1* ActorExistenceLimbo - Creator/HirotakaSuzuoki, who voiced [[Franchise/{{Gundam}} Bright Noah]], died between 2 and The Final; all of Bright's lines in the latter are taken from the first game.
2* ActingForTwo:
3** [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Yazan Gable]], [[Anime/MetalArmorDragonar Tapp Oceano]], and [[Anime/HeavyMetalLGaim Mirao Kyao]] in the first game, with the latter two making a return appearance in 2.
4** Barrel [[spoiler: (almost literally) with Belkt]] in 3.
5** Ryuusei and [[Literature/FullMetalPanic Kurz Weber]] (Creator/ShinichiroMiki), Zero and [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Luca Angelloni]] (Creator/JunFukuyama), Kira, [[Anime/CodeGeass Gino Weinberg]] and [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Brera Sterne]] (Creator/SoichiroHoshi), and Shinn and Shin (Creator/KenichiSuzumura) in R. The latter's actually {{Lampshaded}} by Alto.
6* HeAlsoDid: Or rather [[Creator/FromSoftware the developer]], also produced [[VideoGame/DarkSouls a]] [[VideoGame/DarkSoulsII little]] [[VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII franchise]] [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} you]] [[VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice might]] have heard of before.
7* NoExportForYou: Due to the ridiculous difficulty in licensing all the mecha, it will never see release across the Pacific, especially the ones involving the Macross series (You can thank Harmony Gold for that one).
8* PreOrderBonus: ''R'' has Amuro's custom Zeta Gundam, originally seen in the IMAX film Green Divers and later in Gundam Evolve, that allows you to use it earlier than usual.
9* PostscriptSeason - [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]] is already over by the time R starts; the first stage has Shinn, Kira and Athrun Zala facing off against an unknown enemy using Earth Alliance mobile suits.
10* UrbanLegendOfZelda - It's ''astonishing'' how many people like to spread rumors the A.C.E. OriginalGeneration will one day appear in the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'' sub-series:
11** Considering [=SRW=] brought in characters from ''Hero Senki'' and ''Great Battle'', and A.C.E. is pretty much just [=SRW=] run through the VideoGame/ArmoredCore filter, this isn't as far out as it seems.
12*** Now there's a bit of reciprocity, if not, complete {{irony}}: [=SRW's=] own OriginalGeneration are part of R's lineup.
13*** And now the Gespenst models from ''Portable'' are appearing in ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Original Generations 2nd]]'', so it's not really an Urban Legend anymore.
14* WhatCouldHaveBeen - On Banpresto's official blog, WordOfGod said the team's first choice to round out the ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]'' cast in R was Four Murasame piloting the Psyco Gundam, but because of game balance concerns and a lack of weapons they ultimately went with Amuro and the Dijeh instead.
15** ''Anime/{{Macross 7}}'' was also considered for inclusion in R, but the design team couldn't figure out a way to make the "attack with music" system work in ''A.C.E.''. They ended up replacing it with ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', which caused the game to be delayed about a year while they changed things around.
16** In one of his blog posts, Terada mentioned that {{Super Robot|Genre}}s aren't normally supposed to get into ''A.C.E.'', outside of Shin Getter Robo and Aquarion, but some factors could change that[[note]]Specifically mentioned are popularity and ability to mesh with a 90s[=/=]2000s-style serious plotline[[/note]], and listed a bunch of shows that were considered but ultimately rejected. This list includes: ''Anime/{{Daitarn 3}}'', [[Anime/{{Braiger}} the J9 Trilogy]], ''Anime/ShippuIronLeaguer'', ''Anime/JushinLiger'', ''Saikyo Robo Daiohja'', ''Anime/{{Zambot 3}}'', ''Anime/SpaceWarriorBaldios'', ''Muteki Robo Trider G7'', ''Anime/MakyouDensetsuAcrobunch'', ''Anime/FutureRobotDaltanious'', the ''Eldran'' franchise, ''Anime/{{Goshogun}}'', the [[Anime/CombattlerV Nagahama]] [[Anime/VoltesV Romance]] [[Anime/{{Daimos}} Trilogy]], ''Anime/GoLion'', ''Anime/GodMars'', ''Anime/{{Gaiking}}'', ''Anime/KotetsuJeeg'', ''Anime/GEARFighterDendoh'', ''Anime/GodSigma'', ''Mechander Robo'', and ''Anime/{{Raideen}}''. Also mentioned as prime candidates were ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'' and ''Anime/NinjaSenshiTobikage''.
