I've never played a Front Mission game. How difficult are they? I'm generally not interested in playing games unless they're ball busters. Easy games put me to sleep.
It's hard as frick. I guarantee you that you won't be able to beat it on hard mode. Normal mode is still hard.
I wouldn't call it easy but I wouldn't call it a ball buster. There's some rougher maps but it's above average difficulty overall (I'm bad at SRPGs though so)
The only "hard" mission in FM1 is the Hell's Wall mission, which iirc is the seventh mission in the game, everything else is easy.
FM2 is similar in that it doesn't really have hard missions per se, it's more that the character building system somewhat incentivizes you to learn the ins and outs of the game because the faster you learn to exploit it the easier the missions get, the game's difficulty is directly linked to how good you are at building your characters, also slow as frick because of the forced cinematics for every single attack where your Wanzers have to reenact an entire episode of VOTOMS just to shoot a pistol (and miss).
FM3 is just 1 again, simplified character building and easy missions, except there's somehow even worse balance than 1 and rather schizophrenic mechanics (some skills are better at level 1 than they are at higher levels, somehow), it has two main story paths though, this was retroactively adapted to FM1 since the PSX remake however and FM1 has a way better cast outside of Liu, Liu is the saving grace of FM3.
FM4 is similar to FM3, it's a mess mechanically and it's also kinda worse in terms of design in that it's just as slow as FM2 somehow, but unlike 2 none of the maps are interesting, the cast is okay though.
FM5 is still more of the same, less annoying mechanically, probably the only game together with 2 that you'd play for the mechanics actually, decent cast, same old muh terrorism story, kinda decent as a general conclusion to the overarching plot as a lot of narrative thread get a closure of sort in here, still not difficult however.

FM4 also has that terrible mission where you have to keep the idiot freedom fighters alive, that was the only mission I struggled on for it, and I struggled even on NG+ because the idiots have the shittiest fricking mechs.

Something I really don't like in FM3 was just how much they scaled back battles. At most you have dozen wanzers at any point.
FM1 is fairly easy. Some maps are harder than others but as long as you stay on top of your upgrades it never gets actually difficult.
i loved them, they created my passion for western mecha. ironically the game is japanese. but has no gundam shit.
Yes I played it upon release. It wasn't terrible. The graphics mostly looked okay (although the animations were rudimentary) and you can use the original soundtrack. IMO the main issue with FM1 is that it is unbalanced, and the remake seemed to replicate the original mechanics precisely. In this case a few balance tweaks would have been justified. Also it was a little janky in parts (I had one soft lock and Nathalie started speaking in what I assume to be Polish at one point). Nonetheless I enjoyed replaying it.
The problem is that the SNES game has excellent sprite art, so the remaster doesn't add anything. There is a second campaign which is included in all releases after the SNES version, and it is very good, but you can also play it on the DS or PS1 version.
TLDR; the remake isn't bad but doesn't fix any issues with the original. You could emulate the DS version and lose nothing. I look forward to the FM2 release.
FM1 is quite easy once you know what you are doing. Later on, if you choose the right upgrades, it becomes trivial. However figuring out the right path can be difficult. Just don't use an FAQ and it will be enjoyable. It's not ball-busting in any case although you might have to experiment with different strategies for some maps.
>I look forward to the FM2 release.
this is the main reason I'm excited since it will finally be a way to normally play the damn thing in english
I never had to restart a mission though roughly half-way through I figured out how to farm exp. Once you level up the skills, especially the machine gun aiming ability, the challenge is gone. FM2 is harder just because the levels are massive but the original is unplayable due to loadtimes and a low effort translation job so wait for the remake.
>so wait for the remake.
Anon... the Remake has been out like a week on steam.
I'm talking about the second one which isn't out yet. I'm talking about FM2 in that sentence so it's pretty obvious.
Is this a remake of the first game?
Yup remake was done by a European studio
They have license to do remakes of first three games, so 2nd and 3rd are coming eventually too.
Remaster rather than remake. It plays the exact same as the snes version with no updated mechanics
It has the exclusive stuff from the DS remake that was not in the SNES release.
first game was too boring and simple gameplay-wise so I'm not going to replay it, but I will get the fm2 remake
Weird thread. I can't tell if you're insulting the game or trying to make people mad or something with that writing style. I don't get it. Good game though, and pretty good remake.
I started the first one on snes, with a translated rom, its good. Not playing that fricking souless slop remake, looks so fricking cheap
What makes you say that? I thought it looked fine. I played the original years ago and I think this captures it pretty well.
they try to be respectful with everything I give you that, but everything looks cheap, like made with royalty free assets, the grass, the models, it was made recently but it looks like a student project game with unity
thats just all modern games now to be honest
They touched up the Amano portraits and made them look less cool too. The original snes and even the DS port are preferable
The only Front Mission game I've played to completion is Gun Hazard. 1 was way too basic to hold my attention for more than a few missions, and 2 and 3 were basically visual novels with endless cutscenes.
>yall
>legit hella dope
Consider suicide.
>This OP
Anyway I'm having fun with it and death to the UCS
