Front Mission Game Evolution [1995-2022] 

Which one is your favorite?

FM3 is one of the highest standards when it come to charm and presentation on a videogame ive ever seen, everything has so much life and style for even minimal stuff like the transitions showing a little map or how you can use an old computer and "navigate" the internet and it LOOKS like an actual old windows system I also loved how the cutscenes had this almost toy vibe with a til-shift perspective; everything looks so small and big at the same time and is cool when the actual characters appears and you realize how big the wanzers and the world actually is comparison, wich is something the next games kinda lost after they got better graphics, imo the series lost tons of charm after they stopped doing 2D sprites/3D world but the fortunally the gameplay just kept getting better,

I don't know why mech games are so unpopular. With all the technology we have now, we can have such an immersive one.

Ah the Front Mission games from Tactical to Armored Core. FM3 will forever be my favorite plus Alisa best girl. I'm glad we will have one for switch.

Front Mission 3 was the best for me! Awesome game and 2 storylines to play was amazing. Emma Storyline was my favorite route to play the game

one of my favorite game front mission 3 along with armored core series

Front Mission 3 is the best.

I love tons of games but, *_IF_* I had to pick *_ONE_* game as my all-time favorite? It would be _'FRONT MISSION 3',_ hands down. I bought this game around 2000 when it came out and since then, I haven't really stopped playing it. I may move onto other games but eventually, I always come back to _'FM3'_ (I've played and love _'FM 1st'_ and _'FM 4'_ as well). I personally love the graphics but, I know some might be put off by the highly pixelized graphics. They remind me of _'METAL GEAR SOLID'_ graphics on the PSOne. I have racked up about 2000+ hrs. in the game cause I've been using the same game save data since the early 2000's. I've unlocked every Battle Skill for every single character in both storylines. I bought this game blindly. Never heard of the series before and it was a massive and pleasant surprise. I love how long the game was. Great characters, great storylines, great graphics, great gameplay, great sound/music. Challenging and fun all the way. Too bad Squaresoft never knew how to properly manage the _'Front Mission'_ series cause they were always too busy focusing on Final Fantasy (which I also love). I thought it was extremely disrespectful of Square Enix to basically kill the series and then try to bring it back as _'Left Alive'_ without even crediting the _'Front Mission'_ series at all. I also hated how they changed the gameplay from strategy RPG to generic first person shooter in 'Evolved'. I bought my Switch just a few months ago just to play _'FM 1st Remake'_ and I'm loving it! Forever Entertainment has done a great job bringing this classic back to life and looking better than ever! Good on FE, bringing _'FM 1st'_ to PS, PC and Xbox now. Can't wait for the _'FM 2 & 3'_ remakes as well! Sadly, 'Borderscape' is no longer to be released under the _'FRONT MISSION'_ brand. It now has a different name. Shame cause it was looking really good. Hopefully, Forever Ent. will remake all the previous turn based SRPG _'FM'_ titles and _'Gun Hazard'_ in the future. It would be great to replay all those classics with upgraded graphics, sounds, gameplay mechanics etc. Really cool video here! Nod in your direction...

RU-vid read my mind. I was thinking about fun games I wanted to play and stumbled upon my old FM3. Now this appeared on my recommendation. I love FM3. I'm a sucker for turn based strategies, and FM3 ticks all the boxes for me. The story is amazing. The route changes based on the player's actions so it's 100% replayable if you want to see the other story route. I guess FM5 cranked all of them up to 100 but that old school vibes is what I'm here for. Gameplay wise you can build stuff based on the wanzer and the pilot speciality, so it's a bit like role-playing. You can build a wanzer using double knuckles with the eject punch skill and knocking out enemy pilots off their wanzers, build a sniper role where you can destroy wanzer limbs in one hit, or just a simple artillery build using missiles and grenade launchers destroying enemies from afar. It's very addicting.

Kazuki takemura, Ryogo and those imaginary number is a keeper.. Never get bored with 2 path to complete the game. Emma is best girl.

I grew up playing the first “Front Mission” tactical game, with its customization & sprite work absolutely blew my mind. I want a new “Armored Core” or “Front Mission” so badly.

FME was the first few games i had on the ps3 and was surprised to see the mixed reviews on steam but despite the wonky controls, the game was really fun

I love this series! FM3 is my favorite game of the genre, maybe second favorite after FFTactics, and I absolutely loved FM4 as well! Heck, I even defended Evolved (that is, in regards to things like worldbuilding and such) -- So wish I could've played FM5, and SO hope that the FM1&2 remakes get ports to PC and/or PS4! If they did, I'd buy them pretty much Day 1!

thanks for the video

I believe fm games were best in 3 and 4.. the 2010 type games looked like armored core games..

played 3、4、5. Happy to see new FM series 🎉

FM3. Played it over and over. Always loved the part where you fight the Imaginary Numbers. Going toe-to-toe with Wanzers with equipped skills. Played a game where I force-ejected all Imaginary Numbers in that tunnel mission to get all the Qibing 0 Wanzers. lmao

When Front Mission 4 gets a Remaster or Remake and comes to PC i'll be happy.

