Trivia / Super Robot Wars 4

• Dummied Out: 4 contains unit listings for the Nightingale and Xi Gundam, alongside a number of unused units from Dunbine, Zeta Gundam, and L-Gaim.
• Non-Singing Voice: Ring Mao's Image Song "Yuuki no Jidai" is sung by a duo called "Saichi & Nao".
• What Could Have Been:
  • Super Robot Wars F began as an enhanced port of Super Robot Wars 4S that was requested by Sega, who held the Neon Genesis Evangelion video game license at the time. The devs found that they couldn't do Evangelion justice without heavily re-imagining the entire game, so it became a loose remake instead. This shift in priorities also killed potential sequels to Shin Super Robot Wars and Super Robot Wars Gaiden.
  • According to series producer Takenobu Terada, F Final was supposed to be the Grand Finale of the franchise (hence the name) as the developers at Banpresto had put everything they had into the game as a worthy send-off. Instead, because F Final wound up doing so well^note Considering when the Saturn and Playstation versions were added up together, F and F Final sold roughly 700,000 copies each, they decided to continue onto the Super Robot Wars Alpha saga, and the rest is history.
  • Hideaki Anno, who had already provided several ideas regarding the use of Neon Genesis Evangelion in F, originally wanted Quattro Bajeena to pilot a variation of EVA Unit-02, but this was excluded because of copyright issues.
