So I've Been Playing: FRONT MISSION 3 [ Review PS1 ]

[@hemangchauhan2864]

[@BygPhattyPlus]

FM3 does have a training mode where you can level your team when not doing storyline, which I used to make sure no one was underleveled.

[@greenhowie]

Especially if you download the end-game Fukushima map at the start and just throw your weak ass basic wanzers at SF guys a dozen times. HACKING, SON.

[@Sudo_Nimh]

Oh yeah buddy, don't tell me there's no grinding when I've done training mode enough time to get Ryogo with ROF UP 5 times in his skill bar :D

[@Warbandit100]

WRONG! you can't get platinum if your characters are too overleveled on their main, unless you switch their wanzers to make them learn other skills while switching back to their main for every story mission.

[@Activated_Complex]

I played through this game twice, once for each storyline, and had no idea this existed. Huh. That would’ve made some frustrating battles considerably easier. Still wouldn’t have stopped that one tool from charging forward into the midst of the enemy. No way to level his dumb ass and put some more points into common sense.

[@tipsyConfection]

Shame you didn't mentioned that this game has 2 completely different, opposite storylines that even if they happen to cross in some places and times, you get to see everything from a completely different perspective. And, hell, you really didn't give the story much of a look, it deserves more i think. Otherwise, great review as always. You should try Front Mission V someday, cuz i personally think it's the best one just because of the story and characters. Also, it spans across a lot of years, so many years that the events of Front Mission 3 start and end somewhere in the middle of V's story iirc. The only bad thing is that it was never released in the west, but at least fans did a great job fan-translating it a long time ago. God i love Front Mission, shame it's dead now.

[@FredHerbert999]

Because of the industry's obsession with photorealistic graphics. Casual and younger gamers wont buy a game if its not absolutely real looking. SE has tryed making smaller budget games like i am setsuna and lost sphear, but to only mediocre success. Its really sad. Id take a front mission 5 thats made with the FM3 engine over anything "so pretty" any day. Dont get me wrong, FF7R looks amazing and so pretty, but its an anomaly for me. Generally, i prefer older looking games where the dev put much more time and effort into story, gameplay, music/audio. TL;DR Cause ppl are freaking idiots.

[@Jack_80]

@@FredHerbert999 ff7r is not even gonna compare to the original and there's a pretty good chance we'll all be dead by the time they're done milking it. it looks pretty nice visually but gameplay wise it looks like a mediocre action game to me. it looks like i'd be getting bored already in the first overly long, repetive boss fight. it's going to be broken into at least 3 games, very possibly more by the sound of it, and i'm sure each part will have plenty of dlc. i would rather have new ff games with ps1 graphics that are as large and complete as 7-9 than this crap. i feel like i'm the only person on the planet that couldn't care less about ff7 remake. sad thing is that when people are this hyped for a game, it can be complete garbage and most people will still praise it, like they're brainwashed by hype into forming an opinion before even playing it, and nothing will change that opinion.

Ring of Red ! Yes ! What an outstandingly unique game.

[@saganaki_1]

OH MAN. Im a big fan of political themed mecha, played FM3 and 4 but never tried Ring of Red. might get one for emulator

[@Yarsh52]

My initial exposure to Front Mission was in 2007 when the first one was ported to the DS. As dated as it seemed even then, it was still a great deal of fun. It had a dark, pseudo-futuristic military vibe and engaging combat that had me hooked. I have been meaning to follow up by playing Front Mission 3, but damn does that game have a daunting amount of content!

[@alteregoreview]

I totally agree with you about permadeath. People talk about how much they like it, but most if not all of them probably just save scum and try again. It's a tedious mechanic that just has people crossing their fingers in hopes that the enemy doesn't crit them or they didn't place any of their fragile units too far out. Cool vid btw

[@alteregoreview]

StaySkeptic That's true, it would cut back on the amount of save scumming. However, it would force players to stick with a very hardcore approach to game design. Even Fire Emblem has phased away from permadeath with the option of Casual Mode. Also, it might force an overhaul of the current save system for some games. Fire Emblem has saves that function in the old school way and if it changed to an autosave system, they'd have to rethink how the game works.

[@Chelaxim]

Permadeath+Finite Playable Characters+Finite Gold+Finite Experience+Characters that are objectively better or worse than others+Finite Healing Item=Inevitable Bullshit Waiting to happen.

[@anonamatron]

If you like permadeath, try playing the original versions of Wizardry. Go get Wizardry for DOS and tell me how far you get. It doesn't even HAVE saves. Well, it always saves, so maybe I should say it doesn't have loads.

[@sukotsutoCSSR]

I can never pinpoint why I love this game so much, but having played this game for hundreds of hours, there's just something about this game that really hits it right with me. The "20 minutes into the future" trope where it's futuristic with all the mech stuff, but everything else is modern day, the more mature political story that you never really saw in any other game at the time, the more realistic look and feel the characters have (also unlike other games at the time) I feel it's one of the best games I've ever played, and the only thing I wish for it is to have more of it, especially post-game stuff. And balancing. At a certain point, it become very easy with all the broken battle skills, so I had to challenge myself by using odd loadouts

[@Unquestionable]

So I've spent the last 3 months or so absolutely devouring this channel and playing through most everything recommended (much fun has been had and looks to continue indefinitely) so I was mega hyped to come across a game that I absolutely love and double mega hyped to see my opinion reinforced. It's a satisfying feeling to presume my own personal thoughts and musing have been hijacked from my brain and thrown on the internet for all to indulge in.

