[[Love Plus (Video Game)/Characters|Character Page]] is on the way.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Distillation]] - The manga have been accused of this, especially Nene Days and Manaka Days. Both protagonists have already started dating, essentially cutting out the plot from the first half of game.
* [[Cell Phone]] - In the first half of the game, texting is vital to getting to know the girls and building up affection. In the second half, the player can also call the girlfriend. How the player responds to the girls' texts will slowly but surely affect their attitude towards the player. In fact, it is a key part of the following trope...

** The girls would also tell you that they aren't into pirates.
* [[Dating Sim]]: With a twist, the game was only made to increase Japan's very low birth rate, and it worked wonders, that and aiming it at high schoolers who are having issues picking up girls and said high schoolers using it as a tool to pick up said girl in real life.
** As a side note, some time back, Konami teamed up with many high schools across Japan with a bus trip fundraiser where students who have got their real life girl of their dreams thanks to Love Plus+ put in $365 dollars (in all, which is very cheap for a fundraiser which most school fundraisers tend to cost around $2000 dollars [[Crack
* [[Derivative Works]] - There's an artbook for ''each'' character. There's also a version for the [http://www.thebanzaieffect.com/articles/ooga/love-plus-for-iphone-videos/ iPhone/iTouch/iPad.]
* [[Hair Decorations]] - Manaka and her bow naturally; all three can acquire this by changing their hairstyles.
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
* [[Follow the Leader]] - After ''Love Plus'' became a hit in Japan, a company called Teatime created an adult game called ''Renai+H'' with similar gameplay.
* [[Going Through the Motions]] - Played straight and subverted. The 3D models of the girls can show a variety of emotion, especially the faces, doing fairly well considering the difficulty of doing 3D on the DS. However, it's clearly not on the level of ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'', but the facial expressions are still far better than ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]]''.
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]] - Played straight and subverted. You can name your character anything you want, but the game offers a much smaller range of possible names that the girls can pronounce.
** Also, only the three heroines can pronounce your name, while the other voiced characters will find other means to refer to you.
** For the sequel/remake "Love Plus+", the developers sent out a survey to LovePlus players to determine which names were common and to include more of these names into the game.
Line 74 ⟶ 73:
* [[Save Scumming]] - Subverted. While you have 3 save slots available, if you suddenly turn off the game without saving, the game will punish you when you try to load a save. This ranges from a simple warning to save next time, to lowering in-game affection levels, to forcing the player to apologize aloud via the game's mic. Multiple times. Additionally, once you start a file, when you save, you cannot choose which slot to save to.
** However, depending on your specific hardware, it is possible to genuinely savescum the game without it knowing. Then again, most of the people who do this [[Digital Piracy Is Evil|probably didn't buy the actual game]].
* [[Sempai
* [[Shout Out]] - One of Manaka's dream sequences is designed with the classic ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]]: Forever with you'' game engine and character artstyle.
* [[Small Reference Pools]]- Subverted. A Japanese dating sim references ''[[The Catcher in The Rye (Literature)|The Catcher in The Rye]]''. Specifically, Rinko Kobayakawa quotes from the book at one point, referring to the relationship between Holden Caulfield and his sister Phoebe.
Line 84 ⟶ 83:
** Especially her B-type personality.
* [[Updated Rerelease]] - Imaginatively titled ''Love Plus+''.
