*** Ed beginning a correspondence with [[Anime/ExpelledFromParadise Frontier Setter]] on Freedom Route's Scenario 17's Side Plan epilogue is a reference to "[[Recap/CowboyBebopSession9JammingWithEdward Jamming with Edward]]," with their friendship mirroring that of when she contacted MPU/Emphu, a similar {{Ridiculously Human|Robot}} [=AI=] that the government wants to get rid of because of its hacking into their facilities.

''T'' brings the ''Getter Robo'' franchise back after its absence from ''X'', as well as ''G Gundam'' post-''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOE'' (its last console appearance was ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsNEO''), including the first appearance of ''Gun X Sword'' on a console since ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsK''. While ''K'' had only two entries from before The2000s, ''T'' has two made [[Anime/GunXSword during]] and [[Anime/ExpelledFromParadise after]] it (barring entries that are {{Sequel}}s to works from earlier periods). ''T'' marks the first franchise installment to feature two entries of the ''Anime/BraveSeries'' in one game, a MagicalGirl[=/=]{{Shojo}} series for a traditional ''Super Robot Wars''[[note]]The first MagicalGirl[=/=]CuteWitch to appear in the franchise is ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia'' in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsXOmega''[[/note]], and a technical debut of a series that used to debut in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsXOmega''[[note]]''Anime/MazingerZInfinity'' was not grouped as 'new series' during the reveal trailer since it was a One-Time Event Unit in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsXOmega'', but the game is actually its debut in traditional ''Super Robot Wars'' games. The next series given this treatment is

An ExpansionPack for it was released on June 27, 2019, detailing a few months after the Daybreak War, and finally bringing Earth back into its Golden Age, a new threat dubbed [[LegionOfDoom the Atrium]] looms over the horizon, and [[spoiler: features a [[CrisisCrossover team-up with the protagonists]] of ''V'' and ''X'' to deal with the new threat.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: In this continuity, [[spoiler:[[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth Lady Debonair]] works on a global scale rather than contained within Cephiro only, and also responsible for the creation of the [[Anime/{{Gunbuster}} Space Terrible Monster Creatures]] as her extension on normal Earth, and they became one of the catalyst of stagnation of mankind and the start of Twilight Age. In addition, anything she ever breathed on will become wicked, including the [[Manga/GetterRobo Invaders coming out of Getter Rays]], [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Zonders coming to Earth]] and why [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam the Ultimate Gundam malfunctioned and turned into Devil Gundam in the first place.]] She's also responsible for the creation of Atrium, resurrecting herself after being slain in the main game and then summoning the soul of Ende, who in turn summoned the soul of System Nevanlinna, all of which decided to work together to get revenge on their respective casts.]]

** Zagato's invasion to Earth and succeeding in at least bringing Emeraude's castle into Antarctica may also give similar vibes to ''Anime/RayearthOVA'', where Cephiro was merged into Earth and is seen as an invasion force, [[spoiler:both of them also under the reasoning that their world was crumbling and they're looking for another world to settle. Although Zagato wasn't the perpretrator in the OVA, it was instead done by Eagle who was given an AdaptationalVillainy there.]] Another element harkening back to the OVA can be seen in the Expansion Pack, whereas Clef whisked away everyone from Cephiro into a pocket dimension so they're safe from Debonair who this time was backed up with Atrium; he did the same to the people of Earth in the OVA.

* CombatPragmatist: A given with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Amuro Ray]], but one of the new attacks for the Hi-Nu Gundam showcases this with Amuro firing missed shots with the [[AttackDrones Fin Funnels]] and Hyper Bazooka at the enemy while leaving a loaded Bazooka cartridge on the field as he moves. As the target is lead towards the discarded cartridge, the Hi-Nu fires at the latter and detonates it next to the enemy.

** While [[Anime/MazingerZInfinity the movie]] made subtle hints of throwing ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'' into CanonDiscontinuity, the game acknowledges its existence within the Mazinger history without any name-dropping.

