3

[@behzadmirmozaffari2563]

3, always!

[@asdf852asdf]

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,

[@hkoizumi3134]

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

[@MegaRoflgames]

Remember those gundam cockpit arcade games where you could pilot a mobile suit against other players also using the arcade game, both over internet and lan? Of course you don't they were exclusive in Japan and only lasted about 3 years. Now bear with me. The same concept but in VR. The mecha market would detonate.

[@zenithsky5014]

Yeah! I like this specific game when I play it on famicon. Been hunt down it's game later on. I heard that Nintendo switch gonna push remake out soon.

[@MrVariant]

People don't like to think. Call of duty modern warfare 2 made $800M opening weekend. That's more than most movies make, let alone people betray socially conscious values all the time (blizzard lol let alone mobile ripoffs). Even strategy rpgs, people don't think of this obscure series, super robot wars, project x zone, nor fire emblem, just final fantasy tactics (good story, broken gameplay I made an exploits playlist of), it's precursor tactics ogre reborn which will make front mission remake forgotten given so many got tactics ogre already and made hour long prerelease vids, and disgaea (heavy powerleveling and I felt dragging stories). I do find it ironic how transformers makes far better action games but worse strategy than front mission.

[@JonOfTheDead23]

Maybe fromsoft will get back to it. The rest of the japanese developers make goofy anime mech games.

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

[@taufanmaulana609]

Front Mission 3 is the best.

[@TesGon]

That's true. We were playing it for a LOT of hours on PS1 original. And on PS Vita lately. Best ever is FM3.

[@mikereortricano5465]

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

[@cabbage_cat]

KZbin 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.

[@GameNation4K]

No doubt. FM3 was the best.

[@danielhakushi]

Agreed. Still got my old FM3 and play it once a Year as a Tradition.

[@everythingsgonnabealright8888]

I recently tried FM3 for the first time in my life - and man, I understand that people like the branching storyline, but plot itself is almost unbearably stupid, characters as well. Their lines and doings are most of time completely illogical and outright dumb. I thought Front Mission Evolved was an outlier in dumb story department, boy was I wrong.

[@youcube2207]

@@everythingsgonnabealright8888 that is called a Japanese story, manga, or whatever you called it. Characters are bound to make illogical decisions, frequently based on emotions. But fm3 is the best front mission out there.

[@modsleix6]

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...

[@evanpetelle5669]

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.

[@justinkentazarce2847]

Armored core has 6 but idk for front mission beacuse they said they would make a collaboration

[@jonathankozenko]

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!

[@RogueDragon05]

There is an English fan translation of FM5 out there

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

[@TheDutchGhost]

@@xxmanstar I would also like a remake or perhaps even a sequel, though preferably a side scroller like the original. FM Evolve was intended to be Gun Hazard 2 until Square Enix transferred the project to another studio. There was actually a prequel manga taking place before the game that expanded on some of the characters, but like the game it never came to the West. An anime like the Castlevania one would have been nice.

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.

[@danielji2742]

agreed

[@dunk2k2000]

Didn't help the franchise any by expanding on the "out of wanzer" mechanic in Left Alive, when that gameplay element was heavily criticized as a negative in Evolved. Not sure if Evolved was meant to be an Armored Core clone/competitor; the premise of piloting wanzers has always been appealing to fans, considering Front Mission has been mainly been turn based tactics, it's such a shame Evolved's implementation of this felt copied, dull, and uninspired. That's not to discredit the time and effort, regardless their reception, that went into making both games mentioned here. Dual Gear is an worthy example of keeping the turn based tactics elements that are a staple of Front Mission and blending it with Action genre elements to create a unique experience that is both familiar and new.
