The end-game armor set called "Stardust Armor" is possibly a reference to the manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, specifically the third story arc called Stardust Crusaders. The armor itself can summon a ghost-like guardian that will automatically defend the summoner at close range, akin to how the Stands from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure function.

It's possible the NPC "Party Girl" is a reference to the character "Pinkie Pie" from the TV show, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". Her hair style, color scheme, general demeanor and dialogue suggests a similarity between the two. Some of her potential names are "Trixy" and "Sparkle", possibly also referencing characters from the series.
