{{tropelist}}
* [[Ancient Conspiracy]]: When meeting Ginko, she explains the Phantom Society has controlled the world from the shadows for a long time.
* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]]
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: The game is being ported to the 3DS. Which means that Western players now have a high chance of playing the game officially.
* [[Another Man's Terror]]: The Vision Quests.
* [[Artificial Human]]: More like artificial devil: Zeed. {{spoiler|Also, Nemissa is eventually revealed to be an artificial devil too}}.
* [[Bifauxnen]]: Ginko. Despite its androgynous appearance and voice, it's female.
* [[Big Red Devil]]: Azazel though he wears a blue outfit.
* [[Bonus Boss]]: Heaploads, most of whom are cameos from ''[[Shin Megami Tensei II]]''.
Line 34 ⟶ 36:
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Six has one. {{spoiler|He accidentally killed her, and Paradigm-X uses his guilt to trap him}}.
* [[Demonic Possession]]: Hitomi by Nemissa. {{spoiler|Later, and more tragically, Spooky by Satanael}}.
* [[Disco Dan]]: Carol J dresses and acts like a 1950s/early 1960s rockstar in a 21st century setting.
* [[Dub Name Change]]: A major character had his name changed from "Redman" to "Kinap" (A Mi'kmaq legend of people born with exceptional strength) as Redman is both a very lame sounding handle and very ackward on a native American character in English.
* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: Nemissa takes Hitomi to a clothes shop and buys a [[Evil Is Sexy|whole new wardrobe of black leather]]. Hitomi is not pleased.
Line 48 ⟶ 51:
* [[Inside a Computer System]]
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Kinap's original name is Redman, who, well, pretty much describes how he looks, his skin is so red it looks like muscle.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: Nishi.
* [[Order vs. Chaos]]: Ginko explains the Phantom Society is not so much "evil" as interested in an absolutely controlled society.
* [[Our Souls Are Different]]
* [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]: {{spoiler|Nemissa was created to aid the Phantom Society. Unfortunately for them, her program gets stolen by Urabe before they could put her to use. Thus she has no memories and thus no loyalty to the Phantom Society, and by the time they catch up to her she's found more than enough reasons ''not'' to go along with them}}.
Line 55 ⟶ 60:
* [[Sacrificial Lamb]]: {{spoiler|Naomi although the player only controls her for a minor segment.}}
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: {{spoiler|Manitou while not evil is [[The Empath|influenced]] by the [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|humans]] around it. So it was sealed away to prevent it from being influenced by humans.}}
* [[Shameless Fanservice Girl]]: Nemissa wants to be one, wanting to wear a very daring outfit after possessing Hitomi, but Hitomi, being a pretty shy schoolgirl, refuses to before we even see what it looks like and they pick up a compromise: a skintight suit with an open cleavage window.
* [[Sharing a Body]]: Hitomi and Nemissa, though the latter has more control since she has the more forceful personality.
* [[Spirit Advisor]]: Red Man.
* [[Split Personality Takeover]]: An accidental example: {{spoiler|Nemissa spends a little too long in Hitomi's body, causing the original's soul to start to fade away}}.
* [[Swiss Army Weapon]]: The COMP. Its versatility only increases as you find new expansion cards for it.
* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: Ginko has a pretty manly voice in Japanese despite being female. The English dub in 3DS gives her a female voice actress.
* [[Zeerust]]: The remake replaces a lot of the art with one modern style, but still drawing very 90s aesthetics.
** The remake script retains and adds new mentions of the game being set in the Heisei era (January 8th 1989 to April 30th 2019). Even at the remake's 2012 release, the idea of such a futuristic setting being in the Heisei era was pretty absurd, as that era would end when then 79 year old Emperor died or retired.
