Super Robot Wars T is, by dint of serendipity, the closest the franchise has come to having (nearly) every property involved being licensed for sale in North America prior to release since Super Robot Wars W back in 2007. In fact, some of these were on the nose: Armored Trooper VOTOMS was picked up for licensing by HIDIVE roughly four months prior to the announcement of Terra, while Discotek Media brought over the specific version of Captain Harlock for this game in May 2017. The only properties not licensed for distribution by the time of release were The Brave Express Might Gaine and Invincible Robo Tryder G7 ("Trider G7", however, did get a release in Italy during the 1980s). Super Robot Wars 30 had more previously-unlicensed works in it (since GaoGaiGar FINAL and King of Kings: GaoGaiGar vs. Betterman remained unlicensed at the time of the release of 30, as was Brave Police J-Decker).
The standard version of the game does not contain any music from Expelled from Paradise, with Angela Balzac's Leitmotif defaulting to a game-original tune titled "DIGITAL DEADLINE". This marks one of the very few instances in which Super Robot Wars creates a song to serve as the battle theme of a licensed series. Oddly, "Eonian", the actual theme of Expelled From Paradise, appears exclusively in the Premium Sound version of the game.
T is the video game debut for the characters from the second season of Magic Knight Rayearth; up until this title, all video games involving Rayearth only covered the first season.
Super Robot Wars T marks the final vocal performance for Makio Inoue, who returned to portray Captain Harlock, in any medium. Once voice-over production was finished, Inoue permanently retired until his death on November 29, 2019.
An inevitability with Nobuyuki Hiyama as he voices the protagonists of Might Gaine and The King of Braves GaoGaiGar. The two not only have Support Attack/Defend quotes for each other, but also a shared "Save/Quit" skit.
In the Expansion Pack, due to voicing originals in Super Robot Wars V, Umeka Shoji gets to do this trope as a heroine (Sagiri) and as a villain (Jamie).
Despite receiving a fairly lavish English localization (including a limited theatrical release across the United States by Aniplex USA), Expelled from Paradise flew under the radar for many people outside of Japan in 2014. Its announcement for T has stirred renewed interest in it.
Downplayed with Cowboy Bebop, Magic Knight Rayearth and Arcadia of my Youth: none of them were unpopular (though Arcadia, in particular, was perhaps rather obscure by the time of announcement, especially to recent generations of Anglophone anime fans), but after their respective runs and some old Spin-Off video games, they didn't get any new, substantial media entries in the 2000s and early 2010s, staying as Cult Classics, but their announcement in T re-started interestnote In the case of Cowboy Bebop, it gets further bumped thanks to Netflix announcing a live-action adaptation shortly after its inclusion for this game was revealed.
Among the main supporting cast of Arcadia of my Youth - Endless Orbit SSX are Kei Tomiyama (Tochiro Oyama) and Hiromi Tsuru (Revi), both of whom had passed away by the time voice recordings began. While Tochiro does appear, with Kōichi Yamadera taking Tomiyama's place, Revi does not have any voiced lines, only appearing in cut-scenes.
Unshō Ishizuka passed away months before the game's announcement. However, he managed to record the lines necessary for Jet Black in one of Spike's Bebop Formation attacks before passing away.
Umemaro Kakikouji is voiced by the pre-recorded voice of Ichirō Nagai, who passed away in 2014.
Pre-Order Bonus: Like Super Robot Wars V and Super Robot Wars X, pre-ordering T allowed players to unlock the Gespenst and the Deuteragonist as a pilot earlier in a play-through. For those who bought the Nintendo Switch Southeast Asia version, said content is now a day one game update patch, allowing Switch users to enjoy it too (to be fair, Bandai Namco Entertainment made this workaround due to a lack of a Nintendo eShop for the Southeast Asia region).
Promoted Fanboy: Making her third appearance, Christina Rose, who previously worked on the Fan Translation for Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden and the English versions of V and X, returns as the lead translator for this game's localization.
Swan Song: By all means, Makio Inoue has considerably aged and wouldn't be quite active in voice acting anymore. But, considering his own contributions and the prestige of the Super Robot Wars series, he agreed to reprise Captain Harlock despite his age, showing a goddamn good job, and finally retired for good, his death following soon after. It was a 'now or never' situation, if he didn't accept the job, then he'd never be able to lend his voice for Captain Harlock in a series he's been quite heavily involved with.
What Could Have Been: According to Super Robot Wars series producer Takenobu Terada, the original 1978 Space Pirate Captain Harlock was considered, but T producer Shouhei Mogami wanted Arcadia of my Youth. The team eventually settled on the latter as the titular Arcadia battleship is more recognizable by fans due to its green color, including The Cameo in Galaxy Express 999.
