- Creator's Oddball: It can be odd to look at the covers of the first two games and see that Midway Games, of all companies, published them abroad, especially considering their strong localization work.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: The first game went out of print fairly quickly, and had a relatively low print run to begin with. This led fans to have to resort to scouring eBay to obtain a copy. The sequel seemed doomed to the same fate, but the trope was averted when the publisher recognized it had a cult hit on its hands and re-released both titles.
- What Could Have Been:
- As Matsuzo Machida revealed in interviews, From the New World is not a true sequel, but rather a Gaiden Game. Actual Shadow Hearts III started development three different times, but ended up being cancelled for good. It would have been a prequel starring Jinpachiro Hyuga and Kiheita Inugami, Yuri's and Kurando's fathers.
- Likewise, Miyako Kato drew a design
for the human form of Black Bat, or rather Valentine siblings' grandfather. Considering how Joachim and Hilda had Early Bird Cameos in games prior to their proper introductions, he may have been a party member in SHIII.
