History Trivia / SuperRobotWarsT

* ''Super Robot Wars T'', by dint of serendipity, will be the closest the franchise has come to having (nearly) every property involved being licensed for sale in North America prior to release since ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsW''. In fact, some of these were on the nose: ''Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS'' was picked up for licensing by Creator/{{HIDIVE}} roughly four months prior to the announcement of ''Terra'', while Creator/DiscotekMedia brought over the specific version of ''Anime/CaptainHarlock'' for this game in May 2017. The only properties not yet licensed for distribution are ''Anime/TheBraveExpressMightGaine'' and ''Invincible Robo Tryder G7'' ("Trider G7", however, did get a release in Italy during the [=1980s=]).

* PreOrderBonus: Like ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'' and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsX'', pre-ordering ''T'' will allow players at unlocking the Gespenst and the {{Deuteragonist}} as a pilot earlier in a play-through.

* TalkingToHimself

* PromotedFangirl: Making her third appearance, Christina Rose, who previously worked on the FanTranslation for ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden]]'' and the English versions of ''V'' and ''X'', returns as the lead translator for this game's localization.

** An inevitability with Creator/NobuyukiHiyama as he voices the protagonists of ''Might Gaine'' and ''[[Anime/{{GaoGaiGar}} The King of Braves GaoGaiGar]]''. Likewise, Creator/ShigeruNakahara for ''Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine'' due to a mixture of [[spoiler:{{Reincarnation}} and MyFutureSelfAndMe]] for Show Zama and Shion Zaba; similarly, Creator/ShowHayami reprises his role as Bern and Rabaan from ''Dunbine'' for the same reasons.

** Since the UC Gundam series does not use the latter installments like ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'', [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Bright Noa]] is once again using prerecorded lines by the late Creator/HirotakaSuzuoki.

** Among the main supporting cast of ''[[Anime/CaptainHarlock Arcadia of my Youth - Endless Orbit SSX]]'' are Creator/KeiTomiyama (Tochiro Oyama) and Creator/HiromiTsuru (Revi), both of whom have passed away. While Tochiro does appear, with Creator/KoichiYamadera taking Tomiyama's place, Revi's status is still up in the air.

** Creator/KoichiYamadera pulls triple duty as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Gyunei Guss]], Spike Spiegel, and Tochiro Oyama; on the same page, Creator/NorioWakamoto with [[Anime/GunBuster Koichiro Ota]], [[Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine Allen Brady]], and [[Anime/CowboyBebop Vicious]].

** Creator/KoichiYamadera pulls triple duty as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Gyunei Guss]], Spike Spiegel, and Tochiro Oyama.
** Creator/KonamiYoshida will likely play double duty here as [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth Umi Ryuuzaki]], along with [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Pagliacco/half of the Z-Master]] (depending on what parts of Anime/{{GaoGaiGar}}'s story are utilized).
** Once again Creator/HochuOtsuka gets to do double duty in two Gundam characters: [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Yazan Gable]] and [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Chibodee Crocket]], as will Creator/KappeiYamaguchi for [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Sai Saici]] and [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Tobia Arronax]].
** Creator/NorioWakamoto pulls a ''triple'' duty as [[Anime/GunBuster Koichiro Ota]], [[Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine Allen Brady]], and [[Anime/CowboyBebop Vicious]].
** Creator/MariaKawamura will get to reprise her roles as [[Anime/GunBuster Jung Freud]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Quess Paraya]] and [[Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine Cham Huau]].

* Though not exactly a new entry in the franchise, the inclusion of ''Anime/GunXSword'' is almost similar to a new entry, considering that all other titles in [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsK its debut]] are not in ''T'', the closest one was ''Anime/MazingerZ'' via its distant sequel ''Anime/MazingerZInfinity'', but seeing that in that game, the Mazingers were treated as PostScriptSeason {{Filler}} while the plot of ''Infinity'' plays a part in ''T'', this will still be a new experience for ''Anime/GunXSword''

** Amongst the main supporting cast of ''[[Anime/CaptainHarlock Arcadia of my Youth - Endless Orbit SSX]]'' are Creator/KeiTomiyama (Tochiro Oyama) and Creator/HiromiTsuru (Revi), both of them have also passed away. While Tochiro has been confirmed to appear in the second PV, with Creator/KoichiYamadera taking Tomiyama's place, Revi's status is still up in the airs.
** A year before the game was announced, voice actor Tamio Ohki ([[Anime/{{Gunbuster}} Captain Tashiro Tatsumi]]) passed away. As such, Tashiro ended up written out.

