Line 35:
*** Granted, {{spoiler|Neue Regisseur hadn't created any universes at the time. Wahrschein Lichkeit was being quite literal}}.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: A lot of details regarding the story are in the second ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]'' and gaiden games. If you've played those game, you'll know more about the story than the ''characters'' do. Similarly, most of the information regarding Reiji's pursuit of Saya and [[Xenosaga (Video Game)|T-elos]]' hate for KOS-MOS is glossed over. You'll have to play ''[[Namco X Capcom (Video Game)|Namco X Capcom]]'' and ''[[Xenosaga (Video Game)|Xenosaga Episode III]]'' to learn the details.
* [[A Mech By Any Other Name]]: Residents of Kagura Amahara call all robots ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Karakuri_ningyo:Karakuri ningyo|karakuri]]''. Suzuka controls her Jyaki-GUN-Oh like a marionette through strings attached to her [[Paper Fan of Doom|fans]].
** Come Exceed and the Shura refer to their mecha as Rasetsu-Ki
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Ezel Granada uses one, and proves very effective with it.
Line 69:
* [[Combos]]: A key part of combat, which involves juggling (we don't mean ''[[Gainaxing|that]]'' kind...yet) and preventing [[Mook|mooks]] and [[Boss Fight|bosses]] from scoring an evasion.
* [[Colon Cancer]]: Just to be precise, the sequel ''Exceed'' has '''four''' different qualifiers. Super Robot Wars; Original Generations Saga; Endless Frontier; and EXCEED.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: In conjunction with [[I Knew It!]], the [[Bad Export for You|Japanese-only]] [[Audio Adaptation|drama tracks of the freebie CD]] bundled with the first game confirms Aschen's {{spoiler|part of [[Super Robot Wars Advance|Lemon Browning's]] W-Numbers series of [[Artificial Human|androids]]. W-00, the first in the series, was mentioned in the [[Video Game Remake]] of ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]'', and is identified here as Haken}}.
** [[Did Not Do the Research]]: However, [[Atlus]] missed one important part, thus {{spoiler|mistranslated the name "Lemon Browning" as "Raymond Browning"}}.
*** This flub has become a bit of a [[Fan Wank]] among those who refuse to ignore the translation that, in "the American continuity", {{spoiler|Lemon's (or rather, an [[Alternate Universe]] [[Super Robot Wars Compact 2|Excellen Browning's]]) father began the W-Series project before Excellen died, and she switched the focus to androids after taking over [[Cloning Blues|in order to understand herself]]}}.
Line 138:
** Technically, they're really party poppers and confetti.
* [[Hand Cannon]] (Haken's Longtomb Special)
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] (You'll be hearing a lot from [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]], [[Yukana]], [[Kaori Shimizu]], [[Mamiko Noto]], [[Kazuhiko Inoue]], [[Omi Minami]], [[Ryotaro Okiayu]], [[Tetsu Inada]], [[Sayaka Ohara]] and [[Ai Orikasa]])
** EXCEED brings us [[Tomokazu Seki]] and [[Nana Mizuki]] as the new characters. Basically, [[G Gundam|Domon Kasshu]] and [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Fate Testarossa]] are teaming up
*** [[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Colette Brunel]] and [[Tales of Destiny (Video Game)|Stahn Aileron]] team up, go! ''Sono mina no moto, kono kegareta tamashii- '' '''SATSUGEKI-''' ''-ni sabaki no hikari o furasetamae!'' '''BUKOUKEN!!!''' ''JUDGMENT!!'' '''ORENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENENE!!!! ORRDYAA!!!''' .... ''Huh?''
Line 150:
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]] (How does Dorothy ''fit'' all those bombs under that dress of hers?)
