Linkin Park Plagarism
Warner Bros. Records sued Monolith Soft for unintentional Plagarism of several Linkin Park songs, including "From The Inside"(Hybrid Theory) and "Crawling"(The End). Monolith Soft won because the Plagarism was unintentional, and was also used since Dustin Bennington was based off Chester Bennington.

Special Edition Download Glitch
The first 200 Japanese copies of the 3DS Special Edition(Which includes digital Download codes for The first two Project X Zone games) had a glitch that if you enter the download code of the First Project X Zone game, then it would lead to corruption of all your save data on your SD Card. Luckily, this would be patched in later prints and International versions.

Feminism Outcry
Feminist Frequency criticized the game for it's female Fanservice, which they almost got the game pulled from international release, but they still released it in the US, and responded in the Switch Version with giving every female a swimsuit as an alternate costume.

Sonic and Palutena's Relationship
The Romance between Sonic The Hedgehog and Palutena in game was criticized for reminding various fans about the Catastrophe that was Sonic and Elise. Monolith Soft cleared it up when they said "Sonic Characters are at least 50% Human."

Trivia

 * The game sold over 1,000,000 copies in it's first week internationally, with the Switch version selling 1,500,000 in it's first week, making this the highest selling game in the Project X Zone series.
 * The 3DS Version recieved Mixed to Positive Reviews. Famitsu gave the game a 98 out of 100, while IGN gave it a 8/10. The Switch Version got the Higher scores of 99 and 8.5 Respectively.
 * The Story in Project X Zone III is considered by both fans and critics to be the "Darkest" in the series, due to characters on the Hero side Dying, and the serious subject of depression being talked about when it comes to Dustin Bennington.
 * The Depression subject was cut from the US and PAL Releases, instead, it was changed to Dustin being Stoic and always emotionless.
 * A reason why it was cut was since Dustin was based off Late Lead Vocalist of Linkin Park, Chester Bennington, and Monolith Soft didn't want to deal with controversy from Linkin Park fans.
 * The Anime Cutscenes are handled by Studio Trigger, however, the original Intro and Credits Animations are done by Madhouse.
 * The Game was originally gonna have an Eroge Mode(which would give the Female characters skimpy outfits, and gives you the option to date any of them, and then finally have sex with them.), but it was cut due to the risk of the game getting an M(ESRB)/Z(CERO) Rating, and more Feminism controversy.
 * However, A Mod exists that reinstates the Eroge elements, it was created a Year after the 3DS version was released, and it can only be accessed through Low level Mod Websites and can only be played through an emulator.
 * Amy Rose was included in as one of the girls in Eroge Mode, which gained some controversy in itself for various reasons.
 * Sonic The Hedgehog's relationship with Palutena in game is a call back to a song done by the seiyuus of Sonic and Palutena respectively, "DO YOU LOVE ME".
 * SEGA originally pitched Akira Kurusu and Ann Takamaki, with Futaba Sakura(and the rest of the Phantom Thieves.), from Persona 5 as characters in the game, with Atlus being a sub-division of SEGA, but were scrapped during development.
