It does have references, like the pulsating moonlight or the appearance of Ed McAllister and his reference to Garcian's briefcase, amongst a number of others but those are otherwise totally unrelated to previous games.The moon pulsating is just a fragment of Garcian's past, that represents the moment he left Emir behind at the UH rooftop.
Ed McAllister's appearance is just so that you know that something's up with Garcian. How the hell does someone from that Hotel know Garcian if it's the first time Garcian ever enters the building? (this would be the right moment for a "...NOT" joke, but it's a lame one so I won't use it.... NOT!) The Ed McAllister/briefcase reference is either directed towards the japanese audience, or/and at the very least, an inside joke amongst the GHM staff. Nothing important that I need to know.
The TV, with every persona inside means quite simply that those personas aren't even real people to begin with. It may or may not be a reference to Moonlight Syndrome, but who cares? It doesn't matter.I see all of those things as idiosyncrasies, if you will - not plot points.
because of their experience with Suda's previous games, so they will naturally pick the similarities and thus even theorize about killer7's relation with previous games even if in reality there isn't one.
As far as I know, the only thing outside the game you really need to understand to figure it out, is US<->Japan politics.
