* NoExportForYou: The visual novel has not been licensed and translated officially in any form as of this writing. In a September 2021 interview with [=4Gamer=], it was stated that a PC port for ''A piece of blue glass moon'' on Steam would ideally come with English and Chinese language options at minimum but this plan is currently not on the table.

* ReferencedBy: Chie Rumiko from ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' is confirmed to be an {{expy}} of Ciel.
** VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeShadowsOfNewYork features an NPC named "Princess" who looks and dresses identically to Arcueid and threatens a player in a way similar to describing her "Reality Marble" ability.

* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Kirei Kotomine]] and Nvrnqsr Chaos are both voiced by Creator/JojiNakata and Creator/JamiesonPrice (although Price only voices Kirei in the DEEN anime adaptations of ''Fate/stay night'').
** [[Creator/KaedeHondo Ciel]] and [[Creator/ShinoShimoji Akiha]] in the remake. [[VideoGame/BattleGirlHighSchool They work together as a pair of idols]] fighting against otherworld invaders.

* DoingItForTheArt: Though ''VisualNovel/MahouTsukaiNoYoru'' is famously one of the most visually pleasing visual novels ever made, the intense production took a toll on art director Hirokazu Koyama, so the remake's art team was mandated with creating less detailed artwork for the sake of people's health. The art team forgot this mandate as they got caught up in work and went all in anyway for the remake.

* ExtremelyLengthyCreation: The remake was announced in 2008, but making ''VisualNovel/MahouTsukaiNoYoru'' was the bigger priority, so it took until 2012 to confirm that the remake was in production... only for ''Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks'' and ''especially'' ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' in 2014 to take up more time than expected with the latter requiring any non ''Grand Order'' production to be halted indefinitely during its launch period. It would take ''Grand Order'' being stable around 2017 to bring the remake out of hiatus and start work again, with making it the highest priority so other projects wouldn't delay it yet again, finally seeing release in 2021.

* TroubledProduction: The ''Tsukihime'' remake took ''long'' in the making, rumored and vaguely hinted at for years (since Type-Moon had ''money'' after ''F/SN'' and wanted to go back and clean up the rough bits), and finally got officially announced at the end of the manga adaptation in 2008... and aside from occasional updates promptly disappeared into deep DevelopmentHell again, especially once the wider ''Fate'' 'verse picked up steam and became a genuine media juggernaut. It was confirmed in a release day interview that they had actually started development on it after releasing ''VisualNovel/MahouTsukaiNoYoru'' in 2012, only for a year later to have to completely halt everything in 2013 for ''Fate/Grand Order'', and by 2017, they essentially decided to start development from scratch to produce the game that actually made it to storefronts. It was also noted that the visual team extended development time significantly by going all in on the [=CGs=] and graphics. By the end of 2020, ''A piece of blue glass moon'' was finally given the release window of Summer 2021 and it came out on August 26 that year.

** Takeuchi wanted to release the remake on PC, but out of preference and nostalgia, Nasu convinced him that they only needed to release it on the Nintendo Switch and [=PlayStation=] 4. Though later Nasu stated that if it was released on PC, a translated version would pretty much a must and even if you were to only translate it to English and Chinese, both translating it and formatting the text would be too large of a task for them to ask for.
