History YMMV / RaidouKuzunohaVsKingAbaddon

* ScrappyMechanic: While it is expected from the series as a whole, some players were dismayed that this game brought back the negotiation system to obtain demons as opposite to the vial system in the previous game, which some found much more convenient.

* FridgeHorror: Given what happens to Raidou if he dies, it's a pretty good thing [[spoiler:Geirin dies of tuberculosis instead of the actual battle he just fought]].

* AntiClimaxBoss: In both fights against Binbou-gami (who is a Fiend, a race which is usually made up of impossibly hard bonus bosses), he is frail to fire; Pyro Blade[=/=]Pyro Killer allows you to keep him stun locked for the entire boss fight. He even makes his weakness blatant in the dialog! (Warm you up? Alright.)

* ContinuityLockOut: Inverted. You would be forgiven for thinking that there wasn't a game before this one if you hadn't played it, since this one hits you with BagOfSpilling and there are virtually no direct references to the last game, not even the part where there was a giant robot frying the city. Note that if you do use the OldSaveBonus, the characters ''do'' reference the previous adventure.
** Lampshaded in conversation with [[NoFourthWall Raiho]]. Should you answer "No" when he ask if Raidou remember him, he will conclude that you must be a new player and missed the first game.
* FanPreferredCouple: Also double as CrackPairing. There are more fan art of Moh Shuvuu and Raidou than any other.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: This was likely the first game in which Atlus looked at Mara and wrote his dialogue just by looking at him.
-->'''Mara''': It will only take one thrust to penetrate your frail form and leave you totally defenseless!
* HoYay: Binbou-gami wants more of Raidou's "whip of love."

* TearJerker: Your demons always write you letters before being fused together, which may come in this variety.
-->"The letter was stained with tears so it was illegible."
** Some are actually funny: there are letters "written a highly idiosyncratic prose style", and you'll sometimes get a letter addressed to someone else entirely.
---> "It was written in blood!"

* {{Woolseyism}}:The whole "authentic Jazz Age slang" thing, which is a definite part of the game's charm and is not present in the original at all.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: At the end of chapter 6 there is a huge one for Raidou and Taotie, because they work together to eat the space between the Gate in the capital and the pojitrawn in the village they are in.]]

* FunnyMoments: This was likely the first game in which Atlus looked at Mara and wrote his dialogue just by looking at him.

* {{Woolseyism}}: See GratuitousEnglish and SesquipedalianLoquaciousness. Because obviously the former doesn't work when the whole script is in English.
** And of course there's the whole "authentic Jazz Age slang" thing, which is a definite part of the game's charm and is not present in the original at all.

** Lampshaded in conversation with [[NoFourthWall Raiho]]. Should you answer "No" when he ask if Raidou remember him, he will conclude that you must be a new player and miss the first game.

* {{Narm}}: Dahn's laugh when the Apollyons came through the Gate. Not helped by being the ''only'' voice acting in the game due to the game being styled after [[SilentAgeOfHollywood a silent film of the 20s]].

** And of course there's the whole "authentic Jazz Age slang" thing, which is a definite part of the game's charm and is not present in the original at all.

** The case file given to you by Narita, asking you to [[spoiler:[[MercyKill slip a poison pill]] to his former lover, who was forced to leave him to become [[FateWorseThanDeath the bride of the Tento]]]]. It really adds a layer of humanity to someone whose actions painted him as a coward up until that point.

** The case file given to you by Narita, asking you to [[spoiler:[[MercyKill poison his former lover]], who has since [[FateWorseThanDeath become the bride of the Tento]]]]. It really adds a layer of humanity to someone whose actions painted him as a coward up until that point.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Oh yes.

* TheUntwist: The game doesn't pretend you won't recognize Lucifer. He even flat out talks to the ([[InvisibleToNormals normally invisible]]) demons you send on solo missions [[spoiler:though you can get his hair on NewGamePlus]].

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: At the end of chapter 6 there is a huge one for Raidou and Taotie,because they work together to eat the space between the Gate in the capital and the pojitrawn in the village they are]]
