• Celebrity Voice Actor: In the Japanese version, Jaster is voiced by veteran actor Hiroshi Tamaki and Kisala is voiced by actress/singer Aya Ueto.
• Directed by Cast Member: In the English version, Wendee Lee is Mother Rune's voice actress as well as one of the ADR directors.
• Fake Brit: American Yuri Lowenthal voices the English-accented Steve.
• Fake Scot: English actor Greg Ellis used a Scottish accent when he played Simon Wicard in the English version.
• What Could Have Been: Rogue Galaxy started its development as the third installment of the Dark Cloud series before it became its own title, as the developers wanted to try something new rather than do another game in a fantasy setting:
  • Jaster was planned to be the main protagonist of Dark Cloud 3 from the very start and was called Jenus during development, complete with a different getup than his desert wastelander outfit. Kisala was also conceived from the start, but not much is know about her early plans.
  • The Georama System would return in a much bigger scale, requiring the player to rebuild planets to advance the story. However, Sony didn't understand how this version of the Georama System would work and ordered Level 5 to scrap it and replace it with something more simple, resulting in the creation of the Factory System. Sony's decision also made sense, as the Georama System was a major part of the story in the previous two games, and there was no way to include it in the game without an in-universe reason.
  • The game once had the title Dark Chronicle: Rogue Galaxy during production, but since the game distanced itself a lot from its predecessors, the developers dropped the title, turning the game into its own IP. An early title screen with the name can still be found inside the game's files (although misspelled as "Rougue Galaxy"), alongside an even earlier version of it. The "Dark Cloud 3" name is also spotted inside an empty folder of the Playstation 2 version of Dragon Quest VIII, which uses the same engine as Dark Chronicle and Rogue Galaxy, implying it was being developed alongside DQVIII.
• Working Title: Dark Cloud 3 and Dark Chronicle: Rogue Galaxy.
