Trivia about ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' includes:
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Disco Lord Yggdrasil.
 
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The English voice cast in a lot of ways embodies the transition period between popular 90's voice actors and voice actors who would become popular as the 00's went on.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: (Japanese version) In the sequel, Collete thinks that Regal trains spies to "[[Metal Gear Solid|hide in cardboard boxes]] and steal top-secret info from rival companies".
* [[Media Research Failure]]: [[Nintendo Power]] Magazine incorrectly referred to Raine as Genis' mom.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Disco Lord Yggdrasil.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The English voice cast in a lot of ways embodies the transition period between popular 90's voice actors and voice actors who would become popular as the 00's went on.
** Lloyd clearly having the voice of [[Scott Menville]], aka [[Teen Titans (animation)|Robin]] and [[Captain Planet|Ma-Ti]]. Also, Kratos' VA is Cam Clarke, who lent his voice in [[Akira|several]] [[Kingdom Hearts|other]] [[The Lion King|productions]], [[God of War (series)|as]] [[Jade Empire|well]], [[Metal Gear Solid|brrrrother!]]
** Kratos? When will you learn [[Gungrave|how to turn yourself into a flaming missile]]?
*** Also, how's [[World of Warcraft|Silvermoon, Blood Elf]]?
** Oh great, [[Final Fantasy X|Tidus]] [[James Arnold Taylor|is back]] and here to complain about his family iss-- '''''[[Playing Against Type|did he just telekinetically slam]] [[The Hero]] [[Kick the Dog|into a wall and]] [[Kill'Em All|attempt to murder everybody so that he could]] {{spoiler|turn a sixteen year old girl into his sister's new body}}?!''''' Talk about [[Playing Against Type]]!
** The [[Big Bad]] is voiced by [[Final Fantasy X|Tidus]]!? (Well, half the time.)
*** So ''that's'' why his laugh is so annoying!
** [[Jennifer Hale|Samus? Bastila?]] Why are you a clumsy big-boobed ninja? Shouldn't you be fighting [[Metroid|Metroids]] and [[Knights of the Old Republic|Sith]]?
*** [[Mass Effect|Or saving the galaxy as one of the greatest]] [[Badass|badasses]] ever?
** Forcystus is also [[The Other Darrin]] for [[Scarface|Tony Montana]]
** Magnius also voices [[Halo|various Grunts and Brutes]].
** Rodyle is, variously [[Team America: World Police|Spotswoode]], [[Digimon Adventure|Myotismon]] [[Digimon Frontier|and Mercurymon]], [[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents|Timmy's Dad and Cosmo]], and [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|the Club Skum MC from "Hobgoblins"]].
*** He's not Vamdemon, that's Richard Epcar you're thinking of.
*** Not to mention [[Veronica Mars|Cliff Freakin McCormack]].
** Remiel is also [[Batman: Arkham Asylum|The Riddler]] and [[Bleach|Renji Abarai]].
** Both Luna and Pronyma are actually [[Celebrity Deathmatch|Tally Wong]], [[X -Men Legends|Psylocke]], and [[Final Fantasy X-2|LeBlanc]].
*** Least we forget that she is also [[Jade Empire|Silk FOX]], [[Team America: World Police|Sarah]], and [[Dead or Alive|Lisa.]]
** Colette has had an on-and-off job as [[Land Before Time|Ducky]].
Line 26 ⟶ 29:
** In the sequel, Sheena is [[Eternal Sonata|Viola]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Mai Valentine]].
* [[I Knew It!]]: Some people saw the {{spoiler|somewhat unorthodox [[Luke, I Am Your Father]] twist coming.}} Others came close {{spoiler|by believing the two characters to be brothers or connected in some other way.}}
* [[Name's the Same]]: No, Kratos is not Kratos from ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]''. [[Older Than They Think|The fact that he came first should make that more obvious]].
** Coincidentally, this Kratos can obtain the title "War God".
** Though while the spelling is the same, they are pronounced quite differently. (Krah-tos vs Kray-tos)
* [[Names to Know in Anime]]:
** [[Katsuyuki Konishi]] - Lloyd
Line 41 ⟶ 47:
** Kratos clearly shows that [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Gendo Ikari]] {{spoiler|isn't getting any better as a father to the main character anytime soon.}}
** [[Nobuhiko Okamoto]] - Wonder Chef in the OVA specials.
* [[No Export for You]]:
** Averted after ''ten years'': The PS2 release of ''Tales of Symphonia'' was bundled with ''Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World'' for the PS3, complete with a graphical update, in the "Tales of Symphonia Chronicles" two-pack for North America and Europe.
** None of the [[OVA|OVAs]]s have been released outside of Japan. Fortunately, the fans have translated them.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: [[Brian Beacock]] is the new English voice post-first game, with intense debate resulting. Popular opinion seems to be that, while Beacock did a good job, [[Scott Menville]]'s hot-headed approach just suits our [[Idiot Hero]] Lloyd better. Also a rare example of this actually working to the story's advantage. It's a plot point that a Lloyd imposter is walking around in ''Dawn of the New World''. Had Menville returned, it would've been blazingly obvious which of them was fake.
