Super Robot Wars T announced for PS4/Switch (2019) English version confirmed
- Thread starter Saphirax
- Start date
I'm really excited for the game and the cast, but something about that box art looks really dull
Aha, the mainline box arts typically suck, but this one is especially bad, yeah. Moon Dwellers and SD Gundam G Generation Genesis are the only ones this gen that have been pretty cool:
Speaking of which, I'm pretty hyped for the next one of those too. The 3D models they transitioned to with the last game were surprisingly ace.
I've seen this posted on Twitter, but not here yet.

It's an interview with Terada on some aspects of the game.
Edit: it's actually a translation of a podcast that Terada does but still interesting information

Thank you for posting! This box art gets me hype. Physical version it is :)
Haven't seen it myself, but I know its a Gen Urobuchi joint. So it depends on weather you like his style or not.
I'm not too excited for Bepop, since I have no idea what units or battles they could even use, but I hope they heavily mine it for stages and battle backgrounds. The different cities on other planets always looked amazing in that show.
They're plenty of units in this game that can hold their own on the ground, hell Domon can punt fucking skyscrapers.
I loved Expelled from Paradise. Can't wait to kick ass with Angela and her mech.
Though unlike other motherships the Bebop isn't a battleship so I wonder how they'll work in the actual Bebop?
Plus if Jet's in his ship I wonder who's piloting the Bebop. Maybe that's how they work in Ed having a mech since she's remote controlled the Bebop before? lol
I assume Spike, Jet, and Faye will have their ships. Yeah, they could pull some great locations from the show.

Yeah, gonna love having Gun X Sword.
Yup, can't wait.

I don't think it's really very similar to any of those shows. It doesn't have the element of tragedy/despair that characterizes most of Urobuchi's stuff.
I liked the movie fine. I don't think it's a much-watch or anything, but it does what it sets out to do well. It's a pretty low-stakes story compared to other series. Probably an early-midgame thing with the grunts showing up to support other enemies throughout the rest of the game.
This is a cool article. I'm going to assume the "Rayearth manga didn't have robots" bit was a mistranslation and Terada actually knows what he's talking about though.
It's kind of surprising how little people seem to know about Rayearth. It has robots! You see them in the anime's first opening theme and on the second page of the manga! The series is named after the main character's robot!
If it's playable, I assume it'll be the token repair/resupply mothership, probably with some hacking-related ability from Ed and maybe a couple of very basic ramming or power arm related attacks.
It might not be playable at all though, since Jet's VA passed away recently.
I'm curious what they'll do about Jet since Unsho Ishuzika passed away over the summer. Use existing voice work or recast like they did with Bright Noa when Hirotaka Suzuoki passed away? Is there someone who has taken on some of his existing roles?
Yeah, it's more on the hope side than his usual darker side so somewhat more like his collaboration for Gargantia.
Yeah, that makes sense for a role.
Damn :(
I'm much more familiar with Jet's dub VA, but I liked his Jet a lot too.
Yeah I think that was written by the guy who translated, not Terada himself.
Concerning the confusion around the presence of the mechs themselves, I can see why someone who isn't familiar with the source material can make that mistake. There are basically 3 different stories (Manga, Anime, OVA) that feature the same characters. The manga and anime have the same robot designs, but with vastly different "screen time", with the mechs not appearing as much in the manga. Then there is the OVA designs, which were a complete departure from the original and basically turns them into mecha-beasts (Rayearth's name is also changed to Lexus).
So depending on which version you ran into, you could get vastly different conclusions on the precense of mechs or even what those mechs are.
Release date
We went from nothing to Moon Dweller's word salads to simultaneous releases in the span of like 3 years. Between this and the Yakuza boom in the West, I feel spoiled.
I may be the odd one out here, but I actually sometimes prefer listening to their midi renditions to songs rather than the originals themselves.
Also, yay simultaneous release! Now I wont be able get spoiled on secrets like a month before the game comes out.
It is incredibly easy. I recommend setting up a Japanese Nintendo ID and making a separate Switch user profile for it. Then you can just access the JPN shop instantly through that profile and then play whatever games you download with whatever profile you want.
No joke. Sadly I feel like the golden age is over, though, these games feel cheaper than the OG2 era somehow.
The lack of super flashy CG intros makes them feel a lot cheaper. Those were always so much fun to watch when booting up the game.
Well it wouldn't be a japanese id it would be....malasian? shit i need to research which asian territories get the english version.
Singapore, Taiwan, Philippenes for sure. At least with the previous PS4 versions.
The attacks, too. They don't feel as kinetic, I need my Sanger Destroys An Entire Galaxy To Hurt A Robot animations.
That would be great but I don't have much hope it's going to roll like that :(
God, I remember the first one of these games I ever encountered I had a local game store here in North Wales that would occasionally get imports and Mecha has always been my favourite anime genre, so I saw this copy of "Super robot Taison MX" played a bit in store and bought it and a Japanese PS2 that day!
Ever since I have bought and muddled my way through every single release and tried to track down some of the PS1 and SNES games but my god they can get expensive, now these games are coming out in English with a decent translation? I could cry I am so happy, I mean I still truly suck at them and I don't play them well at all, but fuck do I love these games.

With release on two worldwide successful platforms now (and with Switch they finally have now a successful platform in Japan too) they probably expect better sales.
Stupid questions perhaps but is this game similar in gameplay to the Project X Zone-games on 3DS (which I have played and this 'looks' like it)?
Also are the Super Robot Wars hard?

The battle systems are grid based, but it's not got the "Active Moments" which Project X Zone has.
As to difficulty? I don't really know, I've been stumbling my way through them since the PS2 so I kinda know what I'm doing, they can be daunting and complex, but I don't think difficult is what I'd call them
The difficulty really depends on the different entries. Super robot wars original generations 2 for GBA is quite difficult, the recent Super Robot Wars V is kinda easy though. Haven't played X but it seems so similar to V I wouldn't be surprised if it was kinda easy too.
IIRC, when I went looking for the English version of one of the earlier ones on the Taiwan PSN, they only had the Japanese & the Mandarin versions.
EDIT: Just checked. Taiwan PSN just has Chinese & Chinese/Korean versions.

This is an immediate buy for me. V was the most exciting thing, having played old entries in Japanese and with it being the first official non original generation entry in English... but I never finished it. I reached the part with that one anime with the slave women being forced to fight? Or something like that? And it was this weird "this is horrifying, but we also made it to tickle people's fetishes" thing that reminded me that modern anime is not for me, and made me uncomfortable. I know that's a weird reason not to play, but it is what it is.
Looks like, from the series list, this may be more of a return to form? Really looking forward to this!