* [[I'll Never Tell You What I'm Telling You]] (Kyon's prone to doing this)
* [[Improbably -Female Cast]] (The team consists of 2 guys and 5 girls; no antagonist group is all-male oriented)
** EXCEED bucks the trend by adding more male characters to the main group (Aledy, Katze, Ezel, Axel and {{spoiler|Fighter Roar}}). Still, by the end of the game, the girls outnumber the guys in the main group (if we can even count [[Camp Gay|Katze]] as a guy, anyhow).
* [[Inconsistent Dub]] (The aforementioned "Raymond" mistranslation. Also partially justified with Kaguya's Goshiki Zankantou, which would have been translated as "Type-5 Colossal Blade" if they hadn't chosen to leave everything from her dimension in its original Japanese)
Line 162:
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|EVERY Agrado Heim member}}
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]
* [[Laser Blade]] (KOS-MOS' DRAGON TOOTH and Henne Valkyria's Roche Saber, the latter being a [[Shout -Out]] to the same named weapon for Personal Troopers in the main series)
* [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall]] (Haken's second introduction in EXCEED:)
{{quote| '''Haken''': "My name's Haken Browning. They call me..."<br />
Line 201:
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] (The whole cast counts as this)
* [[Random Encounters]]
* [[Rapid -Fire Fisticuffs]] (Nearly any character, mook or villain who doesn't wield a weapon)
** '''Aledy'''. Also the Ark-Won, ArkGain and Aschen. Seems to be a pattern with characters whose names start with "A".
* [[Rapunzel Hair]] (Kaguya's got the [[Tangled (Disney)|second]] longest ponytail ever seen)
Line 213:
** Know what's the kicker? Kaguya's actually ''flattered'' by the proposal.
* [[Servile Snarker]] (Aschen would count towards Haken. It helps she's been with him for the past 23 years; even one of her character portraits in game has her bowing servilely)
* [[Shout -Out]] (Tons: ''[[Gao Gai Gar]]'', ''[[Hell Girl]]'', ''[[Machine Robo]]'', ''Dangaioh'', ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'', ''[[The Wizard of Oz (Film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'', ''[[Peter Pan]]'', "[[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (Literature)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]", ''[[Tomb Raider]]'', ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]''...)
** Coupled with [[Mythology Gag]], there's just far too many to list, but this [http://www21.atwiki.jp/mugefuroexceed/pages/52.html Japanese wiki lists all known shout outs in EXCEED].
** And at one point, Aschen calls Kaguya and Suzuka "[[Cow and Chicken (Animation)|Cow and Chicken]]".
Line 249:
** It's more of a cross between [[Human Sacrifice]] and [[Powered By a Forsaken Child]], otherwise {{spoiler|Kaguya's mother Ui wouldn't have been able to pull off the same thing her daughter was prevented from doing}}
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Haken's Longtomb Special, although played more straight in EXCEED, when Haken can use it to hit multiple enemies as part of the Phantom Hold'em Frontier MAX.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: This game's utterly laced with [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|ninjas, pirates, robots]], [[Anime]]/cultural [[Shout -Out|Shout Outs]], [[Gag Boobs]], flat chested girls, familiar [[Expy|expies]], over-the-top [[Gainaxing]], loads of [[Fetish Fuel]]-inducing moments ([[Naughty Tentacles|"Maybe it's a giant tentacle, molesting the planet itself?"]]), [[Crowning Music of Awesome|DISCO music]] and massive amounts of [[Innocent Innuendo|Innocent Innuendos]] and [[Double Entendre|Double Entendres]] in ''[[Up to Eleven|every]]'' conversation. Name one other game that contains as much as ''[[Endless Frontier]]'' does, ''without'' straying away from the seemingly incredible gameplay.
* [[Whip Sword]]: Kaguya's sword can extend like one.
* [[World of Badass]]: The [[The Goomba|very first mook]] you meet attacks with a [[Macross Missile Massacre]]. The shopkeepers moonlight as [[Hired Guns]]. Old crashed battleships that constantly spew forth monsters from other worlds are basically treated as ''tourist traps.''
