This game's opening was done by {{Creator/Graphinica Graphinica}}, and directed by veteran animator Yasutoshi Iwasaki. The composer from Namco X Capcom, [[Creator/YuzoKoshiro Yuzo Koshiro]] returns to compose the game's opening and ending, "Sekai wa Hitotsu no Butai" (All the World's Stage), and "Tsuki Akari no Curtain Call" (Moonlight Curtain Call), which is sang by marina.

* DualWielding: Lots of characters, but [[VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom Reiji]] takes it UpToEleven.

* GagBoobs: Just like [[VideoGame/EndlessFrontier her native series]], a noticeable majority of the breast-related humor comes at Kaguya's expense. Taken UpToEleven in that the game establishes she's ''bigger than '''[[HornyDevils Morrigan]]'''''.

* SwordAndSorcerer: [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Yuri and Estelle]] and [[VideoGame/ShiningForce Touma and Cyrille]] are classic examples. [[VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom Reiji and Xiaomu]] and Zero and X have this dynamic too, but they're subversions.

** [[spoiler: In the beginning of Chapter 32 of the sequel, Otohime assures Tarosuke will be joining the rest of the heroes on another big adventure in the future.]]

-->'''Xiaomu:''' We'd better keep this guy from meeting our pals at Ouma. That'd be a bit too much esprit de corps for me.

* {{Crossover}}: ''[[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover A MASSIVE one]]''. Over thirty franchises across Namco, Capcom and SEGA are brought together in this game, with the sequel even adding Nintendo characters into the mix.

** The [[VideoGame/EndlessFrontier Gespenst Phantom]] and [[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Alisa]]have been reprogrammed to be hostile.

* {{BFS}}: Many characters, ranging from the ''VideoGame/GodEaterBurst'' guys, to [=BlackRose=]... to Sanger (who brings a human-sized Zankantou around).

** Even characters who are supposedly within the same time frame are kind of messed up, time-wise: ''Shenmue'' takes place during the 1990s while games like ''Resident Evil'', ''Yakuza'' and ''Ace Attorney'' take place at least a decade after it yet all characters

* ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'': [[AcheyScars Reiji Arisu]] and [[{{Kitsune}} Xiaomu]]

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'': [[SinisterScythe Hell Pride]], [[ActionBomb Hell Wrath]], [[PerversePuppet Marionette]] ([[SinisterScythe purple]] and [[MoreDakka green]]), [[KnifeNut Bloody Mari]], [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Sin Scissors]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Monolith says that there will be around ''200'' named characters, though not all of them will be playable.
** There are a total of twenty Pair and twenty Solo Units - 60 characters at a minimum. If you count [[SplitPersonality Neito]], Tron's Servbots, and the eight [[AssistCharacter assist-only characters]][[note]]three for Ulala, four for Devilotte, and [[spoiler: Phantom for Haken and Kaguya's Multi Attack]][[/note]] the total comes to 70 characters the player can use. Add the 22 Rival Units (the ones that don't make a HeelFaceTurn) and Iris and Aura, and we got 94.

* ''VideoGame/SummonNight 3'': [[{{Meganekko}} Aty]]

** In the second game, the only villains not to get their comeuppance are [[spoiler: [[Franchise/DotHack Azure Kite]], [[VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}} T-elos]], [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Juri]], [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} B.B. Hood]], [[VideoGame/SpaceChannel5 Shadow]], and [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Nelo Angelo]].]]

* BackToBackBadasses: Several character do this in the opening sequence of the second game, such as Reiji and Xiaomu, Saya and Sheath, and Chrom and Lucina.

* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'': [[Characters/TekkenJinKazama Jin Kazama]], [[GenkiGirl Ling Xiaoyu]] and [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Alisa Bosconovitch]]

* ''Advertising/SegataSanshiro'': [[AwesomenessIsVolatile Himself!]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'': [[Characters/TekkenJinKazama Jin Kazama]], [[GenkiGirl Ling Xiaoyu]] and [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Alisa Bosconovitch]]*

* CourtroomEpisode: ''2'' has the entire stage 31 as such with [[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey]] as the defending lawyer and his assistant while Miles Edgeworth as the prosecutor with Valkyrie at the witness stand. Otohime is the judge while Tarosuke is the bailiff. Meanwhile, the playable characters are at the defendant's side while Kamuz, [[VideoGame/SpaceChannel5 Shadow]], and [[VideoGame/MegamanX4 Sigma]] are at the prosecutor's side. Finally, [[BigBad Saya]], [[VideoGame/SakuraWars Aya-Me]], and [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Juri Han]] are the witnesses to the trial. Finally, [[VideoGame/ForgottenWorlds Sylphie]] is the resident BigDamnHeroes person. [[CourtroomAntics Yes, it's absurd as it sounds.]] [[spoiler: (Un)fortunately, the entire segment becomes moot when Sylphie barges in before the trial can actually begin, inadvertedly revealing the culprit of the case outright by being in posession of the stolen object, telling everyone who stole it and how.]]

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'': [[HollywoodCyborg Fiora]]

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'': [[SmugSnake Metal Face]], [[GiantMook Mass-Produced Faces]], [[KillerRobot M54 Attack Unit, M63 Harverster Unit, M82X Melee Unit, M83 Predator Unit, M85 Meteor Artillery, M87 Prototype, Offensive Mechon Plus]]

** "The Ancient Mechon" has you essentially fighting one of the {{Bonus Boss}}es in VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles which has massive amounts of HP for an enemy of its level and beat it before dawn that arrives in 4 turns.

** Fiora appears in her Mechon form within ''Project X Zone 2'' while paired up with KOS-MOS. The mere fact that she's been turned into a Mechon is a huge spoiler within ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'' due to it being one of the game's various {{Plot Twist}}s. That's just one among many others in this game.

* SidelinedProtagonistCrossover: Downplayed in ''Project X Zone 2''. Fiora is not the main character of ''Videogame/XenobladeChronicles'', but she is part of the protagonist ensemble there.

-->'''Xiaomu: When life gives you {{lemon}}s, you close the bedroom door and read them all!

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'': [[HalfHumanHybrid Dante]] and [[BadassBiker Lady]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'': [[AbusiveParents Kazuya Mishima]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'': [[NeighborhoodFriendlyGangsters Kazuma Kiryu]] and [[AxCrazy Goro Majima]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'': [[OldMaster Heihachi Mishima]]*[[note]][[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor Is initially a Solo Unit.]][[/note]]

* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'': [[WalkingTheEarth Ryu]], [[TheRival Ken Masters]] and [[ShesGotLegs Chun-Li]]

* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'': [[CrusadingLawyer Phoenix Wright]] and [[KidSidekick Maya Fey]]

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'': [[AloofBigBrother Vergil]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'': [[TragicHero Jin Kazama]], [[GenkiGirl Ling Xiaoyu]] and [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Alisa Bosconovitch]]*

* MilestoneCelebration: ''Project X Zone 2'' serves as the 10th anniversary of ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom''. Seemingly, ''2'' has Reiji and Xiaomu as the main heroes again, Saya as one of the primary antagonists, as well as introduce other members of Shinra and Ouma. In fact, the game's subtitle, ''Brave New World'', shares the same name as Namco X Capcom's main theme.

* YouAllShareMyStory: Considering the ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'' veterans have met up with each other in the past, they manage to get along easily. The best example would be in Chapter 15 of the second game, where June recognizes KOS-MOS, Hiryu, Captain Commando, X and Zero (and namedropping all of their organizations), and they recognize her and Hayato in-turn.
