Exception were spin offs like Alternative and this Mobile game). I understand that it was made long after the series had already been concluded (I read somewhere that the main entries 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were actually already planned in advance story wise. There was a Front Mission game that was only released on mobile phones in Japan, though later a DS Game was made that contained most of the material. I just never unwrapped it, feeling that I should only do that when I will finally play it.

A diluted script, and no embellishment or modernising of the original whatsoever left me feeling. Calling Front Mission 1st Remake a remake is stretching the term, when this is more of a like-for-like remaster of the original game, with new graphics and sparse quality-of-life updates. I don't necessarily need to wait for this release as I also own the DS game which someone gifted me for my birthday. Fingers crossed it will be something completely different.

The most likely scenario is that Nintendo has 6 months exclusivity deal for each release. Its very possible that the delay of FM2 remake is due to them wanting simultaneous releases. Is this game somewhat friendly for newcomers who want to see if this is something they may like? Yes, Nintendo have an exclusivity deal I think.although I read this is why they could remake them to begin with. One of the reasons being that most of the entries were never released in the West, though fan patches have corrected that over time.īut also because I have always found SRPGs somewhat intimidating compared to regular RPGs made in the West and JRPGs. I have even played Fron Mission Gun Hazard as it was made by some of the same people who made Assault Suit Valken, I have never touched the main series. While I know about the Front Mission series for quite some time now.
