* ShoutOut:
** Vert's LimitBreak [[ThisIsADrill looks like a]] [[GurrenLagann Giga Drill Break]] with a [[HeroicRROD Red Ring Of Death]].
** Noire's LimitBreak looks very suspiciously similar to [[TalesOfVesperia Yuri's Savage Wolf Fury]].
*** To be more exact, Noire performs [[TalesOfVesperia Yuri's Savage Wolf Fury]] sword combo barrage, followed by [[TalesOfGraces Asbel's Juuha Goushouzan]] super upperslash, followed by [[ImplausibleFencingPowers countless sword flashes to dismantle the poor enemies]]... Did I already mention that Noire is {{Badass}}?
** Neptune's second LimitBreak is reminiscent of [[PhantasyStarIII Wren's]] transformations and [[NamesTheSame Wr]][[PhantasyStarIV en's]] [[LimitBreak Positron Bolt]]
** Noire's third weapon is Elysdeon, the description "[[PhantasyStarIV This sword is rumored to have come from a distant planet, key to fending off some legendary evil.]]". Sadly, despite Elsydeon looking like something Noire would use, Elysdeon looks nothing like it but rather more like a sword Neptune would use.
** [[http://www.amazon.com/ AMAZOO.nep]].
** When Neptune is in her coma, she hopes that she doesn't go crazy and start "[[SonicTheHedgehog collecting rings floating by the ground]]" or wandering around and "stepping in some [[{{Disgaea}} ABC gum]]".
** Nisa screaming [[MachineRobo "Wait" and "You don't deserve to know my name!"]]
** Neptune: [[JojosBizarreAdventure Muda muda muda muda muda muda muda!]]
** Neptune: [[KamenRiderDenO From start to finish, I'm always at a climax!]]
** Neptune once met a strange mangaka that talked about the existence of a giant [[BlueDragon blue shadow in form of a dragon]]. [[AkiraToriyama Said mangaka wore a gas mask.]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YCDLhrdNBw&feature=sub Noire's transformation quotes]] [[KamenRider are]] [[SailorMoon chock]] [[{{Gundam00}} full]] of these.
** Green Heart invites IF to play a "[[DeadRising zombie mall-survival blood fest]]".
** [[SuperMarioBros A set of twins chase a turtle named Wowser from the Shroom Kingdom.]]
*** Two plot-important Mario ones involving meeting Peach and Yoshi expies.
** "[[SonicTheHedgehog No, this is a herd of super speedy blue hedgehogs!]]"
** Vert gives us a now-outdated reminder to preorder [[HaloReach Hoop: Reach]].
** The party runs across a lone member of [[ResidentEvil S.R.A.T.S.]] who suggests you should be a "master of unlocking".
** One of the DLC bosses is a "Traitor Knight" that resembles a [[RuleSixtyThree gender-flipped]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Kain Highwind]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43OVHmJ011E Noire]] makes references, and even cosplays as one of her [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/72660.jpg lookalikes]], complete with [[CutenessProximity ailurophilia]].
** Compa introduces a FightingGame match "[[GuiltyGear Heaven or Hell! Let's Rock!]]"
** Noire attempts to think up a catchphrase. "[[MischiefMakers 'Through fire, justice is served!']]"
** The description of the Overlord Momus item says, "If you collect all five, the Overlord will awaken." [[YuGiOh Overlord Momus, obliterate?]]
** One of the first few lines Neptune has is, "Neptune does what you don't," which is appropriate since Sega, which Neptune represents, used "Sega does what Ninten-don't" as an advertising line back in the day. What's more, this was a purely American ad campaign; the translators were actively adding to the shout outs, even obscure ones that many kids today likely wouldn't know about.
** In the manga, [[AhMyGoddess apparently a goddess is also a freeloader.]]
** At [[{{Xbox360}} Leanbox]], the party encounters a man who is [[TalesOfVesperia looking for the culprit who stole the barrier protecting their town.]] With the exception of where he's holding his weapon, the silhouette really looks like Yuri Lowell.
* The sequel adds the following:
** Horsebirds won't make any sense unless you've played ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' where they have renamed Chocobos into horsebirds. Compile Heart took it UpToEleven.
** SteinsGate characters Kurisu Makise, Shiina Mayuri, and Itaru "Daru" Hashida make a cameo as part of 5pb's attacks.
** [[AtelierRorona Rorona]], Totori, the Chims, Ceci, and Mimi show up for some of Gust's attacks.
** Nepgear's dream reenacts the entire sequence of the third episode of PuellaMagiMadokaMagica right down to two of the seiyuus (NipponIchi being Mami and Uni being Sayaka) and of course includes the [[spoiler: [[WhamEpisode head chomp.]]]]

** [[AsamiImai Noire/Black Heart]] is [[BlazBlue Tsubaki Yayoi]] and [[TheIdolMaster Chihaya]].

** Trick The Hard is [[{{Basilisk}} Kisaragi Saemon]] and [[KotetsushinJeeg Senjirou Shiba]]

** One of the DLC bosses is a "Traitor Knight" that resembles a [[RuleSixtyThree gender-flipped]] [[FinalFantasyIV Kain Highwind]].

** Horsebirds won't make any sense unless you've played ''FinalFantasyXIV'' where they have renamed Chocobos into horsebirds. Compile Heart took it UpToEleven.