[@Aussie_Tom]

This was one of my go-to games back in the PS1 era... absolutely love everything about it, even browsing 'the internet'. Actually just found this video after talking to a mate about older games we really enjoyed, and finding footage to show him Front Mission 3 ;) Might actually replay it now. I've played each of the numbered games, 1 to 5, as well as the spin off, Gun Hazard, but FM3 is easily the best of the lot.

I was told to start with Ace Combat 4, but reading up about a 3 now, it looks really cool. The menu's indeed look fucking amazing, and the Japanese box art is great too. Will play one day.

[@beat-man5167]

I was the one that told you to start with 4 lol. In hindsight, I really wanted you to talk about 3 considering not many ppl are talking about the true version. I didn't know the patch was finished until someone on twitter told me. Tbqf It is one of those series where the core gameplay doesn't change much, so I dunno how you'll feel about covering them. But given that you reviewed the Yakuzas and the Tales Ofs, I think you'll manage lol. I just don't want you getting burnt out on them like you did with Tekken (sadly). Maybe a retrospective? Maybe 4, 5 and 0 should share a vid? I really want to hear you talk about the series' themes, music, atmosphere and stuff. Like how Ace Combat Zero has Spanish guitars, references to Arthurian mythos and over the top Metal Gear-esque war speeches. So either 3 or 4, it's up to you. I'm looking forward to your take on the series.

[@SmokeyBCN]

the internet/email system in the game is really unique and amazing for the time. I'm surprised no game has tried to emulate this as a way to interactively flesh out the lore. Cyberpunk had a sort of "browser" but it was rather plain and essentially just reading flat webpages that occasionally changed as you advanced in the main missions. But 20 years earlier we were reading bulletin boards, shopping for software, decrypting files and frantically writing down passwords.

as for what parts that's on the good part, the starting wanzer itself is one of the strongest statwise albeit mostly weak skills outside ROFUP I (which is borderline OP), or if you want to ditch your starting wanzer because you don't like the looks, there are bunch of good wanzers to use or salvage for parts namely; Yongsai 3, Wude 3, Shangdi 1, Tieqi 4, Shunwang 1, Mingtian 1, Qibing 0 (only in Emma's Story), Whisk, Grezex, Prov PAW2 personally, I would recommend using Tieqi 4 body as soon as you can get/buy them because they are lighter while having more power thus gave you more rooms for weapons, also don't underestimate the Yongsai 3 because it looked sucks on the upgrades because it is actually solid if you just ignore evasion and just prefer to have extra HP and good armor

Great title, overall! This game (let alone, the series) has a compelling adventure tale that centers on politics, war, humanity, and of course the Wanzers, much like Gundam. When it comes to the essence of the game, I think the creators of the series had learned by watching movies like Top Gun, Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, Full Metal Jacket, The Manchurian Candidate, Citizen Kane, Platoon, Short Circuit, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Red Dawn, and many other titles.

Just wanted to say that after finally getting into FM3, l really missed out on the most fun Turned based RPG ever on the ps1. Had this as a kid for my ps2, but hated reading and l remembered it felt dull. That is not true, in terms of a turn based game, The Legend Of Dragoon and XenoSaga are the only one l ever replayed. Now FM3 is the King, just from the pacing, the real sense of power from the sound design, and the different REAL playstyles you can use in this without getting screwed to much for trying new things makes this a true joy to play. Maybe not the deepest of this genre, but its just fun to play. And the custom wanzer setups really make you want to play as much of the game as possible, it helps that battles are fast and fluid rather than slow and filled with even slower walking around a large open-ish world before combat.

It's a pretty deep series with ridiculous plots, twists, turns, and political power plays. You will of course have to turn your brain off when considering that Australia and Japan are the spear heads of a militarized national unity that North America were so jealous of they decided to force South America into joining their newly found fully forced organization United States of new Continent. It is absolutely stupid, but that is what makes the story fantastic. The only thing left that would make it even better is if it had Dues Ex level conspiracies. The first one is rough around the edges and the UI isn't as pretty but it's still a solid game 25 years later. I haven't played the second one so I'm not sure what that is like, but I personally believe that FM3 is the best one in the series. I highly recommend either emulating the game or buying a PS1 just to play FM3 alone.

15:45 - 16:00 This is what made me love this game and this is why I hate what they showed us of the remake.

I just finished this game again last night, Emma route. I first played this game during my high school days, that time my english is not as good as now. I played only for the gameplay. But now my english good enough for me to also enjoy the story. This game's story is good, full with political stuff, betrayal, person using another person, and tales of bravery and friendship. Now I can't wait to play Alisa route too. ( But how come my favorite character is Isao Takemura, he was not even playable lol)

Man when playing this game I really didn't like Kazuki that much at all. Elsa from FM4 was much more likeable as was Daryl. Haven't played FM5 yet, please Square just fuckin release it.

[@ot4_retrogaming]

one of the greatest games on the psx, together with FF7 on top of my list. Its soooo good! leveling the skills can be painful, but also rewarding. i love it so much, sadly the series has died.

[@ruslana4135]

surrender isn't much effective and often random af later on the game especially in Emma's Story, you can get Pilot Damage I skill and high activation COM.... just spam those skill until 6 skill slots you have on a character is full, and equip your "pilot killer" character's wanzer with early game weapon, however in Alisa's Story you can't get access to Pilot Damage I skill bcs the very wanzer that lets you learn it isn't available so you had to stick with the funny Eject Punch and then blast the ejected pilots upfront

This game is long! When you think you’re getting to the end, it’s actually only halfway through.
