I'll probably pick this up as I typically really enjoy tactics games, but I'll definitely wait for a sale. This game wasn't handled with the same love and care as other recent remasters, Square outsourced these games to Forever Entertainment, a polish developer. Obviously Square saw something they didn't like and have Forever publishing these instead of themselves. With that said though I am excited to see what they do with the Front Mission 2 and 3 remasters.
Urghh I hated it how they make wanzers look like toys! The grass are same level as wanzers foot.
Fm3 remake please make everything like fm4, it feels like giant robots fighting, not toys like this
Just to help some ppl each pilot has their own "specialization" as in their good at either short(machine gun/shotgun/rifle) meele(knuckles/rods) or long range(missiles) and the pilot learns the correspondent skills for each type faster if he fights using the right weapon type…royd is an short specialist for example so learns the skills for this type faster using a machine gun/shotgun than if he tried to be meele or long range….game doesn't explain this stuff but you can find each character specialization on the old guides….
The one thing I gotta disagree with is that the switch is what's making the cutscenes chug. Like games like Dragonquest 11 and xenoblade 3 run just fine, I think this game just isnt optimized all that well
Sure hope this comes to steam ;o
The Fan Translations were done better on the fan patches as well as the DS versions
as you said it is what it is but its great that FM 1st gets fresh realese. It's ways better than the orginal i think to play it nowadays and get to the story
Im just glad that it’s like an actual tactical FM and not like left alive or that other 3rd person shooter they made on ps3 or so generation.
The combat and UI looks bad and cheap. Doesn't hold a candle to the originals.
Missed—-Missed—-Missed—Missed—Missed—Hit 14—Missed-Missed—Missed
I still play FM3 and would love to see that remade too. I hope this does well, maybe we'll see more of these 🤞
This will be an immediate buy once it’s out physically
I'll say that grinding in the battle arena is addictive in a passive don't have to pay much attention kind of way. Really takes off one you learn some skills for the characters. Lots of fun getting OP early since there is no limit on how much you can play the arena and the fact that arena combat is one on one with no tactical grid. Fun to get to new towns and grind out the equipment.
Cept fps Problems im happy with it. Also difficult is Ramped up it seem
The outer world looks higher def but oddly the combat looks lower def from the FM3, FM4, and FM5. If you have only played Front Mission 3, emulate Front Mission 4 instead of this game.
Just seen this 3 is better, n 4 is the best hands down. Should have remake 4 🤔
I played this with an English fan translation on an SNES rom about 10 years ago (the original Front Mission, not Front Mission 1st). I remember playing it was a breeze and a pretty easy game to play, so I'm a little surprised it being referred to as hardcore in this review. I don't know, maybe Front Mission 1st reworked the difficulty and depth and that probably carried over to this remake. I'll probably get this when I get the chance because I'm curious about that 2nd campaign.
Played Front Mission 3 on the PS1, then bought the DS release. Thinking of retrying the DS version and replaying Front Mission 3 on the PS Vita before spending money on the switch version. 🤔❤️🤖
7:15 The original DS translation was perfectly fine, it's this remake that ruined it.
I hate Forever Entertainment so much. All of their remakes are cheap as hell and barely an improvement over the originals, if not actually a downgrade. I recommend people skip this remake.
I'll buy this if they guarantee a Front Mission 4 remake.
FM3 and 4 spoiled me, so I barely played FM1st despite owning a DS copy. I always wanted to go back to it to give it another shot, and I would love to support the series' return. That said, I'm not buying a Switch near the end of its lifespan just for a remake of a SNES title that I already own on DS. Time to break out the ol' DS Lite.
Side note: The DS Lite is so resilient. No peeling paint or faulty buttons after thousands of hours of play over 15 years. Even the spring loader is perfectly fine. Besides my SNES (that still works perfectly nearly 20 years after dropping a flat-screen CRT on it and shattering the entire case), I've never had such a reliable system.
The fan translation is far superior. It was also just flat out used for the DS version. Oddly the name of the Mercenary company you lead in the OCU campaign changed from "Carrion Crow" to "Canyon Crows" the original name honestly was a far cooler name for a Mercenary company. Carrion tended to refer to scavenger animals that consumed the bodies after a battle. The original fan translation pretty much made your Mercenary company sound like Death incarnate.
The retcon is straight up. "Pick a random type of geography and a random Animal."
Other details I noticed are changes to the tone. In the fan translation Lloyd threatens to shoot Sakata. In the first Mission for talking out of line. With the first visual of the airfield being a Wanzer aiming it's gun at the cockpit of a landed jet. In the remake the weapon is tilted up so it's not implied to being aimed at the cockpit of an aircraft.
Honestly the fan translation is far superior it's kinda sad.
I'll be waiting for a pc/xbox/ps port. If that doesn't happen there is always emulators. Dumb decision to only release on Swithc to be honest.
Wtf I had no idea this game stealth released. My guess is it will get physical if ever when 2 comes out bundled.
nice review! i would love to buy the game but have to save up a bit… €35 is a bit steep for me atm and i hope they would do a sale where this game gets a discount
Tried this game out and I have to say it's a bit disappointing so far. Everything is obscenely RNG, customization is minimal, and the actual tactics are very basic. I'd rather replay Ring of Red, now there's a game that could use a re-release.
I would love FM3 with some real next-gen graphics on pc or ps5
Personally, this game is a travesty. In the original, when a character activates a skill, the screen gets darker for a second, they removed that for no reason.
When you activate double, in the original the character would just punch with one hand, then punch with the other, but now they rush forward, punch, move back, rush forward to punch again.
No voice acting at all.
Portraits look the same.
I feel like 3 guys can fire up Unreal Engine and make a better remake. Screw this.
The first game was one of the first Tactical RPGs I've ever played. It hurts having them "remake" it just for it to be a parody of itself. Disgraceful.
Yoiu chose a great tune from the game, as background music for this video.
This is why. I bought a switch and I heard FM 2 and 3 are getting remade on it!
I love that they updated the graphics, it is a shame there wasn't a feature that allowed me to alternate to an updated/revised/polished/modernized version of the gameplay. That would have been really something to write home about.
Honestly I would recommend any old school mech enthusiast to wrap their heads around emulators and download the DS version from over a decade ago…thought I think its in Japanese(?)…no big though, I remember I found out walkthroughs that will teach you the basics, just enough so one can navigate through the menus, and get the hidden conversations with characters at key moments during the campaign (leads to items and secret missions), without having to learn Japanese.
Don't get me wrong, I love this game, it came at a time when everything JRPG was trying to be the next Final Fantasy, but FrontMission was mechas in a world with a rather dark tone, where the lines separating the good guys and bad guys are rather blurry, and at the end? Not exactly what I would call a happy ending…not even bittersweet.
