History Trivia / SuperRobotWars30

* NoExportForYou: {{Zigzagged}} - unlike the UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} versions of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'' and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsX'', ''30'' is the first ''Super Robot Wars'' game that can be bought internationally in all countries, but Venezuela[[note]]Likely due to various sanctions placed on the nation[[/note]]. However, the Sony UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 and UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch versions still play this straight, with the caveat that like other "International Era" games, these versions aren't region-locked at the hardware level and can be imported at will.

** This game marks the first North American appearances of ''Getter Robo Daikessen!!'', ''Anime/BravePoliceJDecker'', and ''Anime/GaoGaiGarFinal'' in any medium (in the latter case, managing to edge out the Discotek release of ''FINAL'' by about a year and a half).

** This game marks the first North American appearances of ''Getter Robo Daikessen!!'', ''Anime/BravePoliceJDecker'', and ''Anime/GaoGaiGarFinal'' in any medium.

** Creator/TakahiroSakurai voices both [[Characters/CodeGeassSuzakuKururugi Suzaku Kururugi]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans McGillis Fareed]].

** Edge is voiced by Creator/TomokazuSugita, previously [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Bullet]], [[Characters/EndlessFrontier Hamelin]], and [[Characters/MasouKishin Gaen]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There are references to a new CombinationAttack implied to be a variant of the Final Dynamic Special in the game's code; given that such an attack does not appear in the Expansion Pack, it appears to have been scrapped for unknown reasons.

** The AI system associated with [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ the Angels]] and used on units like the Asclepius]] has some of its voicelines (normally an ''incredibly'' deep BadassBaritone) replaced with [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Kusuha's]] high-pitched voice due to a coding error.

** Creator/YuichiNakamura provides the voices of [[Characters/SuperRobotWars30 Caruleum Vaull]] and [[LightNovel/KnightsAndMagic Horatio Kojass]].

* ActingForTwo:

* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** Edge Sainklaus and Caruleum Vaull are voiced by Creator/TomokazuSugita and Creator/YuuichiNakamura, respectively. They're notorious real life friends and both are known for voicing pairs of rivals in various series. Yet despite them having been in [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration the same game]] before, set in two different worlds in the same {{Continuity}} (as [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Brooklyn Luckfield]] and [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsDestiny Joshua Radcliffe]], respectively, and as [[Characters/MasouKishin Gaen and Fang Zan Bisias]], respectively), this will be the first time their relationship (rivalry) will be much more pronounced.
** Likewise, Sugita as Edge and Creator/MaiAizawa as Az Sainklaus have been in a few series together, such as [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Toval Randonneur and Celine Millstein (or Michael Irving and Louise)]], respectively, including Brooklyn and [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationSteelDragonBattleGroup Azuki Sawa]]. They even host the ''Super Robot Wars'' Umasugi Wave weekly internet radio show together. The Premium version of the soundtrack even lets you use ''Ai to Seigi no Umasugi WAVE'' as a theme for the originals, just to keep the joke going.
** The two chief antagonists, Caruleum Vaull and Orchidacea, are voiced by Creator/YuuichiNakamura and Creator/HoukoKuwashima. Though they're not as closely linked as with the other series, ''Original Generation'' players will recognize them as the two protagonists of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsDestiny'': [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsDestiny Joshua Radcliffe and Cliana Rimskaya]].

* ThrowItIn: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dv0uqQcTF4 Lelouch]] [[CallingYourAttacks calling out his attacks like a]] SuperRobot pilot was because of Creator/JunFukuyama making a joke ad-lib. The creators of ''Anime/CodeGeass'' liked it so much that they decided to keep it in.

** Even though Hiroyuki Miyasaka reprised his role as [[Anime/MazingerZInfinity the male half of Baron Ashura]] in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsT'', he is replaced by Creator/RyotaTakeuchi in ''30''.

* NamesTheSame:
** The game features two debuting series that have protagonists with the first name "Yuuta" - [[Anime/BravePoliceJDecker Tomonaga]] and [[Anime/SSSSGridman Hibiki]]. {{Lampshaded}} when the two of them first meet.
** There's also [[Manga/MajesticPrince Tamaki Irie]] and [[Anime/CodeGeass Shinichiro Tamaki]]. Though in this case the former has Tamaki as her first name whereas the latter has Tamaki as his last name. The shared name gets lampshaded in the "Deep Recon" mission when Patrick calls out to Irie only for the Shinichiro to perk up, prompting Lelouch to correct the latter.
** Also from ''Majestic Prince'', we have Kei Kugimiya who shares her first name with Kei from ''[[Manga/GetterRobo Getter Robo Armageddon]]''.
** The DLC characters have [[VideoGame/SakuraWars Shinjiro Taiga]] and [[Manga/{{Ultraman}} Shinjiro Hayata]]. In the case of the former, he also shares the same last name with [[Anime/GaoGaiGarFinal Kotaro Taiga]].
** The Expansion Pack brings with it [[Anime/ShinkansenHenkeiRoboShinkalion Hayato Hayasugi]] and the ''[[Manga/GetterRobo Getter Robo Devolution]]'' incarnation of Hayato Jin. There is also [[Anime/ShinkansenHenkeiRoboShinkalion Hokuto Hayasugi]] and [[Manga/{{Ultraman}} Seiji Hokuto]], a similar case to the two Tamaki above.

** The final pack of {{DLC}} includes a special loadout for Scopedog from Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS and a ultimate version of Dancougar, both designed ''specifically'' for Super Robot Wars 30.

** The same goes for [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh]] showing up in Taipei.

** In the 1st DLC, the mission where you recruit the ''Anime/VoltesV'' takes place in Manila, the capital of UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}} as a nod to how the show [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff is extremely popular there, even more so than in its home country.]]

** [[Anime/HeavyMetalLGaim Fannaria Amm]] also keeps the voice of Creator/ChiekoHonda.

* OvertookTheManga: The game's script was completed before ''Literature/KingOfKingsGaogaigarVSBetterman'' finished its run, forcing the development team to omit large swathes of the story's action and hastily write in new plotlines to fill in for various uncertainties.

** In the DLC, [[Anime/{{Dancougar}} Ryo Shiba]] still reused the decades old recording of Creator/KanetoShiozawa.
