* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** Creator/HikaruMidorikawa (Hiro), Creator/ChisaYokoyama (Lucia), and Creator/RyotaroOkiayu (Ronfar) would then go on to play in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing''.
** Later on in their careers, they end up being on opposite sides against one another but in this game, Creator/HikaruMidorikawa (Hiro) ends up joining forces with Creator/AyaHisakawa (Jean).
* {{Talking to H|imself}}erself: Jenny Stigel voiced both Jean and Ruby. If not for the pitch-change applied to Ruby's voice, they would sound exactly the same.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the remake, Lucia was supposed to have an entire animated musical number at Taben's Peak, just like Luna did on the boat in ''Silver Star Story'', but it had to be scrapped.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Quite unlike ''Silver Star'', ''Eternal Blue'' hasn't gotten nearly as much love in terms of re-releases or remakes (with the last full physical release and print run of the game happening in 1999-2000), and as a result, physical copies have appreciated in price ''substantially'' - the Sega CD version in particular is one of the most sought-after SCD collectibles, period. And of course, no (legal) digital version was available. Though thankfully, it was eventually averted in Japan when it was announced that the SEGA CD version of ''Eternal Blue'' would be available for the Mega Drive Mini 2 in 2022, giving people a more accessible way to play the game legally. (Unfortunately, the Sega Genesis Mini 2 that was released in North America [[NoExportForYou does not have it]] or any of the other Working Designs translated games.)

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** The Working Designs translation for the Sega CD includes a line for "Killing [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]] made easy" as a small TakeThat. Barney was a ''huge'' target in the 1980s and 1990s, but quickly faded into nigh-irrelevance in the new millenium. This ''really'' makes the joke, and script, seem dated.
** And then there's the kid who wants to see ''Franchise/MortalKombat''-style violence. And the infamous Clinton joke. And Sally Struthers exploding... The original Sega CD version just has too many to list.

* MultiDiscWork: The original was released on three discs instead of two though for the large amount of cutscenes. Disc 2 was reached once you finally obtained a ship, and disc 3 marked the last act of the game being reached after the goddess tower.

* NoExportForYou: The UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn version of the remake, because of the fact that the Saturn had failed and virtually lost all market share in the States by the time both it and the UsefulNotes/PlayStation version were released in Japan.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: This game doesn't get as much love as [[VideoGame/LunarTheSilverStar the original]] in terms of being [[VideoGameRemake remade]], and most, if not all copies are difficult to obtain [[CrackIsCheaper at a reasonable price]].
