1* ActingForTwo: Creator/KateHiggins is one of, if not the only person (in either language) to play two party members in a single Tales game who are in no way meaningfully related. Though these two roles are seperated by a TimeSkip.
2* ActorAllusion: [[VideoGame/TalesOfRebirth Veigue]] asks to find the sword Requiem, which looks like the 2P version of [[VideoGame/SoulSeries Siegfried's weapon]]. Both are voiced by Creator/NobuyukiHiyama in Japanese.
3** Asbel has two allusions to his Japanese voice actor, Creator/TakahiroSakurai in the re-release: a crossover DLC costume that alludes to [[VideoGame/DotHackGU Haseo]] and another that alludes to [[Anime/CodeGeass Suzaku Kururugi]].
4* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: The European Day One Edition came with some rather nice and shiny bonuses[[note]]a DVD containing an interview with Hideo Baba, the OST, an artbook and a code for the ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny'' costumes[[/note]] to make up for the late release.
5* MarthDebutedInSmashBros:
6** Veigue, Kohak ([[DubNameChange Amber]]), and Reala (Unless you count the ShoutOut in ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'') cameoed as bonus bosses in this game.
7*** Hilariously enough, in America, the trophy for beating Veigue, Amber, and Reala is a reference to the fact that this is their first stateside appearance; it's titled "Who Were Those Guys, Again?"
8** ''Plenty'' of characters from the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' whose games never got localized have appeared in the form of cartas; examples include characters from ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny2'', ''VideoGame/TalesOfRebirth'', ''VideoGame/TalesOfInnocence'', ''VideoGame/TalesOfHearts'' (this one would get a [[RemadeForTheExport re-release in 2014]]), ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheTempest'', and [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia even Patty was this at the time]].
9** Given that the [=PS3=] version of ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' [[NoExportForYou wasn't released internationally]] [[RemadeForTheExport until 2019]] , some of its content ended up debuting in Graces ƒ first:
10*** Sophie gets a Patty cameo costume (and not as a DLC outfit, it's unlockable within the game), as well as the battle theme that plays while using it (known as Lost Memories) that's used the Cursed Wanderer's/[[spoiler: Seifer's]] boss fight.
11*** Buying Malik's Raven DLC costume also gets you Yeager's boss theme (known as Leviathan's Claw).
12* NoExportForYou: The original game for the Wii never got localized, but strangely, the UpdatedRerelease for the Platform/{{PS3}} came to both the US and Europe. Probably due to the Wii version shipping with a GameBreakingBug.
13* RemadeForTheExport: The [=PS3=] port was what got localized.
14* ShoutOut: You can find an accesory for Sophie called the Moon Anklet, whose description notes [[Anime/SailorMoon "It would look great paired with a sailor-suit school uniform."]]
15* StarMakingRole: For many Westerners this game was the first time that they heard Creator/BrycePapenbrook and Creator/CassandraLeeMorris in leading roles (though both voice actors did have extensive work beforehand). From this game onward it became more common to see both voice actors in leading anime and J-game roles.
