In the international release of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, every character's blood is colored red whereas in the Japanese release, all blood is colored white. Cyborg-based characters bleeding white blood in the Japanese release is consistent with the setting of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, where Raiden also used white blood. This also has an effect on Jetstream Sam's death scene, where he notably bleeds red blood compared to everyone else's white blood, revealing him to be almost purely human. An explanation of sorts for why every character's blood is red in the international version is provided in a codec call with Doktor during File R-01: Coup d'Etat:
Extra clarification is added to Sam's death scene as well due to this.
"Organic muscle fiber which allows extraction of nutrients from the bloodstream does exist, but it requires artificial blood for sufficient power output. This so-called "white blood" requires dialysis, and was mostly phased out once cyborg technology became mainstream."
Extra clarification is added to Sam's death scene as well due to this.

Jetstream Sam was primarily designed by Kenichirou Yoshimura who had initially planned on leaving PlatinumGames early in the development process of the game after it was handed over to them. However, three days before he was scheduled to leave, Yoshimura had stumbled onto what some of the concept artists were working on, asking if they needed any suggestions. He was enraged that they weren't taking the Metal Gear concept seriously in the development process and that they "cannot place this in a Metal Gear game!" He decided to stay for half a year beyond schedule until he was certain that it was up to the standards of Metal Gear.

Metal Gear Rising was originally developed as an open world game set in the time period between Metal Gear Solid 2 and 4. Hampered by their own preconceptions about what a Metal Gear game should be like, and given little direction by Hideo Kojima, the team assigned to the project was struggling to make a coherent game due to the different directions the developers thought they should take. Eventually, Kojima asked Platinum Games to develop the game. Platinum became the game's developer, but the game's cutscenes, story, and setting were still heavily supervised by Kojima Productions.

There is a white cat that appears twice during the game. The cat appears first in File 1 at the beach. If Raiden attempts to attack the cat, it will dodge the attack and can even be forced into the ocean until it's completely underwater. The cat appears later during File 3. During Monsoon's pre-battle monologue, if Raiden looks to the right the cat will appear again and one of the assassins accompanying Monsoon will pet and play with the cat.

Kojima initially wanted Gray Fox to play the main role in the game, but made the decision to have Raiden take the main role instead. This was to allow the younger members of his team to take control of the game.
