History VideoGame / SuperRobotWarsUX

** The four strongest warlords from ''[[Toys/BBSenshiSangokuden SD Gundam Sangokuden]]'' all have their CatchPhrase in their Spirit Command list, to the point the game had to create the new Justice and Ideals spirits just to make it work. In fact, to complete his portrayal as more insecure than the others, Sun Quan can't even unlock his Courage command no matter his level until he gets some good CharacterDevelopment.

** "Life" is the central theme of the entire game, with multiple important plot points relating to how death is a necessary part of life and multiple {{MacGuffin}}s and AppliedPhlebotinum all relating to life.

* ArcWords: "Gather at the beginning." Many of the cast heard it before they were warped to the UX world. Its meaning would become clear by the endgame. It refers to those who can hop across space and time.

** It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler:[[Toys/BBSenshiSangokuden Mirisha]] is an iteration of Earth where the [[Manga/LinebarrelsOfIron Humanoid Machina]] successfully evolved into humans. [[Anime/{{NinjaSenshiTobikage}} Planet Ladorio]] is also a iteration of Earth, and the actions of the ninja warriors in the present day turns out to be the source of Ladorio's ancient ninja legend.]]

** [[Anime/NinjaWarriorTobikage Hazard Pasha]] goes past the point of no return when he [[spoiler:turned the [[Anime/MazinkaiserSKL Kiba and Garan grunts]] into unwilling suicide bombers in an attempt to kill both the heroes and the Festum. This act did a good job of unnerving [[Anime/MazinkaiserSKL Magami]].]]

** ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsK'' had ''SEED Destiny'' and ''Fafner'', while ''L'' traded in the latter for ''Linebarrels of Iron'' and all three anime feature character designs by Hisashi Hirai. Though the characters from these works returned for UX, ''Linebarrels'' was replaced with its manga version drawn by a different artist named Tomohiro Shimoguchi and has more varied faces.

* BigGood: It's revealed in the final stage that [[spoiler: Noble Dylan was this all along. She forced UX through countless trials to ensure that they grow strong enough to defeat Kali Yuga, even at the cost of her own life. This also makes her a good guy counterpart to [[[[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Nya]].]]

* BackFromTheDead: The ''Dunbine'' story for ''UX'' begins after the KillEmAll ending of the original. However only Shou, Marvel, Burn, and Shot Weapon return to life. The rest of the cast never reappear and are presumed still dead by Shou. [[spoiler: This actually prompts a possible HeelFaceTurn from Burn, since all of his old allies (and thus his old cause) are gone anyway.]]

** It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler:[[Toys/BBSenshiSangokuden Militia]] is an iteration of Earth where the [[Manga/LinebarrelsOfIron Humanoid Machina]] successfully evolved into humans. [[Anime/{{NinjaSenshiTobikage}} Planet Ladorio]] is also a iteration of Earth, and the actions of the ninja warriors in the present day turns out to be the source of Ladorio's ancient ninja legend.]]

** [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Festum mind reading]] works on the [[Toys/BBSenshiSangokuden SD Gundam units]] despite the fact that it was only suppoed to work on humans due to their genetic similarity caused by the super-ancient Mir, [[spoiler:hinting at the fact that Militia is EarthAllAlong.]]

* FixFic: This refers mostly to the ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' movie's story. During the story [[spoiler: Mr. Bushido can be saved from dying in combat. Setsuna does not join ELS meaning he will not be separated from the people he loves for five decades.]]

* BossInMookClothing: The [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Sphinx-class]] appearing in the prologue and the one appearing in Chapter 13 both have mind reading '''level 4'''. For comparison, even Idun and Misao only have mind reading level 3, making it difficult for even [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny SEED mode Shinn]] to hit it without spirit commands. To make matters worse, you have to defeat the former with Kazuki for a secret.

* BossInMookClothing: The [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Sphinx-class]] appearing in Chapter 1 and the one appearing in Chapter 13 both have mind reading '''level 4'''. For comparison, even Idun and Misao only have mind reading level 3, making it difficult for even [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny SEED mode Shinn]] to hit it without spirit commands. To make matters worse, you have to defeat the former with Kazuki for a secret.

* TheBattleDidntCount: Though this trope is common for SRW boss fights, the [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Sphinx-class Festum]] in Chapter 1 is particularly bad. Depending on how well you do, it might take two gameplay kills and two cutscene kills just to take it out.

** Vespasianus was exterminated by Augustus like in the anime and only fought in the Visual Novel.

* BossInMookClothing: The [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Sphinx-class]] appearing in Chapter 1 and the one appearing in Chapter 13 both have mind reading '''level 4'''. For comparison, even Idun and Misao only have mind reading level 3. To make matters worse, you have to defeat the former with Kazuki for a secret.

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Nya]]'s tempering with the universe ended up pushing it to the brink of destruction, causing Kali Yuga to intervene.]]

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Noval Dilan, or so it seems. She's not really evil per se.]]

* GroundhogDayLoop: Most of the ''UX'' plot stems from being trapped in a time loop (based on the ''Demonbane'' and ''Linebarrels of Iron'' storylines). [[spoiler: When the heroes successfully end the loop, they inadvertently trigger the apocalypse, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero which was what the time loop protected them against]]]].

** In the final stage, however, [[spoiler: Noble Dylan reveals that backwards time travel is impossible due to the past being immutable. Everyone who supposedly came from the future was actually from a destroyed iteration of the universe.]]

* TimeSkip: Arc 3 is three months after Arc 2's finale that also concluded ''Wings of Rean''. Because the ''Fafner'' characters switched to their ''Heaven and Earth''[[note]]Canonically set two years after the series's finale[[/note]] portraits, some of its characters seem like they had a growth spurt.

* TheAssimilator: For the basic level 1 assimilation most Festum have If Morale is reduced to under 90 the unit is assimilated and destroyed. Festum however do not drain very effectively, the Morale you gain from taking hits and counter-killing Festum largely ameliorates the morale lost from an attack. The Mark Sein can also Assimilate but much more effectively. Kazuki deals severe morale damage when he attacks a festum and he assimilates enemy Festum if they're reduced below 120 Morale (Even if they didn't have that much to begin with).

* RedemptionPromotion: Gameplay-wise, [[spoiler:[[[[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Master Therion]]]] is a pretty disappointing boss, having no health regen, no map weapon, and no double movement. If you recruit him, however, he becomes the most broken character in the entire game.

** "Life" is the central theme of the entire game, with multiple important plot points relating to how death is a necessary part of life and multiple MacGuffins and AppliedPhlebotinum all relating to life.

** [[Anime/MazinkaiserSKL The Machine Island]] was a research center for alternative energy sources established after World War II (tying into the plots of both ''Gundam 00'' and ''The Wings of Rean''). It produces an ore called Odyssite, which is critical to the Original story and has similar properties to [[Anime/NinjaSenshiTobikage Kilhacium]], [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Fold Quartz]], the [[Toys/BBSenshiSangokuden Dragon Seal]], and Anime/TheWingsOfRean. It also had a [[[[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Mir]], part of which was used in Mark Elf's core.

** [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Festum mind reading]] works on the [[Toys/BBSenshiSangokuden SD Gundam units]] despite the fact that it only works on humans due to their genetic similarity caused by the super-ancient Mir, [[spoiler:hinting at the fact that Militia is EarthAllAlong.]]
