History YMMV / CytusII

* HesJustHiding: [[spoiler:Fans were very quick to point out ways Cherry could survive despite the 2.6 update very heavily suggesting she died of her wounds. She's confirmed dead in the 2.7 update, but the update after that suggests she's actually still alive in some capacity. Nothing ultimately comes of it however.]]

* CatharsisFactor: [[spoiler:After what he pulled on Joe and especially for being the reason Cherry died, it's safe to say that Diego dying at the hands of Xenon was completely deserved.]]

** Diego was already involved with HumanTrafficking, but he proves just how evil he really is when he [[spoiler:orchestrates the attack on the Kyuu Hou Kai's facility that leaves a number of the faculty dead as well as causing the power to fail. This in turn leads to life support systems failing and Cherry's death.]]

* AntiClimaxBoss: In more a story-sense. [[spoiler:Diego was built up throughout as fairly a major threat, only for him and many of his associates to be killed off by Xenon somewhat suddenly.]]

* ThatOneLevel: "Space Alien" from Sagar's pack quickly became infamous for its build-up section, where the scan line slows to a crawl (making it harder to judge the song's rhythm) while the chart turns into a chaotic mess of tap and tap-drag notes which is very difficult to navigate. Despite its rating of Chaos 13, most players view it as harder than the majority of Chaos 14 songs, and even a few of the lower-end 15s.

* HesJustHiding: [[spoiler:Fans were very quick to point out ways Cherry could survive despite the 2.6 update very heavily suggesting she died of her wounds. Turns out to be words of denial as she's confirmed dead in the 2.7 update.]]

* HolyShitQuotient: Probably one of the most depressing versions of this occurred in the 2.6 update of Crystal [=PuNK=] with the [[spoiler:[[CharacterDeath death of Cherry]], one of the ''main characters''. Needless to say, everyone was caught off guard.]]

** Cherry was hit a bit by the DieForOurShip crowd, with people disliking her character partially for her relationship with Xenon. [[spoiler:Come the 2.6 update, they basically got their wish granted.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: A major plot point in Aroma's story is Aroma refusing to perform after collapsing on stage while trying to sing Gravity. Nikki Simmons, who sang a lot of songs for both PAFF and the Aroma DLC and is closely associated with Aroma's character in general within the fandom, would announce on August 5, 2019 that she's [[https://youtu.be/OphzsAb9P1k taking a break from singing to explore other venues]], feeling that she's plateaued as a singer.

* DieForOurShip: Cherry is viewed rather negatively by fans who ship Xenon with either [=ConneR=] or Neko. Interestingly enough, [[spoiler:Hayato hasn't been nearly as negatively received despite his ShipTease with Aroma. Most of the people who shipped Aroma with Neko just accepted that the ship was sunk.]]

* BrokenBase: Rayark'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.

* FanPreferredCouple: A lot of fans ship Xenon with [=ConneR=]. The ship is only rivaled by fans who ship Neko with PAFF and Ivy with Vanessa. For those interested more in heterosexual ships, Neko and Xenon is also a fairly popular pairing.
** Rather hilariously, both the Xenon/[=ConneR=] and PAFF/Neko pairings are addressed on the [=iM=] boards. Evidently, Xenon/[=ConneR=] has been an incredibly popular ship in-universe from the beginning, and PAFF and Neko's otherwise divided fanbases end up going full-blown ShipperOnDeck after [[spoiler:discovering that the two of them had basically been living together]].

* TheWoobie: PAFF (real name 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.

** Many players completely lost sympathy for [[spoiler:Noah after it was revealed that he [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil sexually assaulted]] a 16-year-old Aroma. Even after it was revealed that he passed out before he could go through with it, the intent was ''very'' clear, and his lack of repentance afterwards firmly cements that he attempted to cross the line.]]
