  • Acting for Two:
  • Actor Allusion
    • Richard Krueger calls Joey Jones "Jojo" at one point. Besides referencing Joey's name, Richard is voiced by Jurota Kosugi, who also voiced Jotaro "Jojo" Kujo in the popular Star Crusaders OVA. In another Shout-Out to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (specifically Jonathan Joestar from the "Phantom Blood" arc), during Scenario 14 of the American Route, Richard says "Guten morning, Mushu Daijuuji. And Joestar" and "It's like a reunion joke, isn't that right, Jonathan?"
    • Agnes Berge is voiced by Chihiro Suzuki. When attacking with the Riot B's Proton Saber (Maximum Output), the machine takes a combat stance similar to Luke von Fabre, during one of his hidden Secret Artes. Additionally, Agnes sounds just like Luke during the earlier parts of the game, then deepens his voice significantly in later scenarios, making him sound more like Asch.
    • In Scenario 15 of the America Route, Soushi will state "With movement like a pendulum, barrage of accurate strikes...That technique just now, almost like boxing!", a reference to Ippo Makunouchi. Both characters are voiced Kohei Kiyasu.
    • In Scenario 16 of the Japan Route, Joe Maya will exclaim that "he has no name to give to fiends", a reference to Rom Stol. Joe and Rom are voiced by Kazuhiko Inoue.
    • At one point in UX, Lunamaria Hawke says "That's right: things go like this. When you yourself want it to be this way from how your heart feels when the natural time comes, you follow those feelings." These are the words Maaya Sakamoto, who voices Lunamaria, commented on during her wedding.
    • Kira Yamato says "I think it's okay to cry", the same words uttered by Kazuma of Scryed , also voiced by Soichiro Hoshi.
    • In a save-quit dialogue, Chouhi Gundam will call Kan-u Gundam a "lying, bearded bastard". This may or may not be a reference to Hiroki Yasumoto and his first SRW appearance as Aim Liard, a notorious liar.
    • In another save-quit dialogue, Izuna claims Soubi might have a talent for gaming. Soubi is voiced by Hirofumi Nojima, who voiced Gainer Sanga.
    • Reny, voiced by Noriko Hidaka, will exclaim in a save-quit dialogue "Sky Demon clad in flame is undefeatable!", which is what Noriko Takaya says in her home series. Furthermore, "I decline Space Monsters!" is a reference to the "Uchuu Kaiyuu" ("Space Terrible Monster Crowd") of GunBuster.
    • In the ending, Johnny's quote "According to Monthly Men's Hobbies... Essayist and modeler jobs are being done recently." is a reference to Haruna Ikezawa and her hobbies, which includes writing for multiple magazine serializations. Interestingly, being a hardcore modeler became a topic in the Hobby Japan magazine.
    • Aoi Hidaka punches Augustus with "Absolute Nova Beast" for a finish, just like how she punched the villainous Moon Will in Dancougar Nova; Moon Will and Augustus are voiced by Norio Wakamoto. This also serves as a Mythology Gag of characters voiced by Wakamoto being punched as they are defeated, including the original Dancougar (he voiced Shapiro Keats in the original series).
    • Mileina says she loves Tieria, which was in the movie itself too. In Polyphonica, Corti and Phoron were suspected to be lovers; Mileina and Corti are voiced by Haruka Tomatsu and Tieria and Phoron by Hiroshi Kamiya.
    • Graham expresses desire to embrace crossdressing Alto. They're both voiced by Yūichi Nakamura.
    • Both Graham and Moritsugu are non-main character Ace pilots. Voiced by Yūichi Nakamura too.
  • Irony as She Is Cast: During the saving skits, Fei-Yen HD (aka Miku) starts to speaks in a very robotic way, contrasting with her cheerful personality during the game. This is mostly her voice actress trying to sound like Miku just like in the original Vocaloid software, rather than Banpresto trying to use the software for that job.note  Ironically, she does a bad job doing that, even if that scene is supposed to be a Tear Jerker for the player.
    • Hilarious in Hindsight: Due to upgrades in the quality of Vocaloid software, Miku herself could, nowadays, have done almost the entire game, including the skits, without needing to actually use Saki Fujita.
  • No Export for You: Made more inconvenient with the 3DS having region locking.
  • The Original Darrin: Yuka Imai previously portrayed Claudius in the Demonbane drama CD before Tomoko Kawakami took over for the anime. With Kawakami's passing, Imai was given the role back.
  • The Other Darrin:
    • Caligula goes from the late Daisuke Gōri to Kenta Miyake, while Jack Smith went from Yoshikazu Sato to Kenji Nomura.
    • Averted with Nero, as Ari Yunohara is just Nero's original voice actress, Mia Naruse, under a different name.
    • A weird case involving Fei-Yen HD: it seems to be voiced by Saki Fujita, NOT by Hatsune Miku, the musical software whose voice banks Fujita provided for, possibly because using the software itself for the game could give her a very unnatural sounding voice for a action-oriented game.note 
  • Post-Script Season
    • Gundam SEED Destiny characters are pretty much integrated into the Fafner cast, with Shinn Asuka and Lunamaria Hawke helping them battle the Festum after their war ended (Cagalli Yula Athla is their sponsor; this implies Shinn has made some peace with ORB).
    • The original four members of Team D retired from piloting after defeating Moon Will, receiving Laser-Guided Amnesia and going back to their ordinary lives. This left Eida in the R-Daigun as the only active member for most of the game's first act.
    • BB Senshi Sangokuden is another "just there to support the other plots" series, since they had already shown Sun Quan Gundam, Liu Bei Gundam and Cao Cao Gundam's final battle (or the middle of it) in the UX prologue. Yet Ryofu Tallgeese and Chou-sen Qubeley are conveniently Back from the Dead despite both being killed way before the finale.
    • UX explicitly happens post-Dunbine, to which the original series was an "Everybody Dies" Ending.
