* CreatorCouple: Creator/YuriLowenthal, voice of Cornelius, is the husband of Creator/TaraPlatt, voice of Myris and Griselda.

* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** Creator/AyakoKawasumi with Creator/TomokazuSeki as Onyx. Hmm, [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight where]] [[Manga/RaveMaster have]] [[Manga/{{Genshiken}} we seen]] [[Manga/NodameCantabile this]] [[VideoGame/GateKeepers relationship]] [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood before...?]]
** Also, many of the female voice cast will reunite again, in some cases even with ''similar'' roles, in the ''Anime/QueensBlade'' franchise.
** [[Creator/MamikoNoto Mercedes]] and [[Creator/TakakoHonda Elfaria]] are [[Anime/HellGirl Ai and Hone-Onna]].

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Creator/NorioWakamoto as a {{Shinigami}} {{Mook}} named Halja. Oh, he also gets to speak in sentences rather than just grunt when one [[spoiler:claims Oswald's life in Gwendolyn's chapter]].
** Other notable voices includes Creator/MamikoNoto, Creator/FumihikoTachiki and Creator/TomokazuSeki.
** Creator/AyakoKawasumi as Gwendolyn and Creator/TomokazuSeki as Onyx in their usual RelationshipVoiceActor. Their characters are either each other's love interest or he has an unrequited love for her and refuses to take no for an answer; this game being the latter.
*** There's also the revamp of the game giving Gwendolyn an attack very similar to Nibelung Valesti from VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile. Kawasumi played Silmeria, the youngest of the three Valkyrie sisters, in ValkyrieProfile2Silmeria
** The English dub is basically a ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' reunion (concerning the playable characters, at least). [[Creator/KarenStrassman Gwendolyn]] is Soifon, [[Creator/YuriLowenthal Cornelius]] is Keigo, [[Creator/StephanieSheh Mercedes]] is Orihime, [[Creator/DerekStephenPrince Oswald]] is Uryu, and [[Creator/MichelleRuff Velvet]] is Rukia.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: The translation is rife with careless errors (as opposed to {{Woolseyism}}s), making its lack of criticism a testament to the effort and quality behind the game's original script. They show up about every 5 to 10 lines, so here are just a few major ones in case you wondered how else the script fit together.
** Odette actually has a very good reason to punish Psypher wielders, explaining, [[spoiler:"You toy with the cycle of souls using that spear."]] It was scrambled into the very arbitrary, [[spoiler:"You're risking your very soul by playing with that spear,"]] with no further explanation.
** Oswald's MoralDissonance as a political assassin gets lost. [[spoiler:"As you commanded, I have disposed of the Paladins in opposition."]] became [[spoiler:"As you command. The Paladins who were in opposition have [[DirtyCoward hidden themselves in secrecy]]."]] Hence his [[{{Foreshadowing}} ominous exchange]] with a Paladin beforehand.
** The above becomes unintentionally [[HypocriticalHumor funny]] when combined with a later fudge- Oswald kills a villain with the justification, "[[spoiler:I cannot allow someone as [[{{Hypocrisy}} evil as you]] to continue to live...]]" Especially since he highlights his own lack of morals first. Originally he just said "[[spoiler:[[CombatPragmatist You're too dangerous to let live]]]]," and [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome he's right]].
** Others are very random. A resigned Lilipat's line, [[spoiler:"So the army we cobbled together was not enough after all,"]] became "I suppose random assaults proved to be an effective strategy in this situation." It did not match any context, making it blurted out of nowhere.
** The full scale of Ingway's manipulations near the end of the fifth book. [[spoiler:"If the Halja come this way, I shall easily be able to sneak in," was "With the Halja headed this way, it should be easier for her to sneak in."]] Unknown to everyone, he [[spoiler:had helped Mercedes save Brom from the Underworld]] during her story.
** Had trouble looking for [[EyeOfNewt Troll Molars]] until late in the game? They switched the word "Trolls" with "Goblins" in your main hint.
