[PS2] FRONT MISSION 5: ~Scars of the War~

Yeah, I'm going through FM4 right now, which had the graphical clarity of a next gen title, and what looked like the color pallete of an 8-bit title. I'm guessing they were going for a nitty-gritty look, but it just ended up looking bland. Though the voice acting was decent, the needed to be moved away from the talking heads of all the previous versions. Which FM5 does. Not to mention it was only about half as deep as FM3. I really hope they give it a chance over here.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for the heads up, Saiken. Good to know. Also, let's consider that the Square Enix website says that the list is partial: they may yet have a trick or to up their sleeve.

I compared the list here to the official SE E3 page -

And there have been two new cell phone games added, so nothing's final.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Dude, SE still hasn't got it officially trademarked in the States yet. Check it out:

It's still up in the air.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What website/store did you do this at? Also, It just occured to me that when the copyright is complete, they might end up saving it for a holiday release (and they might not even commit money to it, or consider doing so, until it can be released legally in the States.)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Indeed. I'm personally hoping for a possible holiday release - but it would have to be a quick localization, and I'd rather they work at a pace that suits a good release. Also, not to sound like a smartass, but not calling the SE people knuckleheads would be a good start. And localization is no simple task. I hate to say it, but SE simply might not want to take the risk in porting this one over - given that FM4 didn't do so hot over here, since you needed a sense of Front Mission nostalgia to understand why Frederick was there (he's from the very first game on the SNES) and that it didn't quite live up to the other titles in the series.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hmmm, seeing ales #'s would be interesting, given that Sony doesn't release thier sales figures (only units shipped), but would seperate game companies release thier sales #'s? Depends. All I know is that I was able to get a copy of FM4 in the bargain bin at Gamestop for 10 bucks, and the copy I got was new, but had been declared used for sales purposes - which is what happens when a company has excess games they want to offload. (I work at this Gamestop, BTW. That's how I know.) So who knows. As for comparisons to Suikoden, I looked on Ebay - nothing Front Mission related there is selling for over $20 (except actual copies of FM5) and in Suikoden items, the original PS1 games were commanding prices of up to $150, and there were 5 pages worth of items, as opposed to two. I don't want to kill hope here, but this title has a fair amount going against it. I still hope for the best, though. Given the current release schedule of SE games, though, I wonder when they'd sneak it in...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