** In the Expansion pack, when presented with the AlternateUniverse possibilities, Benkei remarks that maybe in one certain universe, the Ryouma there is a nice and friendly sports player, which was what happened in the LighterAndSofter ''Manga/GetterRobo'' 70's anime that has constantly appeared in the ''Super Robot Wars'' franchise up until the first ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ''

The Earth is in peril. Having fallen into a "Twilight Age," humanity has fallen into despair. Crime and terror is rampant, monsters from beyond the stars are invading, war threatens to break out, and the Earth itself is threatened of being sold out to an alien corporation. Only a business company named the VTX Union can stop it by bringing back hope. Along with a group of badasses piloting mechs, can this business break through the despair and bring humanity back into a "Golden Age"? [[ScrewDestiny Of course they can!]]

''Super Robot Wars T'' (pronounced, and writable, as ''Super Robot Wars Terra'') is an installment of the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' franchise succeeding ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsX'' simultaneously released for the Sony UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 and UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch on March 20, 2019. Like ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'' and ''X'', it saw an English-language localization for Southeast Asia.

* MagikarpPower: [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth The Magic Knights]], similarly with [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsX the previous game's]] protagonists, starts out underwhelming that they would struggle to kill. However, they have several event-based upgrades that would boost their performances and they will gain new attacks as well. By the end game, they will become far stronger if you have been keeping tabs on them, and also possessing one of the strongest CombinationAttack available.

* TheBusCameBack:
** Shion Zaba and Rabaan Zaramand, the respective protagonist and antagonist of ''New Story of Aura Battler Dunbine'', reappear in this franchise since ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsCompact3'', a fifteen-year gap. Despite elements of ''New Story'' being adapted in prior installments, ''Terra'' is the second time in ''Super Robot Wars'' where they explicitly appear. Part of the reason why is because [[spoiler:they are the InUniverse {{Reincarnation}}s of Show Zama and Bern Bunnings, the respective hero and villain of ''Dunbine'']], which requires creative writing to get around (especially when the developers confirm Show and Shion will meet for the first time in the series' history).
** ''G Gundam'' makes its console return since ''NEO'' and ''OE'' and in a non-3D format post-''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsMX''. Since ''NEO'' and ''OE'' treated ''G Gundam'' as {{Filler}} and only included series protagonist Domon Kasshu and the Devil Gundam (the latter didn't appear in ''OE''), ''T'' marks the first console appearance of the Shuffle Alliance members and Allenby Beardsley since ''MX''. By the time ''Terra'' is released, the gap since ''MX'' will also have been roughly fifteen years on the nose. And apparently, so did Master Asia, whose last console appearance was in ''Impact'', which was roughly seventeen years.
** ''Gun X Sword'' returns after its last appearance in ''K'', this time with the benefits of voice acting and a UsefulNotes/HighDefinition visual makeover. Similarly, ''[=GaoGaiGar=]'' returns to a console ''Super Robot Wars'' since ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Super Robot Wars Alpha 3]]'', despite having appearances on handheld installments in-between, such as ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsW'' and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsBX''
** After the first ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ'' release and ''K'', ''Mazinger'' entries in the franchise were delegated to the ''Anime/ShinMazinger'' {{Continuity}}. ''Mazinger Z: Infinity'' marks a return to the original ''Anime/MazingerZ'' series, as ''Infinity'' is a distant {{Sequel}} to the latter; even the Premium Anime Sound Version of ''T'' will include the classic ''Mazinger Z'' song and "''Ore wa Great Mazinger''" from ''Anime/GreatMazinger''.
** [[Anime/{{Gunbuster}} Jung Freud]] skipped out of the ''Z'' saga; as of the second trailer, she returns along with her Sizzler Black and joins with her ''Gunbuster'' allies.
** After his last playable appearance being in ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ Super Robot Wars Z2: Hakai-hen]]'', [[Manga/GetterRobo Musashi Tomoe]] is also back in the seat of Shin Getter Robo 3 and being playable. [[TheyKilledKennyAgain He's still going to die]] [[DyingToBeReplaced to be replaced by Benkei Kuruma]], though, and it doesn't take another game to happen.
** Despite ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ''[='=]s return starting from ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars V]]'', Haman Karn was absent in both games despite her influence. With ''ZZ''[='=]s second half getting a big focus in this game, naturally Haman makes her grand return.

* LostInTranslation: A lot of the Magic Knight's interactions with the Dunbine cast and talking about their titles makes more sense when you consider how "Aura Battler" was originally "Holy Knight." So Magic and Holy Knights.
