make her debut as an IdolSinger, a car crash left her comatose for months and missing most of her memories after waking up. Although she went on to have a massively successful idol career after her awakening, the amnesia haunted her, to the point where she had an existential crisis: what if she wasn't the person she thought she was? The possibilities haunted her to the point where [[spoiler:she ran away from home, leaving behind her life of fame and luxury out of fear that it wasn't hers]]. And then there are the implications that [[spoiler:her fears may be founded and that she may be another person brainwashed into taking Aroma's place]], or that she was [[spoiler:sexually assaulted or even raped by Noah, who she saw as a parental figure]]. It's hard to not feel sympathy for PAFF's plight given all she had to go through.
