''Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier'' is an EasternRPG for the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS released in May 2008. Although this SpinOff does not take place in the same universe as the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'' games, it is nonetheless [[{{Continuity}} tied to]] [[GaidenGame its story]].

''Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier'' is an EasternRPG for the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS Platform/NintendoDS released in May 2008. Although this SpinOff does not take place in the same universe as the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'' games, it is nonetheless [[{{Continuity}} tied to]] [[GaidenGame its story]].



Understandably, ''EXCEED'' features an expanded cast. In addition to new faces, the entire cast of the previous game returns, including Reiji, Xiaomu, and KOS-MOS (who also brings [[VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}} M.O.M.O.]] along this time). ''EXCEED'' even pulls in [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Axel Almer]] and [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationSteelDragonBattleGroup Kouta Azuma]] from the main ''Original Generation'' installments, and Mark Hunter, a character from an obscure Banpresto UsefulNotes/SuperFamicom EasternRPG called ''Gaia Saver''. The combat system is also refined, doing away certain {{Scrappy Mechanic}}s and easing gameplay to fit the much wider selection of characters.

* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: With the exception of Aschen and Alady, who just beat enemies senseless with their {{Cyborg}} limbs and SupernaturalMartialArts, respectively, every single character is carrying at least one ridiculously sweet weapon that wouldn't make any sense in real life, whether because it's [[MixAndMatchWeapon slapping a bunch of normal weapons together]], impractically clumsy to use, or defies physics in some other way. Many of them are carrying multiple such weapons.



* MagicSkirt: Dorothy and Neige, whom can unload a variety of explosives from under their skirts against their foes.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory: EXCEED changes up the cancel timings on a lot of returning characters' moves; combined with these timings already being pretty strict a returning player is in for a hard adjustment period.

* SurplusDamageBonus: The first game grants more experience if you finish an opponent off with a Support Attack or an Overdrive. ''EXCEED'' awards bonus experience for an Overdrive finish depending on whether you destroyed one or more than one enemies at the end of battle, but a "Support Finish" (where a partner assigned to a front row fighter in the party achieves the final hit) nets additional gold, while an "Assist Finish" (a non-support only party member in the back row) fills the Frontier Gauge up. The latter's noteworthy as ''EXCEED'' allows the gauge to carry over for every fight. You also gain back a % of your SP equal to 1/10th of the maximum number of combo hits you did in that battle, meaning you can use Spirit Commands a lot more often than in the first game if you're good at juggling enemies.

The "Endless Frontier" is a collection of multiple worlds connected by dimensional portals known as "Cross Gates". In one of these worlds, BountyHunter and [[HandsomeLech amateur ladies man]] Haken Browning and his ArtificialHuman {{Sidekick}} Aschen Brodel explore the ruins of the crashed spaceship ''Mai Terra'', one they were both found in when Haken was just a baby. Inside they find, much to their surprise, a rather well-endowed young woman with an [[{{BFS}} enormous sword]] and a [[MsFanservice tiny dress]] sleeping in the crew's quarters. Turns out she's Kaguya Nanbu, TheOjou of one of the Frontier's worlds. Discovering there's a reward for her safe return, the pair decide to accompany her home. Since this is roughly the first ten minutes of the game, things naturally start to snowball from there: strange "Mild Kiel" crystals start sprouting up all over the Endless Frontier and some very familiar-looking robots connected with a war that happened ten years ago have reappeared again. Secrets, conspiracies, spankings, and lots and lots of boob jokes await.

Added DiffLines:

* TheWorfEffect: In ''EXCEED'', Rig the Guard shows how much he means business by taking control over KOS-MOS. If you have played ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'', you would have taken notice of KOS-MOS being a nigh-unstoppable fighting machine (and in the latest model which mowed down T-elos, the only one who ever beat her beforehand) with extreme willpower to even defy her own original programming [[spoiler:as Mary Magdalene]], and unlike the previous case of Aschen and Pete, Rig was from a separate verse than KOS-MOS, thus completely unrelated. [[spoiler:This is the catalyst of T-elos [[EnemyMine joining the heroes]], because as far as she's concerned, she's [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou the only one allowed to defeat KOS-MOS.]]]]

Remonving the ambiguous "mostly complete" bit. The fan translation has beem 100% completed since Jan 2021.


While the first game was localized and released in April 2009, [[NoExportForYou there's been no word of a localization]] for ''EXCEED'', although a mostly complete [[https://www.romhacking.net/translations/5492/ fan translation exists.]] However, Haken and Kaguya reappear in ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'', a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Namco X Capcom'', along with Reiji, Xiaomu, KOS-MOS and surprisingly, [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Sanger Zonvolt]] from the ''Original Generation'' series. Bringing this SpinOff full circle, in August 2016, Haken and Aschen appear in ''Original Generation'' {{Sequel}} ''The Moon Dwellers'', using [[HumongousMecha a full-sized version]] of the Phantom and Haken's [[SwissArmyGun "Night Fowl" rifle]] called the "Gespenst Haken".
