I was still sick when I recorded this batch of videos. So sometimes I cough or sneeze and I cut that out. The video I recorded that had the simulator and the next battle in it was pretty long so I took out the simulator and added it to a video that was shorter to even out the time. I’m trying to keep the video length to a reasonable and more consistent length.

@@leonstarkwryt5254 I like the idea of Elsa and Bosch fighting him alone to show that he’s not as dangerous as the game wants you to think he is. Falling back to regroup is probably the better strategy though.

@@leonstarkwryt5254 I like doing two groups of 3 so I can split up to take care of early simulator objectives easier.

The next mission is even longer it's 4 videos long. it's a good game, but the missions are crazy long. You can make a battle save, but when you load the save it gets deleted.

@@jackylee5850 I changed the starter parts to weigh nothing. Once you have access to the first store you can use a mix of parts to equip the beam gun. It weighs 127 which is only 46 more than the first missile launcher.

Modified the weight huh, that's one way to go about it I guess. I tried something similar once, increased the number of machinegun shots from 10 to 30-40, and it was more than enough to scrap any enemy. Tried it with shotgun too, and it works just as well, although it has a higher chance of crashing the game since it was never meant to fire more rounds than it should, the game likely can't handle registering a burst of 60 rounds from a single shotgun blast.

@ I’ve been messing around to try and get a cannon, but so far I haven’t had any luck.

If you mean the cannon from a tank, it doesn't even have a model for a wanzer to equip. Those giant Kexi near the end of the game does have a rifle sized cannon, but again that isn't meant for the average wanzer to wield. God knows how the game will flip out when you equip stuff that it's not meant for.

@ I downloaded a save off the FM3 Reload Discord that had a hacked shoulder weapon that was a cannon using a grenade launcher model. I’ve tried to do something similar, but it just crashes the game.

@@daceyjenton1548 I wonder if the decision to release outside of Japan was made late in development so the localizations were rushed. Sony may have pushed Konami for an international release to help beef up the number of games out around the launch of the PS2.

@@daceyjenton1548 I don’t mind the repair backpacks. They wanted a faster paced game than FM3 and the repair backpacks let them do that. With the number of enemies you’d have a lot of turns where you’re not attacking and just using items to stay alive.

@@daceyjenton1548 I never knew that. I haven’t played the demo I got the game shortly after it released.

@@jeroti187 The demo disc was the first few missions of each campaign, but with the story segments in between removed and no wanzer customization. I think I played it almost as much as I played the actual game, I was so blown away by how good the wanzers looked compared with 3.

@@DatLazyBoi I used a GameShark code to force the inferno dialer to show up in the network early. Then I called the number that gives the special wanzer a bunch of times to get all the beams I needed.

Obviously he hacked it in, since there's only one beam gun that came with the Hoshun, and that's very late into the game.

@@jeroti187 Where did you get that specific cheat?8O

@@DatLazyBoi gamehacking.org/game/88888 It’s in the miscellaneous section

I was mostly recovered from my cold while recording this so I could talk a bit louder and for a longer time without coughing, which helped a lot. Unfortunately the game volume is really high compared to my voice so when the music is loud in game it overwhelms my voice. It should be better balanced in the next recording.

@@Mikediszel I used a GameShark code to force the inferno dialer to show up in the network early. Then I called the number that gives the special wanzer a bunch of times to get all the beams I needed.

@@NurJanah-c2c It doesn’t make a difference which hand the weapon is in. I just picked a hand and kept it the same for everyone.

We won't get any bazooka skill levels until the computer shop opens up, so I'm using the high accuracy arms to make up for it a bit. I've recorded two more episodes and I've noticed the damage has a big range. When I get a 3 person link and everyone gets a direct hit the damage is really impressive, but if everyone misses and all I get is the fire damage then it's not that great especially if the enemy has fire armor. The real problem is the quick dodgy guys who evade a lot. They waste my limited ammo and the 6 AP.

I'll probably say it wrong about half the time like the last FM4 play through.

jeroti wanzer pronounce 99% accurate.

Hopefully it'll be some explosive entertainment.

I looked up what was used in Vietnam and the US was supplying them with mostly M1 Garand, M1 Carbine and M14 rifle. The game takes place during that time period so the infantry weapons should be similar. Looking at the weapons in the game I think the rifle is likely the M1 Grand or M1 Carbine.

@@kittimaichue4428 Thanks. I’ll probably get the remake on switch, but I don’t have a capture card so I won’t be able to record a play through until it comes out on PC. From what I’ve seen of the remake in the demo video the game needs a lot of work before it’s ready. Hopefully they put in the work and don’t release it similar to the demo video or it’ll be a huge disappointment and flop.

@@donipamungkas5370 Yeah this is a live or death situation and it’s just a parked car. A big rig would have not problem pushing a small car like that out of the way.

It's weird I but it works. Maybe the people who watch are like me and have a big queue in my watch later so it's often 1-2 days before I get to a video. I've had my own video show up in my recommended before so maybe it takes a bit before I get some traction. From what I understand it's more common to get a burst of views to start then they taper off like you experience instead of a slow burn like I have going on.