** {{Downplayed}} with ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'' and ''[[Anime/CaptainHarlock Arcadia of my Youth - Endless Orbit SSX]]'': neither were unpopular, but after their respective runs and some old SpinOff video games, they didn't get any new, substantial media entries in the [=2000s=] and early [=2010s=], staying as {{Cult Classic}}s, but their announcement in ''T'' re-started interest[[note]]In the case of ''Cowboy Bebop'', it gets further bumped thanks to Creator/{{Netflix}} announcing a live-action adaptation shortly after its inclusion for this game was revealed[[/note]].

** Creator/UnshoIshizuka had only recorded lines for [[Anime/CowboyBebop Jet]] before passing, so [[Anime/MazingerZInfinity Dr. Hell]] is now voiced by Atsuki Tani.

** Creator/KoujiTsujitani passed away a month before the debut trailer of the game. Regardless, [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Kincade Nau]] will still be playable, [[https://www.siliconera.com/2019/01/28/super-robot-wars-ts-second-english-subbed-trailer-charges-in-at-full-speed/ using lines recorded from previous games.]]
** Creator/UnshoIshizuka passed away months before the game was announced. However, he managed to record the lines necessary for [[Anime/CowboyBebop Jet Black]] in one of Spike's Bebop Formation attacks before passing away.

** As the game specifically uses ''Endless Orbit SSX'', Creator/MakioInoue (the first voice actor for Captain Harlock) returns for this game, [[HesBack coming out of his stated "retirement from the role" for that]]. Despite the gap between his last Harlock role being around 40 years, Inoue is noted to [[StillGotIt sound just like how he was in the past despite his current age.]]
** From the same entry, in a case that overlaps with TheOtherDarrin (see AuthorExistenceFailure), Tochiro Oyama lines for the game will be provided by Creator/KoichiYamadera, who previously voiced him in the ''Harlock Saga'' and ''Queen Emeraldas'' [=OVAs=].
** [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth The Magic Knights]]' original voice actors return in full and [[StillGotIt still sound like they were before]]. This is taking into account after UsefulNotes/TheNineties, it became rare to hear from Creator/KonamiYoshida and Creator/HirokoKasahara (Umi and Fuu, respectively), whereas Creator/HekiruShiina (Hikaru) was more active in UsefulNotes/TheNewTens, such as ''VisualNovel/DanganRonpaTriggerHappyHavoc''. Additionally, they also managed to bring back veteran voice actress Atsuko Takahata for her [[EvilIsHammy hammy]] EvilLaugh-ladden role of [[BigBad Lady Debonair.]]

** An inevitability with Creator/NobuyukiHiyama as he voices the protagonists of ''Might Gaine'' and ''[[Anime/{{GaoGaiGar}} The King of Braves GaoGaiGar]]''. Likewise, Creator/ShigeruNakahara for ''Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine'' due to a mixture of [[spoiler:{{Reincarnation}} and MyFutureSelfAndMe]] for Show Zama and Shion Zaba; similarly, Creator/ShowHayami reprises his role as both Bern and Rabaan from ''Dunbine'' for the same reasons.
** Creator/KoichiYamadera will be doing triple duty as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Gyunei Guss]], Spike Spiegel, and Tochiro Oyama.

