Front Mission 5 scan

Well, the scan looks nice.. Let's just hope the series finally made a succesful jump to the PS2. Front Mission 4 looked like a PSOne game to me, but it's still fun as hell though.
 
No Front Mission love?
I'm pretty surprised this is coming out so soon. They kept it quiet for a long time after announcing it ages ago. Looks nice, but I hope it plays better than 4 at least.
 
I saw it at TGS... At SE's videowall... It looks pretty good...

They also have a FM for cell phones coming out in Japan, and then FMO...
 
I'm hopeful. I was 'eh' on Front Mission 4, but I loved FM3. I hope FM5 can take the best from both games and provide just the right flow.

Scans look nice.

IV played pretty well. It wasn't perfect but the link system was good stuff and some of the maps were really cool. I'd say the weakest part of IV was the story parts and the slightly dumbed down gameplay systems. Enemy AI was also a little too predictable but they are in basically every SRPG.

I can't wait for V :) Though coming out only a week after Kingdom Hearts 2 I think it's going to sell about 5 copies.

Well, I would have posted earlier, but considering where FM3 ranks in my book I thought it would be too boring to just make an OMG FM5 post.
 
I like it, but I preferred FM4's artist over this new guy. Still good, though. I'm hoping this one will be more about strategy than exploiting weaknesses in the CPU AI to beat overwhelming odds.
 
No more cardboard cutout antagonists.
No more 2 hour battles.
No more excluding weapon-types from teams.
No rote leveling.

EDIT: And I wanna capture mechs again.
 
Anyone know where FM5 fits in chronologically? And yes, hopefully this one will cherry pick the best parts of 3 and 4.

Loved 3; found 4 a step back and completely pedestrian. For this one I'd like to see battles with a little ingenuity in them, a much better interface (4's sucked), and the return of the in-game Internet.

And yes, it's Naora again, though his style is toned down a little from 4.

Already at 5? OMG.
Is that so strange? The first game came out in '95...
 
Well, it seems the graphics are a lot better.. Hopefully it will indd be a little tougher than 4, then it would be another great S-RPG.. :D
