* The ending credits has an RPG-style story where Neptune and Purple Heart are portrayed as separate characters instead of alter egos. After being injured fighting Anonydeath, Neptune merges with Purple Heart a la Shin Hayata with Series/{{Ultraman}}. One of Purple Heart's attacks was Purple Slash, a nod to Ultraman's Ultra Slash. When an injured Purple Heart was visited by Yellow Heart, the entire scene frames like Zoffy to Ultraman after the latter was injured from fighting Zetton. At the end of the credits, Purple Heart separated from Neptune and left as an energy ball of light, akin to the Ultras' mode of transportation.

* For starters, the title itself is a homage to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo The odd title]] itself seems to be a reference to how Square-Enix stopped re-numbering the games that they exported to Western audiences ([[NoExportForYou since three games in the series weren't exported to the United States for years]]) and instead opted to go for the same labeling worldwide, although in this game's case, the seemingly-random jump forward is entirely deliberate.