* Though not exactly a new entry in the whole franchise, the inclusion of ''Anime/GunXSword'' is almost similar to a new entry, considering that all other titles in [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsK its debut]] are not in ''T'', the closest one was ''Anime/MazingerZ'' via its distant sequel ''Anime/MazingerZInfinity'', but seeing that in that game, the Mazingers were treated as PostScriptSeason {{Filler}} while the plot of ''Infinity'' plays a part in ''T'', this will still be a new experience for ''Anime/GunXSword''

* PromotedFangirl: Once again, Christina Rose, who previously worked on the FanTranslation for ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden]]'' and the English version of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsX'', returns as the lead translator for the English localization.
* RelationshipVoiceActor: [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV Previous]] [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsX installments]] and ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration The Moon Dwellers]]'' had several of its OriginalGeneration being voiced by alumni from the ''[[Creator/{{Koei}} Warriors]]'' series - [[Creator/TakeshiKusao Saizou]] and [[Creator/UmekaShoji Sagiri]] are [[VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors Sanada Yukimura and Aya Gozen/Takenaka Hanbei]], respectively.

** A year before the game was announced, voice actor Tamio Ohki ([[Anime/{{Gunbuster}} Captain Tashiro Tatsumi]]) passed away. This leads to the question whether Tashiro would either be written out or just reusing his previously recorded voices, since this would be the first time Gunbuster appeared in a voiced SRW after his death.
** On the villain side, they may have to recast [[Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine Shōji Oki (Drake Luft)]]. They did try to get away with reusing Drake's battle lines in BX but it had several awkward moments such as cut-ins of Drake doing his EvilLaugh without any sound. With the greater emphasis on Dunbine's plot this time around, recasting may be inevitable.

** Creator/UnshoIshizuka, the voice of Jet Black from ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', passed away almost three months prior to the announcement of ''Super Robot Wars T''. Whether the character will be re-cast, have no speaking role at all, if Ishizuka completed recorded dialogue before his passing or the developers will use re-cut audio from the show itself is unknown. This poses a bigger problem in the case of ''Anime/MazingerZInfinity'', since Ishizuka also did the incarnation of Dr. Hell there, and as the BigBad, Dr. Hell wouldn't have a choice but to appear.

* PosthumousCredit: Creator/KoujiTsujitani passed away a month before the debut trailer of the game. Regardless, [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Kincade Nau]] will still be playable, [[https://www.siliconera.com/2019/01/28/super-robot-wars-ts-second-english-subbed-trailer-charges-in-at-full-speed/ using lines recorded from previous games.]]

** The pair of Creator/TomokazuSeki and Creator/NarumiHidaka will have to do ''[[RelationshipVoiceActor two]]'' pairs this time, Tomokazu with [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon Kasshu]] and [[Manga/GetterRobo Go]], Narumi with [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Allenby Beardsley]] and [[Manga/GetterRobo Kei Kuruma]].

* ''Super Robot Wars T'', by dint of serendipity, will be the closest the franchise has come since ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsW'' where nearly early property has been licensed for sale in North America prior to release. In fact, some of these were on the nose: ''Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS'' was picked up for licensing by Creator/{{HIDIVE}} roughly four months prior to the announcement of ''Terra'', while Creator/DiscotekMedia brought over the specific version of ''Anime/CaptainHarlock'' for this game in May 2017.

** Creator/NorioWakamoto pulls a ''quadruple'' duty as [[Anime/GunBuster Koichiro Ota]], [[Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine Allen Brady, Bishott Hatt]] and [[Anime/CowboyBebop Vicious]].

** An inevitability with Creator/NobuyukiHiyama as he voices the protagonists of ''Might Gaine'' and ''[[Anime/{{GaoGaiGar}} The King of Braves GaoGaiGar]]''. Likewise, Creator/ShigeruNakahara for ''Anime/AuraBattlerDunbine'' due to a mixture of [[spoiler:{{Reincarnation}} and MyFutureSelfAndMe]] for Show Zama and Shion Zaba; similarly, Creator/ShowHayami reprises his role as both Bern and Rabern from ''Dunbine'' for the same reasons.

** Amongst the main supporting cast of ''[[Anime/CaptainHarlock Arcadia of my Youth - Endless Orbit SSX]]'' are Creator/KeiTomiyama (Tochiro Oyama) and Creator/HiromiTsuru (Revi), both of them have also passed away. Whether they will be recasted or not appearing in battles are also up in the air. Tochiro has been confirmed to appear in the second PV, with Creator/KoichiYamadera taking Tomiyama's place.
