TTGL is peak (mecha) fiction so thats a great one to have watched. Very much in the “super robot” camp that this series is named after, as opposed to “real robots” like Gundam, where the mecha are more akin to military machines than giant superheroes and get treated as such. SRW does a good job of mixing the vibes and themes of the two.

Ah right so THAT’S why X was on my to-play list. I keep forgetting what’s on which game.

If you have any interest in giant robot media, or tokusatsu stuff, or enjoy tactical RPGs with tons and tons of characters, it’s the game for you. I’m really enjoying SRW V, but I’m not sure it’s the best place to start with, given how many of it’s mecha crossovers start at their “late stage” and kinda assume you’re familiar with the source material. I’m pretty familiar with the Gundams but some of the other shows I was a bit lost about, such as Nadesico and Fullmetal Panic. Then again, V is one of the most popular recent games. Every game in the franchise is independent from one another, though, and they all explain all the basics you need to understand the plot. Just pick the one with the robots/shows you think are the coolest.

Super Robot Wars V. Just hit the first hard split on the story where I could stay with the super edgy Cross Ange plot, alongside Gundam 00 and Fullmetal Panic Or, go along with the Nadesico and the super silly Mightgaine, alongside several UC timeline Gundams. I chose the latter.

Floorp is made by young Japanese devs. They have uh, very different naming sensibilities…
