The game has the following trivia:

• Hey, It's That Voice!: In Japanese, Zaka is voiced by Kazuya Nakai, also known for his role as Roronoa Zoro. And he's Steven Blum in English, so there's any number of reasons to squee for that.
  • Likewise, the Ohtsukas (aka Solid Snake and Big Boss) voice Jaeger and Gregor. Now if only Jaeger had got a giant Ragnite Payload Lance and went "I AM THE NIGHTMARE OF GALLIA". Also, Lelouch and Suzaku's Japanese VAs come back for another round (as Maximilian and Faldio, respectively). Not to mention... Maxmillian is almost like a 100% evil Emperor Lelouch.
  • It's hard not to think of Revy whenever Rosie finished a sentence with "-da ze" (which was often).
  • There's also how Cordelia is obviously voiced by Mamiko Noto in the way she used to voice Mercedes.
  • Jann the bender is Bender!
  • Irene Koller (the narrator) and Ms. Ellet (who turn out to be the same person) are voiced in English by Kari Wahlgren, the voice of Ashe from Final Fantasy XII and Raine Sage from Tales of Symphonia.
  • In fact, chances are anyone who's savvy about English voice actors will recognize quite a few of them. Among others, Welkin is Dave Wittenberg (Kakashi), Alicia is Colleen O'Shaughnessey (Sora, Genis, and KOS-MOS), Rosie is Hedy Burress (Yuna), Largo is Fred Tatasciore (The Hulk, Saren, and additional voices in everything), and Faldio is Robin Atkin Downes (Luxord and Travis Touchdown).
    • Dammit! Now I have the mental image of the sevens screwing up, and Faldio shouting "TEEEEEEEEAM!"
  • Gregor is voiced in English by Roger Jackson, who is perhaps best known for voicing Mojo Jojo from Powerpuff Girls, and the Phone Voice(s) from the Scream franchise.
  • Quinton Flynn (Raiden), Nolan North (Nathan Drake), and Sam Riegel (Donatello) feature, not to mention Yuri Lowenthal (who is in enough anime and games to qualify as his own trope) who appears as Johann in the expansion.
  • Alex Raymond has nearly the same voice as the famous blue mascot of another series created by SEGA...
  • Tohru Honda was incarnated as a Darcsen (or Daruk if you play the Japanese/Asian version).
  • The Japanese voice actor for Captain Varrot is Atsuko Tanaka, whom you might have heard before in the role of a certain other female military commander.
    • She'd get along handsomely with Jaeger, methinks.
  • Gihren Zabi with the help of Kira Yamato and Heero Yuy and Lafiel will purge Gallia of the oldtypes! SIEG GALLIA!
  • Perhaps the strangest of all is that April Stewart, the voice of Selvaria Bles, is arguably best known for her voice talents for practically every female character in the series South Park, of all things!
  • Murdock decided to join Gallian politics as the prime minister, who began to play both the Federation and the Empire and was executed on the orders of Tunnel Rat as he does not want to work with a double crosser.
  • If you've played Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War, you should know that Welkin already has some experience saving his nation's leader - from a much more dire situation, in fact. And managed to evade Mobius One's wrath a few times.
  • Welkin (Dave Wittenberg) is also known as a certain Clown with a famous 16-bit laugh. When he's not embracing nature, he's destroying it. Sweet dreams.
  • Alicia should consider bringing a shovel to the frontlines as a melee weapon.
• What Could Have Been: An old base for Faldio had sleek, black hair and glasses, before his look was finalized. Rather than scrap the design entirely, it was folded into the creation of Mica. This could explain why Mica has a "main character" appearance.

The anime has the following trivia:

• Fan Nickname: Faldio is often referred to as 'Superman' for his ability to do no wrong at certain points in the anime. Probably to make his eventual fall that much more shocking.
  • Maximilian has been called 'Maxi-pad' by people who are familiar with the game, due to the fact that he seems to be a mama's boy and well, just look at Lelouch's profile.
  • Early on, the series itself was nicknamed 'Kana Goes To War' on account of Alicia's various goofy facial expressions.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: Maximilian's brother is Hikaru Midorikawa. Too bad it doesn't go into the Relationship Voice Actor territory since they pretty much want to oust one another.
• Name's the Same: The new guy, Karl, shares a name with one of the squaddies. Perhaps they got around that by never referring to the name of the Gallian Karl.
• The Other Darrin:
  • Largo changes his seiyuu from Hisao Egawa to Kenji Nomura. So he now fires his anti-tank shell from his -- GIGANTIC TAGER!!!
  • Junko Minagawa does Rosie in place for Megumi Toyoguchi.
