Context YMMV / SuperRobotWars64

Go To

1* EnsembleDarkhorse: Despite ''64'' being overshadowed by ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance'' and [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness seen as an old-school installment with outdated game-play systems that would be a pain to revisit in the modern era]], the game's original characters (Brad Skywind, Manami Hamill, Arklight Blue and Selain Meneth) and {{Mecha}} are fondly remembered by a portion of the overall fandom. Played with, however, because this is speaking in terms of the scope of the franchise - with regards to this game, the aforementioned characters are the protagonists of their respective ''64'' stories.
2* EpilepticTrees: In general, this game spawns a whole bunch of them, given that ''Advance'' practically re-used the mechanical designs of the ''64'' original robots, but turned them into {{Expy}}, leading to hints ''64'' and ''Advance'' take place in the same setting. Making things even more fun is that the ''64'' characters will never show up in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'' due to implied ExecutiveMeddling (see the Trivia page), but who's to say some elements of them weren't carried over into that {{Continuity}} either (or, at least, not as players know them in this game)?
3** The man whom Master Viror Sunder goes after: by any chance, could he have been meant to be [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationAntagonists Beowulf]]? Recall that in ''Original Generation 2'', Beowulf explicitly pilots a machine designated as the Gespenst MK III.
4** If Manami Hamill were carried over into ''Original Generation'', would she have been {{related|InTheAdaptation}} to [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Kirk Hamill]]? Supporting this argument is that multiple characters throughout the franchise hailing from different games are never related with one another unless explicitly specified, but those who share the same surname upon crossing into ''Original Generation'' are almost always a relative of the other ([[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Raidiese F. Branstein]] with [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationSteelDragonBattleGroup Elzam von Branstein]], for instance). Although [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Excellen Browning]], [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lemon Browning]] and [[Characters/EndlessFrontier Haken Browning]] are the exception, even they wound up having a significant narrative tie-in with one another via [[spoiler:AlternateUniverse counterpart (Excellen and Lemon) and OppositeSexClone (Lemon and Haken)]].