4 is my favorite considering it's also my first one and I was very disappointed we never got 5 in NA. I never could find a good emulated version.

Great video, cool saga. I hope watch game evolution of Armored Core and Mech Warrior :D

Can't wait I'm buying this

Reminds me of the good old days when I just need to study and play, I found the game by accident and grew to love it and still play it until 2016 then stop cause I had to go to college! My old console is so old I doubt I can still use them

Front mission tactics was one of my favorite games. Back in the days.

Any update on the release date for FM 1st?

front mission 3 is the best of all version.. i'm still waiting for its remake

My faves were FM3 & FM5, haven't try FM4 yet

now waiting for front mission 2 on switch,hopefully 3-5 remake soon as well

the game FM 4 was a gem and where the series peaked to me you could absolutely setup to destroy and enemy team w ambush or team attacks and the secret missions and parts were awesome evolve wasnt bad felt like armored core a bit and could of been a decent shake up had the series stayed w the format left alive was awful story hurt my brain game felt jank and barren it looked ok but that was it they really need to lean into the armored core or mech warrior feel like evolve or the action parts of left alive had

Front Mission Remake is now on Xbox Series S/X. Not a Switch exclusive anymore. I would assume the future remakes in the series will also end up on Xbox and other platforms as well.

I like FM Evolve but miss old Tactical FM, we need online tactical front missin that can crossplay all platform

With AC series make a comeback and being accepted by the new gaming community, I hope FM series(tactical rpg one)could make a comeback like AC...

Front Missionは5thで終わってしまった……。 Evolved以降はSQUARE ENIXではなく、海外の会社が制作している。 RemakeもSQUARE ENIXでは作っていないし、品質は非常に悪かった。 これは、非常に悲しい事だ。

FM3 Forever Ever!

Front mission é ótimo

borderscape letsgoooo

Which TTS software you have used?

3 was the best

I like Front Mission Evolved on Xbox 360.

❤❤❤

Literally my favorite mecha game. This was ruined on the very last game entry...there is an indie game on steam that hasn't been updated since June. It is a very promising indie.

Left alive was the downfall of a legendary tbs gameplay mechs title series. As Front Mission it is actually the tactical ver. of the Armored Core saga one imho.

Bleeeed

Grown Folks Final Fantasy 🙌

fm3 , pouring hour and to make my shotgun skill until S , a load of reload and ton punching wanzer to kill the pilot , and still enjoy fm4,5 and evolved

I play front mission 5 and evolution

We need a new FM3 style game with a decent production budget for current gen consoles. Damn you, Square! Stop messing around and for the love of god leave the damn mobile platform alone!

I didnt know Left Alive have a mech combat

More like DEVOLUTION (after Front Mission 4, that is).

You cannot.. keep me from my MECHAS!! Front Mission on the switch only?? Argh, dont make me be a switch owner...

Can we please have Front Mission 3 Remake or sequel?

damn i'm an absolut fan of Armored core and i didn't know about this serie !! thanks !

Front mission 5

Left alive was definitely not praised for its story

Another series transformed into soulless mobile games

Wait they have a new front mission game.

They made FATAL, UNRECOVERABLE DAMAGE to the franchise by making the last game as an action game.

Borderscapeはフロントミッション発祥の地である日本でリリースしないってのが気に食わん

gameplay kinda looks like fire emblem and xcom.

Gun hazard looks very similar to assault suit valken 🤔

You know, what I'm really surprised about is how many Front Mission games there are...!? (Also left alive sucked) I wanted to like it.. maybe I'll give it another shot.. ? God I wish SquareEnix had been like.. just let Kojimas team build "Left alive", I bet they'd nailed it like gold. Honestly just let Kojima & team, or try to talk them into it... design ALL the rest of the remakes... I literally bet they'd all be hits! Well, with in reason anyways.. be doing better than SquareEnix has done so far anyways..

This game had other releases! I'm gonna kill myself for not searching them!

Honestly, I didn't know Front Mission 5 existed. I do hope Forever Entertainment does localize it. 4 was my all time favorite in the series. Evolved was meh. Gameplay was alright until you had to play the human characters. It was awful and filler that it looked like a Mass Effect rip off. And the story and characters were garbage. Left Alive nearly killed the series with its terrible gameplay, boring plot, and number of game breaking bugs.

シミュレーションになったり、アクションになったり、忙しいゲームだなぁ。

Front Mission4 was best because it was turn based. The armored core version sucks 😞

Фронт миссион 3 лучшее что было в этой серии

Is a shame the last is a mobile... those are usually terrible

I've played all of them, but it's degenerated after 5. Especially Evolve was terrible.

What the poop is a whenzer?

and they ruined the series when they made a turn based strat game into an armored core clone

left alive is not even a front mission game. it was very bad.