Kazuki has a glass jaw. I don't want him to do down like a chump.

@@leonstarkwryt5254 I don’t like messing with that stuff too much. It’s a pain to search up the item codes for each pilot to get the bazooka. I definitely don’t want to use a code that adds every item to my inventory either. The beams worked out great because I could just use a code to force the inferno dialer to appear and then call as much as I needed to get all the beams I want. If there was a code to unlock all of the shops on the computer I’d do that. Those kind of codes usually stop working if you load a save with them off. So I could buy a bunch of bazookas equip them then load the save with the code off. I’ll try and see if I can find something like that.

@@leonstarkwryt5254 Looking into it a bit, I think I could use a code to have 99 of the first bazooka you can buy in my inventory at the start of the game. Then I could equip them after the setup menu becomes available.

Now that I've spent a bunch of time figuring it out I finally got something to work, but it's a real hassle to do. I'll have to start a new game on a different emulator so I can load a codebreaker disk first, and use a code to have 99 of the first bazooka. Once I play until I get the setup screen I can equip the bazooka and save the game. I'll probably have to play until I get the USN setup screen too. Once the code is off I should still have all the bazookas in my inventory. Then I can save the game and convert that memory card into a format for the main emulator I use. The main emulator isn't accepting the cheats no matter what I do and the old emulator I have makes the game look and run like garbage, so I don't want to use it for the challenge.

@@leonstarkwryt5254 I figured the negative priority of the beams would be a problem for fast attack. I wonder if it would work if I pared it with initiative to force the beam to go first.

@@LuckyLenghe I didn’t do anything special for this game. I’m using the same setup that I did for Front Mission 4. I’ll leave myself a reminder to make a quick video showing the settings after I get home from work today.

@@daceyjenton1548 Thanks for the support. I think it’ll be pretty fun too. It’s been a long time since I played it last. Despite its age the game holds up well.

@@MsOniHime I used a GameShark code to force the inferno dialer to show up in the network. Then I used the number to get the Hoshun and a beam weapon over and over until I had enough beam gun for the team.

@@RX782GP03 they’re really nice to have. It’s a shame the skills don’t activate very often.

@@RX782GP03 I like AP-30 more than 60. It goes off way more often than AP-60. Firing squad while cool to watch rarely goes off even with a high activation computer. I found that skill +1 or +2 would go off a lot same with Zoom 1. Panic shot was pretty uncommon and double shot was rare. You need some toughness on your wanzers because sooner or later you’ll get hit and have no AP to use the shield.

@@RX782GP03 A bit of a spoiler but the whole playlist will be 38 videos. I’ve got it all recorded and uploaded already. The final episode will go up on Nov 26.

@@EstyLestari-s2u I can in a different play through. This one is already off the history. In a way it’s accurate since the rebels were wiped out quick, but He Jin’s force didn’t break apart like it did historically. It would be easier in a scenario that’s later in the timeline. The early you are the greater the chance that something doesn’t go right. If I played on the later scenarios where the three kingdoms are already established then to match history I’d need to play as Cao Cao force, become emperor, defeat Liu Bei first then defeat Sun Ce force.

@@leonstarkwryt5254 in my last play through the rifle consistently out preformed the bazooka. The Minotaur arms will do better than the rifle due to shooting twice, but the Grom bazooka wasn’t able to compete with the rifle I was using on Zead. While there is guaranteed damage on a miss you’ll miss more often due to the accuracy drop off. When enemies evade you get nothing just like a rifle, but there’s not a lot you can do about that.

The closest I go with a historical play through is having the right faction win the scenario. I had planned on joining the rebels and using them to unify the country, but did an event that wiped them out. I’ve recorded a few more episodes and He Jin’s faction is dominating. Unless he dies it’s likely that he’ll win.

@@daceyjenton1548 In the beams only video I just recorded I mathed out when Ring of Red will start to show up, which is November 13. I haven’t played the game in a long time so I’m hoping that the game still holds up and it’s not just nostalgia.

@@ValAllenSamonte yeah it’s so weird. I think it’s funny when the path is so long that the sound stops. There are a few levels with this issue but this one is the worst for it.

@@leonstarkwryt5254 I’ve put some thought into a FM4 challenge, but not a lot. The game is longer and the maps are big, but if you cut out all the story stuff like I do for FM3 it might not be so bad. Bazooka only would be interesting, it’s inaccurate but has long range. You’ll have a hard time taking advantage of the range and reliably hitting enemies. You will get to take advantage of the sniper skill setup which can help, but won’t have snipe until late game. I’m not sure when the bazooka starts to show up in the store but play normal until Incan buy it and do from there. I was thinking of playing FTL after I finish the beams only FM3 run, but maybe I could do bazooka only instead.

@@leonstarkwryt5254 I know FM3 was like that because it shows you in the set up screen. I didn’t know that FM4 was the same.

@@tonywhite9619 Our best hope is its performs well enough to justify a remake of 4 but not well enough to use the same company again. What I think will actually happen is the FM3 remake will do very poorly and SquareEnix will scrap all plans to do remakes of 4 and 5.
