Unless you’re a die-hard fan of the original or the TRPG genre in general, you’re probably safe to give this one a miss or just lower the difficulty of the combat to enjoy the story. Despite the strengths of the setting and the characters, the gameplay becomes more frustrating than fun and won’t keep most players engaged past the first few hours. It’s a shame because there is a brilliance to telling the same story from two opposing points of view, but that gets buried beneath poorly implemented mechanics. Unfortunately, modern visuals and sound can't salvage gameplay here that feels too random to be satisfying.
FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake is one of the better tactical RPGs on the market.
Man, I know it’s probably never going to happen, but I wish we could get Front Mission 5 localized and with trophy support.
Front Mission 1st: Remake is the long awaited chance for fans to experience the game that established the iconic franchise.
Man, I hope this does well. I bought it on Switch and PS5. Trying to get the platinum.
My fear is it sells terrible and they can the others. What I really hope is we can get Front Mission 4 and 5 Remasters with full on trophy support. If that’s all we end up getting I’d be happy.

There’s always gotta be one…
